than that Of any cruiser In the navy.
Several scout boats now building for
the British navy are to have slightly
greater speed, but the American scout
is expected TO maintain her gait in
any sort of weather and will have
twice the coal capacity Of the British
ships, thus giving her a much greater
radius Of action.
No other vessel in the navy has as
high freeboard as the Salem. This
insures good seagoing qualities, gives
stability and provides safe and dry
vessel under all conditions.
The Salem is 423 feet 2 inches long,
has breadth of 46 feet inches and
draft of 10 feet ~ inches. Her
displacement, fully loaded, Is 4,640
tons. Her battery will consist of 3
and 5-inch rapidfire guns and she will
have two submerged torpedo tubes.

that finds the greatest favor among
medical men Is that the man is an
epileptic, who probably has recovered

OUT TWENTY-ONE HOURS.
Verdict Of Acquittal Finally Returned
In Haywood Case.

In Haywood Case.
Boise, Ida, July 30-After twenty.
one hours elaboration the jury In the
trial of William D. Haywood, secre-
tary treasurer of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, on trial for conspiracy
in the murder of former Governor
Frank Steunenberg, returned verdict
of not guilty.
The probability OLA verdict of &C.
quittal had been freely predicted since
Judge Fremont Wood read his charge,
which was regarded as strongly favor
ing the defense.
1t was also freely predicted that in
the event Of Haywood's acquittal the
state would abandon the prosecution
of his associates Charles H. Meyer.
the president of the federation, and
George A. Pettibone of Denver. State
ments from counsel and from Gov
ernor Gooding dispel this view Of the
situation.
Harry Orchard. the self-confessed
murderer of Governor Steunenberg
and tho witness upon whom the state
chiefly relied to prove its claim of a
conspiracy, when told that Haywood
had been acquitted, said: e.
We'll, have done my duty. I have
told the truth. l could do no more.
am ready to take any punishment that
may be melted out to me. for my crime
and the sooner it comes the better"
The jury, which at first had been
divided to and then seemed dead
locked at 10 to 2, finally came to an
agreement.
Haywood wept when the verdict was
rendered. Tears welled to the eyes
of the man who during the eighty days
of his trial had sat with stOlid indif-
ference written upon every feature.
Influenced by Judges Charge.
Inquiry among the jurors after their
dismissal revealed some of the ele-
ments entering into their decision.
Samuel D. Gilman, the last man to be
won over to the defense, declared that
a majority Of the men seemed con-
vinced that the general tone Of the
courts instructions indicated that the
defendant should be freed.
Finley Mclean, who voted constant
ly for acquittal from the first, declared
that the judges instructions seemed
to settle all doubt as to the course he
should take.
Juror James Robertson, the good
natured Scotchman at whose home in
Boise Governor Steunenberg boarded
for more than two years, said:
Il could not reconcile myself to vot-
ing any other way than with the de-
tense from the very first and I think
that under the law and the evidence
there was nothing else for US to do.
The last fellow who held out against
acquittal belongs to the same fraternal
organization that i do. There was
some talk of a compromise on q Sec
ond degree verdict, but we would not
stand for that-it either had to be
acquittal or would have stayed there
forever"
Juror Samuel F. Russell, the senior
member Of the panel, said: -'
There was nothing against Hay
wood but suspicion and inference and
when we came to dovetail the 9vi.
dence in the juryroom somehow it did
not fit."

JOHN D. BRADY LOSES
OUT IN SHERIFF CONTEST
Supreme Court Decides Adversely in
Quo Warranto Proceedings Brady
Well known Here.

The quo warranto writ asked by
John D. Brady of Duluth to Gust
from office William ]. Bates, sheriff
of St. Louis county, has been dis
missed by decision of the supreme
court. The writ sought to GUST the
sheriff for alleged violation of the
corrupt practices act in obtaining
his election.
The relator claims that Bates
entered into an agreement with Miles
by which Miles was to file for nomi-
nation as sheriff and then withdraw
on the last day in order to keep off
opposition to Bates. Bates was
elected and Brady, who got the next
highest number of votes, brought the
action to keep him from Office.
Bates in reporting on the amount
spent to secure the election neglected
to include in his statement $500
paid to Miles. On the ground that
Bates violated the corrupt practices
act in thus neglecting to disclose
this expenditure Brady sought to
have the office vacated.
Justice Jaggard, who writes the
decision, goes into long argument
as to the meaning of the statute
embodyiug the corrupt practices law,
especially as to when man is a
candidate for an office. He holds,
however, that under the meaning OF
the act person is not a candidate
until he has filed papers announcing
himself. Before this act he cannot
be held responsible for any expendi.
lures, nor required to report them tc
the court. AS the agreement to pay
$500 was made before Bates filed
his papers the writ is discharged.
Chief Justice Start and Justice
Brown concur in the result, but in
an additional opinion afirms that
parts of the corrupt practices act are
unconstitutional.
