New Move Against inhabitants of the Tenderloin.

The United States grand jury yes terday returned an indictment against Lee Ford and Dolly Ford charging them with a conspiracy to commit an offense against the laws of the United States. This is the first action of this kind ever taken in the territory and if it should be made to succeed a long step will have been made in the matter of breaking up prostitution in the territory.
 It is charged that on July 1 the de- fendants entered into a conspiracy by which the women was to enter into a house of prostitution contrary to the laws of the United States and that on July 10 she did enter such a house and has since been engaged in viola ton of the law.
 The women is an old offender, hav- ing been a resident of the city for years. The man is said to belong to that class of society whose members are designated as macs. Action might have been begun against any one or two of a dozen habitues of that part of town and it is understood that if this one is sustained other pro- secutions will follow.
 There were two indictments, in one of which the parties are alleged to be man and wife and in the other they are each alleged to be unmarried

A NAHON'S GUEST
 THf SIGNAL HONOR
Which the Republic Of Mexico is Be- slowing Upon Secretary Root.

Tampico, Oct. 10.-(Special Core spondence of The Republican.)- The action of President Diaz and wife in receiving Secretary Root. wife and daughter, as guests in their own home at the beautiful Chapultepec Castle in the City of Mexico, indicates the good feeling existing between the two nations The following extract from Statesman Barron's address at the Root reception in the City of Mex ico, yesterday is worthy of the attan- tion of every American. The Amer jeans are at home in our country. They have here not only a vast field in which to invest money With the cer- tainty of profit, but they receive in the intercourse of daily life with IS, regard and obedience from their work men. affection from their friends, good faith from their dealers, and protection and justice from the authorities. Ask of your countrymen living here as to the accuracy of these statements, and let us know if I have spoken the truth.
 No less is our respect and admira- ton of President Roosevelt, than yours for President Diaz. When we gaze at the great ruler of the United States, struggling with all the strength of his powerful intellect and iron will against the rich corporations which commit abuses with their millions. violating the laws to the detriment of the gen- eral welfare, fearless as he is of their schemes and of their power to discredit his wise government; when We con template him as displayed in his achievement for the well being and prosperity of his people, all the virtue

NO CHANGING THE LOG.

On a certain ship the mate was too fond of the cup that cheers. The captain did his utmost to break him of this habit, and. everything else failing, told him that the next time he was drunk ne would write it in the log. For a long time after this the mate stopped drinking. but one day he fell into his old habit. Thereupon the captain wrote the following entry in the Iog:
 August F, 19-; 6O deg. north longitude 70 deg west latitude. Mate Jones is drunk today"
 The mate begged him to take this off, saving that it would spoil his chances of ever being made captain of a ship. But the captain said Its true. isn't it?''
 Yes: but" replied the mate.
 "welr' said the captain -the rec ord stands"
 A few days later the mate had tO write the entry. On looking over the log the amazed captain saw this en- try:
 August 15, 1s-; so deg. north longitude. 67 deg. west latitude Capt Smith is sober toda-.'
 He sent for the mate and demanded what he meant by such an entry. or dering him to talk it off.
 "Welr said the mate. its true. isn't it?
 "Of course it's true" rOared the captain.
 Then the record stands" replied the mate.-Judge's Library.

THE. RESURRECTION
 OF BEAUMONT, GAL.
A "Boom" Town That Has Failed to
 Come 70 Life Again.

Los Angeles oct. 11.-Typical of the resurrection of many town failures dating back twenty years ago. is the new birth of Beaumont. This was one of the towns staked out by people from Los Angeles with all the enthus- iasm that excursion trains, brass bands and free lunch could induce There was nothing the matter with the location, the fertility of the lands or the transportation facilities avail able. but the town did not boom. The time was not ripe for it. and it's thir- ty miles of graded streets. 10000 shade trees and water system could not in- duce investors to invest.
 But the boom of 1888 in the back waters of which Beaumont was caught has come again in another form. In the intervening years all southern California has become a garden, an orchard. or a vineyard. Today it is still expanding, and in the search for room in which to grow, Beaumont has been revived. Chicago capital has been put into the undertaking. and the land round about will be sold in five or twenty acre plots with water for irri- gation. The soil is volcanic, mixed with vegetable mold of the kind that produces California's phenomenal crops. Even the old neglected shade trees and orchards planted by the boomers of 1888 have fIourished. The Sunset route of the Southern Pacific passes the door, ready to carry the

 Robert Bentley and James Roack. who has been indicted on the charge of selling liquor to Indians were ar raigned and pleaded guilty. They waived time for the passing of sen three months in the county jail and to pay fine of S100. A similar fine was imposed upon Roach but his jail sentence was fixed at two months.
 No bills having been returned against Paomn and Juan Luiz the h. dians who had been held for cutting wood on the Sacaton reservation. they were brought into court and dis charged. Maneul ViIlanueva who had been held on the charge of selling li- quor to an Indian was also discharged.
 Arthur Cameron an Indian who had appear before the grand jury as a wit ness and who failed was brought up yesterday for contempt. He was ord dered committed to the custody of the United States marshal until he, should testify and then to be discharged, the proceedings to be had at the cost of the government.
 The greater part of the deliberations of the grand jury in the afternoon re lated to the charge against the Peo- ple's Ice and Fuel company which had come down as an inheritance for the last grand jury. Members of the com pany and others were before the body but late in the afternoon report was submitted ignoring the case.

 Investors in other boom towns that failed years ago may perhaps take heart from the lesson of Beaumont. which is only one of many communi- ties rescued froms former failure by the newer developh) ent of the west.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

A large portion of the time given to the
call at the meeting today of-the stock ex-
change was devoted to the stocks of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. There was nothing specially unusual
about that, as OF the stocks listed-on the
exchange they are the most generally and
largely traded in and naturally take up
good deal of the time of the meetings each
day. Just now they are receiving special
attention, which is due to the fact that,
owing to the unsettled condition of the
larger market of Wall street, which affects
the market here. there is some uncertainty
as to what would shappen in the case OF
these securities.
1t has been supposed all along, on account
of such large blocks both of the common
and of the preferred stocks to say nothing
of the per cent bonds, having been
placed in this market in the past year or
so, that considerable weakness might be
discovered in the event of any strain on the
market. 1t Is the general verdict here that
such apprehensions were not well founded.
as 1t Is thought these securities have wealth
cred the storm in remarkably steady fash
ion. In fact, it Is the belief the experience
of the past week has brought out the TACT
that these securities are more strongly held
than has been thought was the case. =
There has been practically no liquidation
in the stocks, which have gone Off IN the
past week some five or six points. 1t has.
of course, happened that those who use
their holdings as collateral have been called
upon to remargin Either everybody has
been able to do That or else the securities
are held outright, and either conclusion
demonstrates that they are held in strong
hands.
Today there was but little done either In
the common or in the preferred stocks. In
the case Of the common stock the transac-
tons were limited to the sale OF an option
at 36k and of fifty shares at 36As. the lat
ter showing an advance over the bid price,
which at the close yesterday was 3oA. To-
day the closing figures were 36 bid and 361s
asked.
AS was the case yesterday. fractional lots
of the preferred stock were wanted at
about 80. and were supplied at that level.
The bid for fifty shares was an eighth of a
point less than that. while the asking price
was 81. 49,.
A couple of lots of gas stock. consisting
of twenty-five shares each, sold for 81, and
there was more to be had at the same
price, but the bid did not reach that level
within an eighth of a point Within the
past week the decline in this stock has
been only about half point but. of course,
like NOSE of the securities on the list, there
have been no selling orders to speak OF.
Some trading was done in Mitchell Min
ing at Az and 41s. making nearly point
falling off in recent days. while Greene
Copper was to be had at PAN.
