question, said that more than $4,000

vacated by the brewery strikers and
men are being hired regardless of I'M

Miners; William D. Haywood, secre-
tary-treasurer of the federation, and
George A. Pettibone, the trials OF
Haywood and Pettibone and the plea
of guilty entered by Orchard to the
charge of murder in the first degree,
the punishment for which under the
Idaho statutes is death.
In regard to the part of Orchard in
the trials Judge Wood said:
Believes Orchards Story True.
II am more than satisfied that the
defendant now at the bar of this court
awaiting final sentence has not only
acted In good faith in making the dis
closures that he did, but that he also
testified fully and fairly to the whole
truth, Withholding nothing that was
material and declaring nothing which
had not actually taken place.
1T was the particular province of
the court to observe and follow this
witness upon the former trials and I
am Of the opinion that no man living
could conceive the stories of crime
told by the witness and maintain him
self under the merciless fire of the
leading cross-examination attorneys of
the country unless upon the theory
that he was testifying to facts and cir
cumstances which had an actual exist
ence within his own experience A
child can testify truly and maintain
Itself on crOss-exam1nation: A man
may be able to frame his STORY and
testify to a brief statement of facts,
involving short single transaction
But cannot conceive of a case where
even the greatest intellect can con-
ceive story of crime covering years
OF duration, with constantly shifting
scenes and changing characters, and
maintain that story with circumstan-
t1al detail as to times, places, persons
and particular circumstances and I'M
der as merciless cross-examination
as was ever given a witness in an
American court unless the witness
thus testifying was speaking truth
fully and without an attempt either to
pisrepresent or conceal.
I'm passing upon this question it is
immaterial that juries in the two
cases tried have declared that they
were not satisfied of the guilt of the
defendants on trial. The statute of
the state imposes a bar to conviction
on the testimony of an accomplice
alone, no matter though he may be
believed by the jury, unless there is
other Independent evidence tending to
connect the defendant on trial with
the commission of crimes And, again,
In each of the cases tried, the court,
at the written request of each of the
defendants, instructed the jury that
verdict Of not guilty did not mean
that the defendant on trial was limo
GENT, but rather that his guilt had
Aot been proven beyond reasonable
doubt in the manner and form pre-
scribed by law"
Judge Wood, after reading his rul
ing, formally sentenced Orchard and
fixed May Is as the date for the exc
cution. Orchard asked permission to
speak and it was granted. He thanked
the court for the review Of the case
given and for the kindly remarks in
regard to him.

The Kind Or Aliep. wana.d n

The Kind OF Aliens Wanted Here.
There Is little doubt that the majOri.
y Of immigrants who have settled in
this country since the war days have
materially bettered their condition.
Their prosperity has added to the gen-
eral prosperity. Success has given
them an interest in their new home,
and they have tried to be worthy OF
their good fortune We can have no
quarrel with such newcomers at any
time, and there cannot be too many OF
that sort But. as President Roosevelt
said recently in his speech to the navy,
''it is our undoubted right to say what
people, what persons, shall come to
this country to live. to work, to be-
come citizens" The becoming citizens
Is the most important Of all, and IL ia
on this point that immigrants often
make a mistake.
At present 1t is best perhaps that no
aliens are wanted here who do not
intend to become citizens. There ID
no scarcity OF labor and no need OF
adding to the number Of wOrkmen.
Distribution win even up things and
get workers for every Job, a Job for
every worker. Aliens seem to have
taken the hint, and as many are going
home as are coming here. The kind
who find that they are insists are GO
Ing back. They VIII serve as n warn
Ing to the wrong kind TO keep away
from America. We have plenty Of ma
tives here who are not the kind to ego
west" The old world has millions OF
that kind. Let them stay az home.
Let those come who know what they
win be mp against here. who have
means Of self support and capital Cor
the time OF need, who can contribute
to the prosperity they want a share in
and win leave the prosperity they do
create as an asset OF the community
that welcomes them. Our oppOrtuni-
ties cost too much to become the foot
bali for every adventurer.

FUNERAL OF A SUICIDE
Woman Of Under World Travels
CarbOlic Acid Route.


CarbOlic Acid Route.
The funeral of Ruby Wilson, who
committed suicide at Harrison yes
terday, was held this afternoon from
the parlors of the Occur d'Alene
Undertaking company.
Ruby Wilson was one of the deni-
zens of st. Joe's restricted district.
During the early part of the week,
she became i'll and was taken to
the hospital for treatment. The
life she led. together with her i'll
ness, made her discouraged and de-
spondent, and yesterday morning she
committed suicide by drinking poi
son while the nurse was away.
Where she obtained the poison is
not known, but it is believed that
she had intended terminating her ex-
istence prior to going to the hospital.
and that she had it concealed on her
person when she was accepted as a
patient. An effort has been made to
locate the dead woman's relatives.
but so far 1t has proved unsuccessful.
