Steamer Columbia Carried 249 Pas
sengers and Crew.
Of This Number 177 Have Been Res
cued Report That No Women
Were Saved Untrue Blame la
Laid on Columbia's Officers She
Changed Her Course.
Boise, July 28. Into the bright
sunshine of a beautiful Sunday morn
ing, into the stillness of a city drowsy
with the lazy slumber of a summer
Sunday, William D. Haywood, the
defendant in one of the most noted
trials Involving conspiracy and mur
der that the country has ever known,
walked yesterday a free man, acquit
ted of the murder of Former Gov
ernor Frank Steunenberg.
The probability of a verdict of ac
quittal in the case of the secretary-
treasurer and acknowledged leader
of the Western Federation of Miners
had been freely predicted sin;e Sat
urday, when Judge Fremont Wood
read his charge.
It was also freely predicted that in
the event of Haywood's acquittal the
state would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Charles II. Mover,
the president of the Federation, and
George A. Pettibone, of Denver.
Statements from counsel and from
Governor Gooding issued today dis
pel this view of the situation.
It was after being out for 21 hours
that the Jury, which at first had been
divided eight for acquittal, two for
conviction and two blank, and then
seemed deadlocked at- 10 for acquit
tal to two for conviction, finally came
to an agreement shortly after the
first faint streaks of the coming day
showed gray above the giant hills
which bound Boise to the north and
east. The weary old bailiff, who had
kept an all-night vigil before the
loor of the jury-room, was startled
into action by an Imperative knock
from within. .Events moved rapidly
nough after this, and hardly at last
the principal actors in the trial had
been gathered into the courtroom at
a few moments before 8 o'clock,
when the- white envelope was handed
by the foreman to the judge and was
torn open and the verdict read.
GLASS JURY DISAGREES.
Vote Stood Seven to Five for Con
viction New Trial Soon.
San Francisco, July 2 8. After 16
"ballots, In which there was small
variation from the original standing
of the body seven for conviction
and five for acquittal, the jury in
the Louis Glass bribery case was dis
charged this afternoon - by Judge
Lawlor;
There was no disagreement as to
the payment of a bribe, but it was
contended by the men who voted for
acquittal that the crime had not been
positively fastened upon Glass.
The retrial of the case has been
set for August 5.
Tomorrow morning, Theodore V.
Halsey, who acted as the bribery
agent of the Pacific Telephone Com
pany, will be placed on trial. The
prosecution anticipates no trouble In
convicting Halsey, and has openly
stutod that If necessary he will be
granted immunity If he will take the
stand and tell the truth.
The prosecution will lose no time
In placing Glass on trial again. If
dimmer, whose testimony would con
vict Glass in two minntes, persists In
his refusal to answer questions on
the witness stand, he will be pun
ished to the extent of the California
law, which allows imprisonment for
six months for each such refusal. Byj
ints process z,immer can oe given a
total of nearly five years In prison.
Kill Brutal Husbands.
Chicago, 111., July 29. The killing
of husbands who beat their wives
was advocated by Judge Tuthlll In
the course of a divorce suit tried be
fore him yesterday. Indignant at a
woman's description of the Inhuman
treatment to which she had been
subjected by the man who claimed to
be "her master," and aroused by
statements that his abuse had taken
place in the presence of men who
would iot interfere, Judge Tuthlll
declared that In extreme cases vio
lence should be met with violence,
no matter what the consequences.

GRILLS PINKERTON MEN.
Haywood Attorney Says Steunenberg
Murder Part of Conspiracy.
Boise, Idaho, July 24. Forsaking
the theory of vengeance as Orchard's
motive for the murder of ex-jGovernor
Steunenberg, E. F. Kichardson argued
that Orchard was in the employ of the
Pinkerton detective agency when he
killed Sheunenberg and that the mur
der was a part of a conspiracy to bang
Haywood.
TJhis sudden departure was followed
by a tremendous denunciation of Cap
tain James McParland and the Tinker
tons and passionate vituperat'on of
Orchard, Governor Gooding, of Idaho,
Senator Borah and Governor Peabody,
of Colorado, In fact, all who have acted
on the side of the prosecution of Hay
wood came in fcr a share of Richard
son's peroration.
Mr.- Kichardson, having spoken for
nearly nine hours, wound up by plead
ing with the jury not to convict Hay
wood on the testimony of the self-confessed
criminal, Orchard, whose testi
mony, he eaid, had not been corrobor
ated by any tesitmony standing by it
self and unsupported by Orchard, to
connect Haywood with any conspiracy
to commit crime. Mr. Richardson
charged the Pinkerton detective agency
with a systematic plot to secure the
conviction of Haywood, Moyer and Pet
tibone as a means to the desired ex
termination of the Western . Federation
of Miners.
Clarence.' Da rrow will commence his
argument in Haywood's behalf when
court meets this morning. It is ex
pected that he will require two days to
close for the defense.
FIRE AT VICTORIA.
Property Loss of $250,000 Results
From Poor Pressure.
Victoria, B. C, July 24. The great
est fire in Victoria's history occurred
yesterday afternoon, destroying five
blocks and many detached buildings,
and involving a loss of $250,000. Start
ing in the unused boiler shop of the de
funct Albion works, the fire wiped out
the shacks of the tenderloin. From
Store street to Quadra, four blocks east
ward, between Herald and Chatham
and Picneer streets, scarcely anything
escaped.
The poor pressure of water greatly
handicapped the firemen, who, aided by
the soldiers of the garrison and a host
of volunteers, fought desperately, pull
ing down many buildings in the path
of the fire, which was brought under
control at 7 p. m. Dynamite was
brought in automobiles to blow up
buildings, but Fire Chief Watson would
not use it. Men, women and children
were hurriedly carrying out their be
longings from the houses in the threat
ened district.
The number of houses burned in the
destructive fire is placed at 75, and the
insurance at about f 135,000. The total
loss is estimated at $250,000. No cas
ualties are reported. The police secur
ed blankets and tents for the home
less, but not one application for shel
ter was received, all those burned out
being sheltered by friends and at the
hotels. The tenderloin was almost
completely wiped out. Three churches
were destroyed.

up at sea, the report being circulated
that the wood in it was rotten

"It is built of solid oak," he eaid,
"and the wood is so hard that I could
not chip it off with a knife."

tion in the Culebra division was 624,
586 Cubic yards, against 669,365 cubic
yards during May, and is more than
three times the amount taken out in
June, 1906. The report says that with
119,000 yards per shovel as the max!
mum output during the dry season 16,
000 yards per shovel cannot be consid
ered a serious falling off when the ex

cubic yards was dredged.

other than Americans there were but
15 deaths. Out of about 29,000 color
ed employes there were 772 deaths,
making a total of 91 deaths in June

of employes together, only 12 deaths
in June were due to what are consider
ed climatic diseases malaria and dys
enteryand none of these occurred
among the American white employes.
Enlarge, Not Abandon It.

be removed to Seattle hag just been re
vived. When the attention of Senator

couver barracks or of reducing its garri
son. On the contrary, the adjutant
general advises the senator that it has
been decided to increase the garrison by
add'ng one battery of field artillery with
a corresponding increase in the accom
modations cf the post. Thus is the
rumor buried for another 12 months.

VIOLATORS TO BE PUNISHED"
Land Department Will Not Overlook
Any Illegal Fencing.
Washington, July 23. In a state
ment issued today, Acting Secretary of
the Interior Woodruff says prompt ac -
non win De taken wnerever cases of
illegal fencing of public lands are dis
covered but that inspectors and special
land agents are especially occupied this
summer with preventing fraudulent ac
quirement of public land. The state
ment follows:
"My attention has been called to
articles in several Western papers to
the effect that the department of the
Interior will not prosecute any illegal
fencing this year. It would be unfort
unate that such an idea should get
abroad, but it is not true, and if any
depended upon it, they'might get into
serious trouble. I might explain that
the special agent of the general land
office and the special inspectors of the
Interior department will be especially
occupied during the summerwith the
more paramount and immediate duty
of protecting the public land being ac
quired contrary to the law. For that
reason few of them can be detailed to
search specially for illegal fencing."
BEARS UP AGAINST WOMEN.
Male Secretaries Only for Male Bu
reau Chiefs.
Washington, July 25. The women
clerks of the Agricultural department
can not hereafter act as private secre
taries for the male chiefs of divisions
or bureaus. This dictum, harsh as it
may seem, stands as the law in that
department. Secretary Wilson has is
sued it and he says he means business.
By the terms of his order, no woman
clerk under him shall in future act as
private secretary or confidential clerk
to a male chief of division or bureau in
the department. The order is the di
rect result of the Holmes cotton scand
al case, in which Mrs. Bertha Burch
figured eo prominently, testifying in
this city two weeks ago in the trial of
Holmes. On account of her position in
the office of the chief statistician of the
department she became, an expert in
crop figures and now she is conducting
a statistical bureau of her own in New
York city.

service today issued a permit to allow
the Northern railroad to erect two dams
and two power plants in the Yakima
division of the Washington forest re
serve for the purpose of generating elec
tricity by utilizing the water power on
which it had filed. This is taken to
mean that the Great Northern is pre
paring lo substitute electricity for
steam on part of its road, this change
having been hinted at by representa
tives of the Great Northern before the
Interstate Commerce coram iesion.

DARROW GIVES SCORCHING.
Heaps Curses on Mineowners
Constitution.
and
Boise, Idaho, July 25. The career
of Frank Steunenberg, the murdered
ex-governor of Idaho, was discussed
at some length by Clarence Darrow
yesterday In the course of his plea In
behalf of William D. Haywood. Justi
fying the articles published in the
Miners' Magazine, the official organ
of the Western Federation of Miners,
1 the Chicago lawyer said the action
, or ateunenoerg in asking ior united
States troops to quell riot and the
establishment of martial law In 1899
was unjustifiable and had properly
stirred up immense feeling la labor
circles against the governor.
Mr. Darrow's argument, unfin
ished when court adjourned, devel
oped Into an appeal for labor as
against capital, and a denunciation
of all opposed to the unions. He held
an audience startled and open
mouthed as one after another the
sentiments poured from his lips. His
attack on Orchard was expected, and
in this respect he fulfilled and sur
passed the limit of sensation. Three
hours were given to Orchard, and it
was only when vituperation, physi
cal force and words were spent that
Mr. Darrow now turned to James H.
Mawley,
The State of Idaho came In for a
large share of Mr. Darrow's denun
ciation for the part it has played in
the prosecution. Culture, education
and wealth each in turn were de
scribed as constituting a combination
against which the workingmen, the
uneducated and the poor must ever
be opposed. Mr. Darrow sneered at
the universities as purveyors of cul
ture. "And what is a cultured man,"
he cried, "but a cruel tyrant al
ways?" Reaching the climax of his denun
ciation in sympathy for the working
class and hatred for the rich, he as
sailed the Constitution of the coun
try, and cried:
"The Constitution! The Constitu
tion. It is here only to destroy the
laws made for the benefit of the
poor."
Mr. Darrow's defense of labor
unions and of union men was pas
sionate and his eulogy of the West
ern Federation eloquent. Lovingly
he touched on the beauty of self-sacrifice
found in the "struggle for hu
manity where only the worklngman
is found," and then, with the bitter
est sarcasm, his voice pitched to the
highest note and arms unraised, he
heaped abuse upon the selfish rich
and upon the administration of the
State of Idaho.
SURVIVORS REACH PORTLAND.
Sixty-Five Complete Voyage on Elder
From Scene of Wreck.
Portland, July 25. With 65 sur
vivors of the ill-fated" Columbia
aboard, the steamer George W. Elder
reached port at 6:30 o'clock yester
day afternoon, after a slow and un
eventful voyage from the scene of
this grim tragedy of the sea of last
Sunday morning. Two thousand
people thronged the narrow landing
place at Martin's dock to meet these
fortunates who were snatched from
the jaws of death. Many were there
on the happy mission of greeting rel
atives who had escaped. Others went
to make inquiry for some loved one
unaccounted for.
That the wreck was attended by
many scenes of bravery and that the
loss of life was reduced to a mini
mum considering the rapidity with
which the Columbia settled, is the
general verdict. In the fact of the
endless number of miraculous es
capes from drowning, it is clear that
courage was at hand in plenty among
passengers and crew. Women and
children displayed admirable courage
as well as the men, and there were
few instances of rank cowardice.

INVESTIGATING
COLUMBIA WRECK
Officers of Both Ships Charged With
Inhuman Conduct.
Captain of San Pedro Ttlls Why He
Ordered Boats to Keep Off His
Own Ship Was in Danger Inquiry
Shows Both Vessels to Blame
Life Preservers Good. '
San Francisco, July 27. The in
vestigation into the sinking of the
steamer Columbia, whereby, accord
ing to the latest figures, r81 lives
were lost, was resumed today by
Captain John Birmingham, United
States Supervising Inspector. Offi
cers and members of the crew of
both vessels were examined and the.
depositions of Captain Hansen of the
San Pedro and his first officer read.
The testimony brought out the
statement from Captain Bermingham
that It was the first time he had ever
known that life-preservers had ac
tually been effective in saving life,
qualifying it by adding that people
were usually too frightened to don
them correctly.
Captain Hansen, in his report, de
nied that he had been unnecessarily
cruel in refusing to take anymore
survivors on board after he had res
cued 75, giving as a reason for his
action that his own vessel was in
such a condition that it was danger
ous to approach her, and therefore
ordered the other boats to keep off.
. Chief Engineer Arthur V. Wil
liams testified that the San Pedro
did not lower all her boats because
the vessel was under-manned.
The alleged action of Third Offi
cer Hawse, of the Columbia, in re
fusing to give his coat to a woman
was brought out in the testimony of
Quartermaster Curran. JThe latter
testified that there were unclothed
women in the boat, and when Hawse
was asked to give his coat to one of
them he had refused, saying that
the coat belonged to him. The wo
men, said Curran, had been exposed
for an hour before Hawse covered
them up with a piece of sail.
Hawse interrupted the proceed
ings by interposing an indignant de
nial, and for a few moments counter-
denials flew back and forth between
the two officers. Hawse was placed
on the stand and testified that he
had offered his coat to Miss Maybelle
Watson, the plwcky Berkeley girl,
but she refused it and asked him to
give it to another woman more des
titute than herself.
GLASS CASE WITH JURY.
Consumed Fourteen Days of Actual
Trial Besides Arguments.
San Francisco, July 27. The case
against Louis Glass, first vice-president
and general manager or the
Pacific States Telephone and Tele
graph Company, charged with the
crime of bribing Supervisor 'Charles
Boxton in the sum of $5,000 to vote
against an ordinance granting the
Home Telephone Company a rival
franchise in San Francisco, went to
the jury last evening after 14 days
of actual trial and a day and a half
of arguments by Assistant District
Attorney Heney for the people and
T. C. Coogan and Delphin M. Del
mas for the defense.
The reading of Judge Lawlor's
charge to the jury consumed one
hour. At its conclusion the court
room was cleared, the jury was
given in charge of two deputy
sheriffs and by them" conveyed in a
tally-ho to the Fairmount hotel.
Haywood Case Finished.
Boise, Idaho, July 27. Evidence
and argument is at an end and this
morning the jury will be left to de
cide what penalty, if any, William D.
Haywood shall pay for participation
in a criminal conspiracy resulting in
the- assassination of ex-Governor
Frank Steunenberg, with which he
is charged. United States Senator
William E. Borah, engaged by the
State of Idaho as special counsel for
the prosecution, spoke the last word
last night. This morning Judge Fre
mont Wood will charge and instruct
the jury, which, it is expected, will
retire to consider its verdict at about
11 o'clock. -
