TELLS ABOUT EXPLOSION
Halfwitted Man Describes Blowing
lp of Train.
BUTTB. Mont., May 8. In a detailed
confession Lewis Ferris, the young Italian
who dynamited the Burlington train near
this city Friday night, in which, two men
lost their lives, tells of breaking the
lock on the powder-house of the West
Olive Branch mine with a rock, stealing
45 sticks of dynamite and placing the
entire amount on the track. He watched
the explosion and helped the conductor
to summon aid. Hla story concerning the
theft of the' powder has toeen corrobor
ated. "
Ferris declares that he alone Is to
blame for the dynamiting and claims that
he was drunk at the time. His actions
and general demeanor impress one as
bring those of a half-witted person.
From evidence In the possession of the
officers it Is believed that Ferris at
tempted the hold-up of the North Coast
Limited of the Northern Pacific about
ten days ago at Welches Spur east of
Butte.

dered to the officers of the United States
fleet, Pommery Champagne was served.
Pommery was also selected by the Shrln
ers for their grand banquet at the Golden
Gate Commandery Hall, San Francisco,
to the exclusion of all other brands, again
demonstrating that t-ommery is the
standard for champagne quality.

President Says Harvester Trust Did
Not Raise Prices..
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 8. Cy
rus H. McCormlck, president of the In
ternational Harvester Company of
America and New Jersey, completed his
testimony today in- the hearing of the
ouster suit. Mr. McCormlck told fur
ther of the organization of the Interna
tional Harvester Company,, of New Jer
sey. He said that of the $120,000,000
capital stock, $30,000,000 was contributed
by J. P. Morgan & Co., of New Tork, and
the other $100,000,000 by five harvester
companies whose property was sold to
the company and was appraised at
$56,000,000.
He said the company had expended
$15,000,000 since 1902 In betterments and
that dividends amounting to $22,200,000
had been paid In the past five years by
the New Jersey Company.
Mr. McCormlck said that prices re
mained the same after, the merger in
1902 until this year, when again an in
crease of 6 per cent had been made in
the selling price for 1908.

Will Make-Lobbyists Register.
GUTHRIE, Okla., May 8. Both branches
of the Oklahoma Legislature today agreed
to the antl-lobbying bill, which provides
that criminal action may be had on any
lobbyist who does not first file his name
and a statement of his business with the
Legislature. The bill is similar to a meas
ure proposed by Governor Folk, of Mis
souri. Governor Haskell has said he will
sign the bill.

FILE ANSWER FOR THAwf
Lawyers Allege That Client's Com
mitment Was Insufficient.
POUGHKEEPSIE. N. T., May 8.
Counsel for Harry K. Thaw today filed
a traverse to the return on Thaw's
writ of habeas corpus. The chief
question raised by the traverse is the
constitutionality of Thaw'i commit
ment to the Matteawan State Hospital.
It Is alleged that the return made by
Dr. Amos T. Baker is Invalid, null and
void. It Is claimed that the commit
ment Is insufficient for Thaw's fur
ther detention because it does not
show that Thaw was -ever arraigned
before Justice Dowllng, who made the
commitment, or that any witnesses
were produced or examined In his pres
ence; or that Thaw had any opportun
ity to deny the charge of insanity; or
that his going at large would be dan
gerous to public safety.
Should Justice Morschauer decide
that Thaw was not constitutionally
committed to Matteawan he probably
would order Thaw discharged without
any Inquiry as to his sanity.
