'FRISCO-MEMPHIS DEAL.
Steps Taken at Jefferson City to Prepare
for the Complete Consolidation of
tho Roads in Missouri.

Jefferson City, Mo-, June 22.-L. F
Parker, general attorney for the ST
Louis e. San Francisco Railway com
pany, has filed with Secretary OF
State Cook statement of increase
of capital stock from S5O.OOO.OOO to
$780, 100000, for which the company
paid a fee of $25,OO25O.
The fact that the capital stock was
to be doubled has reen advertised by
the Frisco railroad for several weeks
and is said to have nothing to do di-
rectly with the consolidation of the
Frisco and Memphis railroads. The
consolidation plans are in the hands
of the Frisco attorneys and they re-
fuse to disclose their plans beyond in
timating that the consolidation will
be made. Several Frisco and Memphis
railroad offices in Missouri that had
been closed have been reopened. This
was done. it is said. not because the
consolidation plan has been aban-
doned, but for the reason that one
office was unable to take care of the
business. For the same reason
trains that were taken off on both
roads have been restored

cueA's MARKET PROBLEM.
Tar'n Restrictions by United States Tenn
Porarily Cripples the Islands Trade
Woods Order About Debts.

Washington. June Secretary
Root has received a report from Gov
Gen. Wood concerning affairs in Cuba,
In which the governor general says
that the action of the cCnst;t tutional
convention in accepting the Platt
amendment is received with general
satisfaction throughout the island.
The great difficulty which is now
contended with in Cuba is that re-
lating to commercial affairs, and the
necessity of better markets for Cuban
products without the tariff restric-
tions in the United States. Nothing
can be done. however, until the Cuban
procity arrangement may be made.
but this will require ratification by
the senate. An order of Gen. Wood
relating to debts and mortgages, it is
understood, will tide over the diff
culties which were feared short
time ago.
The Lucha says that the Cuban prob
lem has not Yet been solved. 1t was
easy, says this paper, for the Ameri-
cans to obtain the acceptance of the
Platt amendment when they were
holding the reinS of government in
when the government of the island is
handed over to Cubans. The Ameri-
cans will discover then that the Gu
bans are less docile than they have

MONEY MAY BE SAVED.
People Should Hold Back Deeds and Mort
cages Until July L, When Many Stamp
Taxes Will BE Dead.

Washington. June 22.-On July
nearly all the stamp taxes will be re-
pealed, so that from now on il will
pay people to take the revenue stamp
into consideration. Of course, no one
would stop sending telegraph mes
sages for ten days. or hold an express
package the rest of the mouth to save
a penny, but many dollars can be saved
on deeds and mortgages. and the man
ufacturers of proprietary articles long
ago began to restrict their production
in anticipation of a repeal of the tax.
So far as the general public is con-
cerned the repeal law will be chiefly
grateful because it abolishes the
stamp taxes on bank checks, tele-
grams. express receipts and money or
ders. These are the little taxes small
in amount but annoying to the indi-
vidual. What the people as a whole
will save money on will be the stamps
on cOnveyances, mortgages. leases and
bonds.

bill provides that the arid lands states
must first create and thoroughly or
ganize engineering bureaus, under

6EARDoN SET FREE.
Kansas Man Under Arrest for Trying to
''Cudahy" Banker Declared Not
Guilty by a Jury.


Kansas City. Kan. June 22.-M. d.
Beardon was found not guilty of at
tempting to extort $1,000 from Frank
Warner. of Bonner Springs, on threat
of blowing up the house of Warner
and that of his father and mother.
The defendant was postmaster at
Bonner Springs during Cleveland's
last administration. The plaintiff,
Frank Warner, is a banker of that
place, and on February 26 of the
present year he received a letter
threatening death to himself and the
destruction of his home and that of
his father if $1,000 in gold was not
placed at a certain spot at a specified
time. A plan was agreed on by War
ner and his friends to entrap the au-
thor of the letter by placing sack
supposed TO contain gold at the point
designated. The sack was placed as
suggested. but contained lead slugs
and Beardon proved to be the man
who picked up the bag and was at
once placed under arrest. Beardon
convinced the jury that he did not
write the threatening letter. He
said that he picked up the sack by
mere accident while passing along
the street.

mony. 1t deals exclusively with the
labor disputes in Chicago in 1900 The
commission makes no recommends
tlon, but prints a summary of the tes-
timony, in the course of which it says:
1T was claimed by several of the wit
nesses not only that policemen them
selves were prejudiced in favor of the
strikers, but that the higher city au-
thOrities leaned the same way. They
asserted that the police had their in
structions not to interfere except in
case of absolute necessity and several
specific instances were cited to show
that this was the case. 1t was claimed
that this attitude of the authorities,
which showed itself also in the actions
Of the police justices and other in
ferior courts was due to political feel
ing, especially to the desire of the
party in power to cater to the large
vote of the laboring classes at the
coming election. These witnesses
held that strikes in Chicago have
often been especially numerous just
before elections and that both parties
have been disposed to make political
capital out of labor difficulties
