THE BOYAKIN CASE.
The Delay in Prosecution Has Wiped Out the Most Damaging Evidence
 Against the Defendant.

Ex-Superior Judge Murphy called at the office of the clerk of the United States District Court yesterday for the purpose of examining the. records in the case Of Henderson Boyakin, indicted by the United States Grand Jury three years ago for falsely swearing to an affidavit for a pension. MT. Murphy is the attor- ney for Boyakin, and found the facts to be as stated in last Thursdays issue of The Call, to the effect that the defendant had not yet been arraigned. It was re- ported about the courtroom yesterday that the delay in this case was due to the fact that the prosecution had been await ing the pleasure of MT. Murphy to go on with the case.
 Deputy United States Attorney Schles- finger said yesterday that Boyakin would be arraigned next Tuesday. but that ow- ing to the death of Notary Public Poole there was no hope of convicting the de- fendant.

New Way Opened by the ,. Supreme Court for Ob-
 stinate Husbands.
The Foleys Divorce Proceedings Overturns Many Former
 Decisions.
Judoe Hebbard Overruled and the Litigants Must Again Air Their
 Domestic Infelicity.

In handing down its decision in the case of Foley vs. Foley, the Supreme Court has succeeded in upsetting for mer decisions where obstinate defend ants had refused to comply with an or der of court. In the case just decided Daniel H. Foley and his wife, Mary H. Foley, brought themselves into Judge Hebbard's court for the purpose of having a judicial separation.
 The suit was commenced by the wife against her husband for extreme cru- city. Foley sought to deprive her of any share of his property by throwing it into corporation known as the Dia- mond Real Estate and Development Company. In the meantime, and while the suit was pending before the court, Judge Hebbard ordered him to pay $1O0 counsel fees and $50 per month alimony during the pendency of the action.
 In order that the property of the de- fendant, Foley, might not be done away with, the Diamond Real Estate and Improvement Company was made a co-defendant to the suit and the nec- essary papers were served on Foley as
 
 summons and complaint against Foley as the husband he entered a demurrer and an amended demurrer, but he ob- stinately refused to comply with the order of the court in paying either the counsel fee or the alimony.
 Instead he got from the Jurisdiction of the court, going to Salt Lake City. This act on his part was construed by Judge Hebbard as one of contempt, and he ordered the demurrer and the amended demurrer stricken from the record and proceeded to order default of the defendant, with ten days in which to move to set the judgment aside, provided he came into court and compiled with the order.
 From this judgment six appeals were taken, five of which were dismissed by the Supreme Court, and the sixth, that which embodied the receiverShip, held. and on this the court above reversed the Judgment of the trial court on the ground that it exceeded its jurisdiction in striking from the records the de- murrers and proceeding to enter a judgment against Foley which deprived him of his property without due pro- cess of law.
 As the case now stands Foley's de- murrer is of record and he will have his day in court and an opportunity to fight again. The results of this de- cision will be that as long as a man remains absent from the State the court cannot proceed to enter a judg- ment against him which would de- prive him of his property The Su- preme Court said that the lower court must take some other method of pun ishing him for contempt than that of disposing of his property by striking from the records his demurrer and pro- ceeding to enter Judgment against him by default

WILL SAMPLE
 QUICKSAND General Sooy Smith, the Foundation Expert,
 in the City.
Has Come to Look Into the Difficulties of the New
 Postoffice Site.
May Freeze the Sands and Lay the Foundations on the
 Bedrock.

General William Sooy Smith, the long expected foundation expert, whose advent has been eagerly looked forward to by all those interested in the new postoffice building to be erected at Seventh and Mission streets. was seen last night at the Palace, where he had just arrived from Chicago.
 General Smith has been sent out here by Experimenting Architect Taylor, the head of the Government Architectural Bureau, to investigate the report re- gently submitted by Superintendent Roberts of this city, wherein it was ex- plained that after all the excavations had been made and while the contract ors were getting ready to lay the con- crete foundations a bed of quicksand was discovered in the extreme south west corner of the lot which made any further continuation of the work use less.
 General Smith will thoroughly inves- tigate the matter from the standpoint of an expert, and after looking careful ly into the difficulty will try to devise some means whereby it may be over- come.
 The general, who acquired his right to that title during the Civil War, is considered the best authority on mat ters architectural, particularly that portion of the science relating to foundations, in the United States.
 Among other celebrated pieces of work of that nature done by him was the laying of the foundations of Chi cago's Auditorium and Title and Trust building.
 He is also the owner of the Butch system of dealing With QuickSand, which he used so successfully in the construction of the Sault Ste. Marie locks. between Lake Superior and Lake Huron.
 The Butch system is to put down pipes into the sands through which a congealing mixture is poured which freezes them solid. Then the solid mass is bored through to the bedrock on which the foundations are commenced.
 Mrs. Smith and the generals little son accompany him on the present trip.

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.


 NEW YORK, Aug At was obvious from the developments in .to-day's stock market that wealthy and powerful speCuators were plac- ing very large amounts Of money in the granger stocks in anticipation of rise in prices. There were many indications also that some of the funds which were being placed in the grangers were derived from sales Of some of the more prominent industrial specialties, which have shown such recent large advances in price as to yield a handsome profit on the sale. This shifting Of speculation Is episode which invariably occurs in the course of a long-con- tinued advance in prices The preliminary movement tn the highly speculative industrials Is generally quite apart from any general con- dition Of business and industry. The late awakening of the more substantial railroad stocks is looked upon as indicating a more vital stage of speculation and investment. There was a broad and confident demand to-day through the whole of the railroad list. which must have come from the outside public In many stocks this growing demand was met by a steady stream of offerings which sent prices in spite of quite large volume of transactions only slightly higher than last night. The shift ing of speculative accounts involving profit taking in the industrIals encouraged bear at tacks, but the whole railway list held remark ably firm. showing a strong tone at or near the top.
 There were very heavy dealings in railroad bonds to-day, the demand being very widely distributed. but most urgent in the reorganiza- tion per: cents. The total sales of S7,475i000 is said to be the largest days business on record.
 There were large dealings in the Government 3s to-day at 105, one block of S415,000 going at that price. small block of the issue sold for 1051e.
