ponents for several years, and the
methods pursued have been augmented
in viciousness and vindictiveness as
their futiitty has been demonstrated
AS the last despairing effort of ur-
scrupulous conspirators comes this
brutal move of the opposition. which
they have had upon their program for
weeks. with the desperate hope that IL
might. in some way, aid in the cleo

District Attorney Graham said that
from evidence in the shape of letters
and papers furnished TO him he be-
lieved it his duty TO begin PROCEEDINGS.
He added:
II propose to have a hearing as
quickly as possible. and TO produce at
that hearing all the facts necessary to q
binding over. Some of the facts will be
reserved until the time OF the trial. If
the state OF affairs as represented to
me is true, it ought to be exposed. This
rottenness ought TO be shown UP. no
matter upon whom it reflects. II is not
my practice to speak in advance of the
trial of the case, and will say nothing
further as to its merits"
Mr.. Graham expressed a firm deter
mination to proceed vigorously.
James Mechanics, former president of
the defunct Peoples bank, said he had
known the warrants were to be issued
although he had nothing to do with the
action. He asserted ignorance OF anv

RAILROAD MAGNATES
Considering Some Kind of a Deal in
Arkansas

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct 9.-The Journal
says: special train, carrying a number
of directors of the Baltimore and South
western railroad and some of the officials
of the Pittsburg and Gulf system, left
here for tour of inspection of the Port
Arthur line south from this city. The
Buckeye railroaders are all millionaires
and are among the heaviest coal operators
of Ohio. Each is director of the Balti-
more and Ohio Southwestern and in the
Ohio Southern lines, and intimately asso-
ciated with the reorganized Baltimore and
Ohio. There Is a rumor of some traffic
deals being fixed up by President Stilwell
of the Pittsburg and Gulf, in which the in
terests of the Port Arthur and the Balti-
more and Ohio lines are grouped, and then
there is another story Of the trips involving
the inspection and probable transfer of an
immense amount of Arkansas coal land, in
which the Port Arthur line is deeply inter-
ested.

THE LONDON MARKET
Foreign Politics Makes the Markets
Very Dull

LONDON, Oct. ALL the markets last
week were dull and inactive. The public
was un.nterested and dealings were largely
In the hands of professionals. Speculation
was limited.
The expected realization on certain for
e.gn and American securities, carried here
on German account, tends to depreSs values
and the complications of foreign politics
also discourage operators. The whole at
ttude Of the market IS expectaNt and I'M
certain. At the same time there Is no
disposition to regard with apprehension the
financial and commercial situation in the
United States and Germany.
The prices of Americans have suffered
in sympathy with the bear attacks and the
absence of support.

MELINE'S WARNING
frances Greatest Danger Is From In
ternal DisSension

EPINAL, France, Oct 9.-Jules Meline,
premier of the French ministry preceding
the present government of NJ. Brisson, who
presided at banquet of the Association
of Railway Employees here last night ut
tered a serious warning against the agita-
ton and unrest in France.
Referring to the divided state of the
country, the violence of polemics and the
sectarian spirit displayed In politics. he
said 1t was impossible to see France thus
torn by factions and devoured by political
passions, while daily the principle of au-
thority was undermined the army weak
ened and the institutions upon which rested
the security of the nation were shaken,
without thinking of that opening in the
Vosges through which an invading army
could pass" or without thinking of "some
unforeseen temptation being offered to the
foreigner" The adversaries of France,
however, had no need to declare war, said
M. Meline. They were content to await
the exhaustion Of France.
