IT WOULD PLEASE RUSSIA.
Leading St. Petersburg Paper Hopes
America and Papan viii Fight.

St Petersburg.--The Novoe Vre-
mya express delight at the present
state of the relations between Japan
and the United States; says that 1t
hopes for the worst; states that the
controversy over minor happenings
in California is "a mere blind; as
serts that Japan is ambitious to con-
troll the trade of the Pacific by the
quasi open door, and adds that she Is
representing herself as being the In
jured side.
Continuing. the Novoe Vremya re-
marks:
Japan cleverly negotiated agree
ments and alliances with European
powers, warded off the possibility OF
coalition against her, and narrowed
her opponents down to a single
enemy, this time America, who, like
Russia, is at disadvantage, lacking
an army and navy on two oceans.
The American tenure of the Philip
pines is virtually sufferance at the
will of Japan, but it will give Ameri-
ca time to prepare for their defense"
The Novoe Vremya indicates that
Russia will be forced to observe a
neutral attitude.

DISPOSITIONS ARE READ
N THE HAYWOOD CASE
Both Sides Profess Their Satisfaction
Over showings Made at Mondays
Hearing.

Boise. Idaho--Part OF the San Fran
cisco dispositions dealing with the
Bradley explosion were read on Mon
| day to the jury that Is trying William
ID. Haywood Cor his life on the charge
| that he murdered Frank Steunenbere
| and the rest of them were presented
Tuesday. The reading began directly
| after the court sat with Clarence
barrow and Senator Botah alternating
| for their respective sides.
Both sides seemed to be satisfied
with the showing made by dispositions
and their contents will probably fur
nish much material for directly op-
posed contention when the trial reach
es the argument stage. One objec-
ton from the state constituted the
sole interruption for the day, and dur
ing all the rest of the time counsel
for both sides seemed united in get
ting all the matter In the sworn
statements before the jury.
The state counted 1t victory that
Fred Bradley had receded from his
first and positive statement that II
was gas explosion and was prepared
TO believe that bomb might have
been used. Bradley's first statement
was made before he knew of Harry
Orchards confession or any of the
other evidence locating Orchard in
the vicinity of his house.
The prosecution was also pleased to
have II shown that while Bradley was
still inside the door when the explo-
sion occurred, particles of glass from
the door, hairs from the rug that was
outside the door and pieces of stone
and cement from the mosaic floor of
the vestibule were blown into his
body. II will be contended that this
shows conclusively that the explosion
was from the outside and could not |
house.
The defense. ON the other hand is |
satisfied that the dispositions show that
L would have been impossible for Or
rhard to have reached the vestibule
and placed the bomb in the manner
and time described by him, that the
evidence and particularly the effect
'f the explosion shows that a gas leak
vas the cause, that there were not
wo explosions. and that Orchards

USED INTERNAL MACHINE.
Two Miners Killed in Explosion
Planned by Unknown Persons.

Collinsville, characterization by
State Mine Inspector Walton Rutledge
has revealed, according to his state
ment, that an internal machine, made
by placing a loaded revolver in a
tool box containing twenty-five pounds
|of giant powder, and connecting the
trigger by copper wire to the lid of
the box, caused the explosion in Con-
solidated Mine No. II, costing the
lives of Louis Colonia and August
Genetti. John w. Fish, miner, was
dangerously injured.
Superintendent Fred Houck of the
mine found a blackened revolver near
the tool box with a wire fastened to
the trigger. He called the evidence
To the attention of the state mine in
spector and an investigation resulted.
Superintendent Houck said he had not
been able to learn that any trouble
existed among the miners and could
not account for the evident attempt at
wholesale killing.
