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

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.

Noyes today addressed the National Edi

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. '
"After all .Theodore- Roosevelt Is a good
deal of a boy yet, as well as a most master
ful president."
WILLIAMS FOR STATE CONTROL
Member of Nebraska Railway Cam
mlsaloa Take Issue with
President.
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. Private dispatches

Roosevelt In that regard and criticised the : Many are Avounded and the hospitals are

of railroad and not responsive to nor, General Glagolow, who officially de

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

First cavalry, who was court-martialed at
Fort Iogan on May 14, was found guilty
of "conduct prejudicial to good order and

The conduct prejudicial to good order
and military discipline of which he was
found guilty consisted of failure to answer
official communications and failure to
make required report to the War depart

Attack on Orchard's Story.
NEW
MOTIYE IS ALLEGED
He is Accused of Swearing- Falsely to
Save His Life.
WITNESS NEARLY BREAKS DOWN
He Weeps When Tale of David and
Uriah is Recited.
RECOVERS HIMSELF QUICKLY

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. Then came a showing a to
how tha prisoner had been dressed and
tTvoined for th trial, and lastly, for '
