gy Man to Europe.
Paris. Sept. IA wave of agita-
ton against the yellow peril has re-
suited here from Japanese recent re-
markable display of force. This ap-
prehension is shared to a considera-
BILE extent in official circles, where it
was suggested today that the danger
might compel the European powers to
consider the necessity of effecting a
coalition of self defense against the
peril. The newspapers and political
leaders also emphasize the growth of
the peril. Henry Rochfort says that
it behooves Europe to take warning
in time. He asserts that France will
be one of the first to suffer through
Japanese designs ON Indo-China.

Between Great Lakes and the Rocky
Mountains Business Is ParaIyzed
by Furious Winds and SnoW---Rdil-
road and Street Car Traffic Is De-
Iayed or Suspended, and People
Are Blown Off Their Feet and In
jured in Wild Day in Chicago

here the storm was still raging with
great violence and was expected to
continue throughout the night, the
center of the storm being apparently
between Chicago and Cleveland.
Snow Drifts Badly
Reports from Kansas City were that
the storm extended from the middle of
Missouri as far south as Indian terri
tory and was accompanied throughout
it's entire extent by high winds and
snow which on the level would have
been about one foot in depth. 1t was
drifted so badly by the gale, however,
that in nearly all the cities of Nebras-
ka, Kansas and western Missouri street
car traffic was at a standstill by noon.
The telegraph wires were down in all
directions and it was with extreme
difficulty that communication with the
West and Northwest was kept up. All
trains throughout that part of the
country were hopelessly behind their
schedule early in the afternoon and
the railroads gave up all idea of at
tempting to get them through on time
and devoted all their energy to get
ting them through in the best manner
possible.
The storm had reached eastern Mis-
souri, by noon ard the temperature in
ST. Louis went down 20 degrees in two
hours, while the wind, blowing at
forty miles an hour, piled the snow up
in the streets in great drifts. 1t was
found impossible to keep the street cars
running. although great havoc was
made with telegraph and telephone
wires.
At Omaha and Des Moines conditions
similar to those in Kansas City were
reported and both places were in bad
condition early in the morning. BY
noon most of the down town electric
light circuits in Omaha were out of
business and the outlaying districts
were without lights. All through
western Iowa the fury of the storm in
creased in violence through the MORN
ing and at noon was raging with great
fury All trains in this section were
reported from one to six hours late

MAYOR IS INDICTED
DR.. Davis, of Albany, Or, Ac-
cused of Land Frauds

PORTLAND, Or Dec. 27.-The
federal grand jury today returned
seven indictments in connection with
the land frauds cases now under in
Vestigation. The large number and the
prominence of three of the number
with the two mysterious John Doe"
indictments make the day the most
sensational since the jury reconvened
In its present session.
The most important is the indiet-
ment against Dr. William H. Davis,
mayor of Albany, Or. Second to this
and of hardly less Importance are those
of Salomon B. Ormsby, formerly a
government agent, and Clark E.
Loomis, at one time forest ssuperin-
tendent. Henry NJ. Young. and George
Sorenson are not so well known. The
Indictment states there are two others.
John Doe and Richard Roe impli-
Gated, whose true names the jury does
not know. 1t will be recalled that two
mysterious personages figured prom
inently in the indictment returned
against State Senator Franklin P.
Mays last week.
The charge in the indictment re-
turned today is that the indicted men
entered in conspiracy on Jan 80, 1901,
having as their object the defrauding
of the government out of a portion of
Its public lands by false and forged
locations, false and forged affidavits
and proof of homestead entry and
settlement 1t is charged that in
furtheranee of the conspiracy, Will
liam H. Davis swore to an affidavit be-
fore S. B. Qrmsby in which he said
he had resided upon the claim taken
by him as by law required and that the
conspiracy was a part of the one en-
tered into by S. A D. Puter, Horace
G. Mckinley; H. D. Tarpley and Emma
T. Watson.
In the Indictment just returned w.
H. Davis, mayor of Albany and chair
man of the Republican committee of
Linn county, Is the central figure. Mr..
Ormsby and Lewis, Sorenson and
Young have all been before the public
from the opening of fhe land fraud
trials, several weeks ago, but Davis had
not been connected with the case until
the latter part of the week just passed.

FORTUNE SEEKS HIM
Man Travels West Ignorant of
His inheritance

Special to The Globe
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Dec. 27.-While
young Charles Barney and his wife
are making their way westward with
a covered wagon and two-horse
team. competence is waiting them at
Elk River in the shape of 200-acre
farm. fully stocked, left Barney by a
distant relative who died recently.
Mrs. Dobbins. young Barney's aunt. is
making every effort to find the young
couple and inform them of their in
heritance.
Barney was married recently, and
believing that a young man has bet
ter chance to get along in the West,
sold all his belongings excepting a
team and wagon and started out over
land. He had not been gone long
when the farm was left to him, but
he and his wife are plodding on, un-
mindful of their good fortune, and in
the meantime every police department
and sheriff's Office between Elk River
and the Pacific coast is looking for
young man and his wife and cover
ed wagon.
Barney left saying he would never
return until he was independent, and
it is believed that his pride will pre-
vent him from communicating any i'll
fortune to his friends or relatives
here. He has friends in st. Cloud and
the chief of police has been asked to
look them up and see if Barney and
his wife stopped here. The chief can
not find that they did and is unable to
give Mrs. Dobbins any assistance. In
the meantime the other heirs of the
dead man are talking of going into
court to secure possession of the farm.

Sustains Contention of Preju-
dice Against Sheriff First
Day of Murder Trial
Snecial to the Globe

Special to the Globe
NEW ULM, Mimi, Dec. 27.-At the
very beginning of the trial today of
DIR. George r. Koch, charged with the
murder of DR.. L. A. Gebhard, the de-
fense sprung a sensation in the form
of an affidavit of prejudice against.
Sheriff julius, the contention being up
held by Judge B. F. Webber.
With two jurors in the box out of
twenty-six of the veniremen examined,
facing it, and with the necessity of
summoning an additional venire of 130
men, the defense filed an affidavit
with the court charging prejudice on
the part of Sheriff julius through w.
D. Abbott, of counsel for the defense.
The point was argued and the court
ruled that the point made by the de-
fense that Sheriff julius had shown
undue prejudice in taking the imprints
of the fingers of DR.. Koch was well
taken, and that Coroner L. A. Fritsche,
of New Ulm, shall serve the sub
poenas for the additional jurymen de-
sired.
This ruling Of the court proved to
be pleasing to the defense. 1t takes
out of the hands of Sheriff julius the
selection of the veniremen to be sum-
moned and places the work in charge

GIVES CHARGES IN
BISHOP TALBOT CASE
Criminal Libel, False State
ments and Breach of Vows
Are Alleged

=
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-In' a state
ment tonight Herbert Noble, a lawyer
of this city, representing the presenters
in the charges recently made against
Bishop Talbot, of the Central diocese
of the Episcopal church, in Pennsyl
vania, outlined what-those who will ap-
pear against the bishop will take up.
His statement says that the present.
ment has its foundation in a letter said
to have been written by Bishop Talbot
to Rev. Samuel Upjohn when the latter
was president of the Philadelphia Cath
olic club in 1902.
1.-The presentment is based on this
letter." said Mr.. Noble. "It is in the
hands of Rev. w. B. Bodine, D. D., of
Philadelphia. 1t charged Bishop Tai
bot with a criminal libel immortality
Ito wit: false Statements; the cir
culatien of a false, malicious and de-
famatory report falsifying;;' breach
of ordination and conservation vows,
and conduct unbecoming bishop"
These charges, said Mr.. Noble to-
night, are the headings of the allega-
tions made in the presentment. He
added that he had communicated with
Dr. Bodine and would call on him
Thursday or Friday in Philadelphia for
consultation as to the method of pro-
cedure in the hearing of the charges

WAS STOCK WASHED
Mining Company Official Won't
Answer Questions

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Quincy W.
Bosee, a lawyer and secretary treas
urer of the Montreal & Boston and
Smelling company, refused to answer
questions in the Munroe & Munroe
bankruptcy hearing today before Unit
ed States Commissioner Alexander, and
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the re-
ceiver, asked that Bosee be committed.
Mr.. Bosee pleaded an attorneys privi-
lege in refusing to tell how he had dis
bursed $4,000 in connection with the
affairs of Munroe & Munroe. He re-
repeatedly refused to answer even aft
er Commissioner Alexander directed
him to do so and the matter will be
submitted to Judge Holt.
In his testimony Mr.. Bosee expressed
the opinion that Munroe & Munroe
washed stock of the Boston Mining
and Smelling company, but heard that
prior to the failure of the brokerage
firm he had no knowledge of the
washing" The witness said that he
was satisfied that according to the
definition given by Mr.. Untermyer,
counsel for the creditors, the Montreal
& Boston stock had been washed"
He himself had purchased $4,000 shares
of the stock between Nov. i and Dec.
10. This stock he periodically turned
back to Munroe & Munroe.
Mr.. Bosee said his idea was that he
was to buy the stock and support it in
case it should be offered by some one
at a figure below the prevailing market
quotations. He did not at that time,
nor did he now, understand that he had
assisted in washing stock. He said
that Norton and Wieher had handled
some of his company,s stock in the
same manner as Munroe & Munroe.
In answer to Mr.. Untermyer the wit
ness in detail told of the stock he had
purchased and resold.
But the price was advanced through
the efforts of Munroe & Munroe's
wash ?" suggested Mr.. Untermyer.
mo, I think the merits of the prop
critics had great deal to do with it,
replied Mr.. Bosee; a new furnace was
put in and the mine became a paying
enterprise. This, 1 think, was princi-
palIy responsible for the advance Of
the price to its final market price"
Mr.. Bosee said that after the failure
of Munroe & Munroe the syndicate
had sold 2S.00e shares of stock for 81 a
share.

Papers in what may become the most
important suit ever commenced in ST.
Paul were filed in the United States
circuit court for the district of Mime
sofa yesterday.
The United States, proceeding under
the provisions of the Sherman anti
trust law, has begun an action to re-
strain the so-eailed paper trust from
continuing to perform the functions for
which it was organized in 1900.
The General Paper company, of Chi
cago, and twenty four paper manu-
featuring companies of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan, with the
Manufacturers Paper company, of
New York, said to fill in the eastern
field the same position as that oc-
cupied by the General Paper COM
pany in the states west of the Missis-
sippi, are alleged to form a gigantic
combination that has joined in an
illegal conspiracy in restraint of trade.
1t is alleged that the General Paper
company has become the exclusive
selling agent of the paper manufactur-
ing companies that it restricts the out
put of the mills, regulates the sales
both as to quantities and prices; that
all competition has been destroyed IN
the Western states through it's instru-
mentality, and that through loss of
competition the selling price of the
product of the mills has steadily in
creased until the price of news print
paper is now about so per cent higher
than it was before the combination
was formed.
Petition Is Filed
The United States seeks to dissolve
the combination and an order for serv-
ice of the subpoenas outside the dis
triet of Minnesota was made by Judge
William Lochren. The suit Will pc
brought to trial in st. Paul, though 1t
may not be tried in the circuit court,

Oscar Hallam's right to sit on the
Ramsey county district bench is con-
tested.
Charles w. Gordon, of Gordon & Fer
guson, yesterday filed a petition in the
district court demanding recount of
the votes cast for Oscar Hallam and t.
D. O'Brien for district judge.
Jared How and Charles A. Hart are
attorneys of record in the case, and in
the name of Mr.. Gordon demand re-
count of the ballots, the official return
of which shows that Hallam was elect
ed by fifteen votes. The usual formal
allegations of fraud and error are
made, 1t being claimed that if the votes
are recounted 1t will be found that
O'Brien has a majority.
When questioned last evening Mr..
Gordon said that he represented no or
ganization in his efforts to ascertain
whether the official returns on which
Judge Hallam will be seated were cor
rectly counted. Il represent myself
he declared. But he added that he had
worked hard during the recent cam
paign to secure, So far as possible, a
non-partisan judiciary. He did not
feel convinced tnat MI. " Obfleh was
really defeated.
"As 1 understand it, Mr.. How said
yesterday, "the only interest that Mr..
Gordon represents is that of the large
body of voters who would like to see
Mr.. O'Brien win in the contest, so as
to carry out to that extent, the prin-
ciple of bipartisan judiciary. The
petitioner does not stand for any po-
liticaI body, or any formal organiza-
tion of voters. But, like number of
other men, he did do his best for Mr..

because he was in sympathy with the

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-One of the Sc
verest storms of recent years has
ragged throughout the territory lying
between the Rocky mountains and the
great lakes since early this morning
and has caused much trouble to street
car. companies, railroads and telegraph
companies.
The latter were the greatest suffer-
ers, for the blizzard which swept
through the West and Northwest dur
ing the last twenty-four hours was
preceded by a heavy fog and drizzling
rain, which made the wires almost un-
workable. The intense cold and ter
rife gale that followed close upon the
fog coated the wires with ice and
later in the day threw thousands of
poles to the ground, Gripping the
companies badly.
Railroad trains were badly delayed
all through the West, some of them
being twenty-six hours late. Street
car traffic in all the cities of the West
and Northwest was practically at a
Etandstill at some time during the day.
Most Extensive for Years
In its extent the storm was the most
widespread of any during the last
fifteen years. Counting the fog as a
component part Of the storm, it
stretched clear from the Rocky noun
tains to New York and from Winni :
peg to New Orleans Three fatalities
were reported as due to the storm, one
in Indiana and two in this city. Alex
ander Steiner, a teamster, was killed
here while unloading coal. A coal
chute was blown from its fastenings
and struck him on the head.
Thomas Walsh, a laborer, was
struck by a heavy board while enter
ing new building at Green street
and Washington boulevard. The board
cut his head nearly off.
At 10 o'clock tonight the storm was
reported as subsiding at Kansas City
and at other points on a north and
south line from that city, but it will
be several days before normal condi-
tions are restored throughout the en-
tire sections. AT Chicago and east of

OSCAR HALLAM'S RIGHT TO SEAT
ON DISTRICT BENCH IS CONTESTED
Votes for
and MadeDemand
Attempt Garry Nonpatisan judiciary Principles

in so far that it will be recited that IL
the votes are recounted it will be found
that he is elected.
Otherwise the case will proceed along
the lines of other contests, and after
the prelimfnaries have been complied
with and the bond for costs given the
referees will proceed to open the bal
lot boxes now in possession of the city
clerk and county auditor and make a
complete recount of all the ballots cast
for district judge, scoring the votes for
the four candidates. There is, how
ever, no contest except so far as Hal
lam and O'Brien are concerned.
Shortly before the announcement of
the official vote by the county can
vassing board, and after he had filed
notice of contest, Mr.. O'Brien accept
ed an appointment as insurance COM
missioner of the state. Coineident with
his acceptance of this place Mr..
O'Brien announced his withdrawaI-fron
the contest with Mr.. Hallam.
Persons interested in the maintenance
of a non partisan judiciary took up the
within the few days that have elapsed
since the announcement of the result
by the state canvassing board the no
tiee of contest is filed. Many of the
persons interested in the demand take
the position that if it should be found
that O'Brien was elected to the posi-
ton Gov. Johnson will be entitled to
name his successor, thus making the
Ramsey county bench consist of two
Democrats and four Republicans, in
stead of five Republicans and one DEM
ocrat.
Mr.. Hallam will take the seat and
retain it until there is a decision of
the court, if it should be against him.
