REFUTES DYNAMITE STORY Believed Tlint Western Federation Oniclal Will Occupy Stand About Two Days. Boise, July 11. William D. Hay wood took oath today In his own be half and In a longthy narrative of his life and his work as leader of his fellow miners, that was Inter rupted by adjournment, denied the guilt of the murder of Prank Steu nenberg and tho manifold crimes (charged against him by Orchard. Haywood was pale and trembled with nervousness when ho left the table of his counsel and walked around to tho elevated stand, where ho faced tho judge and jury and raised his right hand to be sworn. When ho began to respond to Darrow's questions his voice was low and somewhat uncertain, but within ten minutes ho had regained his composure, and for tho rest of the afternoon ho was master of his feelings. Haywood's testimony was chlofly characterized by positive de nials of tho allegations made against him by tho prosecution. He denied he met Orchard until some time af ter tho Vindicator explosion; denied ho sent Orchard back to Cripple Creek to blow up the Independence station, and denied the participation in tho Gregory murder, and denied tho suggesting or discussing of tho Stopunenberg murder. Ho sworo ho nover gavo Orchard any money at any time or place for any purpose. Ho declared he never made any threat against Steunen bcrg, whom ho said ho regarded only as a politician who was being swayed ily capitalistic Influences. Ho told of a number of occasions when he met Orchard in Denver in tho ordinary course of his relations with tho Federation and George A. Pettlbone, and said ho saw Orchard for tho last time in August, 1905, when Orchard told him ho was going to Alaska. It was predicted yesterday that Haywood's direct and cross-examination would tako up two and per haps three days. It was thought Moyer could be disposed of in one day. That being true it will be tho last of this week bofore tho state can begin its rebuttal. Tho rebuttal promises to be very extensive and may tako a whole week. Then will come the final arguments which none of tho attorneys will even make a guess as to their length. It seems hardly probable that tho base can now bo entirely closed beforo tho last week of this month and it would not bo surprising if a verdict or dis agreement is not reported by tho jury before the first week in August. F. C. Robertson of Spokane, form erly of the firm of Robertson, Miller & Rosenhaupi, tho firm from whom Orchard, then known to the public only as Thomas Hogan, got a tele gram in tho Canyon county jail that their Fred Miller would go to Cald well immediately to defend him, ar rived In tno city yesterday and last night was closeted at tho Idanha for somo timo with Attorney Clarence Darrow of tho defense. It was shown by tho state that Orchard got the telogram from tho Spokane law firm without having sent out any telegrams or messages of any sort from tho jail. It is sup posed that Mr. Robertson is hero to explain how his firm came to go to Orchard's aid. The defense have en aeavored to explain that it has al ways been tho policy of tho Western Federation of Miners to defend any of Its members In legal trouble in matters in which tho federation is in any way involved. They do not explain how it came that an attorney went to Orcnard's asslstanco before there was any intimation of a sus picion that tho Western Federation was connected with the crime In Caldwell. Tho members of tho jury yester day took their trip over tho Boise Valley lino to Ustlck and tho ceme tery as planned and greatly enjoyed tho outing. It was, as usual, a very quiet Sun day at tho Jail. Tho three prisoners were visited during tho day by tho various members of their families present, Mrs. Moyer staying with her husband a longer time than usual. Haywood expressed himself as ex ceedingly anxiouB to tako the stand himself and said he hoped the ex amination would be complete and thorough. Ho said he was prepared ! AS. A A A A A A-iv.

INSURANCE FAULTY COLORADO COMMISSIONER AD VISES REFORM. Says Order Should Adopt a Safe Method of Providing Ex pense Fund. Denver, Col., July 11. E. E. Rlt tenhouse, state commissioner of In surance, In a letter to I. I. Boak, head consul of the Woodmen of the World (Pacific jurisdiction), made public today, calls attention to the fact that during tho past year tho amount collected for tho benefit or mortuary fund was $76,816 less than tho benefits paid to members. Mr. Rlttcnhouse also finds that an insufficient sum of money Is provided for tho expenses of tho order and that there Is unjust discrimination in tho rates charged for insurance, the rato to new members being about twice that which the original members of the organization are paying. Tho insurance commissioner finds that tho order Is entirely solvent with a total of $1,401,953 on hand, most of which is in the reserve fund, but he recommends that the order adopt without delay some method of providing, first, an adequate expense fund; second, elimination of unjust , discrimination, and, third, adequate rates to protect policy obligations. The order has over 100,000 mem- ' bers, a quarter of whom reside in Colorado. ' I The recommendations of Mr. Rlt tenliouso aro concurred In by Mr. Boak.

San Francisco's Temporary Mayor Tells the Story of His Downfall. ATTY. HENEY GETS ANGRY Prosecutor's Ire Aroused by Attorney Delmas. JUDGE LAWLER INTERFERES llcncy Is Termed Hot-Headcd Tele- rhonc Ofllcinl Will Come Next. San Francisco, July 11. Dr. Charles Boxton, temporary mayor of San Francisco, pn tho witness stand today in the Glass trial told the story of his dobauchment by Theo. V. Hal sey, tho Indicted agent of tho Pacific States Telephone Company, who ho testified paid him $5,000 "mostly In $100 bills," for having voted and used his Influence as supervisor against granting a rival franchise to the Homo Telephone. Boxton was the last and only Important witness of an othorwise tedious day. He was not reluctant nor yet a noticeably willing testifier; but his examination by Heney was so spiked about Iby clover objections from Delmas often sustained that at length the gore of the assistant district attorney arose and he hotly accused his veteran aaversary of try ing to close tho issue and impede Jus tice. An indulgent reply from tho velveted front pew of the synagogue court room where sits tho defend ant's attorneys provoked the prose cutor to an audible thanksgiving that though the other folk's veins might be filled with Ice water, his were not, and when Delmas had respond lngly alluded to the "Dutch" in his opponent's make-up, Judge Lawlor laid tho ban on the two of them. "No more of these exhibitions," ho warned. But for all that they clashed again somo twenty minutes later. Henoy objected to the question interpolated by Delmas and was sustained. Sub sequently at a whispered word from one of his associates, he withdrew his objection. "Oh," smiled Delmas, with irri tating good humor, "I thought you would do that." "I withdrew my objection," re torted Heney, "because I think It not a wise one and because" with what looked like a nod and wink at tho jury "I am .wjllling to help you build up your reputation by making as much out of that as you can," "I fear," mocked Delmas, "that tho structure you refer to will gain nothing from your quarter." And then, In the midst of a responsive titter, ho launched a vigorous objec tion to his "learned' 'adversary's nod and wink. Whon they had fought about it a little while, Judge Law lor remarked with a show of dis pleasure, "I thought tho court in structed you gentlemen to proceed with the witness. "I thought I stated these exhibi tions between the counsel must cease." Delmas smiled across the chancel space, murmuring, "You hot headed ." "I'm not hot-headed," protested Heney, flushing up. They let it go at that, and re turned to tho witness. Tho cross- examination of Boxton was scarcely under way when District Attorney Langdon asked an adjournment to permit Boxton to attend to a very "important meeting of the board of supervisors." It was then 4:30. Judge Lawlor reluctantly consented, after it ap peared that Henry T. Scott, of tho Pacific States Company, was tho next witness W the prosecution's list was not In attendance, though ho had been specially summoned. Tho judge stated If any witnesses are ab sent when tho court Is called tomor row, ho will have them brought there by process. CONFERENCE STILL CONTINUES Mrs. Eddy's Attorneys Discuss Ap pointments.

OFFICIAL SAYS NORTHWEST SUPPLY LIMITED. Predicts Much Trouble Coining AVin- ter Months Mine Output Inadequate. Spokane, July 11. That there is a shortage of coal at present In the northwest, and that the mines in tho several districts tributary to Spokane aro producing only enough fuel for dally use, Is the verdict of Professor Joseph A. Holmes, chief of the technological department of the geological survey, who accom panied the Garfield party to Spo kane. Professor Holmes has made a thorough Investigation of the coal situation in the northwest since he has been here, and fears a serious condition this winter. "I have visited nearly every coal field In the northwest," said Pro fessor Holmes, "and I find that thcro Is just about enough coal on hand to meet Ithe immediate de mands. There is no surplus accu mulating at any of the districts, and I found not a single mine that had coal for storage purposes. There Is practically no coal being shipped from tho Wyoming mines on ac count of labor troubles, and there is no assurance that more labor will bo secured. In British Columbia the railroads are getting all of the coal not needed for homo use. The Canadian law will not allow the pro duction from that country to come Into the United States until its home needs are attended to, and at the present rate of production there will not be any more than Is needed for home use and tho railroads. There is practically no coal coming from tho western part of Washington. "The mine operators appear to be taking advantage of the situation, and are advancing the price of their coal. At some of tho mines the prices have advanced from 50 to 100 per cent over last year. The price of wood has also gone up, and Is now almost out of reach of the average man. "The situation, to say the least, Is alarming, and I anticipate much trouble from the shortage during the coming winter." ROYAL GEMS ARE MISSING VALUED AT A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS.

FEARS A COAL SH0RTAG KftflBB I HS3 I X 111 m Ke THENT Japan Will Not Accept Com pact Unless Exclusion Clause Is Stricken. P0LCY OUTLINED BY JAPAN Vigorous Efforts Will Be Put Forth by Government, WILL INVESTIGATE COAST Will Find Out Whether Little Brown Men Are Discriminated Against. Washington, July 11." That the Japanese Government will not con sent to the renewal of the treaty with the United States If this Gov ernment reserves the right to In sert a clause in tho compact exclud ing Japanese coolie labor from the Continental United States is consid ered probable from semi-official ad vices purporting to give the views of Foreign Minister Hayashi, which were received here today from Ota taki Yamaoma, the personal repre sentative of Count Okuma, the lead er of the progressive party. Yamaoma, who visited the United States in April and perfected an alli ance with the Japanese of the Pacific coast for the purpose of bringing about the overthrow of the Salonji Ministry and the annulment of the exclusion clause in the immigration bill, Is authority for the statement that Foreign Mlslster Hayashi has received from Secretary of State Root a preliminary "note" regarding the new treaty which the two Gov ernments propose to substitute for the convention which expires July 11, 1911. Tho draft of the new treaty submitted by Secretary Root, according to the communication. called for the renewal of article 2, clause 4, of the present treaty, which gives to each nation the right to regulate immigration. With refer ence to the "note" submitted by Secretary Root, Yamaoma says that Foreign Minister Hayashi has is sued an official confidential memo randum outlining tho Japanese Gov ernment's attitude on the question of the limitation of immigration which, in substance, is as follows: First That the United States has submitted a proposition for the en- Lactment of a treaty which provides ror the limitation of immigration. The government of Japan has reject ed the proposal and will not in the future entertain any such proposi tion. Second That in the now treaty the government of Japan will Insist on striking out the article 2, clause 4, defining the power reserved by the contracting parties to enact lawB with regard to police and immigra tion regulations. For that purpose the government of Japan shall tako a most vigorous attitude. Third That the government of Japan contemplates sending repre sentatives to the United States to In vestigate conditions on the Pacific coast, and determine if tho Japaneso residents aro discriminated against. Yamaoma, it is said, has sent copies of Foreign Minister Hnyashl's confidential memorandum to the Japanese societies of San Francisco and Seattle, and to correspondents of Japan newspapers in this country. Dr. Masuji Mlyakawa, the Japan ese lawyer, admitted that he had seen a copy of tho communication, which is being distributed by Ya maoma, and characterized the atti tude of Foreign Minister Hayashi as a concession to tho progressives, who havo strongly opposed tho clause In the Immigration bill excluding coolie labor from this country.
