der G. Denbigh arrived from Sibe-
ria yesterday with the information:
The people there are of the low

in heir observanoes of its pofnpous
forms
"In every house, no matter how
poor. there are an ikon of some kind
and a picture of a Saint. The pict-
ure of your president has gone al
over the world and can be found ir
many queer places. remember ask
ing one of my men from the IRA
Mountain district, who had never
heard of Roosevelt, what picture he
had in his hate. He told me it was
one of St. Peter without beard anc
with specks on.
Curious to- see such a picture
went to the hut and found that i

that he had f1le best good forufn1

sued a statement today confirming
SeeiletaIi of the Treasury Cortel-

IS CITED BY JUSTICE GOULD
SUPREME couRr
MUST DELIVER PMnhl B0A0s
As Government ADVERTISED Citation
is Based on the Petition Of George
w. Austin, Of New York. Whe Pro-
posed to Purchase $aooo.ooo Bonds
MUST DELIVER PllIlDl BONDS

Washington, Dec. I8.-Justice
Goulds of the district supreme court,
today cited George B. Cortelysou, sec
retary of the treasury, to appear IN
court on Fridsy, January 3, to show
cause why he should not be enjoined
from delivering the balance of the
$2I,45osooo of Panama. canal bonds
to American banks and persons to
whom he had announced auotments.
The citation is based on the pc
tition of George w. Austin, OF New
York. property owner in the Unit
ed States. Austin declares that lie
made a proposal to purchase a GER
tam amount of the Panama. canal
bonds of advertised issue to the
amount of S3,ooo.oooo. and says that
he agreed to- pay a rate ofsIos per
cent. accrued interest per- $500. and
on notice OF acceptance OF subserip-
ton stands ready to deposit the
amount.
1t is stated that there are NUM-
Der of others who made proposals for
these bonds, but who, like Austin
were refused same because the govern
ment, or Secretary Cortelyou, did
not deem it necessary to issue the
fill amount as first intended, anc
| these parties may follow the action
of Austin if he wins out in his case
against the secretary.
1t is mot thought by the majority
of the legal authorities IN this city
| however, that Austin has the slight
est change of winning his suit. The
issue of the Panama bonds was Z
movement TO relieve the finsncia
strnlgency of the money snarkea
more than anything else, and wller
it was seen that the while issue wa.
unnecessary, the bond issue wa.
stopped by the secretary of the treas
ury. ss
