Boise, June 10. During the pro gress of the morning cession the de fense received number of telegrams frcm persons named by Orchard as knowing of his alleged crimes, all asking to be called to deny the alle gations.

Orchard did not knew where he met Adams on the day of the expksion. It might have been at his house, but he did not know. He denied being cautioned not to fix either time or place, end said Hawley and McParland simply tnld him to go ahead and tell the truth. This caused a laugh In the court room, which was quickly sup pressed by the deputies. Up to the time of the depot explosion he had received $735 from Moyer and Hay wood. Orchard denied he received letters from Superintendent Berangs of Plnkerton agency, or from Wm. Pln kerton of Chlcigo, telling him what com so to pursue or what could be done for him after trial. , Richardson devoted nearly three quarters of an hour to questioning Orchard regarding money he got, but the witness" memory on thin point was hazy as to ameunts or dates. CLanied a Definition. Richardson got another laugh from the court room by asking why the witness used the word assassinate when speaking of killing, and de manding to know If It came from as sociation with McParland. Orchard snld "No," he had learned the mean ing of the word since he had been in the penitentiary. He declared he did not plan to explode the powder before the train arrived, but when asked If he did not actually do so, said he did not want to Injurs any railroad men, so he exploded the powder when he saw the headlight of the engine com ing. Apparently Richardson Is trying ts show the blowing up of the depot was not Intended to kill anyone, but war a plot to blow up a deserted building and so give an excuse fon keeping the mllltla in the district. The witness Insisted however, that he knew non-union men were In the depot about the time of the explo sion. After the explosion he went to Denver. He went at once to Simp kins' room and told him about it. Soon afterwards Haywood and Pettl bons enme and the matter was dis cussed. They -aid It was a good Job. James Kirwan, now acting secretary, was lso there, but he left before they talked about tho crime. IN-Pouml p.nby at Birth. Chicago, June 10.

T RESPONSIBLE FOR THE IDEA OF UNCONSTITUTIONALITY Erroneous Conclusions Arrived at In Relation to the Recent Decision of the Supreme Court Communica tion from Director Newell to Jolm T. Whistler Direct and Reassuring ou the Subject. Herinlston, June 10. J. T. Whist ler, chief engineer of the reclamation service at Hcrmlston, Is in receipt of the following communication from Director F. H. Newell, which bears upon the recent decision of the Unit' ed States supreme court in the Colorado-Kansas case, which caused con siderable excitement: "The caso of Kansas vs. Colorado, decided by the U. S. supreme court, contains expressions which are con strued by some of the press as a declaration that the reclamation act la unconstitutional. "That is entirely Incorrect The court made no such statement nnd has not prejudiced that question In any way. "The l:iiisuago referred to Is con tained In an illustration used by the court to show that congress is re strained In Its legislative powers by the constitution. Discussing the pos sible exercise of congressional legis lative power beyond constitutional limits in regard to the reclamation of arid lands, the court said: " 'Nor do we understand that here tofore congress has acted In disre gard to this limitation.' "The consideration of this question was not In any way involved In the case before the court. "There Is no good reason to doubt that the reclamation act will be ful ly sustained If Its constitutionality should come directly before the court. Aside from this the decision Is as satisfactory for irrigation de velopment generally as could have been expected." MAYORS HELD RESPONSIBLE. Decision Will ProlMibly Close Saloons on Sunday.

Mexico City, June 10. Plans for lh- federation of the live Central American republics have at last tak en definite form. If the ideas of those most Interested materialize, a congress will be held in Mexico City, which will be attended by over 300 delegates. On.e hundred and fifty of these will be Central Americans now resident In this republic, and the remainder will be regularly appoint ed delegates from each of tho five republics. Dr. Francisco Reyes, ex minister to Mexico from Salvador, Is the leader of the movement. He will shortly visit each of the Central American republics to explain the Ituutlon. One" drawback is the lack of offi cial character which the meeting may have. To overcome this, the leaders hope that they can prevail upon Pres ident Diaz to call the meeting. While Senor Diaz has emphatically announc ed that Mexico does not entertain the Idea of a protectorate for the settle ment of Central American troubles, it It argued that the mere calling of the proposed convention would In no way nullify Mexico's previous declara tion and would give the assembly the desired standing. The question of federation could then he settled by the Central Am ericans themselves.

Personally From Prosecution by the Government New York. June 10. The decision of the federal authorities not to In stitute criminal proceedings against E. H. Harrlman In connection with his railroad operations, was the prin cipal subject of discussion on Wall street today. Mr. Harrlman spent the dny at his country home, and his as sociates would not discuss the matter for publication. Interests friendly to Mr. Harrlman nssert a belief that the government will abandon Its case against the so called Harrlman lines. The idea that Mr. Harrlman would be criminally prosecuted was never very seriously entertained In financial circles. Mr. Harrlman's friends say that there has been no bnsls for such action and that most of the alleged illegal acts Im puted to him are barred by the stat ute of limitations. The stock mar kets's response to the news was a substantial rise In the Harrlman is sues, with corresponding advances elsewhere In the list. SMOKED DRIED ALFALFA.

Washington, June 10. The threat ened international incident as a re sult of the San Fiancisco disturbances is merely an exhibition of ward poll tics on a large scale. The only In ternational feature is that there hap pens to be In this country a number of Japanese In sympathy with tho opposition party at home. The traditional friendship between Japan and the United States Is undis turbed. The San Francisco incident Is regarded here as not bigger than a window smashing affair, ! Some Japanese are Belligerent. Tokic, June 10. The progressive parties In council today adopted this resolution: The anti-Japanese feeling on the Paclfio coast of the United States, especially at San Francisco, which culminated In an asault on Japnese trading places this month, constituted one of the most flagrant violations of the rights guaranteed by a treaty concluded on equal footing between the two nations. It is necessary that proper steps be taken by our govern ment In osder to maintain our na tional dignity and permanently in sure the safety of the rights of prop erty of our compatriots in America, AMERICANS KILLED.
