MCFARLAND had suggested or corrected
the manuscript. He admitted that he had
read the manuscript many times and that
it was practically the same as the mar

direct examination and which he is elab-
Grating under The fire of Cross-examina
ton by Attorney Richardson.
Facts Being Brought Out.
The cross-examination of Orchard IS
bringing out a mass of detail that will
again be taken up in the redirect. 1t
would appear even as if the prosecution
had purpOSely merely sketched through
the story of Orchards life in order to
allow the defense to bring out certain
features. This is instanCed in the con-
nection of Orchard and Meyer. the presi-
dent of the organization of which Hay
wood is the secretary. Also the intimacy
between Orchard and Pettibone. the third
of the prisoners charged with the same
crime under the same Indictment. That
this connection will be brought out is
very clear and that the selection of Or
chard as the 5odyguard to Mover at a
critical time when both of them Travelled
with sawed off pump guns and revolvers
must be explained is admitted.

It was the first time in years that an

Washington. June 9.-That the Japanese
of the Pacific coast and the progressives

into an alliance which has the earmarks
of an international conspiracy, with the
overthrow of the present ministry in ia
the immigration bill excluding Japanese
coolie labor from continental United
States as the ultimate objects, was learned
authOritatively here today. The prelimin-
airy steps in this scheme, it is said, will
be to induce the Toxic government to re-
call Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambas-
sador to the United States, and TO de-
mand apology and perhaps an indem-
nifty from this government for the al
legged acts of violence against Japanese
subjects residing in San Francisco.
With this end in view, representatives
of the faction hostile to the SaOnji min
istry have been in Washington to contult
with the japanese ambassador and the
state department officials regarding the
Objectionable clause in the immigre lion
bill, the California school question and
the recent riots in San Francisco The
report which they have sent to ToE'0. it
is alleged will form the basis of sys-

ORGANIZED FARM HANDS.

The so-called Farmers Co-opera-
| tive Union" which has its branches
all over the United States, has pro-
| duced legitimate results in Washing
| ton, where farm and orchard laborers
| in the Big Bend and Palouse wheat
belts are organizing unions to combat
an anticipated movement by the
Farmers cooperative Union of the
United States. which has branches in
Washington, TO regulate wages during
the summer and fall. Laborers are
board and there is an unusual demand
for men because of the many irrigated
districts opening. SO far the farmers
union has made no attempt to regulate
wages and there is no definite informa-
ton at hand that such move is con-
templated, but the men at the head of
the labor movement say they will take
no chances.

PLANT TREES.

If you want to make an investment
that will yield absolutely sure returns
plant trees. The schools, the govern
ors the president have been urging
upon the nation, the. need and the. wis
dom of planting trees. But the lumber
dealer has done more to accelerate tree
planting, than the poets. The singer
exclaimed. "Woodman, spare that tree. y
But that did not save the tree By and
by the price of lumber went sky high
the railroads had to pay extravagent
prices for ties, and the telegraph and
telephone companies found that the
price of poles was soaring and was be-
coming a very important item. And
then, the people began to give heed to
the poet.
.Again, 1t Is the railroad company,
which is setting others a good example
in this regard. AS before, they will go
into the market for ties, as long
as such can be had. Methods of
treating Inferior wood are being tried,
all sorts of ties made out of other sub
stances are being experimental with.
But the wooden tie, for the present is

the Santa Fe railroad Is setting out
Eucalyptus trees at the rate of 1000
acres per- annum. Within dozen
years, this company will have a pretty
fair sized Eucalyptus plantation. And
it is estimated that within seven or
eight years the trees will be large
enough to convert into ties, each tree
yielding from three to four ties. The
Toledo, Peoria and Western road in
Illinois, is using her right Of way for
the same purpose, and in one Illinois
county, thousands Of Eucalyptus trees
one year old, have been set out along
the companys right Of way. There the
track men can give the young trees
such attention as they may need.
There are few land owners in town,
or in the rural districts, who have not
room for a few trees somewhere.
There is much land, that is not fitted
for agricultural purposes that might
be made very profitable by planting
trees upon it. Ere many years have
passed, Iowa will be coming to the
front In this as in many other respects,
and she will have her professors, like
Holden, who will instruct her land own
ers in the best uses to which their
land can be put, and will show them
that the wood lot can be made as
profitable as the corn fields.

THE MAILS AND THE BUNK0 MAN.

George B. Cortelyou, in an article
prepared before his change from the
'postoffice to the treasury, tells some
what of the troubles, successes and
failures of the department in its eff
forts to prevent swindling thru the
medium OF the United States mail
when suspicion is directed OH good and
sufficient grounds against any firm
using the mails to send and receive
goods or money, or to solicit business,
the postmaster general issues fraud
order which prevents further deliv-
cry of mail to the parties under sus-.
.picion. If the investigation clears
it the order Is removed. If not, the
mail is returned to the sender marked
fraudulent and the grafters are PROS
ecuted. Since the enactment of the
law under which the department acts
in these cases, in 1S90-95. over 2,400
fraud orders have been issued by the
department, but In less than thirty
cases has the propriety of the order
been challenged, and in none has the
court held that it was erroneous or
tunwarranted In only two of the set4
tied cases were injunctions allowed
One of these was upon a technicality
as to whether there was definite find
ing OF the postmaster general that the !
business was actually in violation of
law; and the other was upon questions
of constitutionality, which have since
been fully settled by the supreme
court of the United States. SO that
the action Of the postoffice department
be said to have been upheld by the
courts.
Any recital of the various frauds
thru the mails is monograph on hui
man credulity. Thousands of women
sold thirty packages Of washing blue"
at 10 cents apiece for the "Reliable

to send Immediately a NEW automatic

TERMS:
THE DIRECTORS PLACE.

| If q dozen or SO Of bank directors
might be sent to Anafnosa and Fort
Madison under indeterminate SEN
fences, 1t is possible that some of the
sleeping dlrectorates would wake ur
and pay actual attention to their duties
as guardians of other peoples money.
In all the bank failures that have
shocked the state within the past three
or four years it does not appear that
any board Of directors attended in any
way to its duty or knew anything
about the state OF affairs until the
chimney fell on them. In the case at
Seymour where the cashier, now lu
natic appears to have loaned the bank
into a shortage estimated at over
5000 900, and where the books show
deposits of only $16O,000, what We're
the directors doing?
Not long ago one business man was
complaining to an acquaintance of the
butting-in proclivities of another bus
mess man who Is director In a corr
poration. The man complained of is a
successful man In his own line, other
wise he would not likely be a director
In the other company. This director
constantly butted in and wanted to
know. He was fertile of suggestion.
The complaint was that he had no
special knowledge OF the branch of
manufacturing carried OH by the COR
poration. The superintendent, who
knew and had successfully operated
factories OF this sort, ought not. it was
asserted. to be annoyed by the inter-
ference Of a director without technical
knowledge. He knew the business and
ought to run it.
That seems to be the prevalent idea
supposed to know the business, the d.
rectors to look wise and let them run
it, When the crash comes and the
bank that held the savings of the COM
munity goes to such absolute wreck
that it carries the depositors with it,
what Is the position Of this comp!acent
directorate before the public, the law
and the consciences of its members?
1t is up to the corporation director
who works with other peoples money
to satisfy himself in self protection
that the business is being properly
conducted. 1t is his only way to be
strictly honest and faithful to the trust
he assumes. The directors place is
inquisitive He should investigate and
suggest. 1t is probable that some day
We shall arrive at the conclusion that
the careless director is criminal enough
to fit penitentiary sentence.

NEW Law ON PUBLICATION.
MARBLE Rock JournaD


For the benefit of the press in towns
where the councils have failed to per-
form their duty we call the attention
of the editors to the new law for mu-
nicipal accounting which makes it the
duty of the chief accounting officers,
the clerk or auditor, of cities or towns,
to make this financial statement within
thirty days of the fiscal year and
which provides for penalty for a
failure to perform this duty. The PEN
atty attached to the new law is a
misdemeanor, and can be punished by
fine not exceeding $500 or one year
in the county jail, or both, at the dis
erection of the court. Publicity is the
safeguard of the tax payers and we
hope that the editors in cities and
towns where the law has been a dead
letter will see that the new law is
complied with One or two examples
of negligent officials will soon bring
the publication Of the official state
mert into general practice. Our advice
is to enforce the law. It will stop
grating in large cities and will not de-.
teriorate the service of councilmen in
smaller towns.
