SERIOUS CHARGES MADE
. a
Claims He was Cheated and
Defrauded.
That He Signed Papers When
his Mind was weak and BE
was Intoxicated.

Claiming that he has been defraud-
ed and cheated. John T. Hatch
brought suit in the court of common
pleas. Friday, against Edward s.
Moon. Through his attorneys, De-
Golley & DeGolley, Hatch claims that
Moon fraudulently induced him. to
sign certain deeds and mortgages,
conveying valuable property to
Moon. At the time of doing this,
Hatch claims. he was weak of mind
and was under the influence OF
liquor. He says that certain persons
placed him under the influence of in
texicants 50 that he might be induced
to sign the papers. t."t
Hatch relates that the deeds con-
veyed to Moon lot in Marion, val
ued at S2e0. 100 acres in Pike county,
valued at 81, 900. and 80 acres in Mis-
souri, valued at $1,000. In exchange,
Moon gave stock of groceries in this
city which he claimed was valued at
$4,000, but which Hatch says was
really worth only $1,s09. In addition
to this rather uneven exchange, Hatch
gave a chattel mortgage for $1,000
on the groceries. This mortgage was
to be forfeited in default of prom
issory note. due one day after date.
Hatch asks that a reconveyance of
the property at issue be ordered by
the court and that Judge Young grant
a temporary injunction restraining
Moon from disposing of or in any
way incumbering the property.
Judge Young granted the temporary
injunction and the plaintiff furnished
a bond Of $500.

Water On Forest Reserves.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The forest
ry service has submitted to the attor.
ney general the question OF the legali-
ty of the practice Of so charging com.
mercial companies for the right of
conducting water through the reserves
for the development of power and
other purposes a. to cause them to
contribute to the expense of maintain
ing the reserve. The service has here.
,ofore exacted payment for pipelines
taking water from the streams in the
reserve, but the right to do so has
been questioned. and it is now the
purpose to secure the attorney gen
erals view OF the point. The forestry
administration takes the position that
the companies should pay something
for the service they receive, through
conserv alton Of the waters OF the
streams on which they rely. and they
find their only opportunity on the
charge of the right.of.way. Prac.i-
cally all the water used by them is
conveyed through pipelines for the
production Of electricity. and the de.
mand is constantly increasing.

To Investigate Coal Trust.

ST. PAUL, March 3O.-An investi.
cation of the alleged coal combina-

dertaken by the federal grand jury
which meets in Minneapolis next Tues
day. Witnesses have been subpoeaned
and the attorneys for the government
will direct a most searching inquiry
into the methods and practices Of pro.
ducers and jobbers in bituminous
coal.
1t is understood that the inquiry
will also go into the operations of the
Northwestern Coal Dealers associa
ton TO some extent as it may be found
to affect the coal markets, but the in
quiry is to be directed particularly
toward the producers and jobbers o.
soft coal, and the probe will go into
every nook and corner of the Goa

RUEF'S BIG GRAFT.
Political Boss On the Pay Roll Of
Telephone Company.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3O.-Two
sensational pieces of evidence in the
bribery and graft investigation were
adduced before the grand jury today.
Three members of the executive board
of the Pacific States Telephone CON-.
pany testified that they had no knowl.
edge whatsoever of the alleged bribing
of supervisors to vote against the
award of a competitive franchise to
the Home Telephone company, and
that if bribery vas committed it was
"up to- Vice President Louis Glass,
whom the grand jury already has in
dicted on nine counts to explain. An
other member of the executive board,
Percy S. Morgan, made the same
denial of knowledge several days ago
when on the witness stand.
The second alton came when E.
S. Phills bury, who IL q director of
aud attorney for the Pacific States
Telephone company, testified that
Abraham Ruef, the indicted political
boss, has been for more than two
years on the private payroll of that
corporation and has been paid regu-
larly $1,000 a month. This, said
Phillsbury, was nor than the salary
paid to himself. When he discovered
this, be testified, he objected t o the
company and his own remuneration
was raised.
Abe Ruef made it plain today that
his defense on the charges against
him made as the result of the confess
sions OF the supervisors will be that
in each case, so far as he knows, the
testimony of the confessing supervis.
ors stands without confederation. He
will seek refuge in the code provision
that the testimony of an accomplish
in crime is no: sufficient for convic'
ton.
This came out in the course of al
interview in which Ruef was asked
what course he intended to pursue
with regard to the story told to thu
grand jury by Supervisor Gallagher
that he had received all the brib'
money from Ruef and had acted a
his CO. between in Disturbing the sum

An Easter Story From Gotham.

When the wind was in its most
capricious mood on a particularly
''blowy' day, a woman at that mys-
terious age when her friends speak Of
her as "well preserved made a dash
around the corner of the tr%eacherous
flatiron building. Her gown was the
lightest of summer muslins, and on
her head she wore a marvellous crea-
ton of gauze and flowers. Every
vagabOnd breeze in hat vicinity in.
stantly saw an opportunity to do
stunts.
Sooner than it takes to tell it, the
summer muslin was describing the
most alarming aerial flights. But it's
owner, a hand on either side of her
hat, kept on as stubbornly as though
such q display Of open.work hosiery
was an everyday affair.
