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. Accord
ing to British naval olllcors who ar
rived from the Orient on tho Empress
of China, the Japanese government
has placed a positive embargo on the
export of coal from Japnu.
Operators have been instructed to
load no coal for export and steamers
are supplied with only sufllclent quan
tity to complete the return voyage to
Japan. 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

PLOT TO BLACKMAIL ALLEGED
Armenian Tells of Conspiracy of For
eign Revolutionists.
Chicago, July 24. Chicago is the
headquarters of the secret organiza
tion which was responsible for tho
death of Hovhanes S. Tavshanjlan,
the wealthy Armenian rug man ot
Now York, according to Joe Bjlsh
klam, a prominent countryman of tho
dead merchant Bjlshkiam said that
a Chicago Armenian was tho leader
and directed the work of the society.
Tho Chicago society Is an offshoot
of the original Hunchaklst, which was
formed in London In 1887 for the
purpose of carrying out the Ideas of
tho revolutionists of Armcnln. Bjlsh
kiam declares tho seceders formed the
new Hunchaklst for the purpose ot
blackmailing.
Speaking of the recent murder In
New York, Bjlshkiam said: "All ol
the plans of the organization are made
by tho Chicago leader, and In his
house can be found the records and
secret (lies of tho society. It takes
money to run the society and the men
who dominate this organization are
not a bit particular how thoy secure it."

coal lauds In Monarch, Wyo. The evi

RICHARDSON SPRINGS NEW THE
ORY IN HAYWOOD CASE.
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.
