outlying districts are very aatlsfac

STORY BACKED UP.
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.

agent ot one of the steamship com
panies as saying that until employers
of labor in the Southern states learn
to treat whites as they should. Im
migration will not be encouraged.

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.
