Bank Record Show That Orchard Told Truth. . Boise, Idaho, June 21. Yesterday the state proved by documentary evi dence that money waa aent Orchard at San Francisco from Federation headquarters as he testified. They showed by the records of the Poatal company at Denver that two remit- tancea were made, one by Wolff, Pet tlboue' representative, and the other by P. Bone, the latter name being a play on the word. Orchard testified that such a name waa often used by Pettlbone. Further, it is understood that a handwriting expert will testify at some time before the case is end ed, that both applications were made out by Pettlbone. An Interesting fea ture of thoae remittances Is that Identification of the payee wa waived in both cases. Another link In the chain of docu mentary evidence of payments baa been forged. A dispatch, received from the First National bank state that the stub of the $100 draft pur chased for Slmpklns In December, 1906, ahowed It wa aecured on De cember 21, the day on which the money was aent to Simpklna for Or chard, aa ahown by the letter aent by Pettlbone to the latter, in that draft the second figure of the date bad been punched out. and It was neces sary to refer to the atub to determine that the draft waa issued to Slmpklns on the day that Pettlbone gave a the date on which the money was aent. HOLDS LAND IN TRUST. Laud Convention Told Pridnt' Pol icy Will Bo Kept Up. Denver, Colo., June 21. Presi dent Roosevelt has served notice on the West, in a letter that was read at the Public Lands convention, which came to an end last evening after adopting resolutions much less rad ical than those who had the affair In charge originally had Intended, that the present administration will until Ita end pursue a policy of foeterlng actual homemaking and preventing the remaining public lands from be ing exploited by men and corpora tions and ot prosecuting those who perpetrate frauds. The west, by reason of the presi dent's written declaration and state ments made in detail during the laat few days by Secretary of the Interior darfield and United States Forester Plncbot, will have a much better un derstanding ot the administration's Intention with respect to a matter that ia aecond in importance to no other now occupying public atten tion. The better understanding has been Indicated already in the resolu tions adopted by a convention or ganised with intent hostile to the na tional administration. These resolu tions do not In their entirety express what conservative representatives of the public lands states declare would be the registered sentiment of the west itself if unreatrlcted expression thereof bad been permitted in Den ver. LAST EFFORT OF UNION. Telegraph Operators Ask Neill to Us Influanc. Chicago, June 20.

SMALL ORDERED THE STRIKE Company Refusis to Recognize th Unior. Nearly Two Hundred Are Affected. San Francisco, June 22 The tele graph operators employed by the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies left their keys at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon and walked out of the offices. Three short blasts from a police whistle gave the signal, and at the sound the operator arose from the tables, put on their coats and quit their jobs. Both the Postal and Western Union main San Francisco offices are located close together in the Ferry building. Since the fire the main relay office of the Western Union has been at West Oakland, where, on til yesterday afternoon, about 150 men and women were employed. In the San Francisco offices about 20 oper ators were employed, and at outside brancbea about 20 more. The Poatal company bad 0 oper ators in Its main San Francisco of fice. Employes of both companies, with the exception of one in each of fice, stopped work at the signal. . The operators In San Francisco and Oakland were dissatisfied with th letter from President Clowry, of the Western Union, published Thurs day, and Insisted that their demanda for a 25 per cent Increase in wages should be granted. President Small, of the Commer cial Telegraphers" union, arrived here Thursday, and after considering tne situation, ordered the strike un less the Increase waa granted. Both the Western Union and the Postal of ficials decline to grant the Increase or to consult with the union. They expressed tbelr willingness to con sider and act upon any grievances presented by their employes as indi viduals, but thla has not satisfied the men, and the walkout resulted. LAWYERS REVIEW CASE. Defense Asks Court to Dismiss Hay wood, But is Refused, Boise, Idaho, June 22. Yesterday In the Haywood murder trial, after the state had rested its case In chief. the defense made a motion for an instructed verdict, and there follow ed the first protracted argument ot tne long contest. It occupied a long afternoon session and was of the highest interest, bringing out the radical divergence between the views ot the state and those of the defense respecting the governing law of the case. On the side of the defense the claim was that there was no testi mony to connect Haywood with the murder of Frank Steunenberg, com mitted by Orchard, an alleged accom plice of the defendant. The law re specting the testimony of an accom plice was quoted and commented up on and it was claimed there was no testimony to connect Haywood with Orchard in the commission of this act, excepting that of Orctmrd him self, which could not be accepted. Mr. Richardson made a very able argument along these lines. He went over the testimony of most all the witnesses, winding up his review ot he narrative of each crime touched upon with the declaration that there was nothing to connect Haywood with It. Judge Wood Immediately an nounced his decision refusing the motion. "The court is thoroughly satisfied that this case should be submitted to the jury. If I felt differently I would not hesitate to so rule." The court then explained that he would not review the evidence in a written opinion, because there were two more defendants to be tried later. Court then adjourned until 10 o'clock Monday morning. "Roads Fight Lower Rates. Carson, Nev., June 22.
