come of the Haywood trial at Boise, Idaho,
declared that no honest American Jury
could have brought In any other verdict.
Mr. Gompers said: "Even If Haywood.
Moyer and Pettlbone had cause to feel re
sentment against Governor Steunenberg
during his administration, at tlw time of
his being killed and for almost two years
before he was In no way In a position to
Interfere with the work of the Western
Federation- of Miners; he was removed
from the Meld of opposition to the miners'
organization.
"The organization, as a matter of neces
sity, was compelled to deal with new con
ditions, with new men and with new
opponents and could not have the time,
much lea the inclination or motive to
wreak a murderous revenge upon one who
was no longer In their path. There was no
motive and no purpose for Haywood to kill
or to conspire to have killed ex-Governor
Strunenberg.
"The Idaho Jury and all the American
people are to be congratulated on the ac
quittal of Haywood. The testimony oT
Orchard confessing that he was a manifold
murderer; that he was a bigamist, burglar.
Incendiary, thief, llnr and fraud, was
enough to sicken the hearts of all out
J people. Upon such testimony It was un
thinkable that a Jury of American citizens
would hang even a yellow dog.."
MENTION PREHIDKVr MOOSEVEI.T
Socialists and I.nbor Leaders Xote
Outcome of Trial.
NEW YORK, July 29. "President Roose
velt, not William D. Haywood, la now the
'undesirable citizen,' " said Alexander
Jonas, socialist loader and editor of the
Volks Zeltung. when asked how he re
garded the result of the trial In Idaho.
His reply was perhaps the most pronounced
of many opinions by local socialists and
I organized labor leaders, but Jubilation was
the keynote of them all, Moses Oppen
helmer, the oiganizer of the Moyer-Hay-wood
conference. In speaking at the meet
ing of the Central Federated union In
which socialist and nonsoclallst unions are
represented, said:
"I have been a great many years In the
labor movement and In all my memory
this Is the first time the working class has
exerted Itself In the same way as It has
done In behalf of these men," (meaning
Haywood, Moyer and Pettlbone).
Efforts will be made to persuade Hay
Wood to fame -her Wx'eek o attend ' '
socialist parade and, mass meeting in his
honor" to tie' held lri'fcladfson Square Gar
den. It Is expected that fjo.ono persons will
be In the parade. The New York social
ists claim to hav contributed 125,000 of the
fund cf ttfW.OfW raised for the' defense. .
IONDON, July 29. Commenting on the
result of the trial of William D. Haywood
at Boise, the Chronicle today says:
The state of society revealed by the trial
la more terrible than any civil war, be
cause It Is more treacherous and Is likely
to be more lasting. From beclnnlng to
end It revealed a condition of brutal rapa
city, confronted with savage, despairing
violence, a condition that gives America's
boasted civilization a very dubious look.
The Daily News says:
From the outset the question has been
complicated by the fierce prejudices of a
kind of smoldering class war. The whole
movement, both In the revelations of the
trial and Its accompaniments In public ex
citement, has Illustrated the Insecurity of
authority In America and the profound
skepticism concerning the Identity of law
and Justice. ,
Both articles refer to President Roose
velt's "undesirable citizen" statement. The
News calls It one of his frequent public
Indiscretions, and the Chronicle predicts
that It will cost him dear,
BUTTE, Mont., July 29. Seven thousand
miners and other union workers of Butte
paraded the streets In this city last even
ing as an expression of their gratification
at the acquittal of William D. Haywood.
Preceded by pictures of Haywood, banners
on which were Inscribed the sentiment of
the marching thousands, and by Amerloan
flags and with a band, the procession
started, four abreast, from In front of the
Miners' I'nlon hall and traversed all the
principal thoroughfares of the city. Occu
pying a position of honor between two
American flags at the head of the proces
sion was a big silk bsnner ot the union,
bearing Its motto, "Charity to all, maltos
toward none."

UNION LABOR LAUDS VERDICT
Coniideri Haywood Case Victory for
Cauie and Justice.
FAIRNESS ALLOWED RONE OTHER
tarlea I.. McDonald, Former Presl
dent Central l.ahor t'nlen, E
preaaee Serprla ea Well
as I'leeaere.
fnlon labor men In Orraha are gratified
st th Haywood decision. To a man they
regard It ss the only fair conclusion Of the
case, though some, Charles 'McDonald for
one, expressed surplae thst the Jury
should return a verdict of not guilty.
John Pollan. presUU-nt of the Central La
bor union, said:
"The verdict could not have- been other
wise under the evidence and the Instruc
tions of the court. The trial was fair ami
union labor has no comment to make upon
the course of the trial. I guess It is pretty
clear that the Mine Owners' sssoctatlon
was back of the prosoc utlon. l'nion labor
is generally pleased with the verdict, be
cause it Is a verdict of fairness. At the
meeting of the Omaha Typographical union
Sunday a telegram of congratulation was
sent to II y wood. The victory for Hay
wood Is not so much a victory for union
labor as It is a victory for law and Justice.
The court, the attorneys snd the Jury
were fair men. and under such conditions
the result of n acquittal could not have
been otherwise."
McDonald la Surprised.
"I was somewhat surprised at a verdict
of acquittal. I looked only for a disagree
ment of the jury. However, under the
evidence and the Instructions of the Judge
there could have been no other fair result
than an acquittal.
"It Is on the whole a victory for union
labor, and shows that the unions are
strong enough to defend their rlRhts and
that with able counsel these rights can be
won against the corporations. It Is also s
victory for Justice, t'nlon labor has nevet
for a moment condoned violence and should
not be held responsible for the acts of
such men as Orchard and Irreconcilable
agitators. I'nlonlsm does not mean social
Ism nor anarchy. We believe In law and
order, but we believe the law Is as much
for the man who toils as for the man who
waxes fst off the products of toll. This
trial has cost union labor a vast amount of
money and union labor Is able and willing
to pay Just as mucrh more for Justice.
Union labor docs not wish to. shield or
protect a criminal, a murderer or a felon.
And union labor will resent the charge
that In the defense of our right to live
that we are criminals, murderers and
felons. This acquittal of Haywood has
shown that the bull pen method of coercion
has come to an end in this country. It
has demonstrated that men and women
cannot be driven from their homes at the
behest of corporations because they nat
urally resent the proposition that they have
no right to live except by the permission
of corporate interests."

against the promoters. These sre Dr. L., O.
Myers, George Burr, editor of the Aurora
Register, and William Glover, who owne

A Burlington official said with reference
to the "president and secretary of agricul

"That Is Grover Cleveland and J. Ster
ling Morton, and yet I doubt If either ever
had a dollar's worth of stock In the affair.
It may have been the promoters found It
profitable to peddle the rumor they did."
Mr. Kelby said: I am not now nor nor
long time have I been a stockholder or
officer of the concern or connected with It
In any way. The matter Is merely a politi
cal stlr-up out there in Colorado. I Just
returned from DerNer today. The Denver
News of yesterday has tljls to say of my
connection with the matter and I do not
care to say anything more than Is con

of apparent responsibility which did not
even amount to actual responsibility. I
knew something about the Omaha meting.
It was a surprise to Kelbv when he
learned the actual condition ef affairs and
he Insisted that restitution be made to In

Kelby was active In seeing that It was
done.

The Inflammable character of the wood,

the fire from getting into the flimsy build

The firemen were massed at the entrance
of the Bowery, and, although a Japaness

BULLETIN
NEBRASKA
TELEPHONE
COMPANY
The Nebraska Telephone Company does
not have to earn or pay fixed charges on
watered stock or inflated capital of any
kind. Whyt Simply because its capital
rests absolutely dollar for dollar on real
plant value. It has no watered stock. It
has no bonds. It pays (5 per cent dividends
y-no more, no less. Some day the people
of Omaha will appreciate that this conserv
ative capitalization is a great advantage to
the telephone u.ser as well as the telephone
owner.
If the Nebraska Telephone Company had
been over captalized it could not have kept
its place in the front rank of the telephone
procession. It could not have afforded, in
that case, to have replaced half-worn
equipment with equipment that is thor
oughly up-to-date. It could not have pro
vided, in advance, for the growing tele
phone needs of Omaha and provided an
outlet in every direction by means of a
comprehensive system of toll lines. It
could not have provided branch offices for
the further convenience of its customers
and for the purposes of securing greater
accuracy and economy in the handling of
the growing traffic of the city. It could
not have given subscribers the benefit of
rates which are actually lower today than
they were ten years ago, although the num
ber of subscribers has more than trebled.
The American people have learned to
look to the capitalization of their public
utilities. They have learned that they can
not for any length of time get a fair rate
and a fair value of service for that rate un
less the finances of the public utility com
panies rest on a sound basis.
The growth of the Nebraska Telephone
Company has been remarkable. The Com
pany endeavored to show a progressive
spirit in meeting this growth and at the
same time has kept its finances on a
strictly conservative basis.
The Company is therefore in a position
to give its subscribers resonable rates and
full value for their money.
few minutes sufficed to wipe them out
clean.
Arthur Lee, manager of Steeplechase
park, speaking for Mr. Ttlyou, said that
the loss on the park, which was completely
destroyed, would reach 11,000,000, and there
was no Insurance. The hotels destroyed
were small and the property loss on them
will not reach much over $100,000.

plaoed him under arrest and took his
sword. Lter Pickett was commended by
Btannard for gallantry In the Cold Har

Total Expenditures $207,374
This statement that "Operation, Main
tenance, Reconstruction, etc." will be cov
ered by $46,500 is manifestly untrue. The
items of operation, maintenance, recon
struction, etc., include all salaries and
wages, insurance and taxes, repair and re
construction material, rent, light, heat and
power and miscellaneous expenses of all
kinds, and the sum of $4(5,500 will scarcely,
cover half of these various expenses.
Take a case in point. The Lincoln Tele
phone Company also has an automatic
switchboard with considerable less than
6,000 telephones and yet the Lincoln com
pany pays out over $53,000 a year merely
in salaries and wages, without considering
material, rent, light, heat and power, in
surance and taxes and other miscellaneous
expenses. The Lincoln pay roll is about as
follows:
General Manager's Office (3 em
ployes) ' $ 4,800
Maintenance Dept. (43 employes) . . 34,392
Operators ( 1 7 employes ) .' 6,000
Record Dept. (2 employes) . 840
Bookkeeping Dept. (4 employes) . .. 2,520
Contract Dept. (4 employes) 2,700
Collection Dept. (2 employes) 2,520
Total Salary and Wage for year. $53,772
The Omaha company promises nearly a
thousand more telephones than Linclon is
now operating, and its salaries and wages
will cost more rather than less. But at the
Lincoln rate the Omaha company's pay roll
alone will be $7,272 more than has been ap-
propriated for all operating, maintenance
and reconstruction expenses. The experi
ence of the Automatic exchange in Lincoln
shows that the figures in the prospectus of
the new Omaha company have been juggled
and are seriously misleading. Either the
stockholders or the subscribers must suffer
on account of the discrepancy.
