POLLOCK WILL WAIT.
Requests Attorneys in Grain Inspcc-
ton Case to File Briefs.

Judge Pollock, of the United States
federal court, has taken under advise
ment the application for a temporary
injunction against the Kansas grain in
spection bureau to enjoin it from in
specting grain S. w. Moore Kansas
City attorney, appeared representing the
elevators at Kansas City, Kan. After
the state had made its argument, late
Friday afternoon, against the granting
of the injunction Judge Pollock an
nounced that he would take the appli-
cation under advisement and has given
the attorneys ten days in which to file
briefs on the subject.
The fight on the inspection bureau is
simply one which the Kansas City
Board of Trade is directing against the
law in order that it may secure control
of the weighing, checking and grading
OF grain.
A similar fight is also being directed
by the same board against the Missouri
grain inspection law.
J. w. Radford, of the inspection bu-
reau, states that the protective legisla-
tion enacted by the last legislature max
ing it unlawful to take 100 pounds off
each car for alleged shrinkage is being
violated in Kansas City. He claims that
this violation has caused a loss to Kansas
farmers this year of $4,000. The charge
of so cents for weighing in of each car
has also been a costly process for the
agriculturist. These things alone have
contributed to a loss of upwards of
$150,O00 to the farmers of Kansas within
the past three years; such is at least the
opinion of Radford.

Portland. Ore. Sept. 23-A big army

lions OF the Taggart affair, is being
thrashed out behind closed doors at the
vancouver barracks. This morning it
leaked out that Lieutenant Louis Mar
keH Hamilton, commanding officer of
Company c, Tenth infantry, had been
secretly tried on charges arising from
the Captain A. P. Berry case. The YER
diet in the Hamilton case is kept secret.
In addition to Lieutenant Hamilton
and Captain Berry several other army
officers are involved, it is said, from
charges similar to those against Berry,
who is accused of trying to break into
the cabin of Mrs. Mack, wife of Lieu
tenant Mack, of the artillery, while
scantily clad.
The alleged insult took place last
March on the transport Sheridan, which
was bringing the Fourteenth infantry
from the Orient. Mrs. Macks screams
aroused the cabin passengers When
help arrived Captain Berry is said to
have been in the room.

DIFFERENT IN ILLINOIS.
Why Governor Deneen Can't Follow in
Footsteps of Folk.

General Stead today rendered an opin-
ion in answer to communication to
Governor Deneens from the Women's
Christian Temperance Union of st.
Clair county, calling on the governor
to enforce the laws against saloons
keeping open on Sunday, asserting
that saloons were closed on Sunday in
Missouri, across the Mississippi river,
by order of Governor Folk. Attorney
General Stead replied that there was a
difference between the powers and the
duties of the governor of Illinois and
the governor of Missouri. The consti-
tuition and the laws of Illinois were
such that the governor had no right
to interfere in the local administration
of laws until local officers had con-
fessed their inability to enforce laws
and had appealed to the governor.

LYNCHED INNOCENT MAN.
While Sheriff Was in Pursuit of the
Guilty One.

Conway, Ark, Sept. 2S.-Frank
Brown, negro, was taken from jail
here late last night to the out
skirts of the town and hanged by q,
mob. The lynching was so quietly
done that few of the townspeople
knew of its occurrence. The negro
was held for assaulting a Mrs. Law
renee killing her six year old son and
stabbing her baby daughter. Brown
was hanged in front of the house oc-
cupied by Mrs. Lawrence. The lynch
ing was evidently the result of a pre-
arranged plan. The mob formed
quietly in the outskirts of the city and
proceeded to the Jail. Sheriff Harrell
is in Little Rock attempting to run
down a clue which has resulted in the
arrest of another negro implicated in
the crime. The mob experienced no
difficulty in entering the Jail and Sc
curing their victim.
The mob took Brown to the house
in which Mrs. Lawrence lived in a
lonely spot. There was no excitement
and the affair was conducted in a
business like manner.
Mrs. Lawrence had been removed to
another house and the negro was not
taken before her for Identification.
Phe negro, it is said, made a con-
fession.
Little Rock. Sept. 28.-sheriff Har-
reIl of Conway when seen here said he
thought the wrong man had been
lynched and the man he now has un-
der arrest here is the one who COM
mitted the crime for which Brown
was IVOchesd

DISASTROUS RESULTS.
Are Predicted for Settlers in the I'M
periaI Valley.

Detroit, Sept. 23-Disastrous results
from irrigation in the Imperial valley in
southern California were predicted
last night by George Y. Wisner, of De-
troit, an engineer of national reputation
and member of the International water
ways committee, speaking before the
Detroit Engineering society.
within twenty years, thousands of
people who have taken up government
lands in the Imperial valley, viii be
driven out by water, their homes ard
fields forming the bottom of an immense
inland sea-
He said: 1.-The cause of the coming
crisis is poor engineering in diverting
the course of the Colorado river for
irrigation purposes. The river has cut
into the banks of its new course to such
an extent that nearly all of the Colo
rado river flows down into the valley
1.-The engineers realize the danger,
but after many frantic efforts have
failed to change the rivers course back
to its old bed.
Not for twenty years will the evap-
Grafton down there be equal to the in
flow into the valley. BY that time a
million acres of the. valley, which is
from sixty to 265 feet below sea level
will be covered by an inland sea.

Money Market Loosens Up.

New York, Sept 23-=The imme-
diate developments in the money mar
ket this week have tended to relieve
the pressure of bank reserves by gold
imports and disbursements through
the subtreasury on government ex-
pense account The disposition of
stocks to respond TO the highly pros
porous conditions in the country, when
relieved from the pressure Of the
money situation, has been allowed to
manifest itself in consequence. Doubts
over the future course of money on
account of the further needs of the in
terror for funds and of some heavy
coming requirements in the money
market have enforced conservatism ir
stock market operations and dealings
have been largely professional.

the Slain.
Dynamite Bombs and Arms
Found in a Hotel.
I CONGRESSMAN DEAD.

havana, Sept. 2S.-Official dispatches
received from Clenfuegos announce the
hillng OF Congressman Enrique VilIuen-
oaS' leader of the Liberal party, ana
the most able orator in the lower house.
and the chief OF police of Cienfuegos
during conflict between the two po-
htical parties, the Liberals and Mod
crates.
The government advices say the po-
lice had information that, within the
hotel in which ViIluendas resided. q
quantity of arms had been deposited,
and they went to the hotel to investi-
gate the matter. As the police ascend
cd the stairs they were met by a party
OF Liberals, who fired on them, killing
Chief of Police Illance. The police re-
turned the fire, killing Villuendas and
Wounding several others.
Intense excitement prevails at Cien-
fuegos and Havana.
The government authorities fear ths
result which the affair may have upon
the election of members of the election
boards which is being held today.
A dispatch to the Associated Press
from Cienfuegos says that six persons
were killed and twenty-five wounded
during the conflict.
Dispatches to the government say
that, besides Congressman VilIuendas
and Chief OF Police ulance two police
men were killed and a number OF no.
icemen and civilians wounded. Rural
guards are around the entire block in
which the Hotel Suizo, the scene OF
the affair, is situated. One telegram
says that Villuendas fired the shot
which killed the chief of police, while,
according to another telegram. the shot
was fired by Jose Fernandez, a Liberal,
who has been arrested.
A search of the hotel revealed two
dynamite bombs in the room occupied
by Villuendas. The police in searching
the hotel were carrying out the order
of a judge who was informed that ex-
plosives were hidden there.
The government has received a. tele-
gram from Senator F'rias asking it to
send reinforcements at once. The tele-
gram says:
while in Cienfuegos at present the
forces are keeping order, every precau-
ton is needed, as there is danger of as
sault. recommend that the autnori-
| ties prevent the entrance into Cienfue-
gos of probable trouble makers who are
| liable to invade the city. There are
fears of dynamite bomb throwing
Acting on the advice of Senator Frias,
/ the government sent a train of five cars
loaded with rural guards, the largest
number of whom are destined for Glen
| fuegos, while the others will be dis
| tributed In MatanzaS and Santa Clara,
where adviceS received by the govern
ment indicate serious trouble may oc-
cur at any time. The train also car
ries artillery, and the troops are sup
piled with $1,000 rounds of ammunition.
The feeling in Havana Is most in
tense. The Liberals are bitterly de-
nouncing the government, saying they
have received no adyfces from Cienfue-
gos because the government will not
permit the use of either the govern
ment telegraph lines or the cable lines.

evidence was not secured by the federal
