VETOED BY GOVERNOR.
Hasenfug, Harte md Weber Bills
Returned to Legislature.

Albany. June s-Governor Hughes returned to-
day TO the Legislature without his approval three
bills two of which were introduced by repre-
sentatiyes from Kings County-Senator Hasenfug
and Asscmblyrnan Weber The other is by Senator
Harte OF Queens All three measures provide for
the appointment Of additional officials
One of the bills. that of Senator Hasenflug pro-
vides for six additional city magistrates. four for
Brooklyn and two for Queens six additional ponce
clerks four additional stenographers and four ad-
ditional interpreters. The bill also provides that
the magistrates courts shall be open from a m
to D. M end that in specified districts there shaH
be morning and afternoon sessions during when a
city magistrate shall be in attendance
while It IS important" says the Governor IN
his veto message ito increase the efficiency OF
the magistrates courts, and to this end II may be
desirable to make specific provision for the num-
ber and duration Of sessions. the increase of the
number of magistrates and clerks proposed by this
BILL in my judgment, is unwarranted.
Whatever may be said of the desrablity or ad-
dtlonal magistrates in the Borough of Queens
there is no sufficient for increase of four
magistrates in the Borough of Brooklyn
Senator Hartes bill would amend the county law
so as to provide for the appointment OF additional
assistant district attorneys in the counties OF Erie
The amendment as to Erie County provides
that the District Attorney may appoint such num-
of suDervisors," says the Governor in his veto
message This is IN accordance with the policy
county law This provision a TO Erie County has
also been embodied IN separate OiN winch ~
sThere seems to be ample provision IN the pres res
ent law for the appointment Of an assistant tan Us
nent of the local authorities, such appointment j.
needed Apart this. there is no such eVl-
dence Of this necessity as would warrant me III
TRe Present bill also provides that the District
Attorney of Queens County may appoint two as
sistants and two deputy assistants l have come
to the conclusion that IT is not sound policy TO
nroyide for such matters by additional specia! pro

Experts in the Board Of Elections look for pro-
Ionged fight in the courts the recount
bill becomes a law. They predict, judging from
the ordinary condition Of ballots In every election
that when the disputed ballots are all classified and
ready for the court 20 pass them. there will be
at least fifty thousand that the Mcclellan men will
insist shall be counted their way, and many
more that the Hearst partisans Will insist shall be
counted their way.
The law says that the Appellate Division shall
pass all the disputed ballots In ordinary
election this IS not difficult, but in a fight in
voving the control of the city government II is
conceded that opposing counsel will fight every inch
of the
It IS likely that IN order TO facilitate the task.
the court will direct that ballots in dispute be
classified. that particularly vital ruling wil
dispose Of thousands of contested ballots in any
distinctive class. The tug of VIII come in de-
termining the classification.
The Hearst men Insist that all they ask IS a fair
and full count The court record shows that when

thing. Asked to name the members Of the execu-
tive board at this time. Orchard gave the Of
Jack Simpkns. James Kirwan. NJ C. CoakIey and
Jack Williams
Orchard said It was not Bob MeIdrim OF Tel
luride. who was drinking with Gregory the night
OF his assassination. but a named Mildrlm
whose first name the witness did not remember.
Asked why he shot Gregory three times with his
sswed-or shotgun. Orchard replied cooly:
He didn't go down till the third shot
You kept pumping till he did go down.
Yes; there were Ave six shots in the gun"
Gregory called out something when he was shot
the first time. but Orchard said he could not hear
what II was.
Orchard said he got 500 from Psttlbone day or
two after Gregory's death
Was this specifically for the Gregory matter or
were you a general saared officer for killing peo-
pier asked Richardson.
Il drew money whenever needed IL"
You didn't care what you did to get money so
long as 1t was not work. did your
Il did not work much"
Orchard said there was fixed schedule of
prices for his crimes lie never asked for money
until he needed 1t.
In response to question from Richardson
Orchard said he had written the story OF his life
in book form.
Are you testifying from that narrative or IN
response TO questions?' demanded the attorney
In response to questions Orchard replied posi-
lively. He said he had been at work on the auto
biography all last year.
fte salu Detective MCFARLAND had the work
but denied that Mcfarland had ever suggested
any changes in the narrative
When you and Jack Simpkins were talking
about your experiences In the CPur d'Alenes"
asked Richardson, didn't you tell Simpkins that
IL Governor Steunenberg had not driven you out OF
Idaho you would be a rich man: that your former
partners in the Hercules mine were all million
aires?"
Il told him part of that" Orchard replied. "I
said my partners were all rich men,
Senator Borah. for the state, wanted TO know II
this question was for the purpose of npeaching
the witness by Jack simpkns. who has never been
apprehended.
Yes" replied Richardson. Just soon as your
Pnkertons produce him"
We producing the Western Federation as
fast can" declared Senator Borah.
And a matter OF courtesy to you we have
brought many OF the federation officials and
will bring more If you let know about it," Rich-
ardsOn finally declared
Orchard said that at the time Haywood told hin,
to pull OF something in Cripple Creek. because
he was afraid there might be IA spIit-up in the
miners convention unless something was done
had sent committee to the Governor TO urge that
there was no further need for the troops
Now. then" the attorney went on ARE YOU
sure that Haywood did not say there was likely
to be split-up in the Mine Owners Association
and that se miners would have to do something
II they wanted retain the militia?"
Orchard declared that he remembered nothing Of
the kind.

COLER ACCUSES JOHN ]. GUILFoYLE.

ing that charges be preferred against John J.

anger and. impatient of interruption. he fire.
quenty fngs a sneer at Hawley or Borah or
thunders his objections when ne thinks an in
terruption out of place Clarence Darrow sits
beside him. as watchful cat. Slow of action
and of speech, he seldom takes part in the
passages and is ever ready to smooth the rufled
feelings of each side.
Judge Fremont Wood is perhaps the most
alert Of the principals in the case. Not a word
or movement escapes him. He is prompt in
decision and permits no infringement of the
dignity of the court.
But the coolest man in the court is Orchard
Under Richardson's grilling he has seldom
changed the pitch Of his voice in which he told
his awful tale. His answers come without hesi-
taton 50 far he has not made any material
contradictions. From time TO time he has act
ually corrected the record itself when his an
sWers Of the day before have been read and
the TRANSCRIPTION showed an error. At times
his reply to an assertion made by Richardson Is
positive in the extreme. Il made no such
statement or Il said nothing of the kind"
Is a frequent answer: and, when he finds some
statement not to his satisfaction. he will change
It, always preceding the change with: 'I beg
your pardon, sir but I would like TO change
that answer"

Orchard aids his first wife whom he deserted IN
Canada IN 1895 TO run away with another mans
wife He testified that he had sold a locket and
chain and some Of his property for something
like S1l5. the greater part of which he had sent
to his wife, This property. aside from the
locket and chain. consisted Of a fishing rod. a
gun and n revolver. together with some other
little things. He said that the warden had dis
posed OF these for him with the understanding
that the person buying them could have them
after the trial
Orchard said the warden told him that he had
received part of this money from Governor

Despite everything that sensational
magazines may say, the women of the
United States continue to have faith in
Peruna.
These women know great deal more
about Pcruna than the editors who have,
for selfish purposes, written against 1t.
These women have tried Peruna in
their families. They have taken 1t
themselves. They know 1t will help
them.
They have suffered from various all.
ments, and Peruna has come to their re.
lief, even when the doctors failed 70
cure them.
Such women cannot be convinced by
any editorial spasm that their favorite
household remedy is humbug.
Peruna goes right on in its conquest
