ington had suppressed evidence secured
by him.
In two charges which he filed against
Robert Forester, geologist OF the Utah
Fuel company, he alleged no action
was taken. The witness further alleged
that George r. Pollock, chief of de-
partment b. interior department. in
structed him TO destroy four affidavits
which he had made against the Union
Pacific Coal company.
Mr.. Myendorffs affidavit goes at
length into the methods of the coal
companies in securing coal lands by
locations through dummies who trans
ferred their rights to the corporations.
seventy-seven Bogus slsners
Myendorff's afndavit alleges that on
one occasion seventy-seven men were
taken into the offices in the union de-
pot at Denver before w. I. Clifford,
agent of the Union Pacific, and signed
their names to powers Of attorney, re-
linquishments and affidavits which
were used to acquire title to coal lands
I'm Wyoming. Some of these men II
was asserted signed fictitious names.
The men who signed received 81 each
for their trouble.
The Myendorff affidavit includes af-
fidavits made by Denver saloon
keeper named Bartelle and Victor Lee
bat, an expressman of Denver, stat
ing how a wagonload of these men had
been picked up on Seventh street IN
Denver and driven to the offices i'm the
union depot. After they had signed the
papers Bartelle collected 81 from each
man for his trouble In getting them to-
gether, each man retaining 50.
In his reference to Senators Warren
and Clark tie affiant states that on
one occasion when he met Senator
Warren in Denver the senator produced
confidential letters which Myendorff
had written to the land commissioner
in Washington and read extracts from
them.
Myendorff alleged that it was re-
ported to him that to stir up the
Wwoming coal lands at that time
would incur the enmity of the Union
Pacific in this and prevent the re-eec-
ton of Senator Clark.
Myendorff alleged that he was re-
moved from Denver in 1906 as a result
of his activities. and that pressure was
brought to have the Wyoming lands
turned over to Inspector N. j. O'Brien
of Denver whom the affidavit described
as a confidential friend of Macy, chief
clerk of the department at Washington,
and also a personal friend of Senator
Warren. Senator Clark also, he al
legged, wanted OBrien located on this
work
Counsel for the Union Pacific con-
tended that all the matter contained III
the affidavits be stricken out but the
motion was overruled and the affidavits
will be included in the report to con-
gress.

hits and one on a base on balls. Mont
gomery was the only one of the visitors
to get to second base.

pearance with the Birmingham team and
took to his new job like ducks to pond.
He handled himself nicely both in the
field and at the bat. getting one of the
TWO hits recorded against Fisher.
Shreveport's first run was made in the
initial inning when Evans walked, went
To second on Byrne's sacrifice and scored
on Clarks triple to right.
Two more runs were added by the locals

The Pirates scored another run in the
eighth inning when Daley. first up. hit
safe to center, went to third on Oyler 8

Remy Gets Ten Years.

Helena, April 16.-Camille Fred
eric Remey, convicted on the charge
of manslaughter for the killing of
Wasson J. oliver. was today sentenced
by Judge Smith TO serve 10 years in
the penitentiary at Deer Lodge Judge
Smith prefaced the sentence with a
brief statement to the effect that he
thought that the verdict was in the
nature of a compromise. and that Re
mey was therefore fortunate to es
cape with the lightest form of con
victon for homicide.
Remey, when asked If he had any
thing TO say, replied in the negative
as did his counsel. Remey was slighlS
nervous but his features portrayed NJ
emotion
County Attorney I.acroiX announced
that he would file an information
against Remey charging grand larcen.
for the alleged theft of divers ei
fects. This will be done befor his re
moval to the penitentiary.

Wants jeff to Fiaht Again.

New York, April 16.-On the
strength of the recent court order de-
Gliding that twenty-round bouts are
legal in the state of Pennsylvania,
Tom O'Rourke, the fight promoter, is
planning a mammoth boxing carnival
for his new boxing club at Essington,
Pa, which has set the boxing frater-
nifty here thinking. O'Rourke is to
have champion Jim Jeffries come east
Immediately and settle the question
between the six heavyweights who are
now claiming the heavyweight title
since the retirement of the champion.
O'Rourke has wired Jeffries an offer
of 100000 to come east and meet
Fitzsimmons, Rubin, Burns, Hart,
O'Brien and Kaufman one week apart.
O'Rourke expects to hear from JEFF
fries soon and in the event of his re-
ply being a favorable one, O'Rourke
will go ahead and make all arrange
ments for what promises to be one OF
the biggest fistic tournaments ever
held in this country. O'ROurke has
in view several other championship
battles which he hopes to land fo1
his new club.
"How about Nelson and Gans?"
Nothing doing" said O'Rourke
''You couldn't get Nelson in the same
ring with Cans. Nelson has been tolt
to look out for Cans and he is afraiG
of him. They may say what they
please, but that is the truth
