WHITE RIVER TROUT.
At First Trial a Kansas City Man
Hooked Three in One Haul.

Buford, Col, July 15.-Fishing on
White river is better than it has been
for the past five years. The streams
have gone down to their usual sum-
mer level and crystal clearness and the
trout are biting eagerly. They are all
the native or Colorado mountain trout,
gamier for their weight and more de-
Iicious than the rainbow variety, with
which many Colorado streams have
been restocked.
Upper White river now claims to be
the most accessible as well as the best
stocked fish and game region in Colo
RADIO.
J. c. Nicholson and Edward Turner,
wholesale tobacco dealers and cigar
manufacturers of Kansas City, have
just returned from a four weeks fish
ing trip in the White river country I'M
der the guidance of S. T. B. Hines. Mr..
Turner had never seen mountain
trout before, let alone catching one,
and his first introduction to them in
cluded trying to tow his leader into
port with three big ones fast to it and
fairly churning the water into foam. A
PANIED out six and one-half pounds of
trout. Not bad for tenderfoot'S first
cast.
Enough trout could be caught in an
hour to furnish the camp for a week
and four Founders were common. These
gentlemen report that while the trout
will take most any old thing in the
shape of a fly, they prefer a royal coach

Grouse have evidently done well and

w. H. HARRISON'S TOMB.
Old Brick Structure is Being Replaced
by New One of Blue Linn estona.

Cincinnati, July 15.-Work has begun on
the reconstruction of General William H.
Harrison's tomb at North Bend. The old
tomb of brick has been taken down en-
tirely. and one of blue limestone built.
The structure is almost four feet high
that is, four feet of it can be seen above
the ground. There were eight bodies in
the tomb receptacles besides the remains
of General Harrison.
The bodies of George Eaton, Archibald
Eaton, Mrs. Harrison, and Mrs. Fitzhugh
are in the lower tier of receptacles; John
Scott Harrison, General Harrison and his
wife, and Mrs. Thornton's body are in
the upper tier. There were also the bodies
of four children of the Harrison family.
These were buried in the bottom of the
tomb. The entrance to the tomb has been
changed to the south side, facing the
river.
1t is the general opinion of those en-
gagged in the work of rebuilding the tomb
that one of the receptacles, which was
left vacant in the reconstruction of the
tomb for other members of the family,
will some day contain the remains of ex-
President Benjamin Harrison.

ssOCKLESS' JERRY SIMPSON
Blossoms Into a Dude-The Kansas
Statesman's Transform alton.

washington Special to New York Sum-
Jerry Simpsons old-time friends who
knew him when he was sockless would
hardly have recognized him as he stood
leaning against the gilded walls of the
senate chamber on Wednesday afternoon
when the vote was being recorded on the
passage of the tariff bill.
Jerry has been slightly lame lately, as
a result of street car accident, and so
he carried a cane, which added some
what to his dudish appearance. He was
dressed in the strictest nineteenth century
summer style. He wore white duck trous-
ers, rolled up two inches at the bottom,
russell shoes, blue sack coat, standing
collar and small tie, and instead of the
vest wore the regulation summer belt.
Some of the senators who have known
Simpson ever since his entrance to pub
lie life were compelled to walk over and
look directly into his face before they
could believe it was he. few years of
Washington life has wrought striking
changes in many a man, but in no case
has the metamorphosis been more COM
plete than in the case of Jerry Simpson,
of Medicine Lodge.

CRUELTY IN CHILDREN
CFrom Myron Reeds Sermon


A few years ago the Jefferson school
district San Francisco, was hard; a
stray Chinaman or dog or cat went
through that district on run me boy
who did not show up in that school
with a black eye and broken nose was
not qualified. In four years Miss M M
Murphy, teacher, has transformed the
school On Friday afternoon at the
end of the week these former toughs,
three hundred and fifty of them, recite
III unison this stanZa:
HE prayeth best who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loVeth us,
He made and loveth ALL
After that they recite their expert
ences of the week. Johnny Gould,
lad of 10, said: 81 was walking down
street and 1 saw boy my size with
brick going for cat, and l told him to
stop, and he says, Who's doing this?'
Then he turns and chases me, but he
tumbled over rock and fell down hill
and cut his face up, and the cat got
away and I got away"
And then DOminick Syce told his ex-
perience: "One day Chinaman with
bag of rags on his back was going
along and a boy began firing stones at
him. The Chinaman began to run and
the boy kept a chasing of him and fir
ing at him, until I runs up and sticks
up my foot and trips him heels over
What's the matter of your I'm all
right L says. How do you like your
self?'"
Miss M NJ. Murphy, teacher of this
school in San Francisco, has evidently
been doing good to $50 children. They
were four years ago on their way to
some kind of an expensive reform
school Some way or the other she has
turned them right about. They are not
cruel and they do not permit cruelty.
A refOrmatory for girls is a reflection
us. A prison is so much more ex-
pensive than kindergarten.

GRAF TIERS AROUND
POLICE COURTS
The Police Will Commence
a Crusade Against
Them.
Chief Crowley Is Furnished
With a List of Their
Names.
Efforts of the Police Have in the Past
Been NulIfi d By the Police
Judges.

Chief Crowley has determined once
more to make an attempt to rid the cor
ridors of the City Hall of men who are
familiarly known as "grafters."
Complaints were received by the Chief
Yesterday that these men were systematic
cally at work, and a list was handed to
him. In the list were the names of Matt
Smith, Ben Smith, Jack Bolster, Dick
Creighton, 'Chippy" Gallagher and Viii
liam Tannion, and it was mentioned that
other names would be forth coming.
In the list were the names of a ianitor
and several attorneys, but as they have q
right to be in the corridors their names
were stricken out.
The Chief sent for Policeman Wagner,
who is specially detailed for duty in the
corridors, and handed him the list with
instructions to arrest the men if they
made their appearance in the neighbour
hood of the Police Courts or the Justice
OF the Peace Courts and charge them with
violating the ordinance passed by the
Supervisors specially to cover such cases.
Several arrests have been made by Po-
liceman Wagner, including TaHnion, Gal
lagher and others, but in almost every
instance the cases were dismissed in the
police courts, and the men after keeping
away from the corridors for a few weeks
returned again and continued their work
as boldly as ever.
The Chief is now determined to make
wholesale arrests, and the responsibility of
Kidding the corridors of ''grafters" will be

SPREADING THE NET.
Federal Warrants Have Been Issued
for the Australian MUIR
derer.

While the ship Swanhilda breasts the
seas bound from Sydney, N. S. W., for
this port, the authorities, both Federal
and police, are using the time in which to
spread more effectively the net that shall
capture the arch m urderer, Frank Butler
alias Frank Harwood, and alias half a
dozen other names, who is believed to be
aboard her. Chasing murderer across a
continent is not novelty in this day, but
chasing criminal halfway around the
world against tine is novelty, and is at
tracing the attention of the people of the
and McHattie of Sydney are doing and
they will have arrived fully two weeks
ahead of the Swanhilda.
The detectives landed at Victoria, B. c.,
from the Miowera last Tuesday. They
were expected here yesterday, but did not
come for the reason that hardly enough
time has elapsed in which to make the
trip by rail- If they do not spend day
at Victoria sightseeing, they will be due
to-day with additional particulars. The
Swanhilda is due about January rs. 1t is
hardly possible that Butler can escape
arrest at last unless he jumps overheard
into the Pacific while en- ronte.
British Vice-Consul Moore said yester-
day that everything is fully and satlsfac-
torlly arranged in regard TO extradition
papers and the necessary local warrant
for Buffers arrest. The latter has been
issued by Judge Morrow of the United
States District Court.
Mr.. Cormac of the firm of Cormac &
Donohoe, colonial attorneys here, said
yesterday that he was gratified at the
publicity the coming of Butler is Ieceiv
ing, las it will greatly decrease the
chances of his escape" said he. HE is
to nri,N al md M hAci-
tate at another murder, unless so COM
pletely caught that he could not make
move.
I'VE thought that he might leave the
ship at Honolulu he said, land took
precautions accordingly. We found that
the ship would not touch at that port.
We had a man there on the lookout for
the murderer and he would have been
caught if the Swanhilda put in there. /
expected the Sydney detectives to-day,
but they have probably not had time
enough to gel here.

LEVIN BROS, AFFAIRS.
The Firm Offers to Settle for 33 l.
Gents.

The Firm Offers to Settle for 33 Ia
Gents.
There was an important and well attend
ed meeting yesterday of the committee of
seven appointed by the creditors of
Levin Bros. to investigate the af-
fairs of the crippled firm. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was to hear the re-
port of the adiusters who had been en-
ployed to examine the books of the con-
Germ and submit detailed statement of
assets and liabilities.
The report gave a stated list of every
creditor with the amount due him and
also of the items comprising the assets of
the firm. A summary, as published in
The CALL of yesterday, showed that the
Liabilities were nearly $4,000, while the
available assets did not exceed $40, 600.
While this statement was being discussed
the attorney for Levin Bros. announced
that he had a proposition to submit to
the creditors from the firm whose affairs
were under consideration.
He stated that Levin Bros. were pre-
pared to make settlement on the basis of
33% cents on the dollar. Just what form
the payment was to take in case the offer
was accepted could not be learned, but 1t
is supposed that there will be a part cash
payment and that the balance will be
Dy lIlUOTBcQ llOJE6.
The somewhat unexpected action on the
part of the iDsolvent firm produced
much more consid feeling to prevail
among the creditors. According to the
statement submitted by the adjusters,
there were assets worth something less
than $40 900. 1t is estimated that if these
were forced upon the market they would
not realize more than half their invoice
valuation.
While some of the creditors are opposed,
on sentiment, to any settlement short OF
100 cents on the dollar most of them are
inclined to take a practical business view
of the situation. AS one of them said yes
terday: at would be foolish to refuse TO
take one-third OF what is due US from the
firm and instead force sale of the assets
and then have to be satisfied with about
Is cents on the dollar"
Before the meeting OF the committee OF
seven, committee of three, consisting of
Mr.. Lilienthal of the Crown Distilleries
Company, J. P. Edoff of Dallemand & Co.
and A. L. Whitney of G. E. Whitney, was
appointed to present the report of the
adjuslers and the offer of Levin Bros. to
the meeting of all the creditors, which IS
to be held at 2 80 P. NJ. to-day at the rooms

aged by a Blaze in Her
Coal Bunkers.
A Letter Received in This City Brings
News That the F ames Ragged
Three Hours.

A letter written by one of the crew of
the cruiser Philadelphia was received in
this City last week, which tells the story
of disastrous fire in the cruisers bunkers
on the morning of her arrival at Callao,
Peru.
The letter covers the entire voyage of
the cruiser from the day she left this port.
Move Der %, up to the breaking out and
subsequent flooding of the fire at Callao.
1t states that the trip down the coast was
an uneyentful one and erything ran I'M
usually smooth.
Callao was reached and the crew was
busy scrubbing down the decks when an
alarm of fire was sounded. The crew was
informed as to the Whereabouts of the fire,
but, as the ship rapidly filed with smoke,
had considerabl Bile difficulty playing water
on the blazing coal. All the ships venti-
lators and passageways tending to create
q draught were closed, and the crew
fought the fire with renewed vigor
Notwithstanding the fact that aIl the
water possible was used" said the writer
of the letter, ''the plates in the magazine
room became so heated that an order to
abandon ship would not have surprised
me.
'After three hours hard work the fam es
were extinguished in the coal-bunkers,
but the fire broke cut in an ad join
ing room from the heated plates.
The crew was again put to work and in
a half hour had the fire out The hatch
plates were cooled to prevent further
damage by running streams of water over
them, and the excitement ended"
In conclusion the letter stated that the
ship would leave Callao for Panama In a
short time, ami from there would sail for
San Diego, probably arriving at that port
in the latter part of February.

WHEAT MAY NOT
co MUCH HIGHER
There Is More of It in This
State Than Rumor
Says.
A Further Initiation of Prices
Here Depends Upon a Better
Foreign Rate.
Farmers Hoard Wheat and Call Board
Warehouses Do Not Represent
the Stock,

Hundreds OF wheat farmers throughout
the State are happy because OF the en-
HANGED value of the great staple and the
prospect that it will become much more
valuable than it is to-day.
1t was enormously announced in an aft
ernoon paper yesterday that local ship
pers were paying 81 6254 per Genital for
wheat and that there are but $50, coo tons
in the State.
1.-THE truth isl said Herman Eppinger
OF the weil-known commission company
last night, that there is more wheat here
than people know about. Whether wheat
is to go higher depends not on its scarcity,
but on whether the foreign market goes
higher. The highest prices to-day are
81 5711 for the choicest shipping grades.
and for the best milling wheat 81 62H
Number one shipping wheat brings from
81 56H to 81 57%.
at is wrong to assume that there are
but $50, 900 tons of wheat in the State, for
the stock in call board warehouses does
not represent the total product. These
warehouses are largely at Stockton, Port
Costa and like places, but there are great
quantities outside of this, much of 1t in
the bins and barns of sturdy old farmers
and stored away in small warehouses.
THE Produce Exchange took an in
voice on Decent Der l and found 800, coo
tons in the hands of dealers and in call
board warehouses. There are large guam
titles of grain in the country and on
ranches, considerable of which is offered
right along by ranchers and farmers.
A CALL reporter found that large guam
titles of wheat are coming from other
Western States, so that the scarcity here
is not at all great, yet greater than Tor
many years.
Large offerings are made fran Utah
and Idaho" said Mr.. Epplnger last night,
because our prices are higher than the
local prices in those regions. ey can
not ship East and realize 90 well as by
selling here, for the freights eat up more
than the difference in price.
A strange phase of the question IS that
many English ships are unable 10 deal in
wheat. Ship-owners cannot afford to take
it at present prices and many of them are
taking cargoes of lumber TO England, Aus
tralia and the west coast OF South Amer
lea. Ships have recently left this port for
Puget Sound because 1t pays better to
carry lumber than wheat a. its present
rates.
Many dealers are sanguine that prices
will go higher, yet the general opinion is
that nothing but a great stimulus to the
foreign market can cause prices to go
much beyond what they are now. Those
who look for an initiation of the foreign
price count on two tactors-a small crop
in the wheat-raising areas and scarcity
in the wheat-consumiug countries of the
world
