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. Will Is alao back of the move
. - ment if it la shown that an ordinance
would be ffctlve and within th law.
Wills Backs afoyemea.
"If titer la any way to gat at th
combination now operating In the city I
' will be for that ordinance." Mr. Wflle
said this morning. "I will hav to be

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. He
said: "No, the shotgun was never dis
charged up to the time of my arrest It
is still in my apartments In Denver and
was never used."

He sold he was arrested under a mur

to detectives and taken to Cripple Creek
where he waa charred with riot and
