Washington, July 9.—Although
pretty well satisSed that the Japanese
admiral. Sakamoto, was not accurately
reported in his alleged criticism of the
personnel of the American navy, the offi
cials here have concluded that even if
the case was otherwise, the incident
would call for no official representations
on their part. As one of the officials put
it, the matter would be one for the
Japanese naval authorities to deal with,
and they would undoubtedly do so without

P
BOISE. Idaho. July 10.—The de
fense in the Steunenberg murder case
charged that Detective James Me-
Partland had been guilty of an at
tempt to manufacture testimony
against Wm. D. Haywood, but was un
successful in getting the basis and de
tails of the charge before the court
and jury. «
Alva A. Swain, a newspaper,, corre
spondent, who represents the Pueblo
Chieftain, at Denver, was called to the
stand and questioned as to a conversa
tion he had with Detective McPartland
in Denver last fall. Senator Borah for
the State, objected to the conversa
tion on the ground that no foundation
had been laid for it.
Clarence Darrow, for the defense,
who was examining Swain, explained
that the testimony was offered for the
purpose of shownig that there existed
conspiracy between the mine owners
and the Pinkertons to secure a convic
tion and execution of the prisoner.
‘McPartland approached this wit
ness in an attempt to manufacture
testimony.” he declared, “and I be
lieve we have a right tc show it.”
Judge Wood said there was nothing
in the evidence that furnished proper
foundation for the introduction of such
testimony and sustained the State’s
objection. The defense took an excep
tion and, said they would later make
another attempt to secure the admis
sion of Swain’s testimony. Counsel
for the defense are evidently counting
on reaching the matter through Mc
Partland himself, but it is,quite prob
able that the State will not call Mc
Partland as a witness.
It is claimed by the defense that
McPartland told Swain that he had a
letter from Harry Orchard saying that
when Haywood paid him for the Vin
dicator job. he took him to one of the
Denver banks to draw the money and
that when they came out of the bank.
Swain was standing at the door and
saw them. It is said that Swain told
McPartland that he could not remem
ber the incident, whereupon McPart
land Impressed him with the import
ance of it as evidence and significantly
urged him to recall it and become a
witness in the case.
Detective McPartland denies that he
ever suggested anything improper to
Swain. He says he got the letter de
scribed by Orchard, who wrote that
Swain was at the door of the bank on
the day in question, there being a run
on the bank, and that he believed
Swain might have remembered having
seen them. He says that when he went
to see Swain the later said that he
would not tell whether he remembered
the incident or not, and asked for an
other interview.
McPartland declares that he there
dropped the matter and did not see
Swain again.
Allen F. Gill, formerly master me
chanic of the Tiger and Poor Mhn’s
Mine, and later city engineeer of Spo
kane, and his wife, Mrs. Gill, were also
witnesses for the defense today and
jointly related that Harry Orchard as-
tempted to sell them his interest in the
Hercules Mine in February and March,
1S99, which was just prior to his de
parture for the Couer D'Alenes. and
Mr. Gill who saw Orchard in Spokane
a month before he killed Steunenberg.
testified that Orchard said that it was
because of Steunenberg that he lost
his interests in the Hercules. Other
than for the Interest and relief afford
ed by the introduction of the three wit
nesses named, the entire day was given
over to the reading of the rest of the

Laura Carter, in receiving and dis
posing of $5,000 stolen from the Wind
sor Trust Co. by Chester B. Runyan,
Kirkstein Is. the man for whom the
police have been looking for several
days.
Kirkstein says that he lived with
Mrs. Carter in West Sixty-sixth

Carter telephoned him to meet her,
which he did. She told him. he said

said he advised her to take the money
to the Trust Company and tdll the of
ficials where Runyan was. She re
plied. Kirkstein said, that she would
return the money to Runyan and
then give him up.
Runyan was arraigned in court to
day and his counsel entered a plea
of not guilty and asked for an ad
journment until Monday. He said he
had been informed that the prisoner's
grandmother had died In an insane
asylum and that Mrs. Runyan be
lieved her husband's mind was affect
ed.

NEGROES DEATH RATE
EXCEEDS THAT OF WHITES
RICHMOND. Va.. July 9.—The death
rate among the negro population in
nine cities of Virginia during the
month of May last far exceeded that of
the whites in the same places, accord
ing to the State health bulletin issued
today. The nine cities contain a pop
ulation of 197,015 whites and 124,940
negroes, the deaths among the former
being only 254 as against 315 amongst
the latter. In other words the negro
•population in the cities mentioned is
only about five-eighths of that of the
whites, while the deaths among the
negroes are nearly one-fourth larger
than that of the whites.
Postal Only One
That Ever Competed
NEW YORK, July 9.—Clarence Me
kay, president of the Postal Telegraph
Cable Co., declared today that "all
this talk about the Western Union
Telegraph Co and the Postal Tele'
graph Cable Co. working in harmony
is nonsense.”
"If two companies ever competed in
the United States,” he said, these two
companies .are cobpeting. and the
competition is fierce and bitter.” Mr.
Maekay's satement was made
commenting on the action of Attorney
General Wm. S. Jackson, of New York,
who yesterday asked a justice of the
New York State Supreme court
appoint a referee to secure evidence
that the Western Union and Postal
companies have formed a combina'
tion in restraint of competition.
Mr. Mackay said: “If two compan
ies ever competed in the United
States, these two telegraph companies
are competing and always have been
At times the competition is even
fierce and bitter. Every merchant
and manufacturer in the United
States, wherever we reach, will bear
witness to the truth of this state
meat.
‘“fate are litigating with the West
ern Union ail over the country in re
gard to rights of way. In fact, the
tremendous fight between the Penn
sylvania Rail Road and the Western
Union was due solely to the fact that
we got the business away from the
Western Uhion.
'The Western Union is trying to
exclude us from all union depots and
have just succeeded in excluding us
from the Birmingham union depot
which is perhaps the finest union de
pot in this country at ipresent, and we
intend to. take the matter into the
courts to set aside the monopolistic
contract between the Birmingham
Union Depot Company and the West
ern Union." ,
Mr. Mackay called attention to the
cable tp Havana which the Postal
Company is now laying to its At
lanticr cable land lines and a new
route which he said the company was
about to construct through the Ne
vada gold fields to the Pacific coast
as evidence of that company's compe
tition with the Western Union. He
added:
‘We are the only company that ev
er did really compete with the West
ern. Union and succeeded in doing
so.”

with> his blood-thirsty band, while at
tending . a celebration at Cache under

Ml SESSION FOR
WIM UWW
MONTGOMERY, Ala., July 9.—The ad
journed or July Session of the Legislature
opened today, the reading of the message
of the Governor taking up most of the
time of the first session. The fact that
the Governor has withdrawn opposition
to the repeal of the tax on foreign money
loans and there being no objection on the
part of the administration to the election
of John H. Bankhead to succeed Senator
Morgan, deceased, leads to the conclu
sion that the session will be brief.
In the Senate, Mr. Reese, of Dallas,
presented a resolution providing that the
State place a bronze statue of the late
John T. Morgan, United States Senator,
in Statuary Hall, Washington.
In his message. Gov. Comer complained
about the holding up of the State rail
road laws by injunction In the Federal
Court, pointing out that very much the
same idea has been worked out in other
States, especially in Iowa.
He said:
“Discrimination has been proven and it
is a great hardship for Alabama to be
forced to go through court processes on
a cdse already pioneered and worked
out and demonstrated.”
The Governor voiced the approval of the
law equalizing taxes, expecting It .to
make the large lan/i, and property holder
pav his share of the taxes and asserted
that watered stock of railroads is being
used to justify the-earning of greater
dividends, these latter' on "dead” stuff
which is made tp “fructify” out of noth
ing.
The message used strengthening the
child labor law. with which, being him
self a big cotton mill owner, the Governor
is quite familiar.
JAPANESE-AMERfCAN
RELATIONS STRAINED
The deep, underlying: cause of every old sore Is a bad condition of the
blood. This vital fluid has become infected with some germ or poison which
prevents the place from healing. This infection may be the result of an in
active, sluggish condition of the system leaving the refuse matter in the
body to be absorbed into tbe circulation instead of throwing it off through
the usual channels of nature. Another cause is the weakening or polluting
of this life-stream from hereditary taints, or from the effects of a long spell
of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system. When the blood is in this
condition a Sore cannot heal because the impurities with which the circula
tion is filled are being constantly discharged into the place to irritate and
inflame the tissues and further disease the surrounding flesh. The only
treatment that can do any good is one that removes the cause, and for this
purpose nothing equals S. S. S. It begins at the fountain head of the trouble
and drives out all germs, impurities and poisons, and then the place, being
supplied with rich, pure blood, heals naturally and permanently. Local ap
plications assist in cleansing the place, but a cure can only be affected
through a purification of the blood. Book on Sores and Ulcers and any

LONDON, July 9.—The correspond
ent of the Daily Telegraph at The
Hague, sends in a column dispatch
which purport^ to reflect the views
prevailing there on £he Japanese-
American situation which he declares
to be more adsorbing than the confer
ence itself. The correspondent says
that as a resiilt of his inquiries he
learns that the situation is really
strained, although both governments
are trying to copceal the facts. He as
serts that since June 20, the question
has entered upon an acute phase. Ja
pan has been sending the United States
extremely categorical notes stating
without bitterness, but in the clearest
terms the dilemma that unless Wash
ington is able to control California, Ja
pan will consider herself free to act
directly with California. Nothing yet
has been exchanged precluding a Pa
cific settlement.' buE inany of the Jap
anese at The Hague are of the opinion
that the Japanese government ought to
act without delay, and'not give Ameri
ca time to utilize her vast resources
and" economic potentiality, a hundred
fold greater than Japan’s, to perfect
warlike preparations.
In an editorial article the Telegraph
says it does not'identify with'the state
ments of the correspondent at The
Hague, believing them "to''be charged
with undue dependency.
At the same' time, - the- paper con
tinues, they are made upon a notable
authority and .they cannot be read
without profound uneasiness.
The Telegraph is convinced, however,
that the statesmanship of both coun
tries will be strong enough and the in
stinct of the two great nations sane
enough to hold mad chauvinism in
leash,
“Nevertheless,* the paper declares.
It is impossible to deny the danger of
the situation. ’The present peace con
ference. for its opening- has created
disagreement and friction tending to
make worse instead of. improving the
relations of the powers. The last as
sembly at The Hague .was followed by
great conflicts, so we can only pray
that the present one may not he suc
ceeded by more terrible calamities.’’
In conclusion, after a full discussion
of the points of difference, the Tele
graph declares it is not a color ques
tion, but fundamentally an economic
one.
It says further:.
“We trust our allies will take it at
that an realize that the point of na
tional honor has been accidentally
caught up with the problem, but is not
permanently involved in it. Any at
tempt to settle the'question by arms,
whatever the immediate issue, would
mean sooner or. later, a.hundred years’
conflict.”
PHILADELPHIA, July 9.—The execu
tive committee of the Universal Peace
Union, at a meeting here today, placed
itself on record as opposed to- sending
a fleet of warshius to the Pacific ocean.
The committee adopted the following res
olution:
’In view of the feeling existing in in
ternational relations between Japan and
the Government of the United States, we
regard the proposition as reported, of
sending a fleet Of battleships to the Pa
cific border as unwise, inopportune and
irritating, especially as the second P'ace
eonfe%-nce is How fn' session at The
Hague, where are assembled over 250
delegates representing 45 Governments,
with a large and eminently" able delega
tion from the United States, and with rep
resentatives from. Japan.
“Be’ieving that ' such an action
calculated to impair, if not to destroy,
the anticipated results' of said conference
and lead more tp war than to- peace, we
appeal to President Roosevelt to with
hold any such demonstration.”
EDWARD III. PARDONS TEDDY BEARS MENACE
COL. AMUR LYNCH: MOTHERLY INSTINCTS
LONDON. July 9.—On the eve of
his visit to Ireland. King Edward has
granted a free pardon to Col. Arthur
Lynch, who was convicted of high
treason in 1902 for having fought in
the Irish brigade on the side of the
Boers in the South African War.
Col. Lynch was sentenced to death
for high treason in 1903. His sen
tence later was commuted to impris
onment for life, and in January, 1904.
he was released “on license.”
Lynch was born in Australia of
Irish parents. After studying at Mel
bourne University and Berlin Univers
ity, Lynch went to Galway, where he
plunged into party politics. After sus
taining a defeat at the polls in the
Parliamentary election of 1892 he
went to London and engaged in jour
nalistic work yhich he followed until
the Boer war broke out. He was in
strumental in raising the Irish brig
ade which fought on the side of the
Boers. While in Paris after his re
turn from South Africa, Lynch was
elected to Parliament by Galway City
and returned to England with the in
tention of taking his seat in the
House of Commons. He was arrest
ed on landing in England, and his
trial, .conviction and sentence for high'
treason followed.
TBE BLUE AND GRAY
TO MEE T AT EXPO.
NORFOLK. Va., July 9.—The man
agement- of the Jamestown Exposition
has announced that July 16 has been
decided Upon as the National Veterans’
Association the Blue and the Gray and
their Sons day, and that a fitting pro
gram for the day has been arranged.
The meetings of the Association will
be held in the convention room of the
press building, the morning session
lasting from 9 to 12 o’clock, and the
afternoon from 3 to 7, at which time
such business as the body have to
transact will be disposed of. There
will be a parade of the old veterans
and their sons, at which time music
will be furnished by some of the many
bands stationed at the exposition. An
entertainment will be tendered them
in the evening.
The purpose of this new organiza
tion which was formed March 29, 1906,
in Atlanta, Ga., is to bring together in
spirit of 'brotherly love the survivors
of the armies of Grant and Lee, in or
der that there may be a recognized
union of the people of the North and
South. That every American jpldier,
whether he wore the blue or the gray,
may, by coming in contact with each
other, learn that after all they are
both American citizens, and thereby
prove to the world at large that is
united nation that sectionalism no
longer holds sway, that veterans of 61-
65, whether they lived in the North
or South, are united today, tomorrow
and forever. The association is rap
idly, growing both in favor and num
bers, and it is expected that the meet
ing at the Jamestown Exposition will
be largely attended by old soldiers from
all parts of the country.
ST. JOSEPH, Mich., July 9.—The
“Teddy Bear” fad was severely scored
by Rev. Richard G. Esper from the
pulpit in St. Joseph’s Catholic church
today. The priests held that the toy
beasfs in the hands of little girls were
destroying all instincts of motherhood
and in the future would be realized a
powerful factor in race suicide.
Father Esper spoke earnestly to his
congregation for fifteen minutes on the
subject, exhorting all parents to re
place the doll in the affections of child
ren. “There is something natural.”
said he, "in the care of a doll by a
little child. It is the first manifesta
tion of the feeling of motherhood. In
the development of these tnotherly in
stincts lies the 'hope of all nations. It
is a monstrous crime to do anything
that' will tend to destroy these in
stincts. That is what the Teddy Bear
is doing, and that is why it is’ going
to 'be a factor in the race suicide prob
lem if it is not suppressed. It is ter
rible enough that the present genera
tion of parents in this country are
leading us into grave danger. If we
cannot awaken them, let us at least
save Fie future generations.”

OAKLAND, Cal.,. July 9.—Secretary
the Navy Metcalf deprecates the
arlike aspect that has been given the
order of the cruise of the great bat
tleshlp squadron from the Atlantic to
the Raciflc coast. The Secretary said
last night that the proposed movement,
was that of a practice cruise and that
the fleet" would not. be ' kept in the
Pacific permanently. He declared that
the length of time that the fleet would
remain on the western side of the con
tinent had not-yet been decided.
With considerable emphasis the Sec
retary voiced his opinion that the war
like interpretation that had been made
in connection with the fleet’s move
ment was not justified by the facts.
In fact the widely pubiished reports
suggesting hostile preparations seem
to be a source of irritation for the
head of the navy. He said:
"The fleet which will be moved from
the Atlantic to the Pacific this winter
is coming to this side merely on
practice cruise.: The fleet will consist
of sixteen or more vessels, not more
than twenty, afid 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 de
termined at the proper time.
“There is no sound reason or excuse
for all this talk by the public and
through the pr^ss of an -attempt to
overawe Japan by a warlike naval dis
play. I do not believe the newspapers
are justified or-’right in so construing
and coloring the cruise of the warships
to the Pacific.” i

Conductor Failed
to Observe Orders
VALDOSTA, Ga., July 9.—Two extra
freight trains on the Atlantic Coast
Line collided, head-on, last night about
10 o’clock, at Blue Springs, ten miles
west of here. The west bound train was
running at*a rate of fifteen miles an
hour, while the eastbound was running
about thirty-five miles an hour.
Engineer W. A. Weils was in charge
of the eastbound engine and Engineer
Sasser was on the west bound. En
gineer Wells sustained serious injuries
by being thrown from his engine, his
left leg being broken. Engineer Sass
er’s injuries were only slight. T. J.
Johns, a flagman and son of Sheriff
Johns, of Jasper, Fla., was caught 'be
tween the engine and tender and
crushed to death. Two negro brake-.
men, George Cunningham and Simeon
Wright were seriously injured.
Two negroes who were stealing a ride '
on the top of the train were'thrown off.
one of them. George Everett, being
killed, the other one being badly hurt
and his leg broken.
Drs. Little and Harris went out from
this city to look after the injured.
They were accompanied by Agent J. J.
Harris, of this place, who gave all of
the assistance possible. The body of
young Johns was brought to this city
and will be carried to Jasper for inter
ment. The body of the dead negro,
Everett, was carried to Quitman. En
gineer Wells was carried to Thomas-
ville and the other injured ones were
sent to the hospital at Waycross.
The financial loss from the wreck
will be heavy- About twenty cars were
piled one upon -the other and both en
gines were demolished. One freight
car was thrown on ,top of the eastbound
engine by the terrific impact. The cars
were loaded -with lumber and watermel
ons.
It is said that the wreck was caused
by the failure of the westbound con
ductor to observe his orders. The twa
trains ought to have met at Ousley sta
tion, where the westbound should have
gone into the siding. It failed to do
this and the wreck occurred just be
yond the Withlacoochee river bridge,
on a sharp curve and heavy grade.
The tracks there have been 'blocked
all day and transfers of passengers
have been made.
