CHARGES AGAINST j. c. BEATTY.
They Create Some Excitement at Dem
YER, Colorado.


DENVER, Sept. 1.-THE Associated
Press dispatches from New York con-
cerning the charges of fraud made against
John C. Beatty and others i'll Sonora.
Mexico, land deal. has created some ex-
citement in this city, where some of the
defendants reside.
James Ii. Brown, one of the defend
ants, said, in reference to the company.
that long while ago he saw the Imprac-
ticability of the scheme advanced by
Beatty, and sent in his resignation as one
of the Directors, as he did not care to
have his name used in connection with
1t. / attended but one meeting of the
Board Of Directors, and that was imme-
diately after the company was formed. [
have learned recently that Beatty and
Miller went East, and / heard that they
had disposed OF some of the stock to
Eastern parties, although / never heard
whether or not they ever did anything
toward making the scheme success.n
L. J. O'Donnell said: 81 have been the
attorney TOR the Colorado River Irriga-
ton Company since its organization.
From what L know of the affairs of the
company, / should say that the suit COM
menced by James II. Beatty against John
G. Beatty and the company in New York
is family quarrel. The two men are
cousins. The Colorado men mentioned
have had practically nothing to do with
the management since the first year of
its existence. They had sold most OF
their stock to James II. Beatty, but in
the controversy between James III.
Beatty and John G. Beatty they sided
with the latter, and east the deciding vote
in his favor. This irritated James H.,
and he has undoubtedly named them as
parties defendant in the suit largely out
of spite. Samuel n. Wood, who is named
as defendant, has not been a director of
the company or had anything to do with
it for some two years or more, and so far
know, does not or has not for that length
of time owned share in it. The
company owns valuable franchises in
California, secured by location and Acts
of Congress, and has the absolute title to
200, 600 and 100000 acres of land in Sonora
Much of 1t is Immediately on the Ameri-
can border. The land is said by parties
who have seen it TO be valuable. The
company has been in an embarrassed
condition since the financial panic of
1893, and this suit is undoubtedly the cul-
mination of an attempt upon the part of
persons who have bought it to freeze out
John c. Beatty and the other stockhold-
ers and obtain the franchises and prop
erty of the company themselves"

Northen wired as fo-sows:
THE people of this State are quite able
to administer their own affairs, and they
are doing it In full justice TO the negro, as
our laws and our conduct attest. We have
already endured more outside interfer-
ence IN our local matters than we will
submisslvely tolerate in the future. Let
these kindly disposed Englishmeu return
to their own country, and prevent by law
the lnhuman sale OF virtuous girls to
lustful men in high places, hang all such
demons as Jack the Ripper; punish as
1t deserves the barbarous wholesale
slaughter of negroes in Africa by Eng
hshmen who go there to steal their gold;
supply the necessities to prevent bread
and labor riots and strikes, which are
wholly unknown to the South; feed and
give employment TO the poor, as do the
people OF my section; give to the on
pressed Irishmen the rights humanity de-
mands, and when they shall have pulled
the beam out of their own eyes they may
Will DSbteI SIaCe appoint themselves
commission to hunt for the mote that may
be in our eyes.
While we have Irregularities at the
South and negroes aIe sometimes
lynched, they are never slaughtered by
wholesale, as Englishmen sometimes de-
stroy them. | send you by mail the law
and record on these matters, and l chal-
lenge not one of the English committee
on lynchings at the South, but | chal-
lenge the civilized world to find better.
Why come as an investigating committee
to denounce the South just prior to Con-
gressional elections when we have Just
had negro lynched in Kansas on April
I'd and another in Ohio on the Sabbath on
April 10Th, and when the white Poles
and Hungarians have recently been
butchered in Pennsylvania and negroes
run out of Franklin Park, n. j., in
herds. We challenge investigation by
all persons who have the right to investi-
gate these charges, but any attempt upon
the part of the English, tainted by their
own national crimes, to arraign us for
trial, must be considered as gross inn
pertinence."

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HAMLIN.

Making an Inspection of the Ports
Along the Northern Boundary.
WASHINGTON, September 1I.-Assist-
ant Secretary Hamlin, who is on his way
back from tour of inspection of the seal
Islands and Pacific Coast ports, is con-
Guiding his work by making a personal
inspection of the principal ports along
the northern boundary of the country,
with special view to learnin all that he
can about the smuggling of opium and
Chinese over that border. He was in st.
Paul yesterday, and is in Duluth to-day.
Wednesday he will be in Sault Ste
Marie, and Friday he will reach Mont
real, where he will begin his examina-
ton into the working of the regulations
In regard to the re-entry to the United
States of the Chinese merchants who have
gone out of the country and have re-
turned. Montreal is the Canadian port
OF departure for these Cinnamon for the
United States, and they are temporarily
detained there while papers are sent on
to the customs officers in Burlington for
examination. After completing his ex-
animation in Montreal, Assistant Secre-
tary hamlin will make an examination
OF the burlington collection districts. He
will be assisted by the chief of the special
agents of the Treasury, who have left
Washington for the purpose Of joining
Mr.. Hamlin in Burlington.
Upon Mr.. Hamlin's report on the seal
fisheries will probably depend very
largely the course pursued by the Gov
ernment in the future in the way of linn
iting the number of seals to be killed on
the islands.
Some important recommendation will
probably be made on the Chinese and
opium questions. Department officials
are anxious to see how the new tariff law
will work in regard to opium. Under
the Mckinley law. the duty at S12 per
pound, practically all the drug brought
into the United States was smuggled, and
So per pound the Treasury officials are
anxious to see whether there will be any
decrease in the smuggling.

WILL JAPAN STOP

China cries Enough and wants to
quit fighting. But Japan will not have
It SO, and seems to be bent on directing
her forces on Pekin.
Thus far Japan has shown her SUI
pcriority over China as fighter. She
can now probably make about her own
terms for peace, and thus gain n sub
stantial benefit from the war. But 1t
must be remembered there are a great
many people In China, and 1t may be
found that even Chinese are dangerous
foes when their country Is trodden by
an enemy and their homes are invaded.
No one likes to see Il nation overrun
by u foreign army. The sympathy OF
the world was largely with France
when the Germans were on her soil
and laying siege to her capital. The
idea OF the violation OF home sanctity
and the thought of the sufferings OF
women and children in the track OF the
invaders will always turn the scale of
humanity on the side OF the country
| invaded.
Better be contented with your good
fortune. Mr.. Mikado. make peace and

The Right Sort of Oven.

For sponge cake and pound cake have
heat that will in five minutes turn a
piece OF white paper yellow.
For ali other kinds of cut cake use an
oven that will in five minutes turn a
piece of white paper dark yellow.
For bread and pastry have an oven that
will in five minutes turn a piece Of white
paper dark brown.
When the oven Is too hot at first a
crust forms on the bread or cake, which
prevents its rising. 1t is better when
baking bread and cake to have the oven
little slow at first and increase the
heat gradually.
When baking puff paste the heat should
be greatest first and decrease later.
This is to keep the paste in shape.
When the oven Is too hot the tenn
perature may be reduced by putting In
1t pan of cold water.
When baking In an oven that Is too
hot at the top fill with cold water drip
ping pan which Is about an inch deep
and place 1t on the top crate Of the oven.
Should the oven be too hot on the bot
tom put. a crate under the article that is
to be baked.
