FAILS TO DELIVER PRISONER
q. s. DEPUTY MARSHAL'S UN-
USUAL PROCEDURE.
Delays Action While Accused Man
Searches for Bondsmen-May
Be Investigated.

Inquiry at the United States marshals
Office this morning elected the information
that the deputy to whom was given yester-
day bench warrant for the apprehension
of Adolph II. krelger, who was brought to
this city Tuesday by a deputy marshal
from New Jersey, had failed to locate
kreiger his custodian. Marshal Palmer,
however, has been advised that local bond
ing companies have been visited by Kreiger
and his accommodating keeper. and that at
one of these offices he was expected to turn
up today.
The Jersey deputy with his prisoner ar
rived here Tuesday morning and visited the
marshal's office. The deputy stated that
he was not then prepared to surrender
kreiger. but would take him to dine and
then return. He also made inquiry at the
office of the United States district attorney
concerning the ball to be required for the
release OF the prisoner. 1t was generally
understood about the city hall yesterday
that kreiger and his guardian were arrang-
Ing the details for giving bond. Nothing
has been seen or heard Of him since, ex-
eept mentioned above.
The usual custom followed In the transfer
OF prisoners held on requisition is the for
NAL surrender by the visiting deputy upon
receipt by the local marshal No receipt
has been given for Kreiger, and 1t Is
suggested that none may be given unless
be should be surrendered before he Is To-
Gated by the local deputy marshal. In the
event of an arrest within the confines of the
District II Is not unlikely that no receipt
may be given for the prisoner, and the
sey deputy may find himself without pris-
oner and without receipt to return to his
superior.
United States Attorney Baker, it Is ex-
pected, will call the matter to the atten-
tion of the Department of Justice. as 1t Is
generally understood that prisoner In
custody of a deputy marshal under requisi-
ton shall be surrendered within twenty
four hours of his arrival in the city.

Will Make Bricks From TaiIings.

ANACONDA, August l5.-A new in.
dustry which may mean much to Ana.
couda Is about to be established at
the Washoe smelter. 1t has been a
problem for years what to do with the
tailings of the smelter and concentra-
tor. They have been tried, but found
not adapted to road bed purposes.
The tailings are good as sand for
plaster, but very little can be used in
this way. The latest scheme is to
make bricks and building blocks from
the tailings. The bricks require no
burning, but when steamed for ten
hours and dried for "a hours they are
ready for use. 1t is the purpose of
the management of the smelter to in.
stall a plant for the manufacture OF
these bricks.
When the plant is first installed it
will have a capacity OF 10000 bricks a
day. Thousands of brick are used at
the smelter and these could take the
place of the old bricks in the furnaces
and for buildings. If the scheme is a
success it will do away with great
deal of waste material and create em.
ployment for hundreds of men.

of Information on the subject. The
evidence that the company has vio-
lated the antitrust law is asserted to
be conclusive.
The investig alton disclosed the fact
that the parent company. controls
practically all Of the big reaper aud
mower and thresher plants In tho
country and that an apporsionmeus Of
the country is made among the vari-
Gus subsidiary concerns IN such .
way that no one OF them. will come
into business conflict with any other.
1t further is alleged that, prices Of
the farm machinery Manufactured BY
the Intern ational Harvester company
are fixed by the concern and from
those prices dealers are not permitted
to vary. In this way and through its
control Of the many plants the com.
pany Is able to dictate the output Of

Texas, having been passed at the re-

According to Attorney General Dav-

would serve to prevent Texas mer'

come agents of trusts under exclusive
agreements and who wilfully and
knowingly promote the interests O.

The Second Naval Power.

NEW YORK, August l9.-The tenth
annual issue of F. T. James "Fight.
ing Ships of 1907" which is one of the
recognized authorities on the navies
of the world and which has just been
published in London, put the United
States second among the naval powers
of the world, with England first.
Both in ships and with high.powered
guns and in those impervious to vital
injury at long range. the United
States fleet is superior to any other
navy in the world. Even by the iu'
clusion OF 4O-caliber l2-inch types,
extinct so far as new ships are con-
cerned, the United States is an ex-
tremely good second, and the cores
pouding lead in invuluerability out

creased.

A Joke On the Governm ent.

WASHINGTON, August l9.-When
the negro messenger in the Office of
the treasurer of the United States
opened one OF the letters in the first
mail this morning check for 800, ,24O, :
600 dropped out. "Lordee," he ex-
claimed as he looked into the envelope
for some letter of transmittal. Find
ing nothing but the check, he carried
it to the Office OF acting secretary Of
the treasury. Mr.. Reynolds.
Mr.. Reynolds glanced at the check,
then at the envelope, and without ap'
pearing to note the perturbation OF the
messenger, smilingly laid paper
weight on it, and with apparent non.
chalance, remarked:
"Ah, some kind friend of Mr..

BIG CROP OF SUGAR BeEIS
Naw Industry In,Yeiiowstone Valley Is

BILLINGS, August 19.-According
to reports from every section Of the
district, the sugar beet crop. for the
Billings factory will be far greater in
tonnage this year than was that Of
last season. Growing weather is now
ideal, and the beets, which have re-
ceived more systematic cultiv alton
this season, are rapidly attaining full
growth. The present acreage is sp.
proximately $500. Last year it Was
about 6, 500, and the second crop on
the same ground is said always to be
larger than the first. The increased
tonnage and the superior quality of
the beets will necessarily result in .
much larger amount Of money being
paid to the farmers, and good times
to the husbandman mean exceptions al

during the early part OF the season for
work in the beet fields, andIthe greater
number Of these people have signfied
their intention Of rem aiming here dur.

have been made at the beet camps
along the railroad west of the city,

At the factory q force Of about SO
