Amazing revelations of a conspiracy
to defraud the United States out of
millions of dollars worth of mineral

the grand juries of half a dozen
states within the next few days.
The facts, il is alleged, will involve
i'm criminal charges many men high

Guiding one United States senator.
one former senator, a man reputed
to be one of the wealthiest In the
world, a railroad man known from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, two of the
wealthiest lumber barons of the
United States and numerous smaller
fry.
The frauds 1T is declared, were per-
petrated in the states of California,
Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Montana, Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Much of the evidence was secured
by Detective Burns, who is engaged
in the municipal graft prosecution of
San Francisco, and upon conclusion
of his work there, Burns, with Attor-
ney Francis J. Heney, of San Fran
cisco, are expected to return to the
government service for the prosecu-

The governor has also received per-
sonal letters from several portions Of
New Mexico making similar requests.
Several have called at the executive
office, not on behalf of the girl-wo-
men, but to ask that they be spared
because they are moral degenerates
and unable to comprehend what they
have done.
Governor Reynolds will not discuss
the case. He is a firm believer in the

is that the women should not be

about hanging as a matter of course.
They express no sorrow for their

Chicago, ILL.,. May 24.---There is a
big surprise in store for the people
who have been expecting the Inter-
state Commerce commission to rec
ommend to the attorney general the
prosecution of f. II. Hartman and
his associates, and the dissolving of
their railroad combination for the
violating of the Sherman antitrust
law.
AT a conference yesterday between
President Roosevelt and Martin A.
Knapp, chairman of the commission,
the fact was brought out that In the
opinion of leading members of the
commission, no law has been violated
by Hartman. though grave evils have
been discovered, which warrant the
enactment of Iaws to prevent their
recurrence.
The commission desires to complete
its report by the first of July.
1t Will present the facts to the at
torney general, but does not believe
that upon the showing made that
prosecution will be begun.

TURKISH DRAMA IS
STRICTLY CENSORED
Sultan'> Representative Cuts Out All
Ailusion to Royalty.

COnstantinople May 24.-The Vag-
aries of the Turkish dramatic censor
a re the distress and dread of impre-
sarios and stage managers in Con-
stantinople. His red pencil ruthlessly
cuts and mutilates the choicest mas
terpieces OF European opera and
drama, no reason being given or ar
gument admitted.
The general rules which guide his
judgment are, of course, more or less
apparent. Anything calculated to
Drlng contempt upon royalty, to sug-
gest seditious ideas, or prejudice pub
lie morals is strictly tabood, but it
Il not always possible to assign, so
simple and satisfactory motives for his
rulings.
For instance, the reason for the
prohibition of Hamlet is sufficiently
obvious, and the obliteration of GER
tain passages from "Othello" is COM
prehensible, but why he should Oh
lect 10 the name OtheIlo is not so
easy TO account for The play has
always to be given under the desig
nation Of III Geloso" or lie Jaloux."
Probably, Othello being a Moor, and
therefore in all probability a Mussul-
man. his name is considered offen-
sive 10 pious Moslems.
All illusions to royalty are strictly
prohibited. Emperors are transform
ed into grand dukes, and kings into
dukes. Although Donizettis la
Favorita' may not be given under this
title, such things as court faVorites
not being officially recognized I'm Tur-
key the censoT's scTuples are allayed
if the play is called "Eleonora, and
the royalties are converted into high
uesSes, HaleVy's La Juive'' had 10

reason in this case was that the title
might not be offensive to the Grand
Rabbi and the Jews generally.

CALHOUN COVETS
CITY GOVERNMENT.

san Francisco, May 24.---Following
the sensational reports which became
current that President Calhoun, of
the United Railroads, was engaged in
a deep laid plot to seize the reins of
municipal government under the
guise of a law and order movement
a newspaper statement declared that
Calhoun is prepared to go to any
length in order both to save himself
from conviction and Imprisonment
under the charges brought by the
graft prosecution, and to win his fight
with the carmen.
The report stated that Calhoun had
been working for several days in a
desperate effort to consolidate in aid
of the movement all the most import
ant financial interests affected by the
graft disclosures.
Men high in financial interests were
seen going i'm and out of his office
throughout the day and it is alleged
that other conferences We're held in
the business center of the city.
1t is stated that, foiled in their at
tempt to get in touch with the prose-
cution through the Intervention of
the committee of seven, Calhoun and
his associates have planned new
stroke by which they hope to place
themselves in control of affairs to
such a degree that they will be able
to block the efforts of Messrs.
Spreekles, Burns and Heney.
Plan is TO Cali Mass Meeting.
Their scheme as outlined in these
reports is to form a new civic COM
mittee as successor to the one which
has just resigned, which will be pre-
pared to resort to extreme measures
Grasping the opportunity of the
carmen's strike and the disturbances
in the streets of the city the reported
plan is for a mass meeting to be
called under the pretext of law and
order measure.
From this meeting those who have
been active in the graft prosecution
viii be excluded on the ground that
they have already refused to have
anything to do with a committee
which had been appointed to
straighten the tangle of municipal
government
