BOISE, July 29.-Charles A..
Meyer, president of the miners fed
Grafton, was released from prison
this morning on ball.
George A. Pettibone is still he'd
and the prosecution announces that
both will be prosecuted notwith-
standing Haywood's acquittal. Gov
enor Gooding is especially en-
phatic in declaring that the prose-
cutlon will go on.
Haywood is preparing to leave
for Denver with his family. He is
overcome today with congratula-
tons from all over the country.
With the stiffness of the tomb
prevailing in the courtroom, and
the nerves Of those most closely
concerned almost at the breaking
point, the jury at o'clock yester-
day morning returned a verdict Of
not guilty in the famous trial Of
William D. Haywood, accused of
completely in the assassination of
Ex-Governor Steunenberg.
The moment the words were pro.
nonuced Haywood seemed to under
70 transformation. He was plainly
strong and confident when he en-
tered the courtroom, but the ter
rible strain had told on him heavily
and his eye never left the jurymen
after they slowly filed into the
room.
Amidst the flood of congratula-
tions that poured over the acquitted
man Judge Wood formally dis
charged the defendant and the jury.
Haywood left the room as soon as
he could and went to the Jail,
where he told his colleagues, Moy-
err and Pettibone, and shook hands
all round. Then he hurried to ST.
Luke's hospital, where his aged
mother was suffering critically
from worry. His greeting was
most affecting and the news of her
sons acquittal had a marvellous
effect on the stricken woman.
Then Haywood hurried home to
the invalid wife and little daugh-
tiers who awaited him in the cot
tage they have occupied since COM
inc to Boise for the trial. That
meeting can be poorly imagined and
cannot be described. For nearly 2
years the family had been separat-
ed, Haywood having been taken
from their home at Denver at
night and kept in prison under a
charge that meant death II sus-
tanned.
From statements given out by
jurymen the first ballot taken after
Thomas Cess had been elected fore
man stood 8 for acquittal, for
conviction and 2 blank, the latter
being cast by Foreman Cess and
A. P. Burns. On the second ballot
Cess voted for acquittal. Burns
followed on the next ballot and
there the vote stood for hours,
Thomas Powell and S. d. Gilman
holding out for conviction in some
form.
Shortly before 4 a. M, Sunday,
Powell decided to vote for acquit-
tai. Gilman had meanwhile gone
to sleep and was not reused until
o'clock when another ballot was
asked for. Gilman then cast his
ballot In favor Of Haywood and
Judge Wood was notified that an
agreement had been reached.
Judge Wood responded promptly
and was in his courtroom before
the attorneys interested arrived
Haywood was also on hand before
Darrow came and told those who
spoke to him that he was feeling
we'll and hopeful.
Worn by the weeks Of trial and
the strain of 81 hours in the sitting
jury room wrestling with the ver-
diet, the Jury filed slowly into the

EXCHANGE BANK WILL
LOWER FLOOR

Plans are being drawn for the
remodeling of the interior of the
Exchange National bank, corner
Riverside av. and Howard st. The
floor will be torn out and replaced
on the level with the street. This
will mean the vacation of the base
ment by the United Cigar stores
the Sloggy & Pike saloon and the
Nichols Real Estate G. Investment
Co.
All the old established banks in
the city have entrances built up of
the street, and the departure OF
the Exchange will probably mean
that other banking institutions will
follow suit. Several thousand dol.
lars will be expended in the i'm.

The PRESS TOLD
NEWS FIRST

Approaching the intense
interest in the outcome of
the Haywood trial The
Press was prepared Satur-
day night and Sunday
morning to flash the verdict
on the street in an extra
edition as soon as 1t ar
rived.
In consequence The Press
had the news on the street
half an hour in advance of
the Spokesman.Review, al
though that paper had just
finished printing its morn
ing edition, it's men on hand
and machinery warm and in
shape for fast work.
This clean beat was
achieved in spite of the
boosted service of the AS
ISOLATED Press, which had
been, or should have been,
in close touch with the
courtroom all night and
should have been ready for
the first intimation of a
verdict. The news came
when an afternoon papers
service is, as a rule,
dormant.
The Associated Press was
counting on the biggest
scoop of the year, and pos
sibly 1t succeeded in some
cities, but beating the morn
ing paper in Spokane was
such an easy matter that
The Press almost feels like
apologizing for mentioning
it.

RESIGNATION OF
THE PUBLIC
LIBRARIAN
MISS BAKER SEWERS HER CON-
NECTION WITH THE HONOLULU
LIBRARY-IS TO BE MARRIED.

Miss Gertrude Baker Librarian Of
the Honolulu Library, has resigned
Her resignation is an incident in a
very pleasing matter
When she came here it was with the
expectation both on her part and on
the part of the trustees that she would
remain a year. But to the surprise of
the Board of Trustees at their last
meeting her resignation, to take effect
next month, was presented.
There was no official explanation Of
the change of plans, but there was an
unofficial one which could not fail to
satisfy the Board, and call for their
congratulations Miss Baker is to be
married.
Miss Baker was engaged when she
came here, it seems, but there was an
understanding with her fiance that
the marriage was not to take place
for a year But absence makes the
heart grows fonder, and now Mr. Phil
lips, to whom she is to be- married, is
expected here by the Siberia, May IL.
They are to be married and go to
Japan for a wedding trip.

predecessor, resigned only a short time

The School
Board
MADE AN INQUIRY YESTERDAY
INTO THE RECENT APPOINT
MENT OF MISS HADLEY.

There was a meeting of the commit
tee from the Legislature with the
Board Of Education yesterday relative
to the action of the Board in appoint
ing Miss Hadley principal of the La
haina school over the recommendation
of Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Babbitt and his inspectors. The
school superintendent and his inspect
ors had recommended Mrs. Cannon for
the place.
1t appeared from the statements of
members of the Board that Bishop
Restarick and Sister Albertina had
been interesting themselves in the ap-
pontment of Miss Hadley In reply to
questions by the members of the leg
islature, the members of the school
board stated that they had disregard
ed the recommendation of the superin-
tendent and named Miss Hadley, be-
cause they felt that she as one of the
subordinate teachers in the Lahaina
school should be promoted and given
''Ai Sh''OA NAAAANJ LOl Oil clNlN NeiilCC III Iltl
position in the schools. The outside
interest in her favor had not however
influenced them in the least
The superintendent explained that
he had favored the appointment of
Mrs. Cannon because she was, he
thought, better qualified and in every
way competent to be principal. The
members Of the Board who were pres
ent, Mrs Dowsett, w. r. Farring-
ton, c. ]. Hutchins and F. S. Dodge,
passed a resolution reconfrming their
previous appointment of Miss Hadley.
The purpose of the members of the
legislative committees was to ascer-
tain the charges of favoritism that
have been preferred against the school
department. The conference took
place in consequence of the resolution
introduced by Representative Pail in
the House yesterday. The committees
will report later. They may recon-
mend that the school board be abolish
ed entirely.

THE MUNICIPAL.
BILL WILL HAVE
HARD SHEDDING
IN THE HOUSE
AT LEAST SUCH is THE TIP GIVEN
OUT NOw-MANY AMENDMENTS
ARE READY.

Senate bill AZ the municipal act to
incorporate the city of Honolulu came
up in the House this morning for a
3rd reading. The bill which is 56 pages
in length occupied about an hour and
half of the time of the House to read
and Clerk Wise was about worn ou,
when the job was finished. After the
reading of the bill Rawlins took the
floor in opposition to the measure. He
expressed himself as favoring an IN
corporated city government for Homo
lulu, but he had found numerous de-
fects in the charter which he consider
ed vital
Rawlins objected to the section of the
bill giving the Board Of Supervisors of
the city power of condemnation of
property.
He also thought the bill to be in con-
hict with the Organic Act, relative to
one bill containing but one subject.
Another objection which he found
was that no provision had been made
for the new city's assuming any of the
liabilities of the present county govern
ment, which it would supersede.
He then moved that the vote on the
bill be deferred until tomorrow after
noon at 3 O'clock which carried.
There was no further discussion of
the bill, but it is understood that va
rious amendments will be suggested to-
morrow and there is prospect that the
bill will have rough shedding before it
reaches the governors hands.
