To Open Nevada Reserve.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-The presi.
dent has issued a proclamation fixing
II o'clock noon, October %, as the
date for opening the Walker River
Indian reserva alton in Nevada to set
Element. There are 26S 900 acres of
land to be disposed of, and the law
permits its acquisition under the gen.
eral land laws. The reservation is in
the Carson City land district.
RENO, New Oct. 10.-Thousands of
miners and prospectors will be waiting
on the borders of the Walker River
reservation at II o'clock, noon, on the
Goth of October, when almost the en-
tire reservation will be thrown open,
in accordance with the presidents
proclamation.
For many years it has been known
that there was a large gold and silver
mineral zone in the Walker river
country. and in spite of the vigilance
of the Indian police, hundreds OF
miners have worked in the mountains,
noting the position of valuable
grounds which they expect to locate
as soon as the land is thrown open to
entry.

whom be had summoned in his office,
Earle. after hearing their refusal to
accept his terms. threw down the
gauntlet and boldly declared his to-
tent!on to enter suits against the giant
monopoly under the state and federal
acts. and including criminal charges
against its officers, as we'll as civil &C.
ton against the corporation itself.
The first object of the attack il to
force the big combine to dis:orge il.
controlling interest in the Peuusyi.
vania sugar refinery. one of Adolph
Segal's promotions. which the fnau.
cier turned over to the receiver after
his dealings with Nipple had come to
light. This plant was to have been
operated as an independent industry
but the trust obtained control Of it by
duping Segal, who borrowed $780,.
600 from agents of the trust, suppos.
them at the time to represent the Mu.
tual Lite Insurance company of New
York.
Having thus obt aimed control OF
the plant, the trust has kept it in idle
ness. Unless the refinery is Olsen.
tangled from the trust it is worth
nothing: free it is worth millions.

supreme court of the state was ad.
United as evidence in the trial here OF
the Standar Oil company of Ohio,
charged with conspiracy against
trade.
In admitting the evidence, which il
lumin ated the methods of the Stan.

jury as to conditions prior to the
period covered in the present suit and
not to prove any act during the past
three years covered by the suit.
Rockefeller's Nemesis, IDA NJ.

where her father left it at his death.
She will be a star witness for the
prosecution. The present incrimiuat'
ing documents were gathered by hel

APPEAL TO HIGHEST COURT.
Defendants In Steuueuberg Murder Case
Declare They Were kidnapped.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The su-
preme court of the United States heard
arguments today in the case Of Charles
II. Meyer, ". D. Haywood aud Geo.
F. Pettibone, officers and members Of
the Western Federation of Miners,
who are in prison 10 Canyon county.
Idaho. under q charge Of numbering
former Governor Steunenberg of that
state.
The ease comes to this court on ap.
peal from the decision of the Idaho
federal court in refusing to grant
writs of habeas corpus. The case of
the prisoners was represented by E.
F. Richardson of Denver and c. S.
Darrow of Chicago, and for the state
Of Idaho, by W. H. Hawley Of Boise.
The primary point Of the controversy
was the method in which the Idaho
authorities secured jurisdiction vcr
the men. All of them are residents OF
Colorado and it was alleged, on be.
half of Meyer and his associates, that
they were kidnapped, in pursuance OF a
conspiracy to which the governor of
Colorado and the Idaho authorities
were parties, and hence the jurisdic.
ton was acquired by fraud.
The act was denounced as "a flag.
rant malfeasance of executive duty,
from the contemplation OF which right
thinking people turn with loathing."
Mr.. Hawley commended that the ex-
tradition proceedings had been en-.
tirely regular, and, referring to the
reflections upon the Idaho and Colo.
RADIO authorities, said the court could
not afford to c%ountenance such abuse
of high officials by counsel. he took
the position that, even If it were true
that the governor of Colorado had
connived at the removal of the fedora
ton officials in this irregular way, the
remedy was in an action for damages,
and that the status !of the prisoners
could not be affected by suchIa course
on the part Of the Colorado executive.

Serious Freight Blockade.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-The congestion
OF freight traffic has increased so fast
within the last few days that railway
officials fear they are face to face with
a blockade. Conditions on the east.
ern roads, which have not only to
handle the business which they orig.
mate but have the crops of the west
pouring on them for export, are natur.
ally the worst, but those or the west.
ern lines are also rapidly becoming
extremely serious.
With the approach of winter the
movement of coal has swiftly grown
heavier, aggravating the congestion
which already exist, aud traffic men
say that they do not know what they
will do for cars when the years enor.
nous crop Of corn is ready for
market, as it will be now in q short
time.
A line belonging to one of the big
eastern railway systems has orders
for 1925 cars which it could not fill.
The Pennsylvania proposes to give
notice that for thirty.six hours it will
receive no consignments from the
Pitts burg district, the object being to
