Washington, July 23-Since the Civil
war many Union veterans Of German
birth went back to the old country, where
they are maintained by the pensions al.
lotted them by the American congress.
Most OF tho men were naturalized as
American citizens before they returned
to Germany. Now they are greatly per.
turbed over the new citizenship law,
fearing the loss Of their acquired nat.
uralization.
At the state department Gaillard Hunt
chief Of the citizenship bureau. declared
that no genuine American citizen-that
is to say that no person OF native birth
and no one who acquired American citi
zenship with legitimate purpose TO be.
come an actual citizen-necd have any
apprehension that he will suffer under
the new law.
The mon that will have cause to fear
the law" he said. "is he who becumc
naturalizcd in this country with the dc.
iibcrntc purpose Of returning to the
country OF his origin ~ live and to en-
gage in business permanently and to re-
cure thereby exemptions from military

 He was put in with you?'
 ''Yes sir
 Orchard said he promised Mcfarland and the penitentiary warden to do what he could to make Adams tell all he knew, to tell the truth.
 'I told Steve that I thought of max ing a confession, that he had better do the same thing: that the truth had to come out some day."

 Didn't you tell Steve that when you got out you were going to put water be- tween you and what you left of the Vest ern Federation of Miners?''
 No, sir, I said something about that if it ever happened I'd go across the pond"
 What were you going across the pond for?'
 There had been so much talk in the federation between Mover Haywood, Pet tiben and the others that if anybody 'coughed up it wouldn't do them any good-that they would get them sooner or later'
 You knew you had murdered Governor Steunenberg and that you deserved hang ing didn't you?"

 And having confessed and expecting to be hanged you were discussing with Steve Adams the plans for your future?'
 ''Yes"
 And this was because of what McPart- land had told you?"

 When Mcfarland came to the peniten- tiary after the arrest of Adams, Orchard told the detective he had done what he could to get Adams to tell the truth Since Adams left the peniteniary Orchard said he had not been placed in a cell and had the freedom of the building and grounds. He insisted McPartiand had made no promise of immunity. No Promise of Immunity. "He said he could not make me any

 Orchard denied that he had ever been put in a chair to be examined and cross examined by the attorneys for the state in preparation for the trial. Richardson wanted to know if Mcfarland had not instructed the witness as to his demeanor on the stand: The position to occupy, the tone of voice. and the way to look at counsel when questioning him. etc. Orchard denied 1t all. He said Me Partland had been in Boise several weeks prior to the trial and had frequently visited him.

 Richardson demanded to know if the witness thought Mcfarland was visit ing him for any other reason than the honor and glory of the detective agency to which he belonged. Orchard said he didn't know.
 DO you think the salvation of your soul was his object?"
 T couldn't say as to that.
 Richardson questioned the witness for fifteen minutes regarding his personal adornment for the trial. Orchard says his new suit of clothes was made by a con- vict m the penitentiary. new shoes. hat and linen were brought to him by the warden. The overcoat he sometimes wears was borrowed rom the warden Orchard said he had always been treated well at the penitentiary.

 Governor Gooding has been out to see you many times, hasn't he?"
 "Yes, sir"

 But you know from his manner that he regards you as a friend?'
 'He has told me he thought I was doing right and doing great tnlng TOT the state and country"
 And he said the state would be under an obligation to you?"
 NO, sir
 Orchard said Warden Whitney also calls him Harry.

BAPTIST IS WANTED
 TO REGULATE CARS
SPECIAL OFFICER WILL BE STA. TIONED AT THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH TO SEE THAT SPEED REGULATION IS OBSERVED.

An officer who is a Baptist Is pre- ferred," was the postscript attached to a letter which Chief Wier received yester- day morning.
 The street car motormen who run their cars past the First Baptist church on Sunday seem to have disregarded the slow signs hung on tue trolley wires, and consequently the Rev pr. A. J. Dick inson, pastor of the church, has requested that policeman be stationed at the church on Sunday between the hours of 10 and 12:30 a. m., and 7:30 and o'clock, p. m, in order that the objectionable noise made by the rapidly running cars may be remedied.
 Cars running past the church at . rapid rate make hearing in the back of the church almost impossible during the sermon. During the warm weather it is necessary to leave the windows of the church open for the sake of comfort, and every time car flies by the church is filled with the grinding of wheels, in- stead of the eloquence of the preacher.
 Mayer Ward has taken cognlzance of the request and notified Chief AVier to look up Baptist policeman. Tie force was looked over and the chef even went so far as to get a member Of pr. Dick inson's church to Je on duty as requested, the lot falling 60 officer \orrell He will have to listen b the sermons her.- after through the back window, and a: the same time be prepared to run down speeding street cars that may happen to pass Officer Ncrrcil will be .i hand next Sunday.

No Deserters From Japanese Navy.

From the New York Times
 The visitor was anxious to know some- thing about the regulations which gov ern the navy of the miSado. and asked what was the established penalty for de- sertion, an offense which is quite fre- quent in our own navy just now. The officer did not understand. The visitor repeated his question. but they were still in the dark. He finally made himself clear by asking what punishment was inflicted upon the Japanese sailor who left his ship and did not return.
 70, now we understand. But we never have that; 1t is unknown in our ser vice. There Is no record of any Japa- nese ever having deserted his ship" The officer spoke with touch of pride.
 But you have a death penalty; for what is that infilcted?'
 Never for desertion. In our navy we have no deserters. If a man were to desert 1t would not rest with the off cers to execute him. He would kill him- self. But we have a death penalty. o, yes. It may be inflicted on any one for several causes. Mention one? We'll, for instance, if any one is unkind to an en- emy without reason; maltreats a pris- oner; then we kill"

 Richardson in reply declared that Orch ard had been fitted for his examina- tion," was an accomplice and master criminal, but was now trying to help the state.
 If there has been influence induce ment as to securing this evidence we have a right to inquire into it," the attorney concluded
 Judge Wood said he would allow the widest latitude.
 Didn't McPartland tell you that every man of the Molly Maguires, who turned states evidence, was allowed to go free?"
 T don't know that he did. Some of them escaped"
 Did he promise you $700 or $500 if you confessed and involved others?"
 No, sir
 Richardson took Orchard back to his home in Canada and asked if he had not been connected with Sunday school. Orchard replied in the affirmative, but said he had never been a superintendent. The witness said he often went to church as 8 young man.
 Did you belong to the church when you ran away with another mans wife and sold short weight cheese?'
 NO, sir
 Did you ever parade with the Salvation army?'
 ''No, sir"

Like "keIly, the Bum."

Orchard said Mcfarland told him he was something like Kelly, the bum,'' and that Kelly had gone free.
 Did you ever hear McPartland use profane language?"
 Yes, sir"
 And tell Bible stories at the same time?'
 Il heard him tell Bible stories, too."
 You had heard them before?'
 'I had read the Bible some, but have forgotten it.'
 Orchard said Mcfarland told him he was in a position to do the state a great deal of good and that the state usually acted fairly with it's witnesses.
 And you felt you were safe if you helped the state?'
 A was in doub. as to what he told me about the state using its witnesses so we'll"
 It was on the third visit of the de- tective that Orchard began to tell some thing of his past life. Orchard said Me- Partland told him he believed the West ern federation was responsible for the murder of Steunenberg and others.
 He told you you were just a tool didn't he?"
 "Yes, sir. He said he knew I was guilty and that others were connected with me-
 Orchard declared that his talks with Mcfarland may have induced him to tell his story earlier than he otherwise would have done, but he had made up his mind t. do it.

Tempted to Kill Himself.


 q didn't want to live any longer in that way and l was tempted to put my sen out of the way"
 But you changed your mind after talk ing with Mcfarland and decided to save yourself by putting the crime on some body else?"
 "No sir. I had no thought of getting out of it by laying it on anybody. began to think about my past life and the unnatural monster I had been and l did not care much what happened to me l was afraid to die, for I came to believe the grave didn't end 1t all It was after I secured Bible from a mis- sionary society in Chicago that I came to the conclusion I would be forgiven if I made clean breast of 1t all and I have never been in doubt from that moment"
 Several times Attorney Richardson at tempted to stop Orchard, but he was prevented by Attorney Hawley.
 When Orchard paused at last Richard son sneered:
 Did Mcfarland help you in this speech?"
 "No. sir' replied Orchard, calmly
 Orchard said he once told Steve Adams in the penitentiary that if anything hap pened to him to rip letter from where he had it sewed in his vest and send it to his brother.

 Orchard said he had once been a mem- Der of Colburn (Canada) lodge of Masons. He knew Peabody. Bell, Goddard and others whose lives he attempted were high degree Masons. He didn't know that Steunenberg was, however.
 At this point luncheon adjournment was taken.
 After recess, Orchard was questioned about his contemplated suicide He said this was some time after he had confessed. As to his confession, he said he felt he owed 1t as a duty to his God, his coun- try, society and himself Where did you get that language?"
