San Francisco, Feb. 15.-A private
detective agency and the police depart
ments Of Oakland and San Francisco
are endeavoring to locate in China an
American born Mongolian, Woo Ang,
by name, who recently raised draft
from IS to $1,000, secured a bill Of
exchange for the latter sum from an
Oakland bank, sailed across the Pa
cific and cashed the draft in Hong
Kong. The police theory is that the
Chinese worked with a confederate In
person Of man named Woods. The
job began in the state of Kentucky
where Woods bought a draft for SIS
on the Hanover National bank of New
York. The draft was transferred to
Woo Ang, from all appearances.
Whether Woods or the Chinese did
the raising act is not known, but Woo
cashed his bill of exchange in Hong
Kong before the fraud was discovered
and beyond the fact that he is In
China, the detectives have no clue to
his whereabouts.

London, Feb. 15.-While the Ameri-
can leather trust, so called, is having
its own troubles at home, more trouble
is brewing for it on this side of the
water. Custom house officials at var
ious ports have just discovered that
the leather exported to this country
from America is being adulterated by
glucose. Leather is sold by weight,
and the American exporters, 1t is said,
have been in the habit of adding to 1t
from fifteen to thirty per cent of glu-
cose with the object of increasing the
weight. AS glucose in dutiable ar
ticle, large consignments of glucose
loaded leather have accordingly been
held up at various ports. and the i'm
porters may have to pay duty. The
London leather merchants declare that

and Section 159 of the constitution,
which relates to the other educational
institutions, provides that 'tthe pro-
ceeds of all such lands as remain
unsold, shall be inviolably appropri-
ated and applied to the specific OBJ
jects of the original grants or gifts"
This relates back to Section IL of the
enabling act before referred to, which
provides that the proceeds of the sale
Of such land shall constitute a perma-
nent school fund, the interest of which
only can abe expended in the support
Of said schools; and Section 159 fur
ther provides that such funds, that
is, the fund arising from the proceeds
of sale Of such public lands shall be
deemed trust fund held by the state
and the state shall make good all
losses thereof. The provisions of the
constitution are mandatory and there
is a moral obligation on the part of
the legislature to comply with the pro-
visions of the constitution that have
called your attention to.
In view of the conditions which
have presented, earnestly recommend
that you take such action as IN your
Judgment the emergency and the con-
stitution Of your state demand, and
that you in making your approprla-
tions be careful to keep within the
income of the state and not throw
the responsibility upon the executive.
The state institutions which We have
must be maintained, but under the
conditions which I have called your
attention to, the legislative assembly
should be careful about incurring new
liabilities.

Vienna, Feb. 15.-A despatch from
Athens says a great sensation has
been created in that city by the rob-
berry Of 100000 in jewels belonging to
Queen Olga of Greece. A maid serv-
ant has been arrested, and had con-
fessed that on various occasions she
took precious stones and valuable
medals. These she gave to German
goldsmith who was her sweetheart,
and he replaced them by counterfeits
to delay the discovery of the thefts.
All efforts to find the goldsmith have
so far been fruitless and it is believed
by the authorities that he has made
good his escape to America.

SYSTEM DISCOVERED
Alleged Gigantic Fraud Dis
covered by British Revenue
Officers in London.

London, Feb. 15.-A gigantic scheme
on the part of a firm of distillers to
defraud revenue is reported to have
been unearthed by the island revenue
officers. The latter, it is asserted, dis
covered a system of underground
pipes through which whiskey was colt
veyed from the distillery to duty
paid warehouse, whence 1t was dis
trtbuted to the trade, thus escaping
tax of $2.75 per gallon. The revenue
authorities are said to have demanded
payment of a fine of 100000 on the
smuggled liquor. The matter will be
brought up in parliament

BUTCHERS WANT DAMAGES.
City Of Fargo is Asked to Pay John
Hauser $4,000 and Others May
Ask $4,000.


Fargo, n. D., Feb. 15.-John Hauser
of Hauser Bros, Front street meat
merchants, presented bill to the city
of Fargo through the city auditor for
$4,000 damages for personal disabil-
ity in the shape of rheumatism, al
legged to have been contracted through
being compelled to butcher stock at
the city slaughter house, which the
petitioner declares is unsanitary and
as a result of the conditions prevail
ing he is suffering from rheumatism,
which renders him practically dis
abled. A copy of the bill was also
left with the city attorney.
The action of the city council in the
matter will be awaited and in case
the bill is denied it is probable that
suit for damages for the amount
will be instituted against the city in
the courts.
Mr.. Hauser stated yesterday that
the action taekn by him is merely a
forerunner of concerted action by
many of the butchers of the city, who
will ask the city to pay them in the
aggregate the sum of 100000 dam
ages for personal disabilities, alleged
to have been contracted through being
compelled to butcher in the city
slaughter house, which, they claim, is
unsanitary.
The step taken by Mr.. Hauser is an
outgrowth of the passage of the city
meat inspection ordinance, which pro-
vides for a central city slaughter
house, and imposes certain restric-
tions, which the council believed were
in the interest of the public health,
and protection against the disposal
of improper meat to the people of the
city.
While City Attorney Resser did not
state yesterday what recommendation
he would make to the city council
next Monday evening, it is foregone
conclusion that no action will be TAX
en- having for its object the payment
of the sum demanded by Mr.. Hauser.

SANTE FE CUTOFF
New Line to Connect With
Pecos Division rin Texas
Ready for Use.

Austin, Texas, Feb. 15.-It is now
expected that the new cutoff which
the Santa Fe railroad is building a
cross a portion of New Mexico to
connect its transcontinental line with
the Pecos valley division in Texas
at Texico will be ready for operation
before the end of the present month.
The completion of this line will af-
ford the Santa Fe new transcontin-
entail route between a point on its
line in Kansas and albuquerque, N. NJ,
and will be used exclusively for it's
through business to and from Cali
fornia. The Southern Kansas division
and the Pecos Valley line will be used
as links in this new route, which will
traverse the Panhandle of Texas, in
stead of by way of La, Junta, Colo,
and down through New Mexico, as
heretofore. y
The new line will not only save
about twenty-four hours time for
passenger trains between Chicago and
San Francisco, but it will also effect
an enormous saving in the cost of
operation. The heavy grades of the
La Junta route have beer the source
of heavy cost.
The new route is through portion
of Texas which is developing very
rapidly. Thousands Of new settlers
have gone into that region during the
past year and the number is expected
to be vastly increased before the end
of 1907.
