TITE MOKXKS'G OKEGOXIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1907. MOTEB . WITNESS IN HAYtVOOQ CASE Haywood Will Testify in His' , . Own Defense on Saturday. NO "SQUEAL" FROM MOYER finally extinguished last night shortly before midnight. About two whole sec tion of grain were destroyed, aggregating between 15,000 and 20,600 sacks. Intelli gence of these two fires and the re markable coincidence was suppressed by the officers of both corporations because of the suspicion naturally aroused by the two catastrophes occurring at pre cisely the same time. The officials of neither corporation will commit themselves. FLOCKING OVER BORDER Defense Kxpecta to Demolish Brad ley Bomb Story, but State Has Strong Rebuttal Evidence at Its Command. BOISE, Idaho,' July 4. (Special.) It has been announced by the attor neys for the defense In the Haywood case that they will put Charles H. Moyer on the stand. There have been persistent rumors that Moyer was likely to "squeal." These have been heard from time to time, even before the trial began. It has been specifical ly denied by the attorneys for the prosecution that they have knowledge of any such desire on Moyer's part, while Haywood's lawyers laugh at the suggestion. The announced purpose of the latter to put him on the stand shows their confidence In his loyalty .to their cause. Haywood is also to go on. Moyer will take the stand as soon as a number of minor witnesses shall have testified and the affidavits In the Bradley mater are Introduced. These minor witnesses may finish up tomorrow. The Bradley affidavits will then come on Saturday and Moyer may reach the stand before the week ends. . ' Did Bomb or Gas Hit Bradley. It li maintained by the defense that the Bradley affidavits and others se cured In San Francisco will demolish the story told by Orchard of having . blown the mining man up with a bomb, these affidavits showing the explosion was caused by Ras. The state, on the other hand, does not fear that showing. It also has affidavits and will have other rebuttal testimony on that matter. It is the general Impression that the defense will get through Tuesday, but that will be governed by the extent of the cross-examination of Haywood and Moyer. If these go at length Into all the features of the ease on their direct examination, the cross-examination may be extended, but it Is Intimated that the state will not pay much attention to them. After the defense rests, the stale will make a motion to strike out much of the testimony introduced in behalf -of Haywood unless In the meantime It Is connected up. That motion may con sume some time, but the Judge may be prepared to rule on It without a long argument. Strong Rebuttal Evidence. The rebuttal by the state Is likely to prove very strong. It is stated that It will have several good witnesses from the Coeur d'Alenes to show where Orchard was on the day of the destruction of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mill, demolishing the two . Mull an men on that point. Other features of the testimony for the defense as to Coeur d'Alene matters will also be attacked, and It Is said, there will be a general exposure of some of the witnesses. It is supposed the rebuttal will occupy about a week, so there is hope that the case will get to the jury about July 20. The last witness on the stand will be Harry Orchard. He will be put on in rebuttal to contradict certain statements made by witnesses for the defense. James McParland will also be on, as will George W. Rlddell, the detective who was so long in the councils of the union at Tel luride, Colo., and Eureka, Utah. Japanese Violate Immigration Law by Coming Through Mexico. MEXICO CITY, July 4. Two hundred and seventy-five Japanese landed at Santa Crux yesterday. The Japanese, like most of the others that land In this country, are headed for the coal mines In the district of Las Ksperanza. Joseph Z. Strand, a Chinese immigra-r lion Inspector stationed at El Paso, who arrived In this city today, stated that Japanese are flocking to the bor der In great numbers and buying tick ets from Juarez through to Canada, In order to enter the, United States, In violation of the recent provisions of the Immigration law, which closed the border to these Immigrants. Instead of going to Canada, it is stated, many stop at convenient points In the Uni ted States. . ITO CALLS DOWN EMPEROR Holds. Him Responsible for Corean Delegation to The Hague. SEOUL, July 4. Marquis Ito, at the palace yesterday, interrogated the Em peror regarding the presence at The Hague of a deputation seeking recogni tion of the claim that Japan has broken its pledge to maintain Corean indepen dence. The Emperor denied having any knowledge of the deputation or Its ac tion, whereupon Marquis Ito remarked: "It is not necessary to inquire who Is responsible for the deputation, as Its actions are self-explanatory and the whole world Is . in possession of the facts." In an Interview with a correspondent of the Associated Press, Marquis Ito said that the attempt being made at The Hague to connect Corean affairs with the San Francisco question would mis lead no one. The Intrigues of the Corean court, he added, were continuous. The reported facts that the peace con ference had not recognized the deputa tion and that no one had requested to see its credentials showed the ignorance of the outside world regarding this latest move of the Corean court, but the Em peror's persistence In such intrigues con stituted a hostile action against the Jap anese which must be stopped. Fire in Flooded Wheat Field. BAKERSFIELD, Cal., July 4. This morning the flood waters In the rich re claimed wheat lands in Jhe lower part of Kern County, caused yesterday by the breaking of the Buena Vlata Lake levee, continued to spread and rise unabated, and all ' resistance against their progress Is impossible until the auxiliary levee being constructed at the San Emedlo road ii complete and the waters reach that point. The break In the levee has widened continually, and it is reported that the entire levee is doomed. Coinci dental with the break In the levee yes terday was the breaking out of two large fires in the grain fields-of Miller & Lux, nearly 20 miles distant from the lake. After burning all 8ay the fires were DAMAGE NOT DONE BY MOB San Francisco Will Say Individuals Wrecked Restaurant. BAN FRANCISCO, July 4. Referring to the suit brought yesterday against the city In behalf of the proprietors of the Japanese restaurant and bath-house al leged to have been wrecked by a mob on May 23. Assistant City Attorney Baggett said: "The defense of the city will be that whatever injury was done to the prop erty of the .Japanese was done by two or three persons before a mob, in the sense of the law, had formed. The city will also claim that there was no riot, but will lay great stress upon the con tention that the damage, was done by a few persons before It was possible for a mob to have collected." United States Attorney Devlin has re ceived a letter from Attorney-General Bonaparte asking him to make an inves tigation and report Immediately on the action of the San Francisco officials In refusing to grant licenses to employment agencies conducted by Japanese. Ho at once began the investigation arid will make his report as soon as possible. Still Carries Chip on Shoulder. TOKIO, July The representation made by the Japanese Consul at San Francisco to the municipal authorities of that city in regard to the action of the latter in refusing to renew the licenses of Japanese employment agencies has not yet been replied to. This affair Is con sidered here as being of far graver char acter than the attacks upon Japanese res taurants and similar anti-Japanese Inci dents In San Francisco, as it Is held that It concerns the lasting personal rights of Japan. The reply of the San Francisco authorities to the Consul's representation is being awaited with considerable impa tience. Pending this reply no official ac tion has yet been taken by the Tokio government. $75,000 Worth of Toast. BATTLE CREEK, Mich., July 4.

" HOW TO GET PEACE -Nelidoff Tells Americans Arbi tration Is Way. DECLARES CZAR'S POLICY General Arbitration Treaty Will Ad vance Limitation of Armaments. Agreement Near on the Re striction of Mines. THE HAGUE, July 4. President Nelidoff, of . the peace conference, to day roceived Miss Anna Eckstein, of Boston, Mass., who presented a peti tion signed by over 2,000,000 Ameri cans in favor of a general arbitration treaty. M. Nelidoff congratulated her on the number of signatures and said the petition was in the right direction, for. If any limitation of armaments was possible it would have to be done through arbitration. Russia, he con tinued, had not renounced her original programme, but to carry it out it was necessary to have recourse to arbi tration. The development of interna tional law and international courts must be dictated by a full understand ing between the states and people, the furtherance of mutual good will and love of Christ. The conference, M. Nelidoff said, would discuss whether it should meet periodically, but he did not believe that the present conference would arrive at a decision on the subject. Robert Treat Paine, president of the American Peace Society, who was present at the interview between M. Nelidoff and Miss Eckstein, said that it assumed great importance owing to the fact that it occurred on the Fourth of July, which he considered to be a good omen. The subcommittee ' on the bombard ment of harbors, laying of mines, etc., met this afternoon, Dr. Hagerup (Nor way) presiding. He summarized the propositions presented and proposed that the committee take up the British proposition prohibiting the laying of floating mines as a basis for discus sion. After statements from several of the delegates. Captain Ottley, R. N., Great Britain, declared that the British government would accept the Italian and Japanese amendments, per mitting the laying of floating mines, on condition that they are provided with some apparatus which would render them inoffensive after the ex piration of a certain, period. Italy proposes that the same rule be applied to fixed mines, so as to render them useless if they break adrift. DEMANDS MACLEAN'S LIBERTY Britain Urges Sultan to Act Gener al's Valorous Deeds. ' LONDON. July 4. The British govern ment has demanded of the Moroccan gov ernment that prompt steps be taken to secure the release of General Sir Harry McLean, commander of the Sultan's bodyguard, who was captured by Ral suli. the bandit chief. - No uneasiness is felt here, about the safety of General McLean, but it Is be lieved that with so powerful a personage as a hostage Ralsull will drive a hard bargain with the Sultan. MacLean's handsome daughter Is cred ited with having great Influence with the Sultan. In fact, she Is styled "the Em press of Morocco." MacLean is the commander-in-chief of the Moorish army, has a splendid palace in Fez and gets a salary of $35,000 a year. He became a Mohammedan manv years ago and virtually a Moor. His deeds of valor have been numerous, ut his great est achievement was when his patron. Sultan Mulaj, died of fatigue during a campaign against some turulent tribes. MacLean concealed the death, carrying the corpse in a gorgeous golden litter un til he reached the capital, where he smug gled the body In through a hole In the wall and then met and proclaimed the new Sultan. MacLean knew that news of the death of Mulaj would be the signal of a military revolt which would result In an enemy of his being placed on the throne.

Much interest has been aroused in this city by the pub lication of extracts from the unpub lished memoirs of Constantino Nigra, dean of the Italian diplomats, whose death was announced two days ago.

The French Ambassador, he said, after the withdrawal of the Hohenzollern candi dature to the throne of Spain, demand ed William's assurance that this candi dature would not be again proposed. This the Emperor refused and notified the Ambassador that he could not re ceive him again. The same day Bis marck sent a dispatch to all the Prus eian Ambassadors relating the inci dents.
