and treasurer of the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners walked today a free
man, acquitted Of the murder of former
Gov. Frank Steunenberg
Proba bility of acQuittal was freely
admitted after Judge Fremont Wood
read his charge, which was regarded as
strongly favoring the defence in its in
depreciation of the laws Of conspiracy,
circumstantial evidence and the cor
roboration Of a confessed accomplice.
IT was also freely predicted that in the
event of HaywOod's acquittal, the state
would abandon the prosecution of his
associates, Charles II. Mover. president
Of the federation and Charles Petit
bone of Denver. Statements from coun-
sci and from Governor Gooding issued
today dispel this view of the situation.
Gov. Gooding said:

off Small Point, near the entrance to
Seal Island cove, today led 10 the
identification of the craft as that on
which Richard A. Lee of Bowdoin Col
legc and Franklin Morrison left Mere
Point on July 8. The revenue cutter
Woodbury., which has for some time
been conducting systematic search
for the missing sloop, went to Small
Point this morning, having on board
Diver Scott Tibbetts of Bath, who went
down and made an examination Of the
sloop, which he found sunk in about
IS feet of water.
Aboard the revenue vessel was \. d.
Chandler of Brunswick, who identified
the vessel by several articles sent up
by the diver. Among these was an oar,
the sloop's pennant, and a piece of the
woodwork by which the pennant was
held in place. This latter was made by
Young Lee, one of the missing boys
The tender was made fast to the stern
of the sloop. but although tic line
which held it was cast off by the diver
it did not rise to the surface.
The sails on the sloop were set. The
outer jib was close hauled and the
mainsail was partly drawn in. No bod
les We're found on the sloop.
Fishermen who saw the sloop racing
for Seal Island cove on July say that
the boys were making a gallant fight
for life and using excellent judgment
in the handling Of the sloop. They were
making good progress toward the har-
Dor in which they were evidently try

SPOKANE LIKELY TO

kane's contentious in the rate case
favorable to that city; that if so, the
railroads will carry the case into the
federal courts with the expedition as
sured under he new law for advanc-
ng such cases to an early decision.
The Washington Times says it is
probable, if the commission should
so decide and the courts reverse the
commission, that the president would
recommend an amendment such as
would enable the commission to ac-
complish the end aimed at. The
times article differentiates between
the power of the commission to low
er rates to a given city and the pow
er to lower merely one rate, and
says that if Spokane wins, then all
cities similarly situated will bring
cases before the. commission, radical
ly altering traffic from coast to coast.
