THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1907. 3 HAYWOOD GLARES AT HIS ACCUSER Blanches as He Hears Hawley Tell Crimes Charged to Federation. WALLACE BOMB EXPLAINED J Originally Designed for Peabody, Then Taken to Idaho for Steun enberg and Kejected Orchard la. Ready to Tell His Story. BOISE. Idaho, June 4. (Special.) In his elaln blunt manner J. H. Hawley tms moraine held the close attention of a large crowd In the courtroom wnne ne outlined the case of the state against W. D. Haywood. The auditor who paid the closest attention was the defendant himself. Ha was under a treat strain most of the time. Though he kept hi eyes fastened upon the attorney who was Bitting forth the terrible catalogue of crimes laid at the door of the "inner cir cle" of the Western Federation of Min ers, he fldeeted much, shitting nis posi tion In his chair, but seldom glancing away from the speaker. When his eyes changed their direction, it was to glance alonr the double line of races in ine jury box, a though searching there for some evidence of the effect of the recital upon th men who are to determine his fate. It was plainly a terrible ordeal for the accused man, and it is stated that some of Mr. parrow's Interruptions were for the purpose of giving his client a Dream ing' spell, a few moments during which he might relax and nerve himself for the continuation of the story. Mr. Hawlev is not an orator, but in his statement he made many thrusts that cut deeply and caused the man at the bar ol the court to wince as tnougn in pain. ' Makes Haywood Blanch. "The inner circle of the Western Fede ration of Miners," he slid, "has treaded in human blood," and the face of the prisoner blanched as the words fell from the lips of the prosecutor. Again came this Indictment: "The inner circle brought around them a lew cnoice spirits, and to them murder became a trade and assassination a means 01 live lihood," and the arraignment seemed to reach the vitals of the defendant. A feature of the statement made by the prosecutor was that he differentiated between the inner circle of the federa tion and the mass of the membership. He made It very clear that the state does not charge the rank and file of the mem bers with being murderers, but set forth with care the claim that the inner circle, getting into power, was prepared to re tain it through lawless means. It built up a force that could not be set aside by the masses of the members, establish ing political control and domination in many section in a manner that made it supreme. Will Prove Every Charge. The prosecutor was very emphatlo In his declaration that the itate would prove every allegation he made. When Mr. Darrow objected to hla references to many crimes other than the murder of Steunenberg, Mr. Hawley stated that the state proposed to show the inner circle had organized a vast conspiracy for murder and other forms, of violence, and that the murder of the ex-Governor was but an incident of that conspiracy. He charged it brought about the ex plosion in the Vindicator shaft at Crip ple Creek, the awful explosion under the Independence Depot, the murder of Arthur Collins' at Telluride, and the murder of Lyte Gregory in Denver: that it made repeated attempts on the life of Governor Peabody, of Colorado, and that it sought to kill Chief Justice Gabbert, and Justice Goddarcl, of the Supreme Court of that state; and he asserted the state would prove the statement with ample evidence. He added that it had been guilty of a long list of crimes, which he would not de tail, but which the state would prove. Darrow Tries to Head Him Off. The unwillingness of the defense to have all those matters gone Into was Indi cated by the character of the objections offorcd by Mr. Darrow. The latter again and again Interrupted, indicating that the defense, would resist any such line of proof. Judge Wood overruled every ob jection, stating that he would not pass on the admissibility of such testimony until it should be offered. Mr. Hawley was so confident of he ability of the state to prove every statement made that he finally said he was willing to have the record show that the defense objected to every utterance. At the close of the statement the defense asked for a list of the other crimes referred to by Mr. Haw ley and the latter agreed to give the list tn the morning. Bomb Thrown In River. There wore some new features of the news of the case in the statement made by Mr. Hawley. One was the statement respecting the bomb found in the river at Wallace. It bad always been supposed that this bomb had been made for the purpose of pulling off some outrage in the Coeur d'Alenes and it was not until Mr. Hawley stated that it was made In Colorado to be used in the killing of Governor Peabody and brought to Idaho to be used in murdering Steunenberg that the public knew differently. It was known that the prosecution regarded the And as one of great importance but the history of the bomb has never leaked. Orchard met Slnipklns at Wardner to plan the murder of Steunenberg In Sep tember. 190ft. Slmpklns declared the bomb, weighing 50 pounds, was too heavy, so I Orchard threw it into the river, where it was subsequently struck by a pick in the hands of a man digging Ice out of the channel. Letter From I'cttibone. Another new point whs the announce ment that a letter had been found among Orchurd's effects which, though bearing an Initial signature. Is known by the state to have been written by Pettlbone. It was in reference to the work of murder ing Steunenberg which Orchard had in hand. It hud been stated that the state had such a letter written by Haywood, but the statement could not be verified ami hud been forgotten. The testimony taken during he day was of a formal character, intended sole ly to prove the murder of Steunenberg and the presence of Orchard at Caldwell at several times during the Fall and Win ter of 1S06. In most cases the defense did not cross-examine. It Is its policy to admit that Orchard went there and com mitted the murder. Julian Steunenberg, son of the Governor, was one of the wit nesses. He told of Orchard's having asked him a few days before the tragedy when bis father would return. The defense did not cross-examine him. Tonight Harry Orchard is Bleeping on a cot in the back room of the suite oc cupied by J. H. Hawley in the Oddfellow block on Eighth street, and tomorrow afternoon he will take the stand. The state has a few more persons to put on to give preliminary testimony and then the star witness of the case will take the stand. He seems composed and pre pared to go through the ordeal to which he will be subjected. The trip from the penitentiary was made In the Warden's carriage early thia evening. Just before dark. The Warden and his daughter rode on the front seat and Mrs. Whitney and Orchard in the back. . Orchard stepped out briskly when the carriage drew up In front of the Oddfellow's block and his presence in town would not have been known, had he not been recognized by one of the newspaper men, who recently visited him. There was a long conference between Orchard and Mr. Hawley and Senator Borah, Captain McParland also being present. The witness is closely guarded while he sleeps by some of the most determined men in town and no pos sible harm can be, wrought him by any crank who may be lurking about. HIRED ASSASSIN TO KILL (Continued from - First Pare.) upon his opponent and. with anger In his voice, shouted: "I don't care what it looks like to you. I am not running this case ac cording to your ideas, thank God, and I don't propose to stand for these con stant interruptions." . "I would like to suggest to the court," said Mr. Darrow, "that I . have no desire to call counsel to task "1 object to any ' suggestions to the court from counsel," Mr. Hawley shouted. "Oh. don't be so particular," called Mr. Darrow, In a drawl to the excited at torney. "Don't you be so particular about in terrupting me," retorted Mr. Hawley. "I will interrupt at any time the in terests of my client demand it," said Mr. Darrow. "If the attorney will be calm for a minute, I want to make arrange ments to except the statement and I want to co-operate for an orderly trial." "We will meet you half way on that," said Mr. Hawley. "Now," said Mr. Darrow to the court, "we Insist that the state has no right to make proof in this trial to all of the allegations of disorderly or unlaw ful acts of the Western Federation of Miners, which has extended all over the Western country. We are not try ing anyone here but W. D. Haywood and the charge is the murder of For mer Governor Steunenberg." "The court," said Judge Wood, "can't tell whether the prosecution will be al lowed to make such proof or not until' the time comes." It was finally agreed that the whole of the address should be considered as excepted to by the defense. Pettlbone Hired Lawyer. After telling of the killing of Steunen berg and the movements of Orchard and Slmpklns at Caldwell, Mr. Hawley told of the arrest of Orchard and the unso licited tender of the services of Attorney Fred Miller, of Spokane. He said that the state would show that an unsigned letter received by Orchard was written by George A. Pettlbone. The speaker then told of the confession of Orchard to James McParland and said McParland would be called to the stand. Mr. Hawley said the state would place Orchard on the stand and would show by all the witnesses, including Orchard, that such a condition of affairs existed as he had already outlined. He went back to 1899 to show the reasons leading up to the assassination of Steunenberg, describ ing the blowing up of the concentrator at Wardner, which he said he would prove was the result of connivance of the lead ers of the Western Federation of Miners. Series of Colorado Crimes. Mr. Hawley said the state would show that the inner circle was responsible for the murder of Arthur Collins at Telluride, of Leigh Collins, on the streets of Denver, for the blowing up or me independence depot at Crip ple Creek, the blowing up of the Vindi cator mine and other outrages. He said that the state would show that Haywood and his co-defendants had attempted many times to assassinate ex-Governor Peabody of Colorado in the same way as the murder of Steunenberg was accom plished and for the same reasons. All of thes crimes, Mr. Hawley declared, were committed by Orchard and Adams as the hired and paid assassins of Haywood and his co-defendants. Mr. Hawley reverted once more to the killing of Governor Steunenbere and de clared that witnesses would be produced to testily as to the making of the bomb, as to all of Orchard's movements, of hla communication with the defendants. As to Orchard's confession, he declared its details would be corroborated by the find ing or DomDs at various places where crimes had been contemDlated but aban doned for some reason or another, and by J various otner circumstances, which seemed to point to the truth of all his statements. Orchard's Quiet Preparations. Of the witnesses vhrt ' 1 m j -. garding Orchard, Mr. Rice said that he saw Orchard passing his house almost every day for a month pre ceding the trnjrcriv IT a -nr.. GtthM. - ing toward or returning from the direc tion of Governor Steunenberg's residence. The man seemed to have no business. One day. Mr. Rice said, Hogan Inquired of him If a vacant house near the Govern or's residence was for rent. Rice said he did not know.

EVEN HIS ENEMIES BOOM ROOSEVELT New York Sun Admits Renom ination Against His Will Inevitable. MANY STATES HAVE SPOKEN Chairmen'' Declare Demand Over whelming and Illinois Would De sert Cannon Taft Boom Fails - to Check Popular Sentiment. ORCHARD REMOVED TO BOISE Confessed Murderer Ready to Testify Against Federationists. BOISE, Idaho, June 4. Harry Orchard. the self-confessed murdered of Ex-Governor Steunenberg, who will go on the stand probably tomorrow afternoon to testify In the case against William D. Haywood, was brought into Boise this evening from the Idaho penitentiary. For some hours he was closeted with the at torneys for the prosecution and it is prob able that tonight he will be locked up in a cell -in the County Jail. This is the first time that Orchard has been out of the prison since he was brought from Caldwell Immediately after the assassination. On his trip into the city tonight he was accompanied by Warden Whitney. Notwithstanding the report of possible violence to Orchard on the part of the friends of Haywood, the prisoner was surrounded with but littls precaution during his drive into the city. He was dressed In the same suit of gray that he wore when seen by the newspaper men who visited him recently in the peni tentiary. He is looking well and shows little apprehension on account of the ordeal he will be called upon to face while he id on the stand. It Is understood that the cross-examination of Orchard for the defense will be conducted by E. F. Richardson, the Denver attorney Identified with the de fense. It was supposed that Clarence Darrow would undertake the cross-examination of the most important witness and the present arrangement may be changed before the direct examination is concluded. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 2. In a leading editorial, discussing the Presidential outlook, the New York Sun, speaking of President aooseveit, says: "It is everywhere conceded that only his own will or his own act can prevent his re-election, and there is a widespread Impression that not even his own will or act may suffice to defeat the popular determination." "When a paper like the Sun, which Is decidedly hostile to the Administration. comes out with such an admission, after sizing up the situation throughout the country. It is time for the average man to sit up and take notice. No paper In the country would derive more enjoy ment from the retirement of Mr. Roose velt than the Sun. Hardly a day goes by that the Sun does not take a fling at Mr. Roosevelt, and In the very editorial In question this leading New York daily Intimates what it believes to be good and sufficient reasons why he should not be renominated. Yet. in spite of its reasons and Its desires, the Sun prac tically admits that the President will be renominated, even againwt his will, and that his election will follow. Taft Boom Fails to Silence Call. Further along in this same editorial, after caustically criticising the President for his course during the past six years, the Sun significantly remarks that "the somewhat premature but attractive can didacy of the Secretary of War has served as a very indifferent check on the popular insistence upon Mr. Roosevelt's perpetuity." From which it is to be inferred that the Sun falls to find that the Taft boom is making much of an. impression out side of Ohio. As between Mr. Roose velt and Mr. Taft the Sun would un questionably prefer the latter, and If there was anything on the horizon to give hope that Taft sentiment would assume such proportions as to drown out the clamor for Mr. Roosevelt's re nomination the Sun would be quick to seize upon even a slight Indication. But there Is no such straw apparent; the breeze is unquestionably blowing In the other direction. Illinois Not For Cannon. Coincident with the publication of The Sun's editorial was the published result of a poll taken by an Iowa pa per which showed that the Republican state chairmen of Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, North Da kota, Tennessee, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Colorado and Illinois had all declared that Mr. Roosevelt was the popular choice in their respective states, and that the overwhelming ma jority of the Republican party in each state favored his renomination as against any other candidate. It was not surprising that such sentiment should have been disclosed in the West, or in fact in the South; the great surprise of that poll was the declaration of the Illinois state chair man that 95 per cent of the Republi cans of his state arefor'Mr. Roose velt. Illinois has been regarded as a Cannon state, and it has been generally believed that the Illinois delegation to the next convention would unquestion ably support Mr. Cannon. Mr. Can non's friends have Intimated that there WAS nr, rinnkt u-iHiin. . i . .- ....... . ... cm) L-J IIIC jJU- Bitlon Illinois Republicans would take. lei nere comes the state chairman with a deplnrftttnn th-. ,,. ........ a declara-tlnn that Q5 n . o . Republicans of Illinois are for Mr. n-ooseveit. wiener tne chairman Is preju diced against Mr. Cannori or else the Cannon boomers have put forward mis leading statements for a purpose. Pacifio Coast Joins Chorus. The returns made to the Iowa paper by no means cover the entire country. For Instance Oregon, Washington and Idaho might safely be added to the list of states where sentiment is overwhelm ingly favorable to Mr. Roosevelt's re nomination. Because of the Japanese trouble, California is not so overwhelm ingly enthusiastic as the states to the north, but the ultimate adjustment of the school question met with quite general approval, and from all accounts Califor nia at the present day would favor Mr. Roosevelt as against other candidates that is to say, the sentiment of a major ity of California Republicans is unques tionably favorable to the President, Wyoming is another state that could safely be added to the list. Then there Is the word of Senator Curtis, that Kan sas is In line, and the Michigan Senate has voted unanimously for Mr. Roose velt's renomination. 1 Great Size of Roosevelt Boom. This list includes practically every state west of the Mississippi River, with Ar kansas and Missouri to be heard from. Add to the solid West Illinois, many of the Southern States, Pennsylvania, that has already shown a most friendly feel ing towards the President, and the Roose velt movement appears to be of such proportions as not to be overlooked. In fact there is no other candidate in the field who could lay claim to anything like this support, Mr. Taft must make sure of Ohio before he can hope for anything else. and he is a long way from being sure of Ohio. Mr. Fairbanks has Indiana, and could get some support in the South, but not if Mr. Roosevelt was a factor. It is very, much to be questioned if a single state outside of Indiana would vote for Mr. Fairbanks if a Roosevelt wave should sweep over the convention, and Indiana would support Mr. Fairbanks not with any expectation of nominating him, but only to do honor to a favorite son. It is seen from the statement of the Illinois state chairman that he does not concede that Mr. Cannon could carry his own state in case the Roosevelt move ment should take definite form. Certainly Mr. Shaw could do no better in Iowa, which is already enthusiastic over Mr. Roosevelt. The same might be said of Mr. Root and New York. He Plays Jib Favorites. Another thing to enliven the speculation In regard to forcing Mr. Roosevelt to ac cept another nomination is the lively con troversy that has sprung up between the Knox and the Taft boomers. For two months Mr. Taft was advertised as Mr. Roosevelt's choice tor 1908. Mr. Taft's brother took pains to let the country know that the President wanted the Sec retary of War nominated. Throughout the country it was accepted as true that the President was more favorable to him than to any . other candidates Now comes the Pennsylvania conting ent, has a talk with the President and out comes the announcement that the President would look with favor upon the nomination of Senator Knox. The Pennsylvania enthusiasts declare that Mr. Knox is the one and only choice of the President for 1908. Manifestly, some body is trying to fool the people, and men quite close to the President do not hesitate to say that there has been mis representation in both the Taft and the Knox camps. These men say that the President Is picking no favorites and is playing no favorites. While he is not seeking and does not desire a renomina tion, his close friends assert that he has not undertaken to dictate who bis suc cessor shall be, and has no Intention of so doing. He has a high regard for Mr. Taft and an equally high regard for Mr. Knox, but It is not true that the Presi dent Is turning a hand to help either of these men. They both have high quali fications, but they have got to make their own fight. Eliminating Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Knox and Mr. Taft are the most likely candi dates on the Republican list. Now that they are "scrapping" for the endorse- ; xnent of the President, Roosevelt stock j will go higher in both Ohio and Penn sylvania, and if the present trend of sentiment continues, Ohio and Penn sylvania may join the West and shout for Mr. Roosevelt, allowing favorite sons to wait another four years. HARBORED THE ASSASSIN Anarchist Spanish Editor Admits Giving Shelter to Morales. MADRID, June 4. The trial of Senor Ferrer, director of the Modern School, of Barcelona; Jose Nakens, editor of El Matin, and others charged with complic ity in the attempt to assassinate King Alfonso and Queen Victoria May 31, 1906, was continued today. Nakens was examined and related that Morales, the man who actually threw the bomb, arrived at his residence, declaring that be had hurled the missile, and de manded shelter. This was accorded, al though Nakens is opposed to violence and i anarchy, from the sole motive of giving' asylum to a fugitive. He was in sym pathy with a man running from the dan ger of execution, and he was caught. Morales remained in the house but a short time, leaving after he had dis guised himself. Bankrupt Prince in Bailiff's Hands. THE HAGUE, June 4. Prince Eberweln of Benthelm-Stelnfurt, who some time ago forfeited his rights of inheritance and his position in the German army by marry ing the daughter of a burgomaster, is now bankrupt. After the wedding he hired a castle near The Hague, perhaps -hoping tor recognition by his aunt, the Queen Dowager of the Netherlands, but neither she nor Queen Wllhelmina, nor the aris tocracy noticed him. His failure to pay rent for the castle has led to its seizure by bailiffs, whose presence, however, did not disconcert the Prince and Princess. They merrily played tennis, ignoring the officers who watched the games. The pair have now gone to Germany, leaving the bailiffs in possession. Ralsuli for Vaudeville Stage. PARIS, June 1 A dispatch to the Petit Parisienne from Tangier says that the Board of Foreign Affairs has offered a pardon to Raisuli, the noted bandit, on condition that he leave Morocco and live away from Tangier on a pension to be paid him by the government. A friend of Raisuli proposes that he make a tour of the British and American music halls. It Is believed that Raisuli favors such a scheme. Pope Honors Edward Bok. ROME, June 4.

CAN THEY WIN ROOSEVELT? IjaFollette and Stephenson Not Equal to Spooner. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 6. Considerable Interest will center in the Wisconsin delegation next Winter when matters of Federal patron age arise. Heretofore President Roose velt, In making appointments In that state, consulted Senator Spooner and usually appointed men of his selection. Senator LaFollette had very little to say in such matters. Mr. Spooner is no longer a member of the Senate; his place has been filled by lsaao btepbenson. the wealthiest man in the state, - who made his wealth out of lumber. Now the Pres ident will be called upon. In the natural course of events, to"consult either Mr. LaFollette of Mr. Stephenson, or both, or elseignore the Senators and continue to take the advice of Mr. Spooner. Mr. LaFollette, notwithstanding he is a radical advocate of railroad regulation, has 'never been able to gain the Pres ident's confidence. He has not been con sulted by the President. Mr. Stephen son is a new man and comes to the Sen ate with at least a suspicion attaching to his election. It may be that his money had nothing to do with his election, but In Wisconsin some very ugly stories are circulated, and It is reported that he made an outright purchase. His reputation as a politician tends to confirm this suspicion. Before the president would take Mr. Stephenson into his confidence he would want to know- positively whether the new Senator was elected by straight means or crooked. If there was any sign of cor ruption Mr. Stephenson could of course hope for no recognition. 'If he comes to Washington with a clean bill of health, it Is probable that he will be accorded the same recognition as his colleague. But the two of them may have less in fluence than Mr. Spooner, notwithstanding he Is no longer In public life. The President always had a great re gard for Mr. Sopooners ability though they did not always agree. Mr. Spooner had the unrestrained confidence of the President, and he was always consulted regarding the big affairs of state. When there was a difference of opinion.

Mr. Spooner never attempted any Jobbery on the Pres ident; he was always straightforward and frank. He had the confidence of the Sen ate and was one of the most powerful members of that body as well as one of the ablest, Mr. LaFollette has always been at odds with hla party In the Senate. On practically every party question ne votear witn xne Democrats and against the administra tion. The Preaident, while admlririg a man of independent views, Is still a good partisan, and he never approved the course of Mr. LaFollette in setting him self up against the entire majority party In the Senate. The Senate has regarded Mr. LaFollette form the first as a "four-flusher." It has snubbed him and defeated his pet schemes exoept where they were based on unquestioned merit, tie naa een nazea In season and. out. He has not been muz zled, for there is no way to muzzle a member of the Senate If he feels Inclined to talk. But It has made him feel the will of the majority, forced him to line up with the Democrats and exploded the idea that he is the only upright and honest member of the Senate. . : Says Scfamlts Should Apologize. TOKIO, June 4. Count Okuma, leader of the Progressive party, who has retired from active politics, but who is still a leader of public opinion, is prominently quoted in the opposition papers as urg ing the concentration of Japanese national efforts toward the settlement of the San Francisco question; that Japan should de mand public apology from the Mayor of San .Francisco and also that the Japanese should receive treatment similar to that given to Anglo Saxons In the United States. Shaw to Head Bank Combine. NEW YORK, June 4. Former Secretary of the Treasury Lesliei M. Shaw may head a $50,000,000 banking merger.
