SHELTERS WARNED
Bonaparte Suspects Leak in
Justice Department.
INVESTIGATION BEING MADE.
Attorney General Discovers that Al
legged Trust Manager Received
En-Iv Information Concerning Gov
crnment's Inquiry for Purpose of
Instituting Proceedings.

Attorney General BOnaparte and his as
s.5tants are investigating the possibility
or there having been a leak" In the De
plrtment Of Justice regarding its inquiry
into the methods Of the Smelter trust.
This IS due 70 the discovery Of the fact
tat the insiders" Of the alleged trust
gained knowledge some time ago that the
Federal officials were preparing, if posi-
he, TO institute proceedings to break the
merger.
I have positive information that the
Snelter people knew Of the investigation
several months ago." said a Washington
nan, who speculates on the New York
Stock Exchange. yesterday. They knew
OF It almost Immediately after It began.
That was why they unloaded. By selling
at prices ranging from 1G0 and slightly
lower, and allowing the market to slump
of TO 12o or less. they placed themselves
in a position TO buy It back at a lower
figure and realize enormous profits. The
trust people are. therefore, in a position
TO squeeze the short interest which might
get into the market. and sell now IN the
hope Of a further fall I'm quotation.
Warns Public 10 beware.
Consequently. it is my Judgment that
the public would better beware. The ef-
feet Of the investigation has been thor
oughly discounted in advance, and have
no doubt the managers Of the Smelter
trust anxiously hope that a lot of small
traders will sell heavily. believing the
stock viii sell of AZ materially lower
prices. and that they will be able to de-
liver at a profit
For the first time the statement was
published Yesterday that the government
investigation was proceeding and had
been i'm progress for four months. That
was the first information that reached
the public. Yet Smelling common stock
opened yesterday morning az 1l9 3-S, which
was the close Tuesday. The stock has
been ranging from ia - 10 40 rs The
fluctuations during each days trading
averaging one TO two points.
Interest CeHters in Guggenheim.
Washington is asking the question.
What relationship does the new Senator
from Colorado. Simon GUggenheim. main
tain toward the Smeter trust? His whole
fortune has been built UP through the

pany. the American Shelters Securities

Senator Guggenheim has been charged
with controlling politics in Colorado
through his Smelter operations. He takes
his seat next December for the first time
as q Senator Of the United States. Com
mCnt has been excited as To what position
he will be forced into if during the next
five months before Congress COuvenes Tho

claimed, already the Department of JUS

Sitting ten yards from the scene Of the
accident, Wilbur Loveless was found with
his head in his hands. He was the brake
man Of the freight train, and he, TOO, had
remained at his post on the rear Of the
car while the speeding passenger car ap-
preached him. with the impact he was
torn from his position. but his ankles
caught in the rails and were almost sew

that his 'fect stung" him. He tried to
rise. but fell back fainting lie was
taken to the hospital in an automobile.
and until he was put under the anaes-

In the meantime word had been sent

busy telephoning for doctors. When the
first patient arrived a large and efficient
corps was on band and there was no
delay In examining the victims and put

IS TO HAVE MORE WORK
PLANS OF DEPARTMENT AS TO
WASHINGTON NAVY YARD.

The Washington navy yard is to have an
increased amount of work, if present plans
of the Navy Department are carried out,
and Il is said to be almost certain that the
force of machinists will have to be in
creased for the next three years. Those
who are interested in booming the local
works and who take pride in the guns
turned out there are very much gratified
because the government has found it neces-
sary in the past few days to send to the
ward thirty six-inch gun mounts, made
elsewhere, for overhauling because they did
not pass inspection.
Some twelve-inch mounds made in an out
side shop were recently sent from Indian
Head for corrections, and that fact is
also pointed to with pride by those who be-
lieve that the best guns the government
gets are turned out in Washington by ma
chinists who wo: < under the eight-hour- "a
day law.

were sent here to avoid the payment of

to mean great deal by machinists.

Comparison With Business Salari.
Effect of Proposed Change.

1t is stated that the results of the appli-
cation of the proposed schedule, according
to the principles set down therein, would
be the raising of salaries of all clerical
positions below $500 year to that amount;
the REIMBURSEMENT of salaries of the drec-
tive and supervisory positions and profess
siOnal, technical and scientific positions,
according to the character of work and
responsibility, which would bring about an
increase for many, but not by any means
for all such positions; the readjusting of
salaries for the intermediate positions be-
tween 500 and the supervisory grades,
now distributed into a few regular and
many irregular classes, 80 as to dfstrib-
ute them into fourteen regular classes
which will mean reductions for some and
promotions for Others.
The commission recommended that Con-
gress be asked to make an appropriation of
a sum equivalent to 10 per cent of the
total amount provided for in the pending
appropriation bills for the payment Of
salaries whether statutory or paid from
lump sums) of employees of each of the
bureaus and offices of the executive de-
partments and independent establishments
in Washington for the purpose Of carrying
out the plan as outlined.

JOHNSON GETS
BIG SALARY

WEISER, July 27.-From appear
ances, an extension of the baseball
schedule for this year is ancient his
tory. Several of the Weiser team have
become tired of waiting for something
to be done, and are leaving for other
places, having secured position with
clubs of those cities. Walter Johnson,
the pitcher, left this morning for
washington, D. c., and Guy Meats, the
splendid catcher of the team, has ac-
copied a position with the Spokane
club of the Northwest league, and 1t
is expected others will leave for other
points in a day or two.
The American league sent johnson
a draft for $3.50 to pay his expenses
to Washington. Upon his arrival there
and as soon as he signs the contract
with the club, he will receive bonus
of $500 and ticket to his home in
southern California and placed on the
pay roll at $500 per month. It Is not
expected he will play with the club
this season but will begin training with
them in the winter. Johnson is q fine
