RENEW sTRATToN MINE SUIT.
Purchasers Go to Supreme Court With
Claim for 100000 Damages.

Washington, March 31.-A petition
for writ of certiorari has been filed
in the supreme court of the United
States in the case of Stratton's Inde-
pendence Mining Company of England
against the trustees Of the estate of
w. S. Stratton, the deceased Colorado
mining millionaire. The case involves
a suit for damages of $6,0O0,000 which
the company claims to have received
in the purchase of Strattons Indepen-
dence mine at Cripple Creek.
, In their petition the purchasers set
forth that they paid $10,000,000. for the
property and thos they assert was So
100000 more than it was forth. They
charge that the ore was Sailed and
say that in other ways Mr.. Stratton
made the mine appear far more val
liable than it really was.
The case was decided by the circuit
court of appeals for the eighth circuit
favorably to the Stratton estate, and
the purpose of the petition is to have
the case brought to the supreme court
for review.

SOCIETY PAYS HYDE DINNER.
$4,000 Spread to French Ambassador
From EquitabIe's Funds.

$4,000 Spread to French Ambassador
From EquitabIe's Funds.
New York, March 31.-A man close
to James Hazen Hyde, in the interests
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
.ciety controversy, admitted yesterday
that Hyde had paid the expenses of a
dinner given by him last November
to NJ Jules .Cambon, the French am
bassador, from the funds of the society,
;of which he is vice president and
controlling stakeholder.
This accusation in regard to the
Cambon dinner is one of those made
against Hyde in the petition filed by
Senator Edgar T. Bracket with the SUI
perintendent Of insurance in. Albany,
in which it was sought to have Hyde
removed from the office along with
Jacob H. Schiff, a director Of the So
ciety.
The man who made this statement
added. however, that the money had
been refunded to the society by Hyde.
This was done, it is said, by the direc-
ton of the superintendent, after an
examination Of the society's books by
representatives from the superlntend-
ent's office. The expenditure was JUS
titled as society expenditure IN the
opinion of the man who told about 1t.
There was pending in France at the
time Of the dinner, he said, legislation
which, If carried, would have been most
prejudicial to the Equitable Company.
At the dinner in honor Of Camoon
MANY nice things We're said about
France and the French people and the
proposed legislation was not enacted
AS the Equitable had profited by the
dinner it was no more than right that
the expenses should be paid from the
funds of the society.
The cost at the dinner, at the time
it was given, is estimated at $4,000.
1t was in the grand ball room at sher-
RVS. More than $50 persons attended
and they sat at tables decked with
pink orchids and American beauty
roses, blooming amid a bedding of Vir-
ginia creeper and red and yellow leav-
es of autumn"
Some persons who heard of this yes
terday expressed the opinion that.
however much the dinner might speak
for Hyde's business ability. it would
not, in view of the explanation, be en-

Heads of the Big Meat Packing
Concerns May Be Indicted
on That Count
DRASTIC ACTION is TAKEN
Witnesses Said to Have Been APP
preached With Suggestions That
Their Testimony Before the Grand
Jury be Miid-RaiIroad Men Sum-
moned to Give Evidence.

Chicago, March 31.-Conspiracy in
dictments are threatened against heads
of big meat packing concerns unless
alleged tampering with witnesses who
the federal grand jury is discounted at
ouce. With two witnesses on the
stand yesterday who, 1t is asserted, adj
mitted that they had been approach
ed with a suggestion that their testi-
mony be mild, the jury, 1t Is declar-
ed, is getting ready to take drastic
action.
I'VE wish no interference with wit
nesses," said Assistant Attorney Gem
eral Pasin last night, even If we have
to resort to proceedings under the con-
spiracy statute to do So"
Belief was general last night that
Mr.. Pagin has already laid out plans
Of new indictments.
Fifteen witnesses were heard yester-
day, three women being among those
who testified. The women were said
to be stenographers. employed by the
National Packing Company. One Of
the witnesses before the jury yester-
day was Charles Il. Mead of Boston,
formerly connected with Swift & Co.'s
car lines. Mr.. Meade said that he had
not been in that business for three
years and was able to testify only
concerning the methods In use then in
carrying on the business. The witness
said that since resigning his position
Swift & Co. had disposed of their in
terests In the car line business. j.. S.
Curtis of r. r.. Baker q Co. of Bos-
ton and Frank Dimpom of Omaha were
others witnesses before the jury. Mr..
Dimpom explained the meat business
from the viewpoint of the medium thru
which the consumer obtains meat.
The fifteen secret service men who
have been frequenting the corridors in
the building where the grand jury is
In session, were not to be seen yes
terday District Attorney Morrison
was said to have ordered that waiting
witnesses instead Of spending their
time in the vicinity of the jury room
are to be concealed in down town ho-
tells until called before the jury. In
this way the witnesses will be more
readily prevented from learning the
identity of the secret service men
watching iSr possible Irregularities.
Ten men arrived in the jury room
last evening and reported to. the gov
eminent officials. 1t is said ten are
employed by railroads in Michigan.

IMPORTANT DECISION
Judge Reed of Federal Court Passes
On New Point in the Bankruptcy

Special to Times Republicans:
Dubuque, March 31-Judge Reed, OF
| tho United States court, has filed an
important decision on the bankruptcy
| law with Clerk Van Duzee in which
the court rules OH n point never before
brought up in this district. The court
holds that the claim of creditor VINO
has received preference shall not De
allowed unless such creditor surren-
ders such preference. In other words
should a bankrupt transfer any OF ms
property to a creditor to satisfy a
claim at any time within four months
prior to going into bankruptcy, the
referee in the case has the power To
| take the transferred property and APP
! ply it to the assets of the bankrupt
and the preferred creditor shall not
share in the settlement unless volun-
tary surrender is made.
The case which brought about the
| decision was that of C. b. Remnant, OF
Rockford, who went into bankrupt
CIV in August, 1903. In July of the
same year Reinhart transferred GER
| tain portion Of his property to George
| SCHNEIDER, When Reinhart went into
bankruptcy the referee brought suit
against the parties to whom the trans
| fer of property had been made. They
set up the claim that they bought the
| property in good faith and were not
creditors but on the hearing 1t was
shown that Reinhart had owed them
money and that the transfer was made
to satisfy the claim. The referee took
possession of the property transferred
to the three men and applied it to the
assets of Reinhart. Messrs. Coates
and SCHNEIDER then asked for a share in
the distribution of the assets of Rein
hart and it was upon this point that
Judge Reed ruled. The court held
that the three creditors had forfeited
their claim by refusing to surrender
the preference given them by Rein
hart.
The decision is very important in
bankruptcy proceedings and will at
tract much attention thruout the state,
as it has never been applied be-
fore.

THE MARKET STRONG TODAY

Chicago. March 31.--A new high
record price was made In cattle late
Yesterday. when the sale of eighteen
prime Kansas Hercfords at an average
of 333 hounds at $6.35 was consum-
mated, being the highest sale since
early in February, and twenty above
any sale MADE last week. Today the
market was a.ctive and strong, export
ers being good purchasers and paying
further advances of about 10 cents
The general market is 30 to 80 cents
higher than u week ago.
Late high prices should not encour-
age too liberal marketing OF light and
half fat steers here in the next week
The demand for such kinds is none too
strong and advancing values have been
paid merely because of the small runs
this week. Cattle are not In any too
good condition to dress we'll, and when
buyers receive results of the killing
percentages of late purchases their
desire to trade freely at higher prices

is broad enough to effect ready outlet
for moderate supplies, but under the
high prices now ruling, very liberal Of
ferings of half-fat kinds, must. say
traders meet an inevitable reaction in
selling values.
The general demand for stockers and
feeders has been stimulated in late
days by the higher prices ruling for fat
steers, and while feeder values are now
relatively as high as those for fat cat
tie dealers say the outlook appears
fairly favorable for continued strong
prices. Spring grass will soon be in
shape to enable running light cattle on
pasture and dealers are expecting
more active inquiry for the light
steers. A few selected stockers sold
at $3.50 Thursday, with most fair to
good lots at $3.75@4.15, common grad
es at $3.250p3.60 and inferior under

Fire at Rockwell City.

Rockwell City, March 31.-The pri-
waite barn Of R. w. Whitfield burned
last evening, and no good reason has
been advanced for the origin of the
fire. 1t is thought that some little
boys started it. The firm company had
an opportunity to test the new fire
pump that belongs to the city. The
land office of Stewart Bros. caught
fire, it being near the Whitfield barn,
and the pressure of water thrown was
SO great that pieces of siding were
taken off the Stewart building, and
many shingles were taken off the roof
of an adjoining building.
