Wine cnne Settled.

Joseph T. Hartman, the teamster, who since his arrest a week ago for the theft of a cask of sherry wine from the Starln company has caused the arr rest of two other teamsters by accus- ing them of being pals was alone found guilty by Judge Mathewson in the po- lice court yesterday and gwen 60 days in jail with $25 fine. Bernard Brady the congressman first implicated by Hartman, was exonerated from all con- nection with the theft and Thomas Hackett the other teamster was also found not guilty and discharged.
 Judge Mathewson remarked later that Brady had an honest face that lacked all suspicion of theft.
 While the evidence showed that both Brady and Hackett had carted the stolen cask of wine it was proven that they were hired to do so by Hartman and did not know of the theft
 The cask was consigned to Edward F, Hall & Son. State street grocers. After being stolen it was carted and hidden in several saloons about town.

TIME WASTED IN QUARRELS DONOVAN'S RESPECTS. Senator Walsh Says He Has No Desire to Get Down
 Where He Does
 Not Belong.

Hartford, June 26.-The debate be- tween Senators Walsh and Donovan, of a personal character, which started last week, when the former attacked the latter, was renewed to-day by a sharp attack on Senator Walsh by his opponent The latter quoted first from a newspaper in which the charge was made that Donovan had made slander- ous statement, the paragraph being That Senator Walsh rose to protest against the slanderous statements made by the senator from the Twenty sixth . Senator Donovan then asked Senator Blakeslee if he considered the state- ment he had made was slanderous, and the latter replied he did. Senator Dom ovan said:
 Never have I, as member of the general assembly, slandered a member, and there has been no single instance of my saying anything that was not a fact" Then he commended Senator Walsh on reporting the sheriffs salary bill, but scored him for increasing the amount of the salary of the sheriff of Fairfield county from $5,00O to s5,500 outside of committee meetings. He said this was done either in ignorance of the law or through incompetency. He said that criticism was always jus- tifiable, and he would state again that in not a single measure had Senator Walsh interested himself in the inter- est of the public, and the journal bore out the statement
 Senator Walsh said: 1T am satisfied that when the senator read the news papers and found that he himself had been lashed something would occur. It was more satisfactory to him to see in print the account of his criticism of others, but now 1t was different. He has gone and abused the whole senate, but l have not taken up the time to de- fend myself and the other senators, as l did not want to get to the level where I did not belong"
 l He then referred to the attack by Senator Donovan on Senator Thomp- son regarding the East Haven and l Morris Cove committee vote, and said he had waited patiently for an apology, but it was not forthcoming. Senator Walsh said it was a physical condition with Senator Donovan, and he thought that when the senator woke up in the morning he probably felt sorry.
 Senator Donovan started to reply, when Senator Thompson called for the order of the day, which was the foot of the calendar.

DAVIS DENIES ORCHARDS STORY Says He Was Not Member of Miners Union When the Mines Were
 Blown Up. STATES WITNESS
 MADE THREATS. Several Witnesses Testify That Orchard Said He Would Kill Steun-
 enberg.

Boise, Idaho, June 26.-Willlam F. Davis, one of the most important wit nesses for the defense of William D. Haywood, accused of the murder of Frank Steunenberg, was called to the stand at noon to-day, and his cross examination had not been completed when court adjourned this evening. Harry Orchard testified that Davis led and commanded the mob that destroy ed the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill in 1899, inspired, as the agent of Hay wood and Mover, the Vindicator ex- posion and the train wrecking plot at Cripple Creek, and was an accompllce in the Independence station crime.
 On direct examination by Clarence Darrow, Davis went over the story of his working life and made positive de- niai of every statement of Orchard that involved him or his associations in any form of crime. Davis denied that he was even member of the union when the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine was blown up. At the conclusion of his general story, Davis swore that at Cripple Creek during the strike Orch ard told him of the Hercules mine af-
 fair and threatened to kill Steunenberg.
 The cross examination of Davis by Senator Borah was severe and search ing. It was chiefly devoted to the Bunker Hill and Sullivan affair and the circumstances under which Orch
 ard made the threat against Steunen-
 berg.
 Mrs. Lottie Day of Denver testified that in 1904 Orchard told her about
 the loss of his interest in the Hercules
 mine and that he said he would kill Steunenberg for the wrong done him. John D. Elliott, an old soldier, swore that Orchard told him on a train in Idaho in the fall of 1905 that Orchard was in the employment of the mine owners, and that there was a plot against the federation and its leaders l Cross examination showed that Elliott had twice been in an insane asylum with q mind unbalanced with family | troubles,
 John O'Neill, editor of the Miners l Magazine was the only other witness during the day. He testified that Or chard came to his office early in 1905, | and asked for the addresses of Govern 1 or Peabody and General sherman Bell who, he said, should be bumped off D l ONeill said that he referred Orchard tc city directory

early settled down for a quiet night,
 the work of preparation all ended and
 all in readiness for the crucial mo-
 ments of the actual measurement of
 skill and endurance, In the Yale camp
 everything Indicated, and every one
 felt, supreme confidence in the out
 come of all the events. There were
 good many visitors but only the most
 prominent of them stayed in quarters.
 All the crews had light work to-day,
 and took much interest in the two
 races in the late afternoon, and the re- suits which were against the blue, were
 taken good naturedly.
 In the Harvard quarters there was not the bouyance of feeling that there
 has been. but the loss of Gordon Glass has not caused depression. The men simply realize that the proposition of defeating Yale appears in little diff erent light The Varsity and freshman eights went out Together twice, and ped along smoothly, the varsity eight going full vas well as with Glass in it. The men in this boat are determined to fight hard to win. Many Harvard , men were visitors at camp during the day, and all seemed a little erestfallen at the news about Glass until they saw how we'll the crew pulled together with Lunt in Glass place. Their spirits rose again, and the two wins of the
 minor crews were taken as favorable omens.
 The Harvard freshman four won from the Yale four in a mile race by three i quarters of a length. This was start i ed at o'clock from the one and half mile stake to the half mile flag.

DEFENSE IS CLOSED.
(continued from Flrst Page.l

Thaw. Attorney Daniel Harmon for the prosecution in reply gave the first public presentation of the side of the case from the Estes viewpoint In an impressive address he declared that Judge Loving had acted in haste in shooting down young Estes and before the tragedy he could have gotten all the facts and information about the buggy riding without going out of his way
 Continuing he said:
 "Is human life so cheap that you or l may be shot down on the mere state- ment of one individual? Judge Loving could have gone to the home of Mrs. Kidd, only block away, and where his daughter spent the night, and have found out the facts, as the relations of the two families were very intimate, The physician who made the examin- ation lived a block away from the scene of the shooting but he never con- suited him. It was charged that his daughter had been assaulted. He had ample opportunity of dispelling this opinion if he wanted to.
 And who knows, but that he did close his eyes to real facts. The very spot where the crime Is alleged to have been committed was in plain sight of Lovington. The remaining contents of the flask of whiskey alleged to have been drugged was given man at Lovington and it worked no Ill effects on him The buggy ride and what oc- cured on that ride was the source of all of the trouble. Is all the right on the case to be turned on the other side? The law is for the protection of the cit izen. A citizen of this commonwealth has been shot down. What had he done? Should the jury not be ac- quainted with this fact?'

WATCH COFFEE
And Watch It Carefully.

Any brain worker who depends on thought for his success in life, uses up energy, by brain work, varying amount of the delicate particles of phosphate of potash and albumen of which the brain and nerve centres are composed
 The fine, microscopic particles of phosphate of potash are found in quan- titles in the pores of the skin after the brain has been used actively. This must be replaced from food, or brain flag and nervous prostration set in.
 This breaking down of the little cells each day, from brain work alone is a. natural process, and the cells can read fly be rebuilt from the right sort of food, if the system is not interfered with by drugs, but if an increased amount of cells are broken down by the use of coffee, trouble then begins.
 Frequently 1t first shows in dyspepsia, lack of power of the bowels to operate properly, palpitation of the heart, or some other lack of vitality and healthy vIgor, There is but one thing for a sen- sible man or woman to do,-quit coffee absolutely. Hard to do," you say. Take up Postum Food Coffee, use it regularly, have it well made, so it tastes good, You will find well de- fined, unmistakable change in your health, and there's a reason for it.
 You have become free from the breaking down force of coffee, and on the other hand, you are taking pow erful, nourishing liquid food which quickly rebuilds the new cells. These are facts-profound facts, ready for any one to prove to their own satisfac- ton by actual use. Postum is used by brain workers all over the world. Don't t call 1t a "substitute" for coffee; leave out the coffee proposition altogether. Postum is a liquid food and a true food driuls. There's a Reason.
