trouble and excitement.
The only fireworks which are forbidden
are the dynamite fire crackers which ex

In diameter', and blank cartridges used in
revolvers. The dynamite canes which were
forbidden one year may be used. They
are eonslderod lees dangerous than the re
volvers, because even though some of them
may be used with blank shells there Is
no temptation to substitute loaded cart
ridges for the blanks.

In the fiscal year Just closed the railroads
of the United Btetes have broken all rec
ords so far Ss volume tf business goe
There has been an enormous Increase In
gross receipts. Nevertheless the year will
go down In railroad history marked b.
a more enormous Increase In operating ex
penses and by a moderaie Increase in net
earnings.'
On the basis of the earnings of eighty
nine leading railroads reported to Do,
Jones Co., for ten months of the fiscal
year, and of such roads as have reported
for eleven months, Dow, Jones c Co. esti
mate: 1. That the rallrosrls of the United Stales
have earned 12.578.413.273 rross In the fiscal
year, an Increase of t26S,663.2, or 11.11 per
cent over the . previous year, comparing
with an Increase of 1237,277,684, or U.4 per
cent In 108 over 1905.
2. That the net earnlnss of the railroads
In the late jeer will amount to IMl.4eS.Bfl0,
an Increase of 3.8"n,ee, or 6.84 per cent
over the net earnings of the previous flpral
year, compnrlns; with an Increase of $96,
829.141, or 13.1 per cent In 1906 over 1IXS.
1. That the wages paid to railroad cim
ployea In the fiscal year now closed will
exceed $i.02.nm),no. an Increase of more
than $10o,o.o,ooo In the year.
aggeatlve Estimates.
These fl cures are largely estimates, bet
ther are baaed on the ' actual results of
the greater part of the railroad systems, In
the United States for ten months; the work
of a number of them for the months ef
May and June; and a fair consideration
of business conditions prevailing at' the
close of the year. The chances are that
both net and gross earnings will be some
what larger than those here recorded.

The Flerares Speak.
'The startling fact is that although the
railroads Increased their net earnings in the
1905-1 years $96,113,1)00, on an Increase, la
gross receipts of $237,277,000, yet , In the
year just closed on an estimated, gross in
crease of $258,6X3,000 they will be able to in
crease their net earnings, only $63,171,000.
c These figures speak fon themselves. Xhey
demonstrate ' beyond equivocation that the
plaints of railroad managers have not beea
without Just cause.
Had ths railroads of the United States in
the last fiscal year operated as economically
as, and according to the standard of 106;

plug earnings this year-would 6 fOOOiOSO
greater than is the ease. - a .
But the year 1906 was an exceptional yktsr.
The railroads of the country operated more
economically than ' they ever did before.
That they were able to save for nat 60 per
cent of their gross Increase was remark
able. Nevertheless, figuring very conserv
atively they should have been able this
year, had normal conditions ruled, to have
saved. 33 per cent of gross receipts for., net
earnings. In that case the net earnings this
year would have increased $86,000,000. The
surplus earnings would be nearly $33,000,000
greater than is the Case.
There" is abbut $4,500,000,000 net of railroad
atOck outatandln. ThorBfnr thla tflD fitn rwvt
which has gons somewhere, would have I
paid per cent on all the stock of all the
railroads In the hands of ths public.
The H
The causes for this situation are: ',.
tl) A lack of facilities with which to
handle the bustuess which his been of
fered; and, .
(1) An increase In the wages of labor and
(he costs of materials.
The lack of facilities Is the primary cause.
Much has been heard andsald of the bur
dens of Increases in the wages pf labor and
prices of materials. It Is a secondary cause.
In the year 1904 It Is estimated that rail
road employes received 41.40 per cent of
gross receipts, and In the year 3906 40.14
per cent of gross receipts. In the year 1901
when there was an enormous Increase in
gross receipts employes probably received
not more than 89.1 per cent of gross re
ceipts. In the year Just closed, under
normal conditions, it is doubtful If railroad
labor would have received more than M
per cent of gross receipts. It Is Indisput
able that aa gross earnings expand the
tendency of the ratio of railroad wages to
gross receipts Is steadily downward. Tha
volume of service performed by each man
expands as the business expands. This is
a situation which makes it possible and
sometimes desirable for railroads
to
In-
crease the wages of railroad labor.
Nevertheless, tbe wage situation has had
a far rsachlng influence on the results of
railroad operations In the last twelve
months. It Is not so much In dollars and
cents actually paid to the railroad em
ployes. Many railroad managers freely
say that the greater prosperity of railroad
employes in the last twelve months has
created a demoralisation which lias woe
fully interfered with economical operation.
Worse still it has been openly hinted in
the best Informed railroad circles that not
Infrequently drawbars and other things
have been peculiarly slipped nut, thereby
putting trains, and whole train crews on
sldetraoka for hours and hours drawing
overtime, te eay nothing of damage to
property.
The Primary Caase.
Unquestionably ths wsge situation -and
tbe high cost ot materials has been a most
Important factor and in some Instance ths
most important factor, but on the whole
the - primary cause of . the enormous In-

crease in operating expenses will be found
te be owing to a lsek. of cars,' track facili
ties and. terminals on tne one hand, and
on the other hand, , to the . Itinerant . per
sistency wltfc which many ronstgneea hold
the cari of the' railroads tot days, Weeks
and months,- all of which haa reduced the
speed of freight oar awvement to the low
est point and has ..produced a congestion
that has not been paralleled In the history
of American raflroed. -.--.
In two short year -the railroads of the
United States 'have -increased their gross
receipts nearly Hno,S.floO. They have In
creased the volume el their business even
more than Uieae figures show because the
tendency of ton mile -rates has been down
ward. It la an Increase In two short years
which exceeds the entire gross earnings Ot
the 81.000 miles ef railroad In the United
States thirty years ago. It Is an Increase
which would take nearly ten Great North
ern railroads handling B0.CO, OOO.OOO ton miles
of freight a year to' handle! It Is an In
crease ' that would tax the energies of a
giant Pennsylvania, system- working for
two years!
This has been the main trouble .with the
railroads. This Is the sltustlon which
caused so great an investor in railroad
securities as William Rockefeller to say

David C Coates, former lieutenant 'gov
ernor of Colorado, formerly a newspaper
man of Wallace, Idaho, was tbe first wit
ness at ths aftsrnoon session. Mr. Coates
Is tbe man Orchard said suggested the kid.
naplng of one of Paulson's children in Wal
lace. Paulson was -a former partner of
Orchard lu the Hercules mine.
Examined by Attorney Parrow, Coates
said he ha dbeen a -newspaper man prac
tically all of hie lite. He has set type,
reported and published his own paper. He
once belonged to the International Typo
graphical union, but was never In any way
connected with the Western Federation of
Miners. Ths witness was lieutenant gov
ernor of Colorado under Governor Jamee B.
Orman. He knew Haywood. Moyer and
Pettibone In Denver, and met Orchard un
der the' name of Thomas Hogsn in Petti
bone's Store, the da the witness was leav
ing to make hs home in Wallace.
"The next time I 'saw Orchard was six
weeks after I arrived in Wallace. Ha met
me at tbe bank and said ha had come up
to see some ot his old friends. Two or
three days later he came to my oflloe and
began to talk about looking for some easy
money, lis said he thought he might get
some by stealing some' of Paulson's chil
dren. J don't know that I mads any reply
to him at all, for I didn't think he could
be in earnest.
"Some days later Orchard came in again.
He said hs had been up to Paulson's house
to dinner and had payed with the children.
He again apoke or Kidnaping one of them
and wanted to know If hs could have the
money left " with me. I said to him,
Orchard.. you are a. fool and I would be
a blffer fool to go in with you In any such
crime, ir you try to do anythlpg like that
around here I'll denounce you.'. He ssld.
'Olt. you needn't get so sxolted about Ml.'
and went out. I thought at first be was
serious, but the way he laughed and told
ms not to get excited made me think that
perhaps he wasn't -after aU." . .
"Did you ever aurest te Orchard In Den
ver er anywhere els the kidnaping of one
ef Paulan s children or any other child!"
asked Mr. Darrow.
"No, sir. I did not." " ' "
Coates said hs saw Orchard several times
before the man left Wallace ia tbe fall of
lens. Orchard told hire that the more. he
saw of his eld friends and- partners the
snore bitter ' he became over , havt fcad
to leave tbe district. He said he would "get
even" with fiteunenberg. , I told him .that
the eld feeling of 1906 had about died put
and he ought pot to think about it; that
there were plenty of opportuntles In the
Cfceur- D'Alenes. - - 1
Wttneas next told of Orchard having bor
rowed $310 from .Paulsen before leaving
Wallace.
f On cross-examination by Senator Borah
witness said he first met Pettibone, Moyer
and Haywood some time prior to his nom
ination as lieutenant governor. -They had
been ctoee friends for a long tlm. He was
at one time president of tlie Colorsdo Fed
eration of Labor and this had put him 1n
doe toueh with the Western Federstlon
of Miners. -
Coates said Jack Slmpklna was In Wal
lace While Orchard was there, but he could
not remember ever having seen them to
gether. Slmpktns often called, at his of
fice. The witness said he never said any
thing to Paulson regarding Orchard's lalk
of stealing the child.
Orchard Beea With Detectives.
Mrs. Nellie Joyce of Denver, who was
formerly housekeeper at ths boarding house
of the Florence aV Cripple Creek railroad
at Cripple Creek, testified to seeing Hsrry
Orchard at the boarding house on the
night of the second attempt to wreck a
