HEiNzE TEsTlFlEs.
But Declines to Answer Questions
Leading to information.

New York, June 13.-F. Augustus
Heinze Of Montana gave testimony to-
day before referee concerning the suf-
fiiciency OF the bond given by the Del
aware Surety company in the Mon
tana suit brought by him against GER
tain mining companies. He said the
company had capital stock OF $780,
900, and that it was really formed for
the purpose of furnishing security in
the present action.
Heinze said also that he and his
brother owned controlling interest
in the stock OF the company, but de-
clined to say whether they owned all
the stock or not. He declined also
to give the location Of the depository
of the company and said the officers
had been advised not to testify at the
present hearing. He thought an ac-
ton might be brought by the New
York state banking department
against the surety company for nom
compliance with the state banking
laws.

CRIME AN OUTRAGEOUS one

Shreveport, La, June 13.-Th1S city
and vicinity have been in a state Of
feyerish excitement and unrest since
yesterday, when John Gray Foster, a
prominent planter; was shot and killed
by Prince Edwards, negro en-
ployed on the Foster plantation, IL
miles east of this city.
Armed posses of white men have
been securing the country for miles
around in an attempt to capture Ed
! wards. A dozen or more negros are
under arrest in Kennebew's store and
what fate tonight may have in store
for them is uncertain.
Foster was widely known and very.
popular. He was brother-in-law Of
Governor Mcmillan of Tennessee, and
belonged to one Of the oldest families
in this state.
There had been bad feeling for
some time past between the negros
and ovepseer on the Foster planta.
tiOn and Foster was appealed to to
settle the difficulties. The planter
started to see the negros and upon
reaching negro cabin he was fred
upon and killed. There were doz-
en- or more negros in the cabin and
| they broke and ran in all directions.
The overseer was quickly Joined by
other men and it was not long before
all the negros were arrested, except
Prince Edwards, who did the shoot
ing. Posses were quickly formed and
started on hunt for the negro, but
as yet have made no further arrests.
There were many wild rumors
afloat throughout the day, the most
sensational being that the negros
| confined in the store were in immi-
nent peril Of being lynched. This
rumor proved to be untrue, although
many threats are heard against the
| prisoners.
The store where the negros are
confined is guarded by posse Of Is
men armed with Winchesters and un-
less sentiment changes, the disposi-
ton tonight would indicate that the
majority If not all the prisoners will
> De let off with thorough Whipping.
4 Edwards, if caught, will be burned or
lynched. There Is much feeling
againust the negros Smith and Ed
ward Washington, both Of whom are
under arrest. Smith is believed to be
at the bottom Of all the trouble, while
Washington is said to have been ac-
tive in aiding Edwards OF escape.
Governor Heard tonight wired to
! Sheriff Ward of Caddo parish and
4 Sheriff Thompson of Bossier, instruct
ing them to protect the negros at all
hazards. Tie governor commanded
| these officers to call upon citizens for
aid II necessary and promised mill
tary assistance If officers required it.
An attempt to move the negros
from the Kenebrew store to Benton
proved futile. The guards and their
prisoners had proceeded about mile
i when darkness overlook them and
they decided to return with their pris-
oners to the store. The negros pre-
ferred to take their chances at Ken
ebrew's place rather than face the
danger of mob on the way to Ben
ton.

Choppers Turn Out One Of the
Longest Columns Ever Seen
In st. Paul.

st. Paul, June 13.-The Modern
Woodmen Of America held no busi-
ness session today, all delegates and
visiting members joining in the grand
parade Of this morning. The parade
was one Of the largest ever seen in
this city Of conventions and the day
was one of the most beautiful Of Min
nesota June days. The snowy uni
forms of the teams, floats and other
rigs and marching men constituted q
most pleasing spectacle.
The parade formed on Western
avenue, in the residence district, and
swinging around on Summit headed
down that handsome avenue, turning
down Sixth street. through the busi-
ness section, past the Ryan hotel,
where the reviewing stand had been
placed, and finally disbanding at Ros-
by and Broadway.

shall, followed by Head Consul North
colt, Major Halves, General Michael
and the camp staff. Following were
the uniformed Foresters from Camp
Northcott under General Liggett. The

led by their drill teams and bands
and followed by state floats. The
Kansas girls band led that delega-
tion. The Whaleback camp from

COLONEL RAWLFs ON ALLEGED
coMM1ssARY FRAUDS.
NOT FROM QUARTERMASTER.
Government Goods Found In Pawn
Shops Sold By Discharged
Soldiers.

San Francisco, June 13.-Captain
A. w. Kimball, post quartermaster
at the Preside, made the following
statement today in regard to alleged
frauds in the sale Of quartermaster's
supplies belonging to the government:
Il am the officer that is concerned
in this matter, yet no one has yet
made any inquiry of me. am the
only bonded officer at the post, and
the only one accountable as disburs-
ing officer. II there has been any
thing irregular would be pleased to
give all the assistance in my power
in the search for the guilty man, If
there are any.
All government things sold in the
pawn shops are sold by discharged
soldiers from the returning volunteer
regiments
Colonel ]. B. Rawles Of the artil-
lery corps, post commander, said:
'.All this talk OF fraud is perfect
rot. People have been nagging for a
year on the same subject. have
been aware of the soldiers selling
their clothing for q long time. One
Of the puzzling and perplexing things
IN army management is to keep sol
diers from selling their clothing.
Il am confident that no quarter
masters sergeant or civilian employe
is implicated in the selling Of even a
shoe string"
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest Of Abe Abrams, son OF Louis
Abrams, the second hand dealer, who
with another son, is in custody.
Detective Reynolds reported to the
federal authortxteG today that he
found 20 pairs Of government shoes
In q Sacramento street place last
night.
Captain Seymour, Of the local detec
tive force, said today:
No one can say, In view OF al
that has transpired within the past
few days, that frauds have not been
going on. Detective Reynolds reports
to me that the investigation has made
a stir among secondhand stores and
those who deal in the class Of goods
stolen from the army, and that those
who have not already been visited by
Colonel Maus are hurrying to cover
what government goods they have. Il
seems the Abrams family had had 9
monopoly on this trade and the quan
titles which they were able to supply
their customers makes It seem con
elusive to my mind that there is some
one, or more, having access to the
quartermaster's department in col
lusion with them.
They will have q hard time ex
planning away the evidence agains,
them"
The announcement that a ware
house full Of stolen goods had beer
found, which was made yesterday OF
authority Of Captain Seymour, hal
been found to be erroneous.

SHIRTS AND COLLARS FOR
WELL DRESSED MANKIND

The April number OF the Haber-
dasher says concerning collar styles:
1t is evident that the demand from
the better class of retailers which is
first shown In specials reveals avery
marked increase In the sale OF both
wing and poke collars. These collars
have been selling to the best trade dur
Ing the winter Just past. and will un-
doubtedly figure more prominently in
next autumn's trade. The fold collars
which have been the principal sellers
for the past four years will no doubt
continue to enjoy their pre-eminent
position, at least until the end Of the
coming summer. No collar style yet
designed has so perfectly met all sum-
mer requirements as the fold collar. II
Is the only collar that looks well on
soft shirt. and 1t willis less quickly
than any other style. In Its various
widths and its various styles Of fronts
It meets every demand, and it is safe
to predict that 1t will be the leading
style throughout the summer But we
&c not think that 1t will form SO large
percentage of the trade during the
winte~ months as it did last winter and
the winter before. There are man,
reasons to support our contention tha
the standing collars Of the wing ant
poke variety will assert themselves
next autumn. fr
In reference to shirts. the Haber
dasher says:

SHIRT WAIST JUDGES

Indianapolis, INDIA a meeting OF
the executive committee of the Indian
apolis Bar Association a resolution was
introduced and adopted after some dis
cussion asking the Judges Of the SUI
perior and Circuit Courts to wear shirt
waists after May !.
The reason assigned for this action Is
that the trial of cases during the heat
ed term is attended with great incon-
venience because Of the heat, and that
II the Judges would consent to wear
shirt waists, the attorneys would gen.
orally conform to the custom, and
there would he no necessity for lawyers
pulling off their coats and collars, as Is
&C frequently the case when trying
causes in the hot months. Judge AL
len said that 1t was probable the
Judges would conform to the resolu'
ton, and II so an effort would be made
to have all Judges wear the same color!

TAX FRANCHISE AND INCOME

Kansas City, Mo.-President NJ. E.
ingalls, of the Big Four Railroad,
speaking at a dinner of the Knife and
Fork Club, held in thisc ity, advocated
the income tax and the franchise tax.
"We are just learning" said Mr.. In
gals, that franchise tax is the cas-
lest collected of any, and is probably
one of the fairest ways of raising reve-
nue.. OF course, those who manage
corporations will object, as everybody
does, to paying taxes, but nevertheless
Il is right and proper. Those that have
the protection of the State should bear
their share of its burdens. have al
ways believed In an income tax, and
have thought that the decision Of our
Supreme Court against the constitu-
tionalty of such a tax was one of the
most unfortunate occurrences Of the
age We should have n tax on all in
comes, large or small exempting q
moderate amount, as most Of the States
exempt a certain amount Of property
from execution and levy. This country
Is so rich that with fair system oil
taxation and economy in expenditure
that the tax rate will be SO low that
Il will not be oppressive. and thus you
will encourage and protect your small
property holders"
