Kept the Court From Believing His
Plea of Poverty.
Police Captain Coffee John
Fitchett's Indictment charges him with
receiving gratuity for procuring an ape
pointment to police Office. He pleaded
not guilty and will gain his liberty al
soon as bail in the sum Of $1,000 has been
deposited. The case has. been set for
next Monday, but will probably be con-.
tinued. st
Inspector Malone is accused OF being
an accessory to a felony, 1t being alleged
in the Indictment that he aided two safe
crackers who robbed the safe in the Pabst
beer depot to escape, receiving $500 for
his services.
Charles F. Bracket, who worked with
Malone, is indicted with him on the same
charge.
Original Coffee John sustained his
reputation for doing unexpected things

grace. He was hot and red when called
before the bar in Judge Simpsons room

ment charging him with receiving q
gratuity for procuring an Office.
The indictment-is based on the appoint

force According to the allegations, Cap
tain Fitchette agreed with Long. who was
an old pa trolman, but was let out to make
room for the. .Ames strikers, to secure his
reinstatement on receiving $500. The
money was paid to Fitchette on Aug. 20.

FRIARS TO
GO GRADUALLY

Rome, Aug. 2.-According to state
ments Obtained from reliable sources,
it is the intention of the vatican that
the friars now in Manila should leave
there in small numbers at different
times, so that when negotiations are
resumed between Governor Taft and
the apostolic delegation all friars will
have left the archipelago in such way
that the friar question will have solved
itself without the necessity of further
discussion. The foregoing is inter
preted as late, but significant recognl-
ton by the vatican that Roots first
propositions were the most liberal ina.
could be devised.
The great influence of the religious
orders in Rome must be reckoneG
with, however, should they think 1T to
their interests to resist these measures.
From present indications this would
seem not to be so, as the general Au-
gustians will soon leave for the United
States to choose American Augustians
to replace the Spanish members of that
order now at Manila.

The decrease in the receipts from

sUBTERRANNEAN FISH.

An extraordinary phenomenon made
its appearance the other day in the
neighborhood Of Brockley, London.
A man working in a field had his at
tention suddenly diverted to q small
column of water rising in jerks in
spot where no water had been before,
Ind on making closer examination
the laborer discovered a number of
unusual-looking fish swimming about
in the pool formed by the uprushing
water. The total number of fish
elected from the spring reached five
or six hundred. They resembled carp
in shape, but possessed curiously-
formed fins, of a brilliant brick-red
color, and some were blind. A local
geologist expressed the opinion that
the origin of the spring was probably
to be found either in one of the sub
terranean streams which are known
to exist in this part of London or
else In a spontaneous outburst7 from
the water-bearing strata some hun
dreds of feet beneath the surface. He
favored the latter hypothesis, as he
considered it likely that owing TO the
recent heavy rainfall water might
have accumulated in such volume In
the upper tertiary formation that 1t
was able to force itself through the
clay and chalk deposits, and so to
the soil.

FAR WESTERN CROP.

Last Years in Washington.
Tacoma, Wash. Aug. 3.-The wheat
harvest has begun in scattered locali-
ties in the eastern part of the state,
and by Aug. win be general in the
Big Bend, the Palouse and the Walla
Walla countries. The yield promises
| to be equal, and some think it will ex-
coed that of last year, which was
phenomenal. The 1901 crop is placed
| at S2,000000 bushels, about 5000. 900
more than the average of previous
years. 1t is not generally believed
that the yield to the acre will be
greater than last year, but the increas-
ed acreage will make up any de-
| ficiency which may exist. The lTacoma
Grain company has already received
some of the new heat at its eastern
! Washington agencies. Speaking of
the condition of the wheat and of crop
prospects, E. Cardin, manager of the
company, said:
Growing wheat was never matured
under more favorable conditions than
the present crop. Enough and not too
much moisture has been beneficial to
its growth, and the yield this year will
be the second largest. il not the larg-
est, on record. Farmers all through
the eastern part of the state are we'll
pleased with prospects. The Big Bend
| and the Palouse sections are about
equal in production usually, the Pal
ouse is perhaps slightly the greater
Walla Walla comes third. Some wheat
is grown in the Horse Heaven coun-
try,
Harvesting machines will soon be
in operation throughout all these To-
calities. Ths new wheat comes into
practically clean warehouses, as the
last year crop is all but gone Prices
for the new product promise to be at
least fairly good. Wheat is now
] quoted at from GA cents to 67 cents a
bushel, about 10 cents higher than
last year at the corresponding time.
Then the additional fact exists that
freight rates and cargoes are no.
ticeably lower this year. Conse-
quently prospects for marketing the
crop at a decided profit are good.
| Thousands of men will be needed in
the wheat districts for harvest.
at is little too early to tel exact
ly the quality of the new wheat. In
some fields it is said the smut is worse

conditions should result in an ex.
