PROHlOlTiON Li
Opponents Scarcely Make
: Fight on Bill in State
Senate.
ADMIT THEY ARE BEATEN
Country - Districts Want Absolute
Prohibition, Cities Plead for
Local Optlom Useless Pleas
Made tc legislature.
ATLANTA, Oa.. July 13. (Special.)
January 1, 1S08. Georgia enters upon a
period of atate prohibition, joining
Kansas, Maine and' Dakota, unless a
miracle happens between now and next
Saturday. This morning the Hardman
prohibition bill came up for passage
before the Senate and, almost without a
fight was started on its way to be
come a law by the decisive vote of 34
to 7. There was a faint int of a fili
bustering campaign oa Friday after
noon, but ' Saturday morning the fili
bustered were as tame as sheep.
The Georgian Is fighting for prohibi
tion, the Constitution and the Journal
are against it; the Governor Is for local
option, and the business element In all
the large cities Is more or less In favor
of local option, but the country dis
tricts are strong for prohibition, and
even In the cities the anti-whisky ele
ment is' holding the whip hand. Seab
"Wright. Dr. Nunnally, Dr. Broughton,
Mrs. Mary Harris Armour, Representa
tive Covington, Senator Hardman and
Dupont Guerry have swept the state
before them.
At the present time there are 125 dry
counties In Georgia, the wet ones being
confined largely to the cities. Delega
tions from the big cities have appeared
before the Senate and House commit
tee, protesting against prohibition and
stating that property would greatly de
preciate in value and the measure
would not prohibit.
The Constitution tomorrow morning
will acknowledge pronlbltlon la car
ried. The Covington bfll In the House
will be passed next week and the Gov
ernor will sign the measure.
MONOPOLY .IS CONDEMNED
(Continued from First Page.)
as other industries is the established pol
Jcy of the Nation. And while the acqui
sition of small minority stock of a com
peting line might not decrease the com
petition; yet the acquisition of. any con
siderable amount of stock with represen
tation on the board of directors of such
railway unquestionably has, the effect of
diminishing competition and lessening to
an extent Its effectiveness.
"The time has come when some reason
able regulation should be Imposed upon
the Issuance of securities by railroads
engaged in interstate commerce.
"In the opinion of the Commission reg
ulation will tend to make securities safer
and more secure for Investments, and
therefore benefit not only the railroads
but the public."
ALL POLITICS, SAYS UARKIMAN
Report Part or Personal Pursuit An
swers Some of Charges.
NEW YORK. July 13. Mr. Harrlman,
speaking by telephone from Arden to
night, said:
"Rrom what I am told, the report is a
political document and part of a personal
pursuit of me. The tone of the report and
the method of Its promulgation show
that. Imagine a court or any judicial
body sending copies of its decisions
around secretly to newspaper publishers
in advance under pledge to publish It
simultaneously Sunday morning. That is
what the Commission did. Their opinion
was put In type several days ago and
sent to newspapers throughout the coun
try with the following printed in bold tpye
at the head:
" 'Confidential. To all newspapers: This
report is released for publication on Sun
day morning, July 14, 1907, and not be
fore. "It Is deemed good politics to attack
me. But I can stand my part better
.than the people of the country can stand
that sort of preference on the part of
the Government tribunals charged with
the duty of impartially administering the
laws.
', "I shall study it carefully and have
something to say about it later. But from
what I am told. It Is full of strange mis
statements of fact. For example, in refer
ence to the Chicago & Alton it says I
caused about 312,000,000 to be credited to
construction expenditures in order to find
an excuse for borrowing money to pay divi
dends. As a matter of fact, that was a
written recommendation, made by Presi
dent Felton when I was In Alaska, and it
was adopted by the board of directors at
a meeting at which I was not present.
"Again, It Is said that a certain method
of accounting that was carried out would
have the effect of covering up the pay
ment of the special dividend, thereby in
timating some wrongful concealment.
This is a most extraordinary statement
for the writer of the report to make,
when It Is considered that the stockhold
ers necessarily knew of the dividend
when every one received his share and
when It was published In every financial
journal at the time and was reported to
the Stock Exchange. The suggestion,
therefore, of any reason for concealment
Is most unfair.
"1 am informed by those who have ex
amined It more carefully that the article
Is full of errors as glaring and Inexcus
able as these, but I shall read it carefully
and make a full statement about It, pari
ticularly my connection with the Chicago
& Alton readjustment, in a few days."
- Storms DnmJga Hua.lam crops.
.BERLIN. July 13. A dispatch to a
news agency from Odessa says that,
following a spell of tropical heat, vio
lent storms have been experienced
throughout the southern provinces of
Russia. It Is estimated that the South
Russian crops of wheat, rye and barley
this year will be below that generally
described as a low to middling: yield.
REPORT
E. H. Harrlman exercises powers "well nigh absolute over the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific sys
tems. Mr. Harrlman could travel from New York across America to China and back to Omaha on railroads
and steamers he controls.
He controls the Illinois Central and the only line along the Pacific from the Columbia river to Mex
ico, and has acquired through his companies large interests in the Baltimore & Ohio and New York Cen
tral. He admits that only the law prevents his obtaining control of every road between Canada and
Mexico.
With the proceeds of $100,000,000 Union Pacific bonds he bought control of the Southern Pacific and a.
majority of Northern Pacific stock, carrying control of the Burlington but control of the Northern Paclflo
and Burlington was prevented by a Supreme Court decision.
' OGDEN GATEWAY CLOSED.
Through .the Southern Pacific he acquired control of the Central Pacific, and toy unifying the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific management eliminated competition between .them and closed the Ogden gate
way to all competitors of the Union Pacific. The two roads have the same general officers and agents.
Before the Union Pacific got control the Southern Pacific was a. competitor for traffic between the
Atlantic and Pacific seaboards and between the Atlantic and the Orient. Now there Is no actual competi
tion. NO COMPETITION BY COAST STEAMERS.
Formerly the Union Pacific competed at Portland for Pacific steamship business and the O. R. & N.
eteamers from Portland to San Francisco competed with the rail line.
The purohase of the Pacific Mail has killed competition over the Panama route.
The consolidation of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific steamer lines has killed competition, for an
independent line without railroad consent has been proved impossible. .
Competition of the Santa Fe steamers for Oriental traffic has been killed by a division of the rail haul
between the two systems.
Our trade relations with the Philippines, Hawaii and the Orient depend on steamship business.
The Union, Central and Southern Pacific roads were built by National aid to secure a. through route
from the Missouri to the Pacific. They traverse a territory where the Government is spending large sums
for development. The (public is entitled to have the Central Pacific open as a. competing highway. The
union of the three lines would have been forbidden had the Government contemplated single control as
possible.
BONDS ISSUED TO BUY OTHER RAILROADS.
The Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line have assumed obligations of 3181,000,000 for the purchase
of stock in other roads.
The Harrlman interest In the Santa Fe has fceen followed, by joint ownership of stock in the Northwest
ern Pacific Company, to which both systems sold their lines In Northern California,
The Illinois Central and Alton, both of which Mr. Harrlman controls, are competing Jlnes.
' WRECKING OF THE ALTON.
The debt of the Alton under the Harrlman rule has been Increased abou,t $90,660,00(1 while only
118,000,000 has been added to the value of the property.
The Harrlman syndicate sold itself as stockholders 340,000,000 of Alton toonda at 65 and then paid its
members 30 per cent dividend out of the proceeds. Then Mr. (Harrlman "fixed" the books to hide the trans
action. The road has been left without money to buy equipment or build a road for which bonds had been
sold. - '
Kuhn. Loefb & Co. were richly rewarded in commissions.
" Control of the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake by the Union Pacific has eliminated It as a com
petitor. The Union Pacific and its directors own 17 per cent of the Santa Fe stock, and the two roads divide
not only Oriental traffic, but California fruit traffic.
"If the policy of purchasing and controlling stocks In competing ' lines is permitted to continue," saya
the Commission, "it must mean suppression of competition."
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The function of a railroad corporation should be confined to the furnishing of transportation. Rail
roads should not be permitted to invest in securities of other railroad and steamship companies, except con
necting lines.
The surplus funds and credit of a railroad company should be used for betterments and extensions
in contiguous territory. About 150,000 square miles of Oregon surrounded by the Harrlman lines are not de
veloped, while funds .which could be used for that purpose are invested in distant roads.
Investment of railroad funds in other stocks endangers the solvency of the roads.
It Is contrary to public policy as well as unlawful for railroads to acquire control of parallel and com
peting lines. It Is prohibited by Federal law and by the constitutions and laws of about 40 states. Com
petition is the policy of the Nation.
Ownership by one railroad of stock In a competing railroad should not be permitted and they should be
prohibited from having common directors or officers.
Issuance of securities by railroads should be regulated. They should be prevented from inflating se
curities for speculative purposes. i

HARD BLOWS FOR DEFENSE
Rebuttal Evidence Disposes of Much
of Its Theory.
BOISH, Idaho, July 13. Sensation fol
lowed sensation quickly In the Haywood
trial. today, when the state commenced Its
rebuttal evidence. One witness confessed
to participation In a labor riot resulting
in the death of two men, the record of
conviction of murder In the second de
gree of a witness for the defense was
introduced and the proof of another's
having been sent to the insane asylum
upon the information of his neighbors
was offered, its admissibility was argued
and the decision of the court will be
handed down on Monday morning.
Finally, shortly after court adjourned
for the day. Information was sworn to
and a warrant for perjury Issued in a
magistrate's court against Xr. I. L. Mc
Gee, a physician of Wallace, Idaho, who
was - one of the -witnesses for the defense
in the discrediting of Orchard. The war
rant was- placed in the hands of Sheriff
Shad Hodgin, of. Ada ' County, who at
once: telegraphed to the authorities at
Megee's home to make the arrest.
Confesses Part In Riot.
"William Dewey, a witness in rebuttal
for the state, confessed to active armed
participation in the destruction of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan concentrator at
Wardner. Orchard swore that William
F. Davis, known among his fellows as
"Big Bill" Davis, led the mob. Davis
himself swore to having been elsewhere
and positively denied any connection with
the crime. Dewey swore today that not
only did "Big Bill" accompany the mob
to Wardner, but that he served out guns,
rifles and ammunition to the union men
gathered in the union hall at Burke be
fore they went to Wardner.
With downcast eyes and fingers nerv
ously picking at the braiding around the
rim of a gray sombrero, Dewey told it
all. Repeatedly he was requested to raise
his voice, and with a quick glance at
counsel he complied, only to sink back
Into an almost inaudible tone. Under the
provocation of sneering cross-examination
by B. F. Richardson, he rallied, and
even became combative, but throughout
the recital he gave evidence of a certain
remorse.
McGee Wealthy Idahoan.
Dr. I. L. McGee, against whom a war
rant for perjury was Issued this after
noon, is a wealthy resident of Wallace.
In his testimony for the defense he swore
that Orchard was in Wallace in August
and July, 1904. It was at this time that
the state alleges, and Orchard hlmBelf
says, he was in Denver planning the
Bradley murder. One of the witnesses
today swore that Orchard was at his
hotel in Denver In July or August, 1904.
McGee was also one of the witnesses who
swore that Orchard was at Mullan on the
day of the explosion at the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan concentrator.
Ten witnesses in rebuttal were exam
ined today. Most of them were called to
disprove statements as to Onphard's
movements in North Idaho and as to the
disposal of his Interests in the Hercules
mine. One of the most interesting of the
witnesses was August Paulson, who was
at one tune a partner of Orchard In the
Hercules mine. Orchard swore that he
planned to kidnap Paulson's children and
extort a ransom of 330,000. Paulson was
called at this time to show that Orchard
disposed of his Interest In the mine some
time before he left the state. Paulson
will be recalled later.
fcsunsel for the state expect to finish
the rebuttal by Tuesday evening or
Wednesday at the latest.
The announcement of Mr. Darrow
at the opening of court that the de
fense rested took the state by sur

prise, as he had announced the calling
of a powder expert to testify as to
the Bradley explosion, but the state's
witnesses In rebuttal were on hand
and there was no delay.
John C. Rice was recalled and tes
tified that In November, 1905, Orchard
wore no mustache, thus contradicting
a witness who described. Orchard as
a man with a large mustache at that
time. Gainey, of Walla Walla, who
lost both feet in the Independence
explosion, testified that he lived in
the Coeur d'Alenes In 1898 and 1899 and
lived with Orchard part of the time.
He said that Dominick Flynn, who had
testified that he was playing poker
with Orchard at Mullan the day of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan explosion at
Wardner, had told him he (Flynn) had
not seen Orchard since February, 1899.
Under cross-examination by Mr. Rich
ardson, he said he had no present busi
ness, having gone out of business after
being blown up. He denied that his
willingness to testify was due to his
being blown up. He had written to
Orchard several times since the latter's
arrest.
O'Neill an ex-Convict.
L. E. Grimshaw, of Deadwood, S. D.,
was offered to identify a prison record
showing that In 1880 John M. O'Nein,
editor of the Miners' Magazine, was In
the Dakota penitentiary under sen
tence for manslaughter. The defense
objected and later there was an argu
ment on the admissibility of the evi
dence, but Judge Wood ' admitted it.
Mr. Hawley then read the papers show
ing that O'Neill was charged with the
killing of Daniel Falvey and upon be
ing convicted of manslaughter In the
second degree was sentenced to one
year and six months in the peniten
tiary. Several railroad officials testified to
disprove the statement of John D.
Klllott that he heard Orchard make
threats against Steunenberg on a train
fietween Welser and Boise on November
28 or 29, 1905. Their train records
showed the trains did not make the
connections Mr. Elliott had described.
J. K. Stephenson, clerk of the Cullen
Hotel at Salt Lake, testified that
Orchard was at that hotel for three
weeks, beginning November 25, 1905.
but his records only showed Orchard's
name entered on November 25, It be
ing Orchard's custom to pay nightly In
advance.
To contradict Dr. McGee, who tes
tified to seeing Orchard In the Coeur
d'Alenes for several weeks in July or
August, 1904, J. H. Moser, keeper of
a Denver lodging-house, testified that
Orchard stayed with him under the
name of Dempsey for two weeks at
that period. He kept no records and
could not recall the names of any other
transients of that time. He had been
summoned by a Plnkerton man.
Personal Malice Disproved.
August Paulson gave important evi
dence to contradict the theory that
Orchard killed Steunenberg from per
sonal malice for loss, of his interest In
the Hercules mine by being driven out
of the Coeur. d'Alenes after the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan explosion on- April 29,
1899. Mr. Paulsen, who has grown
rich through the Hercules, testified that
after early Spring of 1898 Orchard had
nothing to do with the property, Dan
iel Cardoner having succeeded to his
Interest and grown wealthy by it. He
was corroborated by showing that
Orchard transferred his Interest to Mr.
Cardoner on March 7, 1898.
The state offered evidence of John
D. Elliott's admission to the Insane
asylum, but the defense objected, say
ing the witness had admitted the fact.
Judge Wood will rule on the question
Mpnday. I.
To contradict the statement of "Big
Bill" Davis for the defense that he was
in Gem... Idaho, the day of the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mill explosion, the
state put on E. L. Hale, master me
chanic of the Idaho Mine Smelting
Company. Mr. Hale said he was In
Gem the day of the explosion and that
he saw only two other men In town
that day. There was only one saloon
open, and he was in it On cross-examination
Hale said he was down town
only about tea minutes. Davis also
stated, when on the stand for the de
fense, that he did not go to Wardner
the day of the Bunker Hill explosion
and knew nothing about it. ,
Davis Handed Out Gans.
William Dewey, a miner in the Vindica
tor mine at Cripple Creek, testified that
he was in Gem, Idaho, the day the men
started for Wardner. At that time he
was a member of the Western Federation
of Miners. He attended the meeting the
morning of the explosion and saw "Big
Bill" Davis there.
"What was he doing that attracted
your attention?" asked Mr. Hawley.
"He was handing out guns and ammu
nition from the stage of the union hall."
"Did you get a gun?"
"Yes, sir; BUI Davis gave me one."
"Did Davis go with you and the others
to Wardner?"
"Yes, sir, he did."
"Did he go to the Bunker Hill & Sulli
van mill?"
"Yes, sir."
"You saw him there?"
"Yes, sir."
"Did you see him at Wardner after the
explosion?"
"Yes, sir."
The witness said Davis was in the rush
on the mill when two men were killed.
On cross-examination, Mr. Dewey said
the meeting at Gem was not confined to
the members of the union, but was open
to the general public The witness could
remember the names of only two men
besides himself and "Bill" Davis who
were at the meeting or on the train. One
fellow was named Shakespeare.
"Was Bacon anywhere around?" asked
Mr. Richardson.
"I didn't know him,"' replied the wit
ness. "Is Shakespeare dead?"
"I don't know."
Mr. Richardson asked If there was an
other big fellow In Gem known as "Big
Bill" Davis and who afterwards took
the name of Goldensmlth and was elected
to the Legislature.
"I knew Goldensmlth, but I never heard
him called Davis. He was about six
feet tall and very -slender."
Mr. Dewey said he remained in the
Coeur d Alenes several months after the
Bunker Hill explosion. He was never
arrested or put in the bull pen. When
the strike was declared In Cripple Creek
he deserted the union.
No Promise of Immunity.
Mr. Dewey was closely questioned by
Mr. Richardson as to how he came to
appear as a witness. He said the fore
man of the mine told him to go to the
Plnkerton office in Denver. He did so
and was given 350. Mr. Dewey said he
was at one time Town Marshal of Cripple
Creek. Mr. Richardson returned to the
trip of the mob to Wardner and asked
Mr. Dewey to give more names. He said
he remembered a man named Paddy
Burke, who, he said, carried a Springfield
rifle with a bayonet oh It. Urged still
further to give the names of people in
the car with him on the return trip,
Mr. Dewey hesitated a long time and
finally said he could not remember any
of them.
"Well, who do you think were there?"
demanded Mr. Richardson.
"Well," replied Mr. Dewey, "you get
me the payroll of the Frisco mine and
read it over and I'll tell you that I think
every one of them was there."
"Have you been promised any Immuni
ty ior telling what you know about this
matter?",
"No, sir."'
"Did you see Orchard on the train
that day?"
"I don't know Orchard."
"What made you decide to tell what
you knew?"
"I saw Orchard's confession."
"And after seeing the way he was
treated you thought it would be a good
thing ior you to come and do likewise?'
"No, I never thought of that."

WIH OH ALL-POINTS
American Propositions Accept
able at The Hague.
DRAG0 DOCTRINE STANDS
All Powers Will Support It, Also
Permanent Arbitration Court.
America Will Propose
Peace Conference.
THE HAGUE. July 13. Notwith
standing the pessimistio views held in
some Quarters concerning tne peace
conference and its work, the members
of the American delegation feel confi
dent that some good result will be
reached in the exchanges of opinion
among the plenipotentiaries of the
countries represented.
It now appears that all of tne
American representatives' propositions
will be satisfactorily received. Tne
question of the immunity of private
property at sea, although bitterly op
posed, will have a considerable major
ity In the vote next week, and this
will be a further step towara tne
adoption of this principle in another
conference. The rules regarding the
bombardment of unfortified towns, vil
lages, etc., originally presented by
America, will be substantially adopted
with the approval of the proposal
drawn up by the Italian delegation
bringing Into harmony the amerent
views on this subject.
Drago Doctrine Accepted.
The suggestion regarding the collec
tion of pecuniary contractual debts
without the use of force will be sup
ported by all of the great powers, and
the proposal concerning the establish
ment of a permanent court of arbitra
tion and the prohibition of the use of
unnecessarily cruel bullets have Deen
favorably received.
Finally, in a plenary sitting, tne
United States will present a plea for
the permanency of the conference in
Itself as an Institution, the holding oi
periodic meetings, and the arranging
of a Drogramme.
The American proposition relating
to ships of war reads:
Rules Against Converted Ships.
A warship must be commanded by a
commissioned officer with a crew subject
to military law and discipline. In time
of war no merchantman can be trans
formed Into a warship except it be com
manded and equipped as before; and this
transformation can only occur in the
territorial waters of the state of which
the owner of the vessel is a subject or In
territorial waters under the effective
control of the military forces of such
a state.
Another American proposition states
first, that arms of war, ammunition.
provisions and objects only empioyea
for military purposes or military im
plements, form absolute contraband of
war; that conditional contraband con
sists of -provisions, materials and ob
jects employed both In peace and war
and which, because of their character,
special quality or quantity, are nec
essary for military purposes and are
destined to the armed forces or to the
military establishments of the enemy;
third, that a list of the objecs to be in
cluded in either of said categories
must be published by the belligerents
and notification of such must be made
to neutrals or their diplomatic repre
sentatives. The capture or confiscation
of contraband, the proposition states,
cannot occur until such notification has
been made.
TRY PORT ARTHUR "HEROES"
Stoessel and Others Accused of Send
ing Fake War News.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 13. A docu
ment containing the indictments against
Lieutenant-General Stoessel, the defender
of Port Arthur; Lieutenant-General Fock,
who commanded the fourth east Siberian
division at Port Arthur; Major-General
Reiss, chief of staff to General Stoessel,
and Lieutenant-General Smyrnoff, who
preceded Lieutenant-General Stoessel In
command at Port Arthur was made public
here today. These officers are being
tried by court-martial on charges of
cowardice and treason.
The indictments set forth that etqessel
and Fock deliberately sent false reports
of battles that never occurred, recom
mended their own fitness as generals who
had lost battles for decorations and sur
rendered the Port Arthur fortress in spite
of the fact that they had at hand ample
munitions for resistance.
All the crimes with which Stoessel,
Reiss and Fock are charged are capital
offenses.
