Statement by Haywood. Sunday night Haywood issued the following statement: "I appreciate the support of the working class e^r tended to us by worklngiaen through" out the country. "I have no feeling nor ill-will toward any person; I am charitable toward all. My intention is to go back to Denver and take up my work wherfc I left off when I was placed under ar­ rest.

"I do appreciate, and in so stating, express the sentiments of my com­ panions in jail, the courtesies extended SKETCHE8 OF DEFENDANT IN GREAT CONSPIRACY CASE TAKEN IN COURT. Boise, Idaho.--Into the bright sun­ light of a beautiful Sabbath morning William D. Haywood, defendant in one of the most noted trials involving conspiracy and murder that the coun­ try has ever known, walked Sunday a free man, acquitted of the murder of the former Gov. Frank Steunenberg./ The probability of a verdi*t of ac­ quittal In the case of the secretary- treasurer and acknowledged leadet of the Western Federation of Miners had been freely predicted since Saturday, •when Judge Fremont Wood read his charge, which was regarded as strong­ ly favoring the defense in its interpre­ tation of the laws of conspiracy, cir­ cumstantial evidence and the corrobo­ ration of an accomplice who confesses. It was also freely predicted that in the event of Haywood's acquittal the state would abapdon the prosecution of his associates, Charles H. Moyer, the president of the federation, and George A. Pettibone, of Denver. Statements from counsel and from k| s>os A great deal has been said about the facility of the Japanese in adopt­ ing and adapting western methods. Even our language appears to gain something from their use of it. It is told of one of Gen. Kuroki's party that when his opinion of America was asked, he replied: "Your country is full of remarkabilities, but I find the weather curseworthy." Two note- Worthy new words in a single breath! The sultan of Turkey has just be­ come father to his thirteenth living child, a baby daughter. The eldest child of the sultan is Prince Selim, who is 37 years old. He is in disgrace, and does not rank as the heir appar­ ent. The sultan, in order to reduce the number of pretenders to the throne, has established the practice of marrying his daughters to persons of little consequence, from whom no political dangers need be feared. He is genuinely fond of one daughter, the beautiful 20-yearold Princess Ayishe, born of a Circassian mother. She has received a European education. Oysters in their native waters are wild animals. So the attorney general of New York lately informed an as­ sessor who asked him whether he should assess oyster-beds as real or personal property. When oysters are artificially planted, according to this legal opinion, they become "domesti­ cated, tame, or 'garden' oysters," and as such are personal property. Al­ though the attorney general does not interpret the law concerning salsify, or oyster-plant, it is probable that the, courts would hold that this also, fbk tamed, is personal property. It cer­ tainly would be when cooked and ftpJten. ief' Although at the retiring age. Jus­ tice David J.

The state will continue a vigorous prosecution of Moyer and Pettibone and Adams and of Simpkins when ap­ prehended. There will be neither hes­ itation nor retreat." Hastens to Hie Mother. Haywood's first thought was of his aged mother, who Saturday had suf­ fered a nervous breakdown after the Jury had retired. Leaving the court­ room in company with Attorney Nu­ gent, he walked down to the jail por­ tion of the building, shaking hands as he went with guards, employes and friends who had arrived on the scene. He bade farewell to Moyer, who when he heard the verdict, said: "That's good," and to Pettibone, whom Dar- row described to the Jury as a "sort of 'Happy Hooligan,' " and who called: Give my regards to Broadway." Then Haywood walked to St. Luke's hos­ pital and unannounced rushed into his mother's room. So great was the tonic upon the elderly woman that Sunday night she was up and about and happy. Next Haywood went to the little cottage where his wife and daughters have been stopping. Jurors Explain the Verdict. Inquiry among the Jurors after their dismissal revealed some of the ele­ ments entering into their decision. Samuel D. Gilnlan, the larst man to be won over to the defense, declared that majority of the men seemed con­ vinced that the general tone of the court's Instructions indicated that the defendant should be freed. Finley Mc- Beaa, who voted consistently for ac­ quittal from the first, declared that the judge's instructions seemed to set­ tle all doubt as to the course he should take. Juror James Robertson, the good-na- tured Scotchman, at whose house here in Boise Gov. Steunenberg boarded for more than two years, said: 'I could not reconcile myself to vot­ ing any other way than with the de­ fense from the very first, aud I think that under the law and the evidence there was nothing else for us to do.

FOURTEEN PERISH IN FIRE DI8A8TER IN TENEMENT QUAR­ TER OF NEW YORK CITY. "'Explosion and Flames Wreck Bulld- --Victims Are Caught Under Blazing Walls. York.--Nearly 100 panic- stricken men, women and children fought to escape from a burning East Side tenement that was wrecked by an explosion late Sunday night, and in the mad scramble at least 14 were killed and a score or more injured, half of them fatally. The horror was a repetition of" the Iferiodlcal blaze that sweeps through the densely populated foreign section of the city, and is almost invariably attended with panic and death. The wrecked building was at 222 Ohrlstie street, where a six-story tenement rose above the grocery store basement. An explosion as yet unaccounted for tore out the front of the building and the fire that followed caught the 20 fam­ ilies, numbering about 100 persons, while most of them were sound asleep. Of the injured many Jumped from the windows, others were caught by falling timbers, many half suffocated by smoke were dragged from the hall­ ways, while others received their wounds during the panic and mad fight among each other for an exit. The tenement was occupied chiefly by Italians. A passerby was attracted by the explosion which apparently oc­ curred on the basement floor. As he turned toward the building the whole front, with its flimsy fire escapes, fell into the street, and from the sagging floors a score of half awakened per­ sons were dropped into the street. Many of these were badly hurt, but they proved to be the more fortunate TOGA FOR JOHNSTON. CLARENCE DARROW.

Calls on a Dying Man. John Murphy, general counsel for the Western Federation of Miners, who, in spite of the fact that he is wasted to a skeleton by consumption, has* almost daily occupied a place at the defense table throughout the trial, was unable to be present at the clos­ ing argument or Bcenes. He is now dying in the hospital here. Haywood called on him early Sunday, and the scene between the two is said to have been most affecting, flaywood lifted the slight form of the dying man In hia arms, and Murphy is quoted as say­ ing between stifled gasps: "Bill, in this hour of your great tri­ umph, be humble and th&ftfcful." the building was wrapped in ftames and the cries of persons burning to death rent the air. In the wild panic that followed many received mortal in­ juries. Of the dead and dying a large part are women and children. In the scramble for an exit and safety, the stronger in most cases survived. POLICE 8EIZE RED BANNER*. Socialist Parade at Hancock, Mich., Broken Up with Clubs.

Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, and co-defendant with Wil­ liam D. Haywood, acquitted Sunday of the murder of former Gov. Steunen­ berg, was ordered released on $25,000 bail Monday by Judge Wood, who pre­ sided at the Haywood trial. The attorneys- for the federation ex­ pected . to have the bond ready for filing Monday night, but the arrange* ments had not been wholly completed at a late hour, and Moyer resigned himself to another night in jail. No application for bail was made la the case of George A. Pettibone, the third of the alleged conspirators, but h motion way made for a speedy, trial, and his case Wjas ordered set for Tuesday, October 1. Counsel intima­ ted that they might apply for bond for Pettibone later, but it is not believed that the state's attorneys will consent. It has been generally claimed that the state has more incriminating evi­ dence against Pettibone than any of the others, while -it has been generally conceded that the case against Moyer Is the weakest of the three. Bond for Moyer is to be given ip a unique way, suggested by Attorney Peter Breen, of Butte, Mont., who has been associated with the defense. The Butte local of the Western Federation of Miners is the richest in the organi­ zation, and, Mr. Breen said, carries a deposit of from $100,000 to $140,000 constantly in the bank. Arrangements were made by wire by Mr. Breen to have the Butte union make $25,000 subject to draft b,y the First National bank of Boise.

Olindo, Ital­ ians, who said they had been held in slavery for 22 months on a Mississippi plantation and had just escaped, caused United States District Attor­ ney Blodgett Wednesday to institute an investigation into the alleged peon­ age.

His operations extend, he says, over a period of nine years. Black was in­ trusted with the business of many clients. One of his clients! and a trusting friend, was Dr. F. W.
