ued in ofice as a member of the ex- ecutiveN board for Idaho, an alternate being appointed to take up his duties.
 The state completed the cross exami- nation of Charles H. Mover and in dealing with his testimony directed it's strongest attack against the crcum- stances under which the federation at the suggestion of Jack Simpkins came to the relief of Orchard when arrested for killing Steunenberg.
 Senator Borah, who conducted the examination, emphasized the connec- ton of Jack Simpkins and the federa- ton and the fact that the federation without inquiry as to the guilt or inno- cence of Orchard, gave $1,500 from It's treasury to provide for his defense.
 Senator Borah questioned the wit ness closely as to the extent of the rule of the federation to defend any of its members accused of crime. Moy- CT declared that no man was defended unless the executive board decided his arrest had some connection with the federation.
 If a member of the federation should kill q man on the streets of Boise, you would not defend him un- less you felt the federation was in some way involved in the affair."" sug- gested Borah.
 That is my understanding. We would defend any one whose act grew out of a strike or whose arrest we felt was due to his connection with the Western Federation of Miners

 With the stomach that is effected by chronic indigestion, the thinness of the dyspeptic sufferer is the result of insufficient nourishment The practical. sensible remedy for such a condition is to give the stomach di- gestlye assistance rather than dose it with physic and try to stimulate it with drugs. For this purpose there Is nothing superior to Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Mrs Edward Hayes. 139 Hill street, Waterbury. Conn. says:
 ''I read in the local papers about the good Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tab lets had done some of my friends here in Waterbury and so bought a bottle at Apothecaries Hall. These tablets cured me of bad case of indigestion in three weeks time. think 1t Is the best medicine I ever used. I was unable to digest my food and I would be seized with nervous spells that would last for hours. I took all sorts of medicines. some of which seemed to aggravate the trouble Two bottles of Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tabelts made we as well as ever and I attribute my recovery to this excellent medicine and nothing else"

JAPAN'S MISGIVINGS
Marquis Ito Regrets Pacific
 Fleet Demonstration.
HARD TO ACCEPT OUR ASSURANCE.
Premier of Mikado's Empire, Re- garding Probability of War, Says, .There Is No Feeling In My
 Heart For This"

TOKYO, June 12.-The massing of the American fleet in the Pacific, about which American papers have applied to Marquis Ito for an opinion, is semi officially discussed by Ito's administra- tion organ here. The paper says:
 We cannot help feeling some mis- giving with regard to the significance of the intended massing of American battleships in the Pacific, especially in view of the grandiose announce ment attributed to President Roose- welt to the effect that the navy would furnish the world with startling demonstration of Americas defensive capacity.
 Tt is difficult for us to accept the assurance that the coming maneuvers do not possess any connection what ever with the Japanese-American sit uation. We regret that Washington thinks it necessary to take what re- sembles a precautionary measure However, we are not disposed to at tach serious importance to this matter and have no inclination to doubt the presidents sincerity in assuring the peaceful nature of the proposed ma neuvers.
 Neither have we the slightest doubt of the pacific and friendly sentiments of the American government. The people toward whom Japan's blame is probably due are the irresponsible sec tions of both nations.
 Ito declines discussion regarding the sensational agitation of the press. His sole comment on the probability of war is. There is no feeling in my heart for this'"

Haywood took oath as witness in his own defense and in lengthy narrative of his life and work as leader of his fellow miners that was interrupted by adjournment denied guilt of the mur- der of Frank Steunenberg and the manifold crimes charged against him by Harry Orchard.
 Haywood was pale and trembled with nervousness when he left the ta- ble of his counsel and walked around to the elevated witness stand, where he faced the judge and the jury and raised his right hand to be sworn. When he began to respond to Clarence Darrow's questions his voice was low and somewhat uncertain, but. within ten minutes he had regained his con- posture, and for the rest of the session Haywood was master of his feelings.

CARTHAGE, Mo-, July 12.-"Japan does not want to make war on the United States William ]. Bryan In an interview here is quoted as saying. ''Of course" he continued. there is a lot of jingoism in this Japanese war talk and the hurrying of fleet of war ships to the Pacific coast. To my mind the object is not to repel an ex- pected attack of the Japanese, but that the talk is being done by some alleged statesmen at Washington to influence congress to make a big na- val extension appropriation. When I say Japan does not want war do so advisedly, for when I was in Japan I talked with the leading men of all walks of life, and 1 found only ex- pressions of friendship for our coun- try"
