Secretary Loeb, advised by the presi-

Henry y. Brown was .arrafgned in
the district court this morning on an,
Indictment charging him with Offering
a $500 bride TO Alderman F. M. Pow
ers. e
He pleaded not guilty, with the
privilege of demurring before next
Tuesday, and was released on $3,5 800
bail, supplied by F. C. Barrows and
Joseph F.sBrown.
The indictment was the first re-
turned as the result of the grand jury's
municipal investigation while c.. A..
gQu1st was foreman, but the arraign-
nent has been delayed by Mr.. Brown s
absence from the city. The charge is
based on the circumstances alleged to
have attended the letting of fire hose
contracts last summer, when & Mr..
Brown was trying to sell the city the
Live Oak brand of hose made by the
Bowers Rubber company OF San Fran
cisco. At that time Alderman Powers
charged that he had been approached
but was unable to produce convincing
proof.
The fire hose contracts have caused
comment for several years, the fire
department authorities insisting that
they had had disastrous experiences
with the Live Oak hose and the al
dermen as regularly buying it.
Witnesses whose names appear on
the indictment are Aldermen o.. p
Sutherland, .. P. Jones. F. M. Powers
and John Ryan, also F. w. Root and
w. L. Harris.
Mr. Browns prominence in Mime
apolis will make the case an interest
ing one. ~ VII

New York, Oct. 26.--Guarded so
closely that not even the police knew
of the case, Corona Ricardo, an act
ress. with a bullet wound an inch
above her heart, lies critically Ill at
her home in this city. She was shot
late Friday afternoon and the expla-
nation made last night was that the
bullet must have been fired by mys-
terious stranger who had followed her
home. from the theater repeatedly, or
that she was hit by a stray shot from
a. street brawl. -: w.. F..
All she knows, it is declared, was
that she had approached an open win
dow and was peering out thru the
dusk and rain, when, from one Of two
men talking at a fence, had come the
flash of a pistol, followed by uncon-
seriousness.
From statements made by Miss Ricardo
when she was last In Minneapolis, 1t may
be that the shooting is the work Of ennis
saries Of some Italian secret society sim
liar to- If not, the Malta itself.
Corona Ricardo Is an Italian. In some
way which she has never explained she
incurred the enmity of powerful interests
which drove her to this country. Even
here however she did not feel safe, and
made it her invariable practice to carry
stiletto wherever she went.
At the West hotel one afternoon she
showed this weapon to Journal man
and told him that she feared she might
have occasion to use it some day, adding
that she would know how should the ne
cessity arise. T" g.. .-.,'

Washington, Oct 26.-Rear Admiral
Bowles chief of the bureau OF con-
struction and repair, in his annual re-
port to the secretary of the navy, re-
views the progress made by THIS GOV
eminent in naval construction. 1t IS
shown that the following additions
have been made to the effective force
of the navy during the year:
One battleship, four monitors, twelve
torpedo boat destroyers, one torpedo
boat and seven submarine torpedo
boats.
The list should have been increased
by two battleships and five cruisers,
but owing to strikes and other causes,
their completion was delayed. The
report states that the rate of prog
res sof vessels under construction at
the present time presents some very
encouraging indications for completion
of many Of the most important con-
tracts but, considered as a whole, the
progress made during the last fiscal
year has been very unsatisfactory"

Butte, Mont, Oct. 26.-F. Augustus
Heinze to-day made an interesting
statement giving his version or tne
celebrated controversy with the Anal
gamated Copper company and the
schemes, for the settlement OF the
trouble which has now brought the
state of Montana face to face with an
industrial crisis. His statement was
made upon the disappearance OF Johh
MacGinniss, who, it Is alleged, fled from
Butte to avoid meeting commlttee OF
buy his stock in the Boston and Mon
tana company and thus end the l1uea-
ton with the Amalgamated copper
company. ;,
A feature Of the statement Is MI.
Heinze's assertion that MacIihhiss
about a year ago was offered twice as
much for his 100 shares in the Boston
and Montana as the sum proffered by
the miners union, the $500 share,
offered by the miners, according
to unuuestionable authority, is ap-
proximately five times the price the
stock can command at the present
time. Mr.. Heinze says:
More Roasting of Rogers.
1.-THE history of the United States has
not furnished parallel of the occur
rences of the past forty eight hours IN
Butte, Mr.. Rogers OF the Standard
Oil company is quoted in dispatches as
saying this will be fight to a finish
and there will be no compromise:
Mr. Rogers himself has been engaged
in a bitter struggle for years past, as
every one knows. No statement with
reference to myself and friends has
been too malignant for him to father.
He has at various times interested
with him in the controversy pretty

times prophesied my immediate i'm

some further investigation of alleged

is hardly probable, however, that fur
ther indictments along this line will
be returned this term owing to lack
Of time and the absence of important
witnesses. The grand jury report will

It will review the progress made in

doubtedly contain some sensational
