FREEDMAN ON STAND Russian Stenographer Pro- duces Correspondence of
 Pinkerton Agency. FOR HAYWOOD DEFENSE Detectives Conspired for De- struction of Western Fed
 eration of Miners.
FOR HAYWOOD DEFENSE

Boise, Idaho, July 1.-Morris Fried man, Russian stenographer, who left the employment of the Pmkerton agency at Denver to write book in which he published certain correspond erce of the agency that passed through his hands, was again to-day the prln- cipal figure at the trial of William D. Haywood for the murder of former Governor steunenberg. More than half of the courts day was occupied in reading to the jury copies of the doc uments which Friedman took from the Plnkerton records. They were chiefly the daily reports of secret agents oper- ating as spies among the unions at Cripple Creek, Victor, Globesville, Col orado City Trinidad and Denver, and showed complete surveillance of the Western Federation of Miners and the United Mine Workers of America dur ing the labor troubles in Colorado in 19Os-1904. Plnkerton men, they showed, sat in the federation convention at Denver in 1904, reporting all proceed insa
 None of the reports that were pro- duced by Friedman and read to the jury by Clarence Darrow contained other than general reference to the col lateral issues of the trial, but they were offered in substantiatlon of the charge by the defense that the Pnkerton agency conspired for the destruction of the Western Federation of Miners and the lives of the leaders

 LOW TEMPERATURE Only Three Other Similar Instances in Period of Thirty-flve Years.

In only three instances during the past thirty-five years do the records indicate lower mean temperature for June than that of the month just clos ed, which was GA degrees, and in only one year of that same period has this record been equalled. In 1882 the mean temperature for the month of June was e2, four years later it was 63 and in 1897, 64, and in 1903, 61.

LYMAN ORDERS REPORTS FOR PRESS Full and Immediate Details in Accident Cases to be Given to News
 papers. IN AN EFFORT TO
 LESSEN ACCIDENTS Outsiders Invited to Par ticipate in Hearings
 of Boards of
 Inquiry.

New York, July LA policy of in forming the public of the details of alt accidents on the railroads composing the Hartman system was put into ef- feet to-day by order of E. H. Harri- man, according to an official announce ment made by the Union Pacific Rail road company. It Is stated that Mr. Hartman has ordered that full reports shall be made and promptly given to the press concerning all accidents on the Union Pacific and Southern Pacitlc systems, and on the Oregon lines
 It Is also announced that it has been decided, as an experiment, to invite outsiders of local reputation and stand ing to be present and to participate in the hearings of the eompany's board of inquiry Into accidents, making formal reports either agreeing or disagreelng with tho findings of the board.
 The statement quotes the reports of the interstate commerce commission to the effect that over 70 per cent. of the serious collisions on American railways in the past five years were due to neg u lldlllIllCtl anu CllG AAANlilClls OAi lines protected by block signals 94 per cent. of the collisions are attributed by the commission to negligence of train men and signal operators.
 The plan to make public full details concerning accidents follows a sugges- ton made by J. Kruttschnitt, director of maintenance and operation of the Oregon lines. who said:
 Personal responsibility for accidents, whether of officers or laborers should Do known to the public. We must bring about closer observance of the rules, and greater respect for danger signals than we now get from our employees. This can be done only by hte widest publicity of the details of accidents
 The Union Pacific also announces that It's steel rails for delivery next year will be made by the open hearth pro- cess, which it is expected will decidedly lessen the number of breakagss.

AHEARN GETS LICENSE A HEATED HEARING
  Brought to Close Very Ab- ruptly by County Com
 missioners.

The application of Edward Ahearn for renewal of his license to run a saloon at the corner of State street and Grand avenue was granted yester- day morning by the county commits sioners. The hearing went over from Saturday so MT. Mossman might have an opportunity of calling more wit nesses.
 When the session opened yesterday morning, Capt Cowles of the police department was put on the stand by MT. Mossman, His testimony was to the effect that about year ago, Will liam c. Miller, ono of the oppositions best witnesses, had entered com- plaint at police headquarters, of being flceced at Ahearn's, losing some $75 on the races. The police, however, were unable to substantiate Miller's story.
 After Capt. Cowles left the witness stand, Miller took his turn. He said that year ago this month he went to Ahearn's several times and gambled on teh races He said the racing slips were destroyed after each race. Com missioner Walter took a hand in the questioning and brought out some of the facts in the case. Miller said that he started in playing the races with $75, and ended with nothing. He was asked as to what horses he backed, and on what tracks the races were held. He answered without any hesi- tation. Attorney Webb, representing MT. Ahearn in an effort to weaken Miller's testimony, called him a biga- mist and blackmailer.
 It was right after this that the fun began. Attorney Webb stated that MT. Mossman had tried to save himself by telling Ahearn that if the latter would testify that there had been gambling in his place there would be no opposi- ton to the granting of the liquor H. cense MT. Mossman was angered and said that the facts had been deliberat- -xefy misstated. No sooner would Att torney Webb make statement than ii would be contradicted by Mir. Moss- man.
 To get at the true facts in the case Mir. Ahearn was called to the stand and testified to the effect that MT Mossman had promised withdrawal of all opposition to the renewal of his license if he would say there had been gambling going on in his place, but there would be none in the future Mir Mossman said he was rnisrepresented The hearing came to an abrupt con- clusion. the wrangling continuing be- fore the commissioners, even while they were deliberating. Finally Att torney Webb asked if the hearing was not over ''Yes, it's closed, and we have decided to grant MT. Ahearn's ap- plication." A peculiar feature of the case is that William Miller was con- victed and sent to the county jail fol this gambling in Ahearn's place, while Ahearn, the proprietor, was no touched,

Continued from First Page) drivers Even on the eastside where the danger to health from the heaps of purifying refuse was rapidly be- coming very grave, hundreds of people hooted the strike breaking drivers from the windows of tenements and hurled missiles at them.
 There were a number of arrests dur ing the day of men who were accused of interfering with the work of the health department
 Police Sergeant William Duggan was seriously injured by the explosion of what the police believe was a bomb while escorting two carts in 116th street late to-day. The sergeant was blown several feet, his clothing torn and bad ly covered with powder marks He was taken to hospital suffering from shock and lacerations.
 Several of the drivers were badly beaten by strike sympathlzers before they could be rescued by the police.
 On the eastside street conditions to- night are almost unbearable The re- turn of hot weather has added to the seriousness of the situation. In places the heaps of garbage practically fill the streets and traffic is interfered with Attempts to dispose of the ac- cumulations of filth by burning have been largely unsuccessful. Children continue to play in the streets In the tenement house districts, wallowlng in the ill-smelling germ producing masses of refuse.
 But 1t is not alone the eastside that suffers. The entire city tonight is af- fected by the ill-smelling mass of filth. The health department Is still strug- gling tonight to make some impress sion on the mountainous heaps of re- fuse. but even if the full force returns to work tomorrow It will require sev- eral days of hard labor before normal conditions are restored.
