' ' By John Kevins.
(Jownal Special Service.)
' Boise.' Ida- ' Jul 1. When , court re-
onvened today for the fifty-first day
. of the Haywood trial Morris Friedman,
'. former stenographer of the Denver Pin
kerton detective agency was recalled
and the fight to set Into the evidence
the records he copied while there began.
The oompetencx of those documents was
seriously questioned. .The Argument was
.lengthy and tecnlcatj( "
Jud ge , Wood admitted the . reports of
Friedman. -Many of them will rehash
the previous testimony, and all ( reports
showed that the. Pioksrtons absolutely
- controlled the situation In every union.
When .the- luncheon reoess was called.
- Darrow was still reading from tne re
norts. - ' -1 ..-'
On cross-examination, Friedman said
that he took the reports because he be
lieved that they belonged to the Western
Federation, the United Mine workers nd
the machinists" organisation and that
he, by publishing them, considered that
he was returning stolen property.
f - Asked 'Why he only took certain re
ports, be said because they were good
samples, and that if he had known how
;-"iar tne present case wooia nave uuo
he would haveaken tther reports.
Borah strenuously demanded that he
tell what documents there were In the
agency he would like, to have to throw
light on the .subject. He finally said
that there wasVone written by MePar
land to General Superintendent Bangs
"In New forks telling how he organised
. the.mlneownera of Cripple Creek and
' got them to employ the agency. He
also said the weekly business agency
reports, from October, 10J, to the time
l-left the service, contained much, mat
ter' pertinent to the case. His cross
examination was severe, but so far as
to throwing light upon (the points at
Issue had little bearing.
- During 108 the Mlneowners asso
ciation, the witness swore, was a client
of the Thiel agency, not of the Pinker
tons. Also during 104. although the
Individual members employed Pinker
tlona. Friedman was only perfunctorily
eross-exsmined.
Wore a rink Bhirt,
B. F. Bets of Goldfleld, formerly of
Cripple Creek, cSused a ripple of amuse
ment by taking the stand without his
coat, wearing a loud pink shirt and
baby blue suspenders. He was In the
bullpen in November, 1903. his cellmate
being Floyd Thompson, later secretary
of the Mlneowners' association. Thomp
son, he said,-told him that when they
rot out of the bullpen they ought to
blow up , wno put in em in m ouu

of his operations and-declared that Gen

In command and gave tne oraers wnicn

Ha swore that he was ordered to
reprimand a merchant "who sold goods

chants were forbidden to sell" to anyone
connected witn the unions or.their sym
pathisers. 'HO SSIQ tnai guards orougni

they -were not molested by the troops.
The witness swore, positively that the

Ing the shot, he wss detailed on duty
In the Golden Cycle, and when he came

"Portland is showing a more rapid
and healthy development than any

During the fair year he psld a flying
visit to Portland, but what he has seen
upon his return two years later aston
ishes him. In speaking of his impres
sions of Portland, Mr. Kahn satd this
morning; '
"Portland Is going ahead much faster
than the people who live here realise.
When you see development under your
eyes every day as you residents do it is
not Impressive, but let a person go away

The onH thins in which I do not seo

recent election the people took care of
that subject.
"Tp my mind Portlsnd Is the best city
In the Pacific northwest today. It offers
more opportunities for investments than
any other place I have visited. During
the next few years much money will
be made in Portland real estate and
the advances in values will not be -the
result of any boom, but will come with
the great growth the city is. experienc
ing.
"No one can make a mistake In real
estate. Investments in Portland. Real
estate purchased .In. almost any part of
the cttv is good, and -to make such In
vestments safe and secure a person only
has to exercise ordinary judgment."

Great uncertainty Is hanging over the

If tha veto of tha mayor should be

In order, to furnish .the necessary as

LIQUOR IRAFFIC

So Declares Rev; Foulkes in
) 'Eloquent Sermon'Before

' - Bev.v William Hiram Foulkes, P. D
pastor of the First Presbyterian church,
took for his text yesterday Epheshms
3:xli ' "Our wrestlings' ars not against
'iPi-hjSind blood 'but' aralnst the world
Va of this darkness." - He said in
"niugt admit the realits' and the
i r of organised evil. Evil is an ex

nimnesa is. an exDandlhg and
elf-s(u:ilfioing force. .Any theory ' of
vil which overlooks its organised real
ity and rower and which combats it in
an unorganised way 4 Indefensible and

The liquor traffic is a eoncrete tn

in the state for the sale of liquor, and
the supreme court of Kansas has taken
cognizance of this open defiance of the
law and by unanimous action has or
dered the breweries' property in Kansas
confiscated, and what a howl has gone
up! They knew they were in a law
defying business, . and it was their aim
to break down the law."
, Mr. Foulkes came out strongly on the
prohibition question, saying that it has
his full sympathy. "While I know its
defects," he said, "I know also Its two
strong advantages. One of these is that
under prohibition the saloon has no po
litical standing and no social standing
is given, those engaging in -the busi
ness. "The licensed saloon Is the concrete
embodiment of the traffic which is
the concrete embodiment of - organised
iniquity, the unholiest of unholies. Be

isions. wnan the council will pass it
thus, allowlna- the use of the tunnel
plan by the road. The objections made
to the ordinance by the mayor were that
while the common user clauae affixed
to it gave all roads the privilege of
using tne tunnel it did not give any
trains other than O. B, & N.- trains the
privilege to use the gpproaohss at either
end, mug to all practical intents and
purposes shutting outside roads from
tne use of the tunnel proper.
Another reason was that the ordi
nance as drawn granted a perpetual
franchise to the company. It Is believed
the framers of the ordinance will rem
edy these defects snd present the matter
to the counoll once more with a greater
probability tnat the moyor wui amx nis

ROAST ON FORESTRY
, (Special Dispatch to Tb JooraaL)
Spokane, Wash., July l.---Glltord
Plnchot addressed Informally a well at
tended meeting of business man and
land owners at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho,
Saturday. He did not deliver s, lecture,
only answering questions, and the large
number of these and the manner In
which some of them were asked showed
that the people of northern Idaho are
opposed to President Roosevelt's forest
gion. Mr. Plnchot came west in re
sponse to requests to investigate the
timber conditions existing in Idaho and
other western states and will remain
In - the west during the Summer.
The popular attitude was much In
evidence when Representative Joseph
Fallon addressed the gathering. He
took to task the forestry department
and was much applauded. Bald Mr.
Fallon
"The department has placed 40 per
cent of the state of Idaho in forest re
serves, while 75 Ser cent of Kootenai,
Bonner and Shoshone counties have
Rone Into the reserve, thus making
less counties a liability for the rest
oi tne state to carry.
"Regardless of what the government
has done toward protecting the forests

they consider their heritage in making

Mr. Pinchot refused to dlsouss tha
political nature of the Denver conven
tion, except to say that the assertion
that It was backed for Roosevelt wasJ
