LITTLE TO SAY ON POLITICS Believes a Revision of the Tariff Should Be Made, but Does Not Care to Express Himself as to the Meth: ods of Reaching Such a Revision. Minneapolis, June 14.—William H. Taft, secretary of war, gave the com- mencement address at the University of Minnesota, 'There was some senti- ment back of his appearance in this city, as President Cyrus Northrop of the university was formerly one of the secretary’s instructors at Yale. His address on “The College Graduate as a Political Asset of the State and Na- tion” was a careful review of the obli- gations of the educated citizen, who was portrayed as a leavening factor in his community. The speaker did not hesitate to advise his hearers to get into practical politics and even went so far as to indicate how it might be possible to smash a political slate. ln the evening Secretary Taft was the guest of honor at a dinner given at the Minneapolis club. During his stay in Minneapolis he is the guest of former Senator William D. Washburn, where Senator Albert J. Beveridge is a guest. Mr. Beveridge disclaimed any political significance for his own visit and so does Secretary Taft, chougn the coincidence of their visits here hasoccasioned some speculation. Before starting for the university Secretary Taft-gave an interview to several newspaper men, but avoided any explicit statement on public ques- tions. ple of the Northwest, being tariff re- visionists, would be glad to hear a rather explicit statement from him on that subject. “I declared my views on that sub- ject about two years ago at Bath, Me.,” Mr. Taft replied. “I have noth- ing to add to the statements I made then. I believe that business condi- tions have changed since our present protective tariff law was enacted and that a revision of the schedules on a protective basis should be made.” “Would you favor a permanent tar- iff commission, such as Senator Bev- eridge is talking about?” “I would rather not express myself any further,” answered the secretary, smiling. “As to the means of reach- ing revision and the details of it I have nothing to say.” JAP NEWSPAPERS WARNED Must Not Publish Inflammatory News on American Question.

D., June 14.—In antici- pation that the defense would outline Its case and commence the introdue- tion of testimony the courtroom was crowded when court reconvened to re- sume the trial of the Kaufmann mur- der case. ‘Judge Frank R. Aikens, of Mrs. Kaufmann’s counsel, made the opening statement of the defense. “We deny- everything;~ there is” our de- fense,” said Judge Aikens. “There is not enough evidence to convict the de- fendant,” he added, “even if no ex- planation was made. - “There was not a wound,” Judge Aikens continued, “on the body of Ag- nes Polreis; not a wound as that term is accepted generally.” He stated the evidence of the defense would estab- lish that the sores or wounds dupli- [l cated on each shoulder, on the shoul- der Dblades, on the elbows, on the knees and those on the feet and toes were the result of the disease known as diabetes; that this same disease would account for the blood clot found on the girl’s brain.

ILLEGALLY PLACED IN PRISON: Defense Gives Solemn Tone to the Scené Preceding the Meeting Be- tween ‘the Witness and Detective McParland, the Pinkerton. Boise, Ida., June 14.—After with- standing with marvelous strength of nerve and muscle a week’s examina- tion that was one prolonged confession of crime Harry Orchard during the day broke down and for a few mo- ments wept like a child. His unnerv- ing came with the story of his con- version and confession and the men- tion of. King David, murderer, the Biblical figure which is supposed to be Drehard’s later guide. The defense had given solemn tone to the scene preceding the meeting between Orchard and Detective Mec- Parland, to whom he confessed, by showing that Orchard was first ille- gally brought to the penitentiary and th into almost- solitary confine- ment.” His only cell neighbor was Bob Wetter, a condemned murderer. Then came the first McParland inter- view and the story of David and Uriah. Orchard just before the noon adjournment, ‘in low and"shaken tones, told of his conversion. How, when in the penitentiary, in thought over his past life, he meditated on putting himself out of the way and that he onght to make a clean breast of it all. He said he had come to feel that the grave did not end it all. The story was told to a hushed courtroom, the silence only being broken by the drone of Orchard’s voice. Orchard also testified that he was a Mason when he lived in Canada and a member of the Colborn lodge. Orchard continued his story of the confession to McParland at the after- noon session, beginning with the con- templation of suicide. He testified that he promised McParland if Steve Adams was arrested and put in the same cell with him he would try-to have him make a confession. In the course of his testimony Orchard said: “It had always been the talk among Haywoed, Moyer and the members of the Western Federation of Miners that if any one coughed up anything about the federation it would not be good for them.” ORCHARD MEETS PEABODY Shrinks From Taking Hand of Man He Tried to Kill. Boige, Ida., June 14—Former Gov- ernor Peabody and - Harry Orchard met face to face in the office of J. H. Hawley a few minutes cZter the recess was taken at noon. Orchard, while plainly nervous from the strain of the morning’s examination, had recovered his equanimity and was speaking to one of the men who had accompanied him from the courthouse when the governor entered. Orchard recognized him at once. As Mr. Peabody approached the man who, had hunted him for a year seeking an opportunity to kill Orchard’s face changed. “He shrank back and trem- bled. The former governor smilingly held out hiS hand, saying: “How are you, Orchard?” Orchard broke down completely- He said: “I am ashamed to look at you, sir; I am ashamed to speak to you.” The governor reassured him in a few words and Orchard replied: “l am thankful that I did not kill you and am spared the thought of that crime.” IMMENSE DAMAGE TO CROPS Kentucky Experiences Third Cloud- burst in a Week.
