Attorney DarroW for the Petit
bone Defense, Bitter in
His Attack.
ADMITS CANADIAN CRIMES.
WHEN ASKED IF HE HELD PER-
SONAL ENMITY AGAINST HIS
VICTIMS.

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 14-Clarence S.
DarrOw, the Chicago attorney who is
conducting the defense of George A.
PettibOne, had Harry Orchard, the
states chief witness, On the rack for
two hours and half today, endeavOr-
ing to discredit his testimony. The
cross examination was rigid, and Orch
ard was pictured as a monster. a muir
derer, bigamist. perjurer, gambler,
thief and incendiary. Darrow made
little attempt to make the witness
contradict himself
Only twice did he try to confuse
Orchard in regard 10 his testimony,
and each time he failed. Reading
from the testimony of the Haywood
trial, Darrow endeavored to make it
appear that the witness had changed
his statements. but Orchard forced his
questiOner to read more of his testi-
mony given before. showing that his
testimony had been the same at both
trials. Darrow laid particular empha-
sis on the fact that Orchard was a
criminal before he became acquainted
with Meyer. Haywood and Pettibone.
Orchard all but broke down when
Hawley asked him if he had any per-
sonal enmity against his victims. nam
ing them one by one, and in each case
he said that he had none. He was es-
pecially affected when asked concern
ing Mccormick and Beck at the Vim
dicator mine, of whom he said he
thought a great deal.
Soon after Mr.. Darrow began his
cross examination of Orchard he had
drawn out the fact that before leaving
Canada Orchard had burned cheese
factory 70. collect insurance and that
Orchard took away with him another
mans wife.

Not at all Probable That Next
Years Event Will Be Held
At That Place, Remaining in
The Glen.
ARGUED CHAUTAUQUA
INTEREST is ABATING
This Belief Is Not Generally
Prevalent, However and
Many Still Advocate HaW-
kins Site for Future Home.

Plans for establishing the Richmond
chautauqua at the Hawkins tract
worth of Glen Miller, have for the time
being been suspended After due
consideration of present conditions, 1t
was considered advisable by the pro
uoters of the chautauqua, to let the
proposition rest. Such action. there
fore, means that the chautauqua of
next year will convene in Glen Miller.
It is said by some that the promoters
Of the plan to hold the chautauqua at
Hawkins park. are not as enthusiastic
with the idea as year or two ago.
owing TO the fact that the attendance
was not as large last year as previous
ly, and that the number of campers
was considerably less. This is taken
by some as being evidence that the
chautauqua is not as popular as it was
few years ago, and few think that
there is unmistakable evidence that
the assembly is on the wane If such
is the case, the promoters do not care
ture. Whether the chautauqua is on
the decline as popular summer
amusement feature is a mooted ques-
ton among the directors, many believ-
ing that the smaller attendance of last
year was due to circumstances rather
than a lack of interest. and that the
decline of last year is not a permanent
one.
One of the promoters of the Hawk
ins project said today, that the pro-
ject had not been abandoned and
would in all probability be resumed
with renewed vigor in the spring. It
was also stated that local capitalists
were slow to give the project back
ing as it is the opinion of manv that
a chautauqua is very uncertain in
vestment and that its attendance is
very easily affected by any adverse
conditions.
The committee elected recently will
begin at once TO secure talent for the
program of next season. and it is stat
ed that an effort will be made to have
a much stronger program than that
Of last season.

1t Is Currently Reported That
Council Will Be Advised
Not To Sell to Other Cor
poration.
PEOPLE OF THE CITY
WANT INVESTIGATION.
Claimed That the Board Men,
bers, After Once Making Re-
port as to Condition, Would
Take Affront.

On reliable information, it can be
stated that the report of the special
council committee and the board OF
public works, in regard to the proposed
sale of the Municipal Lighting and
Power plant to the corporation which
controls the Richmond Light, Heat &
Power company, will be against the
sale of the plant. This report will be
made Monday evening at council meet
ing.
1t is also understood that the mem
bers of the board of public works have
opposed the acceptance of the PROPOSE
ton made by the Light, Heat e. Pow
er company to have, at its expense. the
condition of the municipal plant inyes
tigated by a corps of experts.
The reason the board opposes this
investigation. 1t is understood, is be
cause the members OF the board are
convinced that they know the true
condition of the plant and that such
an inve estigation wOuId be a mere
waste of time and a reflection upon
the men OF the board Of works. The
board takes the stand that the munich
pal plant is in flourishing condition
this fact being revealed by investiga
tions made by the board before and af
ter the recent improvements made al
the plant 1t insists that the plant is
a money-making investment on the
part of the citizens Of Richmond and
that it would be an unwise act TO sell
out 10 a competitor. so long as this
state of affairs exists.
1t will be pointed out to council
Monday night, that the board in
a report made to council the first oi
this year. the municipal plant was de
scribed as having all the business il
could care for Councils attention will
be called to the fact that this condi
ton srill exists

council will accept the report OF the
special committee and the board ot
public works. in which event the sec
ond effort made by the Light. Heat &

President of Great Savings In
stitution Was a Confidential
Advisor of Thousands of
New York Poor.
HE DIED WEDNESDAY AT
HIS HOME IN THAT CITY.
He Attended the Recent Ses-
sionS of Five Years Meet
ing in Richmond and Made
Many ACquaintanCes.

Friends of William II S. Wood il
Richmond, have learned of the great
bankers death in New York City, his
home Mr. Wood was prominent
figure in the New England Friends
Yearly Meeting, and was a constant at
tendant at the sessions of the Five
Years meeting when that body con
vened in Richmond a few months ago
He had many warm friends in this
city who will be grieved to learn of his
death. The New York World, in
speaking of the mans demise and his
business activities, says:
"William II. S. Wood, president OF
the Bowery Savings Bank, and financial
adviser of thousands of the east sides
poor. died on Wednesday night at his
home. No. IA East Fifty-sixth street
Mr.. Wood was sixty-nne years old
and the strain of the last two months
made noticeable inrOads on his
strength, leaving him an easy prey C1
pneumonia.
In 1863 Mr.. Wood became a partner
with his father in the publishing
house of William Wood & Co., to the
head of which he succeeded in 1868
Two of his three sons will continue tC
conduct the business of publishing
medical books. Mr. Wood became
trustee of the Bowery Savings bank iT
1872. served later as chairman Of it,
executive committee and in 1893 be
came its president.
No man in New York knew the
financial secrets of so many persons
as did William H. S. Wood Scarcely
a day found him away from his desk il
the bank, where he was accessible I,
every one of his 100000 depositOrs. His
kindness and patience invited the con
f1dence of men, women and children
and thousands profited by it. If they
withdrew large amounts they were ask
ed to see the president, and If they
promised to be victims of wild ca
speculation he usually dissuaded then
from throwing away their money
When they purposed to invest in rea
estate he approved. Under his guild

'Mr. Wood foresaw the financial
stringency many months ago, wher

vaults. He said then that prudent mel
were preparing to weather the storm.

All Details of the Governments
Requirements Have Been
Conformed to With Pleasing
Exactness by Butchers.
MUCH MEAT TO BE BARRED.
ACCORDING TO CITY ORDINANCE.
ALL MEATS SOLD IN THE CITY
WILL HAVE TO BEAR STAMP OF
GOVERNMENT APPROVAL.

BY the middle of next week. Rich
mond will at last experience in reality
government meat inspection, according
10 City Health Officer DIR. Charles S.
Bond. Word has been received from
the department at Washington, ID. c..
that the inspectors appointed by I'm
Gle Sam will arrive in the city the mid
die of the week and will at once as
sumo their duties. All of the require
ments of the goverr~-ont as to arrange
ments of the loc; htering places
have been met ana ere is little or no
possibility of any hitch arising. The
plans were thought to be completed
several weeks ago. but it was discover
ea that the Stolle and Holzapfel places
were not in accordance with the gov
ernments demands, consequently local
inspection could not be secured. but
since then both establishments have
met the requirements and everything
is now thought TO be in readiness for
the arrival of the inspectors.
One Office OF the government inspec-
tors will be located at the Stolle con-
Germ. where a room has been located
for the inspectors to keep their seals
and instruments of inspection and an
other room has been provided for the
clothing of butchers. Similar places
have been provided at the other plant.
With the assurance of meat inspsC-
ton. DR.. Bond is much elated and de-
clares that Richmond has won the
greatest single victory ever i'm it's his
tory for health and sanitary condi-
tions. and a state that but few other
cities in the country has acquired.
Under the provisions of the new in,
spection, with the support afforded by
the city ordinance recently enacted.
not pound of meat will be sold within
the city limits that has not been thor
oughly inspected and judgment passed
on il. as to its wholesomeness, by eX-
pert inspectors. With such a provis-
ion all pork coming from droves hav-
ing cholera, and all cattle coming from
herds where tuberculosis exists. will be
discovered and peTemptorily excluded.
Dr. Bond. stated this morning that all
meat of deleterious nature will thus
be precluded from the local markets
and that the per cent of deaths from
tuberculosis in Wayne county can thus
be reduced to a minimum in a few
years. Many are confident that much
of the diseases of pulmonary nature,
which are making such inroads in this
section. can thus be thwaTted.
The establishment of government
inspection in Richmond means the alb
solute exclusion Of all meats that have
heretofore been brought into the city
by farmers by small butchers residing
il the neighborhood. II has been the
custom for farmers 10 bring RIBS and
backbones into the city and sell them
TO local grocers. but with the establish
ment of government inspection all OF
these country products will be excIud-
ed.
The establishment of inspection In
Richmond, will be generally welcomed
by local citizens, for the wholesome
ness of the meats sold on the local
markets will be guaranteed.
