General Shafter Intimates That There
Has Been No Organized Stealing,
Claiming Articles Have Fallen
Into Dealers Hands by
Private Purchase Only
(By Associated PreSS.)

Washington. June 19.-The war de-
rartment today made public two te.e-
grams. dated yesterday. regarding the
clothing frauds at San Francisco
The first is a message from General
Corbin to General Shafter. asking for
Information on the subject and stating
that lit is desirable from every point of
view that detailed facts of any impor-
lance be given the department: Def ore
being exploited in the newspapers
Gneral Skaters reply is as follows:
referring to your telegram today
have refrained from making a report re-
garding clothing seized by Colonel Maus
because the quantity was very small and
1t all appeared to have come from the
same man, junk dealer who did bust
ness around the Presidio.
THE clothing had evidently been sold
to this peddler by soldiers and recruits
The junk man and his son have been ar
rested by the federal authorities and
their case is now being considered by
the federal grand jury.
There is no shortage in any of the
departments here. This seized clothing
undoubtedly represents the accumula-
ton of articles which have been sold
from time to time during the last year
or two by the thousands of soldiers who
have passed through San Francisco.
II do not regard this matter as of any
Importance, though it has been widely
exploited by the newspapers. However,
the seizure of these articles and the ar
rests made will have the effect, think
OF discouraging the purchase or sale of
soldiers wearing apparel in this vicinity
hereafter.
Following is an exact list of the ar
ticles seized: Blankets, II pairs; leg
eings. pairs; blue flannel shirts 4S,
blouses, 1; gauntlet gloves, . pairs; black
calf shoes. II pairs; tan and russell shoes
IS pairs. All these articles are now in
the hands of the proper departments"

DEMANDS A SMALL FORTUNE
Geologist and Prospector Sues the
Great Northern Road, for Which He
Located Valuable Coal Beds.
(By Associated Press.)

Nby Associated PreSS.)
st. Paul, Mimi, June ia case in
volving more than million and a half of
dollars came to trial yesterday before
Judge Kelley and jury in the district
court.
Herbert w. Pearson, plaintiff. is geo.
1ogist employed by the Great Northern
road to locate coal fields for the company
in Montana and Washington.
In his complaint Mr.. Pearson says he
was employed with the understanding
that his compensation was to be de-
pendent upon the results obtained.
He was allowed 5000 month for ex-
penses and was to be paid fair per-
centage of the value of his discoveries.
In Montana he located a coal field, SAID
to contain forty square miles, and in ad-
dition found another in Washington
eighteen square miles in extent.
The railway company then bought VI
the greater part of the land on which thu
claims were located and secured option
on the remainder.
Mr.. Pearson values the tracts alread.
held by the road at $140O0,000 and say
the Montana tract alone will easily pro
duce SCI 400 tons.
He says he was employed nine months
but was paid only $1,000, leaving a bal
ance due on his expense account of $500
His services during that time he esti
mates to have been worth $1,500,00O, ant
consequently he sues for $500, 900.

CONDEMNS OPERA HOUSE WALL
Building Inspector Lane Thinks Bulge
in New Structure Might Prove
Disastrous.

A further delay in the erection and
completion of the new opera house at
the corner of Broadway and. Montana
streets will be occasioned by the con-
domination, yesterday afternoon, of the
south wall, by Building Inspector Lane
An examination OF that part of the build
ing was made by Mr.. Lane, and he
thought it pest. for the safety of the
public and good of the opera house man.
agement to order the wall pulled down
and reconstructed.
Mr.. Lane believes that the bulge of
several inches in the structure was oc-
casioned by the damp wea ther The con-
slant rain, he said, would tend to keep
the mortar in the outer portion of the
wall damp and soft while the inside
mortar could easily dry. This would
cause sagging in the outer layers Of
brick and bring about the bulge.
The contractors in charge will rebuild
the wall as rapidly as possible.

PARTNERS COULD NOT AGREE
McGlaufin Secures a Court Order for
an Examination of the Firms
Book Accounts.

J. r. McGlaufiin and J. A. Riddell
have differed in their business rela-,
tions, and the former has sued the lat
ter to enforce a severance of the ties that
bind. He also asks the court to order
an inventory of their stock of goods and
and then appoint a receiver to take
charge of the business providing an
amicable agreemnt cannot be reached on
a dissolution basis.
McGlauflin alleges that Riddell and
himself have been engaged in a general
contracting and wall paper business
since March l Of last year. Since April
10. 1901. the defendant has had exclusive
control of the books and business and
refused to allow him to have anything
to do with them.
Judge Clancy has signed an order
granting the plaintiff the privilege of ex-
aiming the books and taking an in
ventory of the stock provided the work
is completed by June 81.
