GENIUS IN THE BUCKETSHOP.
New York Operator Got Onto II Fast
Wire and 1t Brought Him

ut takes two wide open eyes to keep
the sharps from eating you up in this
business nowadays" said the bucket
shop man, relates the New York Sun.
"Only yesterday | stopped a gap that
was costing NE money every day we had
any activity in the market
You see, our Rochester office gets its
quotations by a direct wire from New
York, while our Buffalo Office is on a
circuit of New York Chicago wire, and
is about two minutes slower. We have
a direct wire from the Rochester office
to the Buffalo office, as well as lOng-dis-
tance phone connection.
THE operator in the Rochester office
got wise that his wire was two minutes
faster than the Buffalo ticker and got TO
trading with the Buffalo Office over the
direct wire whenever movement of a
stock was enough to give him margin
the best Of it. This puzzled us for
a while, for Rochester was taking all the
profit out of our Buffalo sheets"
Suppose you fired the Rochester o.
erator?" remarked the listener
Not at all, said the bucketshop man.
II brought him down and installed him
in the Office here. Rochester is too small
a town for the operation of such genius"

LAND FRAUDS.
PrOminen OficiaIs are Indicted by
Grand Jury.

Washington, Feb. l9.-As result of
the investigation Of the alleged whole
sale public land frauds in the western
states, the grand jury of the District of
Columbia today reported Joint indict-
ment of conspiracy against John A..
Benson and Frederick A. HYDE of San
Francisco, Henry G. Di mond, of Cali
fornia, an attorney representing Ben
son and Hyde, and Joost Fl Schneider,
of Tucson. Ariz an agent of Benson
and Hyde. Bench warrants were i'm
mediately issued and Schneider was ar
rested in this city late this afternoon by
Secret Service Agent William j Burns.
Schneider's bal was fixed at $40,
Benson, who had already been indicted
here on the charge of bribery, is now
believed to be in New York, while
Hyde Is thought to be in San Francisco.
The indictment is voluminous doc
ument, and sets forth number of trans
actions bv which land, it ia alleged, has
been fraudulentlv acquired from the
government in California, Oregon,
Washington, Nevada and elsewhere.
Most of these transactions are alleged to
have ocurred under the lieu land law.
The scheme outlined in heindictment
and alleged to have been practiced in
these transactions was to obtain school
or other lands by applications, assign
ments and purchases in names of fic.
titous person or persons not really de-
string or qualified to purchase them.
HYDE and Benson paving them small
sums for the land. The indictment
charges them with making false reports
in all these transactions.
In pursuance of this alleged conspir-
acy thus carried through by dummy ap-
plicants, certain unsurveyed tracts in
the Oily ympla, Wash, land district, con-
tanning 3400 acres, were secured in the
name of G.. W. Clarke, Frederick A.
Hyde, and John A. Benson, other lands
specifically cited as secured including
large tracts in the Vancouver land
district in Washington and the Cascade
range forest reserve in Oregon.
The arrest of other parties indicted is |
expected to follow. The action taken
dlsposes of all the land fraud cases thus
far presented to the local grand jury,
but others may be submitted at any
time. Similar proceedings are expect
ed in other Jurisdictions.

PrOf. w. W. WattS, the English geOlO-
gist, strongly advocates new geological
survey of England, which shall co as
much to make known the subttrrapean
world there as existing surveys have
done to make known that which lies on
the near surface. This demand grows
out of the ever-recurring question Of
the approaching exhaustion of the Brit
ish coal-fields. Prof. Watts says that
here is still an area of concealed coal
fields left, possibly at least as large and
productive as those already explored
but to develop them work will have to
be done at depth of thousands instead
Of hundreds of feet. The first step must
be systematic and detailed exploration
Of these invisible fields under the guild
ance OF scientific principles.
