Block Signal and Train
Control Board to Make
Investigation.
All ApparatuSes in Patent
Office, Said to Be
Suppressed, Will
Be Studied.

The remarkable statement was made
today that the newly appointed block
signal and train control board, working
under the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. viii begin its investigation at
the Patent Ofice.
II proposes to learn all about the per-
sistent and vigorous charges that the
railroads and big manufacturing cor
porations have bought many valuable
safety appliance patents and then sun
pressed them. and that by refusal to
avail themselves of the work Of invent
ors. the -sads and the appliance manu-
facturers have made themselves largely
responsible for the huge loss OF life in
railroad accidents.
w. p. BOrland, secretary Of the Block
Signal Board. and for years the Inter
state Commerce Commissions expert on
these subjects, said today:
The board will meet July o. and
will doubtless take Up. at the very be-
ginning. an inquiry into the wreck OF

1T is alleged that this has been done
because the concerns are already max
ing devices or using processes that
would be rendered obsolete by the new
Inventions. Some OF the inventions
which are unknown because suppressed
are alleged 10 be Of the very greatest
utility and value. while at the same time

these charges been made that we are

DISAGREEMENT
OF BOISE JURY,
GENERAL BELIEF
Men Are Expected to
Divide About Evenly
in Haywood Case.

BOISE. Idaho. July 22.-That the Hay
wood jury Will disagree. Is the opinion
expressed by practically every one in
Boise who has followed the trial closely
from the beginning to the present time
the first day OF what will doubtless
prove the last week OF the hearing.
To Divide Evenly.
Even the attorneys for the prosecu-
tion and defense will say no more .han
that they hope for verdicts in accord
ance with their respective views. No
one else thinks II worth while to hope.
The Jurors are expected to divide about
evenly. Predictions are baseG on the
history OF the members Of the panel. on
their known ideas Of the long aght be-
tween the miners and mine owners and
on the effect the testimony seemed TO
have on them as given by the various
witnesses.
Effort for Bail?
IN the event of a disagreement the
defense will make a strong effort 20
have not only Haywood. but the rest
Of the prisoners held in connection with
the Steunenberg murder. admitted TO
ball. The prosecution will oppose this
strongly. 1t is declared a second trial
will be begun as quickly as possible.
Richardson Begins Argument.
Attorney Z. +. Richardson began his
argument in HaywOod's defense today.
He maintains the State has wholly
failed 20 make out a case and that,
even without the testimony given In his
own behalf. Haywood is entitled to an
aeQuittal. The argument will probably
be finished tonight
ATTORNEY Clarence S. Darrow will be-
gin talking on Tuesday and will prob
ably continue his address all day on
W ednesday. Then Senator Borah will
close for the prosecution The jury
will probably get the case some time
on Friday.
VIII Speak Ten Hours.
Richardson will probably speak for
about ten hours, referring in detail TO
every point of disputed evidence ellcited
since the trial began The last word will
come from Senator Borah, who will
speak probably on Friday. closing the
States side Of the case. The jury will
be charged by Judge Wood on Friday
afternoon o. Saturday morning.
The defense this morning made It plain
that the contention that Harry Orchard
II an arch liar as well as a murderous
hend will be strictly adhered TO. Hay
woods completely in any crime Orchard
confessed will be denied, and it is con-
tended that Orchard implicated the Off
cials Of the Western Federation Of
Miners through pursuasion and coercion
by detectives IA the employ of mine
owners.
Mr.. Richardson argued that Orchard
was not present at the blowing up of
tne Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine: that
me explosion at the Vindicator mine in
colorado was an accident; that the

dependence Station was a scheme to
create public feeling against the strikers
