ment Of it's last mortgage debt last
night by a dinner and mass meeting at
the auditorium, attended by the off
GERS who have worked so long and

useful future. s.., -.:

state university, presided with his usual
wit and brilliancy. Among the guests

George B: Hodge Of New, York, one of
country. The other speakers were men
who had seen the need of the organi-
zation in it's darkest hours and had
given their time and money unsparing-
ly that it might live.
George B. Hodge spoke of the work
of the association and its power for
good in the lives of young men. One
of the most interesting addresses was
by D. G. Bell, the first president, who
spoke of the early work Of the Y. M.
distributing and the helping of unfor-
Inmates, somewhat resembling the Sal
walton Army work and somewhat the
Christian Endeavor.
Among the other speakers were E.
W. Peck, who spoke of the state work;
in the cultivation Of the mental and
physical talents, the religion Of Jesus
Christ be not forgotten; Rev. Mr.. Ell
lott, who declared that it was one Of
the happiest days, in his life when he
heard that the debt had been paid !;
President W. j. Dean, who, read the
financial history, and Secretary H. P.
Goddard, who spoke of the present
needs of the association.
Several letters were read from those
who were unable to be present. There
was a telegram from Mrs, Benton at
Los Angeles and letters from T. B.
Walker at San Francisco and George
R. Lyman at Washington, D.. c. q

JUMP IN COTTON
WAS UNEXPECTED
MARKET WENT UP 80 POINTS.
SEVERAL BIRMINGHAM MEN
ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE MADE
SNUG LITTLE FORTUNES.

The unexpected jump OF so points or "a
a bale in the cotton market yesterday
caused great excitement In speculative
circles here and quotations on the black
boards in the brokers' offices were watch
ed by eager crowds.
The shorts had urgent calls for more
margins, while those who had bought cot
ton on Monday were jubilant.
1t is said that snug little fortunes were
made by a few Birmingham men who
acted on their bullish Judgment.
The market opened 40 points higher than
Mondays close. This was caused by the
advance In liverpool.
At II o'clock the ginners' report came
in and the market jumped 40 points more.
This report was up to the 18th of Decem-
Der and showed loss of nearly. 500. 900
bales as compared with the same date
the year previous.
1t had been generally believed that the
glnners would report about the same as
In December, 1902. when the cotton ginned
amounted to $500 600 bales.
The market is said to be entirely in the
hards OF spectators and no one can tell
just what 1t will do next. 1t seems to
be the opinion of many lockers on. how
ever. that the tendency will be bullish
for some time to come.

young women have formed themselves

Government Claims That the Resources

ARE UNDER A $4,000 BOND

Chicago, January 5.--Frank jaeger and
John lager, well known throughout the
United States as mining stock brokers
and promoters. were arrested this after
noon on the complaint of Police Inspector
William M. Ketcham, on the charge of us
ing the mails In a scheme to defraud.
Teh arrests were ordered by the govern
ment officials after an inquiry had been
made into the business methods of the
Model Gold Mining company and the
jaeger Oil company of which Frank lager
Is president and treasurer. and John lager
secretary. Upwards of 1900 is involved
N the case, and the federal authorities
declare that sensational revelations will
be made when the prisoners are arraigned
in court.
The brothers were taken before United
States Commissioner Foote where their
bonds were fixed at $4,000 each, and they
were released. At the request of Frank
lager, who said he intended leaving Chi
cago a few hours later with a party of
stockholders to attend the annual meet
ing of the company at Prescott Arlz.,
Commissioner Foote continued the hear
ing of the cases to January 10.
According to the federal officers, the
following mines and oil wells are includ-
ed in the lists of these frauduently mis-
represented In advertising matter sent
through the mails:
McCable, Model Woftone American
gold and copper, Jessie, Helen No. 8, Gold
Bug, Sink-to- Rise, North Model Alta,
Mckinley, Helen No. 2 Copper Queen,
Liberty Bell, Bruce, Monopolies, Heron.
Bachelor, Tom Reed, Copper Crown, Bel
mont, jaeger Oil company. Model Oil
company, Smokeless Priquette company,
Standard Briquette company
Inspector Ketcham said today that he
did not make the claim that the proper
ties are of no value, but that the repre-
sensations as to the earning properties
are fraudulent.
The inspector said:
These men have been using the mails
to make representations about all the
properties, the only one of which our in
vestigation showed had made money was
the McCable mine near Prescott. The
government claims that the resources and
profits have ben fictiously increased. We
charge that sale of stocks on the strength
of this advertising matter have been
made entirely under false pretenses. The
governments position is that there was
an impairment of capital to the amount of
$87, 1927, and that the representations show
that the property operated by the Model
Gold Mining company was $1S0,SsO worse
off than the management represented to
the stockholders at its annual meeting in
1902"
President Frank lager said
1.-The arrest of myself and brother is
purely spite work. A couple of dissatis-
fled stockholders wished to disrupt the
company. We have made no inisrepre-
sensations and we will bring heavy dam
age suits against somebody"

heading by a local lawyer figured some
time ago, showing that is not only the ex-
pert who Is badgered or embarrassed as

In a case against the Metropolitan
Street railway, rather positive and &C
centric Irish woman was asked In cross
examination to give her impression of
the length of two minutes, which she
said had elapsed before she was extricat-
