Another schemer Arrested.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 15-The arrest

brokers, yesterday, on the charge of

oped surprising condition of affairs.

mates that Bakers out-of-town patrons
have lost in the aggregate over $780,

small, and has decided to institute n
searching investigation to ascertain
the full extent of Bakers operations.

End Good Coal in Cuba.

Santiago. Jan. 15.--It is believed
here that the problem of utilizing the
vast resources of the island In iron and
manganese has been solved by the re-
cent discovery of extensive deposits
of coal in the Mayari district. near
Nipi bay. Tests of several tons taken
from the outcroppings and brought
here for experiment show that the coal
Is of very high grade, resembling fine
camel coal.
Mining men are surprised and de-
lighted. Little search for coal has
been made owing to the belief of the
government biologists that deposits of
coal were not likely to be found in the
island.
Already a company is being organ
lied to begin mining operations, with n
view afterward of establishing smelt-
ing works, II the coal supply warrants
1t. According to several mining man
ayers who are interested In 1t, the find
ing of n sufficient coal supply would
mean an immediate rise In the value
of all Cuban mining properties.

Havana, Jan. 14.-Governor General
Wood on Monday will issue an order
appointing commission of three to
study and report upon the problem
of taxation throughout the entire
island.
The removal of Senor Federico Mora,
fiscal of the Supreme Court, continues
the main topic of discussion in the city.
All are apparently coming to the con-
clusion that the action of the governor
general is justifiable, the only quest
ion being whether SenGr Mora should
not be prosecuted. The people, especi-
ally the lawyers, have begun to re-
alize that the fact that the men who
have been allowed to lie in prison
for years have not been brought to
trial within the past few months, is
due entirely to the fiscal. One man,
who had been fourteen years await
ing trial. had application on file in
Senor Mora's office seeking the reason
for his acknowledgements.
There are many similar case, In

Belgium Want. Reciprocity.

Antwerp, Jan. 15.-The Belgian au-
thorities greatly desire to avail them
selves of the reciprocity provisions of
the Dingley tariff act, but cannot. The
United States demands in return free
entry for American grain and the re-
mOval of vexatious restrictions on the
importation of American cattle into
Belgium. The government, fearing the
hostility of the agricultural deputies
to such concessions, dares not propose
reciprocity treaty, and the country
thus Is estopped from developing it's
commercial relations with the United
States. The commercial population
protests earnestly but unavaillngly.

Reese, a member of the executive
board of the American Mine Workers

Scott, Kansas, charged with violating
an Injunction of the District Court of
Kansas.
Last october, when a strike was In
progress in the mines of the Western

Judge Thayer rules that while n
