Boise. Idaho. June 17.-In support of
its case against Haywood the state
Saturday submitted to the jury the
testimony of dozen Witnesses tend
ing to confirm several details of the
story of Harry Orchard, and at adj
Journment announced that it would
close its case this week.
Among Saturdays witnesses were
former Governor Peabody and his
daughter Miss Cora Peabody, out
neither was on the stand very long.
The prosecution succeeded il securing
the admission of much evidence bear
ing on points of Orchards tale. First
there was a showing that Steve Ad-
ans, stranded at ogden in June, 1909,
ON his way home from California,
where it is alleged that he went to Kill
Fred Bradley, sent telegram to Hay
wood at Denver for money. Next it
showed by original drafts on New
York banks, purchased at the First
National bank of Denver by Haywood
himself that money was frequently re-
mitted by Haywood to L. ]. Simpkins
a former member of the executive
board of the western federation of
miners who as Simpkins came to Den
yer with Orchard and assisted in the
first attempt to kill Steunenberg.
Next the state completed the legal
history of the Peabody bomb, following
by showing that it was dug out of the
ice in the Couer d'Alene river theL
that it was brought to Boise and TAX
en- on to Denver, and lastly by identity
ing its casing in court by the plumb
er who made it. The Peabody fam
lily was present during this testimony
and watched the bomb cover every mo
ment it was displayed before the wit
ness stand.
Then the state once more took up
the general thread of Orchards story
and successfully offered the testimony
of Miss Peabody to the incident relat-
ed by Orchard. where he and Steve
Adams followed the Peabody carriage
home, the evidence of Governor Pea
body that he had seen Orchard in
Canyon City. the testimony showing
that at various times in 1905 Haywood.
Pettibone and orchard were seen to-
gether and lastly proof that Steve Ad-
ANS was at Pocatello in September
presumably to meet and throw the
"Pettibone dope" at 3 car load Of ncn.
Union miners. The court adjourned
until Tuesday

WISCONSIN LAW MAKERS

Madison, June 10.-The bill to retire
with full salary a justice of the SUI
preme court 20 years old after con-
tinuOus service of 20 years was I'd
vanced in the senate. This bill would
authorize the retirement of Chief JUS
tice Cassidy. Three bills affecting
the state historical library were
passed upon. The bill to appropriate
some 100000 for the completion of
the building by the construction of the
north wing was killed, although that
wing is urgently needed. 1t is under
stood that this need will be cared for
by the next legislature. The Husting
two-cent passenger fare gill was on
the calendar for indefinite postpone
ment, but was laid over. The same
action was had on the bill to cut one
third oft the present rates of express
companies. Senator Whitehead's bill
to appropriate 100000 for the cree
ton of hospital for the criminal and
violent insane was killed The rear
son bill to require the payment of
highway taxes in money instead Of
work was passed.
The Thompson resolution favoring
state insurance was on the assembly
calendar slated for indefinite postpone
ment on motion of G. E. Scott, chair
man of the assembly committee on
banks and insurance the measure was
laid over for a week. A number of in
surance bills we're reported for pas
sage by the assembly committee on in

statements of amounts contributed to

the Hudnall bill to require the printing
of laws in pamphlet form instead of

inconvenience and Assemblyman
DurIey desired to have it laid over.
This was strenuously opposed by G. A.

ing the financial record of the "Ameri-
can" party is simply damnable, sto-
ry of financial misdeeds which stand
out against the clear sky of public
conscience and public opinion accus-
ing spectres pointing to the extrava-
gance and waste of two years of an
unbridled and unchecked plundering
of public funds, and that the city
treasury has been looted to make an
American" holiday of graft.
The Tribune and its party voters
tell of the improvements they have
made. Every building, every back
kitchen, every coal shed has been
built because of the american" par
ty. Every street that the city has
paved was paved by the american"
party. Every side walk has been laid
by them, every sewer built by them;
yet there were miles of paved streets
sidewalks and sewers before they
were ever heard of. They claim Gre
dit for paving of streets, sidewalks
and sewers that were completed
years before they carried the city.
The last republican administration
which went out of office four years
ago paved more streets than has the
American" administration. South
Temple and Second South to the de-
pots are more thar they have paved,
and besides the republicans paved
from State to Third East on Second
South; from West Temple to State on
Third South; through the Eagle Gate,
and har Brigham Street well under
way.
1t may be admitted that the
American" party has ordered more
sidewalks, but not much more, but not
all that was ordered and paid for
has been done.
But with the paving, which after
all the people pay for by special tax
not the administration, from the gen
eral fund comes the other question,
what about the sidewalk and sewer
improvements ordered, with the as,
sessments collected, and no work
done upon them? The city auditor,
more honest than the inner circle,
or his party, frankly wrote the coun-
Gil that the moneys which should be
in these special funds for improve
ments not completed were missing
and hence the demand of suffering
tax payers to have their money re-
funded could not be complied with.
The council led by such eminent re-
formers as Black, Davis, Holiday and
Martin instead of ordering an nvesti-
cation, as honest men would have
done, to find out where the money
was, Immediately, to save their own
hides, ordered the auditors COM
munication filed Every one of the
council coterie could be ndicted now
because of their handling of these
public funds.

American" Party Finances

I1lerarcn Tor the Tribune to deceive
the people upon the financial record
made by the Tribune's reform party
and elect the American" ticket.
Since then, good natured, hilarious.
loveable, cheerful "Bilr' Nelson has
been working double shift in his eff
forts to prove that white is black so
far as city finances are concerned.
In reading his articles one frequently
runs across the expressions, "of
course" 1T is assumed" it is assert
ed" etc.
The latest bald assertion is that the
present administration has not spent
within $4,000 of as much as did the
Morris administration. For a plain,
unvarnished, cheerful all around up
and down mistatement, this takes the
cake. 1t lacks every essential of truth,
so much so that one is compelled to
believe that Cheerful Bill' is losing
his cunning, and like Dickens Lon
don cat meat mans horse, he must
have been, when started upon his
editorial jaunt, strapped cup VERY
tight" and took Sin VERY Short" and
The must go on-he can't help it."
To assert, and gravely print day
by day, table, that Morris spent
$4,000 more than the "Americans''
in the face of the record, that the
taxes and property valuations have
been greatly increased, is to practic-
ally say that the people are fools and
want to be humbugged. In one col
umn the Tribune prints statements
showing how little more taxes, as it
puts it, certain people it doesn't like
pay extra because of the increased
tax levy, while in another column it
makes the silly statement referred
to above. Every school boy old
enough to read the papers knows that
the Americans" collected and spent
several hundred thousand more dol
lars than any administration for the
last fifteen years.
Another equally absurd statement
is that the present administration has
saved 100000 per year in the street
department. This is so palpably un-
true that it seems scarcely worth re-
ferring to. No administration, I'M
less it be the present one, ever spent
100000 upon the streets, and how
could there be saving of 100000?
The people of Salt Lake City are
intelligent and it cannot be possible
they will continue to swallow the
doses of deception daily served up to
them by the Tribune. One day deny
ing that the tax levy was increased
the next day admitting it. One day
claiming all the prosperity that has
come to Salt Lake has come because
of the American" party, when in fact
it commenced with McKinley's first
administration, and has kept up in
greater volume each year since in
unison and in keeping with the whole
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1907-11-02

TRUTH

are apart. Any assertion however
remote from the truth will answer
their purpose, all struggling with
might and main to confuse the voters
as to the truth and hold them to-
gether until election day.
The voters are regaled with the
old stale story that the americans"
inherited debt of $4,000 from the
Morris administration. Of course
they did. The same thing happens
with every change of administration.
The city's expenses were never less
than $4,000 per month, and before
the December bills can be audited
and paid, the new administration is
in and must rerforce pay them; but
the point concealed by the Tribune is
that there was money left in the
treasury to pay them with.
The plain facts are, The "Amerf-
can party has prevented its auditor
and treasurer from making the quar-.
terly statements required by law, and
has caused the Tribune to print gar
bled and arbitrary financial state
ments to conceal the true state of af-
fairs; false statements made out of
whole cloth.
The city is now over 100000 over
drawn and y: the present rate of ex-
penditure, when Jan. Ist rolls around,
the city will be fully $I75ooo in the
hole with every cent of this years
taxes ard income spent. In other
words, it will commence the new
year bankrupt, with ten months of
expense Immediately ahead of = be-
fore any more taxes can come in.
Does the tax payer believe there is
any bank in the city that will ad-
vance the money? The prospects are
more than hattering that should the
american" party succeed and con-
tinue its wild career of high grating
finance that the city's warrants will
before three months be selling at a
discount, and in six months will be
accepted by no one.
And this state of affairs has been
brought about with a continued in
crease in the city's revenue. The
last republican administration levied
9 mills taxes, upon valuation of pro-
perty about $36,ooo,ooo. The present
administration has levied 10 mills
upon valuation of $46,ooo,ooo, ali
increase in taxes of $274,ooo. All this
money has been spent and yet the
American" party organ and speakers
have the hardihood to assert day af-
ter day that they have spent $4,000
less than previous administration
and saved 100000 in the street de-
partment alone. Can mendacity of
assumption go any farther?
The voter who votes the "Ameri-
can" ticket does so with the full
knowledge:
1st. That his party has increased
