of a former minister to France. In
the department of justice are women

are priced more highly than the friv-

THE WORLDS BANNER MINING
CAMP.

In the mining world for the past
year Nevada has attracted the most
interest and Goldfield has been the
center of that attraction. While there
have been "foated" and are now be-
ing "floated" Nevada has made good. -
The number OF undoubtedly merito-
rous properties, undoubtedly mer-
itorious because they have fur
nished the pay ore, are doing so
now, and from all appearances will
continue to do SO for an indefinite pc
Rod, exceeds by an hundred fold the
record of any new mining region. To
the l.. M. Sullivan Company belongs
the chief credit for the prominence of
Nevada and the real solid paying
mines which have astonished the world
during the past twelve months. Sulli
van didn't put the gold in the ground,
but he let the people know that the
gold was there waiting for those who
had enterprise enough to go and get
it. That's all Sullivan has done, but
it's good deal. Enough to have

Result of Their Trial for Conspiracy and
Bribery in Postofice Cases.

former state Senator George E Green. OF New
York and Willard d. Doremus. or this city,
marks the climax of a trial that has consumed
four weeks in the District Supreme Court Ihey
were tried under indictments charging conspir-
acy and bribery in connection with the sale OF
stamp canceIling machines TO the government for
the postal service These were the only charges
against Mr. Doremus. Mr.. Green was tried some
time ago on charges of conspiracy in connection
with the sale of time recorders TO the Postofflce
Department and was acquitted
The charges under which Messrs. Green ana
Doremus were tried. and of which they were to-
day found not guilty, were based on the allega-
tions that they entered into a conspiracy with
George w. Beavers, former chief of the division
of salaries and allowances IN the PostOfice De-
partment. by which they agreed TO pay him SO
for each cance1tng machine manufactured by
the Doremus Machine Company and sold to the
government for the Postoftice Department
through the procurement of Beavers.
The trial begun four weeks ago, and q
vast amount of testimony was introduced by the
government. The evidence of the defence was
put in in two and a half days. A large number
of witnesses were called on behalf of the de-
fenGant Green. including justices of the Supreme
Court of the State Of New York, who testified to
his high character. He has been Mayor of Bing-
hamton, his home town. canal commissioner and
State Senator
The jury found Green and Doremus not guilty
on both the charges of conspiracy and bribery.

ASKS REPORT ON SUITS.
Senator Long Wants Information
about Trust" Cases.

Washington, June Ex-senator Long intro
duced in the Senate to-day a resolution calling
on the Attorney General for a statement of all
suits brought under the Sherman Antitrust
law and the Interstate Commerce law, together
with the facts as to their disposition
When the resolution was presented Senator
Foraker moved an amendment to make it cover
suits brought under the Elbins law In support
Of his amendment Mr.. Foraker said he was sat
ished that the statement would show that the
Elkins law covered every evil of which anv
human being has made complaint since this rail-
road discussion began" He cited decisions rn-
der the law, including that handed down IN the
federal court at Kansas City yesterday
Senator Bailey said that. so far as he had
been able 10 determine some Of the parties TO
the combination alleged had been convicted
while others had not been He could not under
stand how one party to a conspiracy could be
considered guilty and the other not but said
''If the courts will follow this verdict by putting
in prison every man who has violated the law
they will have done much to vindicate the law"
Yes, indeed" responded Mr.. Foraker land
that is what 1 have been contending for for the
last five or six months" He declared that If
enforced the Elkins act would prove remedy
for all rebates and determinations He called
attention 10 the fact that complaints are to be
fled under the law, said the Interstate Com
merce Commission was now doing the best work
it had ever done in taking off the Hd," and
closed with the declaration that the failure of
the conference on the Railroad Rate bill would
be the most fortunate thing that could happen
for the country, because "a more unnecessary or
