(By the Associated Press.)

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. Judge Nun
ger, OF the United States District Court,
today refused to grant Letson Ballet,
known as the Mining King a new trial
and sentenced him to pay a fine of So 900
and spend one year in jail. Balliett was

In 1900 he purchased what is known as
the white Swan mine in baker ore
which had been deserted by the original
owners. and Immediately TO export the
same through the newspaper advertisers
and sold stock on the monthly paymentu
plan. 1t was shown on the witness stand
a he time of the trial that over $1S0000
was received By Billet from small in
vestors from all over the United States.
1t was also shown that not a dollar was
extended upon the mine, although repre-
sensations were made to the contrary in
his advertising matter.
Ballet has served notice of an appeal.
{ The case has been tried twice and has
cost the government fully $4,000.

Changes in the Shamrock III.
(By the Associated Press.)

Glasgow, Nov. THE Associated Press
understands that in the Shamrock III
will be embodied some radical departures
in the matter of yacht construction which
have not appeared in any previous chal-
lenger These changes are said to be
due to an accidental discovery made dur
ing the trial of Shamrock l and II which
convinced Designer Watson that there
hand been a fundamental error in the
construction of all the recent challengers
This discovery was made too late to adj
NIT of remodclling of Shamrock IL but
when it's nature was explained to Sir
Thomas Upton it had great weight in
deciding to try a third time for Amer
ica's cup. Both Designers Fife and Wat
son arc convinced that they possess solid
data upon which they win now be able to
build a yacht superior to any previous cup
racer They are certain that they have
evolved an idea which affects the whole
theory of the proposition of sailing
yachts.

Inres and his Band.

The master bandmaster, Innes, and his
famous band were at the Academy of
Music last night and the audience was
charmed with a most delightful program
rendered in magnificent style. Innes is
a genial bandmaster and he imparts this
spirit in the Interpretation of the music
rendered. 1t is a great company OF
musicians, for Innes would have no 9TH
ers. Every number on the program re-
ceived an ovation, and while the COM
positions of the greatest masters were
played yet the old familiar airs that
never grow old found a place in the
program much to the delight Of the au-
dience.
"a Louisiana Purchase" and "Ameri
cas- Might" two compositions Of Innes
were included in the numbers rendered
and were warmly received by the au-
dience. AS a compliment he had the
band to render march composed by the
member OF the band never before played
in public. 1t was well received
The cornet solos of Mr.. Bohumir Kryl
and the harp solos of Mr.. sevasta wore
special features Of the evening and both

Weston, and waited in the Cambridge
station for her train from 7:30 until S
D. M. During this time she had an ex
cellent opportunity of observing the
actions of two white men and a negro
who were at the station. and she told
the officers today that she is positive
she could identify the three men wher-
ever she might see them. The two white
men were looking at a photograph when
one CT them said:
We'll, VIC might as we'll buy ticket.
They purchased single trip ticket to
Waverly, and this ticket, the nurse says,
she saw handed to the negro by one of
the white men as they passed out of the
depot, although the white men and the
negro had previously manifested no sign
of recognition.
The negro took the same train that she
did and she say him alight at Waverly.
This places the negro in Waverly at
S:13 or about three quarters of an hour
before the assault upon Miss Morton
YVES committed.
The descriptions of the three men as
given by the nurse are considered inn
portant. That of the colored man agrees
with the description of the negro who
accompanied the man who pawned Miss
Morton's watch on Monday morning.
An iron bar was found today at the
edge of Handyside pond, in Waverly, to
which, it is claimed by some, the muir
dorer of Saturday night went to wash
his hands. The bar is two feet long and
a little rusty. 1t was on the edge of
the pond and the drawing off of the
water brought it to light.
During the afternoon Mrs. Sayres,
from WATERFOWL called at the Cam
bridge Jail and told Sheriff Fairbanks
that she wanted to see Alan G. Mason,
because she believed the pictures which
had appeared in the newspapers that he
was the man who had annoyed her last
summer in a library room in this city.
Mason again was placed in line with
other inmates of the Jail and, with them,
was subjected to a rigid scrutiny. AS in
the case of Nemser's attempt at identi-
fication, Mrs. Sayres was allowed to give
no sign or utter no word in the presence
of the man before her. but when she
returned to the sheriff's office from the
Jail she declared that the fourth man
in line. was the one who had annoyed
neT. Inc IOuTIH man was MdSOu.
This alleged Identification by Mrs.
Sayres adds another feature to the case,
as it recalls another "Jack- the-slugger''
case in which John C. Soderquest was
convicted of assault with intent to kill
Miss r. A. Roquett on August S0th, in
the same library building referred to by
Mrs. Sayres. Soderquest was the jani-
tor at the building, and for the crime
the man is now serving a sentence of
seven years.
The belief was expressed at the time
that Soderquest pleaded guilty, that he
was responsible for many mysterious
assaults on young woman in Cambridge
and Brookline, who were beaten on the
head with some iron weapon just as
Miss Morton and Miss McPhee were
State police are now investigating the
story of Mrs. Sayres in connection with
the more details of the Soderquest affair.

Republican Cry of Fraud in Chicago

Chicago Nov. THE Record Herald
says today that Daniel Healy, Repub-
lcan candidate for sheriff at the recent
election, claims that he has been elected
and that the count, which showed the
election of Thos. z. Barrett. Democrat,
by nearly 1000 plurality, is false. 1t is
claimed that the total vote for sheriff
was in excess to the extent of more than
10000 votes of the number of the ballots
issued in the county for the election.
According to a report from the board of
elections between 284,000 and 285,000 bal
lots were issued at the polls, including
the number destroyed and those wrongly
stamped. Figures give the total vote
for sheriff at 294, 943 Where the differ
ence comes in has given rise to theory of
fraud, in the interest of some candidate
for sheriff on the ticket.
