July 1 At the adjourn ment of tha Steunenberg trial today the prosecution served notice of Its Intention to submit series of motions to atrlke' out evidence of the defense unless the connect-ing-up testimony that, has been promised Is forthcoming. Clarenos Darrow, for the de fense, had previously announced that his Ida might be able to rest by Saturday evening, although It might be necessary to let the calling of Haywood and Moyer go over until Monday, and following an Infor mal conference with counsel. Judge Wood directed the prosecution to be ready on Monday with Its case In rebuttal. v James H. Hawley, senior counsel for the state, said In reply that It was the inten tion of himself and his assistants to pre sent a series of motions dealing with the evidence presented by the defense. Messrs. Darrow and Richardson were on their feet Instantly to say together that the defense also would have some motions to make, so that the end of this week or the early part of next, the taking of testimony will prob ably be Interrupted for an extended argu ment on the admissibility of a mass of evi dence already In the record. More Attacks on Orchard. The defense operated today along nearly all of Its lines. There were attacks on Orchard's testimony at several points; there was a showing that union miners had been abused by the mine owners and mllltla at Cripple Creek and Tellurlde; there was a showing that Pinkerton agents had advised violence and endeavored to prolong a strike; a woman who served with the re lief committee that looked after the fam ilies of the deported mines at Cripple Creek swore that she had been twice arrested and twice warned that If she persisted In her work she would be deported, and another woman located Orchard with Detectives Scott and Sterling the night o fthe second attempt to wreck tha Florence and Cripple Creek railway train. Two of the witnesses were men who fig ured conspicuously In the- testimony of Orchard. They were David Coatee, former lieutenant governor of Colorado, and Pat Moral., formerly a saloonkeeper of Chey . enne. Coatea positively denied Orchard's Version of the plot -to" kidnap the children of August Paulson, and Moran denied that he made a trip from Cheyenne to Denver after the Independence station was blown up to rthe purpose of (retting $000 from George A. Pettlbone for Orchard. Pettlbone rashes Check. Francis C. Clifford, a life insurance solicitor of Sterling, Colo., was the first witness called at tha Haywood trial this morning. As for several days past, there were many vacant benches In the court room when the morning seaaton of the Haywood trial opened. It was announced that Juror No. 7 IL F. MaasAcar had been quite ill during the night." Judge Wood asked Mr. Massecar If he felt able to proeed today. Upon re ceiving an affirmative reply the court In formed the Juror that if at any time he felt it necessary the trial would be inter rupted until he was In better phyalcal condition. , The prosecution asked the court to Issue an order directing W. F. Davis, one of the leading witnesses for the defense, to re , main within the Jurisdiction, as he would be wanted again. Tha order was issued. Francis C. Clifford, a life Insurance so licitor of Sterling Colo., was the first wit ness of the day. Clifford said he moved from Scranton. Pa., to Denver In April. 19. He rented desk room in George A. Pettlbone's store In Denver, holding It from April until November, WuS. The wit ness met Orchard under the name of Thomas H often, Pettlbone making the In troduction. Orchard came around the store Just ns dosens of others did. according to the witness, who described the store as one big room. There was also an undivided cellar beneath. Was Making; Mack Money. "Orchard told me one day that he was making lots of money selling hall Insur ance." declared Clifford. "He then turned to Pettlbone and asked him to rash a ' check. Pet U bone looked at the check and said he did not have enough money. He offered to give Orchard aa much as he had. Orchard said he would take what Pettl bone had and get the balance later. "The next time I saw Orchard he told me. he was going to Alaake. This was in June. 18." Clifford said be never saw a light In Pet tlbone's cellar at night, but once in Oc tober, 1906. On oross-examtnation the witness satd he heard la June. UW6, (hat Hogan's real name was Orchard. Pettlbone did not tell him. Hs asked Pettlbone about the mat ter, however, and the latter said he be lieved Hogan's right name was Orchard. As to the check. Clifford said he did not e who It was from or the amount of it. AaWlee of Pinkerton Men. Joseph C Barnes, living near Montrose, Colo., was the next witness. He said that hs and George W. Riddel!. Flnkerton oper ative SJo. If, were chums and fellow mem bers of the union at Tellurlde. Barnes declared that Rlddell was constantly sug gesting violence. He proposed to roll two kegs of dyuaiulte down a hill Into the Liberty Bell mill; he advised the miners to "punch" any of the deputlea or "bad men" who looked cross; told them to burn the town of Tellurlde, to beat up any men who started to work and run them out of town. Barnea was a most loqua cious witness and constantly called out waves of laughter by his ready and lengthy replies. After being deported from Tellurlde Barnea told of going back to the town In a barrel. The militia discovered him but he escaped by climbing a tree. He saw Orchard and Rlddell together once In Tellu rlde. Cross-examined by Senator Borah. Barnes said he had never engaged la any criminal act with Riddelt "Did yoa ever contemplate a crime?"

MAC LEAN HELDAS HOSTAGE Ralsall Makes Prisoner ot General of Saltan's Rodyarnarn and Die tateo Terms. TANGIER8, July 1 Kald 'General Sir Harry MacLean, commander of the sultan's bodyguard, has been made a prisoner by Ralsult, the bandit chief, and will be held as a hostage by the latter until 'the sultan agrees to pardon Ralsult on his own terms. General MacLean was negotlstlng with Ralsull regarding the latter' pardon when he was made prisoner. General MacLean was a former officer of the British army and Is a descendant of an old Scotch family. PARIS, July S. Advices received here from Morocco say that Ralsull not only an nounces that he will make Ms own condi tions for his pardon, but demands the pay ment of a random before he will set Gen eral MacLean at liberty. The last exploit of Ralsull In capturing Kald General Sir Harry MacLean brings the noted bandit to public atentlon after, a period of comparative retirement. Mac Lean Is probably the most Influential man In Morocco, being the Bngllnh adviser who organized the sultan's army and civil ad ministration and who stands next to the sultan himself In the practical conduct of Moroccan affairs. His capture, therefore. Is even more of an achievement for Ralsult than his former captures of Perdlearls snd Harris, the latter the London Times corre spondent. If Raisull's capture of MacLean proves correct the bandit has an unusually rich prise with which to negotiate with the sultan, and possibly with England, to whom MacLean still holds allegiance, and with France and Spain, who are Jointly Charged with the International policing of Morocco. HAGUE DELEGATES DIVIDED Much Opposition to American Propo sition of -Inviolability of Pri vate Property. THE HAGUE. July 1 The opposition to the American proposition before the peace conference on the Inviolability of private property at sea Is Increasing. It now seems that Russia and France are not even in favor of the Italian amendment suggesting that belligerents be allowed to have the property captured at sea, but that such property be returned after the war and that the owners be paid an indemnity for the damage. t Japan Is preparing a proposition regard ing the use of wireless telegraphy based on Its experience during tire Russo-Japanese war, while other powers are desirous of proposing that submarine cables be classed as neutral property. . .. , The Japanese have not presented any proposition regarding the bombardment of towns, but have asked tha Americans, who In their propositioji desire to prohibit the bombardment of towns for not paying ran soms, to propose the abolition of the pay ment of ransoms in order to escape bom bardment. Miss Anna Eckstein has requested an audience of President Nelldoff In order to present a petition, signed ty over S.000,000 Americans, In favor of a general arbitra tion treaty.' M.

TOKIO, July t The expected outburst of Indignation in view of the latest develop ment in the anti-Japanese movement in San Francisco hss not yet appeared on the surface. The press Is remarkably silent so far. In the course of conversation with men In high circles who are well informed on the present situation they ekpress them selves as being apprehensive that the un restrained sway of Indignation over the dis crimination against Japanese In America might fall Into the hands of a third power which Is always aiming to arrest Japan's progress. While advocating firm measures to remove the cause of grievances of com patriots victimized in the anti-Japanese movement, prudent handling of the situa tion is recommended .lest Japan be placed in the position of picking chestnuts out of the fire for a third party. Who this third power is may not be difficult to guess, but in the course of conversation the name is carefully avoided.

July a Alleging that the Great Northern roads refused to load car. on the O'Nell-Slouz City line for Omaha and South Omaha, the Omaha Grain ex change filed, a complatnt with the railway commission todsy, charging that the prac tice discriminates against the Omaha ex change and in favor of Sioux City, St. Paul and Minneapolis. The Grain exchange wants the traffic sent via the Great North ern and Burlington roads, transferring at South Sioux City. The commission will set a date for a hearing. i Local grain men say that although the Great Northern has a published through tariff to Omaha from points between O'Neill and Sioux City, it will not allow Its cars to be loaded for points off Its line. The result is a nullification of the tariff a. far as Omsha Is concerned. The Great North ern does not refuse to ship gram to Omaha tn Burlington cars, but Burlington car. cannot be obtained. The new state law says plainly thst rail roads shall establish Joint rates and re ceive and transport freight and cars over routes selected by the shipper. It also provides that transfers shall be made with out unloading from the cars tn which ths shipment, were originally made. It Is on these provisions the Omaha Grain exchange bases Its complaint.

Later they renewed options for $57,600, and then, according to the evidence in the case. Induced their friends to enter Into a deal to purchase tho property for $70,000. The complainants In the case were all personal friends, neigh bors and fellow club members of Lord and McWllllams and tho suit has caused much bitter feeling among them.
