f. Wernse Bond and Stock Co., gave
bond in the sum of 1000 each in the
federal court Saturday afternoon fol
their appearance in court TO answer
an Indictment returned by the fed
eral grand jury Friday. The indict.
ment alleges the use Of the United

it was only by chance that the in.
formation leaked out. The warrants

trict attorney, being present, and

POULTRY AND EGG INDUSTRY.
Small Shippers Being Driven Out of
Business by the Big Packing
Houses.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 3.-The big
into the business of packing and ship
ping eggs and poultry for consump-
ton in eastern markets hat the bust
ness of the small shippers in this
destruction, according to members of
the Produce Dealers association of
Kansas and Oklahoma, which met
here yesterday to consider the stu
Kas., president of thc association,
said.
The packers are so firmly in
trenched that / do not believe we can
do much to oppose them. l do not
known whether the recent operations
Of the big dealers could be called a
corner or not. However, / do know
that four big firms have stored 144,-
600, 900 eggs, or 4O0, 900 cases. At this
time last year more than one billion
eggs, or 3,000,0 900 cases, were in cold
storage. There will be fewer eggs
stored this year because the prices
are higher"
Among the men at yesterdays
meeting it was asserted that the
poultry dealers are compelled to pay
higher rates than the packers for
shipments of dressed poultry from
here to the seaboard. "The produce
dealers of the west" one dealer is
quoted as saying, must combine
against the packers, for an important
industry is being ruined"

OFFICERS GIVE THEIR VERSION.
Claim to Have Been Assaulted BY a
Mob and Acted in SeIf-Defense.

Venice, May 3.-In an interview
with n representative Of the press
the prisoners warmly r%epudiated the
statement from Rome that they were
under the influence of wine when the
trouble occurred, and said that, on
the contrary, they were absolutely
sober.
Lieut.. John S. Dod1ridge remarked:
"After the accidental upsctting of a
table in a cafe by myself and a COM
panion at IL o'clock at night, we
were followed and attacked by a mob,
and two municipal policemen APP
peared on the scene. l, with my open
hand, motioned to the crowd TO keep
off. The police then seized us. but
the mob continued so threatening
that our brother officers and a marine
who happened to be GA the piazza
ran to our rescue. We acted only in
self-defense, and against a large,
hostile crowd. We did not strike the
police. Doubtless misunderstanding
of the two languages had something
to do with the trouble. We have been
allowed to remain together in prison,
but the room in which we have been
confined swarmed with insects"

WILL NOT SURRENDER KRAFT.
The Mexican Government Positively
Refuses to Give Up the st.
Louis Fugitive.

Washington, May 3.-The state de-
partment has received a telegram
from the government of Mexico which
contains notification of absolute re-
fusal to extradite Charles Kraft, the
st. Louis fugitive, because the United
States government can not give as
of reciprocity should the oc-
casiOn arise.
The man has been held under ar
rest at Guanajara, the Mexican gov
eminent having consented to his pro-
visional detention for eight days
pending consideration of the request.
An effort was made to secure the
prosecution of Kraft in Mexico, but
without avail, and under the decision
just announced, he will be discharged
and go unpublished.

THE RUSH OF IMMIGRANTS.
All Previous Records Broken by the
Number Arriving the ast
Four Months.

New York, May 5.-The rush of i'm
migrants TO this port, which has sig
nalized the first four months of the
year, reached a climax the week end
ed last night, during which time 25.-
120 immigrants were brought TO this
city from the various European ports.
The total number of immigrants ar
irving here for the four months end
ing April 30, was 17s,604, an excess
of more than thirty thousand over
any previous year for the same Pc
Rod. BY months the record this year
is:
January, 13,243 immigrants; Februs
immigrants; April, 1867 immigrants
When it is mentioned that the total
airy, 29,519 immigrants; March, 57,175
number landing here last year was
43S, s6S, it will be seen that 1902 has
started out as a record breaker. No
less than 12,340 immigrants were
landed at Ellis island Saturday and
yesterday. and in addition to this l.
600 were left aboard the steamer Tar
tar Prince to be landed to-day.
In all the history of handling immi-
grants through the Barge Office land
ing the police never bad so much
trouble to restrain the crowds which
fiocked to the Battery to see the peo-
pie come over from Ellis island as
yesterday. Added to the hundreds
who had friends or relatives whom
they came down to meet, there were
several thousand idlers who, attract
ed by the sight of the immigrants
coming off the boat, crowded upon
the sidewalk in front of the barge
Office and simply refused to move on
until driven back by sheer force.
Among the passengers on the
French liner Bretagne was Capt. ST.
cilliano, of the Italian army, who
comes here commissioned by his gov
eminent to investigate and report on
the emigration from his country to
America. He says that the enormous
exodus from certain districts of Italy
threatens to depopulate those sec
lions. and his mission is to learn the
cause of the unusually large emigra.
ton and devise means to curtail it.

THOUGHT 1T WAS A
An Interesting Incident Of the
C~hnrIestOwn Celebration of June
IL, 1869 Not on the Bills.

Tbereisnochild in Charlestown who
cannot tell you that the battle which
has popularized the name of bunker
Hill district was fought on June IL,
1775.
1t was II years before any celebra-
ton took place, and even then the
event was most conspicuous in its re-
lation to the opening of the Charles
river bridge, just now torn down.
The first monument was erected by
King Solomon lodge F. and A. NJ, in
honor of Gen. Warren. This was a
Tuscan pillar Is feet high, standing on
q pedestal eight feet in height.
The first formal movement for an
association to erect a monument was
on May 10, 1928, in response to a call
signed by Daniel Webster, W. Tudor
and Theodore Lyman, Jr. The men,
bership fee was five dollars, but this
nucleus was slowly augmented. Sub
scriptions were slow and requests few,
says the Boston Globe.
A lottery a proposed, but Massa-
chusetts sentiment forbade it. Patriot
ic women took hold of the matter, and
to them is due a large amount of credit
for success.
Still, after various struggles, and the
danger of stopping construction be-
fore the shaft had reached the desig-
mated height, the capstone was placed
in position on the morning of June II,
1S43, and the celebration of completion
took place with lannon's roar, trum-
pet blare and Changing of bells, and the
Grafton of Daniel Webster, who had
performed similar duties at the laying
of the corner stone fby Lafayette in
1925.
The regular celebrations of the bat
ties anniversary have never lost their
interest. parades, decorations, salutes,
music, bell ringing, b%anquets, speeches
and other features crowd the moments
for more than "a hours.
A chief feature in many years has
been the %grotesque parade, in early
morning, of the antiques and hor-
ribles. the local hits vieing with car
features of prominent events of a gen.
eral character, and taxing for weeks
the genius and acumen of the COM
mittee of arrangements.
A unique incident in the celebration
of 1860 was entirely without previous
suggestion. The night before the 18th
two of the committee happened into a
hotel in Boston and ran across a bust
ness man from New York, who bore a
striking resemblance to Gen. U. S.
Grant. They told him of the celebra-
ton, craved his assistance and he ac-
cepted.
Next morning he was taken in the
most elegant barouche to be procured
in Boston, and with dignitaries of the
Bunker Hill city in the same car
riage, he was driven over. A proper
military personal escort accompanied
him, and he vas dressed in full mill
tary uniform, and constantly smoked
a cigar, which was at least nine inches
long.
AS he was escorted into the line of
motley antiques there was no need of
introduction. S~even-eighths of the
people were completely deceived, and
as he rode along plaudits burst the at
mosphere, while he, complacent as the
hero of Appomattox, quietly bowed
his Acknowledgements, with DOTTED
chapeau and unruf1ed countenance.
