TALKED TO JURY
Stump Speech by Wit
ness for Haywood.
ENGLEY'S TONGUE RUNS WILD
Tells Horrors of Telluride and
Deportation.
MALICH IM PREDICAMENT
Denies Suggesting Bomb-Throwing
to Orchard, but Grows Confused
About Burning of Store Aiken
Answers Orchard's Story.
BOISE. Idaho, July 2. iSpecial.) To
day in the Haywood case the Jury lis
tened to a stump speech by Eugene Engr
ley, the man who was elected Attorney
General of Colorado on the ticket that
. was headed by "Bloody Bridles" Waite,
and the speech was one that would have
made Waite or any other extremist feel
joyful. It came about during the cross
examination of Mr. Engley by Senator
Borah.
The fire-eater had been telling a long
story of his experiences In Telluride,
where he lived. He had insisted on mak
ing an address every time he was asked
a question, answering right over objec
j tlons and launching out into all manner
of statements. Mr. Borah tried again
and again to stop him and the Judge
admonished him several times, but Mr.
Engley paid little attention. He was
there to describe the "horrors" at Tell
uride after the district was put under
martial law, and he proposed to do so.
He ran on and described bis deportation.
Continuing, he told the jury of his sec
ond deportation and was obliged to ad
mit it was at the hands of his neighbors,
the people among whom he had lived so
long. . , .
, Borah IOts His Tongue Run.
Mr. Borah evidently concluded that, as
Mr. Engle was determined to talk, he
might as well start the witness off upon
something that might prove interesting.
So, as the cross-examination drew toward
a conclusion, the Senator casually asked
if he were a Socialist. Mr. Engley
made a long speech In reply, saying if it
was meant that he was for the initiative
and referendum, the Government owner
ship of railways, or the imperative man
date, he was not a Socialist, but "if you
mean that I favor the restoration to the
human family of a planet now largely
confiscated by a few, I am a Socialist."
Mr. Borah was about to ask a new
question, when the witness proceeded:
"I might add that I am not riding
around In the golden- ohariot- of the Re
publican party or bumping about in the
garbage cart of ths Democracy."
"Are you on the band wagon with Eu
gene V. Debs?'; asked Mr. Borah.
"Well, I guess I will have to answer
that question In the affirmative."
Debs Too Mild for Him.
"In other words, you are a Debs So
cialist?" Mr. Engley was not prepared to say
be was a Debs Socialist. Mr. Debs was
too mild for him.- He said Mr. Deba was
a most admirable man and had written
many good things, but he was altogether
too Inactive. Mr. Debs was a man of
words and not of actions; he never car
ried out any plan; he did not go far
enough. Mr. Engley continued at much
length, referring to the moneyed classes
and the plutocrats in bitter terms and an
nouncing his advocacy of the plan of
making an end of .their sway; he would
restore the property to the people. When
ever he showed signs of coming to a
period, Mr. Borah would drop in another
question and Mr. Engley would start out
anew and give another chapter;
This continued for IS or 20-minutes, and
when the witness finally determined he
had expounded his views sufficiently Mr.
Borah announced "That's all," and the
former Attorney-General stepped down
from the chair as proud as a peacock.
He had secured an opportunity to talk
Socialism of the rankest kind, but he had
been weaving threads ito the rope by
which ths man at the bar is menaced,
for he was giving the Jury an Idea of
the kind of doctrine which the friends of
Haywood preach.
Witness Badly Confused.
Of the six witnesses on the stand today,
four were saloonmen, the exceptions be
ing Mr. Engley and Edward McParland.
a brother of the famous detective. There
have been many of the class on the stand
since the defense began.
Two of those on the. stand today
were Austrlans. Max Malich and Joe
Mehelech. These men, as well as
"Billy" Aiken, all of whom Orchard
had Implicated in many matters of a
criminal character, each denied every
statement Orchard had made, but some
of them became dreadfully confused
on cross-examination. Mr. Malich was
willing to admit there was talk with
Orchard of blowing up a hotel at
Globevllle, in which several hundred
non-union smeltermen lived, but he
charged it was Orchard who proposed
the thing. It was the same with the
proposed murder of William McDonald,
manager of the company store run
ning In opposition to Mr. Malich.- Ths
witness had indignantly refused to
listen to such plans. Futher, he heard t
Orchard announce his purpose of kill
ing Steunenberg.
, On cross-examination Mr. Borah
drew from him the fact that he had
after hearing all those statements by
Orchard, offered to back the latter to
go into the saloon business. The
business establishment conducted by
Mr. Malich burned down. Its pro
prletor took care to explain he was
on his ranch 400 miles away at that
time. Oni cross-examination he got
mixed sadly in trying to explain how
he got the news in time to reach Den
ver at the time given by him. for his
ranch was far away from telegraph
lines.
Makes Malich Turn Red.
Then he did not know the state had
reason to believe the place was burned
for the insurance and that the liquors
had all been taken out and stored in Pet
tibone's Etore before the application of
the match. "When Mr. Borah began to
Inquire about those features of the mat
ter, he got red in the face and, though
he denied the allegations vigorously, he
was completely discredited by his man
ner. The other Austrian likewise denied
what Orchard had said about him. Mr.
Malich and Mr. Engley were two of the
impeaching witnesses and both declared
they heard Orchard threaten to kill
Steunenberg.
The other testimony of the day was
relative to conditions in the Colorado
mining districts before and after the
calling in of troops, especial attention
being given to the deportations. , That
kind of testimony may have some effect
if some Juror should be drawn into sym
pathy with the deported men and thus
become a partisan of the defense, but
when the state shows on rebuttal why
drastic measures were necessary, the im
pression that may have been made on
the jury is likely to be swept away.
SAY ORCHARD PROPOSED PIjOT
Witnesses Contradict Informer En
gley Turns His Tongue Ioose.
BOISEJ, Idaho, July 2. Max Malich,
Joe Mehelich and Billy Aikman, three
of the men variously implicated in al
leged misconduct at Globevllle, Denver
and Cripple Creek on the word of
Harry Orchard, went to the stand to
day as witnesses for W. D. Haywood
and made denial of Orchard's testi
mony. Malich swore that Orchard, and
not he, suggested the Inhuman plot of
dynamiting a boarding-house full of
nonunion smeltermen at Globevllle, and
that Orchard originated the idea of
killing William McDonald, one of
Mallch's business rivals.
He said he had been burned by some
mysterious acid thrown into his house
by an unknown hand, but he denied
that this acid - was really "Pettibone
dope" that had been left In -hia-room by
Steve Adam3.' He also denied that the
"Pettibone dope" had been used in burn
ing his store, and testified that he was
at his ranch when the Are occurred.
He also swore that Orchard bad told
him that, but for Governor Steunen
berg, he (Orchard) would be rich, and
that he Intended to kill Steunenberg.
McParland's Brother a Witness.
Mehelich on cross-examination - also
made positive and circumstantial denials
of all the things Orchard swore they did
with him. The cross-examination of all
three witnesses showed a purpose on the
part of the state to further deal with the
testimony when the case in rebuttal is
reached. When Orchard is recalled, he
will be asked to give his version of the
alleged use of the "Pettibone dope" in
burning Mallch's store at Globevllle.
Another unusual feature was contributed
to this unusual case with .Its background
of plots and counter-plots, criminal, In
dustrial and political, by the appearance
as a witness for the defense of W. H.
McParland, a brother of Detective James
McParland, ' who ' worked" up ' the case
against Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone
and obtained Orchard's confession. This
McParland is a shoemaker at Manitou
and he came to tell that, while he was
following his peaceful craft at Victor
during the strike, he was unceremonious
ly taken from his home by the militia,
thrust into the "bullpen" and then de
ported. ,
Hard to Check His Tongue.
Eugene Englee, ex-Attorney-General of
Colorado, swore that Orchard told him of
the loss of a rich share in the Hercules
mine and of his Intention to kill Steun
enberg. Mr. Englee told at great length
how the military authorities at Cripple
Creek defied the processes of the civil
court, how he was himself deported from
Telluride, where he went as counsel for
the Federation, and how he was later de
ported from Cripple Creek the day the
mob destroyed the union store at Gold
field. His entry into extended descrip
tions and minute details brought repeat
ed objections from the prosecution, and
finally the Judge Intervened to limit him
to the material facts to save the time of
the court and Jury. v
The defense also produced Thomas C.
Foster, now a bartender of Blsbee, Aria.,
who, as a union miner, was tried and
acquitted at Cripple Creek on the. charge
that he had attempted to wreck a train
on the Florence & Cripple Creek Rail
road. Mr. Foster told of his experience
in the "bullpen," an attempt of Detec
tives D. C. Scott and K. Sterling to force
a confession from him, which was fol
lowed by 17 days of solitary confinement
and his final flight from the district,
when he walked 30 miles and fasted for
over 30 hours.
Refused to Blow Vp Hotel.
Max Malich, an Austrian, who was
a emelterman at Globevllle, Col., dur
ing the strike of 1903, but afterwards
became proprietor of a small hotel and
Is now a carpenter and miner, testified
that he was Introduced to Orchard as
Tom Hogan, in February, 1906, by A.
W. Gratlas, who has since proved to
be a Plnkerton detective. At that time
Orchard was living with Steve Adams
and his wife. The witness denounced
as false Orchard's statement that he
had suggested that they blow up a
hotel occupied by 150 non-union miners
and that Mr. Malich had helped him
to steal 100'pounds of dynamite from
the Union Pacific powder-house. He
said Orchard or Hogan came to him
one day and said: '

Only Two Ships Ordered to Pacific.
Aokl Says Japan Would Not
Regard Iarge Fleet on
Pacific With Alarm.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 2. This Government is not
going to throw fuel on the anti-American
flames now burning in Japan by or
dering IS battleships from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, as has been reported In
some dispatches. Assistant Secretary
Newberry of the Navy Department said
today that no large movement of war
ships from the Atlantic to the Pacific
was contemplated. The Washingtpn and
Tennessee, now In Bordeaux, are under
orders to Join the Pacific squadron later
on, but aside from that no general move
ment Is contemplated. His stafement Is
substantiated by an official announcement
made today at Oyster Bay.
It Is pointed out in diplomatic circles
that the Japanese government does not
countenance the anti-American agitation
that Is in progress in that country, and
this Government, as such, entertains the
most friendly feeling for Japan. It
therefore being mutually understood that
the relations of the two governments are
most amicable, there could be no reason
for now moving 16 battleships to the
Pacific.
Some naval experts who can scent war
every time they Bmell.firecrackers are re
sponsible for sensational reports that
have been in circulation, but these ex
perts are not speaking by authorllty.
There Is to be no general change in the
stations of our warships. Ultimately
the Pacific fleet will be strengthened, as
It needs to be, but there Is no intention
of unnecessarily, exposing the Atlantic
Coast with Its many great cities at a
time when It Is believed there Is no dan
der of war on the Pacific'

WASHINGTON, July 2. "No, the Japa
nese would not regard it as an unfriendly
act if the American Government' saw fit
to increase her naval representation in
her territorial water upon the Padflo
Coast, or even if she sent additional men-
of-war to the Asiatic station. She would
not look upon It as a menace or regard It
with regret."
These were the words of Viscount Aokl.
the Japanese Ambassador to the United
States, whose attention was called today
to published reports that the General
Board of the Navy had recommended to

they were true. He disliked, he said,- to
appear in the public prints, .when there
was no reason for It, but he felt at per
fect liberty to 'say . what he did on this
subject.
JAPANESE DENY MISSTATEMENT
-Those of San Francisco Show Fair
Spirit to Americans.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1-The Japa
nese Association of America has issued
the following statement:
"Five of the principal chambers of com
merce in Japan recently addressed a com
munication to chambers of commerce in
America setting forth the grievances of
Japanese residents In San Francisco and
Including among such grievances the de
nial of the right of education. This par
ticular portion of the communication
reads as follows:
The rich of education has been denied
them. The Japanese Association of America,
which has its headquarters in 6an Francis
co, believes that In Justice to the people
of California and the whole country this
erroneous statement should be corrected and
false impressions removed. Japanese children
Samael Small, President of Comxner-
clal Telegraphers' Union.
in San Francisco are not now denied the
right of education. On the contrary, there
are as many Japanese scholars in the pub
llo. schools as there wore before the earth
quake and tire of April iS. 1906, and they
are receiving the same treatment and fame
advantages that are given to the pupils
of other nationalities and are admitted to
the same schools.
. In making this correction. nXMFWftamim
Association of America wishes to show Its
desire for fairness, and it hopes that Its
efforts to bring about friendly relations be
tween ths Japanese and the people of San
Francisco and the State of California will
have the. sympathy and support of the mer
chants and business men of the state.

Against San Francisco.
TOKIO, July 2. The Nichl Nlchl in a
leader regrets the necessity of being com
pelled to write again on the American
question in defense of the rights of the
Japanese compatriots in San Francisco.
"Developments in the anti-Japanese
sentiment," says the paper, "show signs
of progressive and systematic movements
aiming at the deprivation of the sources
of livelihood of our compatriots. The last
clause of article 2 of the treaty can
properly be called Into operation only
after a law has been passed, but no legal

BT P. A. SINSHEIMER.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2. (Special
Correspondence.) Events of such magni
tude have followed each other with such
rapidity in San Francisco that one at a
distance may be inclined to ask, "How
did It all happen? What will it all come
to?" In the midst of all the unusual
happenings, during all the excitement,
the San Franciscan has remained cool,
blessed with the old-time American as
surance, "Oh, It will all come out all
right."
It may be interesting at this time to
review the situation and to trace in out
line the work accomplished by Francis
J. Heney and his co-workers. This letter
will confine Itself to a statement of con
ditions that led up to the Investigation.
Subsequent letters will deal with the in
vestigation, the labor, financial and other
problems.
It Is as difficult to say where it all
began as It is to say where it will end.
What brought the Ruef-Schmlt machine
to its ruin? With some truth it may
be answered that It fell from Its own
weight, --Again It might be said that the
fusion movement of the Democrats and
Republicans In 1905, and again it may be
said the suicide of Jeanle McNeil,
pretty schoolgirl of 16, were the causes
But whichever it was, it was through
Mr. Heney and his associates that the
work was accomplished.
Causes of the Crash.
If one chooses to believe that the ma
chine fell of its own weight, he will
argue that, like the house of cards, it
had been built too high, that Its founda
tion was a morass of corruption and at
the first hard blow it must crumble. If
one chooses to believe that It was the
fusion movement which destroyed Ruef,
he will argue that, when the Joint ticket
entered the field with Henry Branden
stein as the nominee for District At
torney with the express object of bring
ing Ruef to justice. It became necessary
for Ruef to go beyond his own circle to
find a man at once honest and popular
enough to defeat Brandensteln. That
man was District Attorney Dangdon and
In electing Mr. Dangdon, Ruef opened the
penitentiary door for himself.
If, finally, one chooses to believe that
it was suicide of the schoolgirl that
brought ruin to Ruef and Rueflsm, he
will argue that, had she not killed her-
TWO LIDS?
self, the means of detecting Ruef and
his crew in their1 criminal work would not
have been opened. Jeanle McNeil, It
should be explained, was the daughter of
a well-known physician. She was In the
habit of visiting the skating rinks and,
when her school friends spoke unkindly
of her, she killed herself. An Indignant
public demanded that the skating rinks
be subjected to legnl restrictions and in
the ordinances proposed to effect this re
form, William J. Burns found the oppor
tunity to trap three Supervisors while
accepting a bribe.
Fiddler and His Boss.
Ths- story of ths fiddling Mayor has
been told and reprinted all over the
world, Bchmlta was not only a fiddler,
but a bad fiddler. True, be was paid
$150 a month to lead the orchestra at the
Columbia Theater, . but the orchestra
never ranked high in the political world
Schmitz and Abe Ruef, his lawyer friend.
were closely associated in many enter
prises. They were as Inconspicuous as
any other orchestra leader and young
politician in any other large city. They
entered politics together. They -went In
as reformers they all do. Ruef and
Schmitz were co-workers In the Republi
can primary league, which numbered in
its membership the best men of the
party. Ruef and Schmitz displayed some
ability as organizers and they did well
in their district.
Shortly before the nominating conven
tion in 1901, Schmitz, the musician, in
one of his confidential talks with Ruef,
the lawyer, stammered out a confession
"Ruef," said Schmitz, "I've been
thinking that I'd like to run for Tax
Collector."
"Tax Collector be damned," swiftly
replied Ruef. "Gene, I'm going to
make you Mayor."
bchmltz colored under his sable
beard and asked Ruef to stay on the
earth. Then it was that Ruef for th
first time, explained to Schmitz the
future he had mapped out.
Im going to organize a labor
party," said Ruef. ( "Things are ripe
for it with this teamsters' strike
raising hell and. Gene, you're going
to be nominated for Mayor, and you're
going to be elected."
The rest is history. Schmitz was
nominated, elected and became Mayor
of prosperous, buoyant San Franclaco
on New Tear's day, 1901. He flushed
with a pride almost girlish the first
morning he found himself Mayor of
the city, and the newspaper men
showered their good wishes upon him.
Heney's Prophetic Speech.
Soon the famous letter from Schmitz
to Ruef was made public, which has
since been termed "a letter of
marque." It vrw not long before the
game of graft was put Into operation,
but carried on the crest of the labor
wave, "Schmitz was swept into office
again in. 1903 . and 1905. With each
succeeding success the pair became
bolder until at last they were thieving
In the open.
It was In the campaign of 1905 that
'Mr. Heney, fresh from his victories In
Oregon, came to San Francisco and
entered the battle against Schmitz.
Mr. Heney is a close friend of Henry
Brandensteln, and It was his desire
to defeat Mr. Langdon as District At
torney and elect Mr. Brandensteln
who had mapped out a legal campaign
against the grafters that brought him
Into the political battle. It was in
the Mechanics' pavilion three days be
fore the election that Mr. Heney made
the prediction that, if elected, Schmitz,
backed by Ruef, would stop at nothing,
finally bringing matters to such a pass
that Mr. Heney himself would return
and send them both to prison. How
true this prediction was, the history of
the last few weeks has told.
Pirates Capture Everything.
It was a wild night in November,
1905, that Ruef swept into office not
only his puppet Mayor, but carried
every office and hurled Into power a
Board of Supervisors recruited from
the lower end In the city. Ruef never
expected to elect them, and was the
most astounded man in the' city when
he found that he had Inflicted the
Lonergans, , the Gallaghers and the
Colemans upon the city. In their ex
cess of Joy, the newly elected .howled
with glee when flames shot Heaven
ward from the Chronicle tower, little
guessing that. In a few months a
mightier flame would sweep the city
and lay bare their Infamy.
The assortment of human cattle which
composed this Board of Supervisors has
been described too often to need further
mention at this time. Suffice It to say
that on the night of election one of them
was heard to say to his fellow, "They
tell me there's $18,000,000 in bonds just
voted. Now there' are Just 18 of us on the
board. That means $1,000,000 apiece.
Think of It, kid, 11,000,000 apiece!"
Secret caucuses became the rule. The
board meets every Monday afternoon.
Regularly every Sunday night Ruef,
Schmitz and the members of the board
gathered In secret caucus and arranged
the programme for the week. Bach man
was told how. to vote. In many cases It
was arranged who should oppose and
who should favor a measure, what argu
ments were to be used In debate and
what the final vote should be.
Ruef and Schmitz said they simply de
sired to train the Supervisors In matters
of legislation. The good citizenship of
San Francisco was disgusted, but power
less. The newspapers thundered, but the
administration forces, under the reassur
ing declaration from Ruef, "Let them
bark," kept on their way.
Fight on Trolley Franchise.
In Jhe Spring of last year Rudolph
Spreckels with James D. Phelan and
other prominent Sah Franciscans made
strenuous objection when Patrick Cal
noun, of the United Railroads, announced
that he would Insist that the Supervisors
allow him to convert his cable roads Into
overhead trolley lines. Mr. Phelan and
Mr. Sprekels at that time were enthusi
astic advocates of the Burnham plans for
the adornment of San Francisco, and
they figured that an overhead trolley sys
tem not only lacked the advantage of
modernity, but would mar the scheme de
vised for the adornment of the city.

COUNTY ATTORNEY CENSURED
Accused Man Is Released on
Serious Charge.
WRONG PLEA BY. LAWYER
Encourages Jury to Sympathize With
Person If He Had Slurdered
the Alleged Offender
In Cold Blood.
.DES MOINES, Iowa. July 2. The Su
preme Court of Iowa has no patience
with the "unwritten law." In a decision
delivered this morning, the court re
pudiates the doctrine, and administers a
stinging rebuke to G. A. Barnes, County
Attorney of Dubuque County, who made
an argument to a Jury construed to coun
tenance a resort to this measure.
The decision is in the case ef Dr. P. M.
Harmann, a physician of Dubuque, who
was charged by his wife with adultery.
Mrs. Mamie Kelfer, of Dubuque, was
named in connection with the case. The
prosecution attracted wide publicity at
the time of the trial In the lower court,
and resulted In a conviction of the physi
cian. During the trial the County Attorney
said: "Instead of trying a case of adul
tery here, gentlemen of the Jury, you
should be here for the purpose of deter
mining whether or not Jacob Kelfer
would have been guilty of murder If he
had exercised his manhood and taken a
gun and shot through the heart of Dr.
Harmann."
The Supreme Court says: "This
statement has no foundation In law or
fact, and It In highly important that
no such appeals be made. There Is
enough of a disposition for unthink
ing and unreasoning persons to take
the law Into their own hands, without
having it encouraged by the ministers
of the law. It was the duty of this
County Attorney to discourage the
very thing which he was countenanc
ing, and there was no other reason
in making the statement than to In
flame the passions and induce the jury
to right a supposed wrong which i
party had neglected to perform on nls
own behalf. .This attorney was not
even appealing to the socalled "un
written law" of the land, for no one
contends that Kelfer found his wlfa
In flagrant delicto, and it was improper,
to suggest such a remedy as he here
approved."
The Supreme Court reverses the ver
dict of the Jury on account of the ap
peal made by the County Attorney,
and holds that the evidence would bo
