BOISE, Idaho, June 5.--Alfred
Horsley, alias Harry Orchard, the
actual assassin Of Frank Steunenberg,
went on the stand today as a witness
against William D. Haywood and
made public the confession of long
series of crimes done, he said. at the
inspiration and for the pay of the
leaders of the Western Federation of
Miners.
An undertaking by the special pros
ecutors for the state that they would
by later proof and connection legiti-
mize his testimony opened the way
like f1oodgate to the whole story
and throughout the entire day Orchard
went on from crime recital to crime
recital.
Orchard confessed that as a MEM

Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill in the
Coeur D'Alenes he lighted one of the
fuses that carried fire to the giant
explosion. confessed that he set the
death trap in the Vindicator mine at

And he has more crimes to tell about
that will bring his career down to its

The story was told to tense nerved,

sickened and weary of it's disgusting
details long before James H. Hawley,
pleading illness of himself at o'clock
in the afternoon, secured adjournment
for the day. Orchard retained control

Artist
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 5.-Madame LII
lian Nordica announces that she will
establish on the Hudson, near New
York, Bayreuth in America. With
part of her great fortune the noted
singer will erect the Lillian Nordica
festival house, which will be to this
country what the famous operatic in
stitution founded by Richard Wagner
and now maintained by his widow is
| to Europe.
| The site was purchased yesterday
for 100000, and Madame Nordica ex-
poets that the opera house will be
ready for its formal dedication one
year from next summer.
An American institute of music,
where American young men and women
who aspire to operate honors will be
taught by the foremost teachers in
the world, is included in the plans of
the famous singer. In a statement in
which she announced her plans Madame
Nordica said:
"Cal my object philanthropic or
what you may but the idea of founding
here in my own country an American
Bayreuth has been my life's ambition.
All the years 1 have been singing 1
have dreamed of such an institution.
Now 1 am able financially to start
this great project which 1 know will
be an institution which after I am
dead will continue to grow and en-
tighten the people of this country who
are now awakening to the benefits to
be derived from a musical education
such as was not dreamed of ten years
ago.
"In this plan of mine 1 am assured
of the hearty cooperation of men and
women Of wealth. The latter years of
my life 1 hope to give entirely to seeing
this great institution grow until it can
have no rival.
1.-THE buildings that will e part of
the American institute of music alone
will cover four acres. They will be
erected close to the Lillian Nordica
festival house. In connection with the
institute there will be dormitories and
houses where the students at little
expense will be able to live while
pursuing their musical studies.

SEND DYNAMITE

Police and Detectives in San Francisco
Trying to Solve the Mystery of
the Shipment of Ex-
,pIosive
By Associated Press.

by ASSOCldCeu HTeSS.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.-The al
legged attempt to deliver today another
package supposed to contain dynamite
added to the perplexity of the police
and the detectives of Wells, Fargo &
Co.'S express, who are at work endeav-
sent package of seven sticks of this
dangerous explosive by express from
San Mateo to two striking car men in
this city named Glynn.
1t was repored to the police today
that two unidentified men drove to
the home of John Mcdonald, a striking
car man, living at 1904 Grove street,
and offered Mrs. Mcdonald a bundle
tightly wrapped and secured with
heavy cord, which she refused to take.
The men stated that the package was
from San Mateo.
Mcdonald is one of the men who was
arrested a few days ago and accused
by the United Railroads of short-cir-
cutting the transmission wires in the
Mission district. Mcdonald claims that
he was warned that package of dyna-
mite would be sent to him and warned
his wife not to receipt for any pack
ages. Capt. Colby of the detective bu-
reau has several detectives working on
the case.
The delivery of the dynamite to the
Glynn brothers has caused storm of
conflicting statements and counter ac-
cusations. The leaders of the car men
charge the United Railroads with
Matching the alleged plot; the Wells,
Fargo company accuses an individual
unidentified as yet as the shipper of
the package from San Mateo; the Unit
ed Railroads in turn accuse the car
men of importing the explosive to de-
stroy property, and Capt. Seymour of
the express cOmpany's secret service
declares that the company will spare
no money or effort to run down the
shipper of the dynamite, asserting that
had 1t been dropped in transit or at
the ferry building many people might
have been killed by the explosion.

Honolulu, T. h, May Is. 1907.

Honolulu, T. H, May 10, 1871.
Editor Advertiser: Permit me t
submit the following, relating TO IN
small farmer and Bishop Restarick'
view of him. The bishop lays particu
lar stress upon truth as it appiies u
information given out regarding loca
conditions. He will readily accede tina
he may think a thing true and yet bt
Tnisinformed and thus his utterances
be utterly untrue and coming from
him be most mischievous.
I know little of the specific cases he
snumerates except the one relating to
Wahiawa and it seems to me that the
bishop is misinformed regarding this
settlement He says, the small far
nner is gone, that a corporation has
taken his place. The bishop is GER
tainly quite mistaken as there are to-
day probably as many separate hold
ings as were originally filed. True
some of the pioneers are gone, but
others, perhaps more energetic, have
taken their places. To specify, I will
enumerate the separate holdings at the
upper end of the colony. giving the ap-
proximate number of acres to each
farm. Mccormick. rs acres; Stocks, q
acres; Hopper, % acres; Culman, %
acres; Gibson, 25 acres. Here we have
i've separate holdings within an area
1setr <11l
the United States public that the Wa
hiawa small farmer is gone. Adjoin-
ing these enumerated holdings is farm
after farm with which I am not suffi-
GENTLY acquainted to give detailed in
formation. but I know that they give
sustenance to approximately an equal
Wahiawa. Concentration is the trend
of all Industrial enterprises, including
Hawaiian agriculture, but it does not
apply especially to Wahiawa, although
its force is felt there, as elsewhere.
It may be contended that the above
named persons are conducting the
farm as side issue. Some of them
are, but as most profitable side issue.
Stocks is a typical farmer. Strong of
body and mind; alert and ready for
work and does perhaps as much work
as any two Cinnamon in Wahiawa and
the result is that he has built up in
four years a competence which very
few American farmers ever attain. Nc
Cormick is a small man, weighing
scarce a hundred pounds, a city prod
act, but he labOrs assiduously in the
Held and in ten years he has improved
qnaided and with no capital a property
which the bishop would be surprised to
