HUGE FUND FOR CORRUPTION.
Testimony Regarding Bribery by De
Beers Brought Out in Libel Suit

BERLIN, June 21.-The libel action
brought by DIR. Lyman, of the Le;psic
Neueste Nachroten, against DR.. Schmits,
DR.. Ioock and the Cologne Gazette
arising from DR.. Lyman's assertion that
the De Beers company sent 100000
marks to Cologne for political purposes,
has resulted as follows:
DIR. Schmits Is sentenced to pay a fine
of 100 marks, or undergo ten days i'm
prisonment, and Dr. Loock Is sentenced
to pay a fine of 200 marks or be i'm
prisoned for twenty days. The court
also decided that while the Cologne Ga
zette was naturally irritated by the as
sertion made, the manner in which the
assertion was repudiated was offensive.
In the course of the trial today, Herr
Jansen, attorney for DR.. Lyman, offered
to prove the assertions of his client and
named witne sses who, he asserted Wou d
give evidence that syndicate composed
of the De Beers and other South African
companies has a large fund in the
Standard Bank of South Africa, limited,
at Salisbury, Rhodesia, for political pur-
poses; that THIS fund is held without
direct accountability to the members O.
the syndicate; that the syndicate paid
Herr Gehl, the Pretoria CORES ondent
of the Cologne Gazette, 4C0) marks
month; that GenI admitted having been
bribed by the syndicate; that Gehl was
court martialed and sentenced to death
as a traitor TO the Beers and that a check
from the syndicate for 100000 marks was
found among Gehls effects.
The court declined to hear Herr jan
sens witnesses because Herr Gehl was
not on trial

Darius Miller, second vice president of
the Great Northern, returned yesterday
from a weeks absence. in Chicago and
the South. While he was away a report
was sent broadcast over the country to
the effect that he had been selected as
the traffic manager for what are termed
the Hill Morgan group of roads, the
Great Northern, the Northern Pa
cifc, and the Burlington Mr..
Miller, however, up to the present is en-
tfrely ignorant of having been selected to
fill the position which reports have as
signed him, and to the G l 0 b he yes
teTday stated that, so far as he was
aware, there was no truth in the rumor
st have not been advised of having
been chosen for the position me ntioned,
and really know nothing whatever about
it. There has been considerable talk about
the matter, but not by any person in
position to speak authoritatiVely.
1T seems to be a fact that Mr. Stubs
has been placed in charge of the traffic
of what is called the Southern or Harri-
man group of roads, but SO far as 1 am
concerned, no offer of any kind has yet
been made to me-
Mr.. Miller also stated that even though
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
Burlington might be consolidated, so far
as interests were concerned, it did not
follow that a traffic overseer would be
appointed for the entire group

Bonner Springs, Kan, Man on Trial
for Attempted intimidation.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, June PIN. D.
Beardon, a former Bonner Springs (Kan)
postmaster, who took a bag of slugs
placed under the steps of the Bonner
Springs lodge hall by Frank Warner,
banker of that city, who had received
letter threatening to blow up his house
with dynamite unless he placed $1,000 in
gold at the spot, took the stand IN
his own defense. Beardon is an Odd
Fellow, and on the night in question
had attended a meeting Of his order in
the hall. In his statement today he told
frankly of lingering behind after the
other members had left, of seeing the
bag under the steps, of making off with
it and being confronted by guard, who
showed a shotgun in MS face. Curiosity
anu nothing else, he declared, prompted
him to take the sack. He had seen it
by mere accident. He insisted that until
that night he had no knowledge of the
letter written Warner. A dozen wit
nesses who had known Beardon for years
testified to his reputation for honesty.
A verdict of acquittal was brought In
by the jury last night. The attorneys
spent the entire afternoon in arguments.
Beardon's attorneys were effective In
their efforts to impress the jury with
their clients good reputation In the past
as shown by much testimony. Beardon
was a. strong witness in his own benalf.

PEACHES ARE CHEAP.
st. Paul Dealers Look for an Album
dant Supply.

The peach crop is now upon the market
and the prospects are that the prices win
be lower this year than ordinarily. Cali
fornia peaches are quoted today at from
rs cents to 81, and that Is very low for
this season of the year. The crop in Cal
ifornia is exceptionally good. and Cal
ifornia peaches are used more than any
other by the St. Paul buyers.
The peach crop in Georgia is about
an average one this year, but Georgia
peaches have little effect upon the st.
Paul market. only so far as they affect
the supply and demand, and in this way
regulate the price of the California prod
uct. If there is no rain in Georgia dur
ing the next two weeks, which is the har-
vest ng season there, Georg' peaches will
be placed upon the market in large guam
titles, and the price Of this fruit will
continue to descend II, however. there
should be rain during the harvesting sea-
son. the peaches will not stand Shipment
and there probably will be a shortage In
the supply and the prices will naturally
advance.
