Boise, Id., July 9.—The reading of depositions covering the Bradley ex-! Plosion in San Francisco, claimed by Harry Orehard as one of his crimes, but disputed by the defense, as the | result of gas leakage, again occupied | the entire morn session of the | Haywood ty.

Sen- at Borah, who oa Monday th» task of reading with Attorney Ci »once Darrow ef the de! "se was in posed and the prosecution's por- ties of the burden fell on Mr. Haw- lev. T>o day began with a continuance of the ‘ostimony of J. B. Reilly, who lived newr the Bradley apartments in Washington street. Reilly declared he had passed th tment house but a few : s hefore tie explo sion and a Japanese servant cleaning the stoop and vestibule. He did not believe it was within tha range of possibility for any one to have placcd a bomb there in the manner indicated by Orenard in the time which elapsed between his passing and thé report of the’ ex- plosion. Orchard testified that after placing the bomb he boarded a street car and got out of hearing before the explosion occurred, The next deposition taken up was that of Mrs. Charles Pickard, who as Mrs, Crow had been employed by the Bradleys as cook. She told of having smelled gas in the house for several days prior to the explosion and called up the gas company to complain of it, John J. Eckelman, a member of the San Francisco fire department, who was with the company which re- sponded to a fire alarm following the explosion at the Bradley house told of smelling gas strongly when he ar- rived at the scene. The explosion was not a sharp report, as he remem- bered it, but a loud roar. Several other members of the fire department gave testimony similar to that of Eckelman. One of these, John W. Parry, said he had had con- siderable experience with dynamite explosions and they differed in sound and effect from that at the Bradley apartment. All of the firemen said they heard but one explosion, Parry declared that the explosion at the Bradley apartment was louder than most gas explosions he had heard. Joseph Vincent De La Veaga, an attorney of San Francisco, who occu- pied the apartment directly under the Bradleys, told in his deposition of having smelled gas in the vestibule of the house six or seven days prior to the explosion.

NOT AN ATTEMPT TO OVERAWE JAPANESE Mr. Metcalf Irritated by the Con- stant Misinterpretation of the Or der by the Newspapers—War- ships Are Not to Remain in the Pacific Permanently. Oakland, Cal, July 9.—Secrefary of the Navy Metcalf deprecates the warlike aspect that has been given the order for the cruise of the sreat battlesh!p squadron from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. The secretary said that the proposed movenient was that of a practice cruise and that the fleet would not be kept in the Paci- fic permanently. He declared that the length of time that the fleet weuld remain on the western side of the continent had not yet been de- elded. With considerable emphasis secretary voiced his opinion that the warlike interpretation that hed been the made in connection with the fleet's move sent was not justified »y the facts. In fact, the widely pu lished reports suggesting hostle >» tions, seems to be a source of i: rita tion for the head of the navy. He antd: ‘Tuc Moe, which will be moved from the Atlantic to the Pa» ‘ic winter is coming to this om a practice cruise. Tne «+t 3 ist of 16 or more Vessels, not more than 20, and its stay on this side will not be permanent. Of course, the fleet will not come here, turn around and go right back again. How long it will remain in the Pacific will be determined at the proper time. “There is mo sound reason or ex- cuse for all this talk by the public and through the press of an attempt to overawe the Japanese by a war- like naval display. I do not believe that the newspapers are justified or right in so construing and coloring the cruise of the warships to the Pa- cific. “Every year the Atlantic fleet has been sent on a cruise. Last year it was sent to Guantanamo. This year it will be ordered to the Pacific. The long cruise will give the men and the vessels a thorough test and improve the efficiency of both.” Washington, July 9.—Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, has been deferring his departure from this city for his summer vacation in anticipation of the arrival of Admir- al Yamamota, who is expected to reach New York soon from Europe. The admiral, who is one of the four officers of the Japanese navy hold- ing that rank, is on his way home to Japan, but will spend some time in the United States before sailing from San Francisco or Seattle.

The admiral is accom- panied by several Japanese officers. An opportunity will be afforded the ~*sitors to go through some of fhe big manufacturing and shipbuilding establishments if they care to do so, ag it has been unofficially stated this was one of the purposes of the brief stay in the United States.

The city council refased a twenty year telephone franchise to H. Rein- helmer at the Monday night meeting. ‘| The Council, in our jadgment, acted with wisdom in the matter. We can gee no good. reason why the city should be tied up for a long term of years to one man.
