FEDERATION is POSSIBLE.
For the Five Central American Inde-
pendent States.

Mexico City, June 10.-Plans for
the federation of the live Central
American republics have at last TAX
en- definite form. If the ideas of
those most interested materialize,
congress will be held in Mexico City,
which will be attended by over 900
delegates. One hundred and fifty
of these will be Central Americans
now resident in this republic, and the
remainder will be regularly appoint
ed delegates from each of tho five
republics. DR.. Francisco Reyes, ex-
minister to Mexico from Salvador,
is the leader Of the movement. He
will shortly visit each of the Central
American republics to explain the
situation.
One drawback is the lack of Off
cial character which the meeting may
have. To overcome this, the leaders
hope that they can prevail upon Pres
ident Diaz to call the meeting. While
Senior Diaz has emphatically announc-
ed that Mexico does not entertain the
idea of protectorate for the settle
ment of Central American troubles,
1t Is argued that the mere calling of
the proposed convention would in no
way nullify Mexico's previous declara-
tion and would give the assembly the
desired standing.
The question Of federation could
then he settled by the Central Am
ericans themselves.

Boise June 10.-Steve Adams, inn
alleged crimes, denounces Orchard as
a brute and liar and declares every
statement he made wherein he i'm
plicates him is false.
Adams got in early today in the
custody of deputy sheriffs and is lock-
ed up in the county jail. He was ac-
companied by his attorney, John
Wourns, who defended him on the
charge of numbering Fred Tyler, a
claim jumper at Wallace, in Febru-
ary.
wourns declares the state will
gain nothing by calling Adams, as his
testimony will hurt its case more
than helping it.
Adams was taken from the county
Jail at Rathdrum Saturday night and
taken to the Washington boundary
was started. 1t had been reported
an attempt would be made to secure
Adams release on habeas corpus, so
the Sunday trip was decided upon.
Orchard at once resumed the stand
as soon as court reconvened. He look
ed fresh and was in his usually we'll
groomed condition. Richardson re-
sumed the cross-examination rela-
tive to his movements in and about
Independence at the time he alleges
he blew up the depot. The first half
hour developed nothing not already
made public.
Orchard admitted he was visited by

HARTMAN is IMMUNE.
Personally From Prosecution by the
Government.

New York, June 10.-The decision
of the federal authorities not to in
stitute criminal proceedings against
E. Fl. Hartman in connection with
his railroad operations, was the prin-
cipal subject of discussion on Wall
street today. Mr.. Hartman spent the
day at his country home, and his as
sociates would not discuss the matter
for publication.
Interests friendly to Mr.. Hartman
assert belief that the government
will abandon its case against the So
called Hartman lines. The idea that
Mr.. Hartman would be criminally
prosecuted was never very seriously
entertained in financial circles. Mr..
Harriman's friends say that there has
been no basis for such action and that
most of the alleged illegal acts i'm
puted to him are barred by the stat
ute of limitations. The stock mar
ketss response to the news was a
substantial rise in the Hartman is
sues, with corresponding advances
elsewhere in the list.

Detective MCFARLAND at the peniten-
tiary yesterday for an hour and saw
him again this morning in Hawley's
office. He also talked Sunday with
Hawley, Warden Whitney and Mills
and Ackerman regarding his testi-
mony and how he conducted himself
on the stand.
He said he wished to correct some
testimony heretofore given. He de-
clared he had not made a correct
statement when he said he made the
Grecian fire experiments with Bill
Esterly. He said It was Bill Acker-
man.
Asked II he corrected his testimony
because Esterly was here to contra
dict him and Alderman is supposed
to be in Nevada and could not be
brought here, Orchard said no.
Orchard admitted knowing Jim
was formerly the mine owners gun
man at Cripple Creek.
Asked If he knew the mine owners,
managers, deputy sheriffs and militia
officers, he, said he knew a number OF
them, but swore he did not convey any
information to any of them regard
ing the plan TO blow up the Indepen-
dence depot. He said he did not know
that Ssniilltary. company was on guard
there, that had been ordered to be
under arms at the mine that night
four hours before the explosion, be-
cause they had been told something
was coming Off"

Hermiston, June 10.-J. T. Whist
ler, chief engineer of the reclamation
service at Hermiston, is in receipt OF
the following communication from
Director F. H. Newell, which bears
upor the recent decision of the Unit
ed states supreme court in the Colo
RADIO Kansas case, which caused con-
siderable excitement:
"The case of Kansas VS.. Colorado,
decided by the U. S. supreme court,
contains expressions which are con-
declaration that the reclamation act
is unconstitutional.
"1'hat is entirely incorrect. The
court made no such statement and
has not prejudiced that question in
any way.
The language referred to Is con-
tained in an illustration used by the
court to show that congress is re-
strained in its legislative powers by
the constitution. Discussing the pos
sible exercise of congressional legis-
lative power beyond constitutional
limits in regard to the reclamation
OF arid lands, the court said:
Nor do we understand that here
tofore congress has acted in disre-
gard to this Imitation
"The consideration of this question
was not in any way involved in the
case before the court.
There is no good reason to doubt
that the reclamation act will be full
ly sustained If its constitutionality
should come directly before the
court. Aside from this the decision
is as satisfactory for irrigation de-
velopment generally as could have
been expected"

Washington, June 10.-The threat
ened international incident as re-
suit of the San Francisco disturbances
is merely an exhibition of ward poll
tics on a large scale. The only in
ternational feature is that there hap
pens to be in this country number
of Japanese in sympathy with the
opposition party at home.
The traditional friendship between
Japan and the United States is undis-
turhed. The San Francisco incident
is regarded here as not bigger than
a window smashing affair. .,

resolution:
The anti-Japanese feeling on the

especially at San Francisco, which
eliminated in an assault on Japnese

one of the most flagrant violations of
