MAN FROM ARIZONA
DRAWS A REVOLVER
Arrested on Charge of Threatening
Life of Copper Company's President.

NEW YORK, April 9.-James w.
GOODMAN, machinist, was arrested
here today charged with making
threats against the life of William G.
Greene, president of the Greene Con-
sol1dated Copper company. Goodman
has been in the city since last Septem-
Der, having given his address as No
gales, Arizona, and been understood to
be here as representative of a mining
company at Sonora, Mex.
The charge Of felonious assault with
Intent to kill was made when Good
man was arraigned in court and he was
held in $4,000 bail for examination on
Monday. 1t was alleged that there
had been some differences between
Greene and Goodman on a mining deal
Goodman met Greene today near
Broadway and Seventy second street
and 1t is charged there threatened to
kill him, but Greene told him to come
down to his office and matters could
there be satisfactorily settled. After
getting in the office, it is charged
Goodman said to Mr.. Greene:
Il want that 100000 that is due me
In that mining deal. I demand a set
Element"
1t is further alleged that Goodman
pulled out a revolver and pointed 1t at
Greene. Mr.. Greene excused himself
leaving Goodman in the room with Mr.
ASOOhOAAA'b
Mr.. Greene notified the police and the
latter arrested Goodman and took two
revolvers from him. President Greene
made formal statement, saying:
1.-THE man (Goodman) was compar-
ative stranger to me. have met him
perhaps eight or ten times during the
last four years. He was at one time
interested in some mining properties in
Sonora which he and his partner,
Frank Smith, transferred to the
Yaqui Copper company, of 10 Broad
way, in consideration of 100000 shares
of the capital stock of the company.
The stock was issued to them accord
ing to contract and a large portion sold
by them. The stock at one time went
to SIS per share and Mr.. GoOdman's
grievance is that through what he
claims was manipulation by myself and
others the stock was deprecated until
at present it has a market value of
much less than SIS per share. The
only reason that can give for his act
was that the money he had received he
had sQuandered, was desperate and
without means and he expected to force
me to give him an amount of cash suff1-
Client to make up his losses in stocks.

years in Mexico and Arizona"

IS UNDERWOOD TO
LEAVE THE ERIE?
Reports Say That He viii Soon
Retire From the Pres
idency.

President F. D. Underwood of the Erie,
it is said, is about to resign as executive
head of that system, to be succeeded by
w. G. Besley. general manager of the
Jersey Central
Mr.. Underwood is now abroad but will
return before May l. 1t is expected that
upon his return from Europe his retire
ment will be announced.
President Underwood was formerly gen.
eral manager of the 500 line, but left that
system to go East about five years ago.
He is one of the best known railroad men
In the country and has scores of Intimate
friends among Twin City railroad off,
Gals.
The announcement Of Mr.. Underworld
probable retirement will not surprise his
St. Paul friends, as 1t has been known
here for some time that the Fries presi-
dent has desired to sever his connection
with that line.
Says Underwood VIII Retire.
In recent issue of the New York Com
mercial much prominence is given to an
article regarding President Underwood 8
resignation The Commercial quotes
man who the paper says is usually ac-
curately and we'll informed upon railroad
Il think that without doubt the Erie
is on the verge Of big Shakeup, the
beginning Of which will be the retirement
of F. D. Underwood from the presidency,
either on his return from abroad or soon
after.
The possibility and probability Of a
change in the executive head of the COM
pany. is so strong, and 50 repeatedly
and insistently talked of in both railroad
and financial circles, that it cannot
longer be ignored 1 believe a new deal
is coming, but when it will occur is for
certain reasons quite problematical. The
result will bring many other changes
after new president has been installed.
Mr.. Underwood has been DESTROYS of
retiring for some little time, and this
fact has probably been responsible for
the rumors of his doing SO, which have
met with denial His going abroad,
however had nothing to do with the
case. He was suffering from overwork
and the need of rest had become i'm
perative. He was, too, very anxious
about his brother, whom he took with
him, and who was very sick man.
1T is my understanding that Mr.. I'm
derwood has a contract under which he
took the Erie presidency, which has some
time to run, possibly two years, and l
further understand that an adjustment
under this contract with reference to his
salary has been pending. AS j. P. Nor
gan, who put him at the head of the COM
pany, has gone to Europe, and Mr.. I'm
derwood has delayed his return beyond
April Is, the date he had set for home
coming, it is my impression that he will
have a conference with Mr.. Morgan on
the other side and the entire question will
be settled between them"

tention, not only from the members Of
his own band, but from DR.. Rodwell, the
subagent Of Cass Lake. who has given
him personal care.
Chief Bemidji is unique figure in the
history of the red men of the Northwest.
Years before the advent of the first white
settler he lived on what is now the
townsite of the present prosperous town
of Bemidji. When the prospect of town
at that point became apparent he at
tempted to secure the site as an allot-
ment. Failing in that he abandoned his
tribal rights and undertook to claim 1t
as homestead. He again failed, al
though it is asserted that on that occa
sion he was cheated, absolutely, by his
white brothers.
Bemidji has always been held with
dams and the title of Chief" by which
he was always known, is purely honorary:
No one knows his age. although 1t is
thought that he has passed the century
mark. The accompanying picture is said
to be the most magnificent character
photograph which was ever taken Of an
Indian.
