The Mine Owners' Detective, as Shown Friday.

FACT ESTABLISHED BY ORCHARD'S OWN WORDS. McPartland Will Follow Orchard on Stand Witnesses for Defense Say Orchard Story Will Be Destroyed.

Boise, June St. Orchard's connection ; vilh the mine owners detectives, lirought out in cross-examination yesterday, is being followed up today. Haywood's lawyers are pleased with) the results, establishing by Orchard's i own words, that at the time he says he was the professional murderer ami dy-f Uamiter for the Western Federation of Miners, he was taking money and rail-j road passes from corporation detee-' tives and reporting to them. Detec-1 live McPartland will rollow Orchard on the stand. '

Witnesses for the defense, are arriving and assert that Orchard's story will be completely destroyed. Attorney Richardson resumed the cross examination of Orchard today by beaming at the Western Federation of .Miners headquarters in Denver. Orchard says he went by the n.Rines of Orchard, Dempsey and Hogan. in Denver, He said Pettiboue and Haywood told him to "get" Peabody. After stalking Peabody a week, he went to Cripple Creek to get Steve Adams to help assassinate the governor. He knew Adams was last in jail S3 days for blowing up the Vindicator mine when he himself was guilty. Orchard denied talking wilh O'Neill, editor of the Miners" Magazine, about;

their strongest assaults on the events Iwinning with the explosion in the Vindicator mine an. ending with the earlier meetings letween the witness und the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners in Denver. To the extent that traffic with "the other side"' in wars of labor and capital in Colorado, was - discreditable they succeeded in discrediting the witness. Taking up the admission that Orchard made on direct examination that 3ie had been treacherous to his comjades in Cripple Creek by "tipping ff a train wrecking plot, they developed that Orchard entered the employ of D. C. Scott, who had charge of the railway detectives. Orchard said that with Scott he had met K. C. Sterling, n detective iu the employ of the Mine Owners association, and that Scott had 3aid his expenses and accompanied Jiim to Denver on the trip when he first met Mover and Haywood. He aid that he agreed to report to Scott, "but that he was lying to him. never Intending to make reports to him, and

never did make reports. The defense eilso tried to ' show that because he e-tood in with the other side. Orchard was not molested by tbe militia in Cripple Creek. Orchard admitted

lhat Scott had told him that if the militia interfered with him he was to end for him. and that the militia nevr did interfere with him or search his house. More Crimes Added to List. Orchard said that he went to Scott first, because he had not been paid for liis work at the Vindicator mine and "was jealous because he was given hard work, like the Vindicator job. while lother men got the simple task of train wrecking by displacing a rail.

Two English, army officers had a thrilling adventure after making a balloon ascension in honor of Prince Fushimi of Japan.

mune from criminal prosecution as the result of his testimony before the interstate commerce commission recently the prosecution of bituminous carrying railroads should be left in the hands f the attorney general, and that the prosecution of the, anthracite coal roads will begin in Philadelphia probably next week, were 'conclusions reached at a conference at the White House last night.

Following the general conference Attorney General Bonaparte remained with,,. the president to discuss the socalled harvester trust. The anthracite roads involved include, the Delaware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill, the Philadelphia and Reading, the Lehigh Valley, the Delaware and Hudson, the New York, Susquehanna and Western, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Erie.

The Pennsylvania and one or two others may become involved as the suit progresses, but for the present no formal complaint will be filed against them. . A notable conference on trust prosecutions was held at the White House last night. Those who participated are President Roosevelt. Secretary of

State Root, Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou, Secretary of the Interior Garfield, Attorney General Bonaparte, Secretary Taft, Interstate Commerce Commissioners Knapp and Lane, and Frank B. Kellogg of St. Paul, special counsel for the government. Immunity for Harriman. The discussion took a very wide range. Much of the time was given to the Harriman-Alton deal. Every phase of that transaction was thoroughly gone over, and discussion was participated in more especially by the president, Mr. Kellogg, Attorney Gen

eral Bonaparte, Commissioners Knapp and Lane. The conclusion was prompt

ly reached that however damaging the

evidence might be against Mr. Harri

man, the testimony he had given in the interstate commerce investigation had given him complete immunity

from criminal prosecution. Secretary Loeb issued this state

ment at the conclusion of the confer

ence: "The conference was held for the purpose of affording ample discussion concerning the matters which have been under investigation by the interstate commerce commission. The interstate commerce commission has not formulated its report and its decision

will be purely preliminary. After a

report has been made the attorney

general will carefully consider it."
