The seats outside the bar were not more
than half filled when court opened TINS
morning at 9 o'clock. J. T. Pender, the
detective from Ogden, who arrested Steve
Adams in a fruit car at Ogden, was re-
called. Senator Borah stated TO the court
that in the statement made by Orchard
and the testimony of Pender upon the
stand yesterday that Steve Adams sent a
telegram TO Haywood, thus linking Steve
Adams. as a co-conspirator, with Hay
wood, the state had tie right to intro
tiuce Pender's testimony as TO his knowl-
edge OF the contents of the telegram.
Judge Wood said he had no doubt as to
Abe admissibility Of the evidence, but
ruled that the state must lay foundation
TO show that the original telegram had
been destroyed. Senator BOrah argued
at some length and quoted authorities
Mr. Richardson argued that there was no
possible rule of law under which the
evidence could be introduced. For the
sake Of argument he admitted that
Adams sent the telegram to Haywood
when he was stranded and beating his
way back 10 Denver from mining camp
in California, but maintained that this
could not be strained to mean that a cou-
spiracy existed between Steve Adams and
HAYWOOD.

Russian Duma Failed to Live
Up to the Ideal Laid Down
in UkaSe of the Gar.
HISTORY OF PARLIAMENT
NEW ELECTION TO BE HELD
NOV. IA.

St. Petersburg, June 16.-Emperor
Nicholas affixed his signature this
morning to an imperial ukase abolish
ing the present douma and ordering
that the elections of members to its
successor, which is TO meet Nov. IL. be
held under the new election law.
The dissolution of the Russian ddma
followed the refusal of that body TO
permit the arrest of number of its
members on the charge of coDspiring
against the state. 1t has been freely
predicted ever since the lower house
first met, March 5, that its dissolution
was only question of time, and the
many official denials never carried con-
Viction.
The history of this duTna, like its
predecessor, has been one of almost
constant clashes with the government.
This, i'm spite of the fact that a con-
sistent effort was made in some quar-
tiers to make the duma an effective
legislative body and that the govern
ment's program for legislation con-
tanned a number of real reforms. The
cabinet declared it would give parlia-
ment every chance to justify its exist
ence. The deputies, however, were in
sistent on radical changes, and their
persistence resulted in what amounts
to a charge by the government that
the duma was a shelter for conspiracy
and treason.

CONFESSED TO
MANY MURDERS
Crazy Man Who Gave Himself
Up at Los Angeles a CrImi-
nal With a Record.

Los Angeles, Cal. June 15.-The man
who yesterday delivered himself into
the hands of the police, admitting that
he had committed a murder in Yates
vile, Pa, several years ago, the re-
morse for which ne said was driving
him insane, has been identified as
James McNulty of YatesviIle. Pa, by
George Martin, formerly a resident of
that city, and now of Los Angeles.
Yatesvine is a small town in the north
ern part of Pennsylvania. Several
years ago, according to Martin, a
young man sitting in company with a
lady under a tree was approached
from behind and shot in the back. The
young man died, but before expiring
recognized the man who shot him and
who subsequently fed the country. To-
day the man under arrest here admit
ted that he had killed a young man
named Jack Sdrtain in Yatesville,
much in the same manner as described
by Martin. He also confessed to the
killing of Kate McDermott in Yates
vile because, he said, she had per-
suaded his sister to go to a fortune
teller, who predicted the fathers
death. The latter was accidentally
killed in a short time after. He said
his only reason for killing the McDer-
mott girl was that she had been instru-
mental in his fathers death. The pris-
oner also told of the killing of Mike
Muharin and his brother, which oc-
CURED in the vicinity of Yatesyille. He
claimed to know who the guilty par
tics in this killing were although he
said he did not participate in it. Mar
tin, the former resident of Yatesville,
remembered something of all these
crimes, and said they comprised a Sc
ries of mysteries that have never been

Boise, Idaho, June 15.-In support
OF its case against William D. Hay
wood, charged with the murder Of
Frank Steunenberg, the state today
submitted to the jury the testimony
OF an even dozen witnesses tending to
confirm several details OF the story OF
Harry Orchard, and at adjournment
announced that It would close its case
next week. The announcement as to
the conclusion Of the prosecutions case
was a surprise to the defense and was
very clearly pleasing to the prisoner
and his counsel. 1t came in response
to a request from the defense for no
tice from the state as to the time it
should assemble it's witnesses, and Sem
ator Borah, who spoke for his side,
gave next Wednesday as the time. He
later explained, however, that he had
given an early day in order to avoid
delay, and as the trial now stands ad-
journed until Tuesday morning, the
Prosecution would not be able to con-
clude before the end of the week.
Peabody Tells His Tale.
Among today's witnesses were former
Governor Peabody and his daughter,
Miss Cora Peabody, but neither was
on the stand very long. 1t was antici-
pated that the defense would extend
eddy cross-examine Governor Peabody
and open the entire contention involved
in the Colorado labor law, but noon
recess conference of the united coun-
sci for the defense decided that it
would be better tactics TO refrain from
doing so.
Against a sustained fire of objection
and motions to strike out and along a
record Photographed with exceptions by
the defense to the rulings of Judge
Wood, the prosecution succeeded in Sc
curing the admission of much evidence
bearing on points of Orchards tale.
First there was a showing that Steve
Adams. stranded at Ogden in June,
1903. on the way home from California,
where, it is alleged, he went TO kill
Bradley, sent a telegram to Haywood
at Denver for money.
Drafts in Evidence.
Next il showed by the originals of
six drafts on New York banks. five OF
which were purchased at the First Ma
tional bank of Denver, by Haywood
himself, that during 1904, 1905 and 1906
money was frequently RENTED by
HAYWOOD to l.. ]. Simpkins, former
member of the executive board of the

packing house teamsters. The teamsters
have reduced their demand for an in

The packers have offered an increase to
certain teamsters, but not general raise

| simmons" came TO Caldwell with
Harry Orchard and assisted in the first
attempt to kill Steunenberg. The last
draft sent in January, after the muir
der, was cashed by Mrs. Simplzins, pre-
sumably after Simpkins had fed.
After that came the production of
the shattered and twisted fragments
of the device by which the indicator
bomb was set off and this led to an
extended inquiry by the defense into
conditions and events centering about
Cripple Creek during strike and mar
tial law days. The defense tried to
show that there had been unwarranted
deportation of union miners. that the
stores had been looted, that agents of
the mine owners had committed acts
of violence and melted others to vio-
lence, that union miners had been
f1ogged and driven from their homes
and that peace officers controlled by
the mine owners had employed depu-
ties who were gun-fighters, thugs and
criminals.
Bomb Found in River.
Next the state completed the legal
history Of the Peabody bomb. first by
showing that it was Dug out of the
ice in the Occur d'Alene river, then
that it was brought to Boise and taken
on to Denver, and lastly by Identify
ing its casing in court by the plumber
who made it. The Peabody family was
present during this testimony and
watched the bomb cover every moment
that it was displayed before the wit
ness stand.
Then the state once more took up
the general thread of Orchards story
and successfully offered the testimony
Of Miss Peabody to the incidents re-
lated by Orchard where he and Steve
Adams followed the Peabody carriage
home. the evidence Of Governor Pea
body that he had seen Orchard in
Canon City and that he had repaired
his home as Orchard testified, testi-
mony showing that at various times in
| 1905 Haywood, Pettibone and Orchard
were seen together, a general confir-
nation by William Vaughn OF the trip
that Orchard and Vaughn made TO
Canon City, and lastly, proof that
Steve Adams was at POcatello in Sep

BIG EXTENSION
Of THE SERVICE
Postmaster General Meyer Will
Add to the List of Money
Order Offices.
ISSUES ORDER ON SUBJECT
EMPLOYEES EXPECTED TO AID
THE GOVERNMENT.

Washington. June 15.-Of the $4,000 post
offices in the country, at any one of
which registry business may be transact
ed, only 3SOOO Inclusive of 1900 stations),
art authorized to do money order bust
ness. While doubling the feasibility of
extending money order facilities to all
postoffioes, Postmaster General Meyer. to
meet as far as practicable the needs of
the business public and promote its con-
venience in the transmission of money
through the mails, today issued the fol-
lowing order:
"1n furtherance of the scheme of this
department to promote public conven-
fence il has been decided to materially
extend the advantages now offered by
the postal money order system as a
means of safely transmitting money
through the mails by the establishment
offices not now authorized TO transact
such business.
Demand for Extension.
Recognizing the fact that there is a
demand on the part of the public for this
extension, the department expects to be
aided In carrying out its policy in this re-
Spect by the earnest cooperation or Its
employees and of pOstmdsters and all 9TH
ers connected in any way with the postal
service.
Power to establish money order bust
ness at postoffices is by law vested in
the interests of the public in the exercise
of his discretion as 10 which postOffices
shall issue and pay postal money orders.
TT must be understood that the depart
ment will not brook interference on the
part of it's officers or employees with the
policy above outlined. and il is enjcined
upon all connected with the service to use
effort to promote the of postal orders
for remittances by mail.
Penalty for Failure.
Failure on the part of any postmaster
or postoffice employee to adhere to the re-
quirements of this order will endanger
the official position of the delinquent.
Failure to subscribe thereto on the part
of any applicant for a position as post
master will practically void his chance
for reappOintment.
1t is the intention of the postmaster
1t is the intention of the postmaster gen
eral to extend the money order facilities
from cities in the immediate future to
many thousand of offices. his belief being
that they will be beneficial alike to the
department and to the people.
= Postmaster General Mayer will recon-
mend to the next congress that legislation
be enacted providing for the introduction
of postal notes for sums not exceeding
$50 or perhaps s.. which may be issued
without the filing of written application
or the sending of an advice. and be OBJ
tainable not only at all money order Of
fees. but at many of the smaller post
offices where ii may not be feasible to
issue money orders.
