OLDEST ORGAN IN u. s.
is AT PORTSMOUTH

In the chapel of the st. Johns Epis-
copal church Of Portsmouth Is located
the oldest organ in the United States,
and the history of the instrument is of
great interest. especially to the musi-
cal people. This organ was imported
in 1913 and presented to the Queens
chapel, Boston, by Thomas Brattle,
Esq At the time OF it's arrival in Bos-
ton there was a great amount OF feel
ing and prejudice existing among the
church people. and to such an extent
that the organ was dumped on the
porch OF the church, and there IL re-
NAMED for nearly eight months with
out any effort being made to place II
where 1t belonged.
Finally tho feeling disappeared, and
II was removed from it's wooden case.

MOYER MAY GET BALL
Application for bail for Charles n.
Meyer. the imprisoned president of the
Western Federation OF Miners. and
George II. Pettibone. his co-defendant on
the cHdTke Oh ndEink muTueTeu FORMER
Gov. Steunenberg, comes before Judge
Fremont Wood this morning.
The charge is the same as that under
consideration before a Jury I'm the same
court room for the last II weeks. Only
the characters are different, william ID.
Haywood. the secretary-treasurer OF tho
Western Federation OF Miners having
been discharged from custody yesterday.
The probability Is that the court will Ad-
init Meyer to ball, placing the amount at
$4,000 or s25.000. II is intimu ed that the
bail for Pettibone will be refused.
In both cases the state will resist the
granting OF bail.
The decision OF the state to continue
the prosecution OF the men now under
arrest and the statement that Jack simp-
kins the fugitive from Justice. indicted
with them, is almost within the reach
OF the law and may be arrested at any
time came rs surprise to counsel for
the defense, who confidently expected that
Meyer and Pettibone would be released
SPENT NIGHT QUIETLY.
Haywood spent last night quietly at
the house In Boise where his family has
been living since the trial commenced.
IL was happy gathering and the released
man received congratulations from his
friends In steady stream. The kilograms
continue to pour In from nearly every
town In the Union. Haywood will remain
here some days before going 20 Denver
TO take up his work. John Murphy, the
general counsel for the Western Fedora
tion OF Miners who Is dying of consump-
ton here, is a great friend Of Haywood.
and arrangements are now being made to
take him back to Denver IL possible be-

Gooding issued yesterday dispel this view
or the situation. Gov. Gooding said:
The verdict Is great surprise to me

the case. j have done by duty. have
no regret as TO any action have taken
and my conscience Is clear. As long as
God gives me strength I shall continue
my efforts foe government by law and
for organized society"
WHAT ORCHARD SAYS.
Not the least interesting of the COM
ments made upon the verdict yesterday
was that OF Harry Orchard, the confessed
murderer of Steunenberg and the wit
ness on whom the state confidently re-
lied TO prove its charge of a conspiracy
among certain members OF the West
tern Federation OF Miners. When told at
the state penitentiary that Haywood had
been Scquitted, Orchard said:
We'll. ] have done my duty. I have
told the truth. / could do no more I
am ready TO take any punishment that
may be meted out 10 me for my crime
and the sooner II comes the better"
IL was after being out for q hours

Events moved rapidly enough after this

the trial had been gathered into the
court room at few moments before s
O'Clock, the white envelope handed by the
foreman TO the judge was torn open and
the verdict read.

Refused to Serve with Insane Sailor

PHILADELPHIA, November 30.-Rath-
er than serve with a demented man on
board. the crew Of the German tank
steamer Bayonne. which left here
Wednesday for Algers, Tunis and other
Mediterranean ports, threatened to mu-
tiny Thursday when the vessel was 1t sea
off the Delaware capes. and compelled
Capt. Won Hugo to return and put the
man ashore.
Soon after the steamer left here an
Italian fireman went insane and ran
amuck. Capt. Won Hugo had tried to land
the man at the United States Marine
Hospital at Lewes, but was refused on
the ground that he was an undesirable
foreigner. The captain then decided to
land him in Italy, but the superstitious
sailors refused to work with an insane
man aboard. and the Bayonne was COM
PEELED to return to the Delaware break
water and arrange to send the man to
the italian consul at Philadelphia. The
steamer was delayed thirty hours.
