IMMUNE EROM MILITIA
BCarrictl On His Lawless Woik Unmo
lested During Colorado Labor .
ft Win- Dcfrnsi! Disn-eillfs.
Boise, Juno 7. The counsel for
(Haywood continued their, attack on
tho testimony of Harry Orchard at
llOth sessions of the trial today, and
centered the strongest assault on the
I
events beginning with the explosion
fof the Vindicator mine and ending
hvith the earlier meetings between
,iiu nnutoa uuu icuuui uj. Lite r cu-
'ration at Denver, to the extent that
V
Etrafflc with the "other side" In the
ijwar ot lauor ana capital in uoiorauo
Iwas discreditable and succeeded In
sdifcredltlng the witness. Taking up
;,thp admission of Orchard made In
I' his direct examination, that he had
ijlieen treacherous to his comrades at
FCrlpple Creek, by tipping off a train
wrecking plot they aeveloped the
fact that Orchard entered the em
ploy of D. C. Scott, who had charge
I of the railway detectives. Orchard
jcald that with Scott he had met
PC C. Sterling, a detective In the em-
fploy of the Mine Owners Association,
band that Scott, accompanied him to
Denver on tho trip when he first
fjmet Moyer and Haywood. He said
She had agreed to repoit to Scott, but
jthat he was lying to him, never
Slntending to make any repoits to
Shim and never making any genuine
greports to him. Tho defense also
strled to show that because he stood
in with the other side that Orchard
Bwas never molested by tho militia in
Cripplo Creek during the strike. Or-
tchard admitted that Scott had told
hlm If the militia Interfeied with
Lhlm he was to send for him, that
ftho militia never did lntcrfeie with
him or search his house. Orchard
Lsald he went to Scott because he was
Knot paid for tho work at the Vindi
cator mine, and that ho was jealous
because he was glvon hard work
like tho Vindicator job, while other
men got tho simple task of train
wrecking by displacing a rail.
More crimes, great and small, were
added to Orchard's record today.
rhe Cripple Creek woman with
vhom he committed bigamy had
three sons; Orchard stole some high
grade ore from a messmate; he stole
two cases of powder from the Vindi
cator mine. He stole powder to
lake one of the bombs thrown into
the. Vindicator coal pile and he told
He. The defense endeavored In
various ways to throw a shadow of
loubt and improbability around tho
yhole Vindicator story and the al
leged connection. Davis and Will
iam Easterly, who are acquainted
with the affair and circumstances
under which Orchard testified ho met
flayer and Haywood and was paid
(or the commission of the crime, dis
credit Orchard's story that he wa3
pent back to Cripple Creek with un
limited credit and orders to commit
ny act of violence he cared to.
They confronted Orchard with
Easterly and Darnes, and paved the
way for a contradiction by them of
the story told by Orchard and sev
eral times paved tho way for con-
trovertlon of his testimony on ma
terial points. Orchard Btood tho
Strain and test very well and hold
tenaciously to his story told during
Ilrect examination. Suddenly to
ward the close of tho day tho de-
Cense took up the trip of Orchard to
(southern Colorado with Moyer In the
parly part of 1904 and showed Moyer
reared to go south unguarded be-
iuse the "mine owners' official
lugs" had beaten up innocent union
nen and had sent for Orchard to aid
protecting him. It was agreed
lat they carry cut-off shot guns and
it In the center of the railway car,
If attacked they could defend
nemselves. Attorney Richardson in
leatlanlng tho witness made It very
pear that this had been n perfectly
tralght proposition, "free from any

Slum- That Mayor and Attorney
Dhided Spoils.
San Francisco. June 7. Proprie
tois before the fire of Ave French
restaurants alleged to have been vic
timized by Mayor Schmltz and Abra
ham Ruef testified for the prosecu
tion today in the trial of the Mayor
for extoition. Two things stood out
more prominently when they had
finished. First, without exception
they claimed to have paid into the
$10,000 protection fund because they
were satisfied that unless they em
ployed Ruef they would lose their
license to do business; second, with
out exception they denied any threat
made that they would lose their li
censes, unless they employed Ruef
and paid him, or that Ruef asked to
be employed, or that he or any one in
his behalf stated the $10,000 or any
sum of money whatsoever.
Tho prosecution contends that it is
Duilding up a certain conviction by
establishing by circumstantial evi
dence or seeking to establish the fact
that certain of the French restau
lant proprietors themselves acted as
agents of Ruef in suggesting that he
be employed to protect licenses and
in tho developments which followed;
and Heney has promised to prove,
piesumably by Ruef himself, who
has turned state's evidence, that tho
money paid to Ruef wa3 by him
divided wlththo Mayor, after which
the licenses were granted. The de
fense takes the position that thus
far the prosecution has utterly failed
to support the accusation against the
Mayor Inasmuch as ho is charged
with having "extorted through
threatening and fear."

Woman On Her Her Way to Roisc
Will Testify For the

Cripple Creek, Colo., Juno 7.
Mrs. Ida Toney, the woman whom
Orchard married here, Is on tho way
to Boise as a witness for the defense.
According to an intimate friend, Mrs.
Toney will swear that at the time
she married Orchard ho clafmed to
be a PInkerton detective. She will
also testify that Orchard's home was
never searched by the militia, al
though he was considered to be a
strike leader. All the surrounding
houses were searched.

Figures Just Compiled In
Event Of Kind Ever

First
REQUIRED MANY YEARS
Some of the Older States Are Re
hind Oil Us,ed on the
Pacific Coast.
Washington, Juno 7. The first
complete census of the puollc roads
of tho United States ever taken Is
ended. It requhed two und a half
years and the writing of 100,000
letters to accomplish this big task.
The figures contain matters of In
tel est to Washington people, while at
the same time furnish material for
use by the advocates of road better
ment. Washington has 31,998 miles
of public roads, of which 1,92 8 weie
surfaced with giavel and 48 with
stone, or G per cent of the roads of
the State improved. There is 48
lOOths of a mile of road for each
square mile of area, a mile of road
for every 1C inhabitants and a mile
of Improved road for every 203 of
population.
The amount derived annually from
taxation for roads was $1,43G, 070.19,
of which poll tax money was $91,228
and property tax $1,344,842.19,
This gave $44.88 for every mile of
road and $2.77 per inhabitant.
Kentucky leads all States In the
number of stone roads, 8,078.
The people of the United States
spend every year about $80,000,000
on building and maintaining public
roads, about $1 apiece, for men,
women and children.
In the United States are 2,112,590
miles of public roads, or about one
mile to every 45 Inhabitants, count
ing the population at 90,000,000,
which figures are now being used
by the government departments in
their estimates.
There are 153,000 miles of im
proved roads, which Is tho same as
to say that one mile In every 14 In
this country are Improved. Of these
108,000 miles are surfaced with gra
vel, 38,000 miles aro built of stone,
and 7,000 miles aro of other ma
terials, shells being used In several
States.

C. B. R. and t Admits Charges
Made By Davis-Schultz Company-No
profit On Freight
IS A LOGGING ROAD
Claims That Additional Cost In Lo
cal Transportation Comes By
Tmnsf erring Kiom Boats.
Salem, Ore.. June 7. Contending
in substance that the Inability of the
Schultz-Davis Company, of Myrtle
Point, to compete with Portland and
San Francisco jobbers Is due to the
disadvantageous situation of Its place
of business and the freight cntrges
It is thereby compelled to pay for
transporting its shipments of goods
in small quantities, not to tho rates
or charges placed upon tho same by
the Coos Bay, Roseburg & Eastern
R. & N. Co., the latter corporation,
by Receiver W. S. Chandler and At
torney John S. Coke, yesterday after
noon made answer to tho complaint
of T. Schultz-Davis Company to tho
Ralhoad Commission, in which
charges of excessive and discrimi
natory rates are made.
This case was flcst brought to the
attention of tho Commission inform
ally by the Schultz-Davis Company's
merchants at Myrtle Point, several
weeks ago, in which It was com
plained that the Coos Bay, Roseburg
& Eastern collected a rate of $G per
ton upon merchandise for shipment
over its line from Marshfield to Myr
tle Point as against a through rate
of $4.50 per ton from Portland and
San Francisco to Myrtle Point and
common points. It alleged discrim
ination against plaintiff and in favor
pf tho Portland-San Francisco Job
bers. In answering the complaint the C.
B., R. & E. admits all the charges
except the discriminatory and exces
sive rate charges, and explains that
the corporation is primarily engaged
In operating an industrial railroad
for the transportation of coal, lum
ber and logs between Cedar Point
and Marshfield, and that the trans
portation of meichandlso and other
commercial freight Is undertaken by
It only incidentally and more for the
accommodation of residents and busi
ness men in tho territory which it
traverses than for financial profit.
That the amount of such merchan
dise and freight offered to It is both
absolutely and comparatively trivial
and that there Is a very small rate of
profit made in handling same.
That the railroad receives all of its
lumber, coal and logs for transporta
tion at points between Cedar Point
and Marshfield and that Myrtle Point
Is beyond Cedar Point; that the oper
ation of that portion of the defend
ant's railroad Is ana for a long time
has been unremunerative and un
profitable and that the rates charged
aro reasonable, moderate and low
and the same as are usually charged
by other and more favorably situa
ted railroads, carrying much more
freight for equal distances.
Further, that the through freight
from Portland and San Francisco ar
rives by steamhslp, is not classified
according to weight, as aro all ex
clusively rail shipments, but, accord
ing to custom of shipments by water,
according to bulk or cubic contents
40 cubic feet classified and charged
for as a ton and that only tho
heaviest freight will weigh enough
to constitute a ton by measurement
and that tho average ton by measure
ment received by defendant from
steamship companies will weigh only
about 1,000 pounds. These rates, it
is claimed, aro governed by the
steamship companies and can bo han
dled cheaper by the railroad because
tho freight Is loaded directly upon
cars from tho ship and Is received
In quantities of several carloads at a
time.
That tho through rate by water
from San Francisco and Portland to
Myrtlo Point and Coqullle is less
than the rate complained of by plain
tiff and charged by steamship cora
nanles for shipments from Portland
to Marshfield and thenco by railroad (

Washington, Juno 7. That E. H.
Harriman, the ratlroaa magnate, IS
Immune from criminal prosecution ad
a result of his testimony before tho
Interstate Csmmerco Commission in
New York recently; that tho ques
tion of the prosecution of bituminous

and that tho prosecution of anthra

phia probably next week, were the
conclusions l cached at a notable con
ference hold in the White House to
night. The Harriman case and tho ca3ea
of the coal carrying roads were dis
cussed for three hours by President
Roosevelt, Secretary of State Root,
Secretary of War Taft, Secretary o
tho Treasury Cortelyou, Secretary of
the Interior Garfield, Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte, and Interstate Com
merce Commissioners Knapp, Lano
and Frank P. Kellogg. The Minne
sota special counsel for tho Govern
ment and Secretary Loeb were also
present. Following tho general con
ference Attorney General Bonaparte
remained with tho President to dis
cuss the so-called harvester trust. It
is thought not unlikely that tho ques
tion of tho prosecution of that or
ganization will be loft to tho Attor

Government AVill Expend $7,000 To
Determine tho Possibilities of
Irrigation Here.
Washington, June 7. Tho Secre
tary of the Interior has approved of
tho plans for toppgraphlc surveys in
Oregon and tho allotment of funds
for carrying out tho same. The
work of the season contemplates the
Burvey of the country surrounding
the source of Portland's water sup
ply In the Bull Run and Cascade for
est reserves, including a part of
Mount Hood. The survey will cover
an area of 1,200 square miles. This
entire country will be surveyed and
mapped on a largo scale, tho entire
work to cost $7,000.
Another survey will bo made of
thq Kerby country, west of Grant's
Pass, lying in the Siskiyou forest re
servo, in Southern Oregon. This
survey will cover about 900 square
miles and cost $9,000.
A third topographic survey will
cover a tract of the country on the
south bank of tho Columbia river
along the Umatilla river and Butter
creok, west of Pendleton. Tho Na
tional Government has allotted
$3,500 for this work, and tho Stato
will expend $2,500 additional, under
State Engineer J. H, Lewis. The
purpose of this survey Is to deter
mine the irrigation possibilities qt
this particular region.
Coqullle. And, finally, that in all
the time the plaintiff has been in
business, it has shipped less than two
tona of merchandise over the defend
ant's railroad and that suck ship
ments have been in small lots at
different times.
