Man Arrested at FRirpIay, Colorado,
for Killing of Two Men in
Wyoming.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 1s.-(Special.)-The

Of s. Morris VAIN and G. ". Strong. Vain
and Strong belonged to prominent families
n ths east.
Strong's father in 1888, the year of the
murder, was a Wall street operator. VAIN
came from Haverford, a suburb Of Phila-
delphia, and his brother Jacob is q. COM
mission merchant in that city. Strong and
VAIN came west on a hunting trip, and on

ton papers and were prepared to arrest him
on his release from prison. but he was
liberated several days earlier than they
anticipated and he made good his escape.

MoRoS RENEWING ATTACKS
Outposts and PRck Trains of Amer
leans Suffering from Harass-
ing of This Tribe.

MANILA, Aug. 1S.-The Moros on Min
danao are renewing their attacks upon the
outposts and pack trains Of the American
column at Lake Lsnao, which is under the
comman OF Captain ]. j. Pershing, OF the
Fifteenth cavalry. The Americans have sue
cessfully repulsed the Moro attacks and
have suffered no ,iesses. The, commanders
OF the American forces on Mindanao re-
port aggressive action against the Moros
to be necessary and ask permission TO
move against Bacolod and other strong
holds OF the hostile Mohammedans. There
are about 1000 American soldiers on Min,
danao available for the desired aggressive
move. 1t is believed that this is sufficient
70 defeat the Moros, though II would possl-
bly, be necessary to strengthen their base
before undertaking the movement.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ia cable dis
patch has been received from General Chat
fee stating that in his judgment an active
campaign against the Moros in Mindanao
was necessary in order to curb the opposi-
ton that has been growing against United
states authority. The dispatch was con-
sidered Of sufficient Importance to be re-
peated to President Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay.
General Chaffee has been directed to use
his own discretion in the matter and will
no doubt engage in an aggressive move
ment against the insurgent Moros. Some
time before Secretary Root left Washington
the Moro situation was under considera-
ton. and from a dispatch then at hand the
secretary was OF the opinion that the Moros
must be dealt with severely before they
would respect the authority Of the United
States.
General chatee is now in Mindanao. hav-
Inc IAEe
paisn should continue for some time he no
doubt will remain in the Philippines instead
Of leaving on September 30. as. he had
planned. 1t is understood a. the war de-
partment that General Chaffee has sufncient
troops to make an active campaign.

THEY TURN DOWN THE OFFER
Gates Faction % Colorado Feel and
Iron Company would settle, but
OsEoOd Men Refuse.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 1.-Two important
features today Of the fight for control OF
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company were
the rejection by the osgood faction Of a
profer OF compromise from the Gates fac
ton and the filing OF the answer to the
Gates suit for an Injunction against the
officers in the federal court.
A meeting OF the board Of directors was to
have been held today, but no quorum was
present, as all but two of the directors
who are supporting John C.. Oskood in his
efforts to retain control remained away.
John W.. Gates requested J. A.. Kebler,
president Of the company, in whose ONCE
the directors favorable to Gates had as
sembled, to 20 to the once OF Mr.. Osgood.
who is chairman Of the board Of directors.
and ask him to attend the meeting, in order
that a compromise might be discussed.
Mr.. Osgood refused to accept the invitation
and said that he would not listen to any
compromise. Mr.. Gates seemed to be net
tied at the turn affairs had taken, and
stated later that he would continue the
fight indefinitely and was sure to gain con-
troll.
The answer filed in the federal court de-
MES that the court has jur,ediction, aileg-
ing that the sum involved IL less than
$4,000. and declares that the suit was i'm
properly brought.
1t alleges that in the demands made by
the different persons to see the books Of
the company no proper evidence was in
troduced to show that they were the real
owners Of the stock which they purposed
to hold. II states that no book had been
prepared showing the names Of persons
who hold the stock but that the secretary
was instructed at a recent meeting to
prepare such a book and that he is doing
so with all possible speed. The answer
alleges that Gates does not hold the num-
Der Of proxies that he claims to hold, and
that osgood has a majority of the votes.
In an afidavit Mr.. osgood states that he
has been asked by John W. Gates, Charles
M. Schwab and others to dispose Of the
company to the steel trust and that the
efforts to depose him followed his refusal.
Judge Riner announced that he would
limit arguments for each side to four hours.
Joel F. Vaile made the opening speech for
the plaintiffs, and he will be followed to-
morrow by F. M. w. cutcheon Of, New

POLICE HAVE A NEW CLUE
May Seen Be Able to Solve Bartholin
Mystery at Chicago
FRIEND OF ACCUSED MAN IN CUSTODY
Edward COunselman Held NJ an Ae-
cessOry After the Fact and
IL 60 BE Put Through the
Sweating Process.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.-Developments today
IN the Bartholin- Mitchell murder mystery
have led the police to believe they are
nearer the solution OF the problem that has
been p~uzzling them for over a week than
ever before.
Edward Counselman, the intimate friend
Of william J. Bartholin who was held for
possible knowledge OF the crime, was taken
before Justice Quinn today and held for
ten days in bonds Of $40, 900. charged with
being accessory after the fact in the MUIR
ders of Minnie Mitchell and Mrs. Anne
Bartholin. Counselman admitted he had
met Bartholin and hat Bartholin said he
was in trouble over Minnie Mitchell.
The most damaging testimony as to Coun-
selman's possible guilty knowledge OF the
murders OF the two women came from a
new witness whom the police found today
W. NJ. Allen, a fellow workman Of Coun-
selman's. Allen said that Counselman had
told him repeatedly that he knew a great
deal about the trouble Bartholin was in.
When Allen suggested that Counselman
tell the police what he knew the latter
said he would do no such thing, that Bar
tholin was his friend and that he was too
shrewd for the police. Allen said that
Counselman even expressed the opinion that
Bartholin had easily had time to reach the
seaboard.
Allen said that Counselman expressed the
greatest anxiety over the case as It devel-
oped in the newspapers and that frequently
Counselman would walk from the suburb OF
Harvey, where the two men worked, as far
as Kensington, to secure the papers. For
three days Counselman did not do any
work because Of nervousness. The police
have the testimony OF another witness, who
is positive he saw Counselman and Bartholin
together on August Z. the day the body Of
Minnie Mitchell was found.
1t is the purpose OF the police to put
Counselman through the sweating ordeal
today, and they say they expect valuable
results. Counselman's wife begged him
repeatedly to tell the police what he knew,
but so far Counselman has been obdurate.
A note from Bartholin to Counselman asking
for money and saying that the writer was
In trouble is held by the police. II was
this note which Counselman had tried to
secure from his wife by choking her that
led to his arrest.
The postponed inquest over the body Of
Minnie Mitchell will be resumed today.
1t is probable that a verdict will be re-
turned with recommendations that the men
now in custody be held to the grand Jury.
