TO ME STAND FOR STATE Orchard'sAlleged Part ner in Crime MUCH TO TELL IF HE WILL Little Choice Left for Self-Con-fessed Criminal. FACTS FROM INNER CIRCLE prosecution Promises Long List of Sensations When tl Comes to Cor roborating Testimony ol Orch ard Witnesses Gathering. BOISE,- Idaho, June 9. (Special.) The announcement that Steve Adams is be ing brought here by the state and that he will be put on the stand in corroboration of Orchard's statements has created great Interest. It Is not known what the state proposes to do with him, but it evidently feels it is in a position to use him to advantage, notwithstanding the fact that he repudiated the confession he made last year. As a result of Adams' visit to Tellurlde with Bulkeley Wells last year, the offi cers there are in possession of an im mense amount of evidence respecting his crimes, particularly the murder of Ar thur Collins, and it is believed he will certainly hang if the officers down there get hold of him. Further, it is thought very likely the state will succeed in con victing him on the next trial for the murder of Fred Tyler in Shoshone County. His Colorado Crimes. At Tellurlde. Adams guided the officers to places where the remains of some of the victims of murders there in 1902 were buried. He spent one night at the Col lins' house. While there he was asked to point out the spot' where he stood when he fired the charge of buckshot into the Toom and killed the mine manager. He walked directly to the point which had been found at the time. Its direction from the window was determined by the course of one shot which passed through the sash of the window. Following that course, the officers found where the murderer stood, 60 feet away. The marks of his feet were there, and there lay an empty shell. When asked to point out the spot. Adams did so without hesitation. He talked freely, giving the officers a mass of Information, most of which has been checked up and fully cor roborated. Take Choice and Hang for It. There would seem to be two ropes around his neck, and he will have a hard choice to make if he refuses to stand by his original statement. There is no pos sibility that he can gain Immunity by testifying, but It would seem as though he would take the chance of getting some consideration in return for standing by his statement made to Detective McPar land. A section of the confession was Introduced at his trial at Wallace in February and he admitted he told it all excepting the one fact that he fired the hot that killed Tyler. He also admit ted he made the statements voluntarily, being told there was no case against him. So he will have to face the original state ment and his Bworn evidence on the stand. It is a peculiar feature of that confession that it was taken in several parts, subscribed and sworn to sepa rately. The other sections have never been made public. William O'Neill, who keeps the hotel at the head of navigation on the St. Joo, where Orchard and Simpkins stopped in the Fall of 1905, is here as a witness.

It is understood he will give testi mony respecting the finding of the Pea body bomb in the river at "Wallace, the bomb which Orchard brought from Colo rado, and which he discarded on the ad vice of Simpkins as being too heavy, giv ing it to a man named Cunningham. An other man who knows something of that bomb is Joseph Roach, of Denver, a plumber. Orchard took the sheet lead from which the case of the bomb was made to this man to have holes bored in It. He asked Orchard what he intended to do with the perforated lead and the latter said he intended to raise cactus plants in it. , G. W. Rich Is another witness on the - - v -. - i : .

He kept the Tupper House at Pocatello at the time Steve Adams went down there in 1904 to kill the train load of nonunion miners. Four witnesses are on the way from Ogden to testify to Adams getting money from Haywood to get him out of jail in that city. Ex-Governor Peabody, of Colorado, is due to ar rive in the morning. Sensations Yet to Come. Attorneys for the state say the interest In this trial will grow more pronounced as the witnesses come on after Orchard is released. The latter will be re-examined by the state and that will extend the period of his stay on the stand. It is thought the defense will get through with him In two more days, but that Is not certain, and it seems likely that he will be on at least until Wednesday .night. The testimony following, it Is said, will be of the most interesting character, and that will certainly be true when- it comes to the turn of Steve Adams to go on.' The feeling is that the develop ments will be rapid and sensational throughout and that the story as thus rounded out will become more and more absorbing. . It Is the present intention of the state to put on its witnesses for the corrobor ation of Orchard's testimony immediately after Orchard finishes. Steve Adams will be the last on that branch of the sub ject so far as now known. Adams will be taken to the county Jail upon his ar rival here tomorrow morning and will be kept there. The officers have feared an effort would be made to intercept him with a writ of habeas corpus while pass ing through Oregon, but that does not seem likely. LONG LIST OF BLOODY CRIMES t , Adams' Detailed Confession Is Said to Surpass That of Orchard's. BOISE, Idaho. June 9. Steve Adams, another prisoner witness for the state in the case against W. D. Haywood, is now on his way to Boise, coming from the Jail at Wallace, where he is held pending trial on the charge of murder. Adams, according to Harry Orchard, was the partner of the great assassinator in many of the "bumplng-off" expeditions, success ful and unsuccessful, to which. Orchard has made confession. Adams had also confessed last year, but, unlike Orchard, he repudiated the document when he faced the gallows. The confession is. however, sworn and in writing. It shows careful correction and interlineation in Adams' own handwriting. Astounding though it may seem, those who have seen Adams' confession say It surpasses Or- (Concluded on Page 3.)

That the Japanese-Pacific Coast and the Progressives, a political party of Japanese, have en tered Into an alliance which has the ear marks of an International conspiracy, with the overthrow of the present minis try in Japan and the annulment of the clause in the immigration bill excluding Japanese coolie labor from continental United States, as the ultimate objects, was learned authoritatively here today. The preliminary steps in this scheme, it Is said, will be to Induce the Toklo gov ernment to recall Viscount Aokl. the Jap anese Ambassador to the United States, for the alleged acts of violence against Japanese subjects residing in San Fran cisco. With this end in view, representatives of the faction hostile to the Saonjl min istry have been in Washington to consult with the Japanese Ambassador and the State Department officials regarding the objectionable clause W tho immigration bill, the California school Question and the recent riots in San Francisco. The report which they have sent to Toklo, it Is alleged, will form the basis of a sys tematic campaign to bring about anti American demonstrations in Japan, and to force Minister Hayashi,. if possible, to demand indemnity and an apology on account of the Japanese disturbances in San Franeisco. Turned Down by Ambassador. These facts became known today for the first time when it was learned that T. Takahashi, representative of the Se attle Japanese Society; O. Noda, repre sentative of the San Francisco Japanese Society, and K. Kawakami, staff repre sentative of the Torozu (daily newspaper) of Toklo, came to Washington on April 21 and remained until May 12, during which they were negotiating with the Japanese Ambassador looking to the an nouncement of the Japanese immigration limitation law. This delegation failed in its purpose, and it Is stated, after charging Ambas sador Aoki with treachery to the Japa nese of the Pacific Coast and with mis representing conditions to his home gov ernment, they telegraphed to Ototaka Yamaoka, the personal representative of Count Okuma, who was awaiting their report in Seattle, with the request that he communicate with the anti-administration leaders In Toklo. Messrs. Taka hashi, Noda and Kawakami had an in terview with Assistant Secretary of State Bacon on May 8. They then telegraphed Yamaoka that they were dissatisfied with the attitude of the State Depart ment, and urged the necessity of carry ing the fight to Japan. Acting upon this suggestion Yamaoka sailed for Japan on May 14, on the steamer Akl, and it was pointed out today that the renewal of the anti-administration agitation in the Japanese press has begun since his arri val in Toklo, May 28. It is also believed here that he prompted the deputation of progressives to call on Foreign Minister Hayashi for an explanation of the gov ernment's apparent "inaction and want of efficiency in the presence of the grave M I li I I I I .!.

BRUTALITY OF "NEXT FRIENDS" Attempt to Take, Her Property Thus Characterized. MENTAL VIGOR UNUSUAL Result of Interview Convinces Writer That Christian Science Leader Is Well Able to Look Out for Herself and Her Property. BOSTON, Mass., June 9. (Special.) The most recent light thrown upon the men tal condition of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, upon which question a hearing is to be held tomorrow in the Superior Court at Concord, N. H., comes from an inter view had with her Saturday by Arthur Brisbane, the newspaper and magazine writer. Mr. Brisbane tonight outlined his observations while with Mrs. Eddy as follows: "I visited Mrs. Eddy as the representa tive of the Cosmopolitan Magazine. I had a long and extremely interesting talk with her. The conditions of Mrs. Eddy's home at Concord are, briefly, as follows: Those about her are devoted to her. She is in absolute control of her own move ments and mistress of her entire house hold, that is evident. Mrs. Eddy Is thor oughly competent to take care of herself and of her business. "The suggestion that she should be de prived of her personal liberty, or of the property that she has earned, is prepos terous and shameful. For a woman of her age she is 86 years old her mental vigor and clearness of thought is most unusual. I had every opportunity of con vincing myself thoroughly as to her men tal and physical condition. She talks clearly, logically. She reads beautifully. With a voice very musical and of great power. She understands business mat ters thoroughly. She speaks with intense feeling and gratitude of her friends and their devotion. To accuse these friends of conspiracy against her welfare is, in my opinion, disgraceful. 'I shall say at length in the Cosmo politan what I feel most deeply, namely, that if (Mrs. Eddy in her old age should be deprived by law of her fortune, of the right to dispose of it, or of the right to dispose of herself, the act would be out rageous And it would cause Just appre hension in the minds of all women past three score and ten and possessed of property that might arouse the cupidity or the interest of outsiders. "Mrs. Eddy lives under Ideal conditions of comfort, happiness and contentment. It would be sheer brutality on the part of the so-called "next friends' or any other to interfere with her life as It is today. "To interfere with Mrs. Eddy's life, to take away from her her complete liberty of action, would be a shameful outrage, and I am convinced that no court will en courage the effort. I shall write you more fully before preparing the article that I have promised. (Signed) "ARTHUR BRISBANH" WILL SEND WARSHIP .HERE Cruiser Charleston to Be Feature of the Rose Festival. ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 9. The cruiser Charleston, flagship of the Pacific sg.ua.dron. was to day ordered to Portland to participate in the rose festival, beginning June 19, and to remain in the harbor and take part in the Fourth of July celebration. This mMM.Jmm - - IDEA CONDT order was issued by the Secretary of the Navy by direction of the President. A week ago Senator Bourne requested that the ships of the Pacific squadron be sent to Portland to participate In these two celebrations, but he found the Navy Department disinclined to carry out the wishes of the people of Oregon, because the Department has established a new policy of maintaining the fleets as units in the interest of the service, and it had been decided to make no special details of this character. The Senator then took the matter to the President and interested him. It was discovered that all the large ships of the Pacific squadron are now out of commis sion except the Charleston and one torpedo-boat destroyer. When it was ascer tained that the Charleston, drawing 25 feet of water, could safely cross the bar and ascend the river to Portland, the : Vfe I Mrs. Mary Baker Kddy, Who Is Tip held by Arthur Brisbane and Pronounced by Him Competent of Managing Her Own Affairs.

Details Not Obtainable. MEXICO CITY, June 9. The Associated Press office here received a message from the Oaxaca Herald at a late hour tonight saying that a private message had been received In Oaxaca saying that President Cabrera, of Guatemala, had been assassi nated. No further details could be ob tained up to this time. Owing to the lateness of the hour, it was difficult to see officials In an en deavor to corroborate the story. Minis ter Manuel Glron, the Guatemalan repre sentative to Mexico, was seen at his home, but knew nothing of the alleged assassination. Dr. Francis Reyes, ex Minister of Foreign Relations in Salva dor, who is now in this city, declared that if the report was true it meant revolu tion in Guatemala. The report has caused great excitement in this capital, but there is a disposition to discredit the story. The message con veying the report of the assassination of President Cabrera was received by the daughters of General Barrundia, who was formerly a President of Guatemala, and who himself was assassinated some years ago. The message follows: The daughters of ex-President Barrundia of Guatemala, who live In this town, have received a telegram from Guatemala saying that President Cabrera has been assassinat ed. President Barrundia was assassinated some years ago on board an American war. vessel, and his daughters are known to have large interests in Guatemala. WASHINGTON, June 9. Manuel Estra da Cabrera, President of the Republic of Guatemala, reported assassinated in Guatemala City today, was 47 years of age. He came to the front in Guatemala during the battles which followed the death of President Barrios, who was also assassinated. Cabrera kept himself con stantly surrounded by a strong guard of soldiers, and it is said that all his meals were cooked by his own mother, because of Cabrera's fear of assassination by poisoning. In July, 1906, Cabrera attract ed the attention of the world by a war which .threatened to involve Guatemala, Salvador and Nicaragua. The United States sent one of her battleships and the matter was settled by the representatives of the states on board the American war ship. .

Eigthy-flve of the leading busi ness houses of Omaha are represented in the party that is combining business and pleasure by traveling with all possible convenience and forming friendships and closer trade relations with the people of the many cities visited.

They have been on the road a week and desired an opportunity to rest or spend Sunday sightseeing at their leisure. All entertainment was therefore postponed until today, when there will be a ride over the scenic car lines ot the city and a reception and luncheon at the Commercial Club. In tire visiting party are some of the most prominent citizens of Omaha.
