INSPECTION
FEES PAID
Manufacturers Are ObeQinQ
New Law

OLYMPIA, June 21.-Factory in
spection fees are coming in as never
before and State Labor Commissioner
Hubbard has received approximately
$500 from this source within the past
80 days. The fees are for the annu-
al reinspection. While the inspec-
ton certificates are governed by nc
fixed fiscal year. being good for one
year from date of issue, most Of the
inspection work is done at this season
of the year owing to the fact that the
original factory inspection law of 1905
went into effect in June.
While at first there was something
of a discrimination among various
manufac turing concerns to submit to
inspection and pay the required $40
license fee, the factories have come
to take an entirely different view of
the case and now appreciate the real
protection afforded the mills by hav-
ing expert inspection and proper safe
guards for machinery, etc, put in. The
manufacturers are now eager in near
Nv all cases to have the inspection.
The law providing for the inspection
however, is mandatory, and the amend
ed law that went into effect June u,
makes violations of the act a misde-
meanor punishable by a fine of from
$25 to 800. Under the new law all
payments of inspection fees are made
directly to the labor commissioner and
full records Of the same are kept in his
office, the money received being turned
h. 70
A reduction is made by the new law
in the fee charged for plants employ
ing five employees or less, which is re-
duced from SO to IS.
Commissioner Hubbard has three
regular inspectors at work in their re-
spective territories. and an extra in
spector now busy in Seattle.

CHINESE AMBASSADOR
PROVIDES OFFICIAL NOTE

BOSTON, June 21.-Sir Chen,uns
LANG Cheng, retiring Chinese ambas-
sadOr to the United States, who is in
this city on a visit, today made the
following statement to the Associa ted
Press:
Il shall make public today the con-
tents of an official note which 1 re-
ceived from Secretary Root last Sat
urday night, which shows better than
anything 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 to
pay an indemnity of $24,440,77S.S1 on
account of the losses entailed by the
United States government as vel, as
for personal property lost by her cit
liens during the Boxer campaign.
-Four years ago your government
was good enough to promise me that
when the time arrived as a 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 a note rom
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 re-
commend that China be relieved of all
obligation in excess of the final 70"
v-sed amount Of the indemnify which
had teen set at $11,644.4 92 60. That.
as lou can see, will save China over
s12p00.000 and also an interest Of 4
per cent.
You cannot emphasize too strongly
my great admiration for the :air spirit
which has always characterized the
dealings of the United states WITH
my country. This final action is an"
other monument to Americas high
sense of justice and l feel called upon
to say, not because l am the retiring
ambassador that personally l feel that
America is one of China'S closest
friends

Reynolds first met her in Denver

courtship the pair were married and
came to- Oregon to reside. Reynolds
since leaving the government service
had been engaged in trading and stock
merchandising until he purchased a

There is still some mystery sur

Tuesday evening during the absence
of Reynolds and yesterday afternoon
when his wife telephOned him that she
would not call at the bath house to
relieve him at 4 o'clock as was her
usual custom, the husband became
suspicious and determined to investi-
gate the matter on his own hook.
According to Reynolds his wife tel
ephoned aim about 2 o'clock that she
was not feeling well. She minated
that an afternoon of rest and quiet
would do her good and Reynolds told
her to remain indoors, so he says.

Taken to Scene of Crime.

Caldwell, Idaho-Harry Orchard. the
confessed murderer of former Gov
ernor Steunenberg and eighteen other
men, was brought to the scene of the
crime which finally landed him within
the clutches Of the law, and taken be-
fore Judge Wood at the county court
house. The Haywood case at Boise
was adjourned over today TO enable
Judge Wood to come to Caldwell and
enter an order formally adjourning Or
chard's trial for the present term of
! court
The proceedings began at i a. m.
Judge Wood arrived in an automobile at
that hour. Orchard was brought over on
an early train in custody of Warden
Whitney of the State Penitentiary and
several deputies and detectives. The
trip was without incident. The pris-
oner was attired in a natty Lew brown
suit and attracted considerable atten-
tion. The local attorney. Mr.. Cox. who
has been the attorney of record for Or
chard in this county, was relieved from
further duty by Judge Wood this morn
ing, and with the consent of the pris-
oner, Frank r Wyman, a Boise attor-
ney. was appointed in his place
II presume you desire a continuance
of counsel?" asked Judge Wood of the
prisoner.
Yes. sir. If ii please your honor" re-
piled Orchard. who until the formal
appointment of Mr.. Wyman. was with
out a legal adviser in the court room.
The date of Orchards trial will not
be set until the cases against Hay
wood. Meyer and Pettibone at Boise
are disposed of. Orchard being the
states principal accusing witness
against the miners officials. Orchard

Boise, ldaho.-A. e. Carlton and wife
arrived here, and with them was Char
ley Neville, who, with his father, ac-
companied Orchard on the camping
trip out of the Cripple Creek district

| by them he would not be witness
| Mr.. Carlton is keeping close watch
| over the boy and has had him in
care for the past ten days. The party
spent a week at Salt Lake waiting
there until the state should want them
Neville will be one of the most i'm
1 portant witnesses for the state. His
| testimony concerning the movements
| OF Orchard while the party was still in
| the Cripple Creek district is not of so
much importance. as the defense is
willing to concede that Orchard blew
up the depot, but If he knows anything
about Orchards movements in Den
yer and of his communicating with the
| officials of the federation 1t will be the
most convincing part of the relation
| ship between the ASSASSIN and the de-
| PENDANTS.
Another point that the state may at
tempt to bring out is the peculiar cir
| cumstances attending the death of
John Neville, father of the boy.
There is no doubt in my mind"
said Carlton, that they poisoned John
Neville to get him out of the way be-
cause he knew too much.'
The cause of the elder Neville's
death was said to be an incurable in
testinal disease, but the statement of
Carlton which | have heard whis-
pered before. leads to new conjectures
on the matter.

would take care of him. said Carlton.

Boise. Idaho.-Is Pettibons Pink
erton detective?
That question Is being whispered in
Boise. The attorneys for the defense
reply in the negative, and there Is a
fierce emphasis to their remarks. The
representatives of the prosecution re
fuse 10 be interviewed" except to say
we will prove our case"
The Pinkertons are responsible for
the story that Pettibone was on their
agency's payroll for a number of years
and tnat he acted as n spy on the lead
ers of the Western Federation of Min
ers. give the story as II was related
to me by one of the Pinkertons, and l
am confident other newspaper men
have heard Il.
The friends of Haywood imagine
the prosecution has fallen down" said
the detective. but Darrow and Rich
ardson do not know the hole card we
are going to exhibit. Pettibone Is a
Pinkerton and has been connected
with our organization for many years.
He promised to go on the stand to
support Orchard and he will not go
back on his word. We always kept
him under cover, for he was most
valuable man. He was on the inside.
and we used him in our important OPP
erations against the Federation"
A man close to the prosecution list
tened to the story of the Pinkerton as
| related and then said.
That Is true, but Pettibone will not
testify. He promised TO go on the
stand and we were holding him back
for the climax-the finale as it were
of this sensational trial. Three days
ago he notified us that he would not
go on the stand Naturally the state
ment created CONSERVATION in our
camp. We had planned to partially
| corroborate many of Orchards state
ments with a small army of witnesses
| and then Pettibone was expected tC
make assurance doubly sure by swear
! ing that Haywood had employed him
as the murderer-in-chief of the inner

will be shattered. | do not think Stew,

confession he is supposed to have

81 am pretty well disgusted with the
Pinkertons. MCFARLAND was so conf
dent of Pettlbone that he did MOI
properly prepare his case. So we fint
ourselves up in the air at a crucia
moment"
The story is given for what it /,
worth.

by the Pinkertons to demoralize The

New York.-According to state
ment made public the requests for
gifts sent to Miss Helen Gould aggre-
gate nearly s2.000,000 n week They
range all the way from the asking for
SIS for set of false teeth to 100000
to start colony in Cuba.
Miss Gould gave an itemized list OF
a weeks requests recently to Franz
Kaltenbern, the orchestra leader. A
movement is on foot among the music
lovers of this city to make Kalten-
berns orchestra music permanent
feature in New York. For this, sub
scriptions from wealthy persons would
be necessary. Miss Gould was ore Of
those consulted. She encouraged Kali
tenbern. but incidentally cited the
fact that this was not the only thing
she was asked to encourage Then she
gave him the list.
In the week referred to Miss Could
received 231 requests for money out
right Out of these 1879 left the
amount to her good will and discre-
ton. Miss Gould was asked in this
week for $500 to help form an anti-sa-
loon league in Idaho. She received
forty-three requests for aid for
churches, twenty y-seven for educational
institutions and twenty-six for libra
ries. More than thirty were for help for
charitable institutions. Four persons.

the federal government. Better. far
better, that the remnant of 1t be held
by the government forever. than that
1t should go the way millions of acres
now held b. . score of huge corpo-
rate interests have gone.
Our distinguished senior senator
objects to the Presidents proposed
plan because 1t converts the govern
ment into a huge landlord; and land
lordism is not congenial to American
institutions. This is true as an alb
stract proposition Yet, in fact, land
iordism is a prominent feature of our
national life. 1t is growing faster than
our population. The Union Pacific. the
Colorado Fuel & Iron, the street trust,
the Standard Oil. and all kindred or
ganizations. are typical modern land
lords. Since We must have them, l
feel sanguine that the average man
would prefer Uncle Sam to any Of
these.
Those who criticise the Presidents
plans should suggest a better one.
Some new plan is necessary. and the
President is at least entitled to the
merit of proposing one. 1t is not ideal
but 1t is an Improvement on what we
have. Let us look at this great ques-
ton, free from the influence of self
interest, If we can, bear in mind the
high purpose and moral courage that
animates our President in the position
he has taken upon il, free ourselves of
passion and patiently consider the
problem from a national viewpoint.
