WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE6. 1867.

A CoTEMPORARY says that every days
developments in France emphasize the
fact that the recent sailors and long
shoremen's strike in that country was
directed primarily against the govern
ment and was deliberately meant to try
out the issue of strength between the
government and the socialistic COnfed-
Grafton of Labor. The s.dks's them
sslves make no secret of that tact. They
exploit it and boast of it. Nor, worst OF
all, do they restrict the strike to a pure
ly domestic issue between themselves and
their government, but, by arranging 6
coincidence of dates so as to cooperate
with strikers in other countries, they be-
tray the formidable characteristic OF the
old Internationale, which aimed at the
subversion of all sentiments Of national
patriotism in favor of sympathy with
universal humanity. In other words,
these French strikers, in order to coerce
the French government, are allying them
selves with and are seeking and using
the aid of the citizens of other lands.
The spirit of unrest is pervading every
country, and labor connections have long
since become chronic. The disorders in
cident to such unfortunate conditions
are becoming alarming, and there is NO
telling to what extremes many misguid-
ed instigatOrs of turbulence may go. The
dynamiting OF crowded street car in
San Francisco on Monday was an object
lesson. No arrests were made and the
perpetrators of the outrage will probably
go unpunishe Forty pounds OF dyna-
mite in sticks resting under a much
travelled bridge were found by two boys
in Jersey City Monday afternoon. The
explosive was in two tin boxes and three
quart milk bottles. The dynamite was
placed where found preparatory to blow
ing up the bridge. James Hawley,
senior prosecutor in Boise City, Idaho,
where William Haywood is being tried
on the charge OF murder in connection
with the death of Governor Steunenberg,
in his opening statement yesterday made
a sweeping arraignment OF the inner
circle" of the Federation of Miners, who
were charged with plotting wholesale
murder aud hiring assassins, all in
giant conspiracy of vengeance upon those
who INSTRUCTED their sway, to destroy op-
position by terrorism, to control the po-
litical destinies of the communities COW
cred by their organization and to per-
petuate their own power within the or
ganization. 1t charged a widespread
conspiracy dating in inception from the
north Idaho disturbance, - years ago,
down to the murder of Frank Steunen-
berg, a conspiracy whose murdered vic
Tins, by bullet and bomb, numbered
scores. Hawley declared that wherever
in the mining sections of the coast states
the federation had been in control there
had been left trail of blood to mark its
operations. OF the hired assassins he
cried: ''To them murder became trade
and assassination a means of living"
The rank and file of the masses of labor
ing men are not generally responsible
for acts as described above. They are
perpetrated by certain leaders, inner
circles or parasites who, for their own
aggrandizement, pretend 10 esPonse the
cause of the labOring element.

JUDGE FAvROT FREE

Baton Rouge, La, April 12.-After
being in jail since November 7, 1906,
when he shot and killed his family
physician, DR.. r. H. Aldrich, Congress
man-elect George K Favrot was re.
stored to his wife and son last night,
having been virtually exonerated
through the grand jury refusing to find
an indictment.
The first to get to the Jail with the
news for Mr.. Favrot was his 14-year-
old son, George. Mrs. Favrot broke
down from joy when she saw her hus-
band coming home tree man.
The failure of the grand jury to in
dict Favrot practically means the up
holding of the unwritten law in Louisi-
ana. Aldrich was charged by Favrot
with making disparaging remarks
against Mrs. Favrot. The physician
received note from Favrot warning
him that he would be killed on sight.
The shooting took place Immediately
after an exciting election and while
Favrot was still judge of the Baton
Rouge court, which yesterday set nim
free. He resigned and was indicted
by grand jury, which had been Sc
lected under his jurisdiction before the
shooting. Because one of the jurymen
was llliterate the finding was quashed.

stated at the district attorneys office,
however, that there Is on the records
a decision of the Court of Appeals
Of this state holding that it is entire
ly within the discretion of presiding
judge to order the jury locked up as
long as seems to him proper.
The mother, wife and the two sis
tiers and brothers of the defendant
were in the Criminal courts building
up to the last minute, and when 1t was
finally announced that the jury had
been locked up over night and there
was no longer any prospects of a YER
dict before today. they returned to
their hotel crestfallen. They had
hoped and looked for a decision and
the news that they would have to pass
another night in doubt and anxiety
was received with keen disappoint-
ment.
Jury's Attitude Mystery.
Last night was the second night
that the jury has been locked up n
the bare jury room, whose only fur
niture is long table and some hard
chairs. Contrary to what has occur
red at many other famous murder
trials no information leaked out of
the jury room regarding the attitude
of the jurors towards conviction or
acquittal that could be regarded in
the least reliable,
Various rumors were afloat. Most
Of them had it that the jury stood 10
to or 8 to 8 for conviction, but on
investigation it proved that all of the
rumors were nothing better than
guesses.
Soon after it was announced that
the jury was to be shut up for the
night Thaw was taken from the pen
back to his cell. AS he left the pen
he handed out to the reporters this
note:
ut is great satisfaction that all
of my family continues well. regret
that SO many officials and others have
SO much extra work"
Thaw Keeps UP Courage.
Thaw looked well, and appeared to
be in good spirits. About an hour be.
fore he learned that the jury was to
be locked up for the night Chaplain
| Wade of the Tombs called on him in
the pen. the chaplain had attended
the sale of Stanford Whites pictures
| held at Mendelssohn hall. He told
huW oOOoI eA1S pliSSo IllL Tic pic
lures brought, and the accused man
seemed greatly interested in what the
chaplain had to say.
Thaw's mother and mis- wife were 60
ing down the stairs on their way out
when Thaw was being taken to his cell
He leaned over the railing and called
to them. They stopped, raised thei1
wells, and waved their hands.
"Sleep WELL" he said
If the jury fails to agree Thaw will
be tried again, but not before October
That statement was made by District
Attorney Jerome at midnight.
Crowds Hangs Around All Day.
All day today there was big crowd
hanging around the criminal court
building, much bigger than on any
previous day of the trial 1t began
to gather before 8 o'clock and by tT
the corridors of the court buil6ang
were SO thronged that more police
men We're sent for to keep everybod,
moving. But though the crowd gath
cred it was unable to satisfy its, curl
osity, for nobody was admitted 70 tbs
