TAFT URGED TO
RETAIN TROOPS
Senator NewIands Of Nevada Work.
ing to Have Order for Withdrawal
Cancelled, at Least Tenn
porariIy
Ry AssooIated Pres,.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator New
lands lof Nevada is endeavoring to pre-
vent the withdrawal of the government
troops from Goldfeld until some other
means of protection is had. Today he
called on Secretary Taft at the war de-
partment and strongly urged that execu-
ton of the order issued by the secretary
for the withdrawal of the troops be sus-
pended until he has had an opportunity
to communicate with Governor Sparks
and endeavor to induce him to call the
Nevada legislature together.
Secretary Taft has been advising with
Secretary Root on this subject, and it is
probable that the president will be COM
municated with at Pine Knot. There Is
every disposition to refrain from break
ing in upon his privacy at this time, and
the only excuse for doing so is found in
the fact that unless the original order is
modified the troops must leave Goldfield
next Monday morning and before the
president returns to Washington.
May Retain Troops
Administration officials feel that the
situation cannot be continued in view of
the doubt that exists as to the constitu-
tional and legal right of the executive to
employ any part of the regular army in
Navada under present conditions. Gov
ernor Sparks attention has been repeat
edly called to the fact that this constitu-
tional doubt might be removed by the
simple device of calling together the
state legislature, when that body could
either give its warrant to the use of the
federal troops or provide by legislation
for raising a state force Of some kind.
either militia or police, sufficient to in
sure the maintenance of peace and the
oh Of loxu in
1t is believed that Senator Newlands
appeal today is an indication of the will
ingness of the governor to recall his re-
fusal to convene the legislature in ses-
sion, and if this belief is well founded the
government troops could probably be re-
tanned at Goldfield until some other ar
rangement can be made.
Decision Awaited
GOLDFIELD, New, Dec. 27.--Both sides
of the labor controversy in Goldfield are
tonight anxiously awaiting word from
Carson as to the result of the attempt of
the mine owners to secure from the
United States circuit court an injunction
against the members of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners and the Goldeld Min
ers' union prohibiting them from picket
ing the mines and compelling them to
cease meeting or conducting the business
of the union in uoldfield.

TIce Ignorant Of Schedule

James C. Tice, former assistant general
agent, but now local agent for Wells
Fargo & Co., was the next witness. He
also admitted that he had never seer
tariff schedule No. 10 and furthermore
made the admission that the company
did not post its tariffs, schedules ano
rules conspicuously where the public
could see them, as required by the inter-
state commerce law, in the sense that
they were tackled or pasted on the walls
but declared that they were easily ac-
cessible to the public upon inquiry at
the counter and that a notice to this
effect was posted in every office of the
company
do you mean to say that, having the
tariffs easily accessible at the counter
or information department upon inquiry,
Is posting them conspicuously, as re-
quired by the Interstate commerce COM
mission?" asked counsel for complainant.
~ believe that it fulfills that require
ment," was the reply.
Counsel then called the commissioner S
attention to the fact that the printed
tariffs and supplements as shown by the
defense failed to state when they were
filed with the commission or on what
date they went into effect, as do railroad
tariff schedules.
Commissioner Lane admitted that this
was a serious deIeCC In the construction
Of the schedules which should be rem
edied.
Jobbers Intervene
With the testimony of Tice the case
was submitted SO far as the complainant
and defense were concerned, but Attorney
Mann put two witnesses on the stand on
behalf of the Pacific Coast Jobbers' as
sociation as interviewer in the case.
Fl. D. Loveland, president of the job
bers association and state railroad COM
missioner. testified that the wholesale
and jobDing interests on the Pacific coast
represented a capital of $250,000,000 to
$500 100000, whose annual volume of busi-
ness was fully that amount, and declared
that the removal of the differential rates
on shipments and the upholding of the
charges of the California Commercial as
sociation against the express company in
the matter of rates would make the
coast merely outlying retail districts for
New York anu Chicago and eventually
will wipe out the wholesalers and jobbers
with all their vast interests.
He held that the contention of the COM
plainant was an evasion and that the
elimination of the differential rates would
be fatal to the jobbing interests.
Commissioner Lane gave all three sides
fifteen days in which to file briefs.

potse yda.-The prosecution in the
Steunenberg murder trial offered one
NJ its most important pieces OF evil
,jence against William ID. Haywood
on Tuesday, when, recalling harry
Orchard for redirect examination, 1t
introduced and secured the admission
of four letters tending to show that
Haywood, during the fall OF l9o5'
when Orchard swears he was engaged
On various crimes for the Federation
leaders. had participated in a plan to
deceive Mrs. orchard, the second, OF
Cripple Creek. as to the whereabouts
of her husband.
The defense attacked the letters
and Orchards story about them when
il got a chance to cross-examine the
witness, but Orchard held to the
story he told about them. The wit
ness successfully denied that he had
made an arrangement for the deliv-
cry of the letters to Pinkerton agents,
that the letters had only made their
appearance since he left the stand
last week. or that he had invented
the story because his wife had Hay
woods letter in her possession.
At the opening of the morning SEES
sion the defense asked Orchard a
series of impeaching questions. They
all dealt with conversations in which
it was alleged Orchard recited his
private grudge against Frank Steun-
enberg and vowed that he would kill
him if he hanged for it. Orchard de-
and generally.
Ed Boyce, once president of the
Western Federation of Miners, and
now one of the owners of the rich
Hercules mine came after Orchard,
and was still on the stand when the
court rose for the day. He was called
to identify the Miners Magazine as
the official organ of the Federation
and to pave the way for the use as
evidence of great number of arti-
Giles from the magazine.
To combat the theory that Orchard
killed Steunenberg in revenge for his
loss Of valuable interest in the Her.
cules mine. the state on redirect ex
animation obtained from Orchard a
declaration that he sold his interest
in the Hercules in 1897, two years be
fore the strike and troops came. The
defense attempted to modify this by
getting the witness to admit that he
had not sold his interest in the Her
cules, but had pledged it. and could
have taken it back any time up tC
his flight from north Idaho. before
the oncoming of troops. but Orchard
adhered to the statement that he hat
sold outright.

CHINESE INDEMNITY IS CUT
N TWO BY SECRETARY ROOT
chinks Are 10 Pay eleven Million for
Boxer Trouble, Instead OF twenty
four Million.

Boston.-Slr Chentung Lang

dor to the United States, who is in
this city on a visit. has given out the
following:
Il shall make public the contents
OF an official note which received
from Secretary Root last Saturday
night. which shows better than any
thing else can the remarkably high
sense of justice which the United
States has used in all her dealings
with China You remember that
after the Boxer troubles China agreed
10 pay an indemnity OF s24,440,71S
on account OF the losses entaiied by
the United States government as well
an for personal property lost by her
citizens during the Boxer campaign.
Four years ago your government was
good enough TO promise me that
when the time arrived, as token OF
sincere friendship for China, the or
iginal figures OF the indemnity would
be revised
True to the promise Of the execu'
tive officers, | received note from
Secretary Root last Saturday night
saying that the president directed
him to say that in his next message
to congress he would be pleased to
recommend that China be relieved OF
all obligation in excess OF the final
revised amount of the indemnity
which had been set at $1l ,G55. 49Z,69.
That. as you can see, will save china
over sl2,O00,0 900 and also an interest
of 4 per cent.
You cannot emphasize too strong
ly my admiration for the fair spirit
which has always characterized the
dealings of the United States with
my country. This final/actlon is an
other monument to Americas high
sense of justice, and | feel called
upon TO say-not because | am the
retiring ambassador-tha personally
| | feel that America is one of China
| strongest friends"
