WATER BOARD PURCHASE.
Case Will be Taken Into Court for
Decision.

William y. Hilles has been retained
as counsel by the water Department in
the matter Of the purchase of land for
reservoirs by the department and the
case will go into court for decisio
Mr.. Hilles and the lawyers retained bv
City Council conferred yesterday but
what course will be pursued in the mat
ter has not been determined
President Alfred Belts of the Water
Department said yesterday that the mat
ter had been left entirely with Mr.. Hn.
les and he is to use his judgment. 1t is
the desire of the board, however, to have
the controversy settled as soon as pos
sible. As the matter now stands the
board does not know what its powers
are in the matter of purchasing real
estate. and cannot know until the court
passes upon the law. Therefore an early
ruling is hoped for, in order that the
department may know what plans it can
make for the future.

SURETY MEN
ARRESTED
Climax Reached in the Big Copper
Scandal.
CHARGE OF PERJURY MADE
Against Officers OF the Delaware
Surety Company, Incorporated
Under the Laws of Delaware,
Arraigned i'm New York.

New York, Oct. "a climax came here
today in the scandal arising out of tho
Amalgamated Copper Company's suit
against X. Augustus Heinze, when Ko-
bert l.. Martin, president, and Henry
Belthusen, secretary and treasurer of the
Delaware Surety Company, of Whining
ton, Del, arrested last night were ar
raigncd in the police court and held in
$4,000 bail each for further examination
on Saturday. The arrests were made on
charges Of purjury, preferred by Ernest
Wadenfuhn, of this city.
1t is alleged the prisoners falsely swora
that Il million dollars had been deposited
with their company for Heinze, to allow
him to operate the immense mines which
he had won from the Amalgamated Cop
per Company.
The copper scandal is the outcome of
Il quarrel which has been waging for
'ome time in Montana between the Amal-
gamated Company and Heinze. One of
the features of the case has been the
questioning Of the honor Of Judge w. Il.
Harney, before whom the case was
heard, and sensational revelations regard
ing an alleged undue influence exerted
upon the Judges by Mrs. Ada H. Bracli-
EFT. comely woman.
The trouble arose over the ownership
Of the Pennsylvania mine. The case was
carried through the Montana courts un.
til it reached the Supreme Court of the
State. There II ruling granted Heinzc
he right to extract ore from the Penn
>ylvania mine, providing he gave bonds
to the court for the ore extracted, which
might be redeemed in favor of the
.imalgamated Copper Company in case
the ultimate decision of the case be
against Heinze.
Counsel for the prisoners said in court
today that bonds to the amount of about
i1,000.O00 had been given by Heinze up
10 May 15 of this year, when Senator
Clark and others refused to give further
bonds AT that time, he said, Heinze
with his brother, Otto s. Heinze, an
employe, organized the Delaware Surety
Company ut Wilmington, Del.
This company, counsel said, had Of.
fered further bonds to the Montana
courts In the sum of s50O,00O, but to this
objection was made, and the company
was declared irresponsible and the prof.
| fered bond rejected and cash was de.
manded.
| This money was furnished. Then the
Montana court referred the question as
TO whether the officers Of the Surety
Company We're in contempt in Offering
alleged worthless bonds to the attorney
general Of Montana, who took the mat
ter under advisement. His report is ex.
pccted today
Who the complainant Wadenfnhn is
pr what his connection with the com
pany is cannot DO learned. The accused,
were released on bail.
