HAYWOOD ON STAND.
DEFENDANT PROVES GOOD WIT.

lengthy narrative of his life and MIS-
work as a leader of his fellow miners
that was interrupted by Adjournment,
denied guilt Of the murder OF Frank
Steunenberg and the manifold crimes
charged against him by Harry Or,
chard.
Haywood was pale and trembled
with nervousness when he left the Ia
BILE of his counsel and walked around
to the elevated witness stand where
he faced the Judge and jury and rails
ed his right hand to be sHorn. When
he began to respond to Clarence Oar.
rows questions his voice was low and
somewhat uncertain, but within ten
minutes he had regs.ined his compos-
ure and for the rest of the afternoon
he was master of his feelings. AS
he told of his boyhood that began
with toll at the age OF 8 and gave
the history of his family, his invalid
wife, who sat just to the left of the
witness stand and began sobbing softly
Her mother-in-law and her nurse soon
comforted her, however, and during
the rest of the afternoon, she and the
rest Of Haywood kins folk remained
quiet but deeply concerned auditors.
Haywoods testimony was chiefly
characterized by positive denials OF
the allegations made against him by
the prosecution. He denied that he
met Orchard until some time after the
Vindicator explosion, denied that ne
sent Orchard back to Cripple Creek to
blow up the Independ station
He denied participation in the Lite
Gregory murder and denied suggest
ing or discussing the Stuenenberg mu muir
der. He swore that ne never gave
Orchard any money at any time fol
any purpose. He declared that ne
never made threat against Stuenen
berg, who, he said, he regarded only
as he did any politician who was be
ing swayed by capitalistic influence

The state completed the cross-ex'
animation of Charles H. Meyer at
noon and in dealing with his testi
mony directed its strongest attack
against the circumstances under which
the federation at the suggestion OF
Jack Simpkins, came to the relief OF
Orchard when he was arrested for
killing Stuenenberg.

examination, emphasized the connec.

Adams, who is charged with killing
two claim jumpers at the instigation
of Jack Simpkins. Meyer denied
knowing anything about the 500 that
J Haywood sent to Jack Simpkins q

ALCOHOL N MEDICINES.
seventy-Five Per Cent Of Doctors
Prescriptions Call for II.

and Drugs law is in effect all patent"
medicines in liquid form bear on the
label statement of the percentage
of. alcohol contained In them. The
average amount Of alcohol is said to
be about ten per cent, some have more
and some less, but that is about the
average. Alcohol is everywhere rec
ognized as a chemical necessity for
the preservation Of organic substance
from deterioration, and from freez-
ing and it is also required to dissolve
substances not soluble in water.
But for the use of small quantity
of alcohol in most ready-to-use medi.
cines those preparations which most
families keep constantly on hand
would likely be decayed or frozen
when their use became necessary.
Alcohol is an indispensable requi..
site in the fluid extracts and tinctures
which are exclusively used in filling
prescriptions written by physicians,
and these tinctures and extracts con.
tain from 20 to 80 per cent of alco-
hol. More than rs per cent Of all
the liquid medicines prescribed by
physicians contain alcohol in large
proportions.
Charles A. Rapelye, a leading phar-
macist of Hartford, Conn.,, some time
ago examined rs prescriptions repre-.
senting a fair average OF those writ.
ten by physicians to be compounded,
and none being for specialties. The
average amount of alcohol in the
whole number was IS per cent; but
Of the Is prescriptions five contained
no alcohol, so that the average per-
centage Of the remaining 20 which
did contain alcohol was nearly As per
cent; or more. than four times the
probable average alcoholic strength Of
patent" medicines.
There is some difference Of opiRion
as to whether it is or Is not desirable
as a stimulant in case Of sickness,
but there is no difference of opinion
as to the necessity for its use as SOL
vent and preservative in most cases.
The attention of the medical world
has recently been called to q mani
festo issued by prominent London
physicians who, while deploring the
evils from the use of alcoholic bev-
erages, are convinced "of the correct
ness of the opinion so long and gener-
ally held, that in disease alcohol is a
rapid and trustworthy restorative"
and that in many cases 1t may be
truly described as life-preserving, ows
ing to its power to sustain cardiac and
nervous energy, while protecting the
heterogeneous tissues. This manifesto
