DIVORCE SUIT
Is Filed by Millionaire
Phipps.

Denver, Colo, June 7-Attorney
General Hughes, acting on behalf OF
Lawrence c. Phipps, the Pittsburg
millionaire, has filed suit for divorce
from Genevieve Phipps. The con-
tents of the complaint have not been
made public, an order having been
secured from the court sealing all the
papers in the case. So far as can be
learned no correspondents are named.
The defendants, however, include J.
P. Morgan & Co., the United States
Steel corporation and the United
States Trust company, all of which
concerns are paying Mrs. Phipps div
idends on stock, which 1t is alleged,
was formerly owned by her husband.
He desired to shut off her revenues
unless otherwise ordered by the
court.

Cripple Creek, Col, June Much
excitement prevailed in all parts of the
district today, but no further clashes
between the union and non-union fac
tions Of miners took place. Wild ru-
NOR we're afioat regarding impending
battles and lynchings, but all proved
groundless. The military and civil au-
thorities seem to have the situation
well in hand and announcement has
been made that no violations of law
on the part of the miners will be toll
Grated for one moment.
There are fully 200 men in the bull
pen, including former Sheriff H. M.
Robertson, ex-City Marshal Michael
o'Connell of Victor and City Marshal
Dan Brothers of Denver.
The mine owners and Citizens AL
lance are In continuous session, but
their future plans are not given out.
1t is understood, however, that the
men now in the bull pen will be de-
ported on the special trains soon. The
ukase has gone forth that all western
federationists and their sympathizers
must leave the district forever and
now that the anti-unionists are in
full control, they propose to take full
advantage of their power. Sentiment
is divided regarding the necessity Of
troops. Many insist that soldiers are
necessary and that AL deportations
should be conducted under their pro-
lection. Others maintain that the
civil authorities, with large number
of deputies can cope with any situation
that may arise and are strong enough
to rid the district of strikers and their
friends. The mine owners, assistants
and the Citizens Alliance continued
their policy of forcing the city officials
to resign, and this afternoon Marshal
w. j. Graham was called before the
committee and told his services were
obnoxious and he must quit. When he
demurred. his attention was directed
to rope with moose at one end and
It was intimated that he might be
strung up If he refused to go. He re-
signed and Charles l.. Prowder was
appoint.! in his stead.

CANTONCONTRAC7ORS
Secure Big Sewer Con
tract at Scio, Ohio.

Frank A. Piero and A. r. Turnbull,
Canton contractors, were the success
full bidders for the sanitary sewer
contract at Scio, the college and oil
town In Harrison county. They Sc
cured the contract in the hottest kind
of competition with contractors from
all over the country, there being a
dozen or more bidders. The contract
includes ABOUT 10000 feet of six, eight
and ten-inch pipe, besides manholes,
fusl tanks, ETC., and must be complet-
ed within four months. This will re.
quire the putting to work OF fully $50
men and operations will begin within
ten days.
The contract price will figure up a
little over $4,000 and includes some
deep excavating. These contractors
were able to figure close and secure
the contract for the reason that they
have an elegant equipment and are
up to date In their methods of doing
such work. They are receiving the
congratulations of friends upon their
success.

nix also resign as soon as they re-
turn from the Democratic convention
at Pueblo. Justice of the Peace G. M.
Harrington was notined this afternoon
TO resign and he did so. Other Off
cials are also on the list and may be
called upon to throw up their jobs or
suffer the consequences. All the on
cials told to retire are charged with
being too friendly to organized Ia
Dor. The mine owners, assistants
and the Citizens Alliance will dictate
who the new officials are to be. No
arrests have yet been made in connec-
tion with the dynamite outrage at In
dependence and the authorities are
somewhat at sea.
Bloodhounds took the trail of the
party who fired the mine from the
Delmonico crib and followed it for
several miles toward Colorado Springs
when It was lost. Pieces of the revol-
yer supposed to have been used to dis
charge the Internal machine have been
found among the ruins Of the Inde-
pendence depot platform. Mine own
ers tonight claim to have unearthed
gigantic conspiracy to murder and
blow up mines. Among the other ar
ticles captured during the raid on the
miners union headquarters at Victor
yesterday were a number of photo
graphs of non-union properties and
mines.
Men in these pictures were indicated
by number and when any one of them
was killed his name was endorsed on
the back of a card board as having
died. Fully half a dozen such nota-
tions we're on the photographs and in
each instance the man had been killed
through a mysterious explosion in
some of the mines or found dead. I'm
ion officials vehemently deny that
numbers or notations indicate any
thing wrong and say the photographs
were used simply to better enable
the officers to locate so-called "scabs"
so that they might be traced and pre-
vented from securing employment af-
ter leaving this district.

jUSKY SIREN
WHO CHARMED OVER HALF
A MILLION FROM
MILLIONAIRE PLATT
Arrested and Taken to
Police Station.

New York, June AFTER a week S
siege police detectives just before
midnight tonight broke into the house
of Mrs. Hannah Elias with axes and
arrested the woman whom John r.
Platt charges with having obtained
$685,000 from him by blackmail. Hur-
rted from the bed, the negress was
taken to police headquarters. The
warrant on which the entrance and
arrest we're effected charges the won.
an of many mysteries with extortion
In having obtained $500 from the
old millionaire In May last.
The drastic action by the police
followed prolonged conferences be-
tween Assistant District Attorney
Lord, Magistrate Ommen, John r.
Plat and Lyman G. Warren, counsel
for the old millionaire. The house,
at No 236 Central park, west, was
In darkness when the men got there,
and for fifteen minutes they rang and
knocked, finally hammering on the
outer door with their clubs. Not an
answer came from within, however,
and when Assistant District Attorney
Lord arrived to sec that the warrant
had been executed he ordered the door
to be broken down.
At the first sound of the axe the
silence within the house was broken.
The screams of frightened women
were heard by those who were waiting
in the street, but still no move was
made to admit the officers of the law.
They had to beat in the heavy outer
door and break the glass of the doors
within before they could make their
way into the citadel which the ne.
gress has guarded SO long.
The woman will be formally arraign-
ed tomorrow morning on charge of
blackmail.

the good weather continues. In fact
the work may be finished inside of a

All the grading and excavating has

cars will be running to Damascus by
June Is and an effort will be made to
have them into Salem by July 4, but
1t is doubtful IL this can be accom-
plished. The road bed is balasted
to point near Garfield and one of
the large cars made trip to that
point on Saturday morning. The
wires and everything necessary to run
the cars has been completed to Da.
mascus. The ballast for the road is
being obtained at MAYORS crossing
near Garfield.
From present indications the Sa,
lem peoNe will have chance to ride
on the cars in July. The trestle work
has been very slow at the bridge and
this will be cause of the delay.

According to the Japanese CORE.
spondents with the first army in
Manchuria (kuroki's) the active Rus,
sian operations are limited to a Sc.
ries of skirmishes fought by Cos
sacks and mounted infantry, but
which accomplished little else than
to occupy the attention of the Japan
ese outposts. The Russians engaged
number hardly more than six hun
dred men, supported by mountain
battery. Their operations extend
throughout the districts of All Yang
and Saimat and their object is to in
terfere SO much as possible with the
japanese provision trains. Their ef-
forts have proven futile and no dam
age has been done except killing off
a number of Japanese troopers.
The Russian reconnoitering parties
are bold to the point of desperation.
They consist chiefly of a young Off
Ger and handful of men who are will
ing to go to any length to secure in
formation. They will ride boldly
within the Japanese lines and If dis
covered shoot their way out endeav-
oring to do as much damage as pos
sible before being killed or taken pris-
oner.

The Steubenville-Canton Electric
Railway company was incorporated at
Columbus yesterday with capital
stock of $4,000. This is a sum suffi-

which is already in progress and Sc
cure the necessary franchises along
the route.
The incorporators are r. H. Loomis,
H. H. Smith, ]. c. Biggs, Sheridan b.

are capitalists along the route and
promoters, and they have already
taken steps toward securing the
rights of way and franchises.
The worst end of the road to build
will be from Carrollton to Steuben-
vile, as 1t is through a succession of
hills. Some years ago Civil Engineer
r. II. Lee surveyed the route for q

burglarizing the plant of the Miller
Pasteurizing company. The prisoners
were accused Of stealing block tin,

fend the young men, became imbued
with the belief that their clients were
innocent and went to work to prove
1t. The case occupied two days and
was hard fought on both sides.
The jury retired about o'clock
and in an hour had returned a ver-
dict of not guilty. 1t was hard for
the spectators to determine whether
the two prisoners or the attorneys
were the happier The young men
were at once released from custody.

committed suicide. The couple were
spending vacation here, after an en-
gagement in the Grand Theatre Stock
company in Grand street, on the east
side, New York.
Mrs. Finkel is in the Memorial hos
pital In this city and as she has four

covery are slight.

ing with her three children, at the
Greenfield farm. This is resort in
Vailsburg. not far from the junction
Of Vailsburg with Orange and East
Orange, and is a favorite stopping
place for persons in the theatrical pro-
fession.
This evening after the children had
retired, Mr.. and Mrs. Finkel started
out for walk. They had not been
gone long when word reached the
farm that both had been shot.

side him on the ground with four
bullets In her body. Previous to the

known to have quarrelled. The wo-
man remains unconscious and has been
able to give no explanation of the af-
fair. They did not appear to have
been troubled with money affairs as
tiDkel had money and a lot Of jew
elry in his possession, and his wife is
also said to have been well supplied
