Independent Companies at Beau mont, Tex, Declare They
 Have Been Ruined.
WELLS HAVE BEEN FLOODED
 WITH A BRiNY C0NC0CTI0N.
As Fast As Company Went to the Wall, It is Alleged, It's Property Was Bought In By the Standard Oil oo.-An rnvestisa'4on in Prog ress

St Louis, Sept. S.-A special to the St Louis Republic from Dallas, Tex, says:
 The Fort Worth Telegram of Sunday prints a Tost startling story concern ing the Beaumont oil field. It states that it9informant is one of the most promiTent men of Fort Worth, just re- turned from Beaumont
 This man declares that the Standard O4T Go. has caused the ruin of many of tHe smalled companies by injecting Salt water in their wells, thus running the oils.
 Recently some of the leading men of the wrecked companies determined to investigate, and in two days time they raised $27,0 ,000 with which to push the work. The developments, it is de- clared, are simply astounding. It has been ascertained that the numerous oil wells which were apparently ruined by salt water were put in their condition by conspirators.
 As fast as company went to the wall its property was bought in by the Standard.
 The Standard Oil Go. long ago built pipe line from Beaumont to the gulf of Mexico. A pumping station was erected at Beaumont and another at the gulf. Oil was pumped through the pipe line to the gulf, and then shipped to various parts of the world Sudden ly many wells of independent compa- nies had salt water in them.
 The ruin of the owners is part of the history of the field. One day not long ago one of the pumping stations got out of working order, and oil pumping to the gulf had to be suspended while repairs were being made.
 Suddenly wells that had been given out fully one-half salt water began moving nothing but good fuel oil. That put the investigation on foot
 The investigators secretly, at night, plugged up the pipe line at the Beau mont end. They drove several miles into the country, dug into the ground over the pipe line, made tapping in- to the line, and salf water gushed into the air nearly 100 feet
 It is claimed that the pressue was from the gulf pumping station, and that salt water was being pumped to Beaumont and into the wells that the consprators desired to wreck; that there was no pressure from the Beau mont end, because of the plugging of the pipe.
 The informant of the Telegram de- clares that force of detectives is at work on the case.

A HOTBED OF ANARCHY.
The Vicinity of Barre, Vermont, Now The Headquarters of Anar-
 chist Circles.

Washington, Sept. 8.-The governor of the state of Vermont has been asked, indirectly, to look after a lot of anarchists who are located in the vii cinity of Barre, in his state. The sug- gestion comes from no other source than the second assistant secretary of state, Mir. Adee.
 It appears that few morning ago MT. Adee went into the library of the department, where daily and weekly papers from all parts of the country are received. He carelessly picked up a bundle of these and carried them to his office. There he glanced through them, with view to learning the drift of sentiment in all parts of the coun- try. He was startled at the expressions discovered in publication of Barre, Vt, and his surprise was increased the more he read of it. He concluded that it was an out-and-out anarchist publi cation, and, as such, it ought to be suppressed, if possible. He has strong convictions on the pen teachings of op- position to law and to government. He addressed brief note to the governor of the state, calling attention to the publication and its character.
 MT. Adee denies that he urged or even suggested that steps be taken to suppress the publication, as he doe not wish to be placed in the position of giving advice to the executive officer of state. It is understood that the vicinity of Barre is now the headquar- which formerly made their headquar- ters at Paterson, N. J.

WANTS. TO HONOR ISELIN.
Commodore TiIford Wants to Recog-

Greenwich, Conn, Sept s-In view of the published report of MT. c. Oliver Iselins retirement from further inter national cup races, Commodore Frank Tilford of the Indian Harbor Yacht club thinks it appropriate that some public recognition should be made of his very successful efforts in defense of the Americas cup, not only during the late contest, but on many former occasions as well.
 Mir Iselin has contributed his time and great ability as a yachtsman at great cost and personal inconvenience, and Commodore Tilford has no doubt that the various yacht clubs and lovers of the sport and the public will be only too glad to cooperate in showing him in some manner the appreciation of his talents and service.

United States Government On the One Hand and the Amalgamated
 Copper Go. On the Other.
RESTITUTION IS SOUGHT FOR
 BIG TIMBER DEPREDATIONS.
The Case Has Once Been Dismissed. Hut the Action Now Taken is to Have It Reinstated Without Preju- dice to the Status of the Prosecu- ton.

Washington, Sept 8.-A legal battle of truly gigantic proportions, and one on which the attention of the entire northwest is centered, is now waging between the United States government on the one hand and the Amalgamated Copper Co.,, of Montana, on the other.
 Suit recently was begun by the de- partment>of justice to force this con- pany, which is built upon the Daly in terests, to disgorge $2,000,000 alleged to have been realized out of timber depredations of vast extent in western Montana
 Technically the suit was dismissed, but preparations have been made for it's reinstatement without prejudice to the status of the prosecution.
 Hundreds of square miles of vaIua- ble timber land are alleged to have been devastated. In all the long list of depredations committed by timber thieves against the government, none has compared with these, if the charges made in the bill of complaint filed by the government are true.
 For years the denuding of the gov ernment property went on, and not un- til recently did it seem possible to bring those responsible to account.
 While the interior department has turned the matter over to the depart ment of justice, the officials of the former department are still in close touch with the case, and they say the progress the department of justice is making is satisfactory.
 The suit against the Amalgamated Copper interests is not the only one of this kind in which the government is interested in Montana. There is also an action pending against Senator w. A. Clark, the Montana millionaire, and William Cobban, who are accused of fraudulent entry on large tracts of timber land.

Cadets at the Military Academy May
 Smoke Pipes.
The Opinion Has Prevailed That the Open Pipe is Less Harmful
 Than the Secret Cigarette.

West Point, N. Y, Sept. S.-An order cadets are permitted to use tobacco during relief from quarters" within the barrack limits. It was also an- nounced that cadets would be permit ted to buy tobacco and pipes from the post store. The order came as a com plete surprise to everybody at the academy except Col. Mills, the com mandant It was the result of a rec ommendation made by Col. Mills to the secretary of war month or more ago. It went into effect on Saturday.
 For 23 years no restriction upon the freedom of the cadets has been more irksome than the prohibition of the use of tobacco. It was impossible to en- force the rule. Smoking on the sly has been the practice of almost every cadet in the academy throughout his course Most of the smoking has been cigarette smoking. The penalty for be- ing caught smoking cigarettes or any other form of tobacco has varied with the superintendents of the academy. Under Col Mills the penalty has been six extra hours of duty. He also re- ceived from five to seven demerits on his record.
 It was the opinion of the superin- tendent and of other members of the faculty that 8 good deal less harm would come from the free use of tobac- co in pipes than from the secret use of

New York, Sept. Spying, as he had lived, a mystery to the denizens of Mulberry Bend, and Chinatown, Jimmie, the Bum," who gave his name to the police a few days ago as James Murray, but who is believed by his closest cronies to have been the -scapegrace son of former judge of the supreme court who once lived in Brooklyn, will be buried Tuesday afternoon by those among whom he hved.
 It is not their contributions alone which will pay the expenses of his funeral. AS his body lay in a casket in a Mulberry street undertaking shop the past of Jimmie, the Bum was wrapped still further in mystery, when two well dressed women, heavily yelled, who declined to give any names or addresses, joined the mourners and when they left dropped two bank notes into the battered cup which stood at the head of the casket. No one could be found who knew Jimmie" by any other name, although for dozen years he has spent his life within a space of two or three blocks.
