Chanceller Day Makes Sensational At- tack Upon Roosevelt. New York, June 11.—Chancellor Day of Syracuse university, in a bacca- laureate sermon, attacked President Roosevelt as an autocrat who was overriding the judicial and legislative denartments of the government. He said judges appointed by the presi- dent are sitting upon cases he already has passed his opinion upon.

Chicagn, June 11.—The Packing- house Teamsters’ union Las served notice on the packers at the Union stock yards that if they did not take some action .for an advance in wages to the teamsters by June 15 a strike will result. The teamsters demand an advance of 4 cents an hour. The gen- eral opinfon among the men is that some agreement will be reached and that it will not be necessary to strike. Little do you know what a glorfously uncertain thing the law is.--Plautus. the Duluth newspapers say he will play “outlaw” baseball with Hibbing, or some other strong amateur team. Summers is not up to the standard _ | of the Hibbing infielders, and he’s not reliable; he plays the game, plays it good, only when he feels like it. No City Water Tomorrow. Notice is hereby given that the city water mains will be shut off to- morrow afternoon at one o’clock and remain so until needed repairs will be made to the water mains, which may take the entire after- noon. By order of the street commissioner, James R. Miller, Street Commissioner. FLAGRANT TREATY VIOLATION Japanese Adopt Resolution Regarding Frisco Assaults. Tokio, June 11.—The council of the Progressives, at a metting here, adopt- ed a resolution, the substance of which was as follows: “The anti-Japanese feeling upon the Paclfic coast of the United States, es- pecially in San Francisco, culminated in an assault upon Japanese trading places last month, constituting a most flagrant violation of the rights guar- anteed by the treaty concluded upofi an equal footing between the two na- tions. “These anti-Japanese acts are not of a temporary nature and the federal government at Washington must be held responsible for its failure to pre- vent such outrages. “The attitude of our government to-, wards that in Washington has so far been unsatisfactory to the nation and it is necessary that proper steps should be taken by our government in order to maintain the national dig- nity and permanently insure the safety of the rights and property of our com- patriots in America.” BIG ORDER FOR STEEL CARS Contracts Placed for Six Thousand in Two Days. Pittsburg, June 11.—Contracts for the construction of 6,000 steel. cats, aggregating in cost $6,500,000, have been placed within the past forty-eight hours by the United States Steel cor- poration.

Most of us are guilty of sins of omis- plon because they involve less effort than the other kind. CONTINUES ON STAND Harry Orchard Still Under Cross- Examination 4t Boise. TRAGEDY AT INDEPENDENCE Difense Atter;zpts to Show That Out- rage Was Planned by Enemies of Miners and Was Intended to Be a Comparatively Harmless Affair. Boise, Ida., June 11.—The attorneys of William D. Haywood, continuing their cross-examination of Harry Or- chard, are making a strong attempt to show' that the Independence station outrage, instead of being procured by the Western Federation of Miners, was a “plant” of the enemies of the organization intended to be-compara- tively harmless and converted by mis- chance into & great tragedy. Orchard had testified that he and Adams pulled the trigger of the mine before the train reached the station and the de- fense seeks to make it appear that it was planned to blow up the station, not only before the train arrived but before the nonunion men working in the neig 2 mines eame down to the train. Orchard, in explanation of his act in setting off the mine before the train arrived, swore that Sherman Parker of the Western Federation of Miners had a friend on the trala, one Bush, who had previously heen a friendly witaess in a train wrecking case, ani asked that care be taken not to injure him. Orchard also denled that the mine owners or the railroad detectives had planned the explosion. The defense had previously shown that, as far as the witness knew, Moy- er, Haywood and Pettibone had noth- ing to do with the Vindicator plot and that Moyer and Haywood had nothing to do with planning the murder of Lytle Gregory. Orchard said he believed that they were parties to both plans, but he could“not, of his own knowledge, say that they were. The defense made attempts to show that Orchard is testifying under the coaching and control of Detective Me- Partland, but this the witness denied with spirit, saying McPartland and Attorney Hawley had cautioned him to tell ncthing but the truth. In the course of the cross-examina- tion Orchard admitted he had burned his cheese factory near Brighton, in Canada, and collected $600 insurance. SENDS MESSAGE TO BOIES Western Federation of Miners in Ses- sion at Denver. Denver, June 11.—Two hundred del- egates to the fifteenth annual con- vention of the Western Federation of Miners were present here when Act- ing President. C. E. Mahoney called the convention to ords The con- vention sent the following telegram to Messrs. Moyer, Haywood and Pet- tibone at Boise: “Fifteenth annual convention sends t of your innocence e are with you until your honor is vindicated and your freedom as- sured.” MAY REFUSE TO TESTIFY. Alleged Associate of Orchard Arrives at Boise. June 11.—Steve Adams, ciate of Harry Orchard in some of his crimes, has reached Boise in cha of a deputy. Adams was accompenied by his attorney, John Worms of Wallace, Shoshone county. It is bel d that Adams hag made up his mind to refuse to testity when he is placed on the stand. Ad- ams was placed in a cell in the county jail adjoining that occupied by Hay- wood, Moyer and Pettibone. AERONAUT IS DROWNED. Balloonist Loses Life in the Minne- sota River.

Mr. Gould has announced that his annual income is about $600,000 from a fortune of $12,000,000. Mrs. Gould says that she can prove that her hus- band owns and has an interest in properties which bring his income up to more than $1,000,000. Upon this basis Mrs. Gould has decided to ask the court to allow her $250,000 a year alimony. BLAMES NEWSPAPER MEN Taft Says He Was Forced to Become “ Presidential Candidate.
