HAYWOOD WALKS
FORTH A FREE Man
is ACQUITTED OF THE MURDER
OF FORMER GOVERNOR sTEU.
NENBERo.
WILL PROSECUTE The OTHERS
STATE ANNOUNCES THAT CASES
OF MOVER AND PETTlBoNE
WILL BE PUSHED.

Boise, Idaho, July 80. Into the
bright sunlight of a beautiful Sabbath
morning, in the stiffness of a city
drowsy with the lazy slumbers of a
summer Sunday, William D. Haywood,
defendant in one of the most noted
trials involving conspiracy and muir
der that the country has yer known,
led of the murder of Former Governor
Frank Steunenberg.
The probability of a verdict of &C
auittal in the case of the secretary
treasurer and acknowledged leader of
The Western Federation of Miners had
been
Freely Predicted
since Saturday, when Judge Fremont
Wood read his charge, which was re-
yarded az strongly favoring the de-
tense In Its Interpretation Of the law
Of conspiracy, circumstantial evidence
and the confederation of al accom-
plice who ~confesses.
1t was also freely predicted that in
the event Of Haywood's acquittal the
state would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Charles H. Mover.
The president of the federation, and
George A. Pettibone of Denver. State
ments from counsel and from Gov.
Gooding issued yesterday dispel this
view of the situation.
Jury at Last Agrees.
1t was after being out for twenty
one hours that the jury, which first
had been divided at ten to two, finally
came to an agreement. Events moved
rapidly enough after this, and when at
last the principal actors in the trial
had been gathered into the court room
at a few moments before s O'Clock the
white envelope handed by the foreman
to the judge was torn open and the
verdict read.
Haywood's attorneys were fairly lift
ed from their seats, and Judge Wood
made nj effort to restrain them as
they surrounded Haywood to shout
aloud their congratulations.
First Thought of Mother.
Haywood's first thought after his re-
lease a of his aged mother, who
Saturday had suffered a complete
1ervous breakdown after the jury had
retired. Haywood walked to st. Luke's
hospital and unannounced rushed into
his mothers room. So great was the
effect of the news upon the elderly
lady that last night she wa sup and
about and happy.
Next Haywood went TO the little cot,
tage where his wife and daughters
aave been stopping. Once home. Hay
wood said: Il want to thank the
people of Boise for their kindness to
NY wife, my mother, my family and
my friends"
Will Prosecute Others.
Senator Borah said:
Il nave no comment to make other
than that twelve good men and true
men OF the State of Idaho have passed
upon the case, and that disposes of it
SO FAR as the State of Idaho and Hav-
wood are concerned. The prosecution
Of the other men indicted will be
pushed vigorously and without any
reference to the Haywood trial"
E. F. Richardson, one OF Haywood's
leading counsel, said:
we have had a fair trial. We have
had an impartial trial and conscien-
t1ous jury and an impartial iudse"

Senator Borah Is Sensational.

Senator Borah Is sensational.
Boise, Idaho, July 27.-The case Of
the State of Idaho against William d.
Haywood, charged with the murder OF
Frank d. ~Steunenberg, will rest with
the jury by night. Clarence Darrow,
after speaking for eleven hours, con-
Guided the final plea for Haywcod's
life at APO p. m., n at 7 In the
evening Senator Borah opened the
closing argument for the prosecution.
He will speak for three sessions, or
about seven hours. Judge Wood will
charge the jury Saturday morning.
At least 1000 people were unable to
find seats in the court room last night.
Governors Widow Present.
Aside from the unusually large
crowd in the court room and the large
number of women present, the scene
was much as it has been at each OF
the sessions during the last eleven
weeks. Mrs. Steunenberg, the widow
of the murdered governor, was In the
court room for the first time. She &C.
cupied a seat inside the railing, beside
her youngest son.
Senator Borah's speech was a sen
sation. From time to time he turned
on counsel for the defense, fierce de-
nunciation pouring from his lips, and
at times he brought protests from
Richardson and barrow, but with blaz-
ing eyes and hot words he silenced
every effort to break the rush Of
words.
No Immunity for Orchard.
The climax was, when in behalf of
the State of Idaho, it's people, it's gov
ernor and himself, he disclaimed all
intention or desire to give immunity
to Orchard. Finally, his face pale
and voice quivering with emotion, the
senator raised his arm and said:
IF l should ever join in an attempt
to give immunity to this man | hope
the great God may wither my right
arm in it's socket"

LEWIS NIXON
Says TURBINES
ARE INFERIOR

New York. Nov 22.-Many technical
papers dealing with marine problems and
progress in naval and marine construc-
ton were read and discussed at the 18th
general meeting OF the Society of Naval
Architects and Marine Engineers. which
opened yesterday in the Engineering So
cieties building, % West 39th street y
feature of the meeting was discussion
which took place between Lewis Nixon
and III. b. Anderson over the relative
merits OF the turbine and reciprocat1nS
types Of engines for marine use Mr.. An
derson, who was one OF the new MEM
bers admitted yesterday, is a warm per-
sonal friend of NJ b. Parsons the de-
signer of the turbine engines of the two
new Cunard steamers, the Lusitania and
the Mauretania.
Mr. Nixon, discussing the contents OF
a paper on Tactical Considerations In
volved I'm Warshp Design" by Conn
mander A. r. Niblack. L. s. N. declared
that the war vessels of the future would
be driven by internal combustion or gas
engines: that in order TO develop the best
possible fighting machine IL would be nee
essary TO do away with the mass of su-
perstructure so detrimental I'm battle
consisting of smokestacks ventilators,
draught tunnels, etc.
A careful investigation. Mr.. Nixon said,
satisfied him that the turbine engine had
achieved nothing not already accomplish
ed by the reciprocating type OF engine at
present used in the warships of the Unit
ed States navy Moreover. he declared
the turbines take up greater space and
consume more fuel for the same amount
OF work, and up to the present have not
proved their worth.
President r. T. Bowles at this point
called to Mr.. Nixon's attention the fact
that all transatlantic records had re-
Gently beep broken and new ones estab-
lished by Steamships equipped with tur-
bine engines. and that this fact in itself

second time Oh next Tuesday
night, Oct. 1st:: It's first appear
Eance was last fall and it comes this
time with a stronger cast, finer
mountings and more complete
equipment than on any former
Southern tour.
The Leader welcomes the repro
duction of the play in Brookhaven
and advises all of its readers who
can to witness it. 1t is of very
great historic value, especially to
the younger generation of South
erners. The Clansman has been
criticised and condemned by some
as an exaggerated and overdrawn
lpicture of the Reconstruction era,
and as q play that revives memo
ries and race prejudices that had
bette be left to sleep. From our
own memory and youthful recol-
lection of Reconstruction times, it
really falls short of adequately
depicting the horrors and bitter
experiences of that dark period in
the South's history. We regard
it as not only a graphic presenta-
tion of past history, but also a
prophecy of the future. with some
of the worst features it presents
intensified, unless the white peo-
pie of the country begin in time
and completely and permanently
eliminate the negro from the bal
lot box. The lesson it carries
cannot be too often or too deeply

Preparing for the Boil Weevil.

Prof. B. [. Moss, special agent
of the United States Department
of Agriculture, was in Brook
haven yesterday on round of in
spection. At present Prof. Moss
is located at jackson where he
takes the place of Prof. Bamberge
who goes to South Carolina.
It is the intention of Prof. Moss
to get Mississippi farmers to
adopt the intensive system Of cot
ton raising as fast as possible to
escape the rayages of the Mexican
boil weevil, which has now ad-
vanced as far as eastern Louisiana
and is soon expected in Mississip-
pi. This may be done quite sue
cessfully by fertilizlng heavily,
thororgh preparation and cultiva-
tion of the land, and the use of
early maturing varieties.
Prof. Moss informed The Lead
er that during the coming season
he may move his headquarters
from jackson to .BrookhaVen the
end that he may the better direct
some experiments he wishes
to make in this county. Our
farmers should give him every
encouragement and assistance
possible in his efforts to pre-
pare them for the coming Of
the weevil pest, which he regards
| as inevitable.
