DOISE, Idaho, July 10 William D.
Haywood wii railed to the stand Imme
diately after the recess and his examfiui
tlo nby Mr. Darrftw wai begun. The ac
cused man wai perfectly at ease aa h
walked to the chair and took oath aa a
witness In his own behalf. Ills voice was
qulj:e low at first, but when hla attention
was called to It ha elevated It ao aa to
carry to Judge Wood.
Haywood was first questioned aa to hla
family history. He aald his father and
stepfather were both miners and he first
hegan worn aa a miner under me lauer.
Haywood was born In Halt Lake City in
1 !. He joined the Western Federation
of Miners In 1896.
Never Knew Steunenberg.
Haywood declared he never knew Gov
ernor Steunenberg and had no interest
In the Coeur d'Alene troubles other than
as a member of the federation.
The witness was asked If he ever said
to anyone, as has been testified, that Gov
ernor Steunenberg should be exterminated.
"No. sir." he replied. "I think what T
said waa that he should be relegated, and
I took a hand In relegating- him."
Haywood became a member of the ex
ecutive board of the Western Federation
of Miners In 1900, holding, that position
until June, 1901. when he was elected
seeretery-treaaurer, an office which ne
still nominally fills. His salary Is 1180
a month. The witness was questioned at
length as to the early history of the or
ganization, the duties of Its officers, etc.
Asked if the federation employed attor
neys, Haywood declared that at times It
has had as high as twenty-two attorneys
on the pay roll. ' Its growth has been
steady ever since that time with the ex
ception of the Cripple Creek year, when
there waa a temporary loss of some 3,000
- frtsmhers.
The witness said his duties as secretary
of the federation kept him at headquar- I
tern practically all the time. The travel-
ing waa done by the president and mem-
f hpra nf the evecutlva board. He areom

1H. Meeilna- with Orchard.
' Haywood said he first met Orchard in
1904 at the the same time Moyer met the ing and ,et Saturday morning as a time
man. Orchard came as a delegate from , wnen a showing may bo made. Page 4

chard on blowing up the Vindicator mine. or Omaha, was found at his lodgings so
"He never spoke to me at any time about
the Vindicator," declared Haywood, "and
never received any money from me."
Haywood corroborated what Moyer tes
tified to yesterday aa to the circumstances
of Orchard'a accompanying the president
of the federation to Auray, Colo.
f Haywood Strikes Wells.
Haywood told of Moyer'a return from I
Ouray to Denver, In 1H, In custody of a !
UCIUA. Illlioiil Ul lunula. iiaywwu was
aelt a prisoner It the custody of an officer.
Haywood at bis own request was allowed
to meet Moyer at the depot.
The witness told how he had Just greeted
Moyer at the depot when General Bulkeley
Welltf interfered and Haywood struck
Welli,
"What happened then?"
"The soldiers set upon me and I got much
the worst of it."
Haywood was then taken to the Oxford
hotel, he said, and there one of the soldiers
pulled a six-shooter on him. Haywood
struck the soldier and then another row
ocourred In which Haywood was again
roughly handled.
Haywood said that he heard nothing of
the Independence depot explosion or the
murder of Lyte Gregory until after thoy
happened. Orchard, he said, had never ap
proached him In connection with either of
these matters or had he ever mentioned
them to him in any way.
The federation, Haywood declared, had
never had any difficulty with Gregory.
Aa to Johnny Neville, the witness said,
he bad never met or spoken to the man.
He did aae htm at headquarters ono day,
hut whatever conversation the man had
titers waa with Moyer.
No Pay meat to Orckar..
"Did you evwr give Orchard, at any time
or plaos, any money for ,he Independenoe
ex plosion T" asked Darrow,
"I did not."
"Did you and Moyer ever have a conver
sation with Orchard In Petttbone'a back
yard or anywhere elae aa to the killing of
Governor SteunenbergT"
"No, sir, never."
At Pettlbooe's store one day Haywood
said he heard Orchard aay he was going to
Alaska and was not going back to hla fam
ily In Cripple Creek. He said hla wife had
two boys by her first husband and he did
not feel like supporting another man's
children. Haywood aald he told Orchard
"the little woman" married him In good
faith and he ought not desert her.
Orohard hung his head and aald he waa
not going to support her.
"Waa Orchard ever at your house?'
"Yea. sir."
The witness) never saw Orohard after

States.
NEW TORK. July 11 Kelroku Tiusukl,
a Japanese statesman of cabinet rank and
ambassador plenipotentiary of hla country
to The Hague conference, Is quoted at
length In the Herald today In a special
cable dispatch on the prevailing reports
regarding the relations of Japan and the
United States. Mr. Tsutukl, according to
the report, has the fullest confidence of his
government and what he says may be
taken as rejecting tho views of minis
terial, official and Intelligent Japanese Sen
timent. In beginning his statement Mr.
Txuzukl said there must be a great mis
understanding somewhere. "Of all the
countries In the world," he said, "tho
United States Is the very lest with which
Japan seeks any trouble. Japan la a very
young nation among the family of nations.
So young nations, like ourselves, are full
of sensibility and deeply sensible as to
those who have been our friends In our j
struggles and to those who have been our ;
enemies. Now of all our beat friend has I
been the United States. That ft was the 1
one power that gratuitously returned to us
Its share of the Slmeonosakl Indemnity Is
known and Impressed upon every schcot
boy In Japan. We remember with grati
tude that America was the first to recog
nise our claims to extra-territoriality.
'We remember that during the last war
when we were engaged In a titanic and
supremo struggle, the entire sympathy of
the United States was with us. That left
a deep Impression upon us, as America
will find In the future.
"The understanding between our respec
tive governments Is perfect. So It Is, I
most firmly believe, between Intelligent
people In both countries."
In reply to a question regarding the send
ing of an American fleet to the Pacific Mr.
Tzuxukl said:
"I say without hesitation that Japan
would look upon the cruise with the Idea
that no better time than tho present could
be chosen. Just when the two governments
are In most perfect accord."
Admiral Shimainura, who was with the
ambassador when the statement was made,
the correspondent says, coincided entirely
with Mr. Tsuzukl's views.

The paper says:
We cannot help feeling some misgiving

dent Roosevelt to the effect that the navy
would iurnisn ine worm wun a startling
demonstration of America's defensive ca

atuurance that the coming maneuvers do
not possess any connection whatever with
the Japanene-Ainerlf an situation. We re

to take wlut resembles a precautionary
measure. However, we are not disposed
to attach serious Importance to this mat

WHEAT DOUBLES ESTIMATES
Nebraska Fields Are Bringing Forth
Unexpected Bounty.
ANSWER TO CALAMITY HOWLERS
Thresh Ins Returns Show that tho
Wheat Is of Fine Quality sad Is

The first actual threshing reports hav

! returns, he had reports from grain men
from many southern counties, both while

cate a yield of twenty to thirty bushels an

teen b"""'" the predicted yield. Mr.
Morris says the yield all over the state Is
conceded to be enormously larger than
tho 08t "nul"e uld hav P'cted

reported as good.
Harvest la general all over the southern
part of the state and In the counties closer
to the Platte tho first wheat lieias nave

Twine la Scarce.
Considerable difficulty Is experienced by
many country dealers in getting twins.
At a time when It looked as though the
crop would be very short they canoelled
their twine orders and of course the whole
salers lightened their demands on the
factories. The result is the Improvement
In the wheat crop has caused a big cry
for twine. Some of the Omaha and Coun
cil Bluffs Jobbers are burning up the wires
to hurry along shipments from the factories
and are putting off the Inststent dealers
from day to day. One or two concerns are

Had the Case Under
Advisement.
8T. PAI'U Minn., July ll.-The federal
circuit court of appeals has affirmed the
decision of the federal court of Nebraska,
which convicted George O. Ware of fraud
ulent land entries.
Rev. George Q. Wsre, president of the
IT. B. I. Land and Cattle company, waa
jolntlv Indicted with Frank W. I-mbert
and Harry Welsh in November, 1916, by
the federal grand Jury at Omaha for con-

of the use, possosslon and title to large
t,..
tracts of land In Hooker and Thomas

subornation of perjury.
Ixmbrrt and Welsh pleaded guilty to th4
l Indictment and Welsh was sentenced to sis
months' Imprisonment In the Douglas
"OUnty Jnll, and to pay
fine of KiX).
t-Hmbort was never sentenced,
but was
placed under heavy bonds and appeared
as the principal witness at the trial of
Ware In February, The trial lasted
fourteen days, resulting In a verdict of
guilty agelnst Ware. His attorneys wero
T. J. Mahoncy of Omaha and A. J. Fraw
ley of Deadwood, 8. D. They at once filed
a motion for a n,ew trial and the argu
ment on the motl6n was heard In March.

ence upon hot. ueorge ware, me juug-
j ment bring that he should pay a fino of
, Sl.OOn and be confined In the Douglas county
Jail for the period of one year.
Dramatic Scene In Coart.
One of the most dramatic scenes ever
happening In the federal court took place
at this moment, when Rev. Dean George
A. Beecher of Omaha asked permission to
address the court, and with Ms voice
trembling with emotion asked the court
that he might be permitted to serve the
sentence of Imprisonment for Mr. Ware,
as he believed, notwithstanding the formal
verdict of the, Jury, that Mr.. Ware waa
guiltless of ur.y Intentional wrongdoing.
The court of course could not grant the
i Pythinn request of Dean Beecher. How
ever, notice was at once given of an ap
peal to the circuit court of appeals and
this appeal has been pending since. The
final argument on the appeal was had In
April, 1907, Mr. Rush and District At-
torney Goss appearing for the government.
I Tho only recourse now remaining Is' for
an appeal to the United States supreme
, - - -
j court, but as Mr. Mahoney could not be
i reached last evening It Is not known
. wnpthr thl8 appf.al will be taken or not.

conviction was rector of a church at
