less of the great hold which it is pre-
stunned he had on the federation lead
ers, was frequently without funds, the
defense showed that from late in 1908
until 1904 Orchard continually drew
strike relief at Cripple Creek, and then
dramatically invited Orchard to eK-
plain the Inconsistency TO the jury.
Orchard replied that Haywood, Meyer,
Parker and Davis all advised him 10
continue drawing relief. because if he
displayed money he would excite sus-
Dicion.
The examination next covered a re-
view Of the earlier attempt on the life
of Governor Pea body and the making
of the bombs to kill him, and the plots
against Judges Gabhert and Goddard,
with an effort everywhere to tighten
the witness. Orchard told a dramatic
story of the first attempt to assassinate
PeabOdy--an early morning drive
through the snow to place the bomb
and an expected wait for the victim,
who was spared by the unexpected APP
pearance of two coal wagons that, COM
ing from an alleyway, We're driven
across the trigger string at the moment
that Peabody was crossing the trigger.
Mrs. Adams Brought On.
Orchard brought Mrs. Steve Adams
into play today. He said that while he
and Adams were watching Judge God
dard's house Mrs. Adams went with
them a couple of times as blind to di-
vert suspicion from them. Mrs. Adams,
who had a seat among the witnesses,
laughed when Orchard told the incl
dent.
Orchard. who cOnfesses that he heSi-
tated at no crime and took a hundred
desperate chances in those he commit
ted, made an interesting contribution to
the psychological study of his person
ality when he called himself a coward.
He said he was too cOWaIdly to openly
kill Judge Gabbert; said that he re-
garded all of his acts as c0wardly,
In five minutes today Orchard showed
more emotion than at any time since
he began his testimony. 1t was when
the defense, in a rough-shod depression,
asked him if he had not deserted his
Cripple Creek wife, stripping her OF
every nickel she had. and leaving her
in poverty that compelled the sale of
her washtubs to buy bread. Orchards
lips quivered, and with tears near he
falteringly denied that he had done so,
and said that the federation leaders had
promised to care for her in his absence.

street-within half a block of the Brad
ley home.
Orchard said it was after he had seen
the milk delivered to the Bradley back
door several mornings in succession
that he conceived the idea of poisoning
his victim rather than to employ a
bomb.
With the failure of the milk plot, he
went ahead and manufactured the
bomb. first buying a piece OF five-inch
lead pipe, fourteen inches long. Or
chard said he bought the pipe in a
plumbing shop on Taylor street some
where in the 200 block
Richardson wanted to know if Detec-
tive MCFARLAND had attempted to trace
the San Francisco localities for the
witness.
"All / know is that he investigated
the powder and dynamite purchase. He
brought me list of the sales of the
Judson Powder company and asked if

Don't you know there was but one

Schmitz on the Stand.

Former Judge Campbell, senior coun-
sci for the defense, called Mayor
Schmitz to testify i'm his own behalf
as the second witness of the day. The
mayor mounted the witness stage
shortly before II o'clock. and occupied
t for more than an hour. during a con-
siderable portion of which time OppOs-
ing counsel were wrangling over the
right of the prosecution to ask the
mayor, in the course of crOss-exam-

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON
 ORGANIZED LABOR
From Putnam's Monthly.

Labor has its sacred rights as well as its dignity. Paramount among the rights of the laboring classes is their privilege to organize, or to form themselves into societies for their mutual protection and benefit. It is in accordance with natural right that those who have one common inter est should unite together for it's pro- motion, writes Cardinal Gibbons in the October Putnam's Monthly.
 Throughout the United States and Great Britain there is to-day a con tinuous network of syndicates and trusts, of companies and partner ships, so that every operation from the construction of a leviathan steam ship to the manufacture of a needle is controlled by corporation. When corporations thus combine. 1t is quite natural that mechanics and laborers, should follow their example. It should be as unjust to deny the work ing men the right tO band together. because of the abuses incident to- such combinations as to withhold the same right from capitalists. be- cause they sometimes unwarrantably seek to crush or absorb weaker rivals.
 God forbid that the prerogatives which am maintaining for the work ing classes should be construed as implying the slightest invasion of the rights and autonomy of employers
 There should not. and need not. be any conflict between capital and la boT. since both are necessary for the public good. and one depends on the cooperation of the other. 4 con- test between the employer and the employed is as unreasonable and as hurtful 10 the social body as a war between the head and hands would be to the physical body. Whoever strives to improve the friendly re- latiOns between the pTopTietors and the labor unions. by suggesting the effeCtual means of diminishing and even removing the causes of dfscOn- tent, is a benefactoT tO the COmmun- ity. With this sole end in view | venture to touch this most delicate subject. and if these lines contribute tO some small measure to strengthen the bond of union between the en- terprising men of capital and the sons of tOil. shall be amply reward ed.
 But if labor organizations have rights to be vindieated and griev- ances to De redTessed. it is manifest that they have also sacred obligations to be fulfilled and dangers tO guard against As these societies are com posed of members very formidable in numbers. varied in character. temper sment and nationality. they are. in the nature of things. more unwieldIy. ! more diEcult to manage more liable to disintegration than corporations of capitalists. and they have need Of leaders possessed of great hTmness. tact and superior executive ability. who will honestly aim at consulting the welfare Of the sosfetv they repre- sent without infringing oa the rights Of their employers Thev should ex-N ercfse uncsasing vigilance in securing their bodF from the control of design :.

establishment with which he wishes to deal, and in purchasing from one in preference to another he is not vio- lating justice. But the case is alter ed when by a mandate of the society he is debarred from buying from a particular firm. Such a proposition assails the liberty of the purchaser and the rights of the seller, and is an unwarrantable invasion of the commercial privilege guaranteed by 1 the government to business concerns. If such social ostracism were gener- ally in vogue, process of retaliation would naturally follow, the current of mercantile intercourse would be checked, every center of population would be divided into hostile camps, and the good footing which ought to prevail in every community would be seriously impaired, Live and let live" is a wise maxim, dictated alike by the law of trade and by christian charity.
 Experience has shown that strikes questionable remedy for the redress of the laborers' grievances. They paralyze industry, they Gften foment fierce passions, and lead to destruc- tion of property; and above all they result in inflicting grievous injury on the laborer himself by keeping him in enforced idleness, during which time his mind is clouded by discon- tent while breeding over his situation and his family not infrequently suffer from the want of the necessaries of life. The loss inflicted by strikes on the employers is not much more than half as great as that which is sus- tained by the employed, who can much less afford to bear it. It would be a vast stride in the interests of peace, and of the laboring classes, if the policy of arbitration which is now gaining favor for the settlement of international quarrels, were also availed of for the adjustment of dis putes between capital and labor. Many blessings would result from the adoption of this method: for, while strikes. as the name implies, are ag- gressive and destructive, arbitration is concilatory and constructive. The result in the former case ss determin- ed by the weight of the purse. in the latter by the weightof the argument

 take for granted that all un- ions and other societies of American laboring men are disposed to array themselves on the side of peace and order and are as strongly opposed to violations of the law as other citi- zens. Hence they should exert their influence to see that the laws are up- held if they would maintain the re- spect with which they are regarded by their fellows.

IT BLEW HIM UP.
A Jersey Justice Receives a
Package by Express.
When He Opened It an Ex-
pIosiOn Followed.

Paterson, Feb. 9.-Justice of the
Peace Robert Cortez was fatally in
jured in his office last night by the eX-
plosion of an internal machine sent
him by express. The office was wreck
ed and the defamation could be heard
for blocks.
The judge has actively aided the po-
lice in the capture of italian lawbreak-
ers recently.
Justice Cortez died at midnight from
his injuries. He had been home to
supper leaving his son Robert in
charge of the office. 1t was the young
er man who had received the Internal
machine, which came from Newark
and was delivered by an American ex-
press wagon. 1t had been prepaid and
the boy accepted it.
When Judge Cortez reached the Of
flee Robert handed the package to
him. The outside wrapper was of pa
per, tied with strong twine- Judge Cor
tez removed the paper. Inside was an
other wrapping made fast with strap
such as boys use to put around school
books. Robert says he watched Gu
riously to see what the little box con-
tanned.
His father rested the package on the
desk and pulled the end of the strap
toward him. so as to loosen the tongue
of the buckle. The moment he did so
there was an explosion.
A hole six feet square was torn in
the floor. and the desk was driven
down into the cellar and torn to
pieces. The boy was hurled into a
corner and seriously bruised and
burned.
Judge Cortez was found lying be-
tween the doorway and the hole in the
flooring. Both legs and both arms were
broken. his face and body were torn
and lacerated and his back apparently
broken. Some of the flesh was torn
from the bones. He was removed to
St. Joseph's hospital. where his ante
mortem statement was taken.
Judge Cortez had been a justice for
twelve years. He was shortly to be
specially appointed a sergeant of de-
tectives in recognition of his active
work as a detective in aiding the police
in running Italian and other criminals
down.
Only a short time ago he tracked "a
foreigner who had robbed his father
of $1,000 and caught him in Penn
sylvania town He brought him back
here and the man was sent to state
prison for fifteen years. Two others
were concerned in the robbery. but
had not been located. Cortez had a
wife and eight children.
From the fact that the greatest
force of the explosion was directed
downward it is believed the Internal
machine was filled with dynamite. Not
trace of the machine has been found.
Another case which the police think
may have some bearing on the affair
is that a we'll to do foreigner who was
found dead under mysterious circum-
stances couple of weeks ago. Cortez
aided the authorities in investigating
that affair." 1t is believed the sender of
the machine sought revenge on the
Justice as a result of the latter's activ-

Lawrence Postoffice Appointee Not
- Yet Announced, However.

Washington. Feb. e.-Congressman
Bowersock has made up his mind on
the Lawrence postoffice and filed his
recommendation with the department,
but he will not say who the successful
man is. The appointee will not be Paul
Dinsmoor. Bowersock's son-in-law, and
George Barker's stepson, and it is said
on reliable information that Dinsmoor
has not even been considered. Neither
will the appointee by G. c. Collins, the
old soldier, now here with petitions and
letters urging his consideration.
1t was expected the appoin tment
would be made today but there will be
no nominations from the White House
until Monday so it is announced.
The Ottawa appointment, much con-
troverted, where Senator Benson favor
ed w. L. Parkinson and Scott and
Bowersock favored Waring, also will go
in Monday with Lawrence, it is as
sured. Mr.. Bowersock is most retieent
and unconfiding on both these cases.
