TO RESUME TRIAL
PENROsE COURT MARTIAL TO BE
 AGAIN TAKEN UP.
Captain Maelklin Among the Important Witnesses Promised For the Week in BrownsvilIe Hearing--Other
 Witnesses

San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 10--The Pen rose court martial will be resumed at the departmene headquarters tomor- row. While the prosecution has al- ready placed three or our interesting witnesses upon the stand. 1t Is eXpec- ted the testimony this week will bring out the army side" of the' case.
 It is very probable that Captain F. A. Macklin, who is also to be tried in con ncction with the Brownsville raId. will go on the stand in the Penrose case during this week.
 Aside from Captain Macklin, other witnesses from the army will be Second Lieutenants Lawrasen and Bier of the z5th Infantry and Sergeant Major Epottswood N Taliaferro. of the 18th Infantry, who was the only negro sta- toned at Fort Brown not discharged. Taliaferro's not being discharged is ac counted for by the fact that he was at- taehed to none of the three companies at Fort Brown nor was his name con- tained in the presidential order.
 Major August NJ. Biocksom, inspector general, has already testified in a pre- siminary matter in the Penrose trial. This does not. however. affect other testimony he Is expected to give
 Major Combe of Brownsville, who did much to pacify the feelings of the likely go on the stand this week. It is expected he will prove very interest ing witness.
 Just how important the Penrose court martial Is considered is evidenced by the fact that the transcript of the proceedings is daily forwarded to Che War Department, The evidence of each day is Immediately transcribed, one copy going to the War Department, duly authenticated, another given to the accused's counsel, the third copy remaining in possession of the court.

ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION.
President of New York Life Issues
 Circular to Public

Circular to Public.
 New York, Feb. 10.-A circular let ter issued to policyholders by Alexan- der F.. Orr, President of the New York Life Insurance. Company. was made public today.
 MT. Orr goes into the present condi- tion of the company's affairs declaring that they are being economically con ducted. Concerning the reports that that the policyholders funds were used in favor of one of the tickets for trustees at the recent election. MT. Orr declares the companys representatives were forbidden to use such funds or to take up time of sala lied employees in business hours and to the best of his knowledge, Not dollar of the policy holders money was improperly spent"
 He also stated that the charge against the company of impeding the progress of the election is equally un- true.
 On the subject of the company's finances, MT. Orr says that in 1906 there was heavy shrinkage of bonds of unexceptionable quality but the company suffered little as a result, be- cause its statement placed the bonds at their book value. Notwithstanding this depression. he asserts that the as sets of the company increased nearly $39, 100000 in 1906 and the gross ex- nearly s10,000,000 more than it was at the close of 1905.
 President Orr closes his letter with the following statement:
 If my wishes are observed and I think they will be, my connection with tho company in any official capacity will be short"

 The instrument with which the deed was committed had a sharp point It might have been an ordinary pocket knife. He could offer no opinion of the position of the assailant when the blows were struck beyond that they must have been struck from in front Some of them might have been struck while the victim was standing, and the others while he was lying on the ground. This, however, was only SUD- position. Finley must have been fac. ing his combatant. The blows could not have been struck by Finley him self.
 It was a hard blow which caused death. The weapon must have been wielded with great force.
 Siemund Well stated he roomed in the house where Finley resided. He had not seen Finley the night before. He had been informed by house ser want Sunday morning that Finley had hCen found dead He. with several others in the house, had opened the dead mans trunk 10 search for certain papers, life insurance policy and tho mans sisters address.

LABOR UNIONS
GREET HAYWOOD

DENVER, Aug. 5.-The celebration
wood, secretary treasurer of the West
ern Federation of Miners, who was &C
quilted at Boise, Idaho. on the charge
of conspiring of murder former Gov
ernor Steunenberg, was curtailed last
night by reason of the lateness of the
hour at which he arrived Plans for q
great gathering of people at tire union
station, to be followed by a monster
open air meeting, were abandoned
yesterday when 1t became known that
Mr.. Haywood had postponed his de-
parture from Salt Lake day on ac-
count Of the condition of John Murphy,
general counsel to the federation, who
was reported as dying.
Instead a committee of 100 tabor
unionists representing practically all
the labor organizations of the city was
selected to receive Haywood In the
name of the UNIONS, and on next Thurs
day general meeting Of labor unions
will be held to formulate plans for a
meeting in the future at which Mr..
Haywood will be given a great recep-
ton and at which he will be the prin-
cipal speaker. All this depends. how
ever, on whether or not Haywood
wants such a demonstration, and he
has not as yet definitely indicated his
willingness to be so honoreo.
Last night several thousand persons
gathered outside the union station
while within the gates leading to the
yard platform were hundred or more
persons, including newspaper men
committeeman and employees Of the
station.
AS the Denver and Rio Grande trair
bringing Haywood and party rolled
intothe depot at 10:45 o'clock, five
minutes behind schedule. those inside
the gates quietly walked toward the
train and along the side Of the cars
until the one occupied by Haywood and
his friends was reached. Haywood
could plainly be seen through the cal
windows, but no cheering was INDUCED
in until after the news became cir
culated that Murphy was in as goot
condition as could be hoped for, and
then the privileged people of the depot
began to move restlessly toward the
steps Of the car occupied by Haywood
