They Mere Loaded.

Butte. Mont, Jan. 16.-Lata yesterday
afternoon Judge e. w. Harvey took the
witness stand in the famous disbarment
proceedings brought against a. j..
Shores, leading counsel for the Amal-
gamated Copper Companys vast inter-
ests in this state. 1t vas Judge Harvey
who instituted the disbarmelit proceed
ings. alleging that Shores, together with
CHARLES ". Clark, son of Senator w. A.
Clark. sought with offers of thousands
of dollars to have him confess ne hao
been brihad by f. August He1nze IN
making a favorable decision IN the hti-
cation between the Amalgamateo anu
Heinze over the Minnie Healy, one OIL
the richest mines in Butte.
Judge Harneys testimony was mucn
on the lines OF that given by Jesse %.
Roote, Harney's attorney, the day pre-
ceding. the judge reitarating the ac-
count of repeated efforts of Shores ana
Young Clarl. to persuade him TO accept
$3.50 600 and acknowledge he had been
bribed by Heinze.
Harvey declared that despite the Ell
fort of the two men to convince MN He
had accepted a bride from the Helhze
neople and was felcn and would De
sent to the penitentiary unless ne con-
fessed his wrong, for which confession
Charles w. Clark was to give MN
$3.50. oOO he persistently denied he was
guilty. The argument became SO warm
that the judge declared the young mil
ionaire squared off and wanted TO ilght
him and would have done so had IL not
been for the presence of Attorney
Roote. who separated them.

| mainly due to the confusion caused by
the separating of ears containing In
| dependent coal from those bearing the
company coal.
Notwithstanding the promise made
| by George f. Baer. president OF the
Philadelphia s. Reading Railroad COM
pany, who, as the spokesman of the
coal operators, told Mayor Low that
all the coal yards in the tenement dis
trcts would be supplied with coal for
the poor, there is great suffering IN
New York because thousands are I'M
able to obtain coal.
For this extraordinary tieup of miles
of loaded coal cars within sight of
a famine stricken city two eXplana-
tons are offered, and they are diam
critically conflicting.
Many retailers maintain that this
fuel is being deliberately withheld from
the market thru the cupidity of the
independent operators, who count upon
a month or more of cold weather yet
to come, and are determined to sus-
tain, or even increase, their present
large profits, if possible, by parsimon-
ious supply in the face OF overwhelm-
ing demand.
Railroad officials. sale agents of coal
companies and some of the largest
of the wholesale and retail dealers
deny, or refuse to admit. that any such
conspiracy exists. They explain that
the congestion at tidewater coal ter
minals is the result of overtaxed fa-
cilities for unloading and transferring
the output.

Goebel,

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 16.-Henry
Youtsey was recalled by the f'rahKlih
county grand jury yesterday ana 1ur-
ther examined with reference to the
murder of William Goebel. Prison COM
missioner j. NJ Richardson, who, by
reason of his official position, enjoys
privileges not enjoyed by ordinary
newspaper men, says Youtsey told the
grand jury that it was Jim Howard
who fired the fatal shot. Mr. Richaro-
SON makes this statement in letter 10
the Glasgow Times, of which ne ID Gu
itor. He says in part:
I'm a general way, 1T can be saio 1hae
Youtsey lays bare the secrets OF con-
spiracy to assassinate, reaching from
among the highest officials of the state
down to the actual murderer who puiea
the trigger. Many of those accused
have left the state, verifying their quit
nv their absence. Jim Howard is oe-
ciared to have fired the fatal shot
Mr.. Richardson says he knows the
statement made by Youtsey at the pris-
on. but that, he is not at liberty to give
the details of it. Mr.. Richardson Is also
authority for the Statement that fout-
sew has made a confession and that the
beginning of the end of the legal inves-
tigation into the death of William 1oe-
bel has just begun.

THREW 1T IN THE SEWER.
Fatal Coal Mistake Made by Wash
innton Coiored Workman

mSSOu SSI0tOA
Washington, Jan. 16.-Some of the
people of Washington have their coal
cellars under the sidewalks. On some
Of the streets the sewers run under
the sidewalks also, and both the coal
cellars and the sewers are reached by
manholes in the pavement, which are
covered with iron plates. This ar
rangement has caused an incident
which has amused all Washington. A
certain banker living on Connecticut
avenue, after persistent entreaties,
secured three tons of coal the other day
for which he paid SIS ton. The coal
was delivered according to his orders
and was dumped on the sidewalk in
front Of his house, but colored man,
who was employed to stow it away,
lifted the plate from the wrong man
hole and shoveled all of the coal into
the sewer. The city officials are now
after the banker for obstructing the
sewer, and the banker is after the
coal dealer for more coal. He has en-
ployed several men to get the coal out
Of the sewer, but 1t is a difficult bust
ness They have to send a boy down,
who passes it up in tin cups.

The judge said he had called young
Clark an idiot a thousand times dur
ing the discussion and Clark had tod
him he was a felon and had taken a
bride from Heinze and that every one
knew it, Judge Harvey said he ana
Clark had been drinking UP to point
where, under the circumstances, II was
advisable to drink no more.
Before the close OF bis testimony At
torney Roote declared both Judge Har-
ney and Clark had heavy odds on at
the time of the argument. Roote also
declared he had been under the I'M
preston that Harvey was guilty OF &C
cepting a bride of 100000 from Helnze,
and to Charles w. Clark had conveyed
his belief.
Because of the prominence of the per-
sons involved the developments IN the
case have caused the greatest KIND OIL
sensation in this state. 1t was Judge
Harvey against whom the Amalgamater
filed sensational atfidavits recently re-
flecting upon his character ana lntee-
rity. 1t was alleged that he had been
influenced and bribed thru Ada Brack-
EFT. who was paid by Heinze to make
love to the judge. Alleged love letters
between them and on record IN Har-
news own court tell tale unfit for pup
licatiOn.

COWS ATE SCHOOL HOUSE.
One of the Queerest Educational struc
4ures Ever Erected Near Lincoln.

One of the Queerest Educational Struc.
lures Ever Erected Near Lincoln.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 16.-There are
brick school houses, frame school
houses, sod school houses and metal
school houses in nearly all of the states
Of the central west, but Nebraska is
probably the only state in which is To-
Gated a school house built of baled
straw.
The straw school house is located In
district No. S, of Scots Bluff county
and was erected six years ago. The
building was constructed at a time
when no other building material was
available. The bales of straw are S6xlS
by IA inches. They are laid the same
as bricks and are cemented together
with mud.
The roof of the structure is COM
posed of poles covered with sod. The
floor is of earth. The straw from which
the bales were made was threshed by
the feet of horses.
The building was erected by three
members of the school district in which
it is located and was used as temple
of learning. AT that time the finances
of the school district We're not in the
best of shape and the treasurer did not
require large safe in which to keep
the funds.
The district was plunged into grief
shortly after the dedication by the
breaking loose of herd Of cattle which
ate the corners off the new structure.
The damaged portion of the building
was repaired with material paid for by
popular subscriptions. and after the oc-
currence some one was required to
sleep in the building for time.
With the advent of better times a
new frame structure was erected and
the straw building abndoned. It's di-
lapidated walls still stand. but the roof
has fallen in and the doors and win
iows have disappeared.
