exports from Bordeaux was $437,225;

around the greenhouses, during the

quarter Of an inch every time Mr..
Vallejo went to dinner.
The seeds from which they grew
were obtained from California and are
the second generation of seed from

are edible and the object Of the ex-

this part Of the country, as they will
grow outside as we'll as under glass.
In South America they grow wild and
on account Of the great length they at
tain are known as yard beans"
Mr.. Vallejo was sent to the univer-
sity four years ago by the Argentine
Republic for the purpose Of studying
advanced horticulture. After being
graduated this year, he will return
home with his American wife and con-
tinue his work at the government ex-
pertinent station at Buenor Aires. He
did his thesis work this year on the
subject Of beans and had q whole
greenhouse devoted to their culture.
His experiments were in forcing green
pod and wax beans on a commercial
scale. He was successful and obtain
ed much new information on the SUBJ
ject. The time is coming, he thinks,
when the growing of beans in hot
houses will be a paying industry. A
crop will mature in six weeks and
sell for 20 cents a pound at wholesale
during the winter months.

Butte. Mont, June 4.-The sensa-
tional cases wherein w. D. Clark, a
county commissioner, and Daniel
Brown, assessor, together with sew
eral other county officials, are charged
by the Silver Bow county grand jury
with malfeasance in office, came up
in Judge E. w. Harney's court to-day.
The hearing was characterized by sew
eral sensational incidents.
Judge Harvey was called to the wit
ness stand, and on objections of At
without a head, Judge Clancy was,
very much against his wishes, called
upon to preside temporarily.
In the proceedings Attorney Yancey
offered to prove that Clark had en-
deavored to intimidate one Of the
grand Jurors by threatening his life
in case he (the commissioner was in
dicted. County Treasurer Maher was
accused by Attorney Kelley Of at
tempting to intimidate one Of the wit
nesses for the defense, Miss Lottie
Smith. This official was not brought
before the court on the accusation,
but Judge Harvey generally cautioned
all persons not to attempt to Interfere
with any Of the witnesses
A strong effort was made in behalf
of Defendant Clark to secure change
Of trial from Judge Harney's court.
The chief ground upon which a change
of venue was asked was that Harvey
would be summoned as witness In
the case, and that If he retained juris-
diction he would be called upon to
pass upon the merits Of his own testi-
mony and to decide what weight and
credence should be placed upon that
testimony. Judge Harvey denied the
motion for change Of venue.
The grand Jury three weeks ago re-
turned over twenty indictments d.
rected against county officials. The
OFFICIALS Indicted belong to the anti
Heinze faction, and it is said the pro-
ceedings are a part Of a political
scheme to discredit the Amalgamated
