BOISE, Idaho. July K. Rebuttal evidence
In the Haywood trial this morning covered
a wide range. It started In California, re
turned to Idaho and finished the session In
Colorado. Four wltneasee supported the
general attack now being made by the
prosecution on the evidence by which the,
defense hoped to prove perjury a,alnst
Hurry Orchard. After Lawrence Gulbu:nnl
had sustained Orrhard, as to the condition
Of the Brudley residence In 1904, the fcen
changed to tlio Coeur d'Alenes and a physi
cian of Burke (wore to seeing Orohaid in
Burke on the day of the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mill explosion. Witnesses for the
defense have sworn to playing poker with
Orchard at the came time in Oem, many
miles away over the mountains.
A. T. Holman, a mine superintendent In
Colorado, now manager of tho Golden
Cycle mlno and formerly superintendent
of the Vindicator mine, was called to con
tradict statements made by the witness,
Wood, who described the condition of the
alxth level In the Vindicator Immediately
after the explosion. Holman whs extremely
circumstantial and careful In his descrip
tions, using a chart, which was placed on
an easel for his convenience. Mr. Holman
also told of labor conditions and of at
tacks by union men upon "scabs."
In his cross-examination K. P. Richard
son went closely Into the situation In
Colorado during the labor troubles. Hoi- '
man strongly supported the contention that
conditions wefe such as to demand the
presence of the rnllitla.
Dr. Mcd.e Gives Boad.
Dr. I. L. McGee, the witness for the de
fense, who Is charged with perjury, ar
rived in Boise thla morning. Ho readily
gave bonds In the sum of fii.000. C. F.
A Her, the other defense witness who wa
arretted yesterday, was given a preliminary
Clearing this morning. He was represented
'y Peter Breen of Butte, one of the at
torneys for the defense.
The third day of the state's case In re-
juttal against William D. Haywood was
KHgun wiui x.awrence uuiDOim, me Dan
Francisco grocer, again on the stand. He
was recalled at the request of the defense.
' lie was aoiked a few additional Questions as
; lo geographical locations in the nelghbor
I hood ot the Bradley apartment house.
' . A. C. Cogswell of Wallace, Idaho, fol
lowed Oulbblnl. He was called further to
Impeach Dr. I. L. MeGee, a witness for
, the defense, who Is under arrest and who
j lias been brought to Boise from Spokane,
i where he was taken Into custody. Dr.
McGee testified as to certain dates by fix
ing tho date of a county republican con
i ventlon in Wallace. Mr. Cogswell, who
was permanent chairman of the convention,
gave different dates. The attorneys for the
defense moved to strike out the evidence
as immaterial and when this motion was
. denied they declined to cross-examine.
! Tho Mob at Bunker Hill.
While Cogswell was on the stand the
state ottered in evidence a copy of the
Idaho Tribune, published at Wallace, and
Identified as the official organ of the local
unions of the Western Federation of Miners
i at that time. The paper contained a three
, column account of the flowing up of the
j Bunker Hill and Bulllvan mill which the
I state desired to place before the Jury In
j answer to Attorney Darrow'. opening atate-
I ment that the defense would show that the
I crowd which attacked the mill was an un
' organized mob. 1 In the argument which
arose over the admissibility of the news
paper, attorneys Hawley for the state,
i and Richardson for the defense, had -
I sharp clash and personalities were Indulged
(In for the first time since the trial started.
Judge Wood took the matter under ad
visement, indicating that he probably would
I not admit the paper in view of the fact that
I the defense had Introduced no evidence In
j support of the opening statement by counsel
, for the defense.
r

' I .
Hid Not See Orchard.
Edward R. Alvard, a druggist of Burke,
ho, was called and testified that he did
I not see Harry Orchard about town during
) the time the mob had gone to Wardner to
I blow up the Bunker Hill mill. He did see
Orchard, however, immediately after the
; train got back.
On crofls-examlnatlon Alvard said he had
: no personal grudge against the federation,
; although he had a member of It arrested
for ordering- him out of the country. He
I denied that he had ever had any trouble
on account of insanity or that his wife had
sued for a divorce on that ground- He
was not living with his family, however.
A. T. Holman. a mine operator ot Cripple
Creek, next took the stand. At the time
of the strike Mr. Holman was In charge
of the Golden Cyole mine. Prior to 19 he
was In the Vindicator mine. The witness
told of some personal experiences with the
strike committee and then went Into a de
scription of the Vindicator mine explosion.
Mr. Homan reached the sixth level, where
MeOorrnlck and Beak were killed, within
twenty minute after the explosion.
A plot or diagram of the level In the
mine was Introduced In evidence and de
scribed te the jury In detail.

WASHINGTON, July li.A dlspateh 're
ceived this afternoon from Admiral Sno-w,
commandant of the Boston navy yard,
gives the condition of the injured men as
follows: Midshipman Cruse, worse; Seaman
Walsh, fatal; Ordinary Seaman Meese,

Admiral Snow says that the commandirg
officer of the Georgia could not explain e
cause of the explosion.
Admiral Brownson, chief of the bureau
of navigation, conferred with Acting Sec
retary Newberry today regarding the ac
cident on the Georgia. The report of the
board of Investigation is expected to come
by wireless telegraph from Admiral
Thomas, commanding the second division
of the battleship fleet, as soon as com
pleted. The explanation of the action of the
Navy department In ordering the Georgia
i to resume her target practice as soon as
the victims of the accident had been re
moved from the ship, is found In the fact
that there Is extreme danger of a general
demoralization of the 'crew which has sus
tained such an accident If they are per-
I mltted to brood over it before undertaking
j again to handle the big guns.
The almost inevitable result Is a loss of
"nerve," such as acrobats suffer when they
I navo BUgtained a fall, the only means of
av-oldlnar which is to Immediately renew
the attempt to accomplish a particular "feat
of Btreristh or agility which led to the
occllent. So in the case of the Georgia
it was felt to be absolutely necessary to
j BOt the men agaln lnto the turretB ttnd at
their work of handling the big guns, treat
ing this disaster as Just such an Incident
as might occur in the heat of action with
a foe.
The bodies of the dead will be sent homo
for burial at government expense where this
is required by their relatives or friends;
In case the bodies are not claimed, they will
be interred ln the naval cemetery at Bos-,
ton. The navigation bureau has been In
formed that the board of examination to
inquire Into the cause of the accident In
tended to begin Its examination today.

himself, Rudolph Spreckels and Francis
J. Heney, said last night that they had
agreed upon the man to be elected by tho
supervisors today and that he felt entirely
confident San Francisco' would have a
mayor tn fact before tonight. Pending the
acceptance of the trust by the man chosen
by the prosecutors, Langdon refused to
make his name public.

necessary by the refusal of the prosecutors'
choice to assume the responsibilities that
must be assumed by the man who accept,
the mayoralty. The new mayor will be
absolutely free. He will choose the mem
bers of the new board of supervisors and
consequently will be personally responsible
for the rehabilitated government and its
work.

ORGANIZE THEATER TRUST
Chicago Una Story Thentrlcnl Busi
ness of V.'orM la Sow Un
der Control.
CHICAGO. July 16. The Dally News says
that plans for the formation of a $li)0,of).o.)
trust ln world's theaters became known
today. The International Theater trust
will, according to report, not only control
tho best theaters ln Europe, but have
under contract the highest talent In loulti
mate and vaudeville Holds. The attempted
formation of this new theatrical undertak
ing Is expected to grow out of the recent
decision of the New York courts that thea
ters and amusomenta Hre not "trade and
commerce, and that therefore their com
bination is not a violation of law."
A. L. Krlongnr Is quoted aH saying: "I
will say that It Is truo that we are about
to make our Interests co-extenslve with
Europe and America. I ran see no reason
why a homogenely of management and
ownership will not be highly bcnellclul to
the public, the players, the producers nnd
the owners. Whether some of the prin
cipal amusement Interests of Europe and
America can be welded Into one necessarily
requires a concert of thought and aot on
on the part ot tnose wno am mo nwn
abroad and here in that line. Our counsel
sailed this morning on the Kronprlnt Wll
helm to Investigate and discuss and re
termlne legal plans. It will take some
time to work out tho proposition."
