PETTIBONE ENTERS
VIGOROUS DENIAL

RENO, Sept. 12.-According to the
statement of prominent Chicago at
torney who had a great deal to say
in the appointment Of Judge Lands,
who fined Rockefeller about $29,-
100000 recently, George A. Petit
bone, now under indictment at Boise,
Idaho, was a Pinkerton detective and
was in the employ of the mine own
ers and the Pinkertons for the pur-
pose of introducing Harry Orchard to
Meyer and Haywood SO that he
might implicate them in the crimes
afterward committed in Colorado and
Idaho. These statements were made
to Judge C. f. Mack by the Chicago
attorney last Sunday afternoon in
Judge Mack's office, and the Chicago
attorney stated that he knew that
Geo. A. Pettibone would never be
brought to trial as result OF his
connections with the imne owners
and the Pinkertons.
A dispatch from Boise, emanatinf
from Pettibone, says the above is alb
solutely false. He contends that HI

Owners Association.

Bulk May Pass Through

CAIRO. May 12.-(Special.)-The Suez
canal committee has decided to withdraw
the regulations prohibiting the passage
through the canal of tank steamers carry
ing benzoin or petrol in bulk.
This decision is OF the greatest import
ance to motor car owners, motor omnibus
companies and all traders and others using
vehicles as 1t is expected that the price
of petrol viii be reduced by nearly 90 per
cent.
The chief supplies Of the spirit come from
the Dutch East Indies and in particular
from Sumatra and hitherto the tank steam
ers carrying 1t have been obliged TO make
their journey by way OF the cape
This of course besides necessitating their
carrying less benzoin by reason of the ex-
ira fuel required meant that about fifty
seven days were taken instead OF the thirty
one to thirty-three for the passage via the
Suez canal
With the same number Of vessels II will
in the future be possible to bring over a
larger quantity of benzoin.
