Charged with being the principal

by which $3,S00 was secured from a

Dunnam was arrested there.
A telegraph operator, who had
acted as Dunham's accomplice, gave
to the police the information that led

also known as F. d. Miles, is charg-

TO RECOVER EQUITABLE MONEY
Paul Morton Will Try to Compel
Trust Company to Pay Back.

Paul Morton. president of the
Equitable Life Assurance society,
made public the fact that he has di-
rected Wallace McFarlane, as counsel
for the Equitable, to begin suit
against the Mercantile Trust Com
pany to compel restitution by it of
sums aggregating, principal and in
terest, more than $l,000,O00. Mr..
Morton asserts these sums were ap-
piled under the former Equitable
management to improper or unauthor-
lied loans, and his report, which is
addressed to the board of directors,
throws light upon some extraordinary
financial transactions of the former
regime, both before and after the
death of the late Henry B. Hyde.
In this connection Mr.. Morton also
refers to the $6S5, 900 loan carried by
the Mercantile trust, which has been
the object of much speculation as to
the uses to which it was put by
James w. Alexander and Thomas ID.
Jordan.

SECOND PEACE CONFERENCE.
Gar of Russia Sends Invitations
to the Powers to Meet.
HAS APPROVAL OF ROOSEVELT
Emperor Makes Move for Future
Peace Before Treaty With Japan
Has Been Signed.

1t is officially announced that the
Russian government proposes to adj
dress the foreign powers with a view
to the holding of a second peace con
ference at The Hague, but it is known
that negotiations preceding this an
nouncement that the government
proposed to address the powers"
were entered into, especially with the
United States and were conducted
with the greatest secrecy.
The announcement created the
greatest surprise in st. Petersburg,
and that Russia should plan second
conference despite the steps already
taken by President Roosevelt, was
also heard with amazement. 1t Is
clear that the step could not be talk
en- by Russia without first reaching
complete understanding with
President Roosevelt. The fact that
President Roosevelt is reported as be-
ing entirely in sympathy with the pro-
posal, and that he is said to believe
that to the initiator of the first
Hague conference should belong the
readily and even gladly acceded to
the Russian proposal, is clear proof
that the conference has already been
called and that President Roosevelt
relinquished his part in it to the en-
peror
There is strong reason to believe
that the news even of the intention
Of the Russian government would not
be given out unless invitations had
already been sent to the powers and,
possibly, that their answers had been
received. In this connection an in
terestihg question arises as to how
the invitation was communicated to
Japan, in view of the lack of diplo-
matte relations, but the invitation may
be delayed until such relations have
been resumed, or it may have been
forwarded through the United States.

The United Natural Gas Company, a

brought by the Swedish Lutheran
Church of Kane, in which the church
contended that gas is not mineral.
The decision is of importance to
leaseholders in the oil regions.
The church sought to eject the COM
pany from land which had been do
mated to the congregation by the late
General Kane in 1867, the mineral
rights having been reserved. The
church entered a claim for $4,000
profits, arguing that the product of
