Says Japanese Are Trampine on

The Hague.-While the work of the
peace conference amounted to almost
nothing on Saturday, considerable in
terest was aroused by a protest which
Korean delegation sent to all the
delegates.
The protest says that the Koreans
regret that they were not invited to
the conference because the Japanese
were violating their rights and tramp
ling on international law. which de-
prived them of their national indie
pendence, even resorting to violence
It adds that the Korean emperor gave
them full powers which they would
put at the disposal of the delegates to
he conference, asking their interven-
ion for admission to the conference
They wished. the protest says. to de-
end their rights and expose the
Japanese methods.

the young Russian stenographer who
left the employ of the Pinkerton agen-
cy at Denver to write book in which
he published certain correspondence
of the agency that passed through his
hands, was again on Monday the prin-
cipal figure at the Steunenberg murder
trial. More than half of the courts
day was occupied in reading to the
jury copies of the documents which
Friedman took from the Pinkerton rec
ords. These were chiefly the daily re-
ports of secret agents and union men
at Cripple Creek, Victor, Globeville,
Colorado City, Trinidad and Denver,
and showed complete surveillance
of the Western Federation of Miners
and the United Mine Workers of
during the labor troubles in
Colorado in 1903-1904. Pinkerton men

stroyed the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mill in 1899, inspired, as the agent
OF Haywood and Meyer, the vinli-
Gator explosion and the train wreck
ing plot at Cripple Creek, and was
an accomplice in the Independence
station crime.
On direct examination by Clarence
barrow he went over the story of his
working life. including the pathetic
story OF the death of his wife and
babe at Cripple Creek, at which he
wept, and made positive denial of
every statement of Orchard that In |
volved him or his associates in any |
form of crime. He claimed that lie |
was not even member of the union
when the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mine was blown up and at the con
clusion OF his general story swore
that at Cripple Creek during the
strike Orchard told him of the Her
cules mine affair and threatened to
kill Steunenberg.
Mrs. Lottie Day of Denver testified
that in 1904 Orchard told her about
the loss OF the Hercules interest, and ,
with 1t the chance to support the i.
only woman he ever really loved" /,
and that he said he would kill Steun-
'nberg for the wrong done him. and
John d. Elliott, an old soldier swore !.
hat Orchard told him on a train in

ederation and its leaders. Cross :,
