PERJURY
Montana Copper War Breaks
Out in an Entirely New
Spot.

New York. Oct. 9.-Robert L. Martin
and Harry Velthausen, respectively presi-
dent and secretary and treasurer of the
Delaware Surety company, were arraigned
in the police court to-day before Magls-
trate Olmstead on charges Of perjury.
They were held in $4,000 bail each for
examination.
Edwin Lallerbach, who appeared for
Ernest C. Wagnfuhr, the complainant,
said that the case grew out of the fight
between the rival copper interests in
Montana, in general, and the war between
F. August Hainze of Helena. Mont, and
the Amalgamated Copper company as to
the ownership Of the Pennsylvania mine
in particular. The Delaware Surety COM
pany, he said, had given bond for Mr.
Heinze to the extent of $35O,O00 in con-
nection with the opening Of the Pennsyl-
vania mine and the bond had not been
approved by the courts. Wagnfuhr al
leges that the defendant made affidavit
that the paid-in capital Of the Delaware
Surety company was $1,OOO,0OO. This. he
declared, was false.

THE BULGARIAN BRIGAND
He Is Really Quite Decent as Free

He Is Really Quite Decent as Free
hooters Go.
From TEs Journal Bureau, Roout IS, P0Os
BWUdtng, WasnSSs0tOn-
Washington, Oct 9.-Most of the news
paper writer's who have discussed the case
of Miss Stone, who was captured the other
day by brigands Of uncertain nationality,
have treated the matter as If the Ques-
tion whether the robbers were Turks or
Bulgarians was of no consequence be-
yond fixing the responsibility upon one
government or another. This is an error,
unless all accounts given by diplomatists
and consular officers familiar with the
region where Miss Stone was taken are
misleading There are brigands and
brigands, for there is such a thing as
an aristocracy even of theft and murder.
The brigandage of Greece, Turkey proper
and Sicily is said to be as different from
the brigandage of Bulgaria, into whose
hands it is hoped the unfortunate Miss
Stone has fallen, as black is from white.
The Bulgarian banditti constitute almost
class by themselves. They are, as a
rule, political robbers, though much more
refined than those who control some of
our large cities. The American political
robber is such because he Is on top and
his victim underneath, as the result Of
their conflict at the polls; the Bulgarian
political robber is such because his
enemies have the ear of the court and
have made the ordinary haunts Of men
too hot to hold him. He has fed before
the menace of the scaffold or the shoot
ing squad, and taken himself to the fast
nesses among the hills, because they offer
about the only refuge to which the mem
bers of the uppernost party dare not fol-
low him. If he were free agent In the
choice of an abode, 1t would be in the
heart Of the capital, and he would carry a
wand of office instead of carbine. Ad-
verse fate in public life is what has made
him what he is, and revolution at court
would probably convert him in a twink
ling into a reputable citizen, with an
abundant regard for law and order and a
disposition to pay all the taxes he could
not evade.
One fine trait ascribed to the Bulgarian
brigand, by the way, Is that OF carrying
always with him the insignia of respec-
liability under his robbers cloak, as If
he were keeping himself in training for
taking his proper place in society again.
He Is devout, and can and does say his
prayers without a slip Of the tongue He
is educated-for his part of creation-and
takes care to keep abreast OF the move
ments of the great world from which cir
cumStanceS nave isolated him for awhile.
He recognizes social distinctions in his
band as scrupulously as the host of a
state dinner, so that among his people
there are frst-class brigands, second
class brigands, and so on down to the SER
wants and carriers. He has a nice sense
of the difference between members of his
profession and persons who have never
pursued it; II, for instance, he makes a
prisoner his messenger to visit village
for food, he supplies the money for buy
ing 1t, instead Of compelling the unlucky

Efforts to Further Reduce
War Revenue Tax.
BATTLE IN CONGRESS
Members Have No Patience With
Secretary Cages Suggestion.
FREER CIRCULATION DESIRED
The Secretary, 1t Is PrODhesied, Will
Have Trouble in Preserving
Existing Revenues.


Washington, Oct. 9.-Discussion Of
measures that the ffty-seventh congress
will consider is already under way. 1t is
further to reduce the war tax revenue,
which, in spite of last winters reduction,
is causing the accumulation of surplus
and consequently the segregation in the
treasury OF money that is badly needed in
regular channels of trade and commerce.
Many members of congress, including in
fuential republicans, have no patience
with the suggestions of Secretary Gage
and others as to how the surplus might be
kept in circulation by distributing this
among the banks of clearing house cities.
They say that the right way to keep the
peoples money in circulation is the only
way, and that is 30 to amend the war
revenue act next winter as to wipe out
the last vestige Of surplus revenues.
While they do not believe in repeating
the act so long as it is necessary to main
tain a great military establishment in the
Philippines and considerable forces in
Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii, they con-
tend that the present revenues are un
necessarily large and should be cut. Sec
retary Gage is not of this opinion. 1t will
be recalled that he strongly opposed the
cutting off of SAC, 900, 900 of revenue pro-
vided under the original act by the legis
lation enacted last winter. The secretary
feared that the loss of a single dollar Of
government revenues might have grave
consequences and he so thoroughly i'm
bued President Mckinley with his own
fears that he was successful in bringing
about a deadlock between the senate COM
mittee on finance and the house commit
tee on ways and means, which resulted, as
he hoped it would, in confining the reduc-
tion to $4,000, 900 annually. The senate
was in favor of reducing the revenues
$50, ,O0O, 900.
There will be a kg fight on this issue
next winter, and in view of the experien-
ces Of the treasury department under the
operation of the revenue law as amended
Secretary Gage will have a hard time to
preserve existing revenues intact.

WILSON A WRECK
Costly Wha1eback Is a Total
Loss to the Steel
Trust.

Sturgeon Bay, Wis, Oct. 9.-The whale
back steamer Thomas Wilson, went on the
reef at Bailey's harbor about 9 o'clock
last night during heavy storm and dense
fog, and will prove total loss.
The Wilson was light and bound to
Escanaba for an ore cargo. Losing her
bearings she struck the reef while going
at pretty high rate of speed, and was
driven far out. The crew Of twenty were
taken off by the Bailey's Harbor life
saving crew.
The boat sprang a leak during the night
and this morning was half full of water
and faring badly in the seas running.
Word was received at 10 a. m. that she
was total wreck.
The Wilson was built at West Superior
in 1892; had gross measurement of 1,71S
tons, and was valued at $125, 900 in the
International and Lloyd's register. The
loss is total one to the United States
Steel company, which carries no insurance

wight to steal for him. When he dis
charges a prisoner after ransom, he has
conscience about returning his valu-
ables to him, and giving him small sum
with which to pay his way back to civil
ization. 1t will be noted that Miss Stone
bears witness, in her communication to
her friends to the uniform good treatment
she has received at the hands of her cap
tors. This would be surprising in the
case of vulgar robbers like the Turks,
but it is what there might be reason to
expect from the betterbred Bulgarians.
These will cut a throat without COM
junction, where safety or discipline de-
mands extreme measures, but, on the
whole, they aim to be as chivalrous an
their calling will permit.
The same authorities who have fur
nished the world with the few picturea
we have at first hand of the Bulgarian
bandit, agree upon another Of his pecu-
liarities-his utter distrust Of women.
No Bulgarian who is a member of mouns
tain band is permitted to marry. 1t is
not the weakness of the feminine body
which makes the robber chief dread to at
tach 1t to his following, but the strength
of the feminine tongue, and its reputa-
tion for making a secret go further than
any other agency can. Between the
counterplay of love and jealousy and a
tendency to talk, he feels that the safety
Of all would soon be threatened II the
gentler sex should be admitted within
the sacred circle of his band. Indeed.
he curbs the passion for talk even among
the men. The brigands may discuss any
thing else under the sun, but they must
be silent as the grave about themselves
and each other. 1t seems as if this ad
mirable display of self-oommand, this
damper upon both egotism and gossip.
might be initiated with advantage by per-
sons In more honest walks of life.
If Miss Stone escapes from her present
confinement, as everyone confidently
hopes she will, she may be able to ada
her contribution, and very interesting
one, to the worlds stock of information
about this last relic of an ancient order
of which Robin Hood is the literary type
an intelligent woman's view Of a class
and life whose chronicling hitherto has
been practically monopolized by men.

WORK OF THE SULTAN
Abdul Hamid Would Even Up the
$4,000 Affair.

Kansas City, Oct. 9.-Dr. NJ. Mesropian
of this CITY, a physician and q native Of
Armenia, who has lectured considerably
in eastern cities on the atrocities prac-
ticed upon the Armenians by the Turks,
declares that the abduction of Miss Stone,
the American missionary, by brigands in
Bulgaria was the work of the sultan Of
Turkey.
II am sure it was he who ordered the
brigands to carry off Miss Stone" said
DR.. Mesropian. "He ordered her to be
taken across the Bulgarian border SO as
to distract suspicion from himself. It
is move in retaliation for the enforced
payment Of the 100000 indemnity tnat
the United States exacted for the burning
Of missionary buildings. / believe it would
be better for the government to send
a warship over there than to pay the
ransom.
Missionaries will not be safe after
Abdul Hamid has received the ransom.
They will be abducted everywhere. The
sultan is determined to be revenged for
the loss Of that 100000, and the abduction
serves double purpose-the return of
the money and the behest of fanaticism.
There is no crime the Turk won't commits
in the name of his religion"

WHAT THE SUMMARIES SHOW
Twelve Thousand More People Are
Paying Taxes This Year
Than Last.

Personal property in Minnesota is as
sessed for the year 1901 at $1S1, ,334, ,S21, an
increase OF nearly $110OO,OOO over the
valuation of 1900.
There has ben a steady Increase In per-
sonal property valuation since 1895, when
State Auditor Dunn, then just entering
upon the Office, commenced a campaign.
Convinced that the system of personal
property assessments was a good deal of
a farce, he took the subject up with coun-
ty auditors and local assessors in vigorous
fashion. He called particular attention
to the law requiring every adult of sound
mind to make return to the assessors,
and urged the assessors not only to get
every name but every dollar.
Each succeeding year the state auditors
office has kept UP this persistent hammer
ing with the result that the assessors,
year by year, have returned more names
and more property. The number of as
sessments has increased from 212,6 ,688 in
1897 to 241, $40 in 1901. At the same time
the total assessment has increased from
$1OO,294, 152 in 1896 to the present figure,
an increase of over 30 per cent. This in
crease has been especially heavy during
the past three years and has fallen espe-
cially on corporations and moneyed inter
ests.
The average amount Of each assessment
has grown from $496.56 in 1897 to $543.51
in the present year.
The increase in the number of assess
ments is shown in the following table:

their case and then proceeded to give the
president a list of men they desired to
favor, stating that "the organization" was
behind them solidly.
The president appeared to be consid-
erably excited. He noticed that nothing
was said about the ability or integrity of
the applicants. The Endorsement of "the
organization was the only argument in
their favor advanced by Mason and his
friends.

near the private Office where the interview
was being held and these made it public.
