Hill Takes Gloomr View. NEW VORK, Juno 13. T.iat the govern ment will be forced to lend Its credit to aid the railroads was the statement made by James J. Hill today. 'The public In Its exasperation," said Mr. Hill, "will demand that tha railroads lay certain rails and provide for cars. The railroads will an vkvt that they cannot; their credit has been curtailed. Tha government will be obled to step In and lend Its credit to supply this deficiency. It eventually might lend to government ownership of railroads. It would be the end of republican govern ment. The trouble Is that the business of the United States has outgrown the ca pacity of Its railroads, and the railroads oro in no position to catch up. If men can not pet their freight moved they must reiiso to produce It. It does not appear any easier for a . railroad to jet money now than It was a few months ago. Dur ing the past seven or eight months the railroads have raided something like S'O'l.OuO.OOO, Has It gone to Increase facili ties? Not at all. Most of It went to pay off old' bills."

VyCNPfTP.WER JO BE SOLDI Nikola Tesla lias Difference Over Land on Which It la ' Located. NEW YORK, June IS. Because Nikola Tssla, propounder of a theory of comnm Blcktlons with Mars, has failed to satisfy a Judgment of 81,108 .20, the mysterious tower at Wardencllffe, L. I., has been ' advertised for sale by Sheriff Wells of Suffolk county. Mr. Tesla has expended a fortune upon his electrical experimental works In Wardencllffe, whose purpose he has kept to himself. Only his closest friends were permitted to get within see ing distance of his "wonder tower," as tha huge structure of steel and cement TTaa called, and no one appear to know Misu what It was Intended for. That It ' Vrts to be used to demonstrate his theory of communicating with the Martians Is popularly believed. The Judgment la held by Dr. James W. Warden. The security Is the 800 acres owned by Tesla, upon which stands tha tower, which la sunk Into the ground a distance of 160 feet and la 150 feet In height, according to Teala'l statements tj his friends. The tower had a great mushroom top, from which there used to be blinding flashes of electricity at night some years ago. Mr. Tesla when seen at the Waldorf-Astoria last night aald the case was an old one, the Judgmont growing out of an option he had taken on the land. He said the matter would be settled. COLORADO SPRING'S, Colo., June 13. Nikola Tesla, about ten years ago erected a laboratory and tower on Nob Hill near this city for experiments til ths transmis sion of power without wires. The plant was valued at approximately $30,000. Shortly after he left this city the caretaker of the plant, a man named Duffner, sued Tesla for tli.000 salary. Subsequently the as sessor's office levied upon ths property for taxes, with the result that tho building and machinery was sold under the Judgment obtained by Duffner and the taxes were paid out of the proceods of the sate.

NORFOLK, V.. June 13.-Crosby 8. Noyes today addressed the National Edi torial association, which is In sessloit at the Jamestown exposition. The Newspapers and IlooeveIt. "Journalism since Jamestown," was the subject of an address delivered before the National Editorial association at the Jamestown exposition today by Crosby 8. Noyes, editor of the Washington Btar. Mr. Noyes compared the achievements of Captain Smith In planting and sustaining the English colony with the deeds of Presi dent Roosevelt In this generation and de clared they -were as worthy of glorification, but lacked the aid of the newspaper press that had so greatly helped tha latter In bis upward career. The newspapers, the speaker declared, have given Mr. Roosevelt their vigorous support In his reform politics, have ex ploited all his sayings and doings through the twenty-four hours of the day; glorified the man and his work and made his name a household word in every home In the land. "Mr. Roosevelt has seemed some what slow in acknowledging his Indebted ness to the press," Mr. Noyoa said, "but he will think of it some day when he Is not too busy." "The first appearance of the reporter." Mr. Noyes declared, "was when Joseph Oath of the National Intelligencer 'covered Daniel Webster's reply to Hayne." In discussing the attitude toward the press of "our rulers, state arid national," the speaker declared that they have with two or three exceptions been on friendly terms with the newspapermen. Sly Ra at the President. In discussing President Roosevelt's at titude, he said: "114 has declared himself in favor of clean, healthy newspapers with clean. i healthy criticisms which shall be fearleas ! and truthful, 'but when It comes to the Itest, It Is seen that he does not relish these ! fearless and truthful criticisms' when they are exercised at his expense. But the newspaper men have no quarrel with the president. There is some friction between them, but no rupture; and Secretary Ioeb dispenses the White House news with tact and Intelligence. "Mr. Roosevelt has no real animosity to the prees and I fancy he has no keener j enjoyment tn life than in association with (bright newspaper men, as, for Instance, at ! a gridiron dinner, when, after a busy day : superintending the affairs of the universe, I he drops In upon these entertainments and enters Into the spirit of the occasion with 'all the glee of a schoolboy Just let out for th holiday; and his laughter In th heartiest to be heard whon the gridiron boys are giving him a pretty hot roast over ome Of hi official ectentrldtte.

PALMYRA. Neb., June 18. (Special.) J. A. William, one of the members of th State Railway commission, delivered an ad dress at the old settlers' picnic her today, in which he assailed the position of Presi dent Roosevelt on the question of railroad rate regulation. He declared agalnat any BERLIN, June 13.

Roosevelt In that regard and criticised the : Many are Avounded and the hospitals are Interstate Commeroe , commission as a j crowded. The recrudescence of the violent weak.

Mepnlkoff la said t permit the national government to have i have denied that his assailants wer Jews, complete sway. Judge Williams asserted, ! n examination of his head reveals that would destroy all prospect of relief from WM not calped, but his hair was simply preaent evil. He said that the state had ! shaved off in spots. Jewish leaders nt already achieved results In railroad regula- i tlon which would never have come through federal action, and that the future welfare of the country demand a continuance of state supervision over the business of car riers within their borders. In his allusion to the Interstate Commerce commlsalm. Judge William said: This body was created about twenty year ago as a tribunal to afford relief from rail road abuses. We all know that It never accomplished anything until President Roosevelt stirred It into action and the states began to exercise their powers, thus setting the pace for It to follow. In all that has been done within the last few year to place the transportation under sue- ceaarui regulation, the states have led and the Interstate Commeroe commission ha public opinion behind It, the Interstate ' board seems entirely lacking In the vigor namdSylpr:,j!yqnTwt.,0a,ha,r,wrr, it" be'wVn these supporting Influence are withdrawn?

WITNESS NEARLY BREAKS DOWN He Weeps When Tale of David and Uriah is Recited. RECOVERS HIMSELF QUICKLY Defend Motive by Sarin- that Ho Wants to Make Reparation by Telllna the Whole Truth. BOISE. Idaho, June 13. -The men who are battling to save the life of William D. Haywood and the rood name of th Western Federation of Miners mado their ureateet assault upon Harry Orchard today when, carrying the review by cross-examination of his life of crime down to hi confession, they bitterly assailed his guid ing motives. Six days they spent In strip ping him before the Jury of every shred of morality of rltaracter, and then, suddenly turning upon him In a final fierce, attack, they fought with every means known to le gal craft to convince the Jury that Orchard was committing a crime In falsely awear lug away the live of Innocent men In tha I hope of saving his own. They carried their attack to tho very language with which the witness answered their questions, and everywhere they alleged by forceful Im plication that it wa put Into hi mouth by men controlling him. Witness Shed Tear. The series of quickly delivered attack give to the trial amid the scenes centering around the high witness chair In Judge Wood's court a depth of dramatic Intensity, a compelling human Interest that gripped and held every man and woman who watched and listened. Orchard failed when they recited to him the tale of David and Uriah that Detective McPartland related to him when he came seeking a confession. He fought to save himself, but tear, filled his eyes and he rocked unevenly like a fainting woman. His voice lowered to husklncss, and h. hid hi. face In a hand kerchief. Then he steadied himself and went on strongly to the end. He defended his motive, by saying that he had finally experienced conversion and penitence and had resolved to make all possible reparation by freely confessing all. McPartland had told him that he was doing a great service for the state and that states wer kind to men who served them. There wa no other promise. x "You knew that if you confessed to th Bteunenberg murder th state would put you out of th way," hammered Attorney Richardson. ' - ; "Ye, sir." ' ...... . i "And would do ft quickly V "X believed they would put m out of the way." "But somewhere along th line tho thought came to you that you oeuld get out of it by laying It onto somebody elneT" "No, sir; that wa not tha thought at all." - Orchard Explain Motive). And here It wa that Orchard gave a remarkable explanation of the motives that Impelled him to confess. Ills voice fell to a low tone, but there wa. no other show of emotion. Complete alienee gave every word to the entire room. The whizs of an electric fan overhead was th olo accompaniment of the recitation. "I thought," he said, "of putting my self out of the way, but I thought over my personal life. I did not bellev tn a hereafter at all, but I was afraid to die, and I thought at time, that I had been uch an unnatural monster my crime, had been so great that I would not be forgiven" "Who told you thatf" "No one." "Who wrote that out for youV "No one, but after I had been Bent a r.lble and had read It some I came to tha conclusion that I would be forgiven If I made confession of everything. I began to think that the grave did not end every thing, and I made up my mind to tell th. truth about the whole thing." "So you thought you would make your peace with the future by having some body else hung, did you?" asked Mr. Richardson. "No, sir. I think any man can make his peace with th future If h want to. I believed it wa my duty to ten tha truth. I did not see any other way, re gardless of the consequence to myself or anybody else. I owed It to octety, I owed It to God and to myelf." The defense suggested that If Orchard did not get the reference to hi duty to society, God and himself directly from Mc- "u""la w "m " Promise of Immunity Alleged. For hours the defenre hammered away on the mr.tlve of savins his own Ufa. They sought to show It In the force of example drawn from the Immunity of the Inform ers tn the Mollle McUuIre rases, but this the witness would not admit. Next they sought for It In Orchard's effort to bring Steve Adnms to the stale and then In the subsequent meetlncs with McPartland and other prisoner ver had In the world, and all this consideration implying directly that he would never be hanged for killing BteunenU-rg.
