WILL NOT OBEY.
Secretary Shepard Strongly Against
SimpIified Spelling.

Los Angeles, July 12.-SecretaTy
Sheppard of the National Educational
association stated after adjOurnmentof
the convention that unless so ordered
by the executive committee he would
not record the vote in the meeting to-
day upon the subject of simplihed
spelling, inasmuch as it ordered him to
use the simDlified form of 300 words in
publications of the association. an as
sumption of authority in open mfeting
which he regarded as properly belong
ing to active members alone or TO the
board of directors. He stated that
there was no precedent of constitu-
tionaI authority for such a vote in an
open session, and that he would not
comply with the mandate as the mat
ter now stood. Rather, he would obey
the order of the board of directors Of
yesterday in striking three of the sim
plified words from the list of twelve
previously used by the association. The
words struck out were "thrO," tho"
and "thoro."

Defense VIII Put On Its Last Direct Witness
This Morning and Examination Will
Be Short
RebuttaI and S-rebuttaI viii Probably Be Concluded Next
Week-ConCIllSion of Defendants Testimony.

peatedly asked permission to explain
when he thought there might be some
misunderstanding. Notwithstanding
this subdued air of consideration, of
quiet speech and courteous bearing,
there was not a moment throughout
the three hours of cross examination
that the atmosphere did not tingle with
possibilities. Once when Senator BOr-
an pressed Haywood as to his senti-
ment toward former Governor Steun-
enberg, Haywood said quietly and with
a smile, 'I felt no different toward
Steunenberg, Senator, than 1 do
toward you, or any of these people"
Senator Borah looked up quickly, but
he did not smile. He said very quiet
ly, Eyes, 1 have been given to under
stand something of that SORT" and did
not pursue the subject.
Nothing Held Back.
Much of Haywood's testimony today
was a repetition in detail of what
Meyer said yesterday. Haywood, how
ever, made no effort to deny his knowl-
edge of Orchard and his affairs or his
connection with SimpkiEs. He was
pressed closely as to the passage of
kilograms relating to the engagement
of counsel to defend Orchard and in
this connection admitted that he knew
that there was no record of any report
from Simpkins to the officials of the
Western federation. Like Meyer, Hay
wood had never heard of Orchard s
claim that he had lost his interest in
the Hercules mine because of the trou-
bles in the Occur d'Alenes. Haywood
explained the draft sent to Simpkins
for 800 on Dec. 81, 1905, on the ground
that Simpkins had left the money with
y 4cr- s. Ivzar l. i
acknowledgement of the receipt of the
money and has not heard from Simp-
kins since that time. Haywood said
he never told Pettibone that he had
sent this money to Simpkins. In his
opening speech, Mr.. Darrow said it was
doubtful If the defense would attempt
TO explain the copy of the letter re-
ceived by Orchard while he was In Jail
in Caldwell, in which he said that was
sent on Dec. 81" In his testimony Or
chard said that this letter was in re-
ply to one from him to Pettibone ask
ing for 800.
DeniaIs Were Emphatic.
Haywood in many particulars con-
firmed Orchard, but where Orchard
connected Orchard or the Western fed
Grafton with crime the witness was
very emphatic and prompt in his de-
n1alS. he showed no hesitation or de-
sire to conceal the fact that Orchard
had visited him at his house or that he
on different occasions had intimate
conversations with Orchard. He de-
nounced the administration of Colora-
do at the time of the troubles as cor
rupt and he extolled the value of the
Western federation. Throughout Hay
wood rang the note of antagonism to
what he calls the capitalistic class and
his confirmed view that only by such
methods as those followed by the
Western federation can the working
man hope to control the situation.

the time being equally divided between
his own counsel and Senator Borah,
who conducted the cross examination.
Haywood's testimony in his own behalf
practically closes the side for the de-
Tense. One witness will be called to-
morrow morning and his examination
will take up about fifteen minutes.
Counsel for the defense will then an
nounce their close and the state will
begin the rebuttal unless motions to
strike out certain parts of the evidence
should be brought forward by the de-
Tense. Counsel for the state announce
their willingness to abide by the in
.structions of the court to the jury and
fYill not occupy time with the argu-
fnents on motions TO strike.
Nearing the End.
\ There is now a prospect that the
Ease may be brought to a conclusion
within two weeks. The state expects
Ito close the rebuttal by Wednesday or
bThuIsday next. The defense expresses
( the opinion that the surrebuttal will
Nbe in by Saturday. Under these cir

fof this month.
\ The cross examination Of Haywood
commenced this morning within an
hour after the opening of court. BY
This time every seat was taken. The
announcement that Senator Boran
would cross examine brought out an
Unusually large attendance. 1t was
Nluite evident that the spectators were
hot alone in their expectation of some
thing interesting. When Clarence OAR
ROW, Haywoods counsel, closed the di-
rect examination of his client and quiz
ketly remarked, You may cross exam
o. me-" the prisoner witness turned in his
Hhair and faced Mr.. Borah, his face
bals and jaws firm set.
Silence at Once Prevailed.
I There was stir in the courtroom
and then absolute silence. The first
questions and answers came in such
lsubdued tones that Mr.. Richardson, of
tHayWood's counsel, asked the witness
10 speak up. Borah's cross examina-
ton, always rapid fire, was more than
usually quick today, but from the first
TO last, Haywood preserved complete
self-possession and control. At times
,his replies came as quickly as the
questions were flung at him. Again
he would hesitate and speak slowly
with a marked emphasis. His voice.
low and musical, was seldom raised ex-
cept once OF twice when a fiat denial
was given Borah's manner was cour-
teous throughout, but now and then a
-tinge of sarcasm appeared as he in
sisted on a direct answer and Hay
wood appeared reluctant.
Both Were Courteous.
Haywood in turn was as courteous
as the cross examiner Invariably he
addressed Borah as Senator" and re-

TOLL CHARGES
UPON FREIGHT
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Decides an important
Case from California.

Washington, July IA case of partic-
ular importance to San Francisco and to
the Pacific coast generally was decided
today by the interstate commerce COM
mission, the opinion being rendered by
Commissioner Lane. 1t was what Is
known as the San Francisco toll case
which involves the right Of the Southern
Pacific company to charge as part of
its rate to San Francisco a state toll of
cents per ton 1t appears that the
Southern Pacific reaches San Francisco
by two lines, the ogden roulette traffic
by which is ferried from Oakland to San
FranciscC-and the Coast line, which en-
tiers the city by an all rail route. The
water front of the city has it's title in the
state of California and the state harbor
commissioners have fixed a schedule of
tolls upon merchandise passing over
tering San Francisco by Oakland the toll
charge has to be paid to the state. The
Southern Pacific company, however,
charges the same toll on freight which
reaches San Francisco by the all-rail
route, on which the toll does not have to
be paid to the state.
Contention of Defendant.
In the hearing of the case the defend
ant COntended that it was entitled TO
make the toll charge upon shipments
which did not cross the bay, because it
might properly impose on transcontinen-
TAI business any rate, not unreasonable IN
itself, IN which 1t could get in competi-
ton with water carriers, and therefore
might include in its rate an amount
equivalent to the state toll.
In its decision the commission says:
This argument is adroit, but does not
appeal to conclusive. The tariff
would make it appear that this toll
charge was actually imposed upon all
freight entering San Francisco. This, we
perceive, is not the fact The history
of this toll provision leads US to the
conclusion that it was never intended
as a part of the transportation rate.
Moreover, the law does not contemplate
that rate shall be made by including
charges which the carrier does not in
fact meet.
1T will be ordered, therefore, that the
defendant the Southern Pacific company,
shall strike from It's tariffs applicable to
coast line business that paragraph quoted
in this opinion entitled Toll at San Fran
cisco, Cal, and shall cease and desist
from making any charge for toll at San
Francisco, Cal, when such toll charge is
not actually paid by the carrier"

olutiOns, principal among which was one

which shall embrace not only a broader
patriotism, but a more extended course
of moral instruction. especially in regard
to the rights and duties of citizenship, the
