criticism of the taxing system in
standouts few months ago, the as-
sessors have seen fit to make a sub-
stantial increase in the valuation of
property of Dr, Charles E. Roweil, ls,
, .. fif’rrmsammerely a coincidence. The
doctor publicly declared that he did
not believe the assessors would do it
in a spirit of revenge. At the same
‘time he notices that property own-
ed by assessors, members of the board
V of relief, and other public officials,
falls to increase in value for purposes
, of taxation. In some instances it
shows actual shrinkage, in spite of
~ an impression that there has been a
general advance in really values, and
, that the latest grand list of the city
. 'has been swelled to the extent of con.

Was Caused by Gas, While
orchard Says it was a Bomb ,
BIOSI‘D, Idaho, July 9.-—'l‘he reading
of the depositions taken in San Fran
cisco in connection With the explosion
at the residence of Fred Bradley,
whom Orchard swears he twice at-
tempted to assassinate, continued to-
day as one of the closing features on
the side of the defense in the trial
of William Dulinywood, accused of
the murder of Frank Steunenbcrg.
By the state the Bradley incident
is looked upon as fine of the most
important features of their case in
support of the Orchard story, The de-
fense has all along maintained that the
attempt to poison Bradley and his
whole family and the explosion at the
house which Orchard sayswas caus-
ed by a bomb placed by him, are a fab-
rication. Orchard says that he was
commissioned by liaywood to go to
San Francisco and kill Bradley, who
had been a consistent enemy to or“
ganlzed labor. He swore that he first
poisoned the milk with arsenic and
failing in this. placed a bomb .undor
Bradley's front door mat, with a string
attached to the door handle. ' At the
time given by Orchard an explosion oc-
curred at Bradley's house just as Brad-
ley was coming out of the house, smok-
ing a cigar. Bradley Was terribly malig-
led, but recovered, and the front
porch of the house was badly damaged.
Shortly after the explosion the owner
of the house sued. the gas company for
damages and got a judgment because
of an escape of gas, which. it was
claimed. caused the explosion. Then
came the Orchard confession and an
appeal was taken against the judgment
but the higher court sustained the 10-
wer court.
When the case against Haywood
came up a commission Was appointed
to go to San Francisco and. take de-
positions.
Fred Milier, for the defense, and Mr.
Vanduyu, of the prosecution, were so
looted. The deposition are lengthy
and the whole of the two sessions to
day probably will be taken up in the
reading.
Bradley still maintains his first po-
sition that the explosion was caused
by gas, but be modified his positive
claim and he says the theory of a
bomb. is possible. He does not deny
the milk was poisoned.
All of the witnesses so far examined
under the depositions have admitted
that the main features of Orchard's ac‘
count are within the" bounds of possi-
bility.
It is not likely now that Moyer will
go on the stand before tomorrow. His
testimony will probably take one day
and on Thursday Haywood will be
called. His examination probably will
take. up the remainder of the week and
the states rebuttal is hardly looked for
before next Monday.
The depositions read covered the
explosions at the apartments of Fred
Bradley in Novomber, 1904. J. ll.
Reilly, who lived near the Bradley
apartments. continued his testimony.
Reilly declared be had passed the.
apartment house shortly before the
explosion and saw a Japanese servant
cleaning the stoop. He did not be-
lievo it possible for any one to have
placed a bomb there as indicated by
Orchard in the time which elapsed
between his passing and the report.
of the explosion. Orchard testified
that after placing the bomb he board-
ed a street car and got. out. of hearing
before the explosion occurred.
The next. deposition was that. of Mrs.
Charles Plcka'rd, who as Mrs. Crow.
had been employed by the ilradlcys as
cook. She toldoi’ having smelled gas
in the house for several days prior
to the explosion. Mrs. Crow denied
that she had gone to the theater with
Orchard as he testified. She declared
that he told a falsehood when he tell:
tilled to that effect.

Long Island Railroad Cripplco Service
to Summer Resorts.
Consternntion has , been created
throughout. the great summer resort
sections of upper Long island, Shelter
island. Block island and the Connecti-
cut coast by the announcement made
by Ralph Peters, president of the Long
island Railroad Company. a subsidiary
of the Pennsylvania system, that the
daily service of the old Montnuk
Steamboat Company to those resorts
has been practically abandoned, says
the New York Herald. Only a sem-
blance of a service has been establlshv
ed this summer. and as a result pas-
senger and freight traffic have been
diverted to the railway, lines.
Two of the three stenmhoats hereto
fore maintained by the company have
been disposed of, and the remaining
vessel, the Shinnccock, has been as-
algncd this summer to supply the de-
mands of the heavy passenger and
freight traffic. making trips only three
days in the week, Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays.
Plans for the summer made by then-
sands of persons in New York have
been upset by the increased difficulty
of reaching summer resorts on the
Long Island Sound section by steam-
boat, and shippers of freight are in
diguant over the necessity of sending
their goods by railroad at a higher
cost than the water l‘. its, demanded.
it is intimated that a crippling of
tho steamboat service by the Long Is-
land Railroad is to compel passengers
and freight shippers to patronize the
rail lines. Regrets are yxpressed that
there was no opposition m the par
chase of the Moutnuk Steamboat Com-
pany in 1899. Those two companies
had maintained a parallel and com-
peting service. Long and bitter freight
rate wars were. waged until the rail-
road interests succeeded in the effort
to buy a majority of the stock of tile

HATTERS’ BOYCOTT CASE TO
AGAIN MAKE APPEARANCE.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-—-When the
Supreme Court of the United States
meets next October it will be confront-
cd with a question as mine liability
of a labor union to punishment under
the anti-trust. law if aqucstlon which
has been certified to that, court by the
circuit court of appeals for the second
circuit is pressed. The question ar-
fees in connection with in. case of D.
in. Lowe, of Danbury, vs. nrtin baw-
lor and 200 other "mothers of the

turer, and it is charged that the fod-

they did not «insist in purchasing his
bats for their trade. they would be
put on the “unfair list." and would‘
lose the patmnagc of their union in-

Loewe brought suit. several years ago
in the circuit court for the district of
Connecticut, asking for $240,000 dam.
even under the anti-trust law, which
provides that any violation of the law
shall be punished by a fine of three

Beaver and
is Found in
South American
Rosemhluihe
are interested in the batting business
will be the report thatsu animal has
been discovered in South America
whose fur resembles the beaver and
which is suitable for the making of
felt hats.
Along the river banks and in the
lowlands of South America there 18
found a medium sized rodent which is
many respects resembles our North
American beaver. The animal is
known as the coypu, and its fur is
spoken of,in thefur and hat trades
as trin, says For News. Its chief
diff once from the beaver is in the
tall, which more nearly resembles that
of the otter. A fully grown coypu is
about thirty-five inches in length. in
cluriug the tall, and the length of the
body, alone is from eighteen to twen-
ty-two inches. .
The fur of the coypu is short and
silky and much resembles baver fur.
while the overhairs are stiff and of a
yellowish brown in color, varying from
one to three inches in length. Nutria
first. came into use about the year 1810,
being used as an imitation of beaver
in th making of hats. Later on, the
best skins were brought Into use by
the furrlcrs, who worked it up in imi-
tntioa of beaver, offer and seal, for
which purposes it is still used.
The skins suitable for furriers' use
are sold by the skin, while those which
are good only for hattcrs’ furs are sold
by the pound. Present prices for skins
cutting (hattcrs' furs) 36 cents to 44
points per pound. it is said that about
U 75 per cent. of the total catch of this
. fur is used in the United States and
about 30 per cent. of the catch is used
in but making.
The coypu is hunted and trapped
from May until October by lndians
and Gauchos, who catch large num-
bers of the animals. After skinning
the polls are dried in the open air and
in this condition are sold to local deal—
ers in the trapping districts. Collecu
tors travel through the counlry once
a year and buy up these lots of skins,
which they ship to New York, llondon
and Hamburg.

Pet Lizard Sleeps on Brakeman'e
Cheat. '
A conductor of a freight train which
passes through South Norwulk daily
tells of a pot lizard about four inches
long that has lived in the caboose the
past year, the crow being so attached
to it that it would be dangerous for
any one to harm it.
When the caboose is laid off at ter-
minal points and is used for sleeping
quarters. then the lizard becomes use-
ful. Just. as soon as one of the crew
lies down to go to gslecp and all is
quiet illelittle fellow crawls on to
the bosom of the sleeper and as soon
as a fly, mosquito or other insect
comes around it is caught by a light-
ning movement of the lizards tongue.
The conductor is authority that no
netting or blinds are necessary to keep
out such insects when his pet reptile is
on duty.
The same man tells how to get rid
of bed bugs. Just find. a hill of big
black tints. put as many in a quart. jar
us you can secure putting a piece of
cloth over the opening, then let the
ants loose in the bed or bedstead, or
wherever the bugs may happen to be.
The ants will search the bugs out and
destroy them in a days or two.
The conductor says he never kills
an out or lets one of his family. They
do no harm in a house, do not bite
persons, but do lots of good.

POTATO BUGS DISAPPEAR.
Farmers Rejoice Over the Departure
of the Colorado Beetle.
For thirty years the farmers in this
vicinity have fought the potato bug,
or the Colorado potato beetle, as he
was callod when he first visited this
state. The report comes from South-
port that potato growers are elated
over the fact that there are practically
no potato bugs this year. The crop of
bugs last year was light, and those
who have made a study, in a practical
way, of the coming and going of
pests. believe tlmt the day of this
arch enemy of the farmer is about
over. Seine patches have none, others
have only a few.
01d potato growers hope that there
will be a widespread effort to take
advantage of the scarcity of bugs to
exterminate them. If there Is a unit-
ed effort in this direction, the pest
can be wiped off the 11st of enemies
to growing crops. ldvcry dog has his
day, and the old adage applies to ver-
min and Insect pests as well. Since
the onion crop has become an retit-
able in this vicinity, a large port on of
the ground formerly devoted to that
vegetable has been planted with pota-
toes and some care and investigation
has been followed in their culture.
Agriculturists who here made ‘ a
study of the potato bug say that they
are the victim of some parasite,
which, with a little assistance from
man, will eventually exterminate them.
They point to several other posts
which have been shoved off the face
of the earth in the same way. The
some investigators hays been waiting
for the passage of the enemies of the
onion. but that event seems to be
still a long way off. The potato growl
ere here urge every one who has a
patch to use extraordinary precau-
tions this season in the hope that
next year there wil be no old bugs to
ac painted with DrrKing'o New Life produce a crop of larvae.
