Présidant of Western Federation of Miners Out of Jell. Boise, Idaho, July 30.— Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Fed eration of Miners and co-defendant with William D. Haywood, acquitted of the murder of ex-Oovernor Steun- enberg, was ordered released on $25,000 ball yesterday by Judge Wood, who presided at the Haywood trial. The attorneys for the federa tion expected to have the bond ready for filing last night, but the arrange ments had not been wholly com pleted at a late hour and Moyer re- algned himself to another night in Jail. He will probably be released today and will leave within 24 hours for his home In Denver. No application for ball was made In the case of George A. Pettlbone, the third of the alleged conspirators, but a motion was made for a speedy trial and his case was ordered set down for Tuesday, October 1. Consel Intimated that they might apply for bonds for Pettlbone later, but it Is not believed that the state’s attorneys will consent. It has been generally stated that there Is more lncrlminuting evidence against Pettl bone than any of the others, while It haB been generally conceded that the case against Moyer Is the weak est of the three. The defense In the Haywood case admitted that there were a number of things for Pettl bone to explain as to his association with Harry Orchard and the sending of money to him. but they said ¡i would be time enough to deal with these matters when Pettlbone him self was placed on trial. HAW8E BECOMES INSANE. Brain Suddenly Unhinged by Storm of Criticism. San Francisco, July 30.— The brain of Robert Hawse, third officer of the lost steamer Columbia, suc cumbed last night to the abuse, ridi cule and contempt which has been heaped upon him ever since the In vestigation of the disaster has been in progress. Holding the newspaper articles containing criticism of his actions subsequent to the crash In his hands, a brain fiber snapped and he was mad. The Ignominy heaped upon him was more than he could bear. After brooding for several days over the charges which had been made against him, hls Intellect lost that keen ad justment that nature provides be tween thought and act, and hls mind reeled off Into Insanity. Hawse had spent the evening at hls rooms. 188 Fair Oaks street, Sec ond Officer Richard Agerup was with him. Hawse had spent an hour or more reading the censures which had been printed against him. With a cry like a wild animal he clenched the clippings In hls hands and leaped to hls febt. Agerup looked at him and Hawse looked at his friend, but did not see him. Hls eyes were glazed. The police were called nnd Hawse was taken to the detention ward at the Central Emergency Hospital. HOWL IN PAIN. Government Wounds Railroads Se verely In Pocketbook. Chicago, July 30.— Western rail roads are near an open break with the Postoffice Department over the transportation of malls, owing to a number of recent orders. The latest cause of grievance Is the imposition of heavy fines on nearly all the roads for delay In delivering the mails. To consider the situation railroad men held an Important conference today. One of them declared that the fines levied by the government against hls road In one quarter amounted to $40,000. A similar condition on other roads was re ported. The fines were assessed un der a new rule which went Into ef fect In July, 1906. The roads are amazed to find that they are In danger of losing 15 per cent of their mall pay unless they re vise schedules and place their mall trains upon running time which they know they can maintain In all sea sons and In all kinds of weather. The new rule, the roads say, is oppressive and unjust. It provides that If the malls are late ten times on Salvador has asked Mexico to act as any route during a period of 90 days, mediator with Nicaragua. the road shall be assessed 15 per W. J. Biyan has saved a woman cent of the pay of that route for the quarter. from being run over l>y an auto. Heat records throughout the Middle states have broken all former records for this summer.

PRISONER QUIETLY DISCHARGED Shakas Hands With Counsel, Thanks Each Juror, and Goss to Sae His Mother. Boise, July 28.— Into the bright sunshine of a beautiful Suuday 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 since 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 hls associates, Charles H. Moyer, the president of the Federation, and George A. Pettlbone, 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 tbe 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 door of the jury-room, was startled Into action by an Imperative knock from within. Events moved rapidly enough 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 28.— 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 stated that If necessary he will be grnnted immunity If he will take the stand and tell the truth. The prosecution will lose no time In placing Glass on trial again. If Zimmer, whose testimony would con vict Glass In two minutes, persists In hls refusal to answer questions on the witness stand, ho will be pun ished to the extent of the California law, which allows Imprisonment for six monthB for each such refusal. By this process Zimmer can be given a total of nearly five years In prison. Denies He Attacked Hansen. San Francisco, July 29.— Third Of ficer Hawse, of the wrecked steamer Columbia, has made a statement In which he denies the charges made against him. Referring to Captain Hansen, he says: " I never did crit icize his conduct, but simply made my report to the United States In spectors of hulls and boilers, In ac cordance with the facts, and ven tured the opinion that had the San Pedro allowed me to discharge the survivors from the boat, I would have had a chance to rescue more.” ROADS FACE CAR FAMINE. Thousands Will Be Needed to Market Present Crop. Chicago, July 30.— The western railroads are facing the problem of assembling thousands of cars at var ious points during the next 30 days for the purpose of transporting the crops to market. Nearly every big railway system has received detailed reports from Its agents In every part of the west, northwest and southwest regarding crop conditions, probable yield and the prospect for future bus iness. From these statements esti mates are made of the number of cars which will be needed to take care of the various crop movements along the line of each road. The agents are required to give some esti mate of the time when the different crops will begin to move and how great the early movement will be. This Is done so that the railroads may avoid, If possible, taking cars out of other service and rushing them to the west, there to remain Idle for days awaiting loads. It is believed from the reports re ceived thus far that the early crop movement this year will be heavy and therefore an unusually large number of cars will have to be as sembled. Borne Idea of the task that confronts the railroads can be gath ered from the Northwestern's report of the situation. On a new line of that company In the west there will be needed 100 boxcars alone to transport a potato crop which will be shipped from three new towns. Officials of the Northwestern Insist that their road will be In better shape to handle this year’s crop than It was last year’s. A great amount of new equipment has been added and business in other directions promises to be less imperative than last year. The company Is also mak ing an effort to have a larger percen tage of Its own cars upon Its rails this year. With this purpose in view, fewer Northwestern cars will be loaded to go off their own rails. Burlington officials Btated that they have Just now a surplus of box cars and are accordingly assembling many cars to take care of their share of the Nebraska crop. They expect the wheat to begin to move between July 25 and August 1, and declare that before the first date arrives they will be In good shape to handle all that will be offered. It Is probable that a conference of traffic officials will be held soon to talk over the crop movement and to make plans for co-operation of West ern roads with respect to prompt handling of foreign cars and their prompt return to the home lines. The railroads desire to make this a record year for prompt and expedi tious handling of the western crop. INVESTIGATION NOW Hot Words Between Officers of Colombia and Sao Pedro. HAWSE CHARGED WITH CRUELTY Captain Tells Why He Refused More Passengers—Life Preservers Stand Hard Tsat. San Francisco, July 27.— The In vestigation Into the sinking of the steamer Columbia, whereby, accord ing to the latest figures, 81 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 hls first officer read. The testimony brought out the statement from Captain Bermlngham 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 hls report, de nied that he had been unnecessarily cruel In refusing to take any more survivors on board after he had res cued 75, giving as a reason for hls action that hls 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. W il 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 hls coat to a woman was brought out In the testimony of Quartermaster Curran. The 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 hls coat to Miss Maybelle Watson, the plucky Berkeley girl, but she refused It and asked him to give It to another woman more des titute than herself. FOURTEEN BURNED ALIVE. GLASS CASE WITH JURY. Mysterious Explosion Shatters New York Tenement House. New York, July 30.— An explosion accompanied by fire, shattered an East Side tenement late Sunday night, and within the crumbling walls 14 persons went down to death, while twlse as many were probably fatally Injured. The wrecked building was at 222 Christie Btreet, where a six-story tenement rose above the grocery store basement. The explosion is as yet unaccounted for and tore out the front of the building, and the fire that followed caught the 20 families, numbering 100 persons, while most of them were sound asleep. Fourteen dead bodies have been recovered. Of the Injured, many jumped from the windows, others were caught by falling timbers, many, half suffocated by smoke, were dragged from the hallways, while others received their wounds during the panic and mad fight among each other for an exit. The tenement was occupied chiefly by Italians. A passerby was attracted by the explosion which apparently occurred In the basement. As he turned toward the building the whole front with Its flimsy fire escapes fell into the street, and from the sagging floors a score of the half awakened persons dropped Into the street. Many of theBe were badly hurt, but they proved to be the more fortunate of the tenants for another moment and the building was wrapped In flames, and the cries of persons burn ing to death rent the air. In the wild excitement that followed many were Injured. Haywood Cate 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 « ’clock. Consumed ' Fourteen Days of A dual Trial Besides Arguments. San Francisco, July 27.— The case against Louis Glass, first vice-pres ident and general manager of 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 Falrmount hotel. Wracks Due to Owners. San Francisco, July 30.— The re sponsibility of the companies which by Iron-clad schedules, compel their masters of ships to go at a speed their own consciences tell them Is unsafe, was the feature of the Co lumbia wreck testimony, taken be fore Captain Bermlngham yesterday. Second Officer Agerup's testimony established more clearly than had been done before the fact that cap tains are compelled to run their ships at full speed along a dangerous coast In foggy weather In a course navi gated by many vessels.

Bolts, Idaho, July 26 — Ths esse of the State of Idaho against William D. Hay wool, charged with tbe murder of Frank Bteunenberg, a former governor ol the stale, will rest with judge and jury by tonight. Clarence Harrow, after speaking for 11 hours, concluded the final plea for Haywood’s life at 4:20 p. m., and at 7 o’clock last even ing United Btatea Senator Boiah opened the closing argument for tbe prosecu tion. He will speak lor three sessions, or about seven hours. Judge Fremont Wood will instruct anJ charge tbe jury on Saturday morning. Mr. Borah’i speech’was a senaation. From time to time he turned on coun sel for the defense, fierce denunciation pouring from his Ups, and at timea brought protests from Mr. Richardson and Mr. Harrow, but with blaiing eyes and hot words he silenced every effort to break the rush of words. The cli max was reached, when in behalf of the state of Idaho, its people, its gover nor and himself he disclaimed all In tention or desire to give immunity to Orchard. Finally, his face pale and voice quivering with emotion, thq sen ator raised hia arm and aaid: “ If I should ever join In or give ap proval to immunity to this man I hope the great God may wither my right arm in the socket.’’ Mr. Borah declared the state did not want Haywood convicted of any crime for which Orchard or Pettibone or Moyer or Simpkins or anybody else was responsible, and desired a verdict of guilty only if the evidence was deemed sufficient to warrant such a conclusion. The senator denounced Clarence Har row’s statement that the jurors’ minds hail been poisoned against the defend ants in this case. Nowhere, he de clared, oould a fairer trial have been held than in Boise. GLASS CASE FINI8HED. CURSES ON THE RICH Dirrov Abuses Mlneowners and Constitution. CALLS ORCHARD A VILE THING Haywood’s f awyer Occupies Day by Torrsnt of Invactiv#—Chargea Attempt to Kill Unions. 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 hls plea In behalf of William D. Haywood Justi fying the articles published In the Miners’ Magazine, the official orgaa of tbe Western Federation of Miners, the Chicago lawyer said the action of Steunenberg In asking for United States troops to quell riot and the establishment of martial law In 1899 was unjustifiable and had properly stirred up immense feeling In labor circles against the governor. Mr. Harrow’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. Hawley, The State of Idaho came In for a large Bhare of Mr. Harrow’s denun ciation for the part It hag played in the prosecution. Culture, education and wealth each in turn were de scribed as constituting a combination against which the workingmen, the uneducated aud 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 hls eulogy of the West ern Federation eloquent. Lovingly he touched on the beauty of self-sac rifice found in the “ struggle for hu manity where only the workingman Is found,” and then, with the bitter est sarcasm, his voice pitched to the highest note and arms unralsed, he heaped abuse upon the selfish rich and upon the administration of the State of Idaho. Attorneys Maks Arguments to Jury in San Francisco. Ban Francisco, July 26.—The Louia Glass bribery case should be in the hands of the jury by 1 o’clock this after noon. Francis J. Heney, for the peo ple, and T. C. Coogan, for the defense, yesterday made each hia opening argu ment. At 10 o'clock this morning Del phin M. Delmaa will begin the closing address for Glass. Popular prophecy is divided between a conviction and a dis agreement. No one affects to forecast an acquittal. The chief sensation of the trial came at 1:20 o’clock, when the prosecution having closed its case Mr. Delmas crisp ly announced: “ So have we.” This determination to offer no evidence in contradiction of the circumstantial web woven around Glass was a sudden and complete surprise to everyone, most of all to the proaecutioD, for the previous day Delmaa had casually, or so it seemed, mentioned Rudolph Spreckles as “ one of the witnesses we shall call.” Heney, after stating frankly to the jury that the declination of Second Vice President Zimmer, the moat important individual witness for the state, to tes tify had put it beyond the power of the SURVIVOR3 REACH PORTLAND. prosecution to establish definitely the connection of Glass with the crime of Slxty-Flva Complete Voyage on Elder bribing Supervisor Cliarles Boxton, de From Scene of Wreck. voted himself to a vigorous exposition Portland, July 25.— With 65 sur of the circumstantial case made out. vivors of the Ill-fated Columbia aboard, the steamer George W.
