nish additional bond in the Pennsyl-
vania case and for an injunction re-
straining f. A. HeinZe from operating
the Minnie Healy mine pending an
appeal from the recent decision of
Judge Harvey.
Both decisions were in favor of the
Heinze interests and are of immense
importance in the great copper litiga-
tion now occupying the attention of
the Montana courts. The court was
unanimous in the belief that the
81, 800, coo bond now operative in the
Pennsylvania case was sufficient so
far as showing had been made. In
the Minnie Healy case Justice Piggott
dissented.
The court unanimously struck from
the records the sensational afidavits
involving Judge Harvey. These
afIidavits were filed in the lower court
in support of motion for q new
trial now pending, and were made
part Of the records of the supreme
court in an appeal from Harney's
judgment. This action will re graft
tying to the many friends in Rock
Island county of Judge Harvey, who,
with his family, has been visiting
with relatives for several weeks in
Buffalo Prairie.

RADIO Interests.
Herbert j. Churchill, of The ARGUS
business department, has decided to
cast his future in the west, leaving
next week for Colorado, where he has
interests that his many friends know
that with his natural hustle will
eventually put him on the shady side
of easy street.
All connected with the paper sim

ture. For 10 years he has been iden-
titled with the publication, starting
in as a carrier boy. For the past five
years he has been superintendent of
carriers and advertising, in both

himself efficient. He will be sue
ceeded by Fred Mueller, another
young man who has been schooled in
newspaper work in THE ARGUS office,
having for several years been car
rier. He has assisted Mr.. Churchill
at different times, and therefore is
no stranger to the duties he is to take
up next week.

WITHIN OBSERVATORY CIRCLE.
United States Wants to Acquire In
dustrial School Site.


In carrying out the governments plan of
establishing a wide circle Of ground about
the naval observatory on the Tenleytown
road in order that the delicate instruments
used there may be permanently protected,
the District Commissioners have been in
formed by the Secretary of the Navy that
the tract Of the Industrial Home School
comes within the specified observatory
circle, and says it has been recommended
that steps be taken to acquire the land.
1.-The chief of the bureau Of equipment In
his annual report for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1901 says Secretary Long, IN
his letter to Commissioner Mcfarland,
president of the District board, after re-
ferring to the action heretofore taken, ana
pending, for the acquisition by the United
States of certain tracts of land lying with
In the limits of the observatory circle, as
established by the joint resolution of Con-
gress, August /, 1894, recommends that
steps be taken to acquire plat 8, now the
property of the District of Columbia Plat
5 is the tract now occupied and used for
the purposes of the Industrial Home School
and comprises 6.764 acres.
Before taking action upon the recon-
mendation made by the chief of the bureau
with respect to this tract, this department
would be glad to receive from the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia such
suggestion, If any, as they may have to
make with regard to the matter.
I'm this connection your attention Is in
vited to the fact that the underlying pur-
pose to be served by the establishment OF
the observatory circle is the permanent Sc
curity and protection Of delicate astronom-
ical instruments at the observatory, in such
manner that their efficient use may not be
impaired by vibrations caused by heavy
machinery, traffic, or otherwise, or by
smoke or currents of heated air in the
neighborhood. 1t may be possible that this
object can be satisfactorily served without
the absolute requirement by the United
States of the title to the property now
used for the purposes of the Industrial
Home School,
The Commissioners have not as yet taken
any action on the Secretary's letter. They
will consider the matter az n early date
| and try to make some salts! Dry arrange
ment with the Navy Depal ,.nent.

His Friends Claim That He Can E
tablish His Innocence.

tablish His Innocence.
Late yesterday afternoon Justice Ander-
son accepted $1,500 bail for Carl H. Hoff-
man, who was brought here from New
York charged with violation of section 5i0S
of the Revised StatutRs of the United
States. A Baltimore bonding company was
accepted as surety. Friends Of the young
man feel confident that he will be able to
establish his innocence should the case
come to trial. They claim that he did not
use the report of the isthnian canal COM
mission in a manner to render him liable,
as the report had not been signed and that
carbon copies of it were furnished New
York papers. Hoffman waived an exami-
nation when he was called before United
States Commissioner Shields in New York.
His action there avoids the necessity Of
holding a preliminary hearing in this city
and the case goes direct to the grand jury.
