Judge Hanford Decides That His Court
Has No Jurisdiction.

TACOMA, March s. Especial Judge
Hanford, of the United States district court,
today decided that his court had no juris-
diction in the case of A. H. Nickerson VS..
Mary o. Crook ct al, giving as his opinion
that inasmuch as the case was instituted
in the superior court of Pierce county. be-
fore the territory was admitted as a state.
il should be returned TO that court for
trial, as is expressly provided by section
% of the enabling act. The case was
carried to Judge Hanford's court, on the
ground that at the time of its inception
several of the defendants were residents of
various states, but it could not be shown
to the court that any such controversy ex-
isted Mt the time the case was instituted.
Valuable parcels of, land in various parts
of the city are involved IN this litigation.

DELAwARE's TREASURY SHORT.
Half Million In Securities Missing
The Ex-Stste Treasurer Held.

WILNISGToS, Del. March Sit has Just
leaked out that $3.50, $50 in securities,
owned by the state of Delaware, has been
lost, and no one knows where or how they
disappeared. State Treasurer Wilbur H.
Burnet expected to receive them from ex-
State Treasurer Herbert, but Mr.. Herbert
and his son. Frank G. Herbert, who was his
fathers assistant, declared that the securi-
ties in question were never in their pos
session, and the latter says he presumes
they are in the hands of the
Farmers bank at Dover. The
securities are certain mortgage
bonds. 1t is question what state treas
urer last had possession of them. They
were not, Mr.. Herbert thinks, in the pos
session of Treasurer Huston, whom he
succeeded. They are not negotiable.
The legislature has appointed a commit
tee to investigate the unsettled condition
in which the state treasury has been left
by ex- Treasurer Herbert, and on the pre-
liminary report of that committee it has
directed the secretary of state to enter
judgments upon Mr.. Herbert's official

The Two Great Cracker Trusts Have

The Two Great Cracker Trusts Have
Declared War to the Death.
ST.. Louis, March 8. Especial - An
afternoon paper says that the New York
Biscuit Company is preparing for fight
against the American Biscuit Company by
the establishment of 100000 cracker
factory in st. Louis. Both companies are
gigantic consultations of great manufact-
uring capacity and between them control
the entire cracker and wholesale bakery
business of the United States. Each is
capitalized for $40. 0O0, 900, and both are de-
termined to secure monopoly of the
cracker trade of this country. Under
these conditions the prospects are that the
st. Louis tight between the two mammoth
trusts will be the beginning of bitter and
determined struggle, backed by almost I'M
limited capital and resources.
