I President of Western Feder
ation Proves Good Witness
for Defense in Haywood
Trial Explains Connec
tion With Orchard.
y
(Br John Nevlas.)
Boise, Ida., June 10. With Charles H.
Mover, president of the Western Fed
eration of Miners, on the stand, the de-
fense began today leading- lta trump
cards to win the treat stake, the life
of William D. Haywood, accused of the
: murder of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg. Mover proved a good wit
ness. He waa calm, cool and collected and
recited In an even voice hla connection
with tha federation from the day' he
first became a member In Iead, South
Dakota, to the day he waa taken from
bis .home and burrled under guard .tp
this city.
'Orchard never received a cent from
me to commit any crime," he asserted.
In these words the real purpose of the
defense ems made apparent. v If Orchard
commltteeXny orimes, a be himself as
serts, he did so. not at the request f
Moyer, Haywood or Petttbone, but be
cause of personal reasons or arrange
ments. aives Orchard the He.
Moyer's testimony was a real denial
of every material charge made against
him and Haywood by Orchard. He ex
plained the connection of Harry Orchard
with himself on the memorable trip to
Ouray, which culminated In his arrest
and detention in the bull-pen at Tellu
ride for desecrating the American flag,
br saying that Orchard wanted to go ;
to SUverton to look for work and he
went to help him protect himself from
assault ny agents or me mine owners.
He swore positively that Orchard lied
when he said that he used his (Moyer's)
shotgun to kill Lyte Gregory, declaring
that the gun which he took to Ouray
tiever had been discharged. He identi
fied the flag poster, which resulted in
bis arrest, on which on alternate stripes
of the American flag carried the charges

Through It all Mover was a rood wit

little light on conditions In Crlpplo

by previous witnesses.

Mrs. Moyer occupied a seat In the
dourtroom and through the tedious
jay's proceerings the witness's eyes
many times rested lovingly on her. She

Rumors of Conflict Between
America and Japan Cause
Brokers to Worry.
(Joornal Special Serrks.)
New York. July 10. Rumors of an
Impending war between the United
States and Japan were the direct cause
of a sharp break in the value of Amer
ican securities on the London stock mar
ket today which caused a similar move
ment in New Tork prices. In this City
the most secure! stock on the exchange
was cast aside. Amalgamated Copper
lost nearly IS a share at tne closing.
The loss In Chloaao. Milwaukee ft St
Paul seock reached over $4.50 a share
and at the closing Reading company's
common stock was 14 a share under
the price of yesterday.
To make matters worse even the clos
ing hardly stopped the selling, for of
fers, of stock at the end of the session
were muoh greater than the demand,
even at the low levels which prices
reached at that time. '
The Harrlman Issues as well as those
controlled by Hill were hurt by the bear
attack but their losses were not so se
vere an In some of the others. The gen
era market, however, closed with a
slump.
To some extent the decline was oc
casioned by the feverish state of the
money market, but, this was axsravatad
by the war talk.
An Idea of the cost of prosecuting
violators of the federal laws in Oregon
can be gained by the fact that. United
States Attorney William C. Bristol has
made a requisition for $50,000 with
which to carry on the work. This
money is used only for witness and jury
fees and does not pay the salaries of
the employes engaged In the work, or
the expenses of the court. . '
In 1906 the government spent $85,000
from March until September in present
ing evidence before the grandjury and
in -trying land fraud cases. This year
17,000 was spent in securing indict
ments, of this amount $3,500 waa spent
In Indicting the furniture trust. That
case has been prolific, however. In that
the fines amounting to $4,776 have al
ready been paid to . the government.
There are still 67 members to inncar in
court, and these will probably yield an
other $1,000 In fines.
