VOL. XLVI.-XO 14,538. PORTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1907. PRICE FIVE CENTS. V - HAYWOOD UNDER FIRE PROM BORAH Two Theories of De fense Conflict. HIRED LAWYER FOR ORCHARD Yet Insist He Executed Private Vengeance. REBUTTAL BEGINS TODAY Jfaywood Admits Intimacy With Orchard, but Denies Paying for Crime Witness Arrives to Dis prove Mullan Poker Story. BOISE, Idaho. July 12. (Special.) On his cross-examination W. D. Haywood sought to restrict tho operation of the rule heretofore announced under which the Western Federation of Miners aimed to defend Us members anywhere who might be accused of crime. He stated that it applied only to cases in which the organization had an Interest by reason of being charged with some measure of responsibility. Later on, when, near the close. Senator Borah propounded a ques tion whether, if Orchard and Simpklns had killed Steunenberg for personal reasons, the Federation would have taken up the defense, Haywood with hesitation replied in the negative. As it has been stated -ery insistently throughout the trial that Orchard committed the murder because of having lost his interest In the Hercules mine, the answer left the two subJecU much entangled and hung In the air. Rises to Bother Defense. Another matter that constantly arises to bother the defense is the employment of Fred Miller to go to Caldwell to defend Thomas Hogan, by which name Orchard was then known. Haywood testified about the matter today, going Into the subject of the telegram sent by Simpklns on January 4, announcing he could not get an attorney at Spokane to defend Hogan. Mr. Borah asked him why it was that he sent such a dispatch, when he had secured Miller the day . before, and Haywood did not attempt to answer. Disprove Poker Game Story. It developed today that the man who was Orchard's partner In the wood busi ness in the Coeur d'Alenes, in 1895, was Dan Galney. of Walla "Walla, the man who had both feet blown off at the In dependence depot. He is the man who wrote the remarkable letters to Orchard after his confession. Mr. Galney Is here to Impeach Domlniek Flynn, one of the men who testified that Orchard was playing poker at Mullan on the day of the destruction of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mill. He win testify he asked Flynn shortly after that date about Or chard and Flynn told him he had not seen Orchard for many weeks. There will be no motion on the part of the state to strike out any part of the testimony, and the rebuttal will begin as soon as one more witness has been heard for the defense In the morning. HAYWOOD STANDS FIRE AVELL Admits Knowledge of Orchard, De nies Complicity in Crime. BOISE, Idaho. July 12. William D. Haywood, the defendant charged with the murder of Frank Steunenberg, left the witness chair this afternoon. He had been under examination six hours, the time being equally divided between his own counsel and Senator Borah, who con ducted the cross-examination. Haywood's testimony in his own behalf practically closes the side for the defense. One wit ness will be called tomorrow morning and his examination will take up about 15 minutes. Counsel for the defense will then -announce their close, and the state will begin the rebuttal, unless motions to strike out certain parts of the evidence should be brought forward by the de fense. Counsel for the state announce their willingness to abide by the instruc tions' of the court to the Jury and will not occupy time with arguments on motions to strike out. There is now a prospect that the case may be brought to a con clusion within two weeks. Faces' Borah's Rapid Fire. The announcement that Mr. Borah would cross-examine Haywood brought out in unusually large attendance. When Clarence Darrow, Haywood's. . counsel, closed the direct examination of his client and quietly remarked: "You1 may cross examine," the prisoner-witness turned In his chair and faced Mr. Borah, his face pale and Jaws firm-set. There was a stir in the courtroom and then an absolute silence. Mr. Borah's closs-examinatlon, always rapid-fire, was more than usually quick today, but from first to last, Hay . wood preserved complete self-possession and control. At times his replies came as quickly as the questions were flung at him. Again he would hesitate and speak slowly with a marked emphasis. His voice, low and musical, was seldom raised except once or twice, when a flat denial was given. Mr. Borah's manner was courteous throughout, but now and then a tinge of sarcasm or of sternness appeared as he Insisted on a direct answer and Haywood appeared reluctant. Haywood, In turn. wa a. courteous) aa th crasa-examlnec.J. Invariably he addressed Mr. Borah as "Senator" and repeatedly asked permis sion to explain when he thought there might be some misunderstanding. Once, when Mr. Borah pressed Haywood as to his sentiment toward ex-Governor Steun enberg. Haywood said quietly and with a smile: "I felt no different towards Steunenberg, Senator, than I do towards you or any of those people." Mr. Borah looked up quickly, out he did not smile. He said very. quietly: "Yes, I have been given to understand something of that sort," and did not pur sue the subject. Admissions and Denials. Haywood made no effort to deny his knowledge of Orchard and his affairs or his connection with Simpklns. He was pressed closely as to the passage of tele grams relating to the engagement of counsel to defend Orchard, and In this connection admitted that he knew Simp klns had retained counsel, but that there was no record of any report from Simp klns to the officials of the Western Fed- Olfford rinchot. Chief Forester of United states. eration. Haywood explained the draft sent to Simpklns for $100 on December 21, 1905, on the ground that Simpklns had left money with him for safe keeping. He had no acknowledgement of the receipt of the money, and has not heard from Simpklns since that time. Haywood In many particulars confirmed Orchard, but where Orchard connected Haywood1 or the Western Federation with crime, the witness was very emphatic and prompt In his denials. He showed no hesitation or desire to conceal the fact that Orchard had visited him at his house or that he on different occasions had in timate conversations with Orchard. Throughout Haywood- rang the note of antagonism to what he calls the capitalis tic class and his confirmed view that only by such methods as those followed by the Western Federation, can the worklngtnen hope to control the situation. " Domlniek Flynn, one of the defense wit nesses, was recalled by the state when the case opened. He was asked as to a conversation he had with Daniel Ga ney at Mullan, Idaho, in 1899. The ques tions were evidently for the purpose of Impeachment. After Flynn left the stand, Haywood was recalled and the direct ex amination was continued. Orchard at Haywood's House. Haywood said that Orchard had been at bis house three or four times. Most of the members of the union when they were in Denver called at his home, the witness declared.

(Staff Correspondence). The government tug Guy Howard is leaving her moorings below Port Stevens at 11 o'clock tonight to steam out to aea and attempt to slip In past the bat teries ' during darkness. Flashlights are playing the harbor and ocean in every direction and the forts are de termined that the tug shall not get by. The little vessel is about the sire of a torpedo boat, which it will rep resent. Its success In saining the harbor would .seem to indicate that an enemy might perform the same feat. All the primary stations at the forts are manned and the artillery force Is sleeping at the guns. The tug Is In command of Captain Gor don.

Simulated war Is on at the mouth of the Clumbla River. A hostile fleet is. In theory, out at sea- I waiting a favorable chance to fight Her J way past the land defenses and lay tribute on Portland, Astoria and other river cities. Since 8 o'clock this morning, when war was declared, the batteries have repulsed seven squadron attacks and driven half . dozen Jandi ig parties to their fleet. Attacks from the sea have been made at unexpected periods through the day. each vessel poking Its nose across the bar being designated as a fleet of belligerent cruisers. . Mor tars and coast rifles have been boom ing a deafening welcome to all these theoretical fleets. Men have been kept on the run answering the shrill, quick notes of the call to arms, and getting into position for each succeeding brush with the enemy.

The swift little tug represents a flotilla of torpedo boats and destroyers. The garrison Is determined that it shall be sighted and winged before It gets within 10.000 yards of the harbor. The harbor will be watched as carefully tonight as If an enemy were actually at hand. The success of a flotilla of torpedo . boats In getting Into the harbor and behind the batteries would be fatal to Forts Columbia and Stevens. The searchlights will be manned throughout the night, as it is not known at what hour the tug will attempt to creep Into the harbor. The attack may come at 10 o'clock, at midnight or not until 2 o'clock In the morning. The artillerymen are sleeping behind the coast guns and the Infantry supports are sleeping on their arms, fully dressed and ready to take the field at a second's' no tice. Governor's Welcome Interrupted. The first artillery duel of today oc curred at 11:15 this morning. Just as Governor Chamberlain, his staff, Adjutant-General Finseer and Colonel Jack son were arriving at camp from Seaside to .witness the maneuvers. The elght pounders were Just firing a salute In the Governor's honor, when the lookout In the primary stations sighted a steamer off the bar. Call to arms was sounded, the men rushed to their places and the honorary salute had to be left half fin ished. Under the conditions of war the first and most Important duty was to put the approaching fleet out of commission. The mortar battery, manned by a mixed crew of Oregon reserves and reg ular coast artillerymen, opened fire at 11,000 yards. As the steamer crept In closer, the 10-inch rifles were trained o it. and a steady fire kept up for 15 min utes. Governor Chamberlain and party were driven to the front and witnessed the engagement until the Invading fleet was putj theoretically, out of existence. . Half an hour of quietude followed, during which the visitors were shown about the fortifications. Then the observers In the primary stations sighted a sailing ves sel headed In. Call to arms passed from battery to battery, the sharp staccato notes of the trumpets giving an impres sion not unlike that produced by a pack of watchdogs that have suddenly dis covered a prowler. The 10-inch battery dealt with this attack, firing a dozen rounds of blank ammunition, until the squadron was declared at the bottom. The batteries at Fort Columbia Joined In the bombardment.

Governor Chamberlain and party were entertained at Lieutenant-Colonel Poorman's headquarters In the rear of the 10-lnch batteries, where they were Joined by the officers of the garrison.

While at Fort Stevens the Governor and party had an opportunity of ob serving the work of the Oregon militia men behind the coast defense guns with the regulars. That the guardsmen had become skilled In handling the big ma chines of war during the brief week of drill was the subject of considerable sur prise. The men worked side by side with the expert regulars In the primary stations; they assisted in finding the range and azimuth of approaching ves sels at the batteries; they helped oper ate the heavy artillery, adjusting the pieces, loading and firing. At 3 P. M. the briskest skirmish of the day occurred, when two steamers ap peared in the harbor at one time. One steamer was outward bound and the (Concluded on Page 14.)

SEATTLE, Wash., July 12. This has been the high day of the convention. Seattle has discovered the convention and the convention has come Into Its own. Never has Christian Endeavor seemed stronger nor been supported by mora ample proof of Its effective ness. The great attraction tonight Is the visit of Vice-President Fair banks, gonial, "popular and a great Christlon. The Endeavorers gave him such greeting as any man might covet. In turn he delivered an address to the 12,000 delegates assembled. Oregon may not bo solid for Fairbanks, the candidate, but Is solid for him as the master Christian and as a good citi zen thoy are united. Oregon delegates 'led a strenuous life today and with scant time for meals and none for rest they stored away much knowledge for future use. Early In the morning the delegates began to gather at headquarters, and armed with flags and badges they soon made themselves conspiouous. With the Oregon state song ringing and their delegation yell resounding, they had a short state rally. More are com lng In every day from Oregon and the state may well take pride In the repre sentatives gathered here. A large seo tlon of seats to the right of the speak- FAIRBANKS MIS ers" stand Is reserved for their ex clusive use. and no seat Is left vacant. Some of the Great and Good. He who delights In striking personali ties will find his cup of joy brimming over If he chances to be so fortunate as to be at the Seattle Convention. No one religious gathering brings together such a company of men great and good from the ends of tne earth as Christian Endeavor gatherings In the international conventions. Here are found the men whose high privilege it is to shape relig ious and intellectual life for a vast por tion of the civilized people and these same men, great and good, are here free ly to give of their rich treasures for the training of the young people. And It is a good investment, as is wit nessed by the thousands of trained In telligent citizens whose first lessons were learned in Endeavor schools. One hesi tates to select from so large a company of men, all with equal claim for pre-eml- f U y f if- ' 4 s v $ t I' t I J t I BiiiMiiiiBiiiiiiTiiitiffliiiiiiin H-"--v iiMwrinnrn.'h f T. H.

Ira Landwlth, V. D., of Nash ville, Tenn., the moderator of the last General Assembly of he Cumberland Presbyterian Church before the union. Always the center of a group of dele gates, he sheds his light and humor on Just and unjust alike and some way the fund never seems to run low or yet lack lng.

HARRIMAN'S PfyNS MADE Attorney-General Advised That Com. petition Is Killed Between Mis sissippi and Pacific Harrl man to Form Company. XBW YORK, July 12.-fSpeela1.)-WaIl street was- agitated late- this afternoon by a rumor that the Interstate Commerce Commission, which has been investigating; the Harriman control of the Union and Southern Pacific, will make public Its report within a day or two and that It will recommend a separation of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific rail roads on the ground that they are com peting lines and that their operation as one system is against public policy and a direct violation of the Sherman law. At the office of H. H. Harriman the state ment was made that Mr. Harriman had no advance knowledge of the Commis sion's recommendation and had received no intimation as to when it would be made public. The Wall-street story declared that the commissioners had unanimously advised the Attorney-General to begin an action to force Union Pacific to divest Itself of an its southern Pacific stock, of which, It holds 900,000 shares. According to the report, so the story went, the two sys tems are In direct competition from 'the Mississippi Valley to the Paciflo Coast and arbitrarily fix rates in testrao -f-,. trade. The Commission believes, this story. continues, that there Is ample law to break up this combination. It has been known for several months that Mr. Harriman expects that some at tempt will be made to prevent the Union Pacific from holding the stocks of com peting lines, and It Is said that his law yers have been at work upon a plan to enable the Union Pacific to divest Itself of these securities voluntarily and there by prevent long and expensive litigation, such as occurred in the Northern Secur ities fight. It is said that Mr. Harrlman's plan Is to form a holding company sim ilar to the Railroad Securities Company, which he organized several years ago to hold his Illinois Central stock. The legality of this company has never been attacked. MUST SOT CHARGE TOLLS Commission Decides Against Harri man on Coast Line Traffic. WASHINGTON. D. C, July 12.-A case ot particular Importance to San Francisco and the Paciflo Coast generally was de cided today by the Interstate Commerce Commission. It was what is known as the San Francisco toll case, which In volves the right of the Southern Pacific Company' to charge as a part of its rate to San Francisco a state toll of 5 cents per ton. The Southern Pacific reaches San Fran cisco by two lines, the Oregon route, the traffic by which is ferried from Oakland to San Francisco, and the Coast Line, which enters the city by an all-rail route. The waterfront of the city has its title in the State of California and the State Harbor Commissioners have fixed a schedule of tolls upon merchandise pass ing over these state premises. On all freight entering San Francisco by Oak land, the toll charge has to be paid to the state. The Southern Pacific Company, however, charges the same toll on freight which reaches San Francisco by the all rall route, on which the toll does not have to be paid to the state. The defendant contended that it was entitled to make the toll charge upon shipments which did not cross the bay, because it might properly impose on transcontinental business any rate, not unreasonable in itself, which it could get in competition with water-carriers, and therefore might Include in Its rate an amount equivalent to the state toll. In Its decision the Commission dissents and orders that the defendant, the South ern Pacific Company, shall strike from its tariffs applicable to Coast line busi ness that paragraph quoted in this opin ion entitled "Toll at San Francisco, Cal.." and shall cease and desist from making any charge for toll at San Francisco, Cal., when such toll charge Is not ac tually paid by the carrier. Cruel Experiment With Pups. NEW YORK, July 12. The City Hu mane Society has obtained summons for Dr. O. B. Lawson and Dr. C. R. Brown, of the Kings County Hospital, who re cently sewed two living puppies together. The doctors will have to appear in court today. They have also been suspended from duty by the city hospital authorities. The doctors asserted that they had sought to ascertain whether blood could be trans ferred from one body to another, and if skin could be correctly grafted in such a manner. The experiment was not suc cessful. Train AVreck In Mississippi. HATTIESBURG, Miss., July 12.
