BULLION
PROMOTERS
GUILTY
JURY FINDS AGAINST
ALLEGED MINE FAKIRS
Charge of Using the Mails to
Defraud Sustained Against
Colorado and New Mexico
Defendants,

Denver, Aug. 27-The jury in the
federal court here tonight returned a
verdict in the Lost Bullion Spanish
Mines case. On the two counts
charging fraudulent misuse of the
mails the defendants were all found
guilty, two, however, being recon-
mended for clemency. on the other
count, charging conspiracy to defraud
by the use of the mails all but two of
the defendants were found guilty. The
defendants are: G. l.. Blackman, A. r..
Knaebels, r. G. Hunt, Arthur Levan,
ID. II. Lawrence, ID. =. Pinkus and Ed
ward Sebben, all of Denver; w. B.
Cameron, of Boulder, Colo, and
George S. Dubois and Lee Debois, of
Silver City, n. M,
Pinkus and Hunt, while found
guilty on the first two counts, were
recommended for clemency. and they
were both acquitted on the second
charge. The court granted the de-
PENDANTS until September ~ TO apply
for new trial.
The Lost Bullion Spanish Mines
case developed from the sale OF an
alleged fabulously rich mine located
near Silver City, n. NJ. The property
was described as an ancient Indian
Spanish mine, which had been redis-
covered by an Indian as the result Of
a secret description of the property
which was handed down to the discov-
erer by his ancestors. The charge
which was made by the inspectors of
the postoffice department was that
the property of the company, instead
of being mine. was simply nothing
more than natural cave, and that no
ore of any value had ever been mined
therefrom. The defense made vigOr-
Gus fight to escape conviction The
testimony Of experts was introduced
on both sides to prove their conten-
tions. One expert for the defense tes-
titled that the mine was located In
what was literally a mountain of low
grade ore. The charge was made on
behalf OF the defense that employees
of the company were intimidated by
the government officials into making
statements damaging to the defense.
The case has been on trial here for
several weeks and has aroused deep
interest all over the west.

the Philadelphia postoffice today. The

No IMMEDIATE
PROSPECT Of
SETTLEMENT
TELEGRAPHERS CAN HOLD
OUT TILL CONGRESS MEETS
President Small Declares the
Strikers Have Abandoned all
Hope of Arbitration of the
Controversy,

New York. Aug. 27.-Prospects for
a mutually satisfactory settlement of
the telegraphers' strike appear to be
no more promising today than they
were week ago.
Officials of the Western Union Tel
egraph company stated positively to-
day that they will treat with no rep
resentatives of the labor organizations
under any circumstances. On the
other hand, the strike leaders declare
that none of their hopes are based on
arbitration. They have accepted as
final the expressions of the company's
officials, they say, and are prepared
to prolong the strike until the next
session of congress, If necessary"
I'VE are going to keep up the strug-
gle until the business interests of the
country force congress to act" said
President Small of the Commercial
Telegraphers' union this morning.
''We will be able to hang on until the
next session of congress. / don't be-
lieve, however, that the Postal and
Western Union companies will be able
to hold out for that length of time.
In fact, we have received reliable ad-
vices that the companies have about
reached the end of their resources"
At the official headquarters in the
than on any previous day since it was
opened, and much of the time the
rooms were deserted. In the place of
frequent official statements from the
strikers they issued the first number
of their daily paper, Fair Play, which
was sold by newsboys and members of
the union. 1t had been planned to
auction off the first one hundred num-
bers of the paper from the steps of
the city hall, but permission could not
be obtained, and 1t had to be disposed
of In the usual way. The paper con-
tains a general history of the strike
from the union side, and in temperate
language seeks to point out wherein
the strike Is just and entitled to the
support of all fair minded citizens.
r. M. Mclepnen, first vice president
of the local union, who has been WITH
the New York club on its annual
cruise in connection with telegraphic
work, returned yesterday and was
placed In charge of the strikers head
quarters at Everett Hall. 1t will be
his duty to hold the men together and
see that there are no desertions. The
finance committee was busy most or
the day receiving applications for help
and a considerable sum of money was
paid to those who reported that their
resources were exhausted.
While the strike leaders proclaimed
their confidence in ultimate victory
as loudly as at any previous time, 1t
was evident on all sides that the two
weeks strain is beginning to tell on
the strikers and that many of them
are extremely anxious to have the
trouble settled one way or another.

THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE.

Many mail order houses do a
large business, but the reason
therefor is no secret. You can't
pick out one that is not an ardent
believer i'll and user of printers
ink. The catalogues sent out
pleases because the one responsible
for them studies the art. He gets
a picture of the article to be sold
before the prospective buyer-and
he purchases it because he sees the
picture and the price, needs the
article and doesn't know he can
get it at the local merchant-and
another dollar, hard. earned, has
been withdrawn from circulation
IN the community that needs it SO
much. Pictures appeal to the eye
when cold type fails. An illus
trated advertisement is the one
that does most goods the best
drawer. The merchants of whole
communities fight the mail order
house with the very weapons Sc
lected by the mail order house for
them--empty words, They con-
denim the mail order house and de-
plore the fact that many dollars
go away from their towns for goods
which could be bought at home al
a saving to the consumer. They
attemptto irightenw ascarecrow
We take r .er premise when
we say tia &c farmer and those
who l:y- i a small town do not
patron::e the mail order house be-
cause they like to, but because
they think they can be better serv.
ed by it than by the home mer-
chant. OF course we know this is
an error because some of us who
live in the towns are i'll the stores
every day and know the stock car
ried. But many people do not.
The mail order house is intrench-
ed in the minds of the people by a
lavish use of printers ink, the
force that moves the world, and
too many of the home merchants

are not. Don't the remedy sug-
gest itself?
The local newspaper can talk
until its black in the face and its toe
nails come oft, but until the local
merchant, generally, learns the
value of printer ink, and its prop
er application, more or less money
will go from every community to
the mail order house.
Oakland merchants are awake,
alive and energetic, and not much
goes by them to the mail order
house, for they appreciate what
publicity does for them and keep
eyerlastingty at it.

The funeral of Mr.. William A. Bry-

IN Bloomington Wednesday afternoon
last, took place Saturday afternoon upon
the arrival of the Baltimore and Ohio
train at Cumberland bearing his remains
from his late home. The funeral pro-

long one, many friends accompanying
the remains from Bloomington, attest
ing the high esteem in which the de-
ceased was held by those with whom he
had lived for so many years. In Cum
berland there was a like evidence of
respect shown the departed by those
who had known him intimately. The
body was taken to Emmanuel Episcopal
church where impressive funeral ser
vices were held, Rev. William Cleve-

beautiful floral offerings were banked
about the casket as it rested at the
chancel. The pallbearers were DIR. 2.

GETTING INTERESTING.

When Senator Foraker threw
down the Challenge for a primary
election in Ohio relative to the
candidacy of himself and Secretary
Taft for the Presidency, thinking
that if perchance he should lose in
the race for the big plum he would
still remain Senator, he was not
aware that his challenge would be
accepted But it has been and it
has been made broader than the
Senator may desire. Charles p.
Taft, editor OF the Cincinnati
Times Star and brother of Score
tary Taft, has issued card stating
that the Taft adherents are willing
to put the matter to a square test
with no second honors. Let the
people vote their preference as be-
tween Foraker and Taft and who
ever Is beaten is to retire from the
field and not be considered as a
candidate for any other office.
Under this arrangement if Taft
wins, Foraker stands eliminated
from the Ohio political situation
ii Foraker wins the same holds as
to Taft. 1t is now up to Foraker
to accept or renege. Senator For
aker's position on the rate bill and
his general hostility to President
Roosevelt's administration will
very likely put him out of the run
ming in one of the most crushing
defeats ever administered to sinful
man. At least that is the way il
looks. 1t will be interesting to
watch the contest at a safe dis
lance.
