DISPLAYS NERVOUSNESS
Testimony Shatters Harry Or
chard's Evidence.
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

W.O.W. 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.

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."

tion. Particulars of the missing jewels

a cross of rubles and emeralds and
other stones of tho value of $150,
000; a diamond badge set In silver,

sisting of golden harps and enameled

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.
