OBSERVATIONS ON THINGS WAR IN 2000. In 2000 warfare will probably be carried on in an enclosed arena be tween picked teams from the oppos ing couutries. It Is easy to foresee the future finesse of the game In the material advances which are made each year at The Hague international peace conferences. Players In the year mentioned will no doubt be se lected according to their mental abil ity, and tho arena ...will bo divided into educational squares on which tho respective rivals will try for points. For example, on Square No. 1 (albegra) the gladiators In that branch of study will take their posj- tlpns and tho referee will propound tho first query for example: "If A, B and C have $500 between them, and B has twice as mu?h as A, and C'has three times as much as A, how much ljas A?" Tho referee will then give the signal and tho two gladia tors will begin the solution of the problem. The gladiator who first solves the problem will then say "Aye," upon which the referee will say, "speak gladiator." The gladia tor will then speak, giving utterance to' his solution, and if correct will advance three paces. This process will bo continued until one or the other of tho gladiators reach a given line in tho "algebra square," tho first to- reach it being declared tho win ner and tho country which he repre sents being given a certain number of, score marks. This camo process will bo repeated in the other squares, viz.: astrology, philosophy, geology, domestic science, and tho like. When the different contest ants in the fray complete their strug gles tho grades will be made up and tho country rocoivtng tho hlghcr.t total "number of points will be de clared the winner. The gladiators wltl then leave, the arena for the dressing rooms .under the grand stand, where they will got a rub down and, donning sweaters, will permP for a space tho adulations of oweet hearts and ndralrors. It requires no Jules Verno Imagination to seo the maddonod applause- emanating from tho spectatorn, and In fancy wo car seo tho storm-toPBod' crowd espe cially tho bleacherltes a3 uurglng ovor all barrlors it sweeps over the arena and bears thv victorious glad iators around in triumphant progress Thoro will then b" no regulars or volunteers. Tho future goneratlonr will not miss tho r'plng of tho fife or tho rat-tat of the drum. Beforo that time these things will ho obso lete, doing duty on tho sholvea o tho curio r.hops. Callow vouthi nnd UU1g ranlds will li shown the WTin kled khaki uniform in tho parrot as tho family tradition is related.

Boise, July 1. Morris Friedman, a young Russian stenographer who left tho employ of the.Piukertons at Denver to write a book, In which ho published certain correspondence of tho agency that passed through his hands, was again today the principal figure in the Haywood trial. More than half a day was occupied in. reading to the jury copies ofthe docu ments which Friedman took from tho Plnkerton records. These were chiefly dally reports of tho secret agents operating as spies among the unions and union men at Cripple Creek, Victor, Globevllle, Trinidad and Denver, and. showed a complete surveillance of the Western Federa tion of Miners and the United Mine Workers during the troubles In Colo rado in 1903-5. Plnkerton men sat in the Federa tion convention at Denver in 1904, reporting all the proceedings. None of the reports or letters produced 1. t-i-i... 1 j .. M. t . r , uy j? iieuinuii uuu reuu iu mo jui; u by Darrow contained other than a. general references to the collateral Issues of the trial, but they were offered In substantiation ot tho coun ter claim of the defense that the Pln kerton Agency conspired for the de struction of the Western Federation and lives of Its leaders. Tho prosecution offered no oppo sition to any featuroof Friedman's; testimony and no objection to tho in troduction of any one of the docu ments that the defense obtained: through him, and when Friedman, was handed over for cross-examination it endeavored to ascertain if Friedman had any more reports bear ing on the general Issue. It at tacked Friedman on the ground that he played the Plnkcrtons falsely, vio lated his nledgo to them and had stolen documents which he produced; ' but tho witness would not admit that ho stole them and would not allow Senator Borah to call him a "Pln kerton." -. Ho insisted it was not stealing thi. take Information that had been oh talned by fraud and deceit by seen service men and declared the publ service which he performed in in-fi forming tho public of tho methods of tho agoncy fully justified anything'. he had done. He said had ho knoWri , this trial was coming up ho would have taken many moro letters-ancf reports. Senator Borah pressed hlir to toll Just what records thoro wojjf' In the Plnkerton office at Denvej bearing directly on this case, and while the witness said he could nof tell him of any particular one ho re mombored many letters written by. McParland, in which all manner 'ot , imZ.-., crimes were laid at the door Western Federation. Another Interesting witness was; James Wallace, attorney of Crlpnlf Creek, who served with th mllif first aa private and thon as u utenjj durln the striko of 1903 1 Hoi bated several Instances as t 'n show the misuse of the pov r f mllltla by the mine ownei 1 u the criminal records of so 1" of tB gun fighters Imported by thp mlg owners.
