HAYWOOD NOT GUILTY
FOUR OF JURY GIVE IN AFTER
ALL-NI0Hc DISCUSSION.
Attorneys for Defendant Highly
Elated-Declare Trial Was Fair.
Haywood Visits His
Sick Mother.

Boise, Idaho. Into the bright sun
light Of a beautiful Sabbath morning.
into the stiffness of city drowsy with
the lazy slumbers of a summer Sunday.
William ID. Haywood, defendant in one
OF the most noted trials, involving con-
spiracy and murder, the country has
ever known, walked today q free man,
acquitted OF the murder OF former Gov.
Frank Steunenberg.
The probability OF a verdict OF ac-
quittal in the case Of the secretary
treasurer and acknowledged leader OF
the Western Federation Of Miners has
been freely predicted since yesterday,
when Judge Fremont Wood read his
charge, which was regarded as strongly
favoring the defense in its interpreta-
tion OF the laws OF conspiracy, circum-
stantial evidence and the corroboration
OF an accomplice who confesses.
1t was after being out for twenty-ons
hours that the jury, which had at first
been divided eight to four and then
seemed deadlocked at ten to two. fin
ally came to an agreement shortly after
the first faint streaks OF the coming
day, showing gray above the giant hills.
Tears welled to the eyes OF the man
who, during the eighty days of his trial.
had sat with stolid Indifference written
upon his every feature; at last the icy
armor he had thrown about himself
with the first day Of jury selection had
been pierced, and whatever OF pent-up
feeling had been contained within was
loosed. Haywood's attorneys were
fairly lifted from their seats, and Judge
Wood made no effort to restrain them
rs they surrounded him to shake his
hands and shout aloud their congratu-
lations.
Haywood's first thought was OF his
aged mother, who yesterda ny had suffer
ed complete nervous breakdown after
the jury had retired. Leaving the
courtroom he walked down 10 st. L.uke's
hospital and unannounced rushed into
his mothers room. So great was tho
tonic upon the elderly lady that tonight
she was up and about and happy.

Pape wept bitterly over the body and
attempted suicide. He was placed In

Farmers to Control Cotton.

The Farmers Union in this State is
moving steadily along the lines pro-
posed by the national organization to
secure control Of as much OF the cotton
crop as possible, and by relieving the
farmers and producers OF the burden OF
holding it for higher prices, to force
the middle men and spinners to pay a
fair price. The plan suggested as the
only feasible solution Of the difficulty.
is the building Of sufficient number OF
warehouses, established at convenient
places in every county, or two or three
such places IL necessary, in which the
farmer can store his cotton for a nomi-
nal fee, and y greatly reduced insur-
ance, until the market settles and a
