ity when in fact the entire fault lies
with the correspondent.
1--WE do not know who Is the local
representative Of the Courier-Journal
but If the following item appearing in
recent issue of that paper under a
Paducah date line is a sample of his
work it does not reflect much credit
on the writer as our giving much heed
to either accuracy or truthfulness
A member of the school board
stated to the News-Democrat this
morning that aside from the state
ment regarding Col. Potter's election
there was no other true statement
made in the article. While not direct
lily saying so the inference is left that
the designations made were on ac-
count of the election of Prof. Carna-
gey as superintendent. Owing to the
wide circulation of the Courier-Jour-
nal this small news item is apt to do
Prof. Carnagey great injustice and it
is in defense of him that this correc-
ton is made
Prof. Carnagey's election met with
the highest approval of not only the
board but of the general public.
Especially was this true after his visit
to Paduoah and his apparent fitness
for the position was made manifest to
all who came in contact with the
scholarly man and splendid gentle
man who has been chosen as the SUI
perintendent of Paducah's schools.
Such misleading statements as
made by the Courier-Journals local
correspondent do Prof. Carnagey a
great injustice and the News-Demo-
crat deems it but due him to make
statement in his behalf.

ly It is in the interest of some pri-
vate enterprise OF persons associated
with that naive periodical but until
yesterday it was never known that
the paper takes sufficient interest in

and Explains Relations Between
Witness and Himself.
MANY MESSAGES MENTIONED.

Boise, July .-CrOss-examinati
of Charles Meyer was continued in
the Haywood trial today. The de-
Tense is jubilant today over the eff
feet of Meyers appearance on the
stand yesterday. Prosecution con-
eedes witness favorably impressed
the jury and court.
Charles H. Meyer besides making
a positive denial of all the crimes at
tributed to him and the other feder-
alton leaders, by Orchard, offered an
Explanation of the unsolicited appear
ance of the Western Federation of
Miners as defendants of Orchard i'm
mediately after his arrest at Cald-
well for the murder of Steunenberg.
Meyer swore that It was Jack simp
kins who engaged Attorney Miller at
Spokane to go to Caldwell to repre-
Isent Orchard, then known as Thomas
Hogan and that lit was at the re-
quest of Simpkins that the witness
and Haywood subsequently advanced
$1,000 from the funds of the fedora
ton to meet the expense of defend
ing Orchard. At various stages of
the recital the defense offered in evil
dence a number of documents includ-
ing a heretofore undisclosed cipher
telegram which Simpkins sent to fed
eration headquarters and the union
at Silver City, Idaho, covering moves
to protect the federation which was
charged with the crime a few days
after it occurred.
Meyer began by saying he got his
| first knowledge of the crime from
Denver newspapers and that on the
evening of January 4, FIVE days after
the crime. a telegram in the fedora
TONS cipher-a code in which GER

bet and published in the ritual of the
organization which was used to trans
nit the password to local unions

was long and the translation was diff
ficult and uncertain, but he and Hay
wood figured next day 1t was signed
by Simpkins and read: 'CaunOt get
lawyer to defend Hogan. Answer"
Meyer testified that he was suspie-
ious about the message, the news
papers having already charged the
crime up to the federation and that
he decided to consult John Murphy,
general counsel for the federation,
before he took any steps
Meyer said that he left for Chicago
that afternoon but that Haywood
took the matter up and opened COM
munication with the union at Silver
| City and made arrangements to en-
gage Attorney Nugent to look after
the interests of the federation and
defend Orchard if necessary. Defense
produced copies of this correspond
ence and all of 1t was read into the
record.
Continuing, Meyer said Miller came
TO Denver about the first of the fol-
lowing month, bringing with him the
record of Orchards preliminary hear
ing. Miller went to Denver at the
Suggestion of Simpkins, so the wit
ness testified, and brought a request
from Simpkins that the federation
