DELEGATES TO THE
IRRIGATION CONGRESS-

Congressman Burton of Ohio,
chairman of the Inland Waterways
commission, has notified the chair
man of the executive committee of
the National Irrigation congress, that
the commission will be represented
at the fifteenth session of the con-
gress in Sacramento in September
The following members of the COM
mission have been delegated by Mr..
Burton to represent that body in the
irrigation congress: Senator Francis
Newlands of Nevada, Representative
John II. Bankhead of Alabama, Gif-
ford Pinchot, United States forester;
F. Fl. Newell, director reclamation
service. and DR.. w. J. McGee, secre-
tary of the commission, and former
president of the National Geographic
cal society,"
AS has been already stated the
presence of members of this very i'm
-portant body will be an important
factor in the National Irrigation con-
gress. To what extent the specific
work of the commission will figure
in the discussion cannot be foretold,
but it is certain that the larger effort
in the direction of the streams and
the preservation of their watersheds
will form an important topic of gem
eral discussion.

All Grain Lower.

CHICAGO, June 24.-All the local
grain markets were weak today, be-
cause of liberal selling by longs. At
the close September wheat was off
"a @7-Sc. Oats were down 1 3-S
.@1 1-2c. Corn was 5-8@3-4c low
err. Provisions were 1-2 q 10c
higher.
The wheat market opened firm be-
cause of an advance of more than
Id in Liverpool and because of de-
crease of 100000 bushels in the
amount of bread stuff on ocean pas
sage. The strength, however, was
short lived. A sharp break in the
price of oats caused lively selling by
pit traders. The fear of a general
strike of telegraphers also weakened
prices. The weather conditions in
this country and Canada were favor
able for the new crop and this was
a bearish influence. The close was
weak with prices close to the lowest
point of the day. September opened
Ia @3-8c to 1-2@5-Sc higher, at
95 1-2e to 95 3-4c, declined to "a

SUIT IN EQUITY
AGAINST ROADS
BY GOVERNMENT
Charge Fraudulent Entries of Coal
Land in Interest of Defend
ants.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 24.--As
a result of the Interstate Commerce
commission hearing in this city and
Salt Lake and the subsequent inves-
tigation by the department of justice
of the United States, suit in equity
was filed in the United States circuit
court this afternoon by the United
States government against the Union
Pacific Railway company. the Union
Pacific Coal company, the Superior
Coal company, VIM. d. Cornish of
New Jersey, vice president of the I'm
ion Pacific Railway company and
Dyer o. Clark, president and general
manager of the Union Pacific Coal
company and the Superior Coal COM
pany. Thecharge specified that 29
entries of coal land have been fraud
ulently made by the individuals
named, for the use and in the in
terest of the defendants. This land
is alleged to be worth about $600,00
and the bill in equity asks that the
patents on the land be cancelled,
that an injunction be issued restrain
ing the further working of this land
by the defendants andthat they be
compelled to give an accounting of
all the coal mined, produced or sold,
upon this land.

WAR TALK IN SENSA-
TIONAL PRESS IGNORED

TOXIC, June 24.-Public excite
ment over the American question has
almost passed away, but the agitation
is still going on. 1t Is mostly the
work of politicians who are employ
ing the question as a weapon for at
tack upon the ministry.
The progressives and coterie of
politicians called the Daido club will
likely join hands in a combined at
tack on the ministry over the Ameri-
can question, thir principal aim being
to thereby strengthen their respective
positions in the coming election of
local assemblies and also in the gen.
eral election of next year. Their
principal watchword is the diplo-
matte .impotency of the Saionji cab
met, which has resulted, they say, in
suffering to campatriots in America
and inability to receive treatment
worthy of the subjects of first class
power.
1t is difficult to foretell how far
they can succeed in stirring up the
public, but whatever attempts are
made in the way of agitation, actual
hostilities with the United States are
not even dreamed of.
The war talk in some of the
American press is totally ignored.

Financial Review.

NEW YORK, June 24.-The Sc
curities market of the world were
heavy and apathetic during the
whole of last week, prices fiuctuat-
ing feebly in every direction. There
was no evidence of liquidation, but
the demand was PROSTATE and no
power of recovery could be per-
ceiyed.
The strain of the semi-annual set
Elements caused some anxiety, the
markets evidently awaiting the pass
ing of that critical period. The for
eign money situation is the occasion
of even greater anxiety than that in
this country. The position abroad,
however, is directly reflected in our
own markets by the withdrawal of
gold from New York to build up the
reserve in Paris. The motives in
the French demand for gold are can
vassed with interest. One obvious
motive is the purpose of the Bank of
France to recoup itself for advances
made to other markets during the
strain of last fall and winter. Many
millions of discount bills were taken
in the London market, especially
from the Bank of France to mitigate
the strain there for the guarding of
the financial position of the world,
which would be affected by any trou-
bles in London. There were many
large advances made to the Berlin
market also. Meantime trade con-
tinued very active in France until the
French bank found itself many mil
lions below the gold holdings of
year ago, while its loans and note is
sues were much greater.
Prices of stocks here show the
same unresponsiveness to current de-
velopments which seem to show a
check to domestic trade. There are
various such trade developments.
The backward spring has resulted in
some accumulation of mercantile
stocks and orders for future needs
are affected to some extent.

LOVING TRIAL
MOVED VERY
RAPIDLY

HOUSTON, Va, June 24.-The
trial of former Judge W. G. Loving
for the murder of Young Theodore
Estes, a sequel of a buggy ride which
Estes took with Loving's daughter,
moved rapidly today, and when court
adjourned this afternoon the prose-
cution had rested and the defense
had begun its case. The progress in
the trial was remarkable. Before ad-
journment of the morning session a
jury had been secured, mostly middle
aged men, and all but three of them
married, eleven of them being farm
ers, the lone exception being
merchant. The taking of evidence
began upon the reconvening of the
court and late this afternoon the
commonwealth rested its case and
Judge Loving, whose defense is the
unwritten law, had taken the wit
ness stand in his own behalf

COLORED MAN DREW A
GUN AND WAS ARRESTED

Albert Finley is in trouble. Fin
ley is a colored man and is accused
of having f1ourished gun in a
threatening manner in the presence
of two or more persons. His case
came up yesterday afternoon before
Judge Brown and the defendant was
represented by Attorney Walker. His
attorney moved to quash the COM
plant on the ground that it did not
follow the words of the statute and
that the entire facts of the alleged
crime were not mentioned. District
Attorney Eddy replied that it was
not necessary to incorporate the en-
tire form in the statute. The court
denied the motion and Finley en-
tered plea of not guilty. His trial
was set for today and his bail was
fixed at $50.

SENSATIONAL
ALLEGATIONS IN
A MINING SUIT
Robinson Mining Company Wants
Judgment for $4,000 Shares of
Stock.

The Robinson Mining company is
the plaintiff in a mining suit that
has been begun here and that prom
ises to prove rather sensational. The
defendants are Richard A. Reipe,
Henry M. Fulmer and Ray R. Ives.
Numerous allegations are made in
the complaint and the affair seems
to be rather tangled up. There will
certainly be several peculiar points
for the court to decide.
According to the papers filed with
the county clerk, on or about De-
cember 8, 1906, Reipe and Herman
Bass, claiming the ownership of Sun
shine claims Nos. l, 2, 3, 4, 8, and
Hexton lode claim in Robinson dis
trict, decided the mines to the plain
tiff with the understanding that they
would receive 114,2S5 shares.
The allegations contiue that one
o. H. Paulson relocated the claims
on the ground that the original own
ers had failed to comply with the law
in regard to locating mining prop
erty. A compromise was effected
and Paulson was given claims No. 3
and No. 5 and the Hexton lode claim
This, it is said, was according to
Reipe's wishes, and he was to turn
over to the plaintiff $4,000 shares.
The next step in the seemingly
mixed-up affair is the allegation that
Fulmer & Ives sold to Thomas O'Neil
102,780 shares, thereby placing
Reipe is such position that he
couldn't comply with the agreement
with the plaintiff to deliver the 50,-
600 shares, 1t is asserted in the
complaint that Fulmer &
Ives had no right to aid
Reipe in the alleged scheme to de-
fraud the company out of the 50,-
900 shares. The allegations continue
to the effect that Bertha Ives was
assigned %, 900 shares and Hulse
$4,000 for the sole purpose of pre-
venting the plaintiff from receiving
the $4,000 shares, and that they
merely hold it in trust.
The complaint reads that the
plaintiff is the owner of large and
valuable mines that are capitalized
for 81 100000 at 81 share, and
that the value of the stock is de-
pendent upon the development and
production of rich ore. The stock
is now valued at SO cents but ac-
cording to the complaint should be
placed at SO.
The plaintiff asks for the $4,000
shares of stock and for judgment for
costs. S. d. Crump is the attorney
for the plaintiff

SCHMITz AND
CORPORATION
OFFICIALS
Ask TO Have Indictments Set Aside
On Technical Errors.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-Six
under indictment of the Oliver grand
jury for the crimes of bribery-Pres-
ident Calhoun, General Manager Null
lally, Chief Counsel Ford and AS
sistant Counsel Abbott, of the United
Railways; Vice President Glass of
the Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph company, and Mayor Eu-
gene E. Schmitz, through their at
torneys, made determined efforts to-
day to have Superior Judge Lawler
set aside the indictments against
them on the grounds of technical
error After two sessions of court
had been consumed in the presenta-
tion Of evidence in support of their
contei ions, the hearing was ad-
jou'ned until O'Clock tomorrow,
when arguments will be presented
and authorities submitted.
Among the more serious of the al
legations of the defendants are
these:
That the official minutes of the SUI
perior court do not show that the
present grand jury was sworn or that
the previous grand jury was dis
charged; that the clerk of the court
made inyalidating errors in drawing
the names from which the present
grand jury was selected that at
least one of the many indictments re-
turned was altered by the district at
torney's Office after it had been voted
by the grand jury.
Judge Lawler ruled that the defec>
tive court minutes could be corrected
by an order from Judge Graham di-
recting the erring clerk to insert the
neglected entries
Mayor Schmitz' attorneys today
withdrew from the district court of
appeals his petition for admittance
to bail through writ of habeas cor
pus and gave the explanation that
technical omissions in the document
necessitated its reframing. 1t was
reported that a new petition will be
filed tomorrow.
Judge Lawler at noon made an or
der at the request of Attorney Drew,
directing the sheriff to take the i'm
prisoned mayor to his (SchmitzD
home for luncheon with his family.
Abraham Ruef, late in the after
noon was called to answer to 90 of
the so odd indictments charging him
with bribery of municipal officials
IA in connection with the gas rate
deal and IA in connection with the
issuance of the United Railways troll
ley franchise.
Ruef, through his attorney, moved
to set aside the indictments on the
grounds that were urged by the other
defendants. The motion was set for
hearing Thursday before Judge Law
Ter.
Eugene Deslab, John Martin and
Frank Drum, officials of the San
Francisco Gas and Electric COM
pany, who were indicted jointly with
Ruef and Schmitz, will be called to
answer at II o'clock tomorrow.
The grand jury met in special ses-
sion tday and began an .investiga-
tion into an ambushing of an Eddy
car of the United Railway company
last Saturday loaded with detectives,
who warded off the attack. The lat
ter have turned states evidence, and
it is said that they have confessed to
the details of a conspiracy which ex-
listed with the knowledge of certain
labor leaders interested in the pres
ent strike against the street car
company. The grand jury will con-
tinue its investigation tomorrow
morning.

CAUGHT INDIAN
IN ACT OF STEAL.
ING A HORSE
Fred Walker Apprehended the Eel
low and Took Him to
Jail.

Fred Walker caught an Indian last
Sunday night in the act of stealing
Ed Gray's fast sorrel mare. The
highly priced animal was in the barn
a short distance from Walkers
house.
A short time ago Walker broke
his arm and although he was badly
handicapped he armed himself with
his revolver and made an investiga-
ton of the noise he heard in the
barn. There he found Mr.. Indian
and he straightway placed him under
arrest and took him to Jail. The
prisoner came UP before Justice
Cartwright yesterday and it was
learned he was drunk at the time of
the trouble. The court took this in
to consideration and sentenced him
90 serve ten days in jail,

FOREIGN SITUATION
IMPORTANT FACTOR

NEW YORK, June 24.-What has
come to be known more or less
vaguely as the Foreign Situation, .
was the only factor of Importance in
today's market. Gold to the amount
of SO, 100000 was engaged for ship
ment to Paris tomorrow, making a
total outflow to that center on the
present movement of over $21, ,00O,-
600, asum well in excess of all ori-
ginal estimates. In all probability
additional engagements to London as
well as Paris will be announced in
the course of the week. 1t is under
stood the Bank of England will con-
tinue it's offers of Especial facilities"
to attract the yellow metal to its
vaults. There was little news bear
ing on conditions abroad, though
private advices were hardly en-
couraging. 1t is apprehended that
the London settlement, which begins
tomorrow, may be attended by some
strain on local financial resources.
Cables from the German capital al
SO expressed fear of a crash in the
steel and iron industry, this being
traceable to the recent depreciation
in the shares of great foundry and
furnace companie Sof Berlin, Ham,
burg, Frankfort and other industrial
centers. Banking interest with Paris
connections reported the situation in
the wine producers provinces as still
critical. To add to these various
adverse influences abroad, there was
another sharp decline in copper
metal in the London market. On the
local stock market there were fire.
quent periods of utter stagnation and
theonly stocks that showed even
slight activity were Union Pacific,
Reading and Amalgamated Copper.
These more than divided the bulk of
the days business, which manifested
some slight activity in the final deal
ings and closed at thebest prices of
the day. Participants in the late up
ward movement included Rock Is
land and the Hill issues. At no time
during the day was there any spres-
sure to sell, and throughout the tone
was one of quiet strength. The un-
precedented sum of $1S9, 900, 600 is
to be disbursed in interest and diyi-
dend payments during the coming
month. These payments are usu-
ally anticipated by investors, who
seek the most attractive channels of
investment. Thus far the demand
has largely been limited to the va
rious short term notes issued in the
early months of the year, but it is
said that this vast amount of idle
capital will soon find partial out
let in bonds and stocks of the better
class. Money conditions were with
out material change for call loans,
but stiffening of time accommoda-
tions were reported.
Railroad bonds were irregular.
Government bonds unchanged.
Total sales, par value, $714,000.
