Toutsey today for the first time told on tho witness stand hit story of Governor Gos pel's murder. He named James Howard, the defendant, aa the man who fired the shot. He said he saw Howard for the first time few minutes before the shooting, though he bad written to him at Governor Taylor'a dictation aeveral days before. He took Howard into Caleb Power'a office, which bad been especially arranged for the shooting, and showed him the Marlin rifle, the bullets and the window from which the murder was to be done. He says Howard asked what he was to get for the abootlng. "what do you wantT" replied witness when Howard said he wanted a pardon for killing George Baker. "I told him he could have that and more. too," said Youtaey. "About that time," he continued, "Ooebel came out and I pointed him out to Howard and then ran from the room. As I disap peared from the steps to the basement I heard the crack of Howard's rifle." After the shooting he passed through the state house basement and sf few minutes later came back Into the executive building from the east entrance. "I stayed In the office ot Assistant Secre tary ot State Matthews," said he, "tor . a few moments and' saw Matthews break open Caleb Powers' office and find the guna that had been left there." At that time he was private secretary to Auditor Sweeney, but while hia political status waa -not definitely fixed it .was un derstood he was to have a good place under Taylor. ' "Governor Taylor," said Youtaey, directed everything we did. We regarded him as our leader, and we were morally re sponsible for all we did. We knew we had the' governor and the pardoning board be hind us, and we were not afraid of punish ment for killing Ooebel." During 'Youtsey's testimony Howard sat with his eyes riveted on the witness. His wife sat behind him. Howard did not change expression. On cross-examination Youtaey said even after he was arrested and sent to the peni tentiary he still had hope of gaining his liberty. He thought Yerkes waa defeated however, and about a yeaf ago he decided to tell his story to Prison Physician Tobin.. As ari additional Incentive for him to tell the story, he claimed Taylor, Powers and others had used him as a cat's paw and scapegoat and (hen deserted him when j be got into trouble. He aald the only man who ever talked to him about any kind of reward was James A. Scott, now counsel for Howard. i "This waa just before I was arrested," said he, "and Scott told me it I would tell enough to bring about seven convictions he J would get me,$35,000." He admitted Having sent for Governor Beckham and asking his advice. The gov ernor told him he should tell everything, but that he waa offered no inducement. In cross-examination Youtsey admitted that jte . and Johnson had planned to kill Goebfl and that Johnson was to do the shooting. . W... J.. Davidson, then, superin tendent of public Instruction, offered to al low Johnson the use of his' office .for the purpose. Witness, however, did not approve ef Johnson's plans and discarded him. ,.

President Gotnpers of the American Federation of Labor today Issued a statement in reply to Mr. Parry'a report to the Manufacturers' association. If nays: If there waa any doubt that Mr. Parry had taken leave of his reason, the report, or rather harangue, which he made to his convention demonstrates .it beyond- any doubt. If the manufacturers endorse Mr. Parry'a unjustified and malicious opposition to the workers' efforts to secure material and moral Improvement they simply write themselves down to his low level and stand committed with him for all the injury which must follow from his - rabid utter ances, his venomous, and Igrtorant antagon ism, which must provoke only resentment and retaliation. Organised labor Is the result of our in dustrial development and environment. It proposes to seure a larger share of the pro duction of wealth. It seeks to secure these objocts by peaceful and lawful methods. It alms to establish- more rightful relations between man and man. Organised labor seeks no such "conflict as Mr. Parry -would promote, but neither will It run away from one. - We desire Industrial and social peace and are making for It, Mr. Parry and those who act with him to the contrary notwithstanding. We shall be enabled soon to discern to what extent the manufacturers ot the I nltea mates are in accord with mm. At this writing we are confident that he rep resents but an'lnnnltesmal part of tbe American employers. Organized labor faces the future, oonnnent ana self-reliant and hurls back Into the teeth of Mr. Parry his foul vituperation and abuse. Organised la bor Is constantly striving for the attainment of a better ana, Dinner me, the fulfillment of its mlaslon for the brotherhood of mun.

Merrlam, formerly governor of Minnesota, and until recently census commissioner, waa the principal speaker before the St. Paul Credit Men's association banquet to. night. . After speaking briefly of the unprece dented prosperity and the great Industrial combinations, he aald: I cannot help concluding that the con centration In a few hands of so large a number of Industrial concerns mun have n effect like ballast on a ship it must steady the situation. This to emphasised by the fact that certain Industries like the iron and ateel Industry, controlled by a comparatively few men. owning the raw inmeriHi ana the transportation laciutiea and producing ine manufactured article, must b in a better nl tun tlon to restrict the output and ndjust sut ply to demand than when tht- rcii.Htiiieiit companies competed with each other fur tutiness.

No corporation doing business in the states can destroy Its rival by a dis astrous cut In prices or rHle prict-e tor products to the point of oppression. Hence, the courts, while recognizing the right of corporations to transact their legitimate business, declares that whenever they prove a public menace thev become ene mies to the commonwealth, rtlxobedfent to the law and are liable to be destroyed.
