Orchard Hopes to
Secure Freedom to
Become Missionary

Salt Lake City.-A special to the
Tribune from Boise, Idaho, announces
that plans are well under way for the
presentation to the state board of par
dons early In the year Of a petition to
parole Harry. Orchard, seif.cOnfessed
murderer Of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg, who was blown to pieces
BY time-bomb planted at his gate
at Caldwell on the night Of December
81, 1905.
Certain members Of q religious de-
nomination Of Idaho are behind the
movement to get Orchard out of the
penitentiary. Their plan is to have
him granted permission to leave the
country after few months and place
him in a foreign mission field as a
worker and teacher. especially to teach
trades to the men among whom he will
be placed.
Harry Orchard was sentenced to be
hanged by Judge Fremont Wood at
Caldwell, March 18, 1908 Governor
GOoding c0mmuted his sentence to life
Imprisonment.
Orchard was arrested January /,
1905, at Caldwell. He later confessed
to having set the bomb at the gate of
the Steunenberg home which killed
the former governor. His confession
led to the arrest and later the indict-
ment Of Charles H. Meyer, president
Of the Western Federation of Miners
William d. Haywood, secretary-treas-
urer of the same order, and George
PettibOne, former member Of the ex-
ecutive board. Haywood and Petit
bone were tried and acquitted and the
case against Meyer was dismissed.
At the trial of Haywood, Orchard
confessed to a long series of crimes,
chiefly bomb outrages. He said the
union officials under indictment en-
couraged him in his depredations and
supplied him with money, Failure Of
the prosecution to produce evidence
I'm support Of his declaration, however,
resulted In the acquittal Of the two
and the dismissal of the charge against
the third.
Orchard pleaded guilty on March 10,
1908, and was sentenced to be hanged
May Is. He Iwas afteEward granted
reprieve until Sdulys5, and on July l,

interest on our road bonds. In the
year 1928 we shall pay the $50, 900

year 1929, we shall pay total of
$4,000; in the year 1880, $4,000
and So on, $4,000 less each succeed
ing year until, in the year 1889, the

STATEMENT ISSUED
 BY FILIBUSTERERS
Tennessee Representative ExpjIains Why They eft State to Block Pas
 sagc of Suffrage Bil.

Decatur. Ala. Aug. 23.-Mem bers Of the Tennessee houss of representa- . tives here today issued a statement addressed to the people of Tennessee, setting forth their reasons for break ing quorum in the house by leaving the state. It bears the signatures of 37 members of whoS.I 27 arc demo- crats and 10 republicans.
 The statement says they left the state ''tn order to prevent the passage of the resolution ratifying the suf- frage amendment to tho constitution of the United states. and adds:
 We are convinced that the meth ods which were adopted to secure the passage of the resolution were im- proper and not justified.
 We believe the majority of the people Of Tennessee do not favor the ratification of said amendment.
 Tt seemed to us that under con- ditions existing at Nashville. under the pressure Of a lobby and the de- mands made by agencies which should not havo been employed, tn, only proper course for us to take was to absent ourselves from the state for a period of time sufficient for the peo- ple of Tennessee to express them seIve-."
 The statement urges the people of Tennessee to hold mass meetings next Saturday to indicate their will.

WILL INVESTIGATE
 EXPRESS TRAIN WRECK
Coroner Wynne Expected in Meriden Today For
 That Purpose.

Meriden. Aug. 23.-Deputy Coroner Wynne is expected in Meriden today or early tomorrow to make inquiries and to visit the scene of the wreck of the New York rk-Springfield express at Holt's Hill late Saturday afternoon and he will hold a formal hearing in New Haven tomorrow afternoon at 2:30. The coroner will probably in terview Joseph Handyside, engineer, of Springfield. the survivor of the trainmen in the engine cab, who is at the Meriden hospital with his legs badly burned from steam. Handy side apparently cannot offer an ex- planation of the cause of the wreck, saying it happened "all of a sudden" and he explains his presence in the cab with Engineer George F. Bill, who was scalded to death. by the statement that Inc was learning the road. Bills body was taken to his home in Hartford yesterday and the body Of William F.. Cotter. the fire man. who died at the Meriden hos pital last night from his burns, was removed this morning to his home in pringfield. Handyside was the only one of the wreck victims at the hos pital today. Brakeman William Cor rigan, also burned, was taken to his home in Hartford yesterday. The es- cape from serious injury of passen- gers in the two Pullman coaches that piled up when the engine plowed into a vineyard bank continues source of wonder. Tne wreckage has all been removed and the tracks re- placed so that no evidence of the cause of thu wreck remains beyond an indentation in the ties for some distance before the engine reached a switch where it left the rails, giving rise to the theory that a trailing brakebeam caught into a cross rod of the switch.

 The appearance of the list brought denisls from many Of those whose names appeared.
 The investments noted ranged from f25 to t53.s35. the latter being at tributed to a man associated with Ponzi ms an agent.
 Denial that Ponzi is bankrupt was made in a petition filed in the federal court today by his counsel. The pe- tition demands that a trial by judge he ordered to determine the issue.

AUTO BANDITS ACTIVE
Local Man Secures Permit to Carry a Revolver After an Attempt is Made at Hold-up Near New Haven.

One of the leading automobile sales men in this city applied at the police station this morning for permit to carry a revolver, which after his tale was unravelled to the officer in charge. was granted. According to the appli- cant for the permit, while driving his automobil a few miles north of New Haven one night last week. an at tempt was made by two highway men to hold him up. Quick presence of mind of speeding up his car thwart- ed the intent of the highwaymen. SeT- eraI similar tales have been told of late of attempts that have been made to hold up autoists, and in one ln- stance a well known official at tho Y M. c. A. nearly fell victim. The man was returning alone from the Elm city. when he was hailed by stranger and asked for a ride. Con senting to take aboard the stranger. the local man was surprised when his passenger grappled with him, but d sharp kick from the local mans boot ended all chances of hold-up.
