JOHN JAMES SAYS THERE is PLENTY
OF FINE LAND In UINTAH RESERVATI ION

by proper systems of irrigation, he
says, and he believes the future of the
region is one of great promise. Many
persons went there expecting to find
waving wheat fields, Mr.. James says.
and these, of course, were disappointed
as the country is as yet undeveloped to
a great extent.
At Mack, Colo, Mr.. James found
Messrs. DavissOn and Ridges. the Salt
Lake contractors busy at work on a
large hotel for the Uintah railroad.
They are also filling contracts at
Vernal, Wells, Dragon and Atchee, he
says, and expect to have a large part
in the development of the region. Mr..
James says things are lively on the
reservation and in all the adjacent
towns.
Thomas r. Horne. Roy Hills and
Joseph Sutherland, who went TO the
reservation with Mr.. James, are re-
turning by wagon and will reach Salt
Lake City Tuesday or Wednesday.

THINK MOTHER A GHOST
One Nan tainted; One Shook-Identi-
fled Dead Woman as Their
Parent,

Waterbury, Conn, Nov. 15.-After
Thomas and Michael Mcdonald had,
iwept overSthe supposed corpse Of their
mother lying on the floor of the public
market this morning and then had
made the preliminary funeral arrange
iments and had telephoned death no
!tices to the newspapers, they went
home to find their mother alive n Sit
ting at the window. Thomas tainted.
michael thought he beheld a ghost. This.
twas the end of q most remarkable ase
iof mistaken identity.
! Shortly after noon q woman entered
market to make some purchases
and fell dead at a counter. Clerks in
the place thought she was Mrs. Nc.
donald. So did the policeman on the
beat. Neighbors made the identifica-,
tion APPARENTLY positive. Then Thomas
land Michael came hurrying from their
work at a foundry, wept piteously over
the body, kissed the dead face n an
undertaken bore away the body.
Thomas said death was undoubtedly
due to the fright occasioned by 70 fire
lat their home last night.
When the McDonalds went sorrow
fully home the mother asked:
What makes you boys late to din
ner?"
Then it was that big Tom tainted
and Michael stood daZed With shaking
knees.
The McDonalds are a very happy
family this evening. The dead
was later identified as Mrs. Catherine

KING WAS REALLY WED
Papers Opened Telling of Marriage Of
George ". to Mrs. Fitz- Herhert
After Seventy Years.

London, Nov. lA.-By permission of
king Edward VII, the Daily Chronicle
asserts, Il package of papers consigned
to the care OF the Coutts bank by Mrs.
,Fitz-Hcrbert under the stipulation that
it was not TO be opened for Il long
period, has now, after seventy years,
been opened and proved to contain the
marriage certificate and other indisput-
able proofs hat George ". was actu-
ally married to Mrs. E'itZ-Herbcrt.
Mrs. FitZ-Herbert became the wife
of the prince Of Wales, afterward
George ". in December 1875. The
marriage of the prince was invalid UNI
der English law, though it was sane
toned by tho Roman Catholic church,
of which Mrs. Fitz-Herbert was a
mcmber. 1t was expected the papers
in the CouttS bank would settle d ques-
zion which has agitated the British
public for owe q century as to Wheth-
.ar there was issue from the marriage,
but there is nothing in the foregoing
dispatch to indicate that the question
has been solved. 1t had long been re-
ported that there was Il male child,
and that this child emigrated to the
United States and settled in Washing
zion, when he died some years after
diving very quietly, but in good circum-
stances.

1T ACKNOWLEDGES MUCH
Asphalt Company Makes Confession,
but Seeks to Shift Blame
Upon Castro,

New York, Nov. 15.-Allegations thai
high officials in the Venezuelan gov
iernment deliberately attempted to ex-5
tort from the company the sum of
$500, 600 are made in a statement given
Iout by the New York and Bermudez
Asphalt company in reference to the
suit brought by the Venezuelan gov,
eminent for $1,000, 900 against it for
aiding the Matos rebellion.
The means used by the officials, ac-
tcording to the allegations, included
blackmail, confiscation Of the COM
pany's property, the manufacture OF
false testimony and the making Of de-,
creeS without regard to law. The alle-i
cations made in the statement are
based upon letters which, it is de-
ner, now receiver, holding the COM
pany's property for the Venezuelan
government, but who in 1900 was the
company's agent at Caracas and the,
representative of Colonel Victor M
Backus, who was sent to Venezuela in.
10Y as an independent agent by the
asphalt company.
The statement concludes with an ex-
haustive review of what it describes as
the asphalt company's actual relations
to the revolution"
IN this connection it is explained that
100000 was given to General Matos
by the officials of the National Asphalt
company on the generals request. Fur-t
Their sums ~aggregating 100000 were
paid the revolutionary leader soon aft
erward. h money was paid, the
statement says, to guarantee protection
TO the company's property at a time
when the territory in which the COM
pany's property is located was in con-
troll of the revolutionists.
The statement maintains that The
company at all times observed absolute
neutrality. even going to the expense
of paying customs duties to both the.
government and .ae rc.clutionists,
when the custom houses were con-
;rolled by the insurgents.
The statement does not deny any OF
.he charges that 1t aided the rebellion.
But counters with the claim that CAS-.
Jro is seeking revenge because it re-
fused to pay him S42C, 900 which was,
demanded In q yelled manner by Mss
brother-in-law.

NEW YORK SHY OF CASH
National Banks There Are Far Below
the Legal Reserve and Can Loan
Mo More

! New York. Nov. 14.--New York clear,
ing house banks hold $2,42S. 500 less CASH
than the legal requirement Of 25 per-
cent. of deposits. This is exclusive Of
government deposits, on which the gov-
lernment has decided it is not necessary
ITO hold q reserve. Counting in govern
;ment deposits, cash holdings are $685.
$50 less than the legal reserve.
Washington, Nov. 11.-Comptroller of
Currency Ridgely, being shown the
New York bank statement today,
said the statement is one made to the
clearing house and is entirely unoffi-
!cial. He has no knowledge of it except
that which comes through newspapers.
iThe fact that the reserve of national
banks is below h legal requirement. is
nothing very unusual, he said. A bank
lis not required to suspend payment for
the purpose of maintaining a legal re-
serve. The law provides the bank shall
make any further loans until the
reserve is made good.
