the fact that the great majority of bacteria

SAN FRANCISCO EXPLOSION
Attempt to Prove Dynamite Did Not

VIDENCE READ BY BARROW
Long Story Intended to Prove Con-
spiracy Existed Against the
Western Federation.

BOISE, July S.-The entire morning ses-
sion of the Haywood trial today was taken
up by the reading OF testimony offered by
the defense on the subject of the explosion
at the house of Fred Bradley, in Washing
ton street, San Francisco. in 1905. The tes-
timony was taken by a commission appoint
ed by Judge Wood, who is presiding at the
present trial. and is intended to contradict
Harry Orchards story as to the placing of
a bomb on the front porch of the Bradley
house as a part of the conspiracy alleged
against the Western Federation of Miners,
and of which the state asserts that the.
Steunenberg murder was incident
The defense during the stay of the COM
mission in San Francisco secured the testi-
mony of Bradley himself and~several others,
expressing the belief that the explosion was
due to gas, and declaring that the havoc
wrought by it was not caused by dynamite.
Orchard declared that the bomb arranged
by him to be exploded when the front door
was opened contained about ten pounds of
dynamite encased in a large section of lead
pipe.
The reading of the testimony, which was
taken in question and answer form, was be-
gun Immediately after the converting Of
court at 10 o'clock. Attorney Clarence
barrow undertook the long task. and seated
himself in the high witness chair facing
the jury.
Gas Company Gave Up.
The attorney read first the testimony of
Walter H. Linforth, the owner of the apart
ment house in which Bradley lived. Lin
forth sued the gas company just after the
explosion, and was awarded $4,000 dam
ages With the Orchard confession as a
basis. the gas company is seeking a new
trial.

Gcntleness.

The strength of God is very gentle.
He does not make great noise in
lifting the tides or in speeding the
stars in their courses. The sunshine
is one of His greatest treasures OF
power. He turns the hearts of stall
wart sinners by the touch OF infant
fingers or by the memory Of a pious
mothers spiritual beauty and fidelity
BY loving invitations. tender encour-
agements and manifold ministries OF
patience and sympathy. He encour-
ages the penitence and the faith OF
sinful and weak human hearts. His
children should seek more of His gen.
tleness. We are too easily tempted
TO bluster and violence. We forget
that gentleness Is greatness as we'll as
goodness. IL We would do brave
deeds. let us seek to be filled with
divine gentleness.-Northern Chris
