SHUT DOWN is TEMPORARY
Panhandle Shelter Will Soon
Resume Operations.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 29.-"The
closing down of the Panhandle
smelter at Ponderay has been done
simply for business reasons, fastened
by the fluctuation in the metal
market in the east. The company
has plenty of funds to CARRY on flu
ture work and Of late has been pr ON
ised further financing by cas- tern
capitalists who have visited the plant.
Papers for bringing about improve
ments at the smelter we're ready for
the signatures Of the investors when
the slump in Wall street came, break
ing up plans.' said 8. B. Phillips,
secretary and acting manager o. the
smelter company, who arrived yes
terday from the Ponderay plant.
MIR. Phillips says that the smelter
will be closed down but a short time
and will probably blow in Friday OF
Saturday of this week. He explains
the presence of customs officers at thC
plant as simply to protect those ores
which have been imported from Can
adian mining districts. Officers a
the plant have no direct jurisdiction
over United States ores on the smel-
ter siding.
81. Herbert Anderson, presiden
of the company, has not yet returned
from the east, where he has been ne
gotiating with his financial associ
ates. His return will mark the com
mencing Of q new era in affairs o
the plant. Men employed at tn
smelter will go back to work in q fey

DOLLAR CHANGES
FRAUD CASE PLEA
Enters Plea in Abatement But May
Refile First Plea

Considerable interest is being
manifested in the present term Of
United States District court which
convened at Moscow yesterday. What
particularly invites the attention Of
Occur d'Alene citizens is the alleged
land conspiracy involving two promi-
nent Iocators of st. Maries, George E.
Preston and A. +. Swisher and a
leading banker Of Occur d'Alene,
william Dollar, of the Exchange Ma
tional.
The complaint alleges that the CON
spiracy occurred in the year 1908.
The land involved lies in township
43 north, range 2 east, being located
in the neighborhood of Clarkia and
consists of three claims of 16O acres
each. This land, being covered with
an excellent grade of timber, has be-
come very valuable.
Just what the conspiracy consisted
Of has not been made clear. The
government processes to have a
strong case while the defense is just
as confident that there will be no
trial at all. 1t is the opinion of the
defendants attorneys that the case
will be thrown out of court on GER
tain teChnicalities If not for much
better reason, the lack Of merit.
Mr.. Dollar has already left for
Moscow to be present when his case
is called. He will be represented by
John Gray, of Wallace and the firm
of Graves & Graves. of Spokane, be.
sides the law firm of James Il. For
ney, of Moscow.

Dietrich is opposed to an adjourn

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 29.-The
associated banks of Spokane, begin
ming this morning, will pay all
checks through the clearing house
only, instead of making payments in
cash.
This plan of safeguarding the bus
mess and Industrial interests OF Spo-
kane and surrounding country Is
identical with that adopted at New
York, Chicago, st. Paul, Denever,
San Francisco and other cities.
Its effect will be to protect Spo-
kane against what otherwise would be
a severel drain Of its currency tn
other cities. 1t was adopted after q
number of local banks had been IN
formed by wire by their eastern con-
nections that those eastern eonneo'
tions would not ship the cash they
owed to the Spokane hanks, ou'
would instead pay their balances tC
the Spokane banks in checks through
eastern clearing bouseR.

adopted a resolution last night u
settle their own balances betWeeI

New York, Oct. 29.-The prinCi-
pal events In the financial district
today indicated that the worst of the
crisis was over and that conditions
were settling down to normal. There
were no further bank suspensions,
and reports we're favorable for the re-
sumption of most of the banks which
closed temporarily last week.
The engagement of SIS, $50, 900 in
gold from Europe for Importation to
New York was followed By the sensa-
tional announcement of sales of
American copper abroad, which will
further increase the tide of foreign
money to this country to an aggre-
gate of over s25, 900, 600. This,
with the rapid rise Of good securi
ties on the stock exchange, in some
cases as much ss and per cent,
and the policy Of the trust companies
not to pay out cruFrency for hoard
ing purposes, all COZ tributed to
strengthen the feeling in banking
circles and among the public at large.
Runs upon banks especially ceased,
partly because Of recognition that
they were unnecessary and unjusti'
liable, and partly because of the pol
icy adopted to pay large checks onll
In certified checks in depository
banks. This system Of paymen
worked no apparent hardship, anC
was the cause Of very little protest
Small checks were paid promptly ii
