TOO MANY MEASURES

Dispute Between a Can Inspector and the Great Standard Oil Trust. BAYS HB WILL TIE THEM UP Merry Time Ahead at Indianapolis—- “ Plenty of Room” 100 Years » Ago—State News Notes. Indianapolis, July 31. The city authorities acting for Isidor Wulfson, inspector of weights and measures, in agreeing to a smaller fee for the inspection of the Standard Oil company’s gasoline and oil cans and submitting the proposition to the company, met with a rebuff. The company declined the proposition. According to Wulfson the action of the company was the opening gun of a war which will now be waged to compel the trust to obey the city ordinance. Will Worry the Company. He said notice would be given the officials of the company that the regular Inspection of the 00,000 or more cans used daily by the company would have to be made and paid for, and that unless the ordinance was complied with to the letter, the wagons of the company would be stopped and the drivers arrested. Wulfson advised that small dealers and consumers in general prepare for an emergency by supplying themselves In advance of the threatened trouble.

Has a Ix»t of Cana. The city ordinance provides that dealers shall pay an Inspection fee of 5 cents for a gallon can, 10 cents for two-gallon cans, etc., in the yearly inspection of weights and measures. There has been little if any objection to the ordinance on the part of any dealers except the Standard Oil company This company has about 80,000 one-gallon cans. three-foin-tTis of the numtver being in daily use. The coinpnny objected to the Inspection because the large number of cans used by It made the payment of the inspection fee a burden. As a Matter of Course. Some time ago. according to Wulfson, the local manager of the company boasted to Wulf son and one of his deputies that if the company were com pelled to pay the regular fee for the inspection, that the company would Increase the price of oil and gasoline and thus compel, the public to shoulder the burden of the expense. To prevent tills It was proposed to Inspect Stand 8 r<l Oil cans at 1 cent a gallon. The (company offered $125 a year. And there It sticks.

WAS NOT IN THE PLOT

Haywood Absolved of Guilt in the Steunenberg Case by the Boise Jury. IT FIRST STOOD EIGHT TO FOUB Majority Being in Favor of the Primer’• Acquittal Minority Gradually Won Over to the Same View—Judge's Charge Is Influential—Defense Naturally Elated. Boise, Ida., July 29. William D. Haywood, secretary-treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, has been made a free man. The jury in his case rendered a verdict of not guilty at a few minutes after 8 a. m. yesterday, after deliberating for nearly thirty-three hours. The agreement in the jury room was readied just after daylight yesterday. Haywood came into court palpably nervous, but said he was “feeling well.” The court proceedings were brief, requiring less than three minutes. The twelve jurors who filed in looked completely tired out from their all-night work. Jury's Verdict Is Read. Judge Wood had been sent for shortly after 7 a. m., and when he had taken the bench, he said: "Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?” "We have,” said Thomas B. Gess, foreman. He handed an envelope to tbo judge who transferred it to the clerk who read: “Stateof Idaho against William D. Haywood: We, the jury in the above entitled case, find the defendant, William D. Haywood, not guilty.” Haywood a Free Man Again. The prisoner’s attorneys jumped to their feet and slapped Haywood on the back and all tried to grasp his hands at once. Judge Wood immediately ordered Haywood’s discharge. The jury stood deadlocked at 10 for acquittal to 2 for conviction most of the night, and ballots were taken at frequent intervals. On the very first ballot taken after the jury retired the vote was 8 for not guilty. 3 for mqrder, and one undecided. Then the undecided man went over to the majority, making it 9 to 3. One by one the members of the minority were won over until just after daylight yesterday, the unanimous agreement was reached. Fair Trial, Says the Defense. Governor Gooding was in the.court room when the verdict was rendered, lie had nothing to say and left in company with James H. Hawley, leading counsel for the state. None of the state counsel would comment on the verdict. Haywood thanked each, one of the jurors in turn and told them if they ever came to Denver there would be a warm welcome for them at the "Haywood home.” All the attorneys for the defense declared the trial perfectly fair. A self-constituted jury of twelve socialists which had attended every day of the trial reached a verdict uuaninuyisly which was published Saturday morning. It was “not guilty.”

JUDGE’S CHARGE FREED HIM

Governor Gooding Surprised—Others Must Stand Their Trials. Tlie probability of a verdict of acquittal in the ease of the secretarytreasurer and acknowledged leader of the Western Federation of Miners had peen freely predicted since Judge Fremont Wood read his charge, which was regarded as strongly favoring the defense in its interpretation of the laws of conspiracy, circumstantial evidence and the corroboration of an accomplice who confesses. Among the jurors the judge's charge was very effective, Samuel D. Gilman, the last man to be won over to the defense, declared that a majority of the men seemed convinced that the general tone of the court's instructions indicated that the defendant should be freed, and this is corroborated by the remarks of others of the jury. MoReau voted consistently for acquittal Horn the first, holding that the judge's instructions settled all doubt as to the course he should-take. It was also freely predicted that in the event of Haywood's acquittal the state would abandon the prosecution of his associates, Moyer and Pettibone. Statements from counsel and from Governor Gooding dispel this view or the situation. Governor Gooding said; “The verdict is a great surprise to me. and I believe to all citizens of Idaho who have heard or read the evidence in the case. I have done my duty. I have no regret as to any action I have taken, and my conscience is clear. As long as God gives me strength I shall continue m.v efforts for government by law and for organized society. The state will continue a vigorous prosecution of Moyer and Pettibone and Adams, and of Simpkins when apprehended. There will be neither hesitation nor retreat” Not the least Interesting of the comments made upon the verdict was that of Harry Orchard. When told at the state penitentiary that Haywood had been acquitted Orchard said: “Well. I have done my duty. I hare told tin truth. I could do no more. lam ready to take any punishment that may be meted out to me for my crime, and the sooner it comes the better.” Haywood Issued a statement In which he said: “I appreciate the support of the working class extended ts

country. I bope to be able during the coming year to personally express that appreciation. * • i* I wish to express appreciation of the wonderful support given to me by the presence In the court room during the trial of the representatives of labor, industrial and political organizations." . <

MOYER RELEASED

President of Western Federation Out on $25,000 Bonds. Boise, Ida., July 30. Charles H Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, and co-defendant with William D. Haywood, acquitted of the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg, has been ordered released on >23,000 bail by Judge Wood, who presided at tne Haywood trial. The attorneys for the Federation expected to have the bond ready for filing at onca but the arrangements had not beer, wholly completed at a late hour, and Moyer resigned himself to another night in jail. He will probably be released today, and will leave within twenty-four hours for his home at I»euver. No application for ball was made in the case of George A. Pettibone, the third of the alleged conspirators, but a motion was made for a speedy trial, and his case was ordered set down for Oct 1. Counsel intimated that they might apply for a bond for Pettibone later, but it is not believed that the state's attorneys will consent. It has been generally alleged that the state has more incriminating evidence against Pettibone than any of the oth ers. while it has been generally con ceded that the case against Moyer is the weakest of the tLree. The matter of releasing Moyer on bail and fixing the time for Pettibone’s trial came up before Judge Wood at 10 a. in., but was postponed until 2 p. m. to allow further conferences j>etween counsellor the defense and for the prosecution. Strenuous efforts were made to secure the consent of the state’s attorneys to the release of Pet tlbone, but without avail. Moyer ami Pettibone were brought into court at 2p. m. The latter’s wife was present, but broke down and cried when the order was made releasing Moyer and holding her husband.

It Was Back Down or Lose Jobs. The strike lasted about two and a half weeks, and was one entirely free from any disorder whatever. There were numerous conferences of the strikers, and at three of them letters setting forth the position of the company were read. The ra|lroad officials adopted a kindly tone in this final letter, stating that they were willing to treat with their men individually or by committee on an open shop basis, and the men, realizing evidently that unless they accepted the terms offered by the company they would not be able to get back their old jobs, voted to return to work.

PITTSBURG DISTRICT TROUBLES

Probability of a Strike of 14,000 Coal Miners. Pittsburg, Aug. ,I.—The possibility of a strike, participated in by all the miners in the Pittsburg* district, making over 14,000 men, became apparent here when a statement was Issued by Francis Feehan, president of district No. 5, United Mine Workers of America, in which he says that “The district executive board of the United Mine Workers of Pittsburg has instructed me today to stop all miners working who are employed by the Pittsburg Coal company in event of the company not immediately fully complying with all the provisions of the wage scale agreement” President Feehan said the strike had been ordered because the Pittsburg Coal company had persistently violated the agreement with the miners and the union, and that the officials of the miners’ Union had become tired of the promises and delays to rectify the wrongs. Should'the order to strike be given fifty mines will be closed immediately. The trouble over the alleged violations of the wage agreement has been in progress for many months. Officials of the Pittsburg Coal company said that the grievances of the miners had never been made specific to the company. They had tried to get them to show wherein any failure had been made to live up to agreements, but In every case they had failed. Organizers had been asked to go with the executive officials to the mines where the violations were complained of and show them any' violation of agreements, but they had failed to make a showing.
