The REFEREES FEE
SUBJECT OF HAGGLING
Proposal by the Club 10 Cut It Down
to 5000.

San Francisco, July 15.-There is
trouble within the ranks of the pugilis-
tic lights who are to bring off the bat
tie here on July 25th between Jeffries
and Fitzsimmons. The referee is to BE-.
paid 5000 instead of $500 and may de-
cline to serve at that figure. while the
veteran announcer, Billy Jordan, has
been turned down for the occasion Of
the championship battle, and an un-
known will serve in his stead Th,
signed agreements call for no definite
compensation to the referee, but it was
generally considered that $500 would BIZ
the figure. The club officials, however.
have defied tradition and claim that
5000 is a sufficient fee. Both Jeffrie.;
and the Cornishman uphold the club
in the matter of the referees pay. and
fistic wiseacres believe the squabble will
be peacefully settled.
The sale of seats for the big fight
opened this morning at Harry Cor
belts and before the noon hour some
large orders had been received, the de-
mand for mediocre seats being much
larger than had been expected. Th"
club officials claim that if the days
sale can be taken as criterion the
seating capacity of the improvse:i
arena at Fourteenth and Valencia
streets will be exhausted before the
men are called together.

COOL BODIES

You can feel as fit as q Lord in hot
weather if you cat sensibly. If you
aren't entirely happy in hot weather
ours.
Take Il cold sponge bath, dress leis-
urcIy and sit down to n breakfast of
Grape Nuts and cream, little fruit
and a cup of Postum Food Coffee
Don't fear you won't starve: on the
contrary, that 'Lordly feeling" will
take possession of YOU by lunch time.
Grape Nuts is a concentrated food
and contains as much nourishment as
bulky body heating food like meat, po-
tatoeS. etc. Its crisp daintiness will
appeal TO your palate and the result is
a very marked difference in the tenn
pcrature of the body and the Cert1inty
of ease and perfect digestion.
Quit coffee; it unne turally stimulates
the brain and nerves, heating the body
ana causing an uneven temper; use
Postum Food Coffee, has charming
flavor when properly made and does
not affect the nervous system, but as
sists the brain II work with ease and
cIearncss.
Experience and experiment in food
and its appliCatiO to the human body
has brought out these facts. They can
DC made use of and add materially to
the comfort of the user during the hCt
weather.

;ified that i'll their judgment the prop
critics were worth at least the par value
of the preferred stock after deducting
all indebtedness. The corporation de-
clares it has no knowledge that Hodge
is the owner of 100 shares of its pre-
ferred stock, but admits that in 1901
100 shares OF preferred stock were trans
ferred to his name on the company's
books. 1t is denied that William H.
Curtss is the owner of any of the
companys stock, and it is declared that
Bernard Smith is the holder of 200
shares of preferred stock. which was
transferred to him on June 26, 1906.
The conversion plan was agreed up
on at the stockholders meeting on May
10. The answer admits that the con-
version plan includes the payment of
$10,000.000 to J. P. Morgan G. Co. 1t
denies that any of the acts contem-
plated will work fraud or injury to the
complainants, but says, on the con-
trary, that such acts, when consum-
mated, will be greatly to the benefit
of the corporation and of every stock
holder. The answer says that some
of the directors are members of syn
Gicate formed by j. p. Morgan & Co
to float the bonds, and that fact was
communicated to the stockholders in
a circular dated April II, 1902. 1t is
further declared that the directors so

WALL STREET JUSTICE
Another Liberal Apportionment Was
Made Yesterday.

Francisco Robles after Il night in the
county Jail felt very humble yesterday
and her department in Justice Gray's
court was above reproach. She made
haste to plead guilty to the charge of
being drunk and using language the
statutes frown upon. She was sent
back to Jail again for nine more days
on the theory that if little of that
medicine could do her so much good.
more of it might effect cure.
Bartola Medina. who was on Monday
sentenced to ten days in Jail for some
crooked work, was tried yesterday for
mixing up in a three-cornered scrap
and Jesus Miranda. Twenty days ex-
tension was put on Bartolas Jail SEN
tcncc and the other men were dis
charged.

to come in and give herself up.
Lorenzo Feliz was arraigned on the
charge Of rolling another Mexican
named 1gnacio and taking $45 from
him. but the case was continued till
Saturday morning.

the payment of the expenses, which are
not very heavy, yet they amount to
something. There are orders to be
sent out and communications to be ad-
dressed or answered. They involve an
expense tor typewrting and postage.

time of a busy man.
The removal of the headquarters will
also remove the regimental band; not
the members of the band, but the in
struments and the uniforms. There is
now only one band in Phoenix, the Pio-
reer. 1t may become the military band
or another may find it eas:, with the
instruments furnished, to organize.
There is 4 great deal of musical mate
rial lying around Phoenix, and no doubt
it will be crystalized into q band to
whose strains the National Guar.l of
Arizona may march to glory.

A SUSPECT HELD
Believed to Be an Accomplice of Law
Break ers.

A man by the name of Burns was ar
rested for vagrancy by Officer Russell
yesterday afternoon whose case may
amount TO but very little. but which
on the other hand may result in either
the arrest of others or the breaking
up of a little gang of sneak thieves.
Monday evening, as was announced
in yesterdays paper Constable Martin
arrested two men in front of William
Limbrock's shoe shop, one of them hav-
ing stolen a pair of shoes. He was
caught in the act by Limbrock's son
and by a man named Matthews, who
keeps little place near by. Mr. Mat
thews caught the man and held him till
the officer came up, the thief in the
meantime engaging in a scuff1e with
him. Shortly afterward Mr.. Matthews
missed eight ten-dollar bills he had but
few minutes before placed in his shirt
pocket. Though it is possible they were
dropped on the sidewalk in the scufIlc
it is also possible that one of the men
arrested got the money. One of the
men, as announced in another column,
was tried yesterday by Justice Gray,
and this story is all predatory to what
happened yesterday.
Those doing business along that block
state that beside the two men arrested
four other suspicious characters were
seen passing up and down the sidewalk
at various times during the afternoon.
1t is believed they stole things from the
New York store. the Fair and other
places of business. Yesterday morning
the police learned that two fairly we'll
dressed men with a big satchel were
seen in the western part of town, and
their conduct was peculiar. Later they
learned that two others were seen with
them and then left them
Officers Kinney and Russell beat the
brush and the back alleys from the s.
f. P. and P. depot west to the cemetery
but could never come up with the gen
tlcmen suspects. The other two men
were seen by Officer Russell but sep
arated before he could get to them. In
the meantime T. w. Chamberlain had
reported that a couple of suspicious
characters had nested in his lumber
yard the night before, and Mr.. Russell
finally captured one of them who gave
the name of Burns and who proved to
he one of the nj IN he had been follow
! ing.
| In court yesterday afternoon Burns
| denied having any friends or acquain-
| tanCeS IN town. and SAID he arrived her3
Monday afternoon from Glendale be-
/ ing en- route to Troy. He got little
more liquor on board than he intend
ed and slept in lumber yard. but could
| not tell which one till he sized the place
up: He had left his blankets there and
when caught went back to find them,
but could not. He also said Mr.. Cham
berlain gave him permission to look for
! his blankets and he was not a tres
passer. His case was continued till this
afternoon in the hope that something
more definite may develop and more
witnesses may be secured. Burns is IL
very intelligent sort of a person and
appears to he a man of better educa-
tion than is generally found among that
class of criminals. He says he is d
miner and a workingman. He tells /
good clear story. but the police are in
clined to think he is romancing.

aud Cattle Thieves

Denver, Col, July 15.-The Denver
and Rio Grande Rio Grandc train, No.
315. west bound. was held uD two miles
cast CT Chester. on the western slope
of Marshall pass at $50 yesterday
morning. The baggage car was de-
molished by dynamite and the express
car robbed. The express company says
its loss is nominal.
The passengers were lined up at tie
rear of the train and robbed.
Engineer Rutland was the only one
injured, being struck over the head
with a rife.
The amount the robbers obtained
from the passengers ranged from $50
down. The bulk Of the money and
jewelry was secreted by the passengers
under rocks and various places. One
man buried $1,000 under rocks An
other took to the woods with 81, 500.
and made his way back to Marshall

to the suit brought by j. Aspinwan

When the case came up before the

S66, ,0C0.0 GOO and over SS0,G00,0 900 of mate
rial in process of manufacture. The
total value of the company property,
including cash and cash assets. is
placed at 81, 100000 by Mr.. Schwah
in his affidavit which is a part of the
corpora tion's reply.
The company's earnings are said to
be at the rate of more than S140000.00C

is credited to ore properties, and it is
estimated that the ownership of trans
portation facilities saves the company
s10,000.00O annually. The earnings OF
the coke and coal property are stated
to be more than $1,000,0CO a month

to say him nay. The only unusual
thing in the pit prior to The time at
which it became known that the cor
ner was at an end was the unusual
purchasing of July corn in small lots
by various commission houses
Manager Scotch would not discuss
the settlement price. This price. how
ever. was not Il matter of decided in
tercst to the trade generally. With
the knowledge that Monday nights
closing price was 81 cents and the
opening today from 20 cents to so cents.
the concensus o. opinion among the
outsiders was that Gates had demand
ed either so or 81 cents from the people
who were foolish enough 10 sell him
corn all the way from 60 cents up. The
length of the line of July corn set
tied for by the shorts is also a matter
of more or less conjecture. Scotten
said it was several million bushels,
and that the length of the line had
never been overestimated. 1t has been
called as high as 25,O00,00O bushels. but
more generally 2O,000,O00 bushels. 1t
is Il matter of common knowledge
since it became possible to make deliv-
cries on July contracts that the Har-
ris-Gates people have taken in and paid
for about 100000 bushels. This would
leave settlements en- some 1000, G0C
bushels.
To form an estimate of the apparent
profit by the deal would neccssitate a
knowledge of the average price al
which the property was bought. This
can never be known Unless some time
later Gates chooses to divulge it. II
is estimated. however. by close OBJ
servers Of the transaction that Gatos
profit will not exceed 81 800, 600

LOST CONTROL OF

The Battleship Injured in the Har Dor
Christi lana, Norway.

Christiania. July 15.-The United
States battle ship Illinois. flagship of
Rear Admiral Crowninshield, and the
United States cruiser Chicago have ar
rived here.
While the Illinois was standing in
the harder, leading the squadron, her
steering gear failed and her helm
jammed hard to- starboard, with the
ship headed straight for shore. Beth
anchors were let go and her engines
were backed promptly, but the port
anchor chain parted. The ship struck
an obstruC ton, and Il hole was punched
in her bottom. Two small compart-
ments filled with water, the crew were
piped to quarters and the water-tignt
doors were closed. The rest of the
squadron stood into the inner barber.
The Illinois was eventually backed off
and anchored safely.

known that shorts to the extent of Il
good million bushels had effected
private settlement with Harris. Gates
6, &C., and that the deal was at an end
SO far as the steel magnate was con-
Ceraed. The July price responded to
the settlement by a quick drCp of 1&
cents, to 65l4 cents. Later it recoV-
cred fraction and closed a 65S
cents, substantially the price of the
cash article.
Just how many bushels were subject
to private settlement viii probably new
er be known. nor is there much chance
that the identity of the big fellows"
in the trade, who doubtless contrib
uted literally to the fortunes of Gates
and the friends associated with him
in the deal, will ever be positively
known. Gates is at present in New
York, and Mr.. Scotten, manager for
the Harris-Gates house, would admit
only the fact of settlement by out
standing shorts. Even the fact of the
terminate of the July deal was left
largely to inference. But trade really
figured that with the shorts practically
all in, nothing in the shape of a cor
ner could exist.
No special excitement attended the
premature puncturing Of the bubble
by the man whose property it was.
The trade has all along admitted that
Gates was right, ard also his ability
to do what he pleased with corn. and
if he chose to close the deal a couple o.
weeks prior to the time it would have
ended by limitation there was &c one
