credit on Collector Davis as civil SER

No Need to Talk

SIOUX FALLS, Dec. 8.-Weltering in
hts own blood and literally hacked to
pieces with an ak which was found in
the next room the body Of r. Erickson
was found shortly after midnight in an
old shanty on Main avenue. The police
were ransacking the place for another
purpose when the discovery was made.
In the next room were two men who are
behind the bars. Both men refused to
talk when arrested. 1t Is the theory OF
the police that West and Garrahan lured
Erickson into the shanty and then hacked
him to pieces with the bloody ak which
the police now have. What puzzles the
officers Is the GOODNESS Of the crime and
the apparent Indifference of the alleged
murderers. A light was burning in the
room, nothing had been done toward
disposing Of the body and when the men
were discovered they were enjoying a
social smoke. Vests daughter who Is
said to have been ruined by Erickson,
was sent to the reform school and was
burned to death In the fire there.

THE WHEAT CORNER
Not Squeeze, But Just Ordinary
Business

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Dec. s.-The
Journal today prints what 1t claims to
be the inside of the Armour wheat deal
and an explanation Of the clash between
the astute operator and the Chicago bull
clique. The latter is said to be much
stronger than was supposed. 1t has been
developed that L. q. Letter Is one Of
the principals In the bull clique and
that George B. French is the active man.
ager OF its interests. The clique views
with composure Armour's plan Of buying
wheat in the Minneapolis market, ship
ping 1t to Chicago and delivering It
under contract SO late in December that
the freezing Of the river will prevent its
shipment East. 1t is supposed that Ar
mour expected this to secure the storage
Of Il large share Of the wheat for his
Chicago elevators until spring, and It
will come as genuine surprise to the
trade that the bull clique. far from per-
mitting wheat to remain In storage all
winter. will arrange to ship 1t East, where
1t will find ready engagement for
Europe. In this way the December
wheat will be eliminated from the situa-
ton.
The Journal asserts that tho bull
clique is engineering no artificial corner
and will try to squeeze no one. The
clique believes that a legitimate ad-
vance is inevitable in May and Is acting
on this theory.

SAN DIEGO RESERVES
CANNOT HAVE THE STEAMSHIP
MARION
The Pinta, Though Little, Is Good
Enough for the Baynclimate
Naval Battalion

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. S.-Lieut.
Hughes of the photographic Office Of this
city, who was appointed by the govern
ment to act as instructor for the naval
reserve, reports that the United States
steamship Marion will not be sent to
San Diego to serve as a practice ship
for the naval reserve battalion Of that
city, but will remain in San Francisco.
The u. s. 8. PInta, smaller, but fully
as serviceable, vessel will probably be
commissioned to proceed south and take
UP quarters at San Diego bay.
One of the most important reasons for
keeping the Marion at San Francisco
Is that ships of her class have to under
go at stated intervals general overhaul
ing. The ship has to be docked and II
she were stationed at San Diego the
constant expense of sending her be-
tween ports woud amount to great deal
in year Of time. San Diego has an ex-
cellent marine bay, capable Of accom-
modating the Pinta, and 1t is generally
conceded among reserve men that she
Is far the better ship for the southern
division.
1t Is possible that the Marion Will be
kept at the dock at San Francisco, and
In such condition that she will be ready
at moments notice to go on short
cruise. The state naval militia will
probably order an electric plant put
in the ship and many improvements to
the hull Gen. Barrett and Lieut..
Hughes will go to the island tomorrow
for the purpose Of inspecting both the
Marion and the Pinta and will report as
to what is needed for the vessels.
The Pinta Is in excellent condition. She
Is very comfortable little vessel and a
few repairs will render her a splendid
craft for training purposes. She will be
fitted with rapid fire guns and many Of
the modern appliances of war. She VIII
be given her full complement Of boats
and steam launch.

Against the Sale Of the Union

acting for group of holders Of Union
Pacific Reorganization Committees GER.
tificates for Union Pacific stockholders:
I'VE notify the government that the
committees bid involves a departure
from the terms Of its trust under the
trust agreement declared January 20,
pursuant to which stockholders paid
nearly $9,O00,000. The committee was
not permitted to issue more than $75,-
100000 in bonds for the purchase Of both
the Union and Kansas Pacific. Under
the bid for Union Pacific alone that
purchasing issue Is practically con-
sumed, thus violating the trust to the
stockholders. This substantial devia-
ton from the conditions Of the purchas.
Ing trust invalidates the bid. There
fore. the government Is notified to hold
the moneys received or receivable as
trustees under the committees trust
and not as the property Of the govern.

STOCKTON, Dec. 8.-The grand Jury.

disreputable women to inquire into the

No Money to Pay for the Services of
Microscopists
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-1nquiry at
the Department Of Agriculture, said
Congressman White Of Chicago, shows
there is no appropriation from which to
pay for microscopic tests Of meat intend
ed for the export trade. Neither will the
department permit inspectors to be paid
by private parties who have immense
interests at stake. My attention was
drawn to this matter by firm whose
place Of business is located In my dis
trict. the contention being that they are
suffering heavy loss through inability
to have these tests made more promptly.
There is disposition manifested by the
Secretary of Agriculture to help us out
In this trouble as far as possible, but the
remedy lies with Congress 1t was sug-
gested that those who have interests
involved should take the initiative and
urge upon their representatives the ne
cessity of making an appropriation to
conduct these tests and thus facilitate
the export of meat products Of this coun-
try. Such q course would entail an ex-
penditure Of nearly $4,000.

evidence of money having been used and
q resolution to that effect was adopted.
Both Doyle and Mccarthy made vigor-
GUS denial and there was nothing but

Tempt Indiana Farmers to Try Beet

NORTH JUDSON, Ind, Dec. s..
About 1000 residents Of the Kankakee
Valley from Momence, ILL.,, to South
Bend, Ind, met yesterday to discuss
the prospects Of inducing capitalists to
erect sugar refineries throughout this
valley. Judge Beeman Of Knox. who has
given the matter considerable thought
und investigation, made an address. In
his statement he showed the quality Of
land In the valley to be particularly
adapted to the successful cultivation Of
the sugar beet. Prof. H. A. Huston, of
Purdue University. Lafayette, ex-
planned that the beets grown in this
valley were very rich in sugar proper
ties. Governor Mount was introduced
and addressed the convention. His
talk created much interest.
The indications are that during the
coming season sugar beets will be grown
in large quantities throughout this vol
ley.
