BLUE STEEL" TRIES
TO MAKE HIS ESCAPE
WAS FOUND HIDING IN SOME
BRUSH UP COURT HOUSE
CANYON.
CLEvERLY PLANNED THE ESCAPE

ing 1t.

blue Steel Williams, the negro
bound over to the grand jury on the
charge of purchasing liquors stolen
from Clark's drug store, made bold
break for liberty yesterday afternoon
and was found hiding in some brush
about 500 feet up Court House can
yon. Williams was out on bail for
several weeks, but got into a fraudu-
lent mining deal and his bondsmen
refused to remain on his bond, so he
was placed in Jail. Readers of the
News will recall the fact that Burns,
the man charged with having stolen
the liquors and having sold them to
Williams, escaped shortly after being
incarcerated and has not been seen
since. Williams evidently tried to
follow in his footsteps, but the Off
GERS were too quick for him.

With Findings Of Ore Bodies

insOn District.
A s25,OOO,O00 SHELTER
Close Connection With Great Firm
Tells What His People Antici-
pate from Ely Camp.

In ten years the Guggenheim in
terests in Ely will be producing over
$4,000 tons of copper ore daily, is
the astounding statement recently
made in the east by one of the in
siders, acquainted with the proper
ties of the above mentioned firm. and
he further adds that it will require
the vast sum of $25, 100000 in the
construction of reduction works
alone to handle this vast tonnage.
Twenty-Five millions of dollars to
be expended in Ely in the construc-
ton of plants of sufficient size to take
care of the ore produced in this dis
trict.
The Boston News Bureau, a better
authority than which there is none,
has the following:
BOSTON, Aug. 25.-A prominent
Guggenheim interest says: THE de-
velopment of the Ely camp is fully
meeting our expectations There is
a block of ore in that camp 1000
feet wide, 1000 feet long and $50
feet thick that will furnish 100000
tons of ore. These are big figures,
but they have been proved conclu
sively by drill operations.
"The Guggenheims are laying their
plans to eventually produce 300, ,OOO.-
600 pounds of copper per annum
from Ely, but it will take years, ten
years at a minimum, to place the
properties in shape for such a pro-
duction, for it would mean the treat
ment of 25 900 tons of ore per day.
"By ten years our companies ope-
rating in Ely should have a reduc-
ton capacity sufficient to treat this
enormous volume of ore, but 1t will
cost $25, 100000 to build reduction
works alone, to say nothing of de-
velopment costs.
'There are three prospective cop
per deposits which will add materi-
ally to the worlds copper supply in
the next 10 years. Ely is by far the
largest prospective producer. The
other two are the porphyry deposits
of Bingham and Alaska, and the Gng-
genheims are largely in control OF
all three.
''Of course it is discouraging to
see such an enormous depreciation in
ones securities, but we are devoting
our attention to keeping our proper
ties in good shape and increasing
their earning power. Smelters com
mon stock can show just as large
earnings selling at so as at l3o.
Values will tell in the long run.

HARTMAN IN NO
FEAR Of ARREST
RAILROAD MAGNATE EXpOUNDS
HIS VIEWS ON THE FINAN-
CIAL SITUATION.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25-E. II. Har-
riman is quoted as having said in
Salt Lake.
81 have planned no extensions or
improvements for the Oregon Short
Line at Salt Lake or elsew here, or for
the local street railway system, other
than what has already been an
nounced, nor have | purchased the
resort at Saltair or the Los Angeles
& Salt Lake railroad between Salt
Lake and the beach"
Are you in any fear of arrest or
criminal prosecution as suggested by
Attorney General Bonaparte?" was
the question that opened the inter-
view. Not the slightest. | am too
busy running railroads and | have
nothing to do with politics, anyway"
Concerning labor, Mr.. Hartman
said: Labor is factor of increased
cost the railroads cannot escape
from, whatever their economies, as
1t is not only directly employed by
them, but enters into every item of
construction, equipment, and estab-
ishment of terminal facilities.
Rates will have to remain at their
present level for some time and in
some quarters of the country they
will have to be raised.
"All the roads want is a square
deal from the public. Last winter
you had coal shortage and you had
it because a year ago when we Of
fered you special inducements to lay
in your coal supply before winter you
tfDI
were busy with the heavy fall traffic
and then wanted your coal on short
notice. There will have to be more
cooperation.
Rebates and other concessions
have arisen largely from a desire on
the part of the traffic manag gers of the
big systems to serve the people who
furnish them business. Railroads are
doing their best to eliminate their
improper favors, for economy in ope-
ration is the one thing We strive for,
and this is not to he gained in giving
special favors to the few at the ex-
pense of the many"
Concerning the financial situation,
he is reported as follows: "A gen.
eral timidity such as has been en-
gendered by the agitation against the
railroads that has been sweeping the
country operates to hurt both the
ckholder and the public. 1t makes
the railroad, in the first place. pay
more for the money needed for its
development than it would have to
pay under ordinary conditions, put
ting that additional charge upon the
earning capacity of the property, and
in the second place cripples the rail
road in endeavoring to equip itself
to render service.
"That is the reason why | have
pointed recently to the fact that the
Union Pacific system has spent $780,
600, 900 in improvements and extern
sions since 1900, has had $500 miles
of new track and replaced altogether
$4,000 or 49, 900 miles of track.
"Those things are indications of
the service rendered in building up
the country, and | want to do what
| can to develop such feeling of CO.
operation between the people and the
railroads that the Union Pacific and
the other systems may not be shut
off from further contributing to the
country's development

COSTELLO BOUND0VE
TO THE GRAND JURY

Thomas J. Costello, the man ac-
cused of passing worthless checks.
was held to answer last Saturday af-
ternoon by Justice Cartwright and
his bail was fixed at $4,000. Attor-
neys Schwayder and McFadden rep
resented Costello and moved that he
be held to answer without an exami-
nation. District Attorney Eddy OBJ
jected, stating that such action would
be irregular, and the court sustained
him.
George Hogan testified that the
defendant had given him check for
$40 in payment for goods and that
he returned him $S in change The
check was later returned as being
worthless. J. w. Biggone, assistant
cashier of the First National bank.
said that the firm of Costello & New
hall never had any account at the
bank.
The court then held the defendant
to answer to the grand jury.

PROTEST AGAINST
|ND|GN|T|ES TO FLAG

MANILA, Aug. 23.-At a mass
meeting of 1000 Americans resolu-
tions were adopted protesting against
indignities to the American flag and
congratulating the Philippine COM
mission on the enactment of a dras-
tic law prohibiting the display OF any
ensign except the American in the
Philippines. The resolutions also in
vite the Filipinos to join with the
Americans in making the policy OF
the philippine commission successful.
Among those who delivered address
es at the meeting was Congressman
McKinlay.
The new law prohibits, under
heavy penalties, the public display
of any flag other than the American,
EXCEPT those of recognized foreign
nations. 1t is believed here that the
law was passed by direction or the
president and the secretary of war.
The Filipino Nacionalista party has
adopted resolutions disclaiming any
intention of showing disrespect TO
the flag and affirming its loyalty TO
the American government.

KILLED AT THE NAVY YARD.
Dies i'm Fall of Forty Feet to- Bottom
of the Pit.

The second victim of the braces at
the quay wall being built at the Char
lesion navy yard dock met his death
Wednesday when Joseph Smith, col
ored, fell from a brace of the south
Golfer dam wall into the pit over 40
feet below and was crushed to death.
The Post says Smith, who was en-
ployed by the New York Jewell-Con-
tinental Filtration Company, as lab
orer went to work Wednesday after
noon at about o'clock. He was too
impatient to get his working number,
and instead OF waiting for the time
keeper, c. A. Estes, to come to him
on the north wall as was the custom,
he started to cross to the timekeeper.
In making his way over he stepped
upon a brace, and hesitating for a
moment looked backward. AS he did
so he brushed his shoulder against
the stone work and fell from the sup
port to the bottom Of the basin be-
low. He hit with great force and life
was crushed out of his body imme-
diately. His face was mashed in, and
his bones broken by the fall.

ply to prevent fraud after transaction
between the holder of the bond and
the States had terminated
"The question: the opinion con-
tinues, whether the petitioner is a
bona fide holder is not ministerial
but strictly judicial in is nature and
the action of the treasurer is not
subject to review by the court"
The attorney general, however. did
not urge this question nor the ques-
ton as to the actual notice the hold
er had that the bond was not good.
However, the right of the treasurer
to issue a certificate of stock is a
question of power and must be de-
termined under the act of 1892,
which clearly shows that the legisla-
ture had under contemplation but one
issue of stock for bond and the
treasurer is not authorized to make
second issue. The "bond debt"
cases are quoted to uphold this
where the court held that bonds in
the hands of bona fide holders only
be regarded as valdi debts.
AS to the issuance of additional
stock. Justice Gary holds that If the
act be construed that way there
would be no reason why there should
not be third and fourth issue. THE
case. as quoted above, that bonds is
sued without authority of law are
void even in the hands of bona fide
holders is clearly law" The opinion
then holds that the duty enjoined
upon the treasurer to issue a second
certificate is ministerial; the court
has not power in mandamus proceed
ings and the action is in in effect a
suit against the State, which is un-
constitutional.
AS stated. this decision means
suit on the bonds of DR.. w. T. G.
Bates and Messrs. w. II. Zimmerman
and r. III. Jennings, the State Treas
urers who employed the clerk. 1t is
presumed these suits will be started
at once.

LIES TEN HOURS IN COFFIN
Gruesome Experience of n Victim of
Fraternity Initiation.

To lie for ten hours in a coffin, to
see through the glass covering over
his face the glimmer of candles, was
the fate of Roy Lorraine. a student
of the Dubukue High School, who
was the victim OF frat" initiation.
The young man. being of the
nerveless kind, was to be submitted
TO the most trying order. Gagged
and bound he was taken under cover
of night to a farm in the vicinity of
the city. Here he was escorted to a
cellar long in disuse and led down the
stairway.
Candles were lighted and placed
about in inches in the wall and young
Lorraine, blindfolded. was induced to
lie down in what seemed to him a
box, and the cover was fastened. The
covering soon was removed from his
eyes. and he awoke to the realization
that he was in q coffin.
There was sufficient air to keep
him from smothering and he remain
ed there all through the night. Early
in the morning he was released by
some friends

SUFFERED AG0NIES
Woman Tortued to Death to Dis.
pei Evil Spirits
Before She Was Released by Death.
Son, Daughter anG Three Others
Gave Her Violent Treatment

A report from Shicago says five
people, members of the sect of Par
hamites, are under arrest at Zion
City. accused of torturing to death
Mrs. Letitia Greenlaugh, 81 years
old, cripple for twenty years with
rheumatism, to show their belief in
the religion they profess.
The people under Arrest are: Wal
ter and Jennie Greenlaugh, son and
daughter of the woman; Harold Nit
chell, Mrs. Harold Mitchell, and a
Mrs. Smith.
The sect Of Parhamites was found
ed about year ago, by Charles Par
ham, and numbers about 200. The
members originally belonged to Dow
les church. Their theory of sickness
is evidence of the possession of the
body by evil spirits.
The condition of Mrs. Greenlaugh
convinced her son and daughter and
the others arrested that she possess
ed the evil spirit. They knelt by her
bedside and after praying commenced
work.
The arms OF Mrs. Greenlaugh.
stiffened by rheumatism were twisted
about in order that the devn might
be driven out. The cries of the aged
woman were considered those of the
evil spirit, and were greeted with tri-
umphant shouts.
After course of this violent treat
ment Mrs. Greenlaugh not only be-
came so weak she could not use her
limbs, but became incaable of making
any motions. Then her neck was
twisted for some time.

Greelaugh testified that his mothers
