New Device For MaiilCars.

CHICAGO, July 2.-The government
has pr Practically decided to adopt q
new device for delivery of mail from
rapidly moving trains. The new con.
trivance is called the Burr Mail Ex-
change. Its general use by the rail.
roads will, it is said, obviate wrecks
and personal injury which frequently
occur from throwing mail sacks from
mail trains running at high speed.
The Burr Exchange has been se.
lected after 2,110 severe tests, which
were conducted In 1906 and 1907.
Some OF the trials were made in actual
service on the Rock Island fast mail
trains and at six stations between Des
Moines and Atlantic City. As a re-
suit Guy Adams, the mail expert OF
the Rock Island, reported that the de-
vice had accomplished q great deal
more than the government had asked
OF 1t.
1t will require at least S45, possibly
$50, to equip each mail car with the
new device. Mail is delivered from a
trap door placed in the car door and
operated by air.

G.. N. Pleads ~"Not.Guilty."

New YORK, July 2.-Counsel for
the Great Northern railroad today en-
tered a plea of not guilty in the United
States court to the indictments for al.
legged violation OF the Elkins rebating
act. The federal indictment charges
that the Great Northern granted con-
cessions on westbound shipments Of
sugar to the American Sugar Refining
company. Before pleading the Great
Northern interposed demurrer to the
indictment, on the ground that the
facts alleged, il true, did not consti-
tu,e an offense within the purview Of
the existing statutes and also ques'
tioning the constitutionality of the
Elkins law. Judge Haugh overruled
the demurrer. The case will come to
trial in the fall.

track of the Oregon Short Line at
Beck's Hot Springs, about five miles
from this city, explodeditoda y, Earring
heavy buildings in this city and
causing considerable excitement for q
time. No one was killed, but two men
were injured.
A local passenger train on the Ore.
gon Short Line was due just about the
time of the explosion, and but for the
presence of mind Of the engineer,
many lives would have been lost.
Seeing a burning a ahead, the
engineer brought his train to a stand.
still and then sent it backing at full
speed. He had taken the train about
a quarter of a mile when the powder
exploded, breaking every window in
the train and throwing passengers out

temporarily cut off, as every pole in
the neighborhood went down. Window

abound in euphemisms Of the kind,
which go back to a superstitious re-

SOMEBODY IS A LIAR.
Part Of Orchards Testimony Con
tradicted BY Several Witnesses.

BOISE, July 2.-Max Malich, an.
other of the men implicated by the
testimony of Harry Orchard, made his
appearance today as a witness in be-
half Of William d. Haywood. He di.
rectly c~ontradicted all of Orchards
story relating to him.
Malich was the leader of the Aus.
trian smelter workers at Globeville,
and conducted a saloon. store and
hotel there during the strike. Or.
chard testified that Malich proposed
to him that he dynamite q hotel at
Globeville filled with non.union men,
and offered him 800 to blow up the
store OF William Mcdonald, . bust.
ness rival, and privately informed the
prosecution that Malich had burned
himself with "Pettibone DOPE" and
that Malich had agreed to help him
with an alibi when he killed Detective
Lyle Gregory.
Malich said that Orchard had pro.
posed the blowing up Of the n%on.union
hotel and the killing of Mcdonald and
that he refused to have anything to do
with them. He also denied any know.
ledge of "Pcttibone DOPE" Orchard
told him that he would have been rich
had it not been for Governor Steun-
enberg, and that he would kill him.
An interesting witness just before
adjournment was Edward lei artland,
brother Of Detective James Mop art.
land, head of the western division OF
the Pinkerton agency. MCFARLAND
gave a graphic description of his de-
p~ortation from Victor, where he was
a shoemaker at the time of the riots,
He swore that he was submitted to
many indignities and sent away from
the town with other men.
"We will not call to exceed 9 dozen
witnesses in rebuttal and some OF then
will occupy much time in their direc'
examination" is the statement made
by Senator Borah, chief counsel fol-
the state this morning.
$50 far as the deportations from
Cripple Creek are concerned they hav.
no bearing on the murder Of ex.Gov
ernor Steunenberg and there is NJ
necessity for any evidence from alons
that line. We do not dispute that tn
deportations took place o do WI
discuss the legality or the illegalit!
of the action Of the military author
tiles or the governor. The evidence
of the defense itself shows that nom
of the deportations began until afte1
the crime of blowing up the 1ndepend
ence depot occurred. All the depor
tations were due to the actions of tn
military under the orders of Governo
