Slippers play an important part il
the life of almost every man. In child
hood they are laid on him; in manhood
just after he has been married, they
are thrown after him, and for a con
siderable part of the rest of his life
they are under him.

Schmitz Deposed.

San Francisco.-Mayor Schmit1
was formally removed from Office by
the supervisors at their meeting. Su-
pervisor James Gallagher was named
as acting mayor in his place.
This is the first step by the graft
prosecution in the execution of their
plan to restore good government in
this city. The ground on which Mayor
Schmitz was removed is that owing
to his incarceration in the county Jail
following his conviction on a felony
charge he is no longer able to per-
form his official duties.
Gallagher will not hold the position
of acting mayor for more than few
days. The resignation of a certain
member of the board of supervisors
will make room for the appointment
of a responsible citizen who will
take Gallagher place as acting may.

MISSISSIPPI CULLIEGS
A Dry Town.

Yazoo City experienced last Sun
day the "dryest" spell in all of hen
checkered career.
Years ago, when the saloons were
first voted out of existence, the town
was thought to be fearfully "dry"
for many months thereafter, and, in
fact, was so, but now the lid is on
so tight and fast that only the pro-
duct of the artesian wells can be OBJ
tanned wherewith to allay the thirst
of man. y
1t all came about from a reserve Of
the powers that be that the Sunday
law should be rigidly enforced, and
that, in turn was one of the results
wrought by the Rev. George C. Gates,
who closed his religious revival here
last Sunday afternoon, when 900 con-
verts lined for handshaking on Main
street from the Tabernacle door
south.
At any rate the word was passed
around that everything must be closed
on Sunday hereafter in Yazoo City,
and consequently nothing but drugs
was sold Sunday.
No soda water or other light bev
erages no cigars, cigarettes or tobae-
co were to be had, and the large
crowds which usually congregate iii
holiday mood around the stores and
restaurants where the carbonated liq-
uids are dispensed in such copious
qantities, were not seen.
Most every one seemed to take the
new order Of things good naturedly,
but there is some dissatisfaction, and
the outcome of the effort to enforce
the law to the letter viii be watched
with keen interest.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1907-06-21

He said that he had given his figures
on the crop to Mr. Rogers, of Gates
& Co., who, as a result had bought
winter wheat and had suffered slight
loss. The figures Of the official report
were however, complete duplicate Of
Mr.. Holmes advance information.
A letter from Holmes to Van Ripper
under date of August 18, was intro
duced and read as follows:
"Other parties have changed their
plans slightly and I think it advisa-
bic for you to know about them. 1,
therefore, suggest that you come here
Saturday or Sunday or if you cannot
do so, for me to come to New York. -
Van Ripper said this letter had ref
ence to Prices plans which Holmes
had at first stated were to buy cotton
the latter pat of August on account
of his advices on the next cotton re-
port.
He had not come to Washington at
the time as suggested, but there had
been further correspondence relative
to the crop report, one letter from
Holmes dated August 80, reading:
eff you have bought any of the
stuff sell it and sell as much more
as you can in addition. We're going
to show slight decline and as this is
totally unexpected it vii send things
down like fury. Other parties are go
ing to close out Tear this up"
A letter from Peckham to Van
Ripper Of August 81 to the same effect
was also read. Mr.. Peckham also re-
quested that his letter be destroyed.
Van Ripper said that special cotton
was the "stuff" referred to in Hol-
mes letter and that as result Of The
letter referring to the cotton report
for September 3, he had sold cotton
"short' expecting the market to go
down.
He dealt again with Gates & Co.
and as had been predicted, there had
been a break in the market. He had
then realizd profit Of about $2,100,
of which he had paid Peckham two
thirdds.' -
The checks showing the payment
were exhibited They were endorsed
by Peckham and Holmes. Other let
ters and kilograms from Peckham
dated at Washington were read All
dealt with the cotton report, and all
purported to give inside information
He had been buying cotton through
September, but during the latter part
of that month he had come to Wash
ington to see Holmes, who had ad-
vised him to sell rather than buy
because the report would be bearish
rather than bullish.
In one Of his communications re-
ferring to then approaching October
report Peckham had used the ex-
preston: Best contact ever had, /"
and this the witness said was an
agreed upon expression indicating the
favorable condition of the arrange
ment with Holmes. The explanation
Of this fact led to an explanation Of
a system which the witness had made
with Holmes.
cit was agreed, he said, that if
anything went wrong on the day Of
the PRONUNCIATION Of the report Hol.
mes was to lower the window shades
in the statistician s room as warn
ing to Peckham. s
He added the explanation that this
was to be done in case of mistake

Washington-In Louis H. Van Ripper
a New York broker the government
introduced the first witness in the
trial of Edwin H. Holmes, Jr, who
directly connected Holmes with the
premature divulgence of the informa-
tion on which the cotton crop of the
agricultural department are based.
Mr.. Van Ripper was on the stand all
day.
He said that he had met Holmes
in 104 through F. A. Packhan and
that he had agreed to give them two
thirds Of any profits that might be
derived through stock deals made on
points supplied by Holmes.
He first met Holmes on the 7th Of
August, 1904, at hotel in this city,
said, whittier he came to meet him
on representations made from Fred
erick A. Peckham, of New York.
The witness said that the indica-
ton was made by Mr.. Peckham in
that gentleman room who stated
"This is the man l told you about
he is going to show you that he can
give you the advance figures on the
crop reports.''
Holmes, according to the witness,
hen proceeded to exhibit copies of
the crop bulletin and to tell him thas
he had partly made up the reports
and the Statistician Hyde had accept
ed his estimate.
Van Ripper said that Holmes also
told him that he had been supplying
information concerning the report to
other persons in New York as re-
suit of which he had accumulated
$4,000. Among those to whom he had
supplied the figures, according to Van
Ripper, was Theodore III. Price and
Moses Haas. Holmes also promised
Van Riper stated, to keep him advised
as to Prices operations. The witness
said it was agreed that profits would
be divided and that the information
should be given through Mr.. Peckham,
but in view of the absence of Peck
ham, the witness returned to Wash
ington to receive the figures on the
wheat report, which was to be pub
lished on August 10th.
He said that the second interview
Holmes had given him what he said
were the advance figures on the wheat
report and that he had written the
details in his check book and return
ed to New York. Holmes had then
told him that the report would place
the average yield of winter wheat
at 1908 bushels to the acre and had
given S7-5 as showing the condition
of spring wheat. There was objection
TO telling what had happened in New
York, but the question was admitted.
