THINGS HE MUST EXPLAIN
President at .Federation does Into
Great Detail About How Miller
Suddenly Appeared and Dis
appeared at Caldwell.
BOISE, Idaho, July 10. Speclal.)
Charles H. Moyer today told Ms story
on the stand In the trial of the Haywood
case. He made a good witness, answering
with a confident tone and generally
making a good Impression. He denied
every allegation made by Orchard con
necting him or the Federation with crime.
But In his detail he made many admis
sions that are of much importance and
which will no doubt rise up to embarrass
hln tomorrow, when he faces Senator
Borah's automatic cross-examination gun.
It was evident that his testimony bad
been very carefully gone over before he
appeared on the stand, but the effect of
some of the matters which It was ar
ranged that he should admit was not
properly weighed by the defense at
torneys. Ever since the Western Federation
management came under suspicion be
cause of its readiness to defend, if not
to Instigate, crime of a certain class,
It has been criticized severely for the
promptness with which It rushed to
the defense of every man accused
of committing any offense directed
against mlneowners, their agents, their
property or the officers of law and Its
attitude in that respect was a potent
factor In convincing so many people
that the Inner circle Itself planned ths
long list of crimes whose perpetrators
It has been so busy in shielding or de
fending for so many years. ' Knowing
that, the defense in this case announced
at the outset of this case that it was
the policy of the Federation to defend
any of its members accused of any
kind of crime anywhere.
Change When Orchard Confessed.
In pursuance of thai policy, Moyer to
day testified that he and Haywood sup
plied Fred Miller with $1500 for the de
fense of Harry Orchard. Though one
of the worst crimes In the history -of the
West had been committed by this man,
or supposedly so, the inner circle was
ready to expend the money of the or
ganization to defend the man accused
of murder. It made no difference
whether the charge were true or false,
the Federation money went into the case
and the Federation was thrown at the
back of the defense. As soon as Or
chard confessed, the whole thing
changed and he was no longer worthy of
the aid of this inner circle that had
disbursed so much of the money of the
members for the defense of murderers
and other criminals accused . of having
committed many crimes against that
class of people with which the Inner clr
ch? has been at "war." Had Orchard
not confessed the inner circle would have
been defending him yet, unless he had
been already hanged. None who heard
Moyer testify thought for a moment that
he would have gone to Orchard's defense
had he murdered some member of the
Federation in a brawl or committed any
otner crime not against the class which
the inner circle has been fighting.
Link In Chain of Evidence.
Again Moyer blundered in introducing
a dispatch sent by Slmpkina' to Haywood
from Spokane on January 4, 1906, stating
he could not get a Spokane attorney to
defend. "Hogan." Fred Miller had been
sent from Spokane on the morning of
January 4. The morning papers had
shown up the significance of the manner
in which he had been dispatched, and he
was called back from Walla Walla or
went back himself on seeing the awkward
position in which his clients had been
placed through disclosure of their inter
est In this murderer. Mr. Miller re
mained away for several days. Haywood
took the matter up with the Silver City
union on January 9, asking it to send
an attorney. That was done publicly.
The dispatch sent to the union was given
to the newspapers and was carried by
the Associated Press the same day. This
was all done to correct the bad effect of
the original blunder of sending an attor
ney to an unkonwn murderer before ha
had asked for aid. and this telegram
from Slmpklns fits Into the chain of evi
dence on the subject perfectly.
Moyer admitted going to Ouray with
Orchard and he further admitted he
and Orchard carried sawed-off . shot
guns -secured for him by Pettibone,'
thus sustaining the charge of the
State that Pettibone was the business
agent of the inner circle In so many
matters playing a part in this case.
Moyer admitted he met Orchard in
Denver some time before the latter
started for Idaho in 1905 and that he
was passing under the name of Hogan.
Again, Moyer stated he was at Cripple
Creek from February 14 to March 3
attending the train-wrecking trial, and
he stated that Orchard was very active
FEDERATION
there in assisting the defense. That
la the exact time at which the defense
has been trying to prove that Orchard
was in the employ of the mine-owners.
He admitted Neville tried to get money
from him, but he said he put It In on the
ground that he had been put to expense
by reason of being arrested, charged
with blowing up the Independence depot.
Moyer passed the matter up to the ex
ecutive committee and the claim was re
jected because Neville was not a mmber
of the Federation. Why did Neville go
to Moyer for money, unless he knew the
latter -was interested In that explosion T
That is a question that may yet bother
the Federation president. The fact is,
according to the prosecution, that Neville
did find out that the Inner circle had an
Interest in that Job, and he made nu
merous demands for money. He died
very suddenly in Nevada some time
later, and it is believed he died because
be knew too much, and was disposed to
use his knowledge as capital. The exact
charge is that he was promised by some
one Interested in closing bis mouth about
the Independence affair.
Never Heard of Caldwell.
Moyer shied clear across the road
when he came close to Caldwell. He
Charles H. Moyer, President of
Western Federation of Miners,
.Who Testified In Defense of Hay
wood. declared he never knew there was such
a town until Steunenberg was killed.
That is most Improbable. In October
of that year he was In Sliver City sev
eral days and he had passed through
Caldwell on the train in getting there.
He stopped over night only a few miles
from the town. The place had been
mentioned a thousand time in the pub
lic prints as the home of Steunenberg.
Slmpklns went from there to Denver
Just before the murder. Tet Moyer
never heard of It;' he was afraid of
the name, as "Big Bill" Davis was of
that train which pulled down Canyon
Creek in the Coeur d'Alenes April
29, 1899.
Among, ths additional rebuttal wit
nesses who have arrived are A. C Cogs
well, manager of the Tlger-Poorman store
at Burke; J.. P. Keane, a mine , super ln
tendent in the Coeur d'Alenes; Nelson
Franklin and A. T. Holman, of Victor,
Colo, prominent mlneowners; also L. B.
Gulbblnl, owner of the store and saloon
near the Bradley flat In. San Francisco;
he is accompanied by his wife.
MOYER, HAYWOOD'S DEFENDER
Denies All Charges and Makes Good
Impression In Conrt.
BOISE, ' Idaho, July 10. Charles H.
Moyer went on the stand today as a wit
ness for his fellow-defendant, W. D. Hay
wood, and besides making positive denial
of all the crimes attributed to him and
the other Federation leaders by Harry
Orchard, offered an explanation of the
unsolicited appearance of the Western
Federation of Miners as the defender of
Orchard after his arrest at Caldwell for
the murder of Steunenberg. "He swore
It was Jack Slmpklns who engaged "Fred
Miller at Spokane to go to Caldwell to
represent Orchard, then known as Thom
as Hogan and that it was at the request
of Slmpklns that, Moyer and Haywood
subsequently advanced $1500 from the
funds of the- Federation to meet the ex
penses of defending Orchard.
Moyer made a self-possessed address
and at the end of the long day the de
fense expressed satisfaction over both his
testimony and the probable impression he
made on the Jury.' He is a man of good
appearance and address and his low
pitched voice is of pleasing tone. He dis
played some- nervousness when he first
faced the courtroom and worked it off on
a lead pencil that he carried, but the
examination had not proceeded far be
fore he seemed quite at ease.
He will resume the stand at 9:30 tomor
row morning, when the state will enter
upon its cross-examination. His direct
testimony took a very wide latitude and
the way is open for an equally wide
cross-examination. Senator Borah will
be the state's questioner. -'
MOYER'S EVIDENCE IN DEFENSE
Denies Federation Ever Inspired or
Connived at Crime.
BOISE, Idaho. July 10. When the Hay
wood trial opened today Mr. Borah read
the cross-examination in the deposition of
W. A. Abernathy to the effect that Or
chard said he would "get" Steunenburg
some time.
Objection of the state to testimony of
John I. Tlerney. a Denver newspaper
man, as to the political situation In Colo
rado in 1904 and 1905 was sustained.
Moyer was then called and testified 'as
to his early life. . He said he had been a
miner since 1S&3. Joined the Federation
In 1897 and was first elected president In
June, 1302, having been re-elected annual
ly since. His first Important office was
member of the executive board in II
He was an organizer for nine months
prior to becoming president. He first
met Haywood at the 1900 convention at
Denver. He had been an Odd Fellow for
18 years and a member of the United
Workmen for eight years. He identified
a copy of the constitution of the Federa
tion. As president he gave no bond, but
Haywood was under J30.000 bond. He

FORT STEVENS, Or.. July 10. (Spe
cial Correspondence.) The practical as
well as the theoretical value of volunteers
in coast artillery operations was estab
lished today, when a mired crew of Ore
gon Infantrymen and regular artillerymen
engaged In target practice with metal
projectiles. Sixteen subcallber projectiles
weighing 18 pounds each were fired from
a 12-inch mortar battery at a prescribed
area out in the harbor designated as a
cruiser. Although the range was 4000
yards, or nearly three miles, the gun
ners lodged nine shells in their target.
After finding the range, barely a shot
went wide of the mark. It was pro
nounced a fine exhibition of marksman
ship. Military experts declare that no
fleet in the world could withstand a bom
bardment wherein such accuracy is prac
ticed by the mortar batteries.

This subcallber practice was Intended
for the last day of the instruction period.
if at all, but the progress of the guards
men in artillery work has been so rapid
that Colonel Walker, the artillery dis
trict' commander, decided to try out his
new force with real amntunltlon this af
ternoon. While the serviceability of the
guardsmen had been established from a
purely theoretical standpoint, It remained
to be seen whether they would be equally
efficient when the big mortars were
loaded with powder and projectiles.
The target out in the harbor was a
hypothetical cruiser, and the area for
putting this craft out of commission had
an approximate radius of 50 yards. The
center was an improvised pyramid with
a base of ten feet. The mortars were
manned "by ' Cotripkfi A of the First
Separate Battalion under Captain Ham
mond. A small detachment from the
Ninety-third Company of Coast Artillery
assisted In the firing.
Find Range at Fifth Shot.
Every man In the garrison not other
wise occupied by military duties was on
hand to witness this final test of the
new artillery force. Assembly found all
the men of the gun details waiting to
fall in. The bombardment promised an
element of excitement that has been
lacking hitherto in the drills.
The crew in the primary station caught

SCKXK AT SOUTHWEST CORNIER OF THIRD A XT) HOTT WHERE NEW FACTORY aXB WAREHOUSE FOB
HAZEL WOOD CREAM COMPANY IS BE1.NO ERECTED.
' A good example of the change that is coming over Korth Portland is to be seen at the southwest oorner of Third
and Hoyt streets, where the new factory and warehouse for . the Hazelwood Cream Company Is being erected. This
building replaces. a large part of the old frame structure, occupied for many years by the plant of the Willamette Iron
A eteel Works, which has now been removed to a site north of the terminal yards. It covers a quarter-block and is
to cost between 160.000 and $70,000.
It was first Intended to build four stories, but the owners have now 6edldV to add another floor. The buildlns?
is to be of very heavy mill construction in order to bear the weight of massive machinery. The basement will con
tain the ice cream plant, and the ground floor will be used for the receiving and shipping department and an ice plant.
The third floor will be for the offices and churning department and the fourth will be divided into refrigerating rooms.
The fourth and fifth floors will be reserved for the expansion of business.
Joseph Simon, who is erecting the building. Is also owner of the adjoining quarter-blook on the west. p this
site It Is probable that another warehouse will soon be constructed, ' although no definite arrangements for this Im
provement have yet been made. The Haselwood factory was to be roofed over by August X but the work will not be
completed by that time, as there has been delay In securing lime. - The tenants expect to move into ths building in September.
than 36 seconds and transmitted these
findings to the mortars. In the mean
time the manning details had brought up
powder and projectiles from magazines
and shellroom and had loaded the first
mortar. The range was phoned to the
gun, the adjustments were made and the
projectile was hurled Into the air with
a terrific roar. It sped over the harbor
In a circular course and plunged into
the - bay a few yards seaward of the 1
target. The gun was wiped and . re
adjusted for a second shot. . This came
nearer, the third and fourth shots fell
nearer still, and then the range was
found, to a nicety. Thereafter the ' big
projectiles plunged into the area of tbe
target with regularity. "Had there been
a real cruiser there, it would be cruising
the bottom of the harbor tonight.
More Difficult Than Rifles.
Mortar firing Is not only different
from, coast rifle and field' rifle work,
but it is vastly more difficult. The
projectile does , not. take a straight
course. In getting the range yester
day, the steel missiles took the air at
an angle of o 0 degrees. To those in the
rear the projectiles seemed to be sus
pended high in the air after leaving
tbe mortars. Taking the course of a
half circle, they dropped into the har
bor from above, after being in the air
fully one minute by the stop watch.
While plainly visible at the rear, the
projectiles cannot ' be made out from
In front, and give an enemy no time
to avoid them. They are peculiarly
effeotive- from the- fact that they fall
from .above, pierce the deck of a war
ship and send it under. Deck arma
ment cannot be placed sufficient to re
sist the .fire, from these mortars. Ex
periments in target practice with
sub-caliber projectiles are to be re
peated from time to time until Friday,
when simulated hostilities begin.
Handle Guns Like Veterans.
The manning crews at the coast
rifles continue doing excellent work
and are. handling the big guns like
veterans. The submarine mine detail
of 21 men under Lieutenant-Colonel
Poorman is likewise giving excellent
service. Having learned the details of
this work, it held a practical drill in
torpedo warfare this afternoon. The
men loaded and fused a mine contain
ing 100 pounds of dynamite, located a
vessel that had ventured into the mine
field and went through the actions of
blowing it up. The drill of actually
placing a mine in the harbor has not
yet been undertaken.
The explosives are put in water
proof casements attached to anchors
weighing 1000 pounds and placed in
strategic positions under the harbor
during hostile periods. The locating
of a ship in a mine field is executed
from a primary station or observation
tower in precisely the same manner
followed in locating a vessel for one of
the big guns.
Eager for Mlmlo War.
The period of simulated actual hostili
ties Is being looked, forward to with an
ticipations of keen excitement. Fort Stevens-and
Fort Columbia ' will . be con
ducted as if America were at war with
some power that was trying to take the
position here. The garrisons will be on
the qui vive day and night. Searchlights
will play the ocean and river from dusk
to daylight, and the approach of every
vessel will be reported. The Government
tug Guy Howard will be sent out of
range, with instructions to steam in at
unexpected hours of the day and night.
It will represent the advance guard of the
enemy's fleet, and Its appearance will be
the signal for a call to arms. The men
will sleep in the rear of their guns, ready
for action at any minute. Blank ammu
nition will be used during many of tha
mimic bombardments.

NEW YORK, July 10. Admiral Baron
Gombel Yamamoto, one of Japan's
most distinguished naval officers and
director of marine during the Russo
Japanese War, is the guest of New
York. The Admiral and his suite ar
rived from England on the steamer
Carmanta this morning and will remain
here until July 15.
The Admiral's first day In New York!
was a busy one. He was interviewed j
by half a hundred reporters, had his
photograph taken a score of times, re
cenved visitors from Major-General '
Frederick D. Grant, Rear-Admiral
Robley D. Evans, Captain Adams, act
ing commandant of. the New York.
Navy-Yard, and a number of other
military and Naval men, went for an
automobile ride and dined with the
members of his party.
R ear-Admiral Evans, who is an old
friend of Admiral Yamamoto, called on
him during the afternoon, and the two
sailors had a long talk together. After
the visit Admiral Evans said they had
settled the whole matter of war between
Japan and America, and had deolared
peace. Admiral Yamamoto said the war
talk was nonsense.
War Talk AH Nonsense.
"It Is absolutely useless to talk about
war between the United States and Ja
pan," said Admiral Evans. "There la
not any more reason why we should fight
Japan than there is that we fight Italy
because of Italian outrages in this coun
try, or that the Chinese should declare
war on us because some hoodlums hurled
a brick through a laundry window."
Admiral Yamamoto will return Bear
Admiral Evans' call in the navy yard
tomorrow. At noon there will be
given a luncheon at the Holland House,
where he is staying, by the Japanese
Society, and in the evening he will be
given a dinner at the Union League
Club.
Rear-Admiral Evans, after a visit
to Admiral Yamamoto, said they had
discussed the rumors of war:
"We settled the whole question our
selves," said Admiral Evans, "and the
first and last shots were fired by the
photographers. The Admiral and I are
old frtend-s. He thinks as I do, that
there is nothing at all to this talk
about war. The two governments un
derstand each other perfectly in re
gard to the matter and the good sense
of the governments will prevent any
trouble."
Iose Storms In Pacific
"1 think the friendly relations of
long standing between the United
States and Japan should be preserved
and the passing storm disappear in the
waters of the Pacific Ocean. I firmly
believe that this one Incident cannot
be thrown in the way of the present
relations between two countries which
began at the time of my birth."
Thus spoke Admiral Yamamoto as a
greeting to the American people on
his arrival. Admiral Yamamoto has
been inspecting the gunshops and
shipyards of Europe and will visit our
navy-yards and shipbuilding plants.
He was met at quarantine by Lieu
tenant R. W. Henderson, representing
Rear-Admiral Goodrich. commander
of the New York Navy-yard, who extend
ed Admiral Goodrich's greetings.
Admiral Yamamoto made the occasion
of his arrival an opportunity to deny the
reports from Tokio that the leadership of
the Progressive government party would
fall upon him on his return home and
that efforts would be made to overthrow
the Satonji Ministry. He declined to ex
press an opinion on the Intention of the
United States Government to send a large
fleet of warships from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Coast. The Admiral will take
luncheon with President Roosevelt on
Friday at Oyster Bay.
Is Friend of America.
The Admiral received numerous dis
patches on board the Carmanla at quar
antine and after he had read them he
received the newspaper men. He is of -short
stature and compact figure, with
gray hair. A thick gray beard did not
conceal a smile which played about his
face during the entire visit. For the re
porters the Admiral answered each ques
tion with an expanding smile. His re
plies were In Japanese, which were In
terpreted by an aide. When asked what
he thought of the intention of the United
States Government to send practically all
of our battleships to the Pacific, Admiral
Yamamoto, smiling broadly, said:
I myself have no bad feeling against tbe
United States, but It is a question for this
