Problem of Outstanding Food
Supplies Before San Fran
cisco Authorities.
GOVERNMENT MONEY GONE
RIGID ECONOMY is NOW NEcEs-
SARY.

San Francisco May 5.-An important
conference. devoted to the problem of
outstanding food supplies. was held at the
Preside today. Among those in attend
ance were General Greedy, General Fun
ston. DR.. Devine and Allan PoIIak The
situation, as made public during the com
mlttee meeting last Thursday, was dis
cussed In all its details, and all present
agreed that rigid economy should be prac-
tfced in future distribution. At the con-
clusiOn of the conference General Greedy
said:
Appropriation Exhausted.
The condition of the food supply will
render it possible to issue very little eX-
tatoes, coffee and rice Meat we are buy
ing in small quantities. / have been Of
nctally notified that the appropriation of
$25OOOOO has been exhausted in the pur-
chase of supplies, and 1 may state that
the money allotted to my use is gone
for the same purpose. It has been agreed
carefully husbanded in order that they
may be diverted into the proper chan
nel9 for as long period possible.
We are issuing but two-thirds of the
quantity of food that was distributed
prior to the time the regular army took
charge of the system. The teams en-
gagged in hauling and distribution have
been reduced from 500 to 262 in number.
The last official report showed that sup
plies were issued on Thursday to 261 OO0
people. I hope that today's report will
show rattons issued to less than 100000.
Evidence of Repeating.
1.-The census of each district is being
carefully computed. 1 am convinced that
there is regular repeating, and since
thousands of men are reported to have
obtained employment, there should be a
material reduction III the number of
those entitled to relief. 1 am willing to
put on the screws and diminish the food
supply at any time, but 1 shall not take
such a step until am so advised by the
committee.
I'VE have recommended the patrona ge
OF cheap restaurants, which may be To-
Gated in many places throughout the city
and are certain to prosper. BY furnish
will be assured of support by the work
ing population and will greatly relieve
the situation"

NO ACCOUNTING ASKED.

lute,y Secret.

New fork-A letter which former

on the day of his death, in which he

The letter says:
Hamilton was employed by me In
1895 in behalf of the company TO at
tend especially to matters of taxation
and Legislation in the United States
and other countries, affecting the COM
pany's interests.
He refused to accept the duty un-
less it was made confidential and Sc
cret, and that no accounting or
moneys advanced TO him should be
asked of him or rendered by him, and
assented to the proposition.
He told me that this condition he
would impose as an absolute one, and
unless it was accepted he would not
undertake the work
whether my action was legal or not
it will be left for others to say / be-
lieve it was, and that l was clothed
with full power to act, and that the
interests of the company and the pol
icyholders demanded that steps of this
nature be taken.'

sLAMss THE DISPATCHER.
Story Told by Telegraph Operator
Lively,

Louisville, ky.-Eugene Lively, aud
itor In the local freight office OF the
Louisville & Nashville railroad, and a
brother of Frank S. Lively. whose nap
at the telegraph key caused the recent
wreck on the Denver & Rio Grande
near Adobe, Colorado, which cost many
lives, Thursday afternoon gave out a
statement tending to exonerate his
brother from all blame and to throw
some light on the system of operating
the road.
Frank Lively is at his home in Nun
fordsville, this state, and while refus
ing to be interviewed himself, author
lied his brother to make the following
statement:
MY brother" said Eugene Lively.
went on duty at a. m. and worked
all day. The night operator was in
Pueblo. At 6 o'clock Frank asked for
relief, but was refused, the train dis
patcher not allowing him to go to sup
per. Three times that night he asked
to be relieved. saying he was sleepy.
Each time he was refused relief.
Shortly after midnight he fell
asleep, but was awakened by passing
trains. The dispatcher asked him Il:
No. 3 had passed. and he told him 4.
had not, as up to that time he had
heard every train that did pass. After
this he went to sleep in earnest and
then the dispatcher asked him to copy
orders for No. 3. Frank did not know
IL No. 3 had passed and SO told the
dispatcher, adding that he did not
want to take the orders for train he
was not certain about. He protested
vigorously, but the dispatcher over
ruled his objections and directed him
to take the order.
"a few minutes later the train came
by and lie handed the order to the
engineer and conductor and was In

ahead of that train. My brother then
informed the dispatcher that No. had

Frank Lively has no intention of 60

nation is desired. He blames in a
large measure the system of the road
for the disaster. which allows trains to
pass unless stopped by certain lights.
We hold that the train dispatcher is
more to blame than Frank"

of Tom Dawson, private secretary TO

of H. p. Lively. state senator from
Hart county during the long session OF
the Legislature following the adoption
of the present constitution in 1892.

GOVERNORS DENIAL.
Did Not Issue Proclamation to Labor
Unions,

Boise. Idaho.-The authenticity OF
what purported to be a proclamation
addressed by Governor Frank r. Good
ing ITO the labor unions of the United
States,' in relation to the prosecution
of Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone, is
denied by Governor Gooding. In an
interview, Governor Gooding said:
"In an interview with newspaper
writer yesterday suggested that If the
labor organizations In place OF passing
inflammatory resolutions. in which the
prosecution is denounced and vote OF
confidence in the innocence of the men
is adopted, would ondeavor to inves-
tigate the charges agoinst these men,
and suspend action until that time, a
better understanding would prevail and
a better feeling exist
Il said that If proper committees
were appointed to make this investiga.
tion and the men were acting In good
faith, l should favor their being given
every opportunity to satisfy them
selves as to whether or not the state
was justified in holding these men ac-
countaole for the crimes committed,
even to the extent of letting them
meet Orchard"
j. H. Hawley, chief counsel for the
prosecution, states that under no con.
sideration will any one be shown the
confes sion or any other testimony.
The governor adds:
My attention has been called to a
dispatch In a Denver paper stating that
/ had issued proclamation addressed
to the labor unions of the United
States, requesting them to send dele
cations to this city and that | would
be pleased to allow these delegations
to meet Harry Orchard personally and
have him tell his story as he told it to
Detective Mcfarland. l am also
quoted as saying you can remember
that shall have the power as COVER
nor to hear your grievances and to pre-
vent any miscarriage of Justice.
Il have issued no proclamation and
no such statement was ever made by
me. What did say was that regret
ted very much that some of the labor
unions had decided to pass such radi-
cal resolutions, copies of which have
been sent me-"

THE FISHING CASE.
NOT so BAD AS 1T MIGHT BE
Though Property 10 Protected From
Tresspass, Owners Are Not
All CurmudQeons.

II is to be hoped that the fishermen
of the state will accept the final decis-
ion Of the Supreme Court in the fish
case in the proper spirit, and that
there will be no attempt at foolish
measures of so-called retaliation, says
the Leadville Herald-Democrat. We
see 1t stated that some sportsmen had
declared that IL the decision was
against the fishermen they would IN
stitute other proceedings and drive the
state fish commission out of business.
All this would be extremely unwise,
because 1t would injure the fishermen
themselves and accomplish no good re-
suit.
AS matter OF fact the decision OF
the Supreme Court in the case prop
erly understood Is not against the fish
ermen. 1t is the simple assertion on
the part of the court of the rights of
property and its protection against
tresspass. 1t does not necessarily fol-
low that every owner OF property
through which trout stream mean.
ders Is going to post dogs and senti-
nels so as to keep fishermen away. 1t
doesn't imply that every ranchman in
the state is crusty old curmudgeon
who intends to play the dog in the
manger. But 1t does assert that when
fisherman is on private land indulS-
ing in his favorite sport that he is
there as privilege and not as right.
If he attends strictly to his fishing and
has some regard for the property and
crops of the rancher 1t is hardly likely
that one individual in thousand will
make objection.
The Pueblo Chieftain sums up the
situation thus:
IF the fishermen had always been
reasonably and decently considerate of
the rights of the land owners, it is
probable that this question would
never have been brought into tho
courts. But where the fisherman
breaks down fences, leaves gates open,
turns stock into meadows, or tramps
through grain fields, 1t is not surpris-
ing that the ranchmen should seek
some remedy, and the fact Is that
things had come to pass in some val
leys in this state, that 1t seemed to be
a question as to which has the greater
right on the farm, the owner or the
fisherman"
The Herald Democrat would sugges
that In case any ranchman shows dis
position to be mean with the decent
sportsman that the case be reported to
the local Sportsmen's Association and
the name be posted so as to give fair
warning in order that the churl be
given wide berth.

Insurance Fraud Cases.

Cripple Creek. Colo.-The cases
against Mrs. Bessie McEachern,
Frank and Sarah Maudlin and Lutte
Kellogg, originally named with j. j.
McEachern and John Varley, charging
conspiracy to, defraud and obtain
money under false pretenses, on the
first of which the two defendants now
stand convicted. were nollied Thurs
day by the district attorney The
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses still holds against McEach-
ern and Varley. This ends the famous
insurance cases which followed the at
tempt to obtain $1,000 insurance
money through blowing up body, rep
resenting 1t to be McEacherns.

Victim Of SnoWsIide.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Buena Vista Thureday night says:
Harry Weisenborn of Vicksburg, a lit
tie mining town between Granite and
Winfield in the Clear Creek district,
twenty-eight miles from this place. was
killed some time yesterday by the
largest snowside within the history
of Chaffee county. A rescue party.
headed by James Ball, left Granite at
daylight this morning and returned to-
night, but was unable to find the body.
The search will be continued for day
or two, or until the searchers are as
sured the remains are not near the
surface.

Illinois A. o. U. w. Raises Rates.

Chicago.-The Illinois grand lodge
officers of the Ancient Order OF United
Workmen decided at meeting here to
raise the insurance rates OF the order
for members more than fifty-hve years
old. The increase will make the rates
thirty-five per cent. higher than at
present. The cause for the action was
the inability to meet death claims that
have accrued during the past three
months. The officers believe that with
the additional funds from the increased
rate the outstanding claims will be
met, and hope that they will soon be
able to return to the old schedule.

GET RID OF THE GAS
Or. Williams Pink Pills Strengthen
the Stomach and Enable 1t to
Do Its Work.

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter.
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such rs dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish Just as soon Us the stomach IS
made strong enough to digest the food:
In other words, it needs tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment.
Miss Minerva @. Ladd, of Ipswich,
Mass, says: "I had weak stomach
from the time I was n little child.
Whenever took hearty food it would
cause terrible faintness, and 1 would
finally vonit what 1 had eaten. A,

The distress was often so great that l
could hardly bear it, and the frequent
