POINT FOR MRS. HARTJE.
Husbands Witness In Divorce Suit
Testifies For Her.

Husbands Witness In Divorce Suit
Testifies For Her.
Pittsburg, July 28.-Talking too free
ly for the purpose for which she was
called to the stand, Susie Wagner, one
of Augustus Hartje's most important
witnesses in the divorce suit against
Mary Scott Hartje, gave an opening to
John M. Freeman, Mrs. Hartje's
attorney, which he was quick to turn
into an important point for the de-
fense. She admitted she had received
three letters from Mrs. Hartje instead
of the two to which the plaintiffs coun-
sci alone had referred and that the ex-
ira letter was in the possession of Ed
ward G. Hartje the plaintiffs brother,
two months earlier than the disputed
missiye known as exhibit No. @. AS
Freeman had contended from the first
that exhibit No. 6 was a skillful for
gerry constructed on the lines of let
ter Mrs. Hartje did write, but with
omissions and insertions altering the
character of the communication, the
Importance of the Wagner woman's
admission was seen at once.
The Wagner girl was maid in the
Hartje household. 1t Is the position of
the defense that Mrs. Hartie wrote to
her only to ascertain If the girl would
testify for the defense in the divorce
action. The plaintiff asserts that Mrs.
Hartjes letters-one of them, at any
rate-had different purpose, and
much capital has been made of ex-
hibit No. 6 by j. Scott Ferguson,
HartJe's lawyer. Susie, by weakening
the plaintiffs position In that particu
lar, did his case more harm than good,
1t Is believed. Certainly Hartje's at
torneys seemed greatly disconnected
by the unexpected turn of the testi-
mony, while Freeman appeared elated
in proportion.
Professor W. A. Drake, the Chicago
expert for Hartje, said the contest over
the handwriting In the case had been
the longest and hardest fought since
the famous Junius letters written in
England more than century ago.
In order that she should not be sub
jected to further annoyance at the
hands of rowdies, three detectives
guarded Mrs. Hartje while she was in
the street

Comparisons of the volume of current
business with results at the correspond
ing date in the previous years are so
uniformly favorable that the outlook
can only be regarded with confidence.
Semiannual statements are now suffi-
GENTLY complete to make 1t certain that
the first half of 1906 was the most
prosperous six months period in the
nations history, and unless heavy can
cellations occur the last half of the
year will establish a still higher record.
Building operations are extensive and
would be much greater if the cost Of
labor and materials had not caused the
abandonment of many plans.

UNCLE SAM SUES FOR LAND
Accuses State of Utah of Being impli-
Gated In Fraud.

ACCUSES stare OF Otan OF Beln9 impil-
Gated In Fraud.
Salt Lake City, Utah, July 2S.-Four
suits for the recovery of 10000 acres
of valuable coal lands alleged to have
been acquired from the United States
by fraud were filed in the United
States district court. Attorney General
Moody and District Attorney Hiram
E. Booth appear as complaints and the
Pleasant Valley Coal company, the
Utah Fuel company and their officers
as defendants.
The state of Utah, according to one
of the complaints, "by and through the
failure of certain of its officers and
agents to safeguard its interests" is
made to appear as an active party to
a gross fraud upon complainant. This
fraud consisted, the complaint alleges,
in the selection and sale by the state
as agricultural and grazing lands of
J md that was known to be immensely
valuaEie for its coal contents. The
Utah land board, it is alleged, not only
failed to make any inspection of these
lands, but certified to the United States
land Office that they were nonmineral
lands.
The government asks for decree de-
claring the present titles to the land
null and void and for a Judgment for
the coal wrongfully extracted by the
coal companies. The stock of the Utah
Fuel company, which has absorbed the
Pleasant Valley, is held by Rio Grande
railroad interests.

stantly growing number Of persons
who applied for and were found to be
entitled to the pensions, and the steel
millionaire decided to increase the fund

finally robbed of his earnings.
All of this the employment agent
