JUDGES CHARGE FREED HIM
Governor GOOding Surprised-Others
Must Stand Their Trials

The probability of a verdict of ac-
Quittal in the case of the secretary
treasurer and acknowledged leader Of
the Western Federation of Miners had
Oeen freely predicted since Judge Ere
mont Wood read his charge. which
was regarded as strongly favoring the
defense in it's Interpretation Of the
laws of conspiracy, circumStantial evil
dence and the confederation of an &C
complete who cOnfesses. Among the
Jurors the judges charge was very eff
fective, Samuel d. Gilman, the last
man to be won over to the defense,
declared that majority of the men
seemed convinced that the general
tone of the courts instructions in
Dictated that the defendant should be
freed, and this is corrobOrated by the
remarks of others of the jury. Nc
Bean voted consistently for acquittal
from the first, holding that the judges
instructions settled all doubt as to the
course he should take.
1t was also freely predicted that in
the event of Haywood's acQuittal the
state would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Meyer and Pettibone
Statements from counsel and from
Governor Gooding dis'pel this view or
the situation. Governor Gooding said:
"The verdict is great surprise to me-

The Limit Of Life

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of hu-
man life is many years below the attain
ment possible with the advanced knowl-
edge of which the race is now possessed.
The critical period, that determines it's
duration, seems to be between so and so;
the proper care of the body during this
decade cannot be too strongly urged;
carelessness then being fatal to longev-

Looks Easy, but Try 1t.

Did you ever notice jeweler wear
ing his magnifying glass in one eye? 1t
looks easy, but try it. The inexperi-
enced citizen who tries to look at some
thing with such glass is sure to close
one eye He can't look at the magnified
object with the other eye opened, as
can the jeweler. This is only another
evidence that one must learn all the

GREAT REJOICING IN UTAH.
State Legislature CongratuIates Sen.
ate, Smoot and Sutherland.

Salt Lake City, Feb. %. - Among
the active Republicans and the leaders
of the Mormon church there was great
rejoicing when the news came from
Washington that Senator Smoot had
been sustained. By unanimous standing
vote the lower house of the Utah legis-
lature adopted the following joint reso-
luton, which was also introduced in
the senate:
"Be it resolved by the legislature of
the state of Utah, that, in determining
that Hon. Reed Smoot is entitled to
his seat, the United States senate has
stood for constitutional rights against
powerful influences and has avoided a
dangerous precedent.
Therefore, the thanks and the con-
gratulations of the state of Utah are
hereby extended to the senate for its
final action in this case.
Personal congratulations are sent to
Senator Smoot and his colleague, Sena-
tor Sutherland, and to the other sena-
tors who spoke and voted in protection
OF the rights of the state of Utah"

HELP A GOOD CAUSE.
The Fred Douglas Homestead to be
Preserved.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala, Feb. 1,
19O7-It is now nearly twelve years
since Frederick Douglass, to whom
the negro people owe more than to
any other man of our race, for the
part he took in securing our freedom,
died in Washington. His home at
Anacostia, in the suburbs of Wash
1ngton, still remains, however, and
an effort is now being made to pre-
serve this house with it's memories
and traditions and make it a perma-
nent memorial to Douglass and the
negro people.
An association, known as the Fred
erick Douglass Memorial and Histor-
ical Association, has been formed to
effect this purpose. The people OF
our race have a rare opportunity to
honor the memory of Frederick
Douglass and to show their reverence
and love for the man, who during
the trying times before and after the
war, embodied in his own life, more
than any other man of our race, the
aspirations and the cause of the ne
gro people. l have been asked by
the officers of the Memorial associa-
tion to assist in securing the COM
POI o1ANOAJ VI u1OAGy
amounting to $5,4OO and interest
necessary to clear off the mortgage
on the property and so secure the
property for all time to the associa-
tion and the negro people of tho
United States. We should make Ce-
dar Hill to the negro people what
Mount Vernon is to the white race.
All of this can be accomplished il
every member of the race would con-
tribute, at once, small sum of
money and send it to me by post
Office order, check, or otherwise, as
soon as this communication is read.

parts of the country, for the race to
show its love for Douglass not only

HUNDREDS LOST.
Big Steamer Wrecked and Passengers
Washed Overheard.

/ London, Feb. 22.-The worst disaster
foi many years in the history of the
busy cross-chanel traffic between Eng
land and the continent occurred during
violent gale shortly before 6 O'Clock
this morning, when the Rotterdam
mail steamer Berlin, from Harwich to
Hook OF Holland, having satisfactorily
weathered the hurricane, was wrecked
as she was entering port.
Altogether 143 persons are either dead
or clinging hopelessly to the wreck.
The terrific seas broke upon the
steamer with such awful suddenness
that attempts to save life appear to
have been utterly hopeless. Late to-
night it is reported that few surviv-
ors were clinging to the wreck, but as
the heroic efforts all day of the lifeboat
crews had failed to reach them, little
hope that they will be saved remains.
The cause has not yet been assigned
for the disaster and it probably never
will be known how the steamer came to
miss the channel. 1t is conjectured
that some arrangement of the engines
" S'oOiAHS gear may nave TeHu0rou the
vessel uncomfortable. Captain Pre-
clous has a good record of IA years ser.
vice.
The list of passengers was lost, and
all the names of those who were on
board have not yet been learned, but as
far as has been ascertained there were
no Americans among them.
A terrific southwest gale was blow
ing inshore, and drove the steamer on
a sand bank close to the northern jetty
as she was trying to enter the new
waterway. Heavy seas quickly pound
ed the vessel to pieces. She broke in
two, her fore part sinking immedi-
ately, while the doomed passengers
and crew clustered upon the after part. |

friends claim to have 43 sure republican
votes and anywhere from six to ten
democrats. The probabilities are the
senate will hold that it will take two
thirds vote to GUST Smoot, in which
event 81 votes would save him; but if
it is decided that a majority vote would
vacate his seat, he will still have the
necessary 46 votes and some to spare.

STATEHOOD STRIKES sNAe.= ::
Farmers Are WearYing of Oklahoma
Constitutional Convention.

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 19-Anxious tc
get busy with their plowing and fearing
they will not receive pay for Ions
time, if ever, for their attendance on
the constitutional convention, many of
the farmer delegates have scattered to
their homes, intimating that they will
not return unless it is to vote for the
document as a whole when it is com
pleted by the few men in control of the
convention.
The expense of the convention to
date above the 100000 appropriation
made by congress is nearly $500
Pay of the delegates has stopped, and
if congress does no come to the rescue
with an additional appropriation, some
of the delegates will be in. bad way,
as they cannot afford to stay longer at
their own expense. Advices are COM
ing in from the state that citizens here
and there are subscribing to funds to
send the delegates back to their jobs.
Neighborly farmers who do not wish
to see the convention entirely in the
hands of the lawyers, the politicians
and the urban element, have promised
to take care of the farm work of the
rural statesmen. The daily attendance
at the session is now less than rs per
cent of the 122 delegates, and many of
those still here sit sullenly in their
seats and let the leaders run things to
suit themselves.
Prominent delegates from Indian Ter
ritory and some from Oklahoma are
openly charged with a plot to defeat
statehood entirely by drawing up con-
that will be rejected by the
people at the election next August. Those
involved in the alleged plot have been
against making one state out of the two
territories for political reasons. Dis
affection has now begun to pervade the
democratic members as well as those
on the republican side,. and charges of
bossism have become SO persistent that
there is apprehension the convention
may break up.

The following letter, written to
me by the officers of the Frederick
Douglass Memorial and Historical
Association, will make. the situation
clear:
Washington, d. c., Dec. II, 1906.
Dear Mr.. Washington:
There is an encumbrance of fifty
four hundred dollars ($540O), bear
Ing per cent interest, payable semi
annually against the Douglass prop
erty. This property consists of about
fourteen acres in the heart of Ana
costa, on hill giving a beautiful
view OF the Potomac river and city
for several miles. 1t is the opinion
or experts that when the government
completes the new bridge and the
reclamation of the flats, this property
will be worth $4,000 an acre. Its
actual worth is now 81 500 an acre.
1t is exempt from taxes by the act
OF congress Incorporating the Fred
erick Douglass Memorial and His
tor1cal Association. The association
needs at least the $5,40O to lift
the mortgage. In the course of time
about nine acres of the property
could be cut up into building lots
and sold, and with the proceeds of
such sale Cedar Hill could be en-
dowed with ample funds to meet the
wants of the Douglass Memorial As
sociation in perpetuity.
