DEATH OF JOHN READ.
Body Found In Lonely Paradise Valley
CANYON.

John T.. Read, one Of the oldest of Par
adise valleys settlers, was found dead in
O'Neal canyon, about eight miles from
the town of Paradise, on Thursday. The
only particulars known here were brought
by Ed. Connors, who came after a coffin
for the body.
1t seems that Mr.. Read had taken up a
little place in the canyon, built himself
a small cabin and made a garden. He
was a man of wealth and could have built
himself a mansion had he so desired,
but for some strange reason preferred
to live in the manner stated.
This summer Mr.. Read had spent most
of his time on his little place in O'Neal
canyon, coming to town at intervals of
a couple of weeks for supplies. This
week he did not come at the expected
time, and a search was instituted by his
brother Sam Read. The cabin was found
unoccupied, but Mr.. leads body was
found lying in the underbrush some dis
lance 4way. There was nothing to in
dictate that foul play had been committed
and the condition of the body was such
that death had evidently occurred several
days before. The remains were taken to
Paradise, where an inquest was held by
Justice of the Peace Bradshaw. The
jury's verdict was to the effect that Mr..
Read came to his death on or about July
I'd and from natural causes.
Deceased was about sixty years old and
a native of Missouri. He had lived in
Paradise valley for about thirty years,
engaging in farming and stockraising
and becoming wealthy. About two years
ago he sold all his property. receiving
$50. 900 therefor. After settling up every
thing he had about $40, 900 in cash, which
represents about the amount of the es-
tate left. He had no family, the near
est relatives beng his brother, Sam
Read, and a sister. who lives In Cali
fornia.

Arm HAD GROWN OUT
Strange Transformation Scene at
the Empey Hearing To-day.
A.BLAoK MAN HAD BECOME WHITE
Bit ON Decoy Descriptions
and Is Confronted by the
Real People.

1t was a remarkable gathering of men
that assembled in United States Commits
sioner\ H. S. Abbott's Office this after
noon to appear against e. E. Empey, the
Excelsior attorney, arrested Saturday al
terpoon at the St. Louis station by Mar
shall W. H. Grimshaw, on q charge of
using the mails with intent to defraud.
It was a Transformation scene. When
claims for damages were made on the
railroads by Empey as attorney. the claim
agents would send him deooy descriptions
Of the trainmen and these were used by
Empey in his afidavits. This accounts
for the fact that Conductor A. S. Wilson,
described by Empey as a man adorned
with black moustache and an artificial
hand happens to be transformed into a
heavy set man with full red beard and
two as brawny arms as ever elected a
Weary Willie from the blind baggage. 1t
also makes plain the rapid change of W.
H. Dodd from "a colored brakeman with
his left eye disfgured by wound into
good looking white man with uninjured
optics.
The arrest Is important and the rail-
road claim agents of the country as far
as possible were present to-day. On hand
were the defendant, C. C. Haupt, United
States attorney, F. N. Dickson, assistant;
W. S. MoCaull, secretary of the Claim
Agents association; J. L. MeCauN, presi-
dent of McCaull- Webster company; Miss
Gertrude Williams, assistant postmaster

Inspector Fred Malone will be placed
on trial noxt Monday. All the police
cases have been set for that day, but it
is understood that Malone will be given
precedence as the state is not fully pre-
pared in the other cases. 4....- /. r..
1t was the intention to try "Red"
Cohen before Mayor Ames as much of the
evidence in CoheE's case would be ma
terial in the trial Of the mayor. Cohen's
conviction would greatly strengthen the
case against the mayor, and It is very
likely that If the young man whose au-
Turn locks have given him his soubriquet
should be convicted, he would go to the
confessional. .-~,
Cohen is rot just where the authorities
can reach him, however, and it will be
necessary to delay his trial. The mayor
is ready for trial, but it is believed that
the county attorney would rather take
up some other case first in order to gain
time to make the case as strong as pos
sible against the mayor r. .... .- 49,

SPAIN IS AFTER TRADE
TOURISTS ARE ENCOURAGED
The New Spanish Minister Arrives
in New York-A Plea for
Trade.

New York, July 17.-Emilio De Ojada,
the new Spanish minister to this country,
is in the city and will remain here for a
short time before going to Newport for
the summer. Discussing the conditions
of trade in Spain and the proposed eel
procity treaty with the United States, the
minister Is quoted by the Journal Of Com
MERGE as saying:
"spain, having lost her colonies, fully
recognizes the Importance of increasing
her commercial relations in order to ad-
just her affairs to the new conditions.
But what is needed as a preparation for
increased commercial intercourse is a
better understanding and more general
intercourse between the two peoples. I
find there is almost total ignorance, in
popular sense, in the United States as
to what Spain is, and there is even
greater ignorance, If possible, in Spain
in regard to the United States. AS be-
ginning therefore I favor increased inter
course between the two nations. When
the people Of Spain and the United States
get to understand each other better the
commercial opportunities will follow.
"And I think that happy and practi-
cal way of creating this better under
standing has been hit upon. The idea is
to establish kind of syndicate to COM
prise the rich bankers in Spain, the rail-
road companies the hotels, etc, for the
purpose of encouraging American tour
lists to visit our country. The plan is to
make the trip as cheap and in every way
as pleasant as possible.
There has been wonderful progress in
the Spanish shipyards and in sugar grow
ing and planting. The foreign office has
already given this matter great study and
as first step has started a sample Office
for the purpose Of giving our own people
an idea of foreign requirements. Samples
of all articles that Spain can produce and
that have foreign market are on exhi-
bition, with their ruling prices attached,
and the new department is one that will
undoubtedly prove of great value"

A REMODELED EXPO
Suggestions for Auditorium Point
That Way.

The Commercial clubs auditorium COM
mittee held a meeting at noon to-day and
discussed plans for the construction of a
ground floor auditorium in the exposition
building. Several suggestions were sub
mitted by various architects, and, al
though no decision was reached, the COM
mittee is inclined to believe that it will
be cheaper and more satisfactory in every
way to remodel the exposition building
than to attempt to erect a complet ely new
auditorium elsewhere. However, there
are some members who want an auditor
ium on the west side, and they will have
hearing before decision is made.
A meeting will be held tomorrow noon
to discuss with practical builders the
plans submitted. The club has invited sew
eral builders to attend, and the ultimate
determination will depend largely upon
and whether their estimates will approx
and whether their estimates will aproxi-
mate those of the architects. While the
club has no desire to foist 'tcheap john
auditorium upon the community, it feels
that economy is necessary to carry the
project to a successful termination. At
the lowest figure the work will still be
expensive.
