Haywood, secretary-treasurer of . the Western Federation of Miners, was at his desk in the headquarters of the federa tion this morning. A constant stream of visitors poured through the room, offer ing greetings and congratulations on his acquittal of the charge of complicity in the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg, of Idaho. Mr. Haywood expressed his pleasure at his reception In this city on his arrival last night, and spoke enthusiastically of the demonstration at Colorado Springs and other points along the road. He looks well, although he says he is 30 pounds lighter than he was when arrested. He expects to remain in Denver for" some time, and as soon as possible will take up the . thread of his work where he dropped it. PORTLAND, Me.. Aug. 6. Commander Robert E. Peary left here today for New fork, whence he will sail In a few days on an expedition to the North Pole. Com mander Peary said today: "From New York 1 shall go direct to Sidney, C. B., where 1 shall coal, and there will be no stops on the way, as I have no time to lose. "My crew this time will be practically the same as on my last trip. Captain Robert Bartiett is to command the Roose velt I am going prepared to make every effort to reach the Pole. If I do succeed next Summer, I shall stay over a year. If I do not succeed, I shall stay one year later. I am taking along everything for a three years' trip." Commander Peary, giving some details of his plans, said: "John Murphy, my old boatswain, is to be with me again. I am to have Ward well, my old chief engineer. Ross G. Marvin, of Bucksport, Is to be my assist ant, and he will be the only Maine mem ber of the party. I ant to have a new surgeon. There are several applications for the position, but as yet no one has been chosen. I will settle that when I get to New York." Asked if he expected to reach the Pole this time. Commander Peary said: "A man who has had an experience in the North knows that to say he will do a certain thing up there is madness. I have learned many lessons from my other trips and I shall profit by all my exper ience. What I shall find at the Pole is a question that cannot be answered un til I have reached It." Asked if he had ample funds for carry ing out the expedition. Commander Peary replied: "I will say one thing, and that is that the delays in repairs on the boilers of the Roosevelt have been and are now worrying me a great deal more than the money with which to finance the expe dition." Commander Peary appeared today to be In rugged health and was full of eu- thuslasm for the trip. PHONE GIRLS STRIKE . AGAIN Helping Linemen In Montana In junction Against Boycott. HELENA,' Mont., Aug. 5. Twenty tele phone operators went on strike here to day in compliance with the request of the Montana Federation of Labor.

BOSTIN, Aug. 6. The fourth annual convention of the Teamsters' Interna tional Union, which opened here today. had more delegates in attendance than at any previous gathering. The annual re port of the secretary-treasurer, Thomas L.

MRS. FISH SNUBS ENEMIES VANDERBILTS AND GOELETS LEFT OUT IN COLD. Visit of Swedish Prince to Newport Gives Society Leader Her Oppor tunity for Revenge. NEWPORT. R. I., Aug. 5. (Special.) Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish has administered a blow to Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbllt and Mrs. Ogden Goelet, who will have no part in entertaining Crown Prince William, of Sweden, who is to make a five days' visit here. Society and financial circles see in this retaliation for the overthrow of StuyveS' ant Fish by the Harrlman faction. Cor nelius Vanderbllt stood with Harrlman, hence Mrs. Vanderbllt is left out. Mrs, Goelet is her sister, and her son, Robert W. Goelet, also supported Harrlman, so she is cut out of the plans. It is a notable victory for Mrs. Fish, for it will be the first time in history that a titled foreigner has come to Newport to find the Vanderbllt and Goelet villas dark. SALT LAKE MAYOR RESIGNS BOTH CLAIM THE ADVANTAGE Strikebreakers on Colorado Road, Nelll Calls for Facts. DENVER, Aug. 5.

Morrisey, grand master of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, whoi is in charge of the strike, says he is satis fled with the way the strike is going. He says the company is not moving many cars and that there have been no deser tions from the ranks of the strikers. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.

DEFENDS THE CONTRACT Governor Chamberlain Says Only Mistake Possible Is In Amount of Lien Granted Company for Reclaiming Land. . In all to about $100,000. as a guarantee that the system will be turned over to the settlers in good condition. As we have the power to say when they can sell land, and can Insist upon their building the canal before they sell the land, it seems to me that the deposit is sufficient security. Cannot Keep Land Themselves. "TB only way the reclamation company can get any money out of the project is by sales to settlers. If the new price is too high, settlers will not buy and they will be compelled to sell for less. They cannot refuse to sell to any settler who tenders them the purchase price, and they could have no object in refusing, tor they cannot posBibly get title to the land themselves. "Of course It Is possible that we placed the price too high, but after a careful and prolonged investigation we concluded that an average of J25, or $2.50 for waste land and $40 for Irrigable land, was reasonable. The raise, of course, affects only the lands not yet sold. "Since the protest has been made I have gone over the new contract carefully and can see nothing that I would do different ly if I were doing it again. Thus far I have not heard one word of protest from a settler or an intending settler." ASTORIA NEEDS MONEY (Continued from First Page.) Crasley, F. W. Berkemeier. B. M.

"I cannot see that this reclamation project has any similarity to the wagon-road grants," said Governor Chamberlain this evening, in discuss ing the protest that has been made against the new contract the State Land Board has entered Into with the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Com pany. "In the case of ,the wagon-road grants the land was given to the wagon-road companies and they were permitted to withhold It from settle ment. The lands to be reclaimed are not given to the reclamation companies, but under the contracts we have made they must be sold to settlers. Under no circumstances can the reclamation companies acquire title to the land. Neither can the land be withheld from settlement, for our con tracts expressly provide for sale to ap plicants in the order of application. Possible Mistake In Amonnt of Lien. "The only possible mistake we may have made was in the amount of the lien we allowed the reclamation com pany for reclaiming the land. I do not believe there waa a mistake there, but if there was, it is the only one. "We were confronted by a serious situation. Under a contract made sev eral yars ago, the reclamation com pany has begun the construction of a canal system and was to have a Hen of $10' an acre. Part of the system had been completed and the company had made sales to intending settlers aggre gating 40,000 acres. The company had taken part payments. Much of the land for the sale of which it had made contracts was 20 miles or more from a ditch. With matters in that condi tion the company became financially embarrassed and could not proceed with its work. There is no doubt whatever that the first reclamation contract was taken at too low a figure. Tho irrigation system could not have been completed for the amount speci fied, $10 an acre. Project Could Xot Be Given Vp. The question presented before the State Land Board was, therefore, whether to raise the lien so that the company could proceed with the work, or let the project be abandoned and the settlers lose what they .have al ready paid. We chose the former course, and in doing so gained a num ber of advantages. "The old contract gave the board no control of the sale of land, made no Drovision as to the plans and specifi cations for the canals, and gave the company a perpetual right to charge a toll of $1 per acre per year for water. The' new contract we have made gives the board the power to say when and where land may be sold and when it shall be deemed to be reclaimed. The company has been selling land' with out water within 20 miles of It. There will be no more of that. "The new contracts make the settlers owners of the reclamation at the end of ten years, and reduces the annual charge to 80 cents an acre in the mean time. . The new contract provides for the deposit of $1 an acre, amounting NOT ILL JOY FOB ELOPERS MISS MILLER SWEARS LOXQ TREATS HER CRUELLY. near his home earlyioday. Glazebrook is suspected of having killed Smith In a quarrel over a woman. No charge has been placed against Glazebrook. but he will be held to await the action of the Coroner's Jury. The killing of Smith was one of five mysterious assaults early today, in which four men were killed and one fatally wounded. The other victims besides Smith were: John L. Barbour, found dead upon the Illinois Central tracks. The head had been cut off by a train and was found 100 feet down the track. It Is believed that Barbour committed suicide, but there are circumstances that make this doubtful. John Naughton died after being as saulted by three strangers at Thirty seventh street and Lowe avenue. William Donovan, dying of a bullet wound in the abdomen. He was found in a basement at 443 Hermitage avenue and said he had been mobbed by three men, one of whom shot him when he attempted to resist.

MURDERER CAPTURED BY MOB Shoots Bosom Friend Dead and Nar rowly Escapes Lynching. PITTSBURG, Aug. 5. After shooting down his chum in cold blood and then attempting to chop the body to pieces with a hatchet in the street at Blair Station, 24 miles from this city, Adam Lacach, a foreigner, was rescued from a mob that tried to lynch him and was landed in jail at Blalrton tonight. The shooting occurred in the main street of Blairton and was the result of a complaint, of a misdemeanor made to the police by Joseph Warech against his friend Lacach. The latter met Warech tonight and asked htm why he made the information. Before Warech could reply Lacachshot him twice with a 38-callber revolver. Mortally wound ed Warech fell, and Lacach drew from his clothing a hatchet. The shots attracted a crowd from a neighboring house and as it rushed to the scene of the tragedy Lacach threw away his hatchet, with which he was about to strike his victim, and ran for the hills. His way lay through the town. The crowd grew with every minute. He 'finally took refuge in a pile of brush and was surrounded by the mob, and upon a demand that he give himself up he replied by drawing a revolver and threatening to shoot. In the meanttme some of the crowd had gone throuigh the pile of brush and before Lacach could shoot the pistol ,was knocked from his hand with a club. The man was immediately taken In charge by the mob, but A. L. Critchfleld summoned police from Blairton and, while cooler heads par leyed with the mob, the police spirited Lacach away to the jail. Warech was taken to a hospital, where he died in a few minutes. Warech and Lacach had been close friends for several years, but a few days ago, it is said, they had trouble over a woman.

TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 5. (Special.) County Assessor Railsback has raised the assessment valuations of personal property holdings $7,000,000. AVhile nearly all the companies In this city have always said they could not be assessed for a franchise, the assessor has accomplished the diffi cult task, basing his authority on the charter and ordinance book revised by the City Council in the year 1898. The companies owning franchises are all assessed for the year 1907. Many of the corporations refused point blank to give assistance to the experts. The street railway company is raised from J567.D4S to $1,922, J49 and the Beattle Tacoma Power Company from $62,300 to $251,000.
