GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
SAW MILL MEN MEET
FERNANDINA. Fla.. June 18.—The
meeting of the Georgia-Florida Saw
Mill Association in this city today
was regarded as an Important one.
The reports from the mills showed the
most deplorable situation existing
since the organization of the assocla
tlon, and it was practically decided
that curtailing the output was essen
tlal. This question brought a great
deal of. discussion, but there were
none who did not concur with the
view that the sawmill men. must do
something to meet the general de
cline of prices of lumber and the
other features which have militated
against the Industry for the past year.

letter under date of Lincoln. Neb..
June 15, In which Mr. Bryan says: “I
am sorry that Governor Hughes, of
New York, vetoed the two-cent rate
bill. He simply gives the benefit of
the doubt to the railroads instead of
to the people, and that, too where the
roads were protected by an appeal to
the courts, whereas the people have
no appeal.
“His veto shows how difficult regu
lation Is when the roads have such
an enormous influence in politics. But
the traveling men ought not to be dis
couraged. It takes time to secure
reforms, but reforms come—the next
governor of New York will not veto

Mr. Bryan said:

The three letters written by Orchard
were commonplace, and contained
nothing bearing on the case or Orch
ard’s testimony except reference to the
arrangement which Orchard says he
made with the federation officers for
the care of his wife, while he was
absent.
The defense attacked the letter and
Orchard’s story about them, when It
got a chance to cross-examine the
witness, but Orchard held to the story
he told about them. The witness de
nied that he had made an arrange
ment for the delivery of the letters to
Pinkerton agents; that the letters had
only made their appearance since he
left the stand last week, or tha't he
had invented the story because his
wife had Haywood's letter in her pos
session. He swore positively that Hay
wood had agreed to write the Alaska
letter and that Pettibone and Moyer
knew of the arrangement.
Alleged Pettibone Letter.
Beside the four San Francisco and
Alaska letters, the State procured the
admission of a certified copy of an un

Caldwell jail and which Orchard
swears was in the handwriting of Pet

have taken It back any time up to his
flight from North Idaho before the on
coming troops, but Orchard adhered to
the statement that he sold outright
There was a long contest over an ef
fort by the State to show that the con

untary. It maintained that Adams
had once discussed the matter freely
with Attorneys Hawley and Borah, but
that was about as far as it got, the
court sustaining a series of objections
from the defense.
At the opening of the morning ses
sion, the defense asked Orchard i
series of impeaching questions. They
all dealt with conversations In which
It was alleged Orchard recited his pri
vate grudge against Frank Steunen

him If he hanged for It. Orchard de
nied every query, both specifically and
generally.
E. D. Boyce, once president of the
Western Federation of Miners and
now one of the owners of the rich Her

was still on the stand when the court
rose for the day. He was called to

The Georgia Railway and Electric

returns of that corporation for Geor

The comptroller general likewise
wrote the officials of the Central of
Georgia that according to the sworn
