Outside of features arranged in con nection with the celebration of Geor gia day, the military and naval spec tacle was not greatly dissimilar to that which marked the visit of the president when the exposition was thrown open on April 26. He will be the guest of the exposition for about nine hours. He arrived with special party, including Mrs. Roosevelt, on the Mayflower at 8:20 this morning. After receiving Georgia officials on board and with them as his guests, reviewing fleets assembled in Hamp ton Roads, he was landed at the ex position grounds at about 11 o’clock. Atlanta, Ga., Thursday June 13, 1907. He made two speeches, one as part of the Georgia day exercises, and the other at the convention of the Na tional Editorial Association. He received a parade of military and naval forces, visited the negro ex hibit, participated in the presentation of the silver service by the state of Georgia to the battleship named for her, attended a reception given at the< Georgia building by Georgians in honor of himself and Mrs. Roosevelt; and visited informally the New York State building. The weather provided another Roosevelt day. It was a distinguished party that, reviewed the assembled war vessels from the Mayflower. Immediately up on the arrival of that vessel the party of Secretary of the Navy Metcalf was transferred from the Dolphin. Others; to join the president were Governor J. M. Terrell, of Georgia, and W. N. Mitchell, of the Georgia State com mission. Judge Gabbert, Mrs. Peabody and Bradley Say His Statements Fit in With Incidents. Denver, June 7. —Supreme Justice W. H. Gabbert says that Harry Or chard’s testimony fits in quite exactly with the incidents connected with the killing of Wally by the bomb intended lor him. Mrs. James H. Peabody, wife of the former governor, recalls dis tinctly the night when two men fol lowed her carriage. Orchard told of following the governor’s carriage for the purpose of kliuug aim. Jacob Wolfe, through whom Or chard said he communicated with Pet tibone, vehemently denied that he had ■ever acted as an intermediary in handling mail from Orchard to Petti bone. Max Malich, a prominent politician .and labor-union man of Globeville, ;says Orchard told him he would kill ‘Governor Steunenberg because the latter had prevented him from becom ing a millionaire. Orchard reasoned, according to Malich, that Steunen berg’s request for troops during the Coeur d’Alene strike compelled him to leave the country and dispose of his interest in the Hercules mine. The purchasers subsequently became mil lionaires and Orchard was the loser. San Francisco, June 7. —Fred. W. Bradley, former manager of the Bunk er Hill and Sullivan mines in the Coeur d’Alenes, said last night that Orchard's statement quite fits in with his experience. “The attempt to poison me with strychnine in the milk,” he said, ‘‘was mainly frustrated by my habit of early rising. I found a bitter taste in the milk, spat it out and had the rest put out of the way.” Bradley referred to the allegation that the explosion which wrecked his home and injured him was caused by an escape of gas in the front hall, which was ignited by a match struck to light his cigar. "Possibly there were two explo sions,” he said, “the first the infernal machine and then an explosion of gas (Continued on page 13.) •„, ;.> • q ” |l|Ta No. 21.
