900. The stock Is alleged to have been
given Kimberly before the fraud OF
which he is accused was discovered.
There is also involved $4,000 cash,
asserted to have also been given KIM
berly before the alleged fraud was un-
covered. Retu1n. of the money has been
demanded In the litigation against
Kimberly.
Plan Of Fraud.
In the bill by which an accounting
is sought and cancellation Of the con-
tract with Kimberly demanded is set
forth the plan by which the alleged
deal was put through by Kimberly and
his associates 1t reveals an alleged
disregard of the mining laws of Cali
fornia and the refusal of Kimberly to
make restitution for the wrongs OF
which he was accused.
The contract between Kimberly and
his alleged confederates in the alleged
plan for defrauding the Great Western
Company was made Dec. II, 1902.
Prior to that time Kimberly is said to
have approached 2. F. Adams. then
president, and j. J. Chambers, then the
vice president of the corporation, and
to have bribed them into dereliction of
duty to the company.
Using w. 2. Snyder, a mining man
of Salt Lake City. as a go-between,
Kimberly is declared to have been able
with the alleged recreant officers to in
duce e. A. Henderson, secretary Of the
company, to attest the contract for the
s2,0O0,O00 deal. OF the amount all over
$3.50, 900 was to be divided among the
.conspirators, and Kimberly was to have
the latter amount for the mining prop
critics. All the properties bought by
the Great Western Company are asser-
ted to lie in the flat creek mining dis
trict in Shasta county, California.
With them were certain water rights
necessary to the operation of the prop
critics by the new owners.
Immediately after completing the
deal for the sale of the mines, it is de-
clared, Kimberly discovered that the
California mining law forbids direc-
tors of mining companies to buy min
ing ground unless the purchase is rat
Iified by two-t thirds of the holders OF
outstanding stock. His deal is said to
have been put through regardless OF
law

Des Moines, June S.-Governor Cum

The governor denied the extradltion

there must be some kind of sworn 5eyi-

Lundt did not have. Governor Cum

st. Petersburg, June s.-Ascension
day, one of the most important Russian
religious holidays, was not marked by
the appearance of the expected imper
ial manifesto on the subject of the
national assembly. There is a signifi-
cant change in tone on the part of the
Russian newspapers like Novoe Vrem-
va, which never heretofore have even
admitted the possibility of a conclu-
sion Of hostilities until Russia had
recovered her military prestige by a
victory. Today the papers discuss
calmly the advisability of ending the
war, if Japan's terms are reasonable.
Payment of "a big indemnity would be
too humiliating. Novoe Vren1ya says
bluntly that if Japan asks too much
it will pay Russia to prolong the con-
test indefinitely.

st, Petersburg, June s.-President
Roosevelt, striving with excellent pros

stage. One OF the main obstacles, it
seems, will be to overcome once both
Japan and Russia have agreed to ac-
cept his good offices for arrangement
OF preliminaries. The belligerents are
expected to be able to arrange the
peace terms direct. The president is
believed to share with Emperor William
the view that the belligArents shoull
be allowed to settle actual terms with
out outside interference. Evidence also
exists that Roosevelt has secured the
support Of several continental powers
and that at the proper time they will
appear at his back. Exactly what is
transpiring at Washington is being
carefully guarded. Diplomats here are
still greatly at sea, not being able to
z do more than venture a shrewd guess
and indulge ir speculation. The in
.terest with which the moves on the
washington chess board are being fol-
lowed is evidenced by the manner in
which the ambassadors and ministers
who learned Of Ambassador Meyers
audience with the czar yesterday flock

demands, peace seems at last to be

will be the first evidence the world will
have that the two powers have agreed
to shake hands.

FINGER PRINTS DIsAPPOINT
Public Had Hopes in Those Left
by Murderer.
Thought They Would Either Clear
or Convict DIR. Koch.
Outline Blurred and Finger Lines
Soaked Into Wood.

The finger prints were blurred and
be useless to the finger print experts,
and there were no lines visible at all.
This answers a question which has
been uppermost in a great many minds
since the trial of DR.. Koch closed;
why was it that the prints left by the
murderer in his flight on the underside
of the window sash in DR.. Reineke's
reception room, did not play a more
important part in either clearing or
convicting the accused man?
The prints were cut out of the sash
and kept by Detective A. E. Rydell
until the trial began, when they were
turned over to the prosecution and ii
was not generally known just what the
prints looked like. They were made
by the last three fingers on the lief
hand and about an inch Of the fingers
from the first joint down seems to have
been pressed against the wood.
But in lifting the window the fingers
slipped just a little SO as to spoil the
/ outline of the fingers. The wood i!
pine and the blood soaked into it 81
freely that the lines always left by
print on a hard surface like glass O
steel, were entirely obliter ated.
These finger prints before the tria
were one of the most widely advertised
