Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory il the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
Bile can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength than other makes.

Emperor DisSolbes D0Hma;
 Silences fhe Liberal Press

This ukase Is signed by the president of the minister's council.
 The session of the council of ministers, at which the decision to dissolve parlia ment was reached was a long one. it lasted from o'clock Saturday night un,il nearly o'clock this morning. The min isters had agreed upon the terms of the ukase before midnight, however, and a draft of the ukase was taken immediately to Peterhof. where the Emperor affixed his signature.
 The news of the dissolution was re- ceived shortly before o'clock this morn ing, but the meeting of the cabinet was continued until the arrival of the doc ument The document was delivered by Premier Stolypn into the hands of the official printers for publication. copy also appeared in the Rossia this morn ing.
 Following the dissolution this morning an order from General DracheffsH, pre- feet of St. Petersburg addressed to the municipal press, appeared. It announces that the publication of any article nim- ical to the government, which was con sdered a misdemeanor would be punish able by a fine of $1500 and three months in jail This is the most drastic meas ure proclaimed against the press since the days of the black reaction, and If it Is enforced will entail the suspension Of every liberal newspaper in St. Petersburg. The socialist Tovarisch has already thrown up the sponge and will not at tempt to appear this morning, feeling that suppression is inevitable.
 More than TOO arrests were made in St. Petersburg yesterday.

St. Petersburg, June 16.--Emperor N1ch- olas affixed his signature this morning to an inperiaf ukase dissolying the pres ent deuma and ordering that the election of members to it's successor which is to meet November IA, be held under the new election law that provides against the ''submergence of the educated cla ses by the ,uneducated masses" This acf con stitKtes virtual coup d'etat, and over rides the specific provision of the funda- mental laws of the realm solemnly pro- claimed by his majesty on the eve of the conversation of the first douma, which declared electoral law could never be changed without the consent of parlid- ment itself.
 This breach, it is said, is justified by the great law of necessity, the advisers Of the Emperor holding chat 1t is impossible under present conditions to secure d par iously with the crown to secure Russia from anarchy and revolution.
 The imperial ukase is addressed to the ruling senate and reads as follows
 According to paragraph 105 of the fun damentaI laws of 1906 we ordain:
 Firstly that the imperial douma be dissolved. Secondly, that new elections of mem- bers to another douma be held begin- ming September IA; and
 Thirdly, that the new imperial douna be convoked November II, of the pres ent year.
 'The ruling senate will not fail to take proper measures to place this in effect.

Original Drafs Produced and Ooz}n Witnesses Confirm
 Parts of Murder Story
GOV, PEABODY AND HIS
 DAUGHTER PUT ON STAND
Senator Borah Announces That the Prosecution Will Conclude Its Case This Week-Steve Adams
 Photographed Haywood.

Boise. Idaho, June 15.-ln support of it's case against William C. Haywood, charged with the murder of Frank Steun- enberg, the state today submitted to the jury the testimony of an even dozen witnesses tending to confirm several de- tails of the story of Harry Orchard and at adjournment announced that 1t would close it's case next week.
 The announcement as 10 the conclusions of the proseeutions case was q surprise to the defense and was very clearly pleas ing to the prisoner and his counsel It came in response to a request from the defense as to when it should assemble it's witnesses, and Senator Borah, who spoke for his side, gave next Wednesday as the time. He later explained, how ever, that he had given an early day, in order to avoid delay and as the trial now stands, adjourned until Tuesday morning, the prosecution will not be able to conclude before the end of the week.
 Among todays witnesses were former Governor Peabody and his daughter, Miss Cora Peabody, but neither was on thc stand very long.
  , and motions to strike out and long re- cord paragraphed with exceptions by the defense to the rulings of Judge Wood, the | prosecution succeeded in securing the ad- mission of much evidence bearing on points of Orchards tale.
 First there was showing that Steve Admas, stranded at Ogden in June, 1903, on the way from Calforna, where 1t Is alleged he went to kill Fred Bradley, sent telegram to Haywood, at Denver, for of six drafts on New York banks, five of which were purchased at the First Ma tional bank, of Denver by Haywood him self, that during 1904 1905 and 1906, money was frequently remitted by Haywood to l.. J. Simpkins, former member of the executive board of the Western Fedora ton of Miners, who as Simmons came to Caldwell with Harry Orchard and as- sisted in the attempt to kill Steunenberg
 After that came the production of the shattered and twisted fragments of the device by which the Vindicator bomb was set off and this led 10 an extended in- qury by the defense into conditions and events centering about Cripple Creek dur ing strikes and martial law days.
 The defense tried to show that there had been unwarranted deportation of union miners; that the calling of the mil itia was unwarranted; that union stores had been footed. and that agents of the mine owners had committed acts of Yio- lence and melted others to violence.

NEGRO BADLY MIXED
 IN SHIP TRIAL Testimony for the Government
 Proves Worthless IS AGAIN VERY INS0LENT Negro Ex-constable Denies Things He Swore to Friday--"knowed They

 peach Him."
IS AGAIN VERY INSOLENT

Chattanooga. June 15.-Again this morn ing the testimony of Joe Franklin was the feature in the Shipp case. The negro ex-constable was mpudent in many of his answers and again this morning he frequently went outside of the questions to interject unnecessary matter into the record, and one time Commissioner Ma her was compelled to call the witness down for making a regular stump speech. This was after Assistant Attorney Gen eral E. T. Sanford had insisted on Frank lin answering the questions and keeping unnecessary matter out
 In the course of the cross-exa nina ton by J. J. Lynch, who represents Joe Clark, one of the defendants, the testi- mony of Franklin as given yesterday was very badly shaken. The negro was evidently very angry about the way his testimony had been published and when MT. Lynch, reading from the record of the official stenographers, asked Franklin whether he had sworn certain things, the ex-constable denied many things that he had testified to yesterday. After hav- ing denied that he had said that he had seen Clark with pistol. Franklin was asked:
 If they got it down that way. they've got 1t down wrong?' asked MT. Lynch.
 "Theyve got lots of things down wrong said Franklin, and his tone was very surly.
 Denies Former Testimony.
 He said that he had been reported incorrectly in the newspapers and that the white people had 1t in for him gen neraly.

The executive committee of the democratic party in the years 1905 and 1906, in the unrestricted and un- warranted exercise of party power. without any demand from or consent of the people, and fer evident partisan purposes, required the people to vote for candidates for offices which were not then vacant. Not only this, but set aside both the constitution and ordi- nary decency and respect in presup- posing and providing for a vacancy, which vacancy occurring the constitu- ticn itself provided for.

 Franklin became very much mixed about this matter and refused to swear the same things that he had sworn yes terday, although he asserted that he had sworn the truth yesterday and that he was still swearing 1t. He would not he sure about anything. MT Lynch con tlnued questioning him from the record about what he had sworn yesterday and then Franklin broke out with;

 You can go and get fellows to swear anything, and that Is Just what you are going to do, too
 After having been questioned about his sworn statement that Clark was a deputy sheriff at the time of the lynch ing, Franklin said that he had not known any better until yesterday, when, after he had finished testifyins, Clark asked him if he didn't know that he (Clark) had resigned some time ago. Then Franklin broke out with:
 "Trick on Me-"
 T knowed right then that they was fixing up some sort of a trick on me. knowed that they was trying to i'm peach me and make it look like l was swearing what was not true.
 Then pointing toward the attorneys for the defenae Franklin cried;

DAMAGE GOODS IN SHIPMENT.
Important Conference Held By Com merce Commission With Railroads.

Washington, June 15.-An import ant conference was held by the inter- state commerce commission with coun- sel for the railroads on the subject of liability of railroads for loss or dam age 10 goods in shipment.
 The law provides that in the event of loss or damage of shipments in transit the initial carrier shall be lia- ble to the shipper for such loss.
 Counsel for the railroads claim the law Is unconstitutional and, it is said. will fight it in the courts. It is likely that. while no agreement was reached at todays meeting, the commissoin will in short time issue regulation on the subject that may clear away a part, at least, of the difficulty.
