 BOSTON-Old Dominion was the most active stock today, adyanrlng four and half points on very strong buying. Thef5 seems to be contest for control of the company and sonsid- erable dissatisfaction by the old stock holders of the Old Dominion company of New Jersey. Greene opened up strong but towards the close of the day came out freely. The Parrott dividend was a distinct disappoint- ment and we think the stock a sale around present prices. Tie Coalition dividend will perhaps b'a declarec this afternoon and will probably be about 90 cents and We think would be a disappointment and will probably brine in some selling.

REPORT SAYS THAT
 CABRERA IS KILLED
UNcoNFiRMED REPORT SAYS PRESIDENT OF GUATEMALA HAS BEEN AssAssINATED - STORY HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED.

Mexico City June 9.-The Associated Press office here received a message from Oaxaca Herald at a late hour to- night saying that a private message had been received in Oaxaca, saying that President Cabrera of Guatemala had been assassinated. No further details could be obtained up to this time.
 Owing to the lateness of the hour it wass difficult to see officials in an en- deavor to corroborate the story. Minister Manuel Giron, the Guatemalan repre- sentative to Mexico, was seen at his home, but knew nothing of the alleged assassination. Dr. Francesca Reyes, for mer minister of foreign relations in Sal vador, who is now in the city, declared that if the report was true it meant a revolution in Guatemala The report has caused excitement here, but there is a disposition to discredit the story.
 The message conveying the report of the assassination of President Cabrera was received by the daughters of General Barrundia. who was formerly a president of Guatemala, and who himself was assassinated some years ago. The mes sage follows:
 "The daughters of former President Barrundia, who live in this town have received a telegram from Guatemala, saying that President Cabrera has been assassinated
 President Barrundia was assassinated some years ago on board an American war vessel and his daughters are known to have large interests in Guatemala.

LARGE BODIES OF
 TROOPS IN CAPITAL
FACT THAT MAJORITY OF MEN CHARGED WITH PARTICIPATION IN ASSASSINATION ARE PRoMi- NEWT AFFECTS BUSINESS.

Guatemala City, June 9.-There are large bodies of troops in the capital and extraordinary precautions are taken each night to maintain order. The populace is tranquil. The fact that O majority of those who were sentenced to death or imprisonment for alleged participation in the attempts to assassinate President Cabrera, belong to the highest society of the republic, has caused a considerable depression in business.
 The outcome of their plea for revis- ion of sentence rests with the court of appeals. The time when a decision may be expected is not known; it may be rendered in three days or not for thirty days. A delegation of Spaniards today called at the Spanish legation and com plained bitterly at the sentence imposed upon Ricardo Trigueros, a Spaniard.
 All the frontiers of the republic are guarded by the best army, both in the number of men and equipment that ever has been raised in Guatemala. The gov ernment controls the situation with firm hand and Is able to maintain peace in all quarters of the country. The army will disband soon and the men return home.
 Exchange is normal at 13 pesos 70 cen- tayas for 1 gold.

THAW IS PREPARING
 HIS OWN DEFENSE
FOLLOWS STRICTLY THE RULES AND ROUTINE OF THE TONES AND IT IS SAID HE IS A MODEL PRISONER.

New York, June Notwithstanding the reports that Harry K. Thaw. now In the Tombs awaiting his second trial for the killing of Stanford White, has se- cured a new director general for his forces, 1t was learned authoritatively to- day that he has reached no decision with his lawyers as to who will direct his de- fense when he is again called to the bar.
 Within his cell, Thaw works unceas- ingly on the evidence adduced at his trial, preparing a defense which he will submit to his counsel for their consid- eration. The routine of his prison life does not seem to dampen his spirits. His only companion In the prison Is Rafaele Cascone, an Italian, awaiting his second trial for staying two of his fell low countrymen Thaw associates with none Of the other prisoners except Cas- cone, and every day during the exercis- ing hours, this strangely contrasted pair walk the corridors in quiet conversation The Italian has told Thaw of his thirty two months confinement in the death house" in Sing Sing, until the court of appeals granted him a new trial.
 Mrs Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and Mrs. William Thaw call at the Tombs every day. Their coming and going is un- noticed and even the denlzens of the dis trict fail to stare at the Thaws when they alight in front of the prison.
 Harry Thaw follows strictly the rules and routine of the Tombs and the jailors say he is a model prisoner. He does not eat the prison fare. Thaw shows no physical Ill effects from his years confinement. though his face has the usual prison pallor.

COTTON PLANT IS TAKING ON NEW LIFE
 Good Weather Works Wonders in Louisiana
 STAND IS STILL BAD
 Boil WeeviI and New Bug Are Doing 
STAND IS STILL BAI
Boil Weevil and New Bug Are Doing Some Damage to the Young Plant in Louisiana and
 Mississippi.

New Orleans, June s.--The Picayune to- morrow will say:
 ''Hot, dry, windy weather during the week ending today has worked marked change in cotton crop conditions in Louis lana and the southern half of Mississippi, according to reports received by the Plea yune. In some sections this is the first week in two months without rain, and the first opportunity in forty days that the farmers have had to do field work. twithstandns this the crop is still from and shows poor stands in some localities This is both the result of the long period of unfavorable weather and also lack of competent labor.
 ''rhe plant has undoubtedly recovered to some extent, and Is rapidly recuperatjng. It will require three weeks to get the crop in normal condition, and this period must be free of excessive rain in order to attain this result. Some of the cotton Is too grassy to be saved even under the most favorable weather conditions. From planting, planters redoublng their efforts in an endeavor to bring to fruition the present stands. late frost next fall is absolutely necessary.
 Some sections estimate that the crop will not exceed 60 per cent of last year considering the general condition of the plant and acreage reduction forced by in- ability to plant at the proper season. Re- ports state that the abandonment of area runs from to 10 per cent Although water Is falling slowly in the lowland, nevertheless a considerable area is still inundated.
 Boil weevils are eating the buds and leaves of the young plants in Natchitoches parish, Louisiana. The pest Is also do- ing some damage In St. Tammany parish. Insects of a different nature are reported in Hinds county. Mississippi. In Red River parish, Louisiana, from to 20 per cent of the land Is in poor shape on account of boil weevil ravages."

papers Discuss Affair.

Tokio June 9.--In regard to recent at tack on a Japanese bath house and a res taurant in San Francisco, the JiJi today advises It's readers not to believe that the unfriendly sentiments of San Fran cisco are shared by the whole American nation. The paper points out the danger to friendly relations between Japan and the United States which might result from such misapprehensons. It also ex- pressed full confidence that the Wash ington government would be able to settle the matter satisfactorily.
 The Stochi suggests that the traditional friendship and the outrages suffered by Japanese in America are two things that must be kept distinctly separate in solv- ing the question of assault on Japanese
 The Hochi says the outrage should be considered irrespective of the locality of the occurrence. Continuing, 1t says:
 Should similar determinations and per secutions be practiced against citizens of European power. there would certainly have been the strongest outburst of in- dignation on the part of the whole na- ton that suffered by them.
 The San Francisco incident concerns not only the rights of the Japanese there, but the honor of Japan. The future re- lations between the United States and Japan are involved in this question. Our demands must be strongly insisted upon and sentimental consideration set aside. Thus will the friendship of both nations be placed on a firm footing."

VIII Reach Settlement.

Guthrie. o. T., June 9.-The states mud dle will reach final settlement on June 12, when the appeal from Pancoasts de- cision restraining the holding of an cleo tion prior to November, 1908, to vote on the constitution will be heard. If the decision is favorable to the contention of those favoring an early election, it Is believed that Governor Frantz will issue the call. In the meantime, Frederick FL kns, assistant attorney general of Okla homa, has served to complicate matters by holding, in an unofficial opinion, that no election can be called so long as the constitutional convention has not ad- journed definitely. The convention is merely in recess having adjourned until August 5, at which time it's life will ex- pire by lapsng, should it not meet that day. William H. Murray, president of the convention, has so far refrained from is- suing the election call

All the Confederates regret that General Wheeler is not buried In the Confederate section instead of the plot selected by his family in another part of the cemetery. General Wheeler, however, was by no means overlooked, and many of the choicest floral offerings at the dis posal of the Confederates rest upon his tomb tonight

NEW LAND FRAUDS
 ARE DEVELOPING Prominent Men Implicated in
 New Scandal SUITS WILL BE FILED 1t is Charged That Defendants Had Lots Scheduled to Dummles-Ala bama Also Has Scandal
 Brewing.
SUITS WILL BE FILED

Muskogee, l. T., June 9-A new scandal is on tap and will develop next week, it is said. when suits charging land frauds will be filed here by an agent of the in- teror department against many persons prominent in the political life of the two territories.
 W. L. Sturtevant of St. Louis, who has been appointed special townsite attorney by Secretary Garfield, to act in connec- tion with M. L. Mott. national attorney for the Creek nation. arrived here last night and gave out a statement to the ef- feet that suits would be filed Immediately on the part of the federal government, acting for the Creek nation, charging con- spiracy to defraud score or more per- sons prominent in Muskogee, Tulsa and Wagoner, and also against two national banks.
 Mir. Sturtevant is quoted as saying that he would prosecute the cases to the limit, forcing the holders of the property al- legged to have been fraudulently acquired to transfer it back to the Creek nation VI pay ic bilc oIttfk DdtlOH the present cash value of the lots.
 The arrival of MT. Sturtevant and his declared statement of prosecution has caused a sensation.
 The general charge that will be made Is that the defendants had lots scheduled to dummies; that is, they had lots sched- uled to other persons. and that the de- fendants paid the appraised government valuation and then had the lots deeded back to them by the dummies, without consideration. The lots scheduled in this way cost those who secured them only 50 per cent of the regular appraisement and the fraud comes in the practice of thus scheduling lots in excess of what the law allowed the defendants to hold

Boise, Idaho, June 9-Steve Adams, an- of William D. Haywood, is now on his way to Boise. coming from the Jail at Wallace, where he Is held pending trial \ tho charge of murder.
 Adams, according to Harry Orchard, was the partner of tho assassin in many of the "bumplng of expeditions" suc- cessful and unsuccessful. in which Or chard has made confession. Adams also confessed last ye-~, but unlike Orchard, he repudiated the document when he faced the gallows. The confession is, however, sworn to and in writing It shows careful correction and interlinea- tion in Adams confession, say 1t sur passes Orchards story of cold-booded maintaining and murder. The list of Adams alleged victims Is not as long as that with which Orchard credits him self, but this is said to be because Steve still-hunted single quarry while Or chard, to use his own words, did not care whether he killed one man or fifty" as he felt at that time"
 Another Witness.
 Another interesting witness who arrived here today Is Mrs. Ida Toney Orchard, the widow with three children whom Orchard took to be his wife, notwith standing the existence of another wife living in Canada
 Mrs. Ida Toney Orchard will be wit ness for the defense. It is understood she will testify that Orchard. while he lived al Cripple Creek, was In the employ of the mine owners It Is expected that -Ia< -,x,,I la nIxI t. 1teylnt l,a motives of Orchard and will be relied on to strengthen the claim of the defense that mine owners, and not the Western Federation of Miners. were the conspira- tors who employed, Orchard to murder. Orchard married the. second time at Grip pie Creek when he was at work as a miner At that time he was member of the miners union They were mar ried shortly before the great strike broke out in 1904.

 Light. on Gregory Case.
 Some new light has been thrown on the murder of Lyte Gregory in Den yer. According to statements made by the party in Denver. Orchard and Simp- kins. or whoever his accomplice was. were suspected at the time of the murder. Bloodhounds tracked them to the ward benind Pettibone's store where Orchard said ne ma ms guns ana otHeT eNl- dence was discovered. The police were about to arrest the two men, when or ders came from some mysterious source that the men were not to be molested. and Orchard was allowed to get out of the way. This tatement is said to have been made by Chief of Detectives Loom- is of Denver, and Paul Gregory, a brother of the murdered man. has made a similar statement. It is likely that both will be called as witnesses and the mysterious order. allowing Orchard to get away, will be investigated
