Interest Throughout tat. Great Interest Is being aroused throughout th city and th state by the proposal to apply th provlalons of th Bherman law to any combination which rnay be operating now or may spring up n th future In the city of Portland. The acheme seems to be a new one. never before applied to the municipal government or control of such Illegal combinations and attorneys have been looking Into the matter closely to see whether or not the oounoll haa the power to draft and enact an ordinance auch as Is proposed and whloh would be effective and binding and at the sain time In accord with the require ments of the constitution and laws of the state. This Investigation has led those mak - lng it to the conoluslon that the city charter does grant the power and that It Is therefore possible to draw and paaa an ordinance which would be lust aa effective In regulating municipal trusts or combinations aa is the Bher man act In its application to the abuses , of th Interstate combinations agalnat . which war is now being waged through out the federal courts or tne nation. Relying on these opinions different . members of the council are In favor of th-. eroDoaed . ordinance and have an nounced thet they will support it when .' - It comes up for consideration at th next meetlnr. George L. Baker Is heartily In favor of the plan and this morning stated that he could be relied on by the people of .the city to vote for the ordinance If It ' followed out , the spirit and intent of the Bherman law. "I have not had th time to give the mauer any aeiauea tnougni," saia Mr. Baker this morning, "but If an ordln . ' ance can be drafted that will be effec tive and will give a remedy for th control of any combination which may now be in the city or may In future be ' formed here, I will support It and will vote for it. I believe that all such com- Dinauons ahould be regulated so that th peopl can aeeure Just treatment and r equitable conalderation. If a city ordln ; ance can bring thla about I will be In favor of It and will support it." -. iu N.

At th tlm h was arrested Jack Slmpklns was a member of the executive board In the states of Idaho. Washington and Oregon. He has known Slmpklns since 1102. Moyer testified that he bad never met Steunenberg and had no personal ani mosity against him. He gave financial aid to the strikers in the Coeur d'Alenes and believed their cause just Returning to the Cripple Creek dis trict he said that before the strike be gan it was the rlcheet mining camp In the world, all miners being members of the union. The first strike occurred In Colorado City, February. 10I. He fav th history of this atrlka and said hat the company discriminated agalnat union men. In August a general strike wss declared. Moyer reviewed the strike and aatd that no real trouble waa reported until after tha militia went into the diatrlot He and hie associates had counselled moderation and deprecated violence. He did his best to keep his men cool. He reviewed his connection with the strike and told of his arreet in Tellurlde and the refusal of tha militia to recognise court orders and how people were har raased by th mllltla and generally re viewed th entire Cripple Creek matter. His testimony differed but little from thet of numerous others given pre viously. Moyer said he first met Steve Adams in Cripple Creek at a labor picnic. He met Orchard at headquarters in Den ver In January, 1004. He knew little about the latter until his trial for the train wrecking case in the following March. Ha denied that he ever gave Orchard money for the Vindicator ex plosion, or any., other act tOf violence. He never met Orchard except aa a member of th federation and never gav him money to use Illegally. He awore that Orchard lied when he said he gave him $100 in the hall at Victor and told him to do everything possible to kill th scabs. Th witness was pos itive In bts denials all along the line. After th train wrecking case, Orch ard cam to his office and said he waa going to Sllverton. Moyer told him he waa going to Ouray and asked him to go with him aa a guard. Orchard had a revolver. He hold him he could let him have an automatic pull shotgun If he wanted It He had Pettibone get two, one for each, and packed them In suit cases. He accompanied Orchard and left for Ouray two days later. Darrow Interrupted to ask if his shot gun was used to kill Gregory with.

His attorneys demanded hla re lease, but Instead he waa turned over to detectives and taken to Cripple Creek where he waa charred with riot and murder. At the time the latter offense waa al leged he was outside the state in Jop lln. Missouri.
