Miss Stones Abductors Said to Be Protected bv
the Sultan in Revenge Against the
United States.
The Bulgarian Government Creates the I'M
preston That Miss Stone Will Be
Released at an Early Date.

Vienna, Oct. 23.-The Betscherna
Poschta, a Macedonian newspaper pub
lished at Soia Bulgaria, declares that the
Turkish troops following the brigands
holding Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the Ameri-
can missionary, and her helper, Nine.
Tsilka, for ransom, have no intention Of
trying to capture the ruffians. On the
contrary, the soldiers and Turkish Off
cials provide the brigands with food, it is
asserted. The newspaper says that the
brigands are being protected under the
highest Turkish authorities, for the rea-
son that the sultan is keen for revenge
against the United States for the pres
sure brought to bear by America with
reference to indemnities for the Armenian
massacres by the Turks.
AS these declarations emanate from the
organ of revolutionary party that is
making war on Turkey, and are not ac-
companied by any proofs, they are not
accepted as wholly without prejudice. The
Poschta says that the Bulgarian govern
ment is doing everything in its power
to assist the American representatives,
and has instituted strict inquiry to dis
cover the identity Of those who made

Larimore, n. D., Oct. 23.-This morn
ing at o'clock a light engine coming
east ran into the rear end OF the Great
Northern east-bound flyer, killing Fire
man W. H. Josselyn, cutting off both
legs Of Brakeman Claude Whitaker and
breaking one Of Engineer Thomas Doane's s
legs.
The wounded were brought here in a
mail car, attended by physicians, and
afterwards taken through to Grand Forks.
President ]. ]. Hills private car was
attached to the rear of the train and was
occupied by the porter, who was slightly
injured over the eye. This car is built of
steel and made to Withstand wrecks, and
was but slightly damaged. Had this car
not been on the rear of the train, many
lives might have been lost.
Claude Whitaker, the brakeman, has
since died.
No train stopped for some reason be-
tween stations. Conductor Thomas Dris-
coll states that his f1agman was sent back,
but the light engine crew did not answer
his signal as they went by, so the flagman
threw his lantern through the cab win
dow.

HELD At BAY
Express Messenger With a
Shotgun Stands Off
Train Robbers.

Eugene, Oregon, Oct. 23.-The north
bound Southern Pacific overland express.
which was due here at 3:42 this morning,
was held up by robbers near Walker 8
station, fifteen miles south Of here, at
o'clock this morning and the express car
badly damaged, but the booty Of the rob-
bers amounted to little.
Two men boarded the train at Cottage
Grove, climbing on as the train pulled
out. After passing Walkers, which is
four miles from Cottage Grove, they
climbed over the tender and covered En-
gineer Jack Nichols and the fireman and
his helper. The fireman and helper were
ordered to uncouple the train between the
express car and the first coach Engineer
Nichols was then ordered to pull ahead,
the fireman and helper being left behind.
After going short distance, the train
was stopped.
The express car was blown open with
dynamite and Express Messenger Charles
was ordered out, but refused to go, and
with his shotgun commanded the situation
inside the car. The car was riddled with
rifle bullets, which did not injure the
messenger, who kept up continuous fire
from the inside and held the robbers at
bay. A charge Of dynamite was then
thrown into the car with a burning fuse,
but Charles grabbed it and threw it out
side, where it exploded
Next the robbers compelled the en-
gineer to crawl up to the opening inside
of the car, hoping to use him as proz
lection from the messengers shots, but
the messenger kept UP steady fire over
the engineers head and still held the
robbers at bay.
The robbers then gave up their effort
to secure the express treasure and went
for the mail They secured the registered
mail, then cut the engine from the rest
Of the train and ordered Engineer Nichols
to pull ahead. They ran to Judkins
Point, in the outskirts of Eugene, where
they disembarked and ordered the engin-
neer to return and get his train. The
train arrived here at 1880, about four
hours late. News was wired from Sag
inaw and officers were out in search of
the robbers early this morning, but as
yet have secured no trace of them. Posses
from both Lane and Douglas counties are
out in search of the bandits

and entire wheat -four, it did so without
handicap and solely in the interests of the
general public One of the best known
agricultural chemists in the United States,
Professor Harry Snyder of the Minnesota
state experiment station, was engaged to
write the bulletin, based upon an exhaus-
tive series of experiments which he has
been conducting for a series of years.
These researches Of Professor Snyder
serve as the basis of bulletin which is
in reality a small book, consisting Of
over 10000 words and embracing many
tabular statements.
This bulletin establishes, as perhaps it
mas never been done before, the standing of
patent -four of the fine grade which is the
product of the modern, up-to-date -four
mill. It completely overthrows the opin
ions held heretofore as to the food value
of the entire wheat fours and the graham
fours as compared with the white flour
of the modern mill. In addition to ex-
haustive analyses which have been veri-
fed in the most exact manner, the inter-
esting and all important test of the feed
ing of bread to men in active life has been
made and the results of this test tally
remarkably well with the analyses, arti-
fetal digestion experiments, and SO on.
At every point throughout the investiga-
tions the superiority of the patent 9our
has been proved
This does not imply any roast" upon
the other 1ours. In point of fact the bull
letin plainly points out that the entire
wheat flour and the graham -four were
both richer in food qualities than the
patent -four; but the determination of this
was accompanied by the fact that the
white or patent flour leads the. others in
the amount of nutriment which the human
body takes up from it. In other words.
the whole wheat and graham fiours are
shown to be very wasteful, their compost
ton being such that very much of their
real food value is lost because the body
cannot assimilate it,

Of its application for writ of supervisory

nan of Butte to hear and determine the
proceedings seeking to punish Judge Har-
ney for contempt in not answering the
questions propounded before a notary at
the investigation of the motives that
prompted the latter judge to decide the
famous Minnie Healey case in favor of
Heinze
The court denies the motion on the
ground that the application did not set
forth facts sufficient to warrant a rehear-
ing. The court criticized the language con-
tanned in the brief of the Amalgamated
attorneys asking for rehearing, and or
dered the most Objectionable features
stricken out.
The refusal of the court to grant re-
hearing means that it will not for the
present consider the sensational afidavits
filed in the Minnie Healey case, in which
it was alleged that Mrs. Bracket infu-
enced Judge Harvey to decide the Minnie
Healey case favorably to Heinze
Justice Pigott dissented from the other
members Of the court, holding that the
arguments for a rehearing should have
been heard.

Local Jobbers Solicited by a
Trust Promoter.
COMBINE NOT LIKELY
For One Thing, Minneapolis Firms
Wouldn't Go In.
FANCY PRICES WERE OFFERED
Those Opposing the Scheme Hold
That 1t Provides for Too
Liberal Watering.

A plan to combine the hardware job
bing interests of the country is on foot.
Minneapolis firms have been approached
for the purpose Of getting them into the
organization. 1t is believed that if a
few of the leading houses in the United
States can be brought into the combina-
tion that the success of the deal is as
sured
The scheme originated with jobber in
Pittsburg, assisted principally by Boston
men who have interested some Of the
largest hardware wholesalers as we'll as
hackers of financial standing. The law
firm of Reed, Thatcher, Simpson & Bar
mum, New York city, of which Thomas
Reed is senior member, is counsel for the
interested parties, and to this firm options
are to be forwarded.
A Capital of $1OO,OOO,OOO.
The plan more in detail is this: To
organize company with a capital or
$10O, 900 having headquarters in New
York; the company to control and manage
the business of the majority of the large
hardware jobbing houses. The jobbers
under certain terms are paid for their
stocks at fixed values with a bonus for
good will.
A promoter has been visiting the big
wholesale hardware firms in the country
seeking options and in the course Of his
business came to Minneapolis. 1t is un-
derstood that he met little encouragement
here.
Three principal advantages are given
as making the plan of Capitalization OF
interests feasible:
First-The buying capacity of a central Of
fee and the influence over manufacturers.
Second-The great saving of expense by
eventually merging several houses In each
city or section.
Third-The stopping of fierce competition
and the consequent advance in prices.
Some of the Drawbacks.
Opponents of the combination say that
the $100,00O,000 will buy only 100000 600
worth of business and the rest will be
water 1t is added that If the deal goes
through, the manufacturers will establish
sales depots through the country, for at
present the output from the factories is
greater than the demand and those who
do not sell to the combine will have to go
out of business. Another circumstance
that initiates against success is said to
be the fact that there are too many regu-
lar wholesale houses in the country to be
gotten hold of, and those which handle
hardware as a side line are countless.

YAWTER WAKES WROTH
TESTIMONY IN THE CASE OF MOVES
Ex-Chief Marshal of Nome Loses His
Temper While Being Cross
Examined.

Special to The Journal.
San Francisco, Oct. sc. L. Vawter,
ex-chief marshal at Nome, who was dis
charged because he had entered into the
plot to bribe Noyes with marked money,
took the stand again yesterday. Attorney
Mclaughlin took the witness. In the
cross examination he was asked if he had
made a statement to Noyes that the dis
charge of Mckenzie as receiver would
benefit him to the extent of $4,000. Vaw-
ter grew angry and denied the story, and
as Mclaughlin put the question several
times, he became very angry and positive
in his denial.
McLaughlin-Did you talk with Frost about
that matter?
Vawter-No, I did not
McLaughlin-Did you meet Judge Noyes
several days after and with tears in your
eyes ask him to overlook your indiscretion
in making that offer of money?
Vawter-No, sir it's made out of whole
CLOTH
When asked about talking with Judge
Noyes, District Attorney Woods and
Special Agent Frost begging them not to
make charges against him, Vawter did not
remember exactly what he did say At
torney Mclaughlin endeavored to draw
out from Vawter who was behind that Of
fer, but witness denied that any one made
the offer. The ex-marshal said that he
was friendly with Noyes and that he
(Noyes) had asked for protection, as he
had received threatening letters. He had
often sent a deputy to guard Noyes. Vaw-
ter denied that he had become very bit
ter against Noyes, or that he had spent
his time after resigning in gathering
evidence against Noyes.
G. L. Vawter was again on the stand
&c 1iY1o 10 oOd t.
gard to certain vague points in his testi-
mony. Attorneys Mclaughlin and Pills
bury again clashed.
Miss James, a stenographer in the Of
flee Of Hubbard, Beeman & Hume, at
Nome, was called. Her testimony was to
bolster up certain statements of Attorney
Hume. Beyond having seen some papers
which related to the appointment of Nc
Kenzie as receiver, her testimony was
largely hearsay.
Samuel knight was called and gave a
long history of the Anvil Creek litigation.
He said that when the writs Of super
sedeas arrived Sept. IA, 1900 he had gone
to Judge Noyes to get an order putting the
writs in force. He had found Noyes in bed
and he (NoyeS said that the matter was
parties must fight it out between them
selves. Knight saw Noyes a second time
and Noyes said the afidavits on which the
writs were secured were very suspicious;
that they showed evidences Of having been
prepared with great haste. knight re-
piled that it was no greater than the
haste with which the judge had appointed
receivers. knight gave in detail the his
tory of the fight for the gold dust which
Mckenzie had in the safe deposit vaults.
A good part of his testimony was hearsay.

Whoever eats bread will be interested
In bulletin which is soon to come from
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, bulletin which will perhaps be
more widely read and discussed by the
people at large than such bulletins usually
are.
For the past quarter Of century or
more there has been a persistent fight
against flour, the white -four of the mill
ing trade, on the part of those who were
interested in graham and whole wheat,
or entire wheat 1ours. The -four which
has made Minneapolis famous in
the manufacture Of which the great
est milling industry on the globe
has been built up. has been
bitterly assailed as the short cut to dys-
pepsia, source of national enfeeblement,
a robbing Of humanity Of much of the
nutritive value Of the staff of life.
The millers have hit back as best they
could and they have gone on manufactur-
ing larger and still larger quantities of
-four, and building larger and better
equipped mills; while, at the same time,
they have steadily been adding to the
content Of the -four all possible nutriment.
1t Is as clear as sunlight that there could
be no reason in the world why the millers
should want to destroy the efficiency of
their -four. To be sure, they are not in
business merely for the sake of doing
something; but, at the same time, they
have steadily put forth the best endeavor
to keep in their -four every particle Of
nutriment which could be included with
due regard to the keeping qualities of the
-four.
The government of the United States is
not engaged in the milling business. 1t
cannot be accused OF fostering the inter
ests Of entire wheat fiours or graham
flours or patent fours or breakfast foods.
So when it went into the subject of deter
mining the relative value of breads made
from standard patent flour, graham flour

Admiral Schley. Two weeks, more or
less, will wind it up.
without betraying any condolences or
assuming to speak for any member of
the court, it is now possible to sum up
the results. Broadly and generally speak
ing, the verdict will be mot guilty" The
charges of cowardice and insubordination
preferred by the navy department clique
and its mouthpiece, Maclay, have not been
proved. Other matters mentioned in the
precept and considered in the testimony
are comparatively unimportant. Few peo-
pie outside Of naval circles know or care
about the Hodgson colloquy, and nobody
cares whether Schley said Damn the
Texas" or "Shiver my timbers" The de-
partmental coronors who have been hold
ing clubroom inquests on the Santiago
campaign will probably never agree as to

one matter only are they harmonious
namely, that they could have done it
better.
No Sensations.
Little If any new matter has been
brought out by the court of inquiry. No
exposes or sensations have been sprung
by either side. A few side lights have
been thrown on the events of three years
ago, and there has been abundant proof
of petty jealousy and chickering's in the
department.
On the evidence which has been brought
out the worst that can be charged to the
account of Admiral Schley is an error of
judgment. In the light Of all that is now
known 1t may be found that the COM

take in turning back toward Key West

Of inquiry is rapidly approaching it's clos

proceedings Attorney Rayner, chief coun-

not have more than twelve or fifteen more

animation of some of these would require
comparatively little time. The principal
witnesses yet to come are Admiral Schley
and Captain Clarke. 1t is expected that
