TORPEDO Oil TRACK;

NJURES PASSING II While Walking the Railroad Ties, Stock Raiser is Victim of Curious Accident. (Sprilnl to Lake County Timed.) South Chicago, July 2 4. While walking down the Baltimore &. Ohio tracks at Ninetieth street last night Robert W. Ewing, a stock raiser of Findlay, O, was badly cut about the face by f!ing pieces of a torpedo. Ewing was going down the traeks and seeing an approaching train, stepped to one t-iiie of the tracks to let it pass, just as the train was even with him the wheels passed over a torpedo which was ikying on tne iracK, ana in exp'odlng, tile pieces t'lew in all djreclodging in Ewing's tio.is, several pieces face. Rwing fell to the ground where he was pUKcii up by the train crew, the iimtiuiance was called and the iniured man was taken to the South Chicago hospital where his injuries were dressed and he was allowed to eo on to Chicago. No serious results are anticipated from the accident unless blood X'oisoning should set in, but if it does it will go hard with Ewintr. The injured man had stopped over in South Chicago, from Findlay, to transact business while on his way to Chicago, and at the time of the accident was on his way to the Baltimore & Ohio depot to catch a train to the city. BIRTH FOR EX-MAYOR DUNNE Proposed by Democrats for U. S. Senator C. Boeschenstein for Governor. Fur I. S. Senator Kdwnrd F. Dunne For governor Charles 5"eelieiii teln. Chicago, July 21. Gossip among democratic politicians has it that the forgoing is likely to be a part of the slate of candidates which the state convention wil be called upon to approve in framing the next state tight against the republicans. Reports from down the state are to the effect that Mr. Boeschenstein, who is the chairman of the democratic state central committee, is on the eve of announcing his candidacy for the demo cratic nomination for governor. He is being Loomed actively in a number of counties in- the southern part of "the state and from Edwardsville, his home town, comes the report that the an nouncement of his candidacy may be expected in a short time. Mr. Boeschenstein is a Roger Sullivan democrat. Dunne a a Peacemaker. Mr. Dunne is being put forward as a possible candidate for United States senator by the democrats who believe a compromise Between uryan and Sulli van can be arranged. As mayor of Chicago Dunne always occupied a good position on the top of tho fence between Mr. Bryan and Mr. Sullivan. He studiously avoided being drawn into tho imbroglio between tho national and the state democratic leaders. In his great desire not to offend Bryan, Dunne avoided the appearance of openly courting the powerful as sistance of Mr. Sullivan, and in his desire not to offend Mr. Sullivan he went so far as to reject the Nebraskan's offer to speak for Dunne in the last municipal campaign. For that reason it is argued if anybody can unite the two factions of Illinois democrats Dunne is tho man to do it. If he can do it he can have any reward lie will name if he can get it afterwards. Inasmuch as they haven't a ghost of a show of carrying the state tho democrats are willing to offer Mr. Dunne even the job of United States senator. Bryan Feasted by SulIlvntiHes. In connection with this gossip it was pointed out as significant that it was the Sullivan democrats who entertained Bryan at Danville last week. This is taken by many to mean that a real effort to bring about a reconciliation of the two factions is on foot.

JURY GASPS AT ATTORNEY'SPLEA

Declares Governor Peabody Would nfot be Alive if Union Sought Death. FORSiESJLO THEORY Lawyer Eichardson Springs Surprise In Argument and Charges Plot. Boise, Idaho, July 23. The most extraordinary thing that has occurred in all the eleven weeks of the Haywood trial took place this morning when Attorney Richardson, senior counsel for the defense, in the course of his argument to the jury, declared the fact that Gov. Peabody, Judges Gabbort and Goddard, Gen. Sherman Bell, and other opponents of the Western Federation of Miners are still alive is conclusive proof that the federation leaders never marked them for death. So, too, he declared the fact that Steunenberg lived for six years after Jack Simpkins suffered in the Coeur d'Alene bull pen was complete proof that Simpkins had no motive for killing him, because Simkins was a determined man, who would have accomplished his purpose long before the close of 1905 if he had ever intended to murder the former trovernor. The whole courtroom listened to this amazing argument with astonishment, and there was plenty of indication that it did not sit at all well with either Haywood or Richardson's associates in the defense. 10 ven Juror Betray Surprise. The jurors looked at the lawyer with weird attention, and for once there was an expression of surprise, even on some or those ordinarily inscrutable faces. As the crowd filed out of the room at adjournment there was plenty of comment that the de.fense must be getting desperate to make such a plea and declare thus oppenly how sure and unfailing was the vengeance of the federation. "Can you believe," cried Richardson, 'that if these men had been as murlerous and as implacable against their enemies as Orchard has described them, that Sherman Bell would be alive and about his business in Denver today, and all those bitter enemies of organ ized labor, Peabody and Goddard and Gabbert. "It is just as certain as that you and 1 are here today that not one of these men would be aliVe today if these defendants had ben Hwmurderers that Orchard charges them with being." Curious Defense of Simpkina. In other words, the fact that they were not murdered was proof that their murder never was attempted, for if it had been tried it would have been aeeomptisnea. io it was witn tne conn ction of Jack Simpkins with the Steunenberg case. "I never heard," said Richardson, "that Simpkins was not a man of some resolution. If he ever had intended to kill Steunenberg lie would have ac complished his purpose. Steunenberg never would have lived from 1S93 to 190r.. They were in the same state. Simpkins had plenty of opportunities He met Steunenberg at political meet ings. "He had no trouble in getting at the governor at any time. He could have 'yrot' him whenever he wanted. But that was not why Simpkins went to Caldwell with Orchard. I believe he was mveigniea mere py urcnard on some pretext of a hunting or fishing trip or to look at a ranch. Orchard's scheme was to get Simpkins there, just as he tried to get Bill Easterly there ior a purpose wnicn lie made appear innocent, but which was in reality to have some member of the federation implicated with him in the murder. Lawyer Contradicts Htmwelf. Richardson apparently forgot, in the enthusiasm of his argument, the plea he had made yesterday with reference to Jack Simpkins. Then he justified the fugitive member of the federation executive board for harboring the desire for revenge against Steunenberg, and told the jury that they, too, if they had suffered in the bullpen as Simp kins did. would have felt a hatred for Steunenberg. Today Richardson went farther in his disagreement with himself. He declared that not only did Simpkins have no motive for killing Steunenherg. but that the hatred inspired by his bullpen experience had died with the lapse of years. And there he differ entiated peculiarly between Orchard and Simpkins. Simpkins had endured terrible indignities in the bullpen while Orchard had merely felt com pelled to leave the Coeur d'Alenes. Yet Simpkins' hatred melted away with years, while Orchard's grew and became more bitter, so that in the end Orchard borrowed $600 from Paulsen and set out on his own motion to take the long road of revenge for his personal grievance. Richardson also justified the flight of Simpkins today. Justifies Flight of Slmpklnn. "I am frank to say that if I had been in the bullpen that summer," he said, "and had been inveigled by Orchard into stopping at Caldwell with him, and were a member of the executive board of the federation, I should have gone into hiding myself on hearing of the murder of Steunenberg. no matter how innocent I might have been. "Any one of you would have done it, to. And if I had known that this murder would be attributed to the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners I would have advised them to co the same thing." It was the plea of "confession and avoidance" again, aa Hawley described it the other day. The jurors watched the lawyer with curious eyes as he was making It and over Haywood's face therer-canra-aa-xrejisio:i-'Ci'-eer

STEEL LABORER DIES

I! HARNESS HI HILL Found Lying With Head Against Furnace Door Inhaled Deadly- Gases. (Special to Lake County Times.) South Chicago, July 24. Arthur Bercozik, aged T.S, a laborer employed by the Illinois Ste. n.-imr,:in-found dead late last night bv other laborers who chanced tr nass the, 1 furnace where Bercozik works. The dead man was found lying with his head against the door of the furnace and not a hair remained on his head, having been burned by the heat of the furnace. He was picked up and removed to one side where later he was removed to the steel company's morgue on Mackinaw avenue. It Is believed that during the evening Bercozik was overcome by the escaping gas and falling unconscious, inhaled the fumes until he was dead. The dead man was well known throughout Polish circles in South Chicago and was married, living with his wife and children at S546 Mackinaw avenue. The Inquest wil be held this after noon to determine the cause of the man's death. Bercozik has been employed at the Illinois Steel company's plant for the last six years and was known as one of the best man in the labor department at the mills. Polish friends of Bercozik are pre paring to make quite a demonstra tion at his funeral which will bo held tomorrow. RESISTING ARREST: FIRES SEVERAL SHOTS Wanted in Detroit, Stanley Obszenski Makes Trouble in South Chicago. South Chicago, July 24. After a desperate battle last night between Officers Skiba and Waters and Stanlev Obszenski in which several shots were fired the latter was arrested on a charge of having stolen $1,500 from John Kortoski of Detroit. Mich. Officer Skiba, after securing a de scription of Obszenski from the Detroit authorities, started in search of Obszenski who was supposed to have been holding forth somewhere in South Chicago. Skiba found that a man an swering Obszenski's description was was lodging at a boarding house run by Stella Szlewski, at 7794 Ontario aenue. Skiha went to the house and told the circumstances to Mrs. Szlewski and asked her to assist in his capture. She consented and told the officer that he would return about 9 o'clock. Going back to the station Skiba accompanied by Waters left for the Szlewski board ing house and going to Obszenski's room ordered him to open the door, he refused and backed up his orders- by firing a bullet at the two officers. The officers returned the fire and throwing their weight against the door plunged inside and aftt-r wrestling with Ob szenski for about a minute succeeded in getting the twisters on his wrists. During tho encounter with the offi cers, Mrs. t-ziewsKi rusneu outside and called up the 15th precinct and the wagon was sent to the scene where Obszenski was taken to the station. The South Chicago authorities are now in communication wun tne ietroit police and an officer is expected out by tonight to identify the man. icusness as grave as any he has worn at any time during the progress of the trial, even that trying occasion when the indictment was read to him. It a plea of desperation, and everybody in the defense knew it. Calls Orchard Mvil and Loaihaome. At the evening session of the court Richardson savagvly denounced McParland, the detective who worked up the evidence in this case. He declared that the confession of Orchard was prearranged, and that when McParland and his men "flocked like vultures to the scene" of Steunenberg's murder they knew in advance what was going to happen. The Pinkertons also came in for a scathing. In scandalized accents and with booming voice Richardson declared that Orchard confessed he had been fed from the table of the warden of the penitentiary and clothed by the warden. living a year and a half on the fat of the land. "This evil, loathsome creature," he said, "who sat on the Ftand and. told the most revolting tale of murder and crime ever heard is associating with senators .and your good governor, and called familiarly 'Harry-' I don't know whether he calls Senator Borah 'Bill,' or not. But I do know that Borah calls him 'Harry.' and they are all together in this case, not to hang this wretch but to hang this defendant." This outburst against Orchard was followed by a eulogy of the private life of Haywood, which in view of the circumstances of his arrest, constituted one of the most extraordinary features of Richardson's speech. He contrasted the two men and cried: "Which will you believe, the self-confessed murderer, or this exemplary citizen, bearing a name that no living man comes here to smirch, this devoted husband and father, caring tenderly for the crippled woman who sits by his side." After lice are tion to city wit a few weeks or iulet, the por.ow going to turn their atten the dogs running around the hout a muzzle and the usual li cense tag.

STATE STREET TO EE PAVED ENTIRE LENGTH. Understood the Thoroughfare Will De Laid In lirlck Before Long Objectors Point Out Danger of Proposed Moubl Trtfh. It is understood that State street, east of Hohman, will be paved with brick in the near future, the entire length of the street. It is thought that it will be done some time during the present eummer. The residents and business men are not anxious to go through another winter with the street as bad as it has benn in the past. According to the provision of the franchise with the street railway company, a double track is to be laid on that street before the Improvement is made. This the people of that section are seriously objecting to because of the narrowness of the street and the consequent danger to traffic with cars passing In opposite directions on each of the tracks. They entered a remonstrance there for through their representative in the city council. Alderman Pascaly, who made a motion last night to refer the matter to City Attorney Meyer, who will investigate the provisions in the street car contract and see what can be done in the matter. FACTORY SITE COSTS $10,000 The price of the site of the Western Glucose company was made public today when the transfers indicated that about nineteen acres of land had been transferred by Edward A. Shedd to the Western Glucose company for $10,000. This is only a little over $300 per acre and is a very low price for this property. It was probably sold at that figure for the benefit it would have on , trie adjoialns. property.
