QHCHABD CALMLY
PLEADS "GUILTY"
Self-Confessed Assassin of
Governor Steunenberg Is
Ready for Punishment.
HIS ACTION IS SURPRISING
rublic' Had Exported the Prisoner
Would Take Advantage of Delays.
Judge Wood Set March 1 8 as
Date to Pass Sentence.
BOISE, Idaho, March 10. The last
chapter of the famous Frank Steunen
fcerg murder rase was begun this morn,
irg. when, in the District Court for
Canyon County, at Caldwell, Harry Or
chard, whosp startling confession marie
puhllc in February. 1907, caused the
arrest of Charles H. Moyer and "William
J. Haywood, president and secretary of
the Western Federation of Miners, and
George A. Pettibone.' honorary member
of the organization, and the subse
qnent trials, faced Judge Fremont
Wood and pleaded guilty to the charge
of murder in the firet degree. Pending
and during the trials of Haywood and
Pettibone. the trial of Harry Orchard
had been postponed from term to term
in the Canyon County Court. After
Pettibone had been acquitted, the opin
ion was expressed in many quarters
that Orchard would take advantage of
every iecal right be might have to
obtain his own release or a light sen
tence. Orchard's Plea a SurprliiC.
The stand he took this morning was
a surprise to most persons, and, hits
attorney says, was entirely voluntary
on Ms part, and against the advice of
many who had seen and talked with
him.
There were few persons in the court
room this morning. Orchard was taken
to Caldwell on the interurban line from
the penitentiary in Boise, in charge of
Warden Whitney and a guard. On the
fam car wa his attorney, Frank T.
Wyman, of this city.
The case was called at 10 o'clock,
nd Mr. Wyman at once notified the
court that Orchard desired to withdraw
the plea of not guilty which had been
entered in his case upon bis first ar
raignment by ordc-r of the court, and
enter a plea of guilty instead to the
charges In the Indictment.
Prisoner Not the licat Nervous.
Judge Wood questioned Orchard as
to whether he fully understood the
status of the case what it meant for
him to plead guilty, and if he under
stood that to plead guilty to the charge
in tiie indictment meant pleading
guilty to first-degree murder.
Perfectly calm, with no indication of
nny emotion in his face or voice. Or
chard anHwered that he had gone over
the matter thoroughly with his attor
ney, and had made his mind up defin
itely. Jmlae Wood allowed the plea
to be changed and set date for sentence
for Wednesday, March 18, at 10A. M.

End of District Attorneyship
Fight in Sight-
BRISTOL OUT IN A WEEK
Senate Will Rush Action on Con
firmation and Bristol Will Auto
matically Retire Not X ced
ed in Land Cases.
OREGONIAN 'NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. March 10. The nomination of
John McCourt today to be District Attor
ney for Oregon, wilt be followed next
Monday by a favorable report from the
committee on judiMary of the Senate and
confirmation will be had not later than
Tuesday, possibly the day the committee
reports. The nomination of Chris Schuebel
was withdrawn when the nomination of
Mr. McCourt was sent In.
The President is thoroughly tired of this
District Attorneyship scrap and was as
much relieved as the delegation when no
objection turned up to Mr. McCourt.
As soon as he is confirmed. Mr. McCourt
will be Instructed to relieve W. C. Bris
tol and the latter will retire, his recess
appointment automatically expiring upon
the confirmation and qualification of his
successor.
The Department does not intend to re
tain Mr. Bristol as special counsel In the
land-fraud cases, as Tracy Becker and
F. J. Heney are amply able to perform
any special service along that line that
may be deemed necessary. Mr. Bristol
may, therefore, expect to vacate next
week.
CAX - BRISTOL BE OUSTED?
Thought His Appointment May Hold
Till Congress Adjourns.
United States Attorney Bristol yesterday
declined to discuss the appointment of
Mr. McCourt and his probable confirma
tion by the Senate. The District Attorney
did not so much as intimate that he would
with pleasure surrender the office to his
successor, although Mr. Bristol's abdica
tion of the office at this time would re
lieve him of a vast amount of work that
awaits the consideration of the grand
jury, which will convene next Monday. He
refused to say anything and referred the
interviewer to his "invariable' rule not
to talk.
An interesting legal question will be
presented should McCourt's nomination
promptly be confirmed by the Senate
judiciary committee next Monday and the
action of the committee ratified by the
Senate. The point involved is whether
the appointment of McCourt, made at a
regular session of Congress, takes pre
cedence over the appointment of Bristol,
which was made during a recess of Con
gress, to hold until the close of the fol
lowing session. As to appointments by
the President, the United States Consti
tution provides that vacancies shall be
filled by the President by appointment
which "shall expire at the end of the
following session of Congress."
Mr. Bristol holds what Is known as a
"recess" appointment, in fact, during
his tenure of the office since December,
1905, he has held three such commissions.
Mr. Bristol was first appointed by Pres
ident Roosevelt to the office of United
States Attorney on December 1, 1906, just
a few days before Congress convened.
His . second commission was issued on
June 30, 1906. under the same conditions,
while his third commission, bearing date
March 11, 1907. one year ago today, was
also Issued during a recess of Congress,
The commission expressly provides that
the appointee shall hold office until the.
end of the following (present) session of
Congress which, probably, will not ad
journ before next June.
Lawyers are not agreed on the in
terpretation of the Federal Constitu
tion and the . customary practices in
such cases. Some contend that a ''re
cess" appointment holds until the close
of the succeeding session of Congress.
Others maintain that the nomination
and confirmation of an officer at a reg
ular session by ' Implication supersedes
any prior appointment and commission
that may be In force. This view is
differed from by still other lawyers,
who declare that the regular nomina
tion and confirmation of a new Dis
trict Attorney under these conditions
can become operative before Congress
adjourns only when the "recess" ap
pointment of the incumbent of the of
fice has been revoked or recalled.
The attention of Mr. Bristol last
night was called to this provision of
the Federal Constitution, which might
permit him to retain the office until
the present session of Congress ad
journs, even though Mr. MoCourt's ap
pointment be confirmed by the Senate
next Monday. But Mr. Bristol declined
to discuss the matter or, to indicate
that he would raise the point which
does not appear to have been decided
by the Federal authorities.
The appointment of Mr. McCourt and
the probability of his confirmation at
this time are considered significant
as "showing a determined effort on the
part of some one higher up to prevent
Bristol from proceeding with the busi
ness of the Federal Court and such in
vestigations as he may have planned.
Last Summer, when he had .indicted
the furniture trust and was about to
take up further investigations, news
came from Washington that there were
no further funds with which to defray
the expenses of the grand jury, and it
had to be discharged. Efforts on the
part of Bristol to get .another grand
jury together since proved futile until
about two weeks ago. when he secured
permission from the United States Attorney-General
to convene such a body
for the purpose of-relieving the badly
congested condition of the court, be
fore which a score of criminal cases
are pending. Seventeen men arc In jail
awaiting trial and many of them have
ben held prisoners for several months.
Receiving this permission, Mr. Bris
tol at once drew a list of 60 names,
from which he has arranged next Mon
day to select a grand jury of 23 men.
In the meantime, together with his as
sistants. Mr. Tucker and Mr. Evans,
he has been working diligently prepar
ing the evidence and subpenaing wit
nesses in the several cases to be pre
sented to the jury for Investigation.
Now, if Mr. McCourt's appointment is
confirmed by the Senate and he is inr
ducted into office immediately, the
work of the court will be badly con
fused and seriously complicated. A
grand jury will be In session. Mr. Bris
tol will be replaced and Mr. McCourt.
his successor, will succeed to the reins
with no knowledge of the cases await
ing trial or the evidence on which the
eases are to be tried.
Mr. Bristol's friends are inclined to
resent the apparent effort to displace
him on the very eve of the convening
of a grand jury which he has called to
dispose of cases that should have been
tried several months ago. But Mr. Bris
tol is seemingly indifferent, having
worked faithfully to bring the cases to
trial, and is keeping his own counsel.

EDWARD SMOOTHS KAISER
Sends Friendly Ijetter Condemning
Action of London Times.
BERL.IN, March 10. A local news
agency declares today that it has learned
from an unimpeachable authority that
King Edward has sent a letter to Empe
ror William, couched in cordial and
friendly terms, concerning the revelations
by the London Times of the existence of
private' correspondence between the Em
peror and Lord Tweedmouth, First Lord
of the British Admiralty. According to
this agency dispatch. King Edward, in
his letter, takes the view that the British
Parliament and the public as well as an
Immense majority of the press of Eng
land, sharply disapproves of the action
of the Times. Continuing, the dispatch
says that, the attempt of the Times to
exploit a private and non-political ex
change of correspondence in an unnatural
way and in a manner antagonistic to
Germany caused the British King to
write as he has to Emperor William.
The Kings action, it is added, will create
the best impression both in Germany and
in England.

just as much confidence In Doan's Kid
ney Pills today as when I .publicly
recommended them in 1903, after they
had relieved im: of kidney trouble. A
severe spell of sickness which I had
when young, left my kidneys in a dis
ordered condition and as time passed,
1 suffered from frequent attacks of
backache. The pain was sometimes al
most unbearable nnd 1 was unable to
assume any position that was com
fortable. Headaches and dizzy spells
were of frequent occurrence and it was
often quite an effort or me to get
about. The various remedies I used
proved of little avail and when Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my at
tention, I procured a box at the Laue-
I Davis Drug Co. The results of their
use were gratifying and I do not
hesitate to recommend them to others
affected in similar manner."
