SOUTH CHICAGO
DISCUSSES VERDICT
General Rejoicing in That
Suburb Since Times An
nounced the Acquittal.
Especial to Lake County Times

South Chicago. July 29.-THE LAKE
COUNTY TINES extra edition yesterday
morning which covered the entire
Calumet region. including South Chi
cago, was the first TO bring the news
of the aequittal OF Haywood TO his
many friends in South Chicago and
ever since. there has been rejoicing in
the ranks of the union men hele.
The acquittal OF Haywood was the
principal topic of discussion among
union men of South Chicago all day.
Although the Western Federation of
Miners had seeded from the American
Federation of Labor and become a So
cialist body they had nevertheless the
sympathy of all unions. The fight was
not considered here. as one of three
men. but as a fight of the working
class against the employers.
South Chicago unions did their share
of swelling the defense funds. The
sentiment of the local union men is
voiced in the words of J. ]. Fitzpat-
rick, president Of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labod when he said:
There could have been no other YER
dict. Justice demanded such YER
dict and l am more than grateful to
see it forthcoming"
The socialists, of whom there are
quite a number in South Chicago. were
especially enthusiastic about the YER
diet, claiming it as a special triumph
of socialism. The acquittal, they as
serted, was the result of the combined
efforts of the socialists and the trades
unions in favor of their "comrade" on
trial. While there is not yet definite
information to that effect, the report
is very insistent that Haywood will
visit Chicago in the near future and in
that event South Chicago members of
the trades unions will turn out in
bodies to greet him.

AcquitaI Looked For.
The probability of a verdict of ac-
quital in the case of the secretary
treasurer and acknowledged leader of
the Western Federation of Miners had
been freely predicted since Judge Ere
mont wood read his charge, which was
regarded as strongly favoring the de-
Tense in its Interpretation of the laws
of cons piracy, circumstantial evidence
and the confederation Of an accomplice
who confesses. Among the jurors the
Judges charge was very effective.
Samuel D. Gilman, the last man to be
won over to the defense, declared that
a majority of the men seemed con-
vineed that the general tone OF the
courts instructions indicated that the
defendant should be freed, and this is
corroborated by the remarks of others
Of the jury. Mclean voted consist
entity for acquittal from the first. hold
ing that the judges instructions set
tied all doubt as to the course he
should take.
1t was also freely predicted that in
the event of Haywood's acquitaI the
state would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Meyer and Pettibone
Statements from counsel and from
Governor Gooding dispel this view of
the situation Governor Gooding said
The verdict is a great surprise to me,
and / believe to all citizens of Idaho
who have heard or read the evidence
! in the case. I have done my duty. I
have no regret as to any action 1 have
| taken and my conscience is clear. AS
long as God gives me strength l shall
| continue my efforts for government
! by law and for organized society. The
state will continue a vigorous prose-
cution of Meyer and Pettibone and Ad-
ans, and of Simpkins when apprehend-
ed There will be neither hesitation
nor retreat"
Not the least interesting of the COM
ments made upon the verdict was that
| of Harry Orchard. When told at the
state penitentiary that Haywood had
been acquitted Orchard said: Well.
I have done my duty. 1 have told the
truth I could do no more. I am
ready to take any punishment that
may be meted out to me for my crime,
and the sooner it comes the better"
Haywood issued a statement IN
which he said: Il appreciate the sup
port of the working class extended to
US by the working men throughout the
country I hope TO be able during the
coming year TO personally express that
appreciation wish to ex-
press appreciation of the wonderful
support given to me by the presence
in the court room during the trial OF
the representatives of labor. industrial
and political organizations"

standing with his back near the track
of the approaching train watching
the engineer and fireman handling
a steam valve from which steam
was escaping and which deadened
the sound of the approaching train.
This made it impossible for the en-

Extremes in Envelopes.

"That's the first time | ever sold
single envelope, said young woman
at a big stationer's store in the city's
centre. "I've always sold them in
packages, but that gentleman came
in with letter in his hand and asked
for an envelope, and sold him one
for cent. I imagine that's the
smallest sale that has been made in
this establishment since 1t opened.
The biggest l ever made happened
to be in the envelope line, too. \
rather roughly dressed man came in,
asked to see our envelopes and want
ed to know the price by the thousand.
I told him. Then he asked the price
by the million. l got the figures
from our manager, who smiled as he
gave them to me. Yet the man or
dered million envelopes and when
we asked for reference he said he
would as lief pay the bill on the spot

loaf of bread. We delivered the en-

on from the organization of that SER
vice pursuant to the act of Congress
in 1902 to the first of this year. AS
a result of the operations, which are
conducted under authority Of the
Geological Survey, eight new towns
have been established, 100 miles of
branch railroads have been con-
structed and 10000 people have TAX
en- up their residence in the desert.
To pave the way for these homeseek-

miles of canals-nearly the distance
from Washington to Omaha. Some
of these canals carry whole rivers,
like the Truckee River in Nevada
and the North Platte River in Wy

an aggregate length of nine and one
