NO TICKERS THERE.
President Roosevelt Says There
Are None in White House.

New York, Feb. flames J. Still
mans visit to Washington, where he
took dinner with President Roosevelt,
has set Wall street talking and wonder
ing what was the political significance
of the visit.
It is the general belief in the finan-
cial district that the true meaning is
that the Standard Oil crowd is in favor
of Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination. This
means that the Rockefeller following
has again opposed itself to the policy
and interests of J. P. Morgan, whose
opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt is well
known.
One man. who has been in favor of
Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination, said:
The opposition to President RooSe-
Welt in Wall street, which at first was
general, gradually has grown less. I'M
til now the Morgan following seems 10
be about the only interest really op-
posed to him. This opposition started
with the action of Attorney General
Knox in the Northern Securities case
and was strengthened by Mr.. Roose-
velt's stand in the coal strike.
1T was said that when Mr. Morgan
complained to the president during a
visit to the White House that Mr-knox
posed action in the Northern Securities
case the president replied:
There are no tickers in the White
House
This story was never denied and it is
certain that after that visit to Wash
ington Mr. Morgan's opposition to the
president was increased.
ssThe RoekefelIers see it is impossible
to beat Mr.. Roosevelt. Stillman's triE
is evidence that the Standard Oil party
has made thorough canvass of the
country and knows better than any one
that the next Republican nominee fol
the presidency will be Theodore Roose-
Everywhere on the street Mr.. Still
mans trip was discussed, and every
where 1t was given the same interpreta-
tion-s.the Standard Oil party has gone
over to Roosevelt and has given Morgan

TO SELL BROWN PALACE.
Insurance Company Wins in Suit
Over the Property.

Denver. Col, Feb. flames H. Brown
and his father, Henry c. Brown, have
been defeated in their long and bitter
fight with the New York Life Insurance
company and other creditors of the Jane
E. Brown estate over the right to dis
pose, as they saw fit, of the Brown hotel
and other vast interests belonging to the
estate.
The supreme court today handed down
its decision in the famous case. The de-
cree of the county court, which was in
favor of the Browns, is reversed, the
foreclosure proceedings in reference to
are abrogated and the case remanded
The principal point involved was
whether other property bequeathed by
the will of Jane c. Brown could be sold to
satisfy encumbrances on the Brown Pal
ace hotel. The county court said it could.
The supreme court decides that if en-
cumbrances on the hotel are to be salts
fed they must not be paid off from the
proceeds of the sale of other property.
In brief, the Brown hotel must be sold
to settle its own membranes.
Justice John Campbell rendered the
opinion,

a doubt, become a, very strong candt-

experience in the Third ward.
Mrs McCarter said today: Il am
not a candidate for any office. It is
rather against my principles to have
women in the council. That is place
for men, OF course, I wouldn't object
especially to having a woman IN the
council: there's nothing wrong about
it. But for my part I prefer to be a
king maker than a king
Councilman Wolf has stated that he
would withdraw in case anybody else
satisfactory to him should enter the
race. If he should be the nominee, the
Democrats would run good show OF
beating him by nominating some popu-
lar Republican.
NO OTHER FIGHTS.
At present it looks as though there
would be no opposition to Samuel T
Howe in the Fifth, J. w. F. Hughes IN
the Sixth and L. A. Ryder in the First.
Dr.. Ryder may have a fight in the cleo
ton, for the Democrats say that they
expect to nominate George Young, who
viii be a very strong candidate.
There is not much interest in the COM
ing election. and the vote will be light.
So far the registration is only about

month and a half distant. The only
officers to be nominated are couneilmen,
members of the school board and MEM
bers of the city central committee.

p New York, June 30.-The inquiry
conducted by Coroner Berry and jury
into the General Slocum disaster was
concluded during the day and after
nearly four hours pdeliberation YER
dict was rendered in which the direc-
tors of the Knickerbocker Steamboat
company, the captain Of the Slocum,
Captain Pease, the commander Of the
company's feet, and others were held
criminally responsible. Warrants for
their arrest were issued.
The mate of the Slocum, according
to the jury, acted in cowardly man
ner, and the misconduct of Steamboat
Inspector Lundberg, it was recon-
mended, should be brouch bit to the at
tention of the federal aul lorities. The
charge in each case was manslaughter
in the second degree. Bail was fixel
by the coroner in amounts varying
from $1,000 to $4,000.
Through an agreement between
United States District Attorney Bur-
nett and District Attorney Jerome the
cases of the persons named by the cor
oner's jury as being responsible for the
General Slocum disaster will be pre-
scented to the federal grand jury. Cen
eral Burnet. said the evidence adduced
at the co. oner's inquest would be
placed before the federal body at once
and that he would take personal
charge of the matter.

Missoula. Mont. June 30.-The TAX
ing of testimony in the case of the
United States against Treasurer DAN
lei J. Heyfron of Missoula county to
restrain him from collecting taxes
from alleged wards of the government
living on the FIathead reservation has
begun. T
y The contention of the county in the
case is that the Indians in question
are not members OF the tribes on the
reservation but residents of the county
and therefore subject to taxation. The
United States holds that they are
wards of the government and under
the United States law Indians are not
subject to taxation unless they be-
come citizens. The attempt to impose
taxes on the Indians was the cause of
the recent threat and outbreaks OF
the Flatheads eight months ago. -
