Appeals to Judge Picture Taken at
the "Bridge of Sighs."
Raleigh, C, July 12. There will
be no trial of the famous poisoning case
of Dr. David S. Rowland and wife, Mrs.
Lillian Rowland, until the September
term of court, which convenes on the
fourth Monday of the month. And the
case is set for a day certain, the first
Thursday of court.
This order was made this morning
over the vigorous protest of counsel for
the Rowlands on the strength of a
statement by Solicitor Jones that the
state could not prepare adequately for
the trial at this term, in view of the
ruling made by i the court yesterday
that the depositions taken at Norfolk,
Memphis and other places out of the
state by the defeiifce before the case was
really instituted in court by the grand
jury's true bill, these depositions under
taking to set out that Strange wa sub
ject to and died of heart disease, and
used as a medicine the very poison,
digitalis, which the 6tate alleges was
most probably used by the Rowland
in accomplishing his death.

HAYWOOD CONCLUDES HIS
TESTIMONY; END OF CASE
ABOUT TW O W EEKS OFF
Completely Master of Himself in Cross-Examination at Hands
of Senator Borah, Whose Queries He Answers as Promptly
" as They Are Put. ;-:
Boise, Idaho, July 12. William D.
Haywood, on trial for the murder of
Frank Stcuncnbcrg, this afternoon left
the witness chair, the time being equally
divided between his own counsel and
Senator Borah, who conducted the cross
examination. ;
Haywood's testimony closes the de
fense, except for one witness, who will
be called tomorrow morning, and his
examination will take up about fifteen
minutes. The state will then begin the
rebuttal, unless motions to strike out
certain parts of the evidence should be
brought forward by the defense. Coun
sel for the state announces willingness
to abide by the instructions of the court
to the jury, and will not make argu
ments on motions to strike out. There
is a prospect now that the case may be
brought to a conclusion within two
weeks. .
Cross-examination of Haywood began
this morning an hour after the opening
of court. Borah's cross-examination, al
ways rapid, was more ithan usually
quick today, but from.firpt to last Hay
wood preserved complete possession and
control of himself. At ' times his . re
plies came as quickly as the questions
were flung at him. Again, he would
hesitate and speak lowly, with a marked
emphasis., Once, when Senator Borah
pressed Haywood as to his sentiment to
ward former Governor Steunenbcrg, Hay
wood said, quietly and with a smile:
i felt no different towards Steuncn-
berg, senator, than I do towards you or
anv of those people.
Senator Borah looked up quickly, hut
he did not smile. He said quietly:
"Yes; I have been given to understand
something of that sort," and he did not
pursue the subject.; ,
Much of Haywood's testimony today
was a repetition in detail of what 'Mover
said yesterday.
Haywood, however, made no effort to
deny his knowledge of Orchard and his
affairs, or his connection with Simp
kins. When pressed closely as to the
Dassaao of telegrams relating to the
engagement of counsel to defend Or
chard, Haywood admitted that he knew
, Simpkins had retained counsel, but there
was no record of any report from Simp
kins to the officers of the federation.
Like Moyer, .Hay wood had never heard
Orchard make threats against Steunen-
berg,' though he had heard of Orchard's
assertion that Orchard had lost his in
terest in the Hercules mine because of
the troubles irn the Coour d'AIenes.
Haywood explained the draft sent to
fitmp'kins for $100 on December 1, 105,
on the ground that Simpkins had left
the money with lilm for safeke- jing.
He had no acknowledgment from vSimp
kins of the receipt of t ho V money, and
had not heard from SimpkiiK since that

LAW Jlr UNFAIR
McCrea Testifies In $ult of Rail
road Companies Against
: Two-Cent Fares.
AGAINST EVERYBODY'S
INTERESTS, HE DECLARES
Not Alone Would the Corporation Be
Injured, But Traveling Public as Well
Would Suffer From Decrease in Eate
Paid for Transportation.
Philadelphia, Pa., July 12. President
James McCrea today took the witness
stand in Common Pleas Court in the
case of the Pennsylvania railroad's suit
to restrain the enforcement of the two
cent fare law in this state, and testified
that the now law is unfair and imprac
ticable and against the interests of
not -only the railroad company, but
against those of the traveling public.
He said the new law would stimulate
passenger traffic, as was contended by
those who advocated the law, but would
be a liardship upon those who pay a
lower rate than two cents by reason
of the necessity of the company being
forced to raise the commutation apd
other low rates now prevailing.
Much of today's proceedings were
taken up with the question of appor
tioning the percentage of passenger traf
fic from the other business of the com
pany. The company has presented
figures showing that the passenger traf
fic amounted to about 21 per cent, of
the whole business done by the com
pany. The City and County of Phila-

time. Haywood said he never told Fct
tibone that he had sent any money to
Simpkins. In his opening speech, At
torney Dnrrow said it was doubtful
whether the defense would attempt to
explain the copy of the letter received
by Orchard in jail at Caldwell, saying
that "it was sent on December 21." In
his testimony Orchard snid that this let
ter was in reply to one from him to
Pettibone asking for $100.
Haywood, ill many particulars, con
firmed 'Orchard, but where Orchard con
nected Haywood or the Western Feder
ation with the crime the witness was
emphatic and prompt in his denials. He
showed no desire to conceal the fact
that Orchard had visited him at his
house, or that he on different occasions
had had" intimate conversations with
Orchard. He denounced the administra
tion of Colorado-at the time of the
troubles as corrupt, and he extolled the
value of the Western Federation.
Throughout Hayword's testimony rang
antagonism to what he calls the "capi
talistic class," nd he expressed tho
view that only by such' methods as
those offered by the Western Federation
can the workingman hope to control the
situation.

Revised Legislation Elft ctlve

GOVERNMENT BOOK
SYSTEM MODIFIED
Names of Persons to Whom Tobacco is
Sold Must Be Kept, But Persons from
Whom Crop is Purchased May Be En
tered Simply as "Farmers."
Washington, D. C., July 12. The re
vised regulations in connection with
the internal revenue taxes on . to
bacco, which becomes eff-tive on-' August
1, today received the approval of Secre
tary Cortelyou and Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue Capers.
One change of special, interest to the
tobacco interests and particularly to
dealers in leaf tobacco, is t he ; change
in section 3300 of the Revised ".Statutes,!
which, under former rulings, required
a much .'more elaborate svstem in the
government books at the warehouses
and at the places of business of tho
dealers than is 'required under the
amended regulations. This section is
now construed so as to reouire the en-.
try of the name rind address of every
person to whom tobacco is' -sold, but it
does not require, as heretofore, -that 'the'
names and addresses ol farmers, from
whom tobacco is bought shall be en
tered, but can bo entered siinnlv as "niir-
chased from farmers," stating' the num
ber of farmers, with the distinct pro
viso, however, that the "original .'ware
house books arc to contain t lie name of
every farmer and the number of pounds
purenasea irom mm and the. date of the
purchase.
It is also provided that these ware
house books are to be kept open and al
ways available to the inspection of the
proper government officials. Under the
old plan these warehouse books, covorin"
in many cases as many as fifty pages as
a result ot one day's entries, had to
be transcribed into the government
books; I'he present plan makes that un
necessary. Another Change in this connection, af
fecting the 'leaf dealers, is that where a
leaf flealcr makes a sale to another leaf
dealer, but holds the tobacco in his
warehouse subject to the order of the
purchasing leaf dealer and at his risk,
the original dealer nuking the sale
shall enter the same in proper book at
the time made, and the .. nurcluisins'
dealer shall make a corresponding en
try in his books. ;
When the tobacco is removed from
the warehouse for shipment, the pur
chasing dealer to .whom- it belongs shall
enter in his books the names and ad
dresses of the parties to whom ship
ment is made and the district to which
the tobacco is sent. -

Durham, X. C., July 12. At Bilboa,
a small trading piftce and station cast
of Durham, an attempt was made late
yesterday afternoon to murder the en

at that place, who has an -extensive bii-i-nes

and in Wake. But for the timely nr.

known that both Mr. Jones and his wife
were in a serious condition, there would
no doubt, have boon two deaths as a
result of the dastardy attempt.
Dr. Kiiss was summoned to the home
about nine o'clock last night and nothing
was known of the attempt at whole
sale murder until Dr. Koss returned to
the city at an early hour this morning,
between two and throe o'clock. Then
he told the story of the placing of
arsenic in the coffee-pot at the home
of Mr. Jones and of how near it came
killing both husband and wife.
The matter is a mystery; It seems
that yesterday morning the family had
coffee as usual, and there. -wa' nothing
out of the usual. Last night coffee was
again prepared and soon after supper
both Mrs. Jones and Mr. Jones, the only
two who drank collVe, were taken vio
lently ill. They grew worse and a mes
senger was sent for a doctor. .
When Dr. Ross arrived they were both
in an extremely serious coudition, were
suffering gr?at pain and almost in a
state of collapse. He diagnosed the
case at once and proceeded on the idea
of arsenic poisoning, and after several
hours of hard work brought them
