LOCAL YOUTH EMULATEs HERO
OF BIBLICAL TIMES BUT USES
THE "NEcK BONE OF A BRUTE

The neck "bone Of brute" is nam
ed as the instrument Of assault In q
case filed in the police court this aft
ernoon by BERTHE Bales, who accuses
"Wiggy" Phillips of emulating the
Sampson Of old with the one difference
that the modern Sampson, who is an
employe Of the packing house did not
use the jaw-bone of an ass as did the
hero Of biblical times, but instead
seized handy neck bone of some
kind of an animal and with this punct-
uated the argument which had arisen
between the two men, Bales filed in
formation in the police court charging
assault and battery. The case will
probably be heard tonight. The Phil
lips side of the controversy will be
told at that time.

Taft at Davenport.
Secretary Taft, defending the Presi
dent in his speech last night, said:
Usurpation Of Power.
Sometimes concern is expressed lest
the power given the executive of the
nation, should usurp that impaired bv
the constitution to the legislative and
judicial branches. but in government
like our there Is less danger of
rsurpation by the executive than by
other branches of the government.
Congress holds the purse strings, and
II would be impossible for an executive
to go any distance without appropria :
ticns. The senate must confirm his
appointments; and how far could he go
IL 1t refused to do SO? 1t is true that
in recent years some powers have beer,
coded to those Of the executive which
may look like usurpation, but they are
rot really so.'

Of Plot to Kill
ssScabs"

Boise, Idaho, June 12.-With the re-
option of the Haywood trial this
morning the cross-examination Of Hay
~ Orchard continued.
The cross-examination was carried
over the attempt on the life Of Cover
nor Peabody at Canon City and the
events Immediately succeeding, includ-
ing the Goddard and Gabbert dyna-
mite plots and it followed the usual
methods designed to confuse and dis
credit the witness.
s WrangIe With Attorney.
Attorney Richardson again suggest
sed that Orchard was being coached
by sDetecttyo NfcF ssr tIatisa and counsel
s for the prosecution which provoked
the sharpest wrangle that attorney
and witness have had in their long
contest. Orchard spiritedly denied
that he was being coached and assert
ed he was telling the truth. Orchard
said he and Pettibone had discussed
the project Of killing Judge Gabbert,
but that he alone had started out to
murder Judge Goddard with bomb
without any suggestion from Hay
general one made some months be-
fore.
Confeeses Another Crime.
Still another crime came home to
Orchard today when under examina-
tion he confessed that he swindled
farmers in southern Colorado with a
fake insurance game while down there
trying to kill Governor Peabody.
Dog Saved Bell.
Just before the noon recess the mo.
notony of the examination was broken
by Orvhard's description Of his at.
tempt to kill Sherman Bell in Denver
For some twelve nights he was at
Bells residence, he said, waiting for
an opportunity to shoot him and that
more than once Bells life was saved
by the barking of small dog.

alton of Orchards latter Denver ca.

Denies Wanting to Kill 15o.
Twice Richardson asked him if he
did not go to Max Malich and say:
Il can get $50 scabs in a bunch and
/ want to do it," and that Malich told
Y him not to do it. Orchard persisted
that the eDnyer man first suggested it
and furthermore asked him to kill one
McDaniels, a rival in the saloon bust
ness. Malich will appear as a witness
for~the defense and not only tell about
The hotel affair but of Orchards threats
at that time against Steunenberg.
