NEW YORK, July 29.-President Roose-
welt, not William D. Haywood, is the
undesirable citizen" So said Alex
ander Jonas socialist leader and editor
of the Vollxs Zeitung, when asked how
he regarded the acquittal of Haywood.
His reply was perhaps the most pro-
nounced of many opinions by local So
ciaIists and organized union labor lead
ers, but jubilation was the key note of
them all. Moses Oppenheimer, the or
ganizer of the Moyer-Haywood confer
ence, in speaking at the meeting of the
Central Federated union, in which So
sialst and nonsocialist are represented,
said:
"I have been a great many years in
the labor movement, and in all my mem
ory this is the first time the working
class has exerted itself in the same way
as 1t was done in behalf of these men,"
meaning Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone.
Efforts will be made to persuade Hay
wood to come here next week to attend
a socialist parade and mass meeting
in his honor to be held in Madison
Square garden. 1t is expected that $4,000
persons will be In the parade. The New
York socialists claim to have been the
first to come to the financial aid of
Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone. They
contributed $4,000 of the fund of s1O0, 900
raised for the defense.

LONDON. July 2.-"The system of
government in the Congo Independent
State is one of unrestrained tyranny, en-
forced by the bullet and by cruelty"
These words were spoken by Lord
Monskwell who raised the Congo ques-
ton in the house of lords today and
moved for the papers. The attendance
in the house was small
A general debate on the Congo question
followed, and a number of bishops were
among the speakers. The Earl of Mayo
advocated another international conven-
ton in the matter of the Congo, and fall
ing in that, the appointment of more
British consuls on the upper Congo. Lord
Fitzmaurice under secretary of foreign
affairs, speaking for the government
said they were not blind to the fact that
this matter was surrounded with grave
difficulties. He said 1t was an interna-
tional question and IL the house took any
sudden, rash action, it would run the
risk of injuring the cause 1t had at heart.
At the conclusion Of Lord Fitzmaurice E
address Lord Monskwell withdrew his
motion.

BERKELEY, Cal, July 29.-Engineer
James Mclaughlin and Irving McAfee
fireman, were seriously injured at s
o'clock this morning, when the boiler
of an engine pulling heavy Oakland
bound freight exploded with terrific force
on the main Pacific line just outside of
West Berkeley. The greater portion of
the train was derailed and heavy oil
cars were piled in heaps along the
track
The engineer and fireman leaped a
second after the explosion occurred.
McAfee was the most severely injured.
His left leg was broken and his face
and body badly lacerated. Engineer Nc
Laughlin was scalded by escaping steam
and his condition is serious.
Peter Bracken, a special railroad po-
liceman, was arrested at the scene of
the wreck by Local Policeman Davis
who acted on orders of the conductor
of the derailed train. Bracken seemed
much excited and, it is charged, had
poked a gun in the face of the driver
of the ambulance wagon, threatening to
shoot while the driver was aiding the
injured engineer and fireman. The sight
of the wreck and the suffering of the
| injured men is believed to have unnerved
| the special officer.

''This great victory for the good name

is to let the Haywood case die from the

A. P. Burns, juror No. II, said:
IT was firmly convinced when we left
the court room that the first ballot would
show a vote for conviction. l still retain
the belief that Haywood was guilty and
only changed my vote because it struck
me that if the evidence presented left
eight men unconvinced of the guilt of the

twelve men in another trial, and that 1t
would be better to settle the question by

Bright Outlook for Future

BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 29.-The Times today
publishes the opinions of score or more
of editors of trade publications on actual
trade conditions and the outlook The
opinions are almost unanimously opti-
mistic.
Trade authorities arguing from present
conditions and tendencies see In the out
look continuation and even an increase
in the prosperity which the country is at
present enjoying. 1t is pointed out as the
one negative feature in the situation is
that there is a scarcity of money in the
markets, but this very lack of money is
quoted as evidence of business activity.
For the moment, 1t is believed, this
stringency may act as a check to the
development of new enterprises. But In
the end, it is argued whatever forces
this money scarcity may exert will be
counteracted by the uniform stability of
the countrys crops and the disinclinatlon
on the part of business to decline from its
present standard~of activity.
