Steala March on Uncla Sam at Tha
Hague Conference.
The Hague, July 31. The British
delegation Is working on a proposi

cause considerable surprise. As al
ready cabled, the representatives of
the United States have been private
ly discussing with other leading dele
gates the advisability of the United
States presenting a proposition for
the periodical meeting of the confer
ence, this proposition suggesting that
It should meet qulnquennlally June
2, beginning in 1912.
The British delegation went ahead
of the Americans, having already
communicated In the strictest secrecy
to only a few delegates Its proposi
tion on the same subject, establlnh-
Ing that, the conference should sit
septenlally, but that two years be
fore the meeting special representa
tives of Great Britain, France, Ger
many, the United States, Russia.
Italy, Austria and Japan should meet
to prepare the work for the confer
ence, pre-arranging everything con
nected with Its organization and the
matters to be taken under advise
ment.
GRAIN WHERE SAGEBRUSH WAS.
Splendid Crops In Harney Woman
Work In Hayfields.
Burn Haying is now in full force
throughout Harney county, and the
meadows are yielding heavy crops.
With few exceptions the alfalfa fields
made an exceptional growth this year,
while the native grasses are unusually
good. Men aie in strong demand for
this work at good wages, and even
women are making big money driving
mowers, rakes and (tuckers.
The grain crops are also showing np
well. There was a favorable rainfall
during June and during the critical
period there was no damaging frost, so
the entire season has bean encouraging
for the farmer. The fall grain is well
long toward ripening and the spring
grainwheat, barley, rye, etc. has a
strong growth, with a heavy head.
It is really a pleasing sight to see
fields wherein the sagebrush stood at
the opening of last spring that are now
adulating waves of bending grain
promising a rich harvest.
The fruit has all done well this year
and here will be more benies, apples,
pears and apricots than ever before in

ittle orchard. He received an average
of Scents a pound for thecherries, thus
making from the two acre piece 11,230.
This is a young orchard which last year

story will be chronicled. Mr. Harlow

President of Western Federation of

Ilolse, 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-Governor Steun
enberg, was ordered released on
$15,000 ball yesterday by Judge
Wood, who presided at the Haywood
trial. The attorneys for the federa
tion expected to bave the boud ready
for filing last night, but the arrange
ments had not been wholly com
pleted at a late hour and Moyer re
signed himself to another night in
Juil. He will probably be released
today and will leave within 24 hours
for his home in Denver.

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
Incriminating evidence against Pettl
bone than any of the others, while
it has 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 1
would be time enough to deal with
these matters when Pettlbone him
self was placed on trial.

HAWSE BECOMES INSANE.
Brain Suddenly Unhinged by Storm
of Criticism.
Sao Francisco, July 80. 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 toe in
vestlgatlon. 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, his Intellect lost that keen ad
Justment that nature provides be
tween thought and act, and his mind
reeled off Into Insanity.
Hawse bad spent the evening at
his rooms, 188 Fair Oaks street, Sec
ond Officer Richard Agerup was witn
him. Hawse had spent an hour or
more reading the censures which had
been printed against him. With a
crv like a wild animal he clenched
the clippings In his hands and leaped
to his feet. Agerup looked at hlra
and Hawse looked at his friend, but

Chicago, July 30. Western rail
roads are near an open break with
the Postofflce Department over the
transportation of mails, 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 mans. 10
consider the situation railroad men
held an Important conference today
One of them declared that tne
fines levied by the government
against his road in one quarter
amounted to 140.000. A similar
condition on other roads was re-
norted. The fines were assessed in
der a new rule which went Into ef

fher 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 snd In all kinds of weather.
The new rule, the roaas say, is
oppressive and unjust. It provides
that if the malls are late ten times on
any route during a period of 90 days,
d shall be assessed 15 per
cent of the pay of that route for the
quarter.

The probability of a verdict of ac
qulttal In the case of the secretary'
treasurer and acknowledged leader
of the Western Federation of Miners
bad been freely predicted since Sat
urday, when Judge Fremont Wood

of his associates, Charles H. Moyer,
the president of the Federation, and
tieorge A. Pettlhone, of Denver.
Statements from counsel and from
Governor Gooding Issued today dls-
pel this view of the situation.

that the Jury, which at first bad 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 bills
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

Thousands Will Be Needed to Market
Praaant Crop.
Chicago, July 30. The western
railroads are facing the problem of
assembling thousands ot cars at var
ious points during the nest 30 days
for the purpose of transporting the
crops to market. Nearly every bis
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 win De neeaea to tag
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 V niue and how
great the early movement will be.
This la done so that the railroads
may avoid, it 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
nuaiber of cars will have to be as
sembled. Some 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
bat company In the west there will
be needed 100 boxcars alone to
ransport a potato crop which will be
shipped from three new towns.
Olliclals of the Northwestern Insist
that their road will be In-better
shape to handle this year's crop than
it was lust year's. A great amount
of new equipment has been added
and - business In other directions
promise to be less Imperative than
last year. The company la also mak
ing an effort to have a larger percen
tage of its own cars npon Its rails
this year. With this purpose la
view, fewer Northwestern cars will
be loaded to go off their own rails.
Burlington officials stated 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
uly 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 ot foreign cars and their
prompt return to the home lines.
The railroada desire to make this
record year for prompt and expedi
tious handling of the western crop.
