be better than ever qualified to
serve the state during his second

STEVENS ARRIVES
But Denies Report That President
Has Sent for Him in Canal
Matters.

New York, May 25.-Absolutely re-
fusing to believe the report that he
had been summoned to return to this
country by President Roosevelt be-
cause the chief executive refused to
accepted his proffered resignation as
chief engineer of the Panama canal
John f. Stevens reached this city on
the steamer Advance from Colon. Mr..
Stevens will go at once to Washington
where Chairman Theodore p. Shonts,
of the canal commission, now is. AL
though Mr.. Stevens would not talk
about the matter some of his fellow
cabin passengers were outspoken in
their declaration that Mr.. Stevens
came home because President Roose-
welt wanted to see him and some of
them declared that it was common
gossip on the isthmus that Mr. Shonts
is to retire as the head of the COM
mission.
Asked point blank the question:
why did you come back to the United
States at this timer" Mr.. Stevens smil-
ed and replied:
"Oh, l suppose Mr.. Shonts wants to
talk over with me my estimate that
$21 100000 will be required for the ex-
pense of the coming fiscal year. Out
side of that l don't know of any rea-
son why the commissioner wants TO
see me-"
That was as far as Mr.. Stevens
would go in discussing his presence
here. On the subject of the canal it
self, he was enthusiastic.
I'VE are doing finely" he declared,
"and l am satisfied with the progress
we have made. There is no fever on
the isthmus and everything is pro-
ceeding as well as is to be expected. %

BANK TELLER FOUND
SHORT $4,000, GONE.

Milwaukee. Wis, May 24.-Arthur
G. Reinke. assistant receiving teller
in the Marshall & Ilsley bank, is a
defaulter for $4,000 and is missing.
He is under bonds of $4,000 and the
balance of the amount stolen has been
guaranteed to the bank which will,
therefore suffer no loss.
Early in the week information was
received from Chicago by one of the
bank officers that young Reinke was
in the habit of spending his Sundays
frequently in that city and was spend
ing money there rather lavishly.
An examination of his books showed
that he had stolen $4,000, mostly
from one account, and had falsified the
clearing house returns to cover the
theft. When the discovery was made
messengers were at once sent to
Reinkes house, where it was learned
that he had not been there since noon.

BAD BLOW
At the Beef TrusrGiven
by the Senate nPass-
ing the Agricultural
Bill-To Irs. esGt,PIants.

Washington, May s25.NThe senate,
late this afternoon, passed the agricul-
tural appropriation BILL, after adopt
ing an amendment proy.s,ng for q
governmental, inspection of all pack
ing houses engaged in an interstate
commerce business. This Is bad
blow at the beef trust. Heretofore
inspectors have only been placed at
export houses, which, in the main,
belong to the trust AS many cities
in the United States will permit only
the purchase of government inspected
goods. the trust has held Theses mar
kets as monopoly. The amendment
extends to "all slaughtering, canning,
sailing, packing, rendering, or simil-
liar establishments engaged In inter-
state commerce. The goods found fit
for consumption, must be so labelled,
and those found to be impure. unsound,
unhealthy, or otherwise unfit for food,
must be destroyed in the presence
of the inspectors. The secretary OF
agriculture may have examined before
slaughter, all cattle. sheep, swine and
goats.
An appropriation of fifteen thousand
dollars for crop experiments in the
arid regions of the west, was adopted.
Mr.. McCumber( N. d. failed in his
efforts to have governmental certif-
Gates issued on grain shipments, but
not before he had charged that the
work of the Minnesota grain commits
sion was in the interests of the grain
elevator men Of that state.
The Philippine coinage bill was also
passed. 1t authorizes the Philippine
commission to reduce the amount OF
silver in Philippine silver coins, SO
that the bullion value shall not ex-
ceed the face value of the coins.

A GREAT PLOT

ing Evidence.
ing Evidence.

Philadelphia, May 25.-Declaring
that the Pennsylvania railroad had
deliberately plannel to wreck inde-
pendent coal companies, f. Albert Won
Boyneburgh, coas operator. who was
witness before the interstate COM
merce commission this afternoon,
which is investigating the Wholesale
grating in favored coal company
stock by employees and officers OF the
Pennsylvania railroad and as well as
favoritism and discrimination stated
that he had been frozen out by orders,
but that somebody way UP gave up
these orders"
You believe, then, that officials of
the road high up gave those orders?"
asked William A. Glasgow, Jr.,' coun-
sci for the commission.
Il do. believe Alexander j. Cas-
satt is the man responsible. / also
believe that he controls the Reading,
the Baltimore G. Ohio, the ChAsa-
peake & Ohio and the Norfolk and
Western railroads through the COM
munity of interest plan. The combi-
nation is what has caused all these
big favored coal companies to grow
up and crush out the Independent oper-
ator."
DIDN'T WEIGH COAL.
Won Boyneburgh also declared that
many fayors were shown the White
company, the. Pennsylvania railroad
going so far as to refrain from weigh
ing its coal, an exception to rule
which no other shipper received.
Only a few more Pennsylvania rail-
road men with coal stock. some or
which cost them nothing, were discov-
cred. One of these was M. A. Reeves,
a clerk in the Office of Vice President
Pugh.

TRUE BILLS
Returned Against Nearly
Every Bridge Concern
in the State-Robber
Prices are Exposed by
Grand Jury.

Lima, O., May 25.-The Allen coun-
ty grand jury reported late this after
noon after IL day session, most
of the time being occupied in delving
into the workings of the so-cailed
bridge trust of the state, it's meth
DDS of doing business and the enorm-
GUS prices paid by the county for
structural steel. Among the true bills
returned were those against every
bridge manufacturing concern in the
state and three ex-county commas
sioners, viz. Thomas G. Burns, AL
bert Hefner and George Kanawhl.
The sensational part of the work
done by the jury is given In its spec
ial report which Is In part as fol-
lows:
The attention of the grand jury was
called to the co-called bridge trust and
its operations In Allen county and
after careful investigation we find
that on the 18th day of June, 1897,
there was such trust formed for
purpose of destroying all competition
In the sale of steel highway bridges
and that pools were made by the var
ious companies, whenever a contract
was to be let and that they knew who
was the successful bidder before the
bids were opened and that the pool
was sometimes divided prior to that
time.
We find that the cost OF a steel
structure ranges from $50 to $72 per
ton and that in one county was sold
as low as 1920 per ton while Allen
county paid as high as s27O per ton
for some of their bridges and the
general average was about s125 per
ton. 1t was also found that in the
cost of iron pipes for oulverts, which
can be purchased for from $25 to $50
per ton the county has been paying
during the years of 1901 to 1904 as
high as $57 per ton.

to fight the blaze were inadequate,
and the resort was at the mercy OF the
flames.
SO hot were the flames that firemen
dropped insensible and had to be car
ried from the scene and revived.
Many jumped into the lagoon to drown
out the fire on their clothing
