were not properly a part of the defense,
but Messrs. Darrow and Richardson con
tinued their plea that It was most Im
portant, as showing a conspiracy on the
part of the mine owners and Plnkertona.
and managed to show that Moyer had
been denied permission to communicate
with counsel; that Bulkeley Wells of the
Mine Owners' association was In charga
of the arresting and extraditing party;
that Wells had charge of the train, and
that Wells had the keys of Moyer's hand
cuffs, and twice unlocked them on the
Jgurney to Idaho. The attempt to show
that the three prisoners had been ille
gally taken to the Idaho penitentiary
failed under adverse rulings of the court
Moyer made a self-possessed witness,
and at the end of the long day the de
fense expressed satisfaction over both
his testimony and the probable impres
sion he made on the Juror. He Is si man
,ot good appearance and address, and his
low-pitched voice Is Of pleasing tone. Ho
displayed some nervousness when ha faced
.the courtroom, but the examination had
not proceeded far before he seemed quite
at ease. He will resume the stand at
9:80 o'clock tomorrow morning, when the
state will enter upon its Cross-examination.
His dlrert testimony today look a
wide latitude and the way is open for an
equally wide cross-examination. Senator
Borah will be the state questioner.
Nevaya'ter Man on Stand. '
' When court convened this morning
John E. Tlerney, a newspaper correspond
ent of Denver, was called by the defense.
He testified regarding the political situa
tion In Colorado In 1904 and 190&, when,
It la alleged, -that attempts were made on
the life of Governor Peabody and Supremo
Court Justices Uoddard and Gabbert. Tler
ney aald he was a candidate for the leg
islature In 1904. Asked if he wus elected
on the fare of the returns, but nut al
lowed to take his seat, there wus an objec
tion from the state and the wltnuss wss
not allowed to reply.
Tlerney next was asked what the public
feeling In the city of Denver was as against
Governor Peabody and tho supreme court
In 1904 and 19c. Again there came an ob
jection from tho state and a long argument
ensued.
Mr. Darrow declared It was the purpose
of the defense to show .that there were
others whoa feelings and motives were
stronger than any that could be charged
agalnat the Western Federation of Miners.
"Are you going to show that somebody
Other than Orchard committed the crimes?"
queried Judge Wood.
"No, your honor," replied Darrow, "we
will presuiaa that, Orchard did those, things,
but we propose to show that he was act
ing aa agent for those who must have had
M stronger feeling than the Western Fed
eration of Miners. We propose to show thut
these defendants bad absolutely nothing to
dq with Orchard in council Ion with the&o
Incidents. . We want to show motive puro
and simple. We want to show that a great
clans of people In the clly of Denver had
a feeling Inllnltely stronger than lias been
charged against the. Western Federation of
Miners as a result of the eight hour
decision."
The court sustained the state's objections.
Tlerney lrtt the stand and the jury was
recalled.
. President Moyer Called.
Charles H. Mover was then called to the
stard. Mrs. Moyer was In the court room
when her husband took the stand. She
occupied a seat inside the railing and Im
mediately behind the counsel for the state.
She was dressed in white. Her sister sat
beside per.
After being escorted to the witness chair
by a bailiff and sworn Moyr was ques
tioned by Attorney Darrow as to some of
the drtaCs of his early life. H said ha
had been a miner ever since 1SS3. Ha
joined the Western Federation of Miners
In V 9" and wss first elected president In
Juue, 1802, having been re-elected annually
since that.
' Moyer said he had worked In a smelter
for three years and a half of hla life. He
first teams into prominence In the national
organization of the federation In 1S9, when
at the Salt I-ake convention he was elected
a member of the executive board under
President Ed Boyce. For nine months

Mr. Moyer said as president no bond was
required of him, but Haywood, as secretary-treasurer,
was under a bond of :,CO
The witness declared that his duties as
president of the organisation required his
absence from headquarters a greater part
of the time. The territory covered by th.j
Western Federation extends from Michigan
to tho Pacific coast and from Alaska to
Mexico. There were 22,090 members of the
federation when Moyer was elected in 190
Whin he was arrested more than a year
ago there were 30,000 members and accord
ing to thia year's report there are more
than 40,000.
"Now, Mr. Moyer, during your term as
president what has been the custom of
the organization as to defending members
of the union who- have been charged with
crime growing out ef their connection with
the union or where the federation has been
Involved?" asked Mr. Darrow.
"It has been the rule of the organiza
tion always to protect Its members and
the Interest of the organization where at
tacka have been made against them."
Moyer Self-Possessed.
Moyer spoks with absolute self-posses-

He seemed to weigh every word of

his answers.
Has the organisation had to defend Its
members quite often?"
Yes."
"And have there been many convictions?"
"Very few, considering the number who
have had charges placed against them."
"Where were you in 1899 during the
Coeur d'Alenes troubles?"
"In the Black Hills of South Dakota."
Moyer said he did not become a mem
ber of the executive board until June fol
lowing the troubles. He had nothing to
do with the management of the atrlke and
no Interest in It other than as a member
of the organization a long distance from

"Did you ever entertain any personal

"No. sir."
"You had the same feeling that other
members of the organization had?"
"I can't say that I felt exactly the same
as th men who wrie actually in the
trouble. I was at some distance and could
not feel as strongly as they did."
'ripple Creek Troubles.
Mr. DarrSj too the witness to the Crip
ple Creek distilct of Colorado and the
beginning of the labor strife there. The
strike started at Colorado City in Febru-'
aiy, 1903. The men In the Colorado City
mines, Moyer said, detlred to organise and
aftil'ate with the Western Federation of
Miners. Their right to do so was contested
by their employers und many of the men
were discharged. The state mllltla was
called out almost as soon as the strike was
Inaugurated and desplto that fact the wit
ness declared, there was no disorder. Many
J rltlx-ns protested sgainbt the presence of
.tia uiuit'ia,
The strike extended to Cripple' Creek In
August, 15. the men were going out in
support of the Colorad) City mill men.
Practically all the ore mined In Cripple
Creek was shipped to Colorado City for
treatment in the mills there. The mine
owners had first been requested not to send
their ore to Colorado City. The Portland
mine, the largest in the district, sided with
the union and milled its own ore. The
strike spread to Tellurlde in September.
1V0S, the mill nren there going out for an
eight hour day. An eight hour law was
passed In 1S99 but waa declared unconsti
tutional. Etakt-lloar Us,
A constitutional amendment providing an
eight-hour law wss voted up and adopted
at the general election In but the leg
islature which followed refused to enact
such a law because of the opposition of
the mine owners.
Boon after the strike waa called at Crip

went there to address Jha miners at a picnic
in Plnacle park.
"I addressed the men as to my opinion

acquired control of the United Cigar Stores
compsny (for a long time thereafter de
nied) and through It retail tobacco stores
are established In the large cities which,
by reason ot the powerful support and In
fluence of the combination, have quickly
assumed a dominating position In the trade
and ar destroying competitors.
The Individuals named as defendants and
as witnesses are James B. Duke, president
of the American Tobacco company; John
B. Cobb, president of the American Cigar
company; William K. Harris, chairman of
the board of managers of the British-American
Tobacco company; Caleb C Dale, vice
president of the American Tobacco com

of the American Tobacco company; W. C.

Imperial Tobacco company of Great
Britain; Thomas F. Ryan, Pierre Lorlllard,
Peter A. B. Wldener, Anthony N. Brady,
and practically all of the directors of the
American Tobacco company.
A significant feature of the complaint to
day is Us waiver of the right of demanding
answers under oath from corporations and
Individuals named as defendants, as the
making of such answer under oath might
confer immunity from prosecution.
"The Sherman law, under which this
action la brought," said Mr. McReynolds,
"provides that the court may restrain and
prevent the operations of a combination.
If the court finds that the appointment of
receivers Is necessary to prevent operation
of thla combination It may appoint them.
If the court enjoined these corporations, It
might prevent men from buying tobacco,
but If receivers are appointed the business
would be continued, the public would not
be , embarrassed by Inability to purchase
tobacco and the receiver might sell off the
various factories to Independent concerns,
thus effectively dissolving the combination."

SMUGGLE GEMS CROSS BORDER
w Canadian Law Pnttloir Diamond
on Free Mat Starts
Business.
Reports from Winnipeg, Manitoba, fur
nish strong indications of smuggling opera
tions across the border. During the last
month, the first In which the new customs
law placing diamonds on the free list has
been n force, the receipt of diamonds at
the Winnipeg postoffleo has increased at
an enormous rate, .and fhere. Is reason to
believe that Winnipeg Is one of the bases
of a gigantic conspiracy to" smuggle the
gems Into the United States. '.
Diamonds pay .a high duty under the
United States customs laws, so that suc
cessful smuggling Is an exceedingly profit
able undertaking.
Though Toronto and Montreal are said to
be the chief bases of operations of the
nR' Winnipeg also comes In for a large
share of the attention which the United
t5''"1 customs officials are devoting to the
j Illicit enterprise. Since the Canadlnn law
went Into effect it is estimated thnt hun
,J"'ds of thousands of dollars' worth of the
ms have been received at the local post
flce. The diamonds are shipped through the
malls In much the same manner as ordi
nary mall matter. In registered packages.
They are taken from the postoflW at
Winnipeg, and it Is said that It Is a com
paratively easy matter to get tlr-m aoros-i
the line Into the United States. It is also
said that the conspirators Insure the dia
monds and that they ure thus protected
against loss should any of the jewels be
a'd to be reaping a harvest.

SIOUX ON CUSTER MASSACRE
Bnffalo BUI Indiana Talk About
Tragedy of tho I.lttlo
Big Horn,.
! Tuesday, June 25, was the thirty-first an
! nlversary of the most famous Indian fight
i In history the Custer massacre. Two of
j the few remaining- Sioux who took part
i In that tragedy were In New York recently,
! performing In mimic war dances and bat
1 ties with Buffalo Bill. They are Rocky
! Bear and Iron Tall.
I rtotn cnieis were, reluctant at nrsi to
talk about the fight, but at last they
thawed out, and ,for three hours recited
the story of. the troubles that culminated
In the death of Custer and his men on
June. 25, . 1876, and the banishment ef the
I Sioux from the country. Stripped of Its
crude wording, Iron Tali's atory ran as
follows: .
"My tribe, and, the Cheyenne., with which
we are married, have always been fighting
men. They hav&. fought and beaten all
' the Indians, of, the. plains, and have been
! feared for their, prowess. We made raids
into the country south of us, ran off ponies,
cattle and whatever we wanted. We fought
! the Indians and .the whites and the sol
! dlers with success. Finally the Great
j Father wanted us to become reservation
I Indians and hold us to the agency. Red
Cloud, a great chief, was a friend of the
' whites and wanted the reservation. Sitting
j Bull, a big medicine man, he wanted to be
I as al ways able to" go everywhere In Indian
country hunt, camp and roam. Red Cloud i
had hla followers; Sitting Bull had hla. ;
With the latter were such fishtlng chiefs as j
Gaul and Rain-1n-the-Face. I was young,
ao was Rocky Bear we were Just chiefs;
what you aoldlers call colonels; they were
generals.
"Previous to 1878 Raln-ln-the-Face had
I been In the guard house at Fort Abraham
j Lincoln, where CuSter was the big chief,
and Tom Custer had put iron on him,
! which mado his heart bad. He told Tom
I Custer he would eat his heart some day
j when he got awav. ; Later. Raln-ln-the-Face
escaped to us, and he was a bad Indian,
j always wanting to fight; he kept the young
j fellows stirred up and helped Sitting Bull,
j "In 187(5, when grass came, the soldiers
' came for us. There were three big chiefs
fwlth three villages, and they tried to ret
I around us, but Gaul he was our biggest
chief kept moving on until we were near
the reservations, and a great many of the
young braves left the agenclea and went !
on the warpath with us. We were trying
to get up near the line (Canada) and had
felt we wore far away from the aoldlers
when we fought Custer. We felt so safe
we had no scouts out for two davs when
we made village on the Little Big Horn
river.
"We were all In tepees that morning
when Custer and his soldiers came on us.
We ran out and they shot at in. We made
for our ponies and were going to escape
' down the river, when we found Custer's ,'
little chief Reno) headed us off. We did j
not know which way to go until we saw j
the little chief run away. Then Gaul he ;
' hi flel.ter leaf! us all at Custer. We find
he only has few men and we fight him. j
i The soldiers fight, tight like Blour; they
brave, they good fighters, but we kill
them all In short time and ecaln them.
J Then, we go for the little chief, and he
I and hia soldlera In trenches, so we take
the women and chlflren and go over the
line.
"It a big fight" to go back "to Tail's
own words "Sioux brave Indian, whip
soldier, get aoldier gun. get clothes, got
blankst. get scalp and one sleep get where
soldier no came. Oaul, he want fight,
may be six suns more; he no wnnt tight
them. Gaul he fight good when Custor
come. Heap Hloux! '
"That long snows ago! Me good Indian
now. Fight no more."
The old chief took the pipe of peace
from the hand of the writer. The youth
ful lire of excitement at living over those
scenes of carnage died from his eves, the
paint on his face which had made him
j again the savage of the "TJs took on gro
1 tesqueness.
Throughout , the recital of the etnrv
Rocky Bear bad sat wun legs crossta
under htm, his beady eyes peering out over
cheeks as wrinkled as the hldo of an
elephant, fixedly set upon the speaker.
Vt'hen Tall had finished Rocky said:
"White man think Sitting Bull big chief.
No. Sitting Bull big medicine man. No
fight. Big Chief Gaul and Raln-ln-tht-Face.
they fight. Raln-ln-the-Face say he
eat 'Tom' Custer's heart. He eat heart
that light. He not forget wrong."
The massacre of General George A.
Custer and ttl men of the Seventh cavalry
will stand out In tbe history of the world
as one of the most horrible fights of
I Custer hss been crHtelsed and blamed,
i He bus been charged with disoheving

WONDERFUL PUBLIC BUILDING
Ke-w York's ,ew t'natom Hons Bnllt
Inside tke Approprla
tlon.
Well down near the nose ot. Manhattan
Island, In the section known as Bowling
Green, the federal government has com
pleted a custom house remarkable for two
things Its Imposing architecture- and Its
completion for less than the sum appro
priated, approaching in both respects the
distinction hitherto enjoyed solely by the
Congressional library building In Wash
ington. Although the construction of the
custom house la a political Job, there will
be a surplus of about $70,000 turned back
Into the coffers of Uncle Sam after the
bill of the last sub-contractor has been
paid. This, too, when after asking for an
appropriation of k,00ii.0i0 Father Knicker
bocker was told to be thankful with
4.0O0. The hands of the officials In
high placea were raised aghast when
the first named amount waa asked for,
and it was only after much contention
that M.000,000 waa gingerly handed over.
After the dirt began to fly In the con
struction of foundation for the new build
ing this sum was augumented by $1,500,
000, and later. In 19C4, an additional
$405.(00 waa appropriated to admit further
needed Improvements. Lovers of art and
others who hoped for an Interior effect
better to set off the beauty of the marble
finish besought the governmental heads
to add mural decorations to the rest.
Thus far, however, the government has
been deaf to their plea, and as no appro
priation for Interior paintings has been
made the Idea of mural decorations has
been abandoned, temporarily at least.
Aa It stands today the New Tork cus
tom house Is one of the best, If not the
best, government building of its kind in
the world. Built entirely of granite. It
la of the most massive construction, and
It typifies strength and power. The domi
nant groups of the approach are America
and Europe, well In front of the facade,
and at the sides of the central stairway,
while at the outer corners of the front sit
Asia and Africa looking with atony staro
out on the busy world around them,
a microcosm largely composed of men who
themselves were only lately subject In
some of the countries of these continents.
Together, as they sit there, these pon
derous Imaginings of Daniel Chester French
are not altogether unsuggesttve of the con
ference of the nations which Is now gath
ered at The Hague, unless, maybe, the
likeness la a bit strained because of the
sculpture's alienee.
Above the deep embrasures of the win
dows and acting aa keystones In the arches
of these are the vlsagea of the race of
mankind. Here are the intellectural faca
of the American and the dreamy face of

HOW GRAFT RUINED SCULPTOR
George Gray Barnard Tells Pitiful
Story of Pennsylvania State
House Scandal.
To cap the climax of the capltol scandal,
which has stunned the people of Pennsyl
vania, comes the most dramatic and pitiful
chapter In the long story of fraud and folly
the story of tho ruin of George Gray
Barnard, sculptor.
Barnard testified before the Investigating
commission and did not speak in bitterness.
His nature Is too fine, too childlike, almost,
for that. But no man could hear the tale
of the heartless deception practiced upon
him without emotion.
He told how the simple-minded sculptor,
with the heart of a child, but the mind of
a master, fell under the hypnotic spell of
Joseph H. Huston, the $13,000,000 architect;
how under that Inspiration he changed the
whole current of his existence and dedicated
his life, his fortune and his skill to the con
summation of what was to be a historic
work; how he was led to believe that this
great and wealthy state would stand behind
him In his self-sacrificing efforts to per
petuate In marble mighty monuments which
should make the capltol a Mecca of art and
add glory to the history of the common
wealth. He told how Huston held before htm
promise of 1700,000 for the great work; how,
then, the architect, who was paying fur
niture makers 6,000 and 10,000 per cent profit,
with a wave of his hand reduced the
amount to t300,000; how the sculptor, dream
ing only of hhr art, thought of nothing so
little aa of the money.
But he was to be squeezed more. He told
how Huston later cut the amount to HOJ.OOO
not enough to pay for the raw materials
and the labor for two groups; how he In
sisted on 1140.000 as a minimum, and how
Huston actually Induced him to pledge two
of his masterpieces to raise money to com
plete the state's work. More then this, he
told how he had to mortgage his furniture
and hypothecate his life Insurance In order
to pay for a bond. When at last he got to
work In a studio near Paris, and expended
thousands of dollars for materials and In
wages, the remittances from the state
ceased. Ills appeals were Ignored. He paid
his workmen as long as he could, and then
closed his studio and tramped France aa a
collector of curloa. which he sold,- and used
the $30,000 he made thus to pay the debts he
had contracted on Huston's word. He told
how Huston commanded htm to make
plaster models of the statues and aend
them on; how he expended thousands for
this purpose, only to be curtly told, when
they were ready, that there was no money
to pay for them.
Now he la back In his home atate. Four
years of his Ufa have been wasted; his
studio and entire equipment have been
swept away: .the Iron contract which he
was Induced to sign makes It impossible to
deliver his work, even If he had the money
to move It, because the time limit forced
upon him has expired; and the unfinished
masterpieces for which empty pedestals
stand before the capltol are gathering dust
In Frsnce. while the sculotor. penniless al
most, faces ruin bravely In the state which
wronged him. Philadelphia North Ameri

XO SLEEP AT FIRE HOUSES
Double Shift Meant Twelve Hours on
Duty for Men.
RULE ADOPTED BY THE BOARD
Commercial Club Committee Has I Jl w
yer Working; to Attack Law on
Account of Its Added Ex
pense to the City.
The law providing for a double shift for
firemen has been In effect long enough to
demonstrate that Its enforcement Is not to
the satisfaction of either the firemen nor
to persons who object to the prospect of
additional expense for maintaining the de
partment. The objection of the firemen is to the
rule which requires the men- to be on ac
tual duty, wide awake, for twelve consecu
Uve hours, and which provides that the
beds at the fire stations cannot be used
except In case of accident, Illness or emer
gency where a man on duty In the day Is
called for temporary service at night. Un
der the old system men could use the beds
at night. A movement Is already on foot
for a petition to be presented to the Board
of Fire and Police Commissioners asking
them to modify the rule.
One of the officers of the department
aald:' "As far as practical work Is con
cerned there la no good reason for the rule.
It has been demonstrated that fires are re
sponded to as quickly at night as In the
day; but the board evidently deslrea the
men ahall 'put In' the full twelve hours
and not loaf during any of tho time. The
men are not really 'kicking,' but they can
not understand the attitude of the board
In the matter."
While -the men are objecting to the ruh
regarding the disuse of the beds the Com
mercial club Is taking up the question of
the law In lta entirety. A conjmlttee has
been appointed and Is seeking legal advice
on the constitutionality of the law. When
this opinion is rendered, according to the
atatement of a member of the committee,
the club will determine Its course. If the
attorney having the question under advise
ment decides that suit can be brought to
successful termination, one will be atarted
forthwith to aet aside the law. The objec
tion of the club to the law Is the additional
expense It entaila. It Is stated by an officer
of the department that the additional ex
pense for the remainder of the present
year will be 13,000, that It will be greater
next year, as each man placed on the rolls
thia year will be granted an Increase of
15 a -month after hla first year's service
and a similar Increase at the end of hla
second year.
CHIN PAC MAY STAY HERE

Return- to Dear Old
Chlaa.
Chin Pac, the much arrested Chinaman,
need not go back to China, according to
a decision handed down by Judga W. If.
Munger Wednesday afternoon In the
I'nlted States district court. This de
cision overrules the Judgment of United
States Commissioner Anderson, who, in
April last, decreed that Chin Pac was
proper subject for deportation under the
Chinese exclusion laws.
Chin Pac waa first arrested by Immi
grant Inspector J. B. Kirk in April,' 1(04,
on the charge of being a common laborer,

arrested by Immigrant Inspector W. R.
Mansfield and taken before United States
Commissioner Marlay at Lincoln, wher.i
he waa again discharged on the ground
that ha had shown good cause why ha
should be permitted to remain In the
country.
However, it waa afterwards ascertained
that Chin Pac had engaged in the voca
tion of a common laborer, and he was
again arrested on the complaint of n
Aprll t, 1107, before Commissioner An
spector Mansfleld, and In the hearing on
deraon, he was adjudged a fit Subject for
deportation, and Judge Anderson Issued
an order to that effect. Chin Pac's attor
