BAIL POR MOYER.
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

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

HAYWOOD GOES FREE
Jury Deliberated 21 Hours, With
Two lor Conviction.
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.

Borah Fervently Disclaims Thought
of Immunity.
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.

stirred up immense feeling In labor
circles against the governor.
Mr. Harrow’s argument, unfin

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

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

“ 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.

at 1:20 o’clock, when the prosecution
