FOLK REPLIESJO BREWER Adds to Objections Against Interfer ence by Federal Court Injunction. Jefferson City, Mo., July 21. Gov ernor Folk added to the objections ho has made to tho power of a federal court to hold up the action of a state law until it has been found valid, in a jeply to the Milwaukee speech of Jus tice Brewer of tho United States su premo court, In which Justice Brewer criticised Missouri's executive for his discontent with tho uctlons of federal courts. "The distinguished Justice, Judge Brewer, of the United States supreme court, whom I esteem most highly, in an address at Milwaukee recently took me to task for objecting to the prac tlco of the federal courts of arbitra rily suspending state statutes until their validity can be passed upon," said Governor Folk. "Ho says: 'But cuppose through such railroad laws as Missouri passed the railroads actu ally lose money in carrying passen gers, will the state make good tho losbos to them?' 1 will answer: Sup pose the federal court, after many ears of litigation, finds the rates rea- i fcouablc and tho laws valid, will tho ' railroads make the loss good to tho I people of Mlnsouri? "We are not considering the ques tion as whether a federal court can de clare a s'ate statute unconstitutional. If It does that, Its right to do so has i been (Irmly established, but 1 question ' the right of a tederal court to enjoin , a state from enforcing Its criminal statutes until that court declares them good and I insist that a state has the right to enforce Its laws until tho court snyi those laws are bad." JAP EMBARGO ON COAL Steamers Supplied With Only Suf ficient Quantity for Voyage. Vancouver, B. C. July 24.

This is said to he the reason why the Canadian Puclfte railroad, which had several special shiploads of coal ordered during the Canadian coal strlko, received but one. It Is also stated on tho best authority that tho government has been Inquiring for largo shipments of Australian and Welsh coal, the latter designed for conlmr stations remote from Japan l jirobubly hi the vlcinjty of. the SOMETHING, FELLOWS?

ORCHARD IN THEIR EMPLOY Attorney for Defense Charges Detec tice Agency With Systematic Plot to Hang Moyer, Haywood and Petti bone Witness McGcc Discharged. Boise, Ida., July 24. Forsaking the theory ol vengeance ns Orchard's mo tive for the murder of lormer Gover nor Stiunenherg, E. F. Richardson ur gucd that Orchard was In the employ of the Plnkerton Detective agency when ho killed Steunonberg, and that tho murder was a part of a conspiracy to hang Haywood. Tnis sudden de parture was lollowed by a tremendous denunciation of Captain James Mc Parland and the PInkertons and pas sionate vituperation of Orchard. Gov ernor Gooding of Idaho, Senator Bo rah Governor Peabody of Colorado, and, in tact, all who have acted on the side of tho prosecution of Haywood, came In for a share of the avalanche of Richardson's peroration. Richardson denounced and charged tho Plnkerton Detective agency with a systematic plot to secure the convic tion of Moyer, Haywood and Petti bone as a means to the desired exter- , initiation of tho Western Federation of .Miners. Continuing his scathing denuncia tion of Orchard, dropping the subject lor a time to branch out upon some other line of argument, but returning ever to a new attack upon the con- fesslng witness, Richardson declared that none but this accused criminal I had been brought to court to defame , the name of Haywood1 a man who hod always led an exemplary life, and . had always been an exemplary citizen, proud of his family, proud of his name, caring ever for the invalid wife . who sat at his side during the trial. Concluding his address, Mr. Rich ardson said he left the case with all confidence In the hands of the jury for such determination as It saw lit. Mr. Richardson was held in the court room for some time after ad journment accepting tho congratula tions of his friends and others of the big audience. It is expected that Clarence Darrow will require two days to close for the defense. Dr. I. L. McGee, the witness for the defense, who was arrested on the charge of perjury, was discharged from custody by the magistrate before whom tho preliminary hearing was held. The justice ruled that the evi dence brought by tho prosecution was insufficient to warrant him in holding McGee. Orchard was on the stand a;;ain as a witness in tho McGee case.
