Oil for Country Roads.

William Rockefeaer. who owns a

home at Tarrytown with crude oil.
Mr.. Rockefeller believes the oil Will
lay the dust during the summer and
harden the roads until they will re-

THE ROMANTIC
 WEDDING OF
 ONE CHARLIE LEE
Siili Making Trouble for
 LOrdSbUfg Celestial

It will be remembered that tive months ago a beautiful Chinese maiden appeared at Lordsburg, N M., accom- panied by a chaperon from San Fran cisco, and it was announced that the maiden. Lillie Chung. was to become the wife of Charlie Lee, a prominent merchant of the New Mexican city. About that time the Chinese inspectors began to get busy and make prepara- tions to investigate by what authority Lille Chung was in the United States. Inspector Cornell, of this city, secured information to the effect that the maiden was i nthe country contrary to the exclusion act. and he procured the arrest of the would-be bride.
 Charlie Lee is not without means or friends in Lordsburg, and he pre- cured bonds and secured the release of Miss Chung. Before the time set for trial he secured a license and se- cured the performance of the marriage ceremony which made Miss Chung his lawful and welded wife. Then a rep .resentation of the case was sent to the treasury department at Washington and ruling was secured to the effect that if Lillie Chung had been married to Charlie Lee, merchant, she could noL be molested in her right to remain
 in the United States.
 It seems from the following taken
 from the Lordsburg Liberal that there
 are yet troubles ahead for Charlie Lee.
 He was married once before to Mex ican girl named Concha, and the claim is made that Concha is yet in the land of the living. Says the Liberal:
 The second act of the romance of Charlie Lee was on the boards this week. It will be remembered that the ldeportation case of Lille Chung was adjourned until Monday, and that the secretary of commerce ruled that if lLillie married a merchant, Lee. she had right to remain in this country. IL was thought that this settled the case,
 but Deputy United States Attorney l Medler had gotten into the case and refused to let go. and would not dis miss the case. When it was called before Commissioner Titus, ir. Med , Ter wanted an adjournment, so that he might procure mora testimony. He | claimed that Ccncha Gonzales. Lee former wife. was still alive, and sc lthe marriage of Charlie Lee and Lillia | Chung was not legal. and Lillie could be deported. He had officers out hunt
 ing for Concha, and hoped to get her.
 In accordance with the request of the attorney the case was postpored until
 November 23d. Theer is no doubt in
 the world but that Concha is dead, and
 Charlie was widOwer at the time O! his marriage However, the burden Of proof is on the government. It will ave to prove that she is alive. Lee
 will not have to prove that she is cad"

 "One commendable feature of this road is the policy of permitting it's public use as far as the construction extends, prior to the actual opening of the road, policy which materially aids the public and which is contrary to the usual autocratic spirit of rail road contractors CT managers
 From all indications this road Is destined to become a great factor in the mineral development of California, and no matter what it means from a railroad point of view. as part of a great transcontinental line, it's value as means of local development is of great consequence to this state"

 After viCissitudes which would have discouraged a less persistent man Tin Murphy has finally unravelea the skein of legal complications which threat eneI to tie up the comedy "A Corner In Coffee" and he will at once begin the preparation of an extensive pro duction for the coming season.
 The curious feature of the case of "A Corner In Coffee" is that MT. Murphy has all along been keen to present this play. Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady. author of the story. desired Mir. Mur phy to act his Elijah J. Tillotson. the South American coffee planter. The publishers of Smart Set, in which the story appeare1 serially. wanted MT. Murphy to act the play, and Owen Da- wis, maker of the dramatiZatiOn. was eager for this actor to present his play. But each claimed certain rights exclu- sive of others and persisted in his claims to a point which threatened tc lie things up permanently.
 Mir Murphy would not enter into any contract or begin any preparations tili the claims were all satisfactorily ad- justed.
 A way out of the tangle was sug- gested few days ago. All claimants to rights in A Corner In Coffee" ac- companied by their attorneys, met in the offices of Smart Set and agreed to a trust When "A Corner In Coffee is produced Tim Murphy will pay all royalties to the trustee, who will hold them until it has been finally decided in court who really owns the dramatic rights to the novel This will be the first of Cyrus Townsend B-ady's books to be dramatized and acted.

BEEF TRUST INQUIRY
MAY END IN FAILURE
Federal Officials Not Conf
dent That Indictments
Will Be Returned.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, June 1S.-United. States Dis
trict Attorney Morrison is not confident
that the Federal Grand Jury will return
indictments against the meat packers
when it reassembles next Wednesday to
finish its work. Similar lack of conf
dence in the outcome of the prolonged
investigation Of the packing industries is
entertained, it was learned to-day, by
several members of the grand jury who
have dropped inadvertent remarks con-
corning the inquiry.
Morrison made the significant remark.
when asked whether any indictments had
been voted, that the jury had taken no
positive action.
mo indictments have leen voted by the
grand jury" he said, land mono can be
voted until the jury reconvenes. am
not prepared to say that any indictments
will be returned even then. I am only
an officer Of the Government and have no
control over the grand jury. AS said
yesterday, It Is possible that more wit
nesses will be examined before the inves-
tigation is over, and the Jurors feel that
they have not exhausted all sources OF
information"
1t was learned through an apparently
reliable channel that four jurors were
overheard discussing the case in a res
taurant near the Federal building yes
terday at the noon hour, and that all ex-
pressed doubt as to whether the evil
dence would be strong enough to sustain
indictments.
