AS VIEWED BY BORAH
Would Give Darrow All He Wants
Analyses the Evidence.

Would Give barrow All He Wants
Analyses the Evidence.
Senator Borah. in reply to barrow,
said that counsel for the defense in
his opening address to the jury alleged
that a conspiracy existed between the
Pinkerton detectives, the Mine Own
ers' association and the Citizens ALI
ance to drive the Western Federation
of Miners out of Colorado, and that
many of the crimes charged to the
Western Federation Of Miners were in
fact committed as incidents of the
conspiracy to get rid Of the union min
ers.
But when we come to sift the mat
ter out" continued Borah, what do
we find? That the conspiracy had
nothing to do with the Vindicator ex-
plosion in which Beck and Mccormick
were killed; that was an accident. The
conspiracy had nothing to do with the
attempt on Bradley; that was a gas ex-
ploSion- The conspiracy had nothing
to do with the death of Steunenberg;
that was the personal revenge of Har-
~ Orchard The conspiracy had moth
ing to do with the death OF Lyle Greg
DRY; that was the result of personal
difficulties. The conspiracy had moth
ing to do with the attempts on JUS
tice Gabbert and Governor Peabody;
they were the results Of political feel
ing.
Suppose we admit for the sake Of
argument that a conspiracy existed
any competent evidence under any rule
of law. am not going to argue this case
on the lines laid down by Mr.. Darrow
: that they have not the right TO
prove a counter conspiracy. 1 am not
going to oppose the principle that they
have a right to prove it; but what I
contend IS they have not proved it. Let
them put some member of the con-
spiracy on the stand and prove that
the conspiracy is responsible for the
crimes complained of. Testimony as
10 a conspiracy must come at first
hand, and cannot be accepted from a
third party who knows only by hear
say.
let Us admit for the sake OF argu-
ment that x. G. Sterling was the mem
Der Of conspiracy. What has the de-
Tense shown as 10 his connection with
the Independence depot affair THAT
Orchard was seen to go TO his rooms:
that after the explosion Sterling was
said to have called the dogs on the

BIG GUN STANDS TEST
REXER MACHINE RIFLE HAS
MANY ADVANTAGES.
Weapon Can Be Carried by One Man
and 1t Affords Poor Target for
the Enemy-Is Light and
Easily Portable.

London.-Some highly interesting
trials have been carried out before
several officers of the British army
with the new Rexer machine rifle. A
great future may await this weapon
If it practically solves the great diff
Guilty heretofore experienced in the
use Of machine guns firing small-arm
ammunition. e., the necessity of
some description of wheeled trans
port In general appearance the
Rexer automatic machine gun resem-
bles the ordinary rife except that il
has perforated casting surrounding
the barrel. 1t weighs only 171a pounds
and is carried and used by one man.
When in action. unless at exceedingly
close range. ii is impossible to distin-
guish between a Rexer gunner and an
infantry soldier using the ordinary in
fantry weapon.
The numerous advantages of this
weapon comprise lightness and porta-
bility, rapidity OF fire, ease and quick
ness with which il can be brought
into action and the small target which
1t affords to the enemy. The gun can
be instantaneously adapted for either
deliberate or automatic firing. The
maximum speed of firing is about Is
rounds second, and the changing Of
the clips, each OF which holds %
rounds, occupies only about the same
space OF time. The gun consists of a

BIG GAIN IN GOLD OUTPUT
Total Yield Of the World in 1904
Reached $347, 325, 644, Accord
ing to Authority.

New York.-The total gold production
OF the world during the year 1904 was
$347, 1925, 644. This total, according to
the Engineering and Mining Journal is
the largest on record, exceeding that of
1903 by ST, 2SS, or 81 per cent; that
of 1902 by $4s.9l2.651, or 14.1 per cent.
and that of 1901 by $50, 44s,2I5. or "a. 3
per cent. 1t was more than two and ona.
half times the average of the extraor-
binary decade which followed the dis
covery Of gold In California and Aus
tralia.
Australasia retained the first rank.
the United States second, the Trsnsvaal
third. The five great producers-Aus-
tralasia, the United States, the Trans.
vaal, Russia and Canada-report a total
output of $2S7 .432, Ill or 1928 per cent. of
the total.
Not all this great increase has been
due to discoveries Of new gold deposits.
A very considerable portion of it is the
result Of improved methods OF treating
ores.
