ROBBERY OF MORMoNs

CoLON1A OAAA1A, July li.-f eu- eral soldiers today footed the store of HaymoOre Brothers here, of several hundred dollars worth of goods. and robbed Willard Haymoore, ST, of S200 in cash. The soldiers did the work in daylight. and made no pretense of concealment. This is the second Nor mon store that has been raided, the first being at Colonia Morelos.
 When the affair was reported to the government officials they promised to investigate but it is said they made no effort to do sO although Haymoore said he could identify the robbers
 The Mormon colonists are alarmed at the reported action of the federals and will resist any attempt to bring the soldiers back toward Colonia Morelos twenty five miles east, where 500 Americans are living.
 The column under General San lines is still camped in the streets here. and shows no disposition to ad- vance, although scouting parties are said to have sighted rebels on the opposite side of the mountains A rebel scouting party of 200 has been camped at Las Varas twenty five miles east, and opposite the end of Pulpit Pass. They retired when the federal scouts were sighted but are reported to have returned today
 An official inquiry into the actions of the federal soldiers while in the Mormon colonies is being made by Mormon officials for the state depart ment at Washington
 MT. Steffens told me" he said. he BaA in, i,,I F-,- 4 capital and labor could be brought to realize that each should make some concession, and he had succeeded in making some prominent men see the useleSsness of strife and had con- vinced them that it would be wise to yield somewhat, and not demand the blood of human being. Darrow he said. had agreed to the proposal"
 At subsequent conference with Darrow and Steffens, the witness said, he was shown the memorandum of an agreement by the author. There was hitch, however, in the plan, ac- cording to Older. and it had been de- cided to have Harry Chandler, a son. in-laW of General H. G. Otis. to go to District Attorney Fredericks to gain the latter's consent to the agree ment. He gave the names of Never Lissner. Thomas W. Gibbon and Harry Chandler, as among those who were present the same afternoon at a conference which was reported to him that evening by Steffens
 At a later time Darrow had in formed him that Fredericks would not agree to any plan by which John ] :. McNamara could escape punishment. T contended," continued the witness, whose examination was conducted by the defendant himself, that Darrow would be misunderstood by labor if he agreed to the proposition" What was my attitude?" asked Darrow.
 Well you declared that you were employed to save the lives of these men. and that this personal issue should not be raised"
 The witness said that at this time he was told that nothing had been said to the McNamara brothers about the proposed agreement ''When I left for San Francisco that evening" D continued Older, "Steffens was very hopeful of the success of his plan. I considered it practically settled" During the arguments Darrow asked the prosecution to produce Bert H Franklin and John R. Harrington tomorrow morning but he did not dis close his reasons for desiring the pres ence of the states principal witnesses
