Manager Harlan of Jackson Lumber
 Company is Acquitted.
 Pensacola, Fla, Dec. s.-(Special. )- At Il. 30 o'clock tonight after being out for more than four hours, the jury re- turned and presented yer lict in the celebrated case of W. S. Harlan ct al., charged with conspiracy to commit peonage, which has been on trial in the United States Court for the past twelve days, Manager Harlan, and the foreman and superintendents were tried upon this general indictment or the grand jury and five were acquit- ted, the three convicted being Messrs. Gallagher, Grace and sandor' ana ex- onorating five others the verdict, De- ing a compromise as to .1anagers Har- Ian. "A
 The case came to a close, so far as the taking of testimony was concerned, late last night, Manager W. s. liar Ian being the last witness to be ex- amined, his testimony was in rebuttal of the statements by Operator Satter- white, to the effect that witnss had heard conversation between Harlan and Dr. Grace, in which Harlan had told Grace to go after the foreigner, Miha- ley, and when he was captured to give him a bad scare and perhaps it would stop some of the others from leaving.
 This was emphatically denied by Manager Harlan who Sald ne had no recollection of ever having a conYer- sation with Dr. Grace regarding the foreigner and certainly not to give in- structions to him of such nature. This morning the arguments began, Assistant Tistrict Attorney Reese open ing for the government
 The court limited the prosecution and defense to three hours each, and Attorney Reese consumed about an hour of this time in the opening ad- dress to the jury and was followed by Chief Counsel Tourney.
 This afternoon Judge Reeves. who was called into the case recently, de- livered one of the most powerful arr guments for the defense heard in the court room during the present term. District Attorney Shepard had the cos ing argument of the day and his speech was an excellent effort, comprehensive ly detailing and recalling ther principal points of the testimony for the gov- ernment.
 At o'clock Judge Swayne charged the jury, his charge was a lengthy one and consumed nearly an hour. In 1t he explained peonage and what constitute conspiracy to commit peonage the of- fense with which the men are charged, the case then was placed in the hands of the jury and an adjournment taken fo rsupper. At o'clock the jury re- turned to the court room and began the consideration of a verdict in the case coming to a decision at 11:l0.

Bishop Wipes Out the
 Slate.
Pastors and Presiding Elders are BOth Up in Air as to Where They VIII spend Next
 Year.
BY MRS. l.. ". WRIGHT.

EufauIa, Dec, S.-(Special.) )---Sinee the relieved situation in the minds of the majority of the members of the Alabama Conference concerning the combining of educational forces of the North Alabama Conference and the Alabama Conferences, by the adoption of the report of the Joint commission Friday, the subject of greatest import at this time is the appointment of the preachers for the coming year.
 Bishop Duncan inferred from the rostrum yesterday that the work of appointments had been virtually com pleted. but because of interferences "as fs usual" some of the work would have to be done over.
 Tn the words Of one of the preachers. } ssthe slate is broken" A number of the preachers are up in the air" and the majority are on the anxious seat. It is open talk that the appointment of Presiding Elders and preachers at this session of the Conference is proving a knotty problem, and that members of the cabinet are as anxious as the preachers. A great deal of speculation fa going on and if rumor has it right, there will be several changes in the Methodist Churches of Montgomery.
 ". F. Vandiver. Major R. E. Steiner. R. J. Chambers. Brooks Flowers. B. M Washburn and Judge W. H. Thomas are attending the Conference and are endeavoring to look after the Mont GomeEY end of the appointments.
 Appointments Announced Monday.
 The apointments will not be read out before Monday afternoon and possibly Monday night. The Bishop was earn estly solicited to hurry up the business of the Conference that he people might leave Eufaula Monday afternoon, but the Bishop refuses to commit himself on the subject of adjournment
 Some of the changes predicted for the churches at Montgomery will hard" ly be made, while some of the preach Montgomery will, in all probability, be moved to other charges.
 Rev. Henry T. Johnson, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Eufaula, and host of the Conference. is one of the most genial, whole-souled of the members of the Conference.
 To his Hnfailing sense of humor and flashes of wit and bright repartee, the Conference is indebted for many hearty laughs. That he possesses a wonderful amount of energy and his sense of re- sponslbility for the success of thG ocea- ion is evidenced by his ability to meet every demand made by committees and individuals upon his time and his hos pita1ity.
 The session was called to order this morning at o'clock by Bishop Dun- can. who presided during the entire time.
 Dr. Bertram Brown, rector of the Eufauia Episcopal Church. Dr. W. c. Lovett and Rev. J. L. Ballard of the South Georgia Conference and Dr. J.

 Washington, Dec. S.--An investiga- ton of the operation and management of the railroads controlled by James J. Hill and his associates, including the Northern Pacific, the Great North ern and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy is in contemplation by the In terstate Commerce Commission. The matter has been talked over by the commissioners and after certain preliminaries have been arranged and counsel for the Commission selected, formal announcement of the proposed inquiry will be made.
 As in the case of the proposed inves- tigatio of the management and control of the Southern Pacific roads of the Hartman system the inquiry Is not the outgrowth of any specific com plaints of violations of the interstate commerce law, but Is to be undertaken by virtue of the general inquisitorial powers conferred on the Commission by Congress,
 The inquiry will be a broad and com prehensive one with view to ascer- taining the actual condition of affairs regarding the railroads with relation to their compliance with the terms of the interstate commerce act. 4 mem ber of the Commission, in speaking of the proposed inquest. said:
 Although there has been outward compliance with the, decree of the Su' preme Court in dissolving the Northern Securities case yet there has been nc difference in the rates given to the public on its unified system"

 Conferences Funny Side.
 The Conference, with all it's burden of business and weight of dignity has its funny side, and many are the little laughable things which happen that are never known outside the charmed circle.
 An amusing story. the veracity of which is vouched for by one of the most prominent ministers in the Con- ference, is too good to keep.
 The pastor of the Methodist Church in a certain town of the Conference, is much beloved by his congregation. The said congregation were unanimous in their desire to have the said pastor re- turn to them for another year. So in accordance with the desire. they, as a congregation, delegated one of their members to go to Eufaula and "peti- tion for the return of their pastor to them"
 All the necessary paraphernalia, measuring up to the requirements of the importance of the commission, were gotten together, and In due time. spick and span, the said delegate alighted at the station at Bufaula. And right there his troubles began. He was sent to Eufaula to petition for the return of his pastor" but the question now arose in his mind, to whom was he to petit tion?
 It was a hazy proposition. He was completely lost. But only for a time, however, for bright idea struck him and he proceeded to act at once. and with neatness and dispatch he wrote and caused to be sent to the Hon. Mayor and Council of Eufaula' a pett-

tion setting forth the many spIendia qualities of the Rev. John Jones smith , the good work he had done in the church ac Pumpkinsville and the mum erous reasons assigned by his congre- pation why he should be returned to them.
 The petition was master piece of its kind, and should 1t have reached the Bishop and his cabinet would have met with instant approval however. our story teller did not seem to know what effect the moving appeal had on the stony hearts or the Hon. Mayor and Council of the town"
 It is possible that the Council ap- proved and the Mayor vetoed-and then it is just possible that, in such an event, the Council will see to it that the Rev. John Jones Smith goes d. rectly back to 'PumpkinsVille." The Eufaula Council may not stand for the foolish veto of its Mayor. ss ssis

ID TUNNEL MI. GRAHAM
Big Project for Developing Mines and Water Supply
 On Tapis Again.
WORK WAS COMMENCED
 THREE YEARS AGO.

Probably few people are aware that work has been resumed on the Fri umph Tunnel" site that is to pierce old Mount Graham; that five men have been at work for the past three months, and that work is progressing satisfactorily.
 About three years ago the work of tunneling into Graham Mountain was commenced. Previous to this, how ever, the best engineering talent in the country was secured to locate a site for a reservoir. The main ob- ject of the promoters was to secure an abundant flow of water from the depths of this mountain range. then store it in a mammoth reservoir from which could be generated power suf- ficient to run all machinery that would ever be needed in the Gila Valley. The engineers selected a splen- did site. which is known as the Fri umph Tunnel Site" and if the final object of the promoters are success ful, there will be enough water to sup ply every ranchman in the valley, be- sides generating power for the mills factories, etc, within a radius of sev- eral miles. Another important ob- iect the promoters have in view is
  Nearly every person who is acquainted with the Graham mountain knows that it contains rich mineral deposits which crop out in hundreds of places; and more than this, there have al ready been several promising claims located on this mountain, the ore from which runs well in gold, silver, copper and lead. If water is not found in quantities hoped for, a rich mine may be found, either of which would be of great benefit to this valley. The chances for finding the former is cer. tainly very good. During the driest times in past years water has been found in nearly all the canyons. where it bubbled forth from springs that sell com ever fail. Experts are of the opinion that somewhere south of the Graham Mountain, not far distant, is a large underground lake, which sup plies a vast area of country. It is positively known also, that the Sul- phur Spring Valley lies several hun dred feet above the Triumph tunnel site. That valley is known to contain almost an ineXhaustable supply of water; therefore, the chances are good that a stream from that source may be encountered.
 Less than two weeks ago, a gentle man representing an eastern syndicate arrived in Thatcher and at once pro ceeded to the tunnel site on a tour of investigation. He stated on his return that he had been sent out here by the company to investigate this proposi- tion; that he was in every way satis- fled with the prospects and took with him a lot of ore samples which had been found in the tunnel.

BlSBEE. April 13.-Today's market closed with plenty of stock offered and no bidders in sight. This was more or less expected on account of many brokerage houses being closed for Good Friday, and the same will be looked for tomorrow.

 Lake Superior & Pittsburg fell on q few points, and at the close was or fered freely at s3S. North Butte took cn in sympathy with Amalgamated, North Butte opening at sS4.75, reached ss6.50 and closed at sS6. Warren holds firm at SIS, with none offered, while American is being ofert d at S13 in small lots only. Cochise De velopmenr Company is being sought after at s6. while the East is offering s6.50. Butte Coalition sales were made at $36. Tomorrow will not show much change in the market, and if anything a decline From all indications we would naturally think that all stocks should be bought at these prices for we doubt that any of them will de cline more than three or four points. and at that we are taking chances. There is much to be expected this summer from the different properties, and if developments continue as they have been since the last month, there will be something doing.
