Yesterday afternoon a little girl
was killed near Asheville by a bullet
fired from a train by a drunken man.
The full punishment imposed by the
law should be visited upon m~iscreants
who so f~fagrantly violate it, and it is
only a wonder that more deaths do
not result from the reckless use of
firearms that is so often noted.

a dominant influence over it's manage

Du Pont family are also made defend

Haywood Doomed; Meyer Out.
The verdict of acquittal rendered by
the Boise jury, which freed William
D. Haywood from the charge Of con-
spiracy to cause the murder of former
Governor Steunenberg, came with all
the force of the unexpected, ending the
suspense felt by the entire country
during the eighty days over which
the trial had been spread. The jury
weighed it's decision in the light of the
evidence and the charge of Judge
Wood, which made the Orchard con-
fession practically worthless unless
found to be distinctly corroborated
The jury stood first to 4, then 10 to
and finally unanimous for acquittal,
although one juror is reported as say
ing that, although he had deferred to
the majority, he still held his opinion
Of Haywood's guilt. ....
The defendant after receiving the
congratulations of his counsel and
thanking the jurymen individually
rushed from the courtroom to break
the news to his mother, who had
broken down under the strain, and his
family. In a statement to the press
he expressed appreciation of the sup
port of the working class and Of the
kind treatment Of his family by the
citizens of Boise. He had mo i'll feel
ing or ill will toward any person"
The Judge and Senator Borah, he said,
had been fair to him, and he did not
even blame Governor Gooding for the
position he had taken. Both barrow
and Richardson said the trial had been
fair. Harry Orchard said: ''Well,
have done my duty. l told the truth
l could do no more. I am ready to
take any punishment that may be
melted out to me for my crime, and
the sooner it comes the better"
Statements made by Governor Good
ing and Senator Borah dispelled the i'm
preston that the cases against Meyer,
Pettibone and Simpkins would not be
pressed. Meyer was, however, admit
ted to bail in 5000, furnished by the
Butte local of the Miners federation.
The trial of Pettibone will come off at
the next term of the court Haywood
is to go back to Denver at once to re-
sumo his work where he left it off,
but already he is in great demand to
address meetings of labor unions and
Socialists in all parts of the country,
and the latter are booming him for the
presidential nomination.

Pittsburg Coal company. This will
involve over $1,000 men, about 1900 Of
whom have already quit work. The
mine workers charge that the coal
company has violated the scale agree
ment by failure to comply with the
eight hour clause, that the dead work
scale IS not paid and that the check
for union dues is not being observed
The general manager of the coal COM
pany states that no specific violation
of the scale agreement has ever been

Greek American Steamship Line.
The establishment Of the first steam
ship line operating between Greece and
the United States was signalized by
the recent arrival in New York harbor
Of the Greek ship Moraitis Of the Hell
lenic Transatlantic line. She is said to
be the first passenger steamship to
visit New York and incidentally is
the largest merchantmen under Grecian
colors. She has cabin accommodations
for 100 passengers and Storage quar-
tiers for 1000. Her capacity is 5000
tons and her speed about fourteen
knots. The intention is to add two
more vessels to the line, so as to give
a ten day sailing service in the near

Treasury Makes Good Showing.
The report of the operations of the
United States treasury department for
the month of July, the first Of the fiscal
year, shows a gratifying reduction OF
the deficit which is always anticipated
for this particular month by reason of
the many appropriations which become
available at the beginning of the new
fiscal year. The deficit this year was
$1O,9O1, $50 as compared with $13,511,-
147 for the same month last year. The
customs receipts showed an increase
of over 100000, while the income
from internal revenue was about $780,
600 above that for July, 1906.
BattIeship Tests Big Dry Dock.
The new concrete dry dock at the
League Island navy yard, Philadelphia,
received it's first government test July
81, when the 1000 ton battleship
Kearsarge was successfully locked.
This dock is 754 feet long and 140 feet
wide, being the largest in the United
States and one Of the largest in the
world. It's cost was $1,5O0,O0O.
Our Big Stock of Gold.
Retiring Director of the Mint George
e. Roberts, who has for number OF
years been conducting an inquiry for
the purpose Of verifying the treasury
estimates of the stock of gold in the
United States. gives it as his conclu-
sion that the amount of gold coin and
bullion now in the United States treas
ury and the banks and In circulation
amounts to 81 AGA ,S45,2SO.

the United States government has been
obliged to lease the British steamer
Dunottar Castle for service in connec-
ton with the Panama Railway and
Steamship company, although the nayi-
cation laws forbid the use of foreign
bottoms in coastwiSe trade in the case
of individuals or corporations. The

ing to the fact that LEGAL conditions in
many cases make comparisons impos-
sible. For instance, the presence of
natural gas at Wheeling makes it diff
cult to compare the municipal plant
Of that city with the private plants
Of such cities as Atlanta and Norfolk.
Similarly geographical conditions must
be taken into consideration in compar-
ing the public waterworks of Syracuse
with the private waterworks of In
dianapolis. In the former city the
water flows by gravity, while in the
latter it must be pumped.
Nevertheless the committee desires to
warn the public against the danger Of
turning over utilities to the present gov
are not up to the type of government
in British cities. In England and
Scotland it finds business men taking
pride in serving as councillors Or
aldermen, and the governments Of
Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and
citizens, affording conditions favora BILE
to municipal operation. The commit
tee admits the truth Of the charge
that the unwillingness of American
cities to secure a better class Of men
in their government is due to the po-
litical activity Of public service cor
porations. However, it Is unable
ito recommend municipal ownership as
a political panacea." In general the
committee believes that public utili-
ties, whether in public or private
hands, are best conducted under a
system of regulated monopoly; that
utilities in which the sanitary motive
largely enters should be operated by
the public; that the success of munich
pal operation depends on the high
capacity Of city for self government;
that franchises to private corporations
should be terminable after a fixed Pc
riod and subject to purchase at fair
value; that cities should have the
power to enter the field of ownership
upon popular vote; that private COM
panies should be subject to public
regulation and full publicity.
