Paris, Dec. 2S.-The Toxic CORES.
pondent of the Temps wires that Lieu.
tennat General Kodama, Field Marshal
Oyama's chief of staff, has been recall.
ed from the front for striking the field
marshal.
Lieutenant Gneeral Kodama is with.
out doubt one of the greatest, if not the
rgeatest, of japanese generals, and at
the time of the outbreak of the war it
was generally believed that he would
be appointed commander in chief of
the Manchurian army. The announce
ment of his appointment to be chief of
staff was received with general salts
fation. as the preparedness of the Jap
anese army was generally credited to
his foresight and wonderful executive
ability.
For years prior to the outbreak of
war General Kodama was engaged in
perfecting both the home defenses and
the means of mobilization Of the army
at short notice. The scope of the work
was revelation even to the govern
ment, for general Kodama had worked
out many details, the great Importance
of which became on'y apparent when
the test of mobilization was taken in
hand. There is no doubt that many
of the brilliant strokes executed by the
Manohurian army were the creations
of General Kodama's brain. During
the war with China, Kodmaa was vice
miniter of war and later was appointed
to the command of the Third division,
from which position he retired to as
sumo the Office of Field Marshal Oya-
ma g chief of staff.

Cavern of Gold
Found in Nevada

Reno, New, Dec. 2s.-A heavy shot
in drift of the Lookout mine at Gold
field recently opened up an immense
cave containing one of the largest
bodies of pay ore ever discovered in
that portion of Nevada. Careful meas
urements of the ore exposed were made
and 1t was determined that the ore
cave contained over 1000 tons of gold
ore, which will average 80 per ton.
The men had put heavy shot in the
drift, and the next morning when the
muckers went to wor to clear up the
ore they discovered that large cavern
had been opened up. Part of the drift
had fallen IN, and one side of the tun-
mel had been blown away, exposing the
cavern. As the caverns are of frequent
occurrence in the mines in the Gold
field district and usually contain ore,
the men investigated and found all the
walls were of gold.

NAN PATTERSON IN JAIL.
Bail Is Refused and She Spent a Sad
Christmas,

New Workman Patterson's last
hope of spending Christmas with her
parents at their home In Washington
vanished Saturday when District At
torney Jerome announced that he
would not agree to reduction of
her bail. This was taken to mean
that she will again be tried. Her bail
had previously been fixed at 100000.
When the district attorney made his
announcement Daniel OReilly, of coun-
sci for Miss Patterson, said:
This surely means that there will
be new trial. We are anxious that
it will be called soon and will make
every effort to have 1t called as soon
as possible"
Afterward he said that counsel had
decided not to attempt to get any bail
unless the district attorney does not
promise speedy trial. Counsel, he
said, believed the best place for Miss
Patterson was in the Tombs as she
had been so long there.
The urgency for a new trial was,
Mr.. O'Reilly said, due to the fact that
the defense has found some new, and
what they consider important, evil
dence, Part of this, he said, was the
finding of some so caliber bullets in
Young's trunk. Mr.. O'Reilly said that
Prosecutor Rand admitted the finding
of the bullets, but contended that they
belonged to Mrs. Young.
The news that she could not be ad-
mitted to bail was broken to Miss
Patterson as gently as possible, but
she broke down completely, after mah-
ing brave show of cheerfulness all
day. Even though she knew she would
have to remain in the Tombs over
Christmas she had hoped she might be
released on bail next week.

SIOUX cITY's BIG FIRE.

Two Of It's Best Business Blocks Are
In Ashes.
Sioux City.-Sioux City awoke Sat
urday with two Of its best business
blocks in aches, causing a loss that
may reach two millions and half.
throwing hundreds of persons out Of
employment and entailing the loss Of
at least one life.
The fire had originated In the base
ment Of the Pelletier Drygoods COM
pany, at Fourth and Jackson streets,
one of the main corners Of the city.
The fire soon spread from the Massa-
chusetts building to the Toy building,
across Jackson street, seven story
structure, and then leaped across
Fourth street to the Metropolitan
block, which was also a seven story
building. This was only partly de-
stroyed. but the Toy block and its
annex on the east were entirely burn
ed.
The Massachusetts building, in
which the Pelletler Drygoods company
was located, was soon destroyed and
the fire swept toward the west, final
Iy wiping out two Of the blocks in
the center of the city between Jackson
street on the east, Pierce street on
the west. Fourth street on the north
and Third street on the south.
Within this territory the only build
ings saved were the Northwestern Ma
tioual bank, on Fourth and Pierce
streets, and the Tribune building
on Pierce.
Three hotels were burned-the
West, Leader and Pullman. All of the
guests escaped in safety. The man
who was killed jumped from the
fourth story window in the Massachu.
sets building. He struck a wire and
missed the net held by the firemen.
Nobody has been able to identify him.
1t was not until after o'clock that
the flames were finally checked at
Pierce street, after Seller Brothers
wholesale liquor establishment had
been burned.
Most of the property destroyed was
reasonably well insured and the re.
building Of the burned buildings will
begin in most instances as soon as
fire losses are adjusted.

Washington's New
Irrigation Bill Framed

The irrigation commission which
was recently appointed by Governor
Mcbride have completed their work.
The draft of the new law which they
were working on is completed and
makes y very voluminous report.
This proposed law provides for the
appointement of state engineer by
the governor at salary of $4,000, with
an assistant at salary of $4,000.
The state engineer will have full
charge ofall irrigation work, under in
structions from the governor.
A committee of water commissioners
is also recommended to have charge OF
six different sections of the state, into
which it will be divided with reference
to irrigation.
The United States will be given the
right to withdraw water from any of
the streams which are being used for
irrigation purposes for one years time
with the privilege of extending this
time to two years when any project is
under way.
The United States is also allowed
the right of way over state LANDS Tor
any project of irrigation.
In case of any dispute the matter
will be left with the state engineer and
one of the water commissioners, with
the privilege of calling in second
water commissioner if they deem it
necessary.
The proposed law states that all the
waters in the state belong to the public
and are subject to appropriation for
public use. Every person, association
or corporation carrying water for the
use of others besides the one carrying
the water will be common carrier.
The draft of the new law has been
sent to Seattle to be printed, and it is
expected will be finished in few
days. 1t will then go to the governo

full Trial.

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 27.-Captain

several successful flights in the same
machine from the worlds fair grounds
at st. Louis, was given its first trial
in California Sunday and was success.
full with the single exception Of its
failure to land at the starting point.
A landing was effected half mile
away without damage to the machine
and 1t was safely towed back to it's
anchorage.
The Arrow started from Chutes park
baseball grounds. in the southeastern
part of the city, at 3:17 p. M, sailed
with the wind northeastward for a
distance of between and 10 miles,
thence eastward for two miles, and re-
turned In the face Of 10 mile gale
to a point directly above the starting
point, but owing to the supply OF
gasoline running short, was unable to
effect a landing at exactly the desired
spot.
From the time the airship arose
from the baseball grounds until 1t was
safely anchored at Pico and Stanford
streets, 1t was in flight an hour and
10 minutes, and in that time sailed 6
distance of probably 20 miles. When
flying with the wind the Arrow travel
ed at speed Of 20 miles an hour, and
in returning directly in the face Of the
strong southeastern gale was able to
make rate of speed reckoned at be-
tween six and eight miles an hour.
The airship was Unanswered by
Knabenshue in every direction, re-
spending readily to its rudder, cir
cling and turning in either direction,
sailing directly in the face Of the wind
or at any angle, and rising and dipping
as the operator directed. The Arrow
rose at times to height of probably
5000 feet or more, with Knabenshue
regulating the height by shifting his
weight and raising or lowering the
bow of the craft as he desired to
ascend or descend.

Going to Fight
the Paper Trust

st. Paul. Dec. 2S Attorney Gene
raj Moody, for the United States,
through Assistant District Attorney
Haupt and James M. Beck. special
assistant attorney generalfo the United
States, has filed a petition in the Unit
ed States district court, in which he
makes the General Paper company
defendant and its numerous constituent
companies part defendants in suit to
enjoin them and restrain them from
doing business through the General
Paper company as sales agent, in VIC
lation of the provisions of sections
and of the act of congress approved
July 2, entitled an act to protect
trade and commerce against unlawful
restraints and monopolies.
The petition alleges that the defend
ants entered into an agreement to COM
bine and control the sale of the product
of the different companies through the
General Paper company in that the
General Paper company regulated the
p rices, sales and shipment and terri
tory for the sale of the same, and after
deducting operating expenses of the
General Paper company divided the
surplus among the members of the cor
porations.
The petition recites that the General
Paper company was organized under
the laws of Wisconsin May 26, 1900,
with capital stock of 100000, divi-
ded into 1000 shares, which were dis
tributed among and are now held by
certain of the defendants named, and
that later the others were taken into
the combine, naming them in the order
in which they appeared in the trust,
and goes on to state that the General
Paper company became the exclusive
selling agent for the defendant, swith
absolute power to control the outut of
the various mills, fix the price of all
the paper sold and to whom and upon
what terms and conditions the paper
should be sold; and into what states
and places it shall be shipped and
what publishers and other customers
each mill shall supply.
The petition alleges that in all con-
sequence Of the combination all compe-
ton in the manufacture, sale and dis
tribution of paper has been restricted
and the price of all paper products
generally increased, particularly that
of newsprint paper, which has been in
creased abuot SO per cent. 1t further
statesss that no dealers or newspapers or
orther consumers in the territory west
of the Mississippi, with the exception
of certain newspapers publishers in st.
Louis and Chicago, can purchase any
paper except directly through the Gen.
eral Paper company, and then only on
terms dictated by the latter. The
court is thus asked to declare the al
legged combination unlawful an that
the defendants be perpetually enbjoin-
ed form doing any act in pursuance Of
the same; and that the General Paper
company be enjoined from acting as
salesiagent for the other defendants,
and that the latter be enjoind from
continueing their arrangement with the
GLral Paper company. The court is
asked also to direct the defendants to
come into court and answer all ques-
tons relating to allegations of the Pc
ton AZ may be necessary.
