The Jury Took leu Than 0a Hoax
to Pecid That Timber Workers
Were Quiltleu of
Charge. '
(Hontton Post Sftcial.)
LAKE CHARLES La. Norember I.
A. L. Emerson president of tbe Brother-
hood of Timber Workers and his associ-
ate charged with murder as a result of
the Qrabow labor riot July 7 were ac-
quitted this afternoon. The Jury took
lees than an hour to briny; in the ver-
dict. Today rounded out the fourth week of
the trial. Eight days were consumed In
securing a Jury almoat fourteen In tbe
examination of witnesses and today com-
pleted two full days of arguments.
Judge Hunter made the nijslng argu-
ment for the defense this morning and
the cose for the State was then summed
up by District Attorney Moore.
Whan the verdict was returned hy the
jury no ovation was allowed In the
court room. Judge Overton having pre-
viously warned those present that he
would not permit it. However many
came forward and shook hands with tbe
defendants.
Tonight at 1:10 President Kmerson of
the Brotherhood of Timber Workers nud
Covington Hall the well known socialist
of New Orleans addressed a great crowd
at the union hall.
Kmerson said to The TVist reporter:
The verdict Is only what I expected. 1
was sure of acquittal for myself and all
of my fellow workers. My only surprise
Is that the Jury reached Its verdict so
quickly. I feel better after my rest. 1
will speak in De Rtdder. Merryvllle and
other mill towns next week. I expect to
go on with my work."
Mill men say there Is no chance of or-
ganisation. "We will spend many thous-
ands fighting this movement." a well
known mill operator remarked tonight
when ha heard -the verdict.
All Indicted Men Released.
Immediately following the verdict other
Indictments both against the nine de-
fendants and the forty-four union men
who have been awaiting trial were aban-
doned. Half an hour later the Jail doors
were opened and the prisoners most of
whom had been confined for two months
or more walked out free men.
Wives dauphters and friends in a great
crowd thronged about the liberated men.
Most of them wire soon on the way to
their homes In De lildder and other near-
by mill towns.
President Kmerson expects to leave
tomorrow for Alexandria where accord-
ing to a statement tonight he will re-
sume his work of building up the organ
ization of the timber workers.
Judge Overton completed his charge
to the Jury at 3:46. The verdict was
brought In at 4:44.
Before the verdict was read Judge
Overton warned the spectators that no
demonstration would he permitted. When
the words o( aequ'ttal were heard some
of the friends of the defendants were
unable to restrain themselves but they
were quickly quieted.
No sooner had the verdict been an-
nounced than District Attorney Moors
moved to nolle prosse the remaining in-
dictments for murder against the nlns
defendants and the three Indictments
for murder against the fortv-tilne union
men still held In jail. The indictment
against all the fifty-eight timber work-
ers for shooting with Intent to kill was
also abandoned.
Riot Occurred In July.
The Grabow riot occurred Sunday
afternoon July 7. Members of the Broth-
erhood of Timber Workers led by Presi-
dent Ipmerson and other leaders a crowd
In all of 100 or more began a labor meet-
ing In front of the Galloway mill. Wo
sooner had the speaking commenced than
some one fired a shot. Immediately the
firing became general. When the battle
ended three men were dead and thirty-
seven wounded one of whom later dtted.
Another fatality dating back to the not
was the death of "Leather Breeches"
Smith killed several weeks after the con-
flict while resisting arrest on the charge
of complicity In the battle.
State troops were called out. and within
a day had restored order. Arrests were
quickly made and more than sixty-five
men including members of the Galloway
family owners of tho mill where the riot
occurred were In Jail. No true bills
were returned by the grand Jury In the
cass of the Galloways but fifty-eight el
the union men were indicted.
Only nine of them were tried the other .
forty-nine being held to await trial on
the severance order of the court.
The riot was the culmination of a
trlkn hv the Brotherhood of Timber
Workers against the Galloway and other J
mills in Western Louisiana.
President Emerson organised the
Brotherhood as a branch of the Indus-
trial Workers of the World. Not only
mill men but artisans and wage-earners
of all kinds are included In the member-

OT8TER BAT. N. Y. November 1
Theodora Roosevelt Issued a statement to-
day devoted largely to answering Gov-
ernor Wilson's remarks upon the trust
question la his speech last Thursday night
at Madison Square garden.
"In view of Mr. Wilson's Insistence
upon the importance of the trust prob-
lem." said Colonel Roosevelt. "I desire to
call attention to Mr. Wilson's record on
the trust question as governor of New
Jersey and to his previous attitude.
"In his first message to the legislature
January 19 1JU." the statement con-
tinues. "Governor Wilson renewed with
emphasis his promise to deal with ' the
New Jersey trusts. He described them
as having 'slipped out of control of the
very law that gave them leave to be and
can make and unmake them at pleasure'
and declared we have now set ourselves
to control them soberly but effectively
and to bring them within the regulation
of the law. There is one great obligation-
as well as great opportunity an Impera-
tive obligation from which we can not
escape If we would. No man who wishes
to enjoy the public confidence dares hold
back and if he is wise he will not resort
to subterfuge.'
"There was ample opportunity for Gov-
ernor Wilson to act either by securing
legislative action or by proceeding against
the trusts without the Intervention of tbe
legislature.
Supreme Court Action.
TThe supreme court of the United
States has solemnly declared that the
Standard Oil and Tobacco trusts have
been guilty of fraudulent and unlawful
conduct which the New Jersey statute
declares to be a misdemeanor. Mr. Wil-
son has been governor for twenty-two
months. He now says that he wishes to
proceed against the managers of the
trusts Individually. He for twenty-two
months has had as governor of New Jer-
sey ample opportunity and every possible
means for thus proceeding against them
and for over a year has had the decision
of the supreme court as warranty for
such a procedure but he has never lifted
his finger to take it.
"Mr Wilson has declined to give the leg-
islature a lead In this matter and when
these members of the legislature gave
him a lead he still declined to lift a finger
In their aid and naturally. In view of this
passive opposition on his part the legis-
lature failed to act.
"On the suggestion of one of the pri-
vate citizens Mr. Healy a head waiter
In one of our hotels I asked Mr. Wil-
son certain questions as follows:
Questions From Walter.
"1. Is it not a fact that the laws of
the State under which a corporation is
organized prescribe Its power?
"2. Are toot all the powers of the
Standard Oil and similar monopolies con-
ferred by the laws of New Jersey?
"3. Could not these powers have been
curtailed by amendments to the New
Jersey laws?
"4. Why has not Mr. Wilson as gov-
ernor of New Jersey recommended such
amendments?"
In response to the question Mr. Wilson
telegraphed one of his. supporters as fol-
lows: "I authorise you to say thaj the repub-
lican majority In the legislature made
a revision of the corporation laws Im-
possible and no New Jersey official could
prosecute or propose a dissolution for
breach cf federal statutes.
"This is no answer at all. Mr. Wilson
himself stated that the legislature did
with surprising ease what he asked and
that republican and democratic members
actually Introduced bills such as were
demanded by Mr. Wilson's explicit prom-
ises. New Jersey Leglslstura
"The New Jersey legislature of 1S11
stood: House 42 democrats and IS re-
publicans; senate 11 republicans and 10
democrats. There was thus only one
republican majority against him in the'
senate: and one republican senator Mr.
Colgate actually introduced an anti-
trust bill. So that even if he had not
been followed" by another republican Mr.
Wilson had" a clear majority In both
- houses if he had chosen. Moreover It
was his clear duty to try to get action
in any event. In the entire legislature
there was no opponent of trust legisla-
tion who possessed on one-thousandth
part of tha influence and control which
while I was president was exercised by
Senator Aldrich In tha senate and
Fpeaker Cannon In the house. But I
never made any excuses and by a suc-
cession of the hardest kind .of hammer-
ing fights I forced through congress a
mass of vitally Important trust and cor-
more unfavorable conditions. Mr. Wil-
son did not even attempt to get an ac-
tion." NOTE FS0K 0. C. BARKIS.

To The Post.
In your 'special from Austin of last
Thursday you publish an article that
not only reflects upon prominent Metho-
dists In Austin but goes out of Its way
to reflect on me. TBs others can take
care of themselves but I ask tho privi-
lege of replying to that part of tho matter
Involving me. You say: 'There are cir-
cumstances in the assignment" referring
to the appointment of Roy. R. P. Shuler
to the University church "and there are
complaints made which involve not only
the University church but members of
First church and George C Rankin of
Dallas."
Again you say: "The charge has been
made that members of Itrat church and
George C. Rankin were instrumental in
having Rev. Mr. Shuler assigned to Aus-
tin." Now In reply to these two statement
In so far as they refer to me they are
absolutely and unqualifiedly false. If 1
knew any stronger language I would em-
ploy it I never in all my Ufa. at Bee-
vlile or anywhere else mentioned ths
appointment of Mr. Shuler to tho Uni-
versity church. Neither did Bishop At-
kins ever refer to such an anointment in
my hearing. And not only so ao other
man woman or child ever mentioned such
a thing to me nor I to them. I had
no more idea that Bishop Atkins was
going to remove the Rev. Mr. Hawk from
that church and appoint Mr. Bhuler there
than the man in ths moon. And X defy
any man at Austin or elsewhere to prove
to the contrary.
It seems that a few two-by-four poli-
tlons at Austin inspired tha whole rumor
