AFTER ORCHARD
Defense Presenting Strong Evi- dence to Refute Story lm-
 plicating Miners
WITNESS BAD MEMORY

Boise, Idaho, June 27.-W. F. Davis, the witness for the defense, in the case against William D. Hay wood, took the chair again to-day and Senator Borah continued the cross-examination commenced yester- day.
 Orchard commenced his story of blood curdling crime with the blow ing up of the concentrator at Ward ner by a mob of 1000 union men. The men was at that time being op- erated by non-union laborers. Orch ard told the story of the trip to Wardner when the miners captured a train and compelled the engineer to run it to Wardner. He said Davis was one of the leaders of the mob.
 The defense put Davis, a big hand some miner and an effective witness, upon the stand to contradict Orchard and tell the jury that Davis, instead of being at Wardner on that day,was in fact at the town of Gem. In the direct examination Davis made an impressive statement He told of his movements on the day of the explosion at Wardner, said that he did not know Orchard, did not belong to the union and was not at Ward ner.
 Under Senator Borah's cross-ex- animation the man stuck to the story that he was not at Wardner. He ad- mitted that he saw the train go by with some three hundred men on board all wearing masks, but said he did not know any of the men; that he took no interest in the fact that the train was going through under such peculiar circumstances. He could not give the names of any un. ion men on the train. They heard il stated later, he said, that the concen- trator of the Bunker Hill and Sulli- van mine had been blown up, but he did not learn until the following day that any one had been killed. Imme- diately afterward Davis said that he fled to the Hercules mine where he remained in hiding and then got out of Idaho, changing his name to Jones.
 The cross-examination of Davis will probably take an hour of to- days session. He will be followed by William Easterly, who was concerned in the strikes at Cripple Creek and will testify as to the Independence depot and the Vindicator mine ex- plosions. Easterly will be examined at length as to Orchards statement that Bill" Easterly was one of the men who was concerned in the plots to blow up the Independence depot.

CITY NEWS.

People are taking more interest in sessions of the board of assessors this year than ever before, and as re- suit you don't find anybody lettering around there these days. It took a long time to convince the smaller prop erty owners that they were losing money by remaining away from the assessors office during the month of June. but they finally caught on and now a string of property owners can be seen there daily, just the same as you see them on the last day for pay ing water rents and taxes without the percentage. There are only a few days more left for making out lists and tSose who have not yet complied with the law should be on the alert and get a move on them.

CROPS ALL RIGHT.
Mayor" of Wolcott Talks Crops and
 Politics,


 Mayor" Slater of Wolcott was iH Waterbury this morning and before leaving stated that people were need-I lessly alarmed about the crops. They are doing we'll now and unless some thing unexpected happens there will be an abundant harvest. In reply to- query regarding the political situ- ation his honor said that he thinks Roosevelt will be the next nominee of his party for president and that it will be almost out of the question to beat him, notwithstanding the fact that the price of everything that en- ters into the cost of living has gone up considerably since he was first mentioned as presidential cand!- date. This is true" he added, "of everything with the exception of labor, and it requires no argument to show that while the price of labor has advanced some since the coming of Roosevelt, 1t has fell far short of keeping pace with the upward strides of figures put upon every thing we eat, wear and drink, let alone material for [ building purposes, which has gone so high that there is no such thing as putting up house in which a man of modest means can afford to live"
 Mayor Slater is by no means a pes- simist, but just the same he leans to the opinion that unless something happens in the near future to check the ayarice of the trusts, man will have to go back to his primitive state of existence so far as places of shelter are concerned. and most peo- pie will agree with him.

though on the money side of the riv- airy there was not a great deal do- ing. Harvard men had been looking for Yale money, but after the shake up in the varsity eight following the illness of Gordon Glass even money offered by crimson was no particular inducement to Yale. The keenness of interest felt in the races by col- lege men was shared by the people here. for decorations of store win- dows were more general than usually and street merchants with flags. bal looms. horns. blue corn flowers and crimson carnations were everywhere In evidence.

The lane of yachts extended from the bridge al- most to the navy yard and as all had dressed ship the lines on either side were bright with moving color.
 A veteran supporter of the Yale crew said that the indications were that the varsity eight would be a great struggle in which Harvard would have a slight advantage from disturbed water. as he thought that even if the wind died away there would still be surface roughness about the same as last year, and this would place the crews relatively in the same conditions as prevailed last year. in which Yale's better form lost because in the last half mile Harvard's strength was equal to the ehoppy water. He thought the Yale four would win easily. the Harvard freshmen would struggle through with a winning margin. while the varsity race would depend on eondi- tons.

GOVERNOR HUGHES IS STRONGER
Comes Out of the Election with In
 creased Prestige

By abstaining from intervention in the canvass, the governor avoided at once the appearance of dictation and the danger of discredit. A nice regard for the duties and obligations of his office, to which his course may be at- tributed, preserved him from rebuke such as the president received from the voters of Three Cent Tom town. Had MT. Hughes allowed himself to be drawn into recognition of the Hearst Parsons merger, the outcome of the cleo tion would have injured his prestige
 As it is, the governor suffered noth- ing in public esteem from the campaign. His aloofness from partisan politics must have eemented his hold on many independent voters. He apepars, in fact, to have strengthened himself in a year when most republican statesmen added little or nothing to their reputa- tions.--New York Sun.

GOOD WILL OF MONOPOLY
Should Not Be Capitalized as if Cash
 Investment

Ex-Senator Hill was quite right in his
 argument before Judge Hough on the
 Consolidated Gas report of Master Mas
 ten in saying that a monopoly can have
 no such thing as "good will" to be capitalized at certain value The term "good vii" l" is absurd as applied to any corporation to which franchise is granted for public service. The fran chise itself is granted by public author ity to secure the service on reasonable terms, and is not property of the cor poration to be included in it's capital upon which dividends may be paid. The company does not invest in the fran chise or in the good will of a. business, and is entitled to capitalize only it's in- vestment
 One has only to consider what "good will" means to realize the absurdity of crediting it to public service corpora tion that has monopoly. Good will is gained by competition and by catering to the tastes and wishes of customers A concern which builds mp business by skillful management, by the high quality and moderate price of it's goods, and by gaining the good will of a large class of patrons, adds value to that busi- ness in excess of the capital put into the means of carrying it on. This good will is salable with the plant and appli- ances of the business, but it's value may be dissipated by change of ownership unless the superior management is kept up. Good will as business asset can only be gained where there is compe- tition and it may be lost by competi- tion.
 But chartered monopoly for a ser vice that people must have and can only get from it can have no good will with a market value or capable of being capitalized. Its business is not built up and does not prosper by the favor it wins by excellence of service and fair ness of charges in competition with others who do not do as well by custom CTS. It can do as it will and charge what it pleases, except so far as policy or public authority may forbid. It might win public favor by enlightened
