the recommendation Of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections
in declaring the seat of the Utah
senator vacant is not based on
such a charge.
Burrows impeachment was
based entirely upon the connec-
ton of Smoot with the govern
ing body Of the church, consist
ing Of the presidency and the
twelve apostles. He referred to
this body as a ''nierachy' and
said that it dominates the state
of Utah holding practically every
official position in the state gov
ernment.
Burrows concluded as follows:
"It is an organization that fos-
ters and encourages crime, desc
crates the home, degrades wo-
manhood, debauches public NOR
ais, registers an oath ofhostillty
to the American nation. / sub
NIT that such an organization
is not entitled to have it's repre-
sentative in the senate of the
United States.

H. Stager of Thomas, OKLA, has rivaled
the daring feats of John r. Alternately,
who was appointed United States mar
shal of the territory by President
Roosevelt, largely because he had
caught live wolves with his bare hands.
Mrs. Stager was crossing a field on
her farm. when her hounds took chase
after a large coyote and ran it down.
The savage animal had turned at bay
Not one of the dogs would venture
close enough to the coyote to take hold
of it.
Fearing the animal would escape and
continue it's devastation among the
stock, Mrs. Stager rushed upon it and,
throwing her apron over its head, made
it a prisoner. She clutched it tightly
by the throat until it was subdued.

"Made" Lands
Special to The Herald.


SAN PEDRO. April 2,-There is a
we'll founded. rumor going today that
the Crescent Wharf company which
does business on the east side Of the
pay here, or its parent, the Salt Lake
railroad, tired of trying to have the
squatters evicted from their holdings
on the made land to the east of the
East San Pedro breakwater by the gov
ernment or by the city of Long Beach,
which claims title to the land by an
nexation, has commenced to buy the
squatters' rights to the land and thus
get possession.
To this end woman, who introduced
herself as Mrs. Hamilton Of Los An
geles, has been trying to buy the squat
ters' rights for the past few days and
in several cases has been successful.
Yesterday she secured the two houses
and land on which they rested owned
by M. D. Mckay, paying therefor the
sum of S2600. She also secured on the
day previous, so it is reported, the hold
ings of DR.. Bradley, banker of Los
Angeles, and that of Frank Eggleson,
a resident here and one or two small
holdings. She is reported to be in Los
Angeles. trying to buy the holdings of
Mrs. Nadeau Mckay who has several
lots and houses on the land.
1nterrogated by phone Mrs Hamilton
refused to affirm that she was buying
for the Crescent wharf company, but
said she was buying for her own use.
The land is of no value for commercial
purposes now, say experts, but will
pay simply to hold for sale to a large

SUGAR BEETS ARE THRIVING
Apricots in Ventura Are Not Doing
So Well, According to
Reports
Special to The Herald.

SpeClal 10 Inc Herald.
VENTURA, April 2.-Reports are
coming in from many different parts
of the county of the discouraging out
look for apricots. Many orchards
blossoned unevenly, and where they
were late the long continued damp
spell rotted much of the very small
fruits. N. B. Smith of Ventura avenue
reports not over one-fourth of a crop,
and that some of his neighbors will
not have enough to pay to gather.
From the Canada Largo and the DIAL
come the same discouraging reports.
In the vicinity of Santa Paula and
Fillmore the crop will be very uneven.
While the fruit crop will be light, the
sugar beets will make up the deficiency.
Judging from present indications this
season will be a record breaker for
beets. Officials of the sugar factory
at Oxnard are preparing for a six
months run, as against three and four
months in former seasons.

EGG MATCHES A ROMANCE

Address on Shell
Special to The Herald.
BRADDOCK, Pa, April g. - The
Romance of an Egg" is a story that
is being told in Braddock. The egg was
Of the plain ordinary barnyard varie-
ty. 1t came from Kansas by way of
the cold storage route and differed from
other hen fruit only in that it bore the
name in chaste lead-penciled chirog-
raphy Florence Turner, Stockton,
Kas."
On Christmas Day Thomas Altman of
Braddock, taking breakfast with a
friend, was served with the identical
egg bearing the name of the Kansas
maiden. Not even the automatic three
minutes boiling had obliterated the
bewitching tracery on it's shell. 1t is
q tribute to the efficiency of the refrig
orator car system that the egg left
the young man with a feeling that he
wished there had been two of them in
stead of one. At any rate he picked up
the shell and there met his fate.
He wrote to Miss Florence Turner,
Stockton, Kas." In due course of time
he received a reply and-well. They
exchanged photographs and condolences
and now young Altman is arranging
his plans to make trip to Kansas and
maybe will bring Miss Turner home
to boil his eggs and make his coffee
for him in the future. All that of course
depends largely on how closely per-
sonal inspection will carry out the pre-
conceived ideals wrought up by the
letters and photographs.
Mr.. Altman. who lives at $50 Hawkin
avenue, Braddock, is most promising
young man, just about attaining his
majority. Four years ago he entered
the employ of the Westinghouse Ma
chine company as an apprentice and
has worked up to being an erecting
engineer with headquarters In Pitts
burg.
Miss Turner is a graduate of the
Stockton high school and is employed
as a stenographer in mercantile house
in her native city.

RAGPICKER IS HEIR TO
BIG HIDDEN TREASURE
BOSTON COLoRED MAN WILL
SOON BE RICH
Eccentric Brother Of Thomas CIouuh,
Negro Slave, of New Bedford, Dies
In Calcutta Leaving Wealth Under
Rock for Him

Special to The Herald.
NEW BEDFORD, April 2. Left
$4,000 hidden under rock in far-off
British India, by an eccentric brother,
and too poor to get to the country
where the money is concealed, is the
remarkable predicament confronting
Thomas Clough, a colored laborer and
ragpicker, living on Kempton street, in
this city.
Clough was Sc years old in January,
and if he gets the money he will end
in luxury a life begun as a slave on a
Virginia plantation before the war. He
hugs close to his breast packet of
letters, some worn and faded, some
crisp and new, bearing on their en-
velops the postage of British India.
Ran Away North
The mysterious Brother Henry, the
man who amassed the fortune was two
years older than Thomas. He too was
a Virginia slave and worked on the
same plantation with Thomas. At the
outbreak of hostiities the lads, IL and
10 years old respectively, came to Mas
sachusetts through the federal lines
with a party of older runaway slaves.
Both joined a whaling fleet from this
port and after several years in the
Arctic Thomas returned to this city,
nearly as poor as when he left it.
Henry deserted the ship, Catherine
King, at ST. Michaels In the Azores,
and for several years little is known of
his life.
Three years ago Thomas Clough re-
ceived a letter from his brother. 1t was
written from sailors boarding house
on Drake street, Calcutta. In it Henry
said that he had given up the sea and
was comfortably situated in Calcutta,
and owned a share in the boarding
house. He was saving money, he said,
and wanted Thomas to write to him.
Henry died in Caluctta last Novem-
ber. Among the effects was a docu-
ment addressed to Thomas, carefully
sealed. 1t was duly forwarded, prob
ably by Henry's successor in the board
ing house business. This letter de-
scribes the hiding place of the treasure.
On Abandoned Farm
In a solitary lot on an abandoned |
farm of a village suburb of Calcutta, |
under a slab covering a dried-up well, |
he money is supposed to be hidden in |
l Steel-sheathed box. Clough refuses to |
part with any more definite details, be-
cause he fears others may get to the
reasure before he does. The money is
n franc pieces to the number of 10000
about $4,000.
Clough took his letters to local
oank here and asked their advice but
he proposition that they advance him
lis fare to Calcutta on the strength of
he documents was not enthusiastically
Joseph c. Brown of Ill Fifth street,
| former whaler and a man possessed
# a moderate fortune and familiar
With Calcutta, is a firm believer in
Ilough's legacy, and it is likely that
lie will advance the necessary capital
md with Clough will set sail for India
within month as a partner in a
earch in the mysterious fortune.
