NEW CITIZEN PAPERS GOOD
HaturaIiEatiOns Under 1908 Law Will
Not Have 20 he Made

Persons who have taken out naturaliza~
ton papers in Douglas county since the law
OF 1903 went into effect will be relieved to
learn their papers are good and will not
have 10 be taken out anew. In many OF
the courts OF the country, It is reported. the
new provisions OF the 1908 law were not
compiled with and in all such cases the
papers will have 10 be taken out again
under the new law which goes into effect in
September
The law OF 1903 was passed just after the
assassination OF President Mckinley and
Il provided an addition to the oath taken
by the applicaSt for citizenship. The new
oath is to the effect he does not belong to
any anarchistic organization and Is not op-
posed to all forms Of government. A num-
Der Of the courts issuing papers did not
conform 20 the new law, but according TO
Deputy Clerk Gallagher OF the Douglas
county district court the new provisions
have been complied with since the law
went into effect.

SCALPERS BLAME RAILROADS
Ticket Brokers Say They Have Always
Had Cooperation of Trans
pOrtatIon Lines.

Get the business, but don't get caught"
Ticket brokers in legal warfare with
the railroads make af1davit that this has
been the common injunction given them by
the railroads for years and declare but
for the railroads aid we could not have re-
manned in business these years" ]. ].
Philbin in his testimony stated he and other
brokers were frequently furnished by the
railroads with ''notransferable" tickets with
the direction to fill in fictitious names In
order that the roads might obtain business
over competing lines
These are some OF the developments in
the case wherein the railroads are seeking
10 have the ticket brokers enjolned by the
federal court. Judge ]. NJ Garland OF
Sioux Falls is presiding in the absence OF
Judge Munger.
The plaintiff railways are the Union Pa
cihc, Northwestern. Rock Island Chicago
Great Western, Burlington. Illinois Central
and Milwaukee. The defendants are ]. ].
Philbin, Philip H. Philbin Ed Murphy and
the Ticket Brokers' association representa-
tives both in Omaha and Lincoln.
The contention OF the railroads Is that
their business is seriously damaged through
the sales OF tickets by brokers and scalp
ers, and that they frequently sign the
names OF others than the original purchas-
ers OF the nontransferabie tickets to such
tickets, thereby committing a fraud.
The ticket brokers claim they have been
In business in Omaha from twenty to thirty
years, engaged in handling these tickets
with the full consent of the railroads and
TO grant the prayer Of the railroads at this
time would destroy the business of the
ticket brokers and compel them 10 seek
other lines OF business. In one of the am
davits It is admitted that the name Of other
than tho original purchaser OF a nontrans-
ferable ticket was signed to such ticket by
the broker, but that It was authorized by
the railroads and that he had been fire.
quently solicited to sell such tickets and
had been furnished such tickets.
Practically all of Monday was devoted to
the reading OF the several affidavits and
petitions, of which there are large num-
Der filed by both the railroads and the
brokers. The case will not go to argument
until Tuesday.

murkable showing made by the omaha
Grain exchange for July OF this year ms
compared with the same month OF last
year.
The figures, which have just been COM
piled by Secretary McVann. show receipts
of $4,000 bushels for the month just
closed. while for July OF last year tho
amount received was l,5lS,0O0 bushels.
The greater part of this increase is due
to the earlier movement of wheat, only
$4,000 bushels OF which came to Omaha
in July of 1905, as against 2,225,2OO BUSH
els for July of 1906. Corn and oats show
slight increases.
On account of the fact that through
July the local shippers we're holding
their grain to take advantage OF the low
tariffs east in August the shipments for
July this year were but little in excess Of
last year, the figures being i,Se5,5oo BUSH

HARD ON NAVY BACHELORS.
Deprived OF Servant Allowance by a
TechnicaIity.

Brooklyn, n. Y, June 27.-Bach-
elor naval officers who are on duty
at the navy yard in this city, and at
some of the other naval stations, are
seriously affected by the decision that
the government will not allow any
extra commutation to the servants
they employ. 1t has been the practice
to draw what is known as commut-
ed ration allowance. to be paid to
servants employed in messes organ
ized by the unmarried officers on duty
at naval stations as well as on board
ship.
Hereafter officers messes on shore
will not be permitted to make use of
this commuted ration money, which
amounts to SO a month per man. The
allowance will be continued in be-
half of servants employed by officers
messes on board ship. The distinction
is the result of technical construc-
ton of law. There is no remedy
short of changing the phraseology OF
the law, and it is too late in the ses-
sion to accomplish this, even if such
change were possible.

NINE CONTERFE|TERs UNDER ARREST

Nine men who have operated one of
the most successful counterfeiting
plants ever known in the northwest,
are now under arrest in Huntington
and vicinity. The counterfeiting plant
was located on the Bastin ranch, five
miles below Huntington on the Snake
river, and was in charge of A. r.
Coon and Joe Hansen. Coon has
been resident of Huntington for 20
years and six years ago was sent to
the penitentiary for counterfeiting, but
his plant was not located. Hansen is
also an ex-convict and together these
men located and constructed the
plant.
The money made by the counterfeit
ers was all in Sc and $40 gold pieces
and was shipped out to the larger
cities for distribution. The Portland
agent for the counterfeiters was ]. II.
Williams, noted counterfeiter who
served a term in Sing Sing for the
crime several years ago.
Coon Is one of the most skilled
counterfeiters in the United States,
and when the bogus money began to
appear in the large cities secret SER
vice agents placed detectives to watch
Coon.
They soon found that he was oper-
ating an extensive plant and on Mon

day night Captain Bell and Lieuten-
ant Foster, of the secret service and
Marshal John Harmon, OF Hunting
ton. planned the arrest of both Coon
and Hansen.
When the counterfeiters appeared
in Huntington in the evening they
were placed under arrest and while
they were held in the city the detec-
tivcs who had been shadowing the
plant, captured the entire outfit on
the Bastin ranch, making a complete
capture Of an elaborate outfit and
considerable coin.
Later another of the gang was ar
rested in Boise City and today five
more partners are under arrest in
Huntington. Williams, the Portland
agent, was also placed under arrest
yesterday evening and it now looks
like complete capture of the entire
gang and outfit.
Very little of the coin made by the
gang was circulated in eastern Ore
gon. Most of it was sent to Portland.
The imitation is excellent. Coon and
Williams are experts at the trade and
the coins manufactured were so per-
feet that they passed current without
suspicion, unless very closely scruti-
nizcd.
