BOISS, Idaho. 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

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

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.

GRAIN EXCHANGE COMPLAINS
Omaha Ilaa Grievance About Loadlngr
Cars on Great Northern
Rood.
UNCOLN. 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.

WESDS0B TEUST COMPANY VICTIM
Directors of New York Concern Have

Detectives.
NEW YORK, July I Detectives through
out the United States are searching for
Chester B. Runyan, paying teller ot the
Windsor-Trust company, who, the directors
allege, Is missing with $96,315 In cash. The
case is being handled by private detectives.
George W. Young, a director ot the trust
company, confirms the reports of the de
falcation, which the detectives say is one
of the most remarkable ever reported. Run
yan Is accused of having placed 696,317 In
currency in a suit case last Saturday and
departed, after shaking hands with his as
sociates. Runyan, It is said, did not even
go to his apartment to bid goodby to h'.s
wife, to whom he had been married for
five years. Runyan Is ssld to have taken
all the cash available In the bank lost Sat
urday. The directors, It Is stated, have
made up alt the loss of the defalcation.
Runyan was a man of exemplary habits
so far as known, and his conduct was such
as not to arouse any suspicion. When the
auditors went over his accounts on May 1
they were found to be all right.

Daniel M. Lord, former vice president of
the Metropolitan Trust and Savings bank
of this city, and D. W. Kimball, a pro
moter, were today declared by Judge Mack
to be guilty of misappropriating $12,600 be
longing to their personal friends. The
finding of the court was tn a suit brought
by friends of McWIlllama and Lord to set
aside the transaction In which they In
vested $70,0CO In Indiana oil lands.
Before the complainant becamo interested
in the land McWllllams and Lord had tried
without success to sell It for $52,600 and
had represented to the complainants that it
waa worth $70,000. 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.
Judge Mack, in deciding the case, said:
' "The" defendants In this case were led
by their destre for money to forget the
obligations of friendship and even to travel
beyond the permissible in law."

Omaha will celebrate the Fourth of July
In as many different wsy. and In a. many
different places a. human Ingenuity can
conceive and rapid transit permit.
For those who desire a "genuine" cele
bration of the Fourth, such as marked
the natal day In the early history of the
state, Florence offers the opportunity this
year. From early morning until late at
night there will be "something doing" In
the northern suburb. There will be speeche.
In the morning, basket dinner at noon, fire
works at night and firecrackers all day.
Many. Omaha people Wilt take advantage
of the long street car ride and Spend the
day In the old Mormon town.
Many quiet family parties have been
formed for picnic, at the city parks. The
larger number have, a. usual in recent
years, selected the native Wood, of River
view for the scene of their annual plcnio,
while other, will meet at Hanscom park,
Elmwood park, which la Just being "dis
covered" by picnicking Omaha, will also
have many visitor, who will spend the day '
In the woods.
Lake Munawa'a management ha. pre
pared a program suitable for the day and
a record breaking crowd Is expected at
that pleasant resort.
The Omaha Rod and Gun club will keep
open house for members and a number will
spend the ay with rod and Una on the

Fl'I.L SPORT PROGRAM FOl DAT

Matchea nnd Otner Contests.
The Fourth wilt be a great day for
sports In Omaha. Every lot and ball parlt
will have Its ball game and tho seats will
be well filled with the followers of the
great national game. Amateur snd semi
professional managers are short-sighted
enough to think this is cutting In on their
business. The opposite Is true, for every
time you edurato a youth to be a fan
you have Just one mors man to call upon
when the league race is good and when
the spring fever seizes the fan.

for JTast 1 Omaha In -tle afternoon ef the
Fourth between Dink- rylanVFlghtln;

mediocre affair, but will be strictly high

tion from the sports. Hyland he an en
viable record In the padded ring and 'tl.
snld he will have a worthy opponent In

arena to be erected In East Omaha, within
two or three blocks of the car line, and a
great turnout is expected to this event,
which Is touted a. being the best ever
pulled oft In the vicinity of Omaha.
The golfers will also be busy. The main
event In folflng circles will be between
twenty-five picked men from the Country
club and twenty-five man from the Field
club, the match to be played bn the Field
club links. , The Country club player,
were tho winners at the last Interclub
match, which was played this spring on
the Country club 1pks. with ten players
on a side. The Field club boys think they
will havo a better chance to win this time
because of tho Increased number of play
ers and because they are on, their own
grounds.
The lakes will also call forth all the
sailors and prospective sailors, besides all
the common pikers who simply like to row.
Several sailing races have been planned
for Cut-Off lake and In the evening thers

BILK'S NOVELTY IB A COSTLY ONSI
Dealer Fined In Police Conrt After a
Practical Test.
A terrific explosion in the police station
Wednesday morning might have lead a
passerby to believe anarchists and jail
deliverers were at work, but It wa. only
Captain Dunn producing graphic evldenoe
for the conviction of J. F. Till, on tha
charge of soiling Illegal firecrackers. Mr.
Bill, who was arrested at his Sixteenth
street store by Sergeant Slgwart, asserted
that the Innocent looking green cylinder
which wa. produced in court wa. only
a novelty and not a firecracker. It ex
ceeded the legal dimensions, a. It had
diameter of an Inch and a half, but Mr.
BU. .aid It wa. only a "What Happened
to Hooligan," a very harmless novelty.
"We'll try it," said Judge Crawford and
Captain Dunn was sent to set It off In
Clerk Mahoney'. office, which adjoin, the
court room. It wa. set on end In a chair
and the match applied, while the court
and the officers waited with bated breath.
Llks ths crack of doom' came the report.
The bottom of tbe chair was splintered
Into bits and ths room was Uttered with
torn paper. "Twenty-five dollars and costs."
gasped the judge before the smoke had
cleared away and several prisoners on the
floor below were persuaded with difficulty
that they were Dot, mortally wounded.
The case was-appealed to the, district
court. , ,
