"I tried to buy a shipload, but the negroes didn't know what money was and wouldn't take It. I traded some lits of iron and brass for a couple of tons of cocoanuts, but the thing that tickled them most was a couple of boxes of axle geitse.

With ten men In the box who have been pass ed for cause by both the prosecution and defense, the trial of Haywood was resumed this morning. It Is probable that not more than two or three of the Jurors now In the box will be allowed to remain after examination, with the privilege of a peremptory challenge. Is completed. This means that it will yet be some time before the trial Jury Is com pleted. The examination of talesmen In the selection of a jury to try Haywood to day developed the existence of prejudice against Harry Orchard. Under the examination by the de fense, Samuel Wingate, who was passed by the state, frankly said he was prejudiced against the unoffered testimony of Harry Orchard. Win- gate said he would absolutely refuse to accept Orchard s story. Judge wood sustained the state s challenge. The defense took excep tion. Later another talesman said he, too, would be unable to give the tes timony of Orchard the same credence that he would give the testimony of other witnesses. The indication of this feeling led the state to cover the point In the subsequent examination of all tales men. orchard charged with BEING A DETECTIVE, Boise. Idaho, May 15. Harry Or chard, who, the miners charge, Is but a hired detective of the operators, was born In New York state in 1862. Orphaned at an early age, he was raised by Mrs. Annie Hogan, a friend of the family, and took the name of Hogan. He graduated In the Schoo of Mines as a mineralogist and went to work In the mines at Butte. He was a gambler for several years and used the aliases Williams and Demp sey. Getting hard up, he staked his last quarter on a roulette wheel, won $400 and visited Couer d'Alene, Crip ple Creek and Denver, finally return Ing to Couer d'Alene. In 1899 he owned a fourth Interest In the Her cules mine, now worth $4,000,000 and he would now .be one of our il lustrious millionaires had he not solu IIARKY ORCHARD. his Hercules Interest for $300 cash and $300 in stock. At Cripple Creek he married a widow, Mrs. Tony, shortly before the Independence dy namiting. He deserted her. Further facts of his record are under lock and key, guarded by those now prose cuting the miners. Attorney Miller, who will defend the miners at Boise, says: "It Is the same old story. The mine owners are bending every energy and spend ing unlimited money In their effort to convict the federation officials for a murder for which an individual alone Is responsible. The same tac tics have been used in every dynamit ing trouble In the history of the bit ter war of the mine owners on or ganized labor. During the Colorado trouble the state spent $850,000 try ing to break up the federation. At Cripple Creek they caused Duo ar rests and secured no conviction. At Couer d'Alene they threw 750 min ers Into the bull pen and were able to convict only one." Detective McParland says: "I am absolutely sure of conviction. I was not sure when we went into court with the Molly Maguires, but we have corroboration of Orchard's chief con fession, which leaves no loophole for escape." DETECTI VI : M . P A I tl .

Mabel Gil man in becoming Mrs. Wm. Ellis Corey, has doubtless satisfied her highest ambition. At least for a while. As the bride of the president of the steel trust she has much that money will buy. But has she every thing? Only time will tell. Up to the present time, in the taint, ed romance of the former singer of "The Mocking Bird" and the Pitts burg multi-millionaire, money has played a pretty heavy part. But can It do everything? Will it open tlu doors of the socially exclusive? Will the actress be admitted within the sacred precincts of the limited 400? Will money do this for her? It has failed for any of the other musical comediennes who have married rich men, and even the few who have wedded men with high social posi tions have not been received by the ultra-ultras of New York and Xew- : port. Mabel Oilman, it is now clear, has I come to think Mint dollars, mnimtiifo 1 high, can accomplish much, but if the second Mrs. Corey is socially am bitious she may at last discover that other requisites than colossal wealth are necessary to gain admittance to the exclusive set of this city. Goull millions did not avail Katherme Clemmons. the actress; nor did wealth Minnie Ashley, who married Into the Astor family. It may be that the Coreys, despite the fact that they have taken a mag nificent residence In the midst tf "Millionaires' Mile," will be satisfied with the Waldorf set. Riches are always an open sesame Into this gay circle. The beauty of the women, their toilettes and jewels are the standards by which they are meas ured. Though the 400 may be ridi culed 1y the rest of the world, refine ment and cultivation are requisites as well as wealth. Thus far money has done much to gratify the longings and ambitions of Mabel Oilman. It easily secured a divorce for the man she wished to marry. The protesting voices of Corey's scandalized relatives have also been stilled. Money has been powerful to shield Mabel Oilman at the exclusive Gotham hotel where she was staying previous to her marriage. In the luxurious suite, No. 605,, that she occupied with her mother, Mrs. Jen nette Oilman, the was protected in every way from the vulgar curiosity of the public. Detectives, pages, por ters and bell boys swarmed th halls and corridors that no curious intruder ! could get a glimpse at the prospective bride of Wm. E. Corey. The telepehone girls, too, were un der strict orders to answer no ring unless the steel magnate was at the other end of the wire. Cards and notes to the actress were closely scrutinized. When she Went for a drive a cordon of hotel employes sur rounded here. 1 he rooms at the Gotham where Miss Oilman spent so much of hr time with Corey were always tilled with fiesh and costly flowers. They were the gifts of the prospective groom. Each morning a huge box of roses, lilies and carnations were sent to her apartments The presi dent of the steel company placed hU two motors at the disposal of his be trothed, and usually accompanied her upon her daily spin in the park.

Kellogg and Charles Sever ance, of the interstate commerce commission, concerning the Harrl- man railroad Investigation has been published here. It reviews the testimony and holds that railroad competition has been suppressed In an area equal to one- third of the United States: that con tracts between the Union Pacific and Hock Island for the control of the Al ton railway, as well, as contracts be tween the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific on the control of the Illinois Central and San Pedro roads, are all violations of the Sherman anti-trust act. It recommends that the attorney general institute proceedings to annul these agreements, and also recom mends that there should be new and effective laws to prevent Inflation of securities, and declares that the profits of the great railroads of the far west are being used to buy stocks and control systems In the east In stead of building more roads for the development of the west, as they should be.

San Francisco, May 15. One hun dred and fourteen cars of the United Railroads are being operated on seven lines In the city today, the routes be ing the same as yesterday, except that of the Halght street line, which has been extended from Nineteenth uve nue to the Cliff House. United Railroad officials make no secret of their Intention to re-arm their operatives if the lives of any of them are sacrlticed. 'in Sutter street the cars were fair ly well patronized. On the Turk and Eddy system -the patronage was very meager, a great many of the cars not carrying as many passengers as there were strike-breakers in attendance. Some of these cars passed along with out a single passenger. All the cars were In the barns before 6 o'clock at night, though tln-re was seemingly no reason w hy they should not have been run until nightfall, at least. No throwing of bricks or stones was reported. At Pierce and Scott streets some people threw eggs at some of the cars and escaped arrest. There was a good deal of Jeering and cries of "Scab! as the strike-breakers passed along. As a general tliintr the police kept the people moving. There was nothing In the nature of a mob una even Uov. Ulllctt'g colonels had to admit that the police preserved excellent order in the city. m VIB1 Oovernor Olllett is still of the opin ion that Chief of Police IMnau is not the man and seems bent upon hav ing the chief removed from his job. He rather holds over the mayor a threat that if he does not remove Dinan the militia will be brought in. Today the gowrnor called into con sultation Attorney Oeneral I'. S. Webb, Adjutant Oeneral I.auck. Col onel Edbeck. Colonel i.eorge Pippy and other tried inlliua veterans were consulted as to the legal steps and proclamations necessary to call In the militia.

May 15. When th trial opened today Attorney Ach re newed his motion for a change of venue. Judge Dunne denied the motion, but granted a recess until 2 o'clock in order that the attorneys might confer with Ruef "on a matter of considerable Importance." When the court reconvened Ruef entered a plea of guilty. Ruef's plea of guilty was to the charge of extortion on which the taking of testimony In his trial was about to begin. The specific charge In the Indict ment concerned the payment to Ruef of $1,175 by the proprietors of the Delmonlco French restaurant to se cure for the place permission to sell liquor In private rooms. This change on the part of the de fense from denial to confession Is said to be the result of an under standing reached between the prose cution and Schmltz. The report that Hchmlta had reach ed an understanding with the prose cution gained circulation yesterday and caused great excitement tn graft circles. Consternation reigned among the heals of the various departments of the city government, and there was much speculation as to Impend ing changes among the officials -who are personal appointees of the mayor. It Is expected that the fall of the mayor will bring a host of other seekers after immunity to the office of the district, attorney .with offers to confess and reform. But the sup ply of Immunity Is growing short and there may be many who will be bitterly disappointed. The report of the confession of Schmlts did not disturb the equanim ity of Patrick Calhoun, president of thn TTnlted Railroads. - Ha hid heard it early In 'Ue day, trls'.l ht t'--not credit it. he dt--ci.iftM rhat tt wss a matter of complete l-ulittercnt him what Schmlti might tell the. graft prosecution.

Further than this statement. Cal houn said he did not care to discuss the matter. Mayor Schmltz was in the city yes terday and spent the afternoon in his automobile, visiting Oolden Gate par and the beach. He adhered to his rule, refusing to discuss any matters bearing upon the graft situation. There were a number of anxious call ers at his residence during the after noon, among whom were many of ficials prominent in the city govern ment, who came to secure confirma tion of the report that he had Joined the ranks of the reformers. He did not see any of these callers, and re fused to answer any telephone In quiries. Abe Ruef was another who was much Interested in the report of the confession of the mayor, but. except to say that he did not believe it. ha refused to comment upon the mat ter.
