more than 60 years. The debt was
one which the lapse of years had
wiped out so far as legal RESPONSE
bllity was concerned. About the year
1914 there was partnership in the
salt business between Joseph (after-

neys and she ordered the debt, grown
through interest from $4,000 TO $50
900, discharged.

in Securing His Indictment
for Land Frauds,

Boise, Idaho, Sept 12.--Judge Diet
rich in the federal court this morning
issued an order for a special grand
jury to appear Thursday, September
10. The order was issued at the in
stance of Judge c. M. Burch, special
assistant attorney general OF the
United States, who is here for the
purpose of inquuiring into certain
matters in connection with the Idaho
land frauds. Owing to the statement
of Judge Dietrich that no grand jury
would be called for this term the or
der created great surprise 1t is un-
derstood that the order is really the
result of plea i'm abatement filed By
the attorneys for Frank Martin, one
OF the men indicted with United States
Senator Borah and others. which plea
makes serious and sensational charges
of misconduct on the part of United
States Attorney RurC. These charges
are that United States Attorney Ruick
used force and coercion in securing
the Indictment of Borah and his fell
low defendants and are supported by
affdavits of three Of the grand jury
men. They assert that Ruick argued
the case before the jury and presented
the indictments in blank which he in
sisted the jurors should sign before he
would leave the room. Similar affi-
davits are to be prepared by other
members of the recent grand jury,
according to the attorneys in the case.

shut down its mines about Butte,
Mont for an indefinite period From
an Interest closely identified with the

According to the authority for the
announcement. there is now sur
plus of 50.000,000 pounds of refined
copper in the United States. The pro-
ducton of refined copper in Septem-
Der, he said, would be 100000
pounds less than in August. The pres
ent price as quoted in the market is
about is cents per pound for cleo
trOlytic, but according to the author
cents a pound could be obtained for
any considerable quantity.
Amalgamated Copper company's
sharp decline led to sharp declines on
the stock market this afternoon, stocks
selling down to a loss of almost four
