.BOYCOTTED BAKER
WOULD ARB|TRATE
BUSINESS MEN BANQUETTED;
ARE ASKED TO HAVE COM
MITTEE APPOINTED.

Nicholas Schmittroth, proprietor of
the Royal cafe and the Ely cafe and
bakery, which have been boycotted
by the local cooks and walters union.
served a sumptuous banquet at the
Royal last night, which was partici-
pated in by large number of rep
resentative business men.
The purpose Of the banquet was to
request the business men to ask the
Commercial club to appoint COM
mittee on arbitration, with power to
meet with representatives of the Ia
Dor unions of the camp, and with
those employers of labor who have
difficulty with the unions, and to ar
bitrate these differences If possible.
1t was the sense of the business
men at the banquet that they would
request the Commercial club to take
such action, and appoint such COM
mittee, the purpose being to settle
difficulties between the labor men
and the employers without the for
mer declaring boycotts on alleged of
tenders.
The difficulty between the Royal
and Ely cafes and the Ely bakery are
of several weeks standing. They

fair, and neither the owners nor the
unions seem disposed to give UP the
fight.
The fight. on the part of the M
ions, has been conducted in an or
derly manner, no demonstration hav-
ing been made by them that was not
strictly within the law.
The trouble originated, ii is said,
In the discharge IF male walters by
Schmittroth. and their substitution
by female walters whom he brought
hero from Salt Lake.
Both sides have advertised freely
In the papers, each side of the case
stating their arguments in the form
of letters which were marked in the
papers as advertisements.
1t is beloved that the difficulties
are not 50 great but that they may
be readily settled by the parties con-
cerned, with he aid of an arhitra-
ton committee. The unioG, 1t is
said, stands ready to appoint a'com-

DEPOS|TORS CAUSE
BIG RUN ON BANK
MANY MEN WITH MONEY TO PUT
IN SAFE KEEPING STARTS
A PANIC.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct IA local
clearing house committee and a dep
uty public examiner today issued a
statement declaring that the run on
the Farmers and Mechanics Savings
bank was without reason. The run,
which has been developing for sew
eral days came to climax today
when at noon hour fully 1000 depos-
itors were in line. Altogether the
bank has $4,000 depositors while its
deposits total about $7,000,000.
1t is believed the run resulted from
the line of people last week who
wished to deposit their savings at the
beginning of new interest period.
The only explanation is that the pres
ence of the crowd was misconstrued
by people of gossiping proclivities.

INSURANCE MAN SEEKS
TO ESCAPE INDICTMENT

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Motions to
dismiss the six forgery indictments
against George w. Perkins, former
vice president of the New York Life
insurance company, which were
found as a result of the investigation
of the legislative committee, were ar
gued today. The motions to dismiss
the indictments against former Sec
retary of the Treasury Charles S.
Fairchild, went over, as the points
involved in the cases are similar.
Mr. Perkins attorneys argued that
in order to sustain the criminal
charge it would be necessary to show
intent to defraud, while the grand
jury which indicted Mr.. Perkins had
recorded its conviction that he and
Mr.. Fairchild were actuated only by
desire to benefit the policy holders
of the New York Life Insurance COM
pany.

barefaced robbery on record was per-
petrated here today. The hoist on
the old Kentucky mine was sold by
a man giving the name of Davis to
J. II. Chan, hauled to the depot and
loaded on the cars for shipment to
Luning. A man working lease near
by asked an official of the old Ken
lucky why he had removed the hoist.

received that the engine had been
taken away. Davis has disappeared,

him. McGhan was formerly engaged
in mining at Silver City, Utah, where
he was in charge of the Rabbit Foot

BIG SULPHUR FIND
IN ALEUT|AN ISLES

SEATTLE, Oct. 17.-Tm United
States government has had a scien-
tific expedition this past summer on
the Aleutian group of islands and one
result out of many valuable ones OBJ
tanned has been the marking and
identifying of one of the largest sui
phur deposits in the world. These
islands are all volcanic and on them
exist free gold, platinum, quartz, cop
per and sulphur. 1t is expected by
many that the exploitation that will
be given to these islands by the Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific exposition, which
will be held at Seattle in 1909, and
the amount of original information
that will be collected and dispersed
by it about the most westerly section
of the world, will have the effect of
sending thousands of settlers to the
islands. Fisheries, ranching, mining,
are all possible on both large and
small scale, and the best methods in
each and all cases will be fully dem
onstrated by the exposition.

ROOSEVELT SEES BEAR
TRACKS BUT NO bRU|N
ALL CONDITIONS ARE PERFECT
FOR HUNTING-EXCEP
THE GAME.

STAMBOUL, La, Oct. 17.-No per-
son has reached this point from presi-
dents new camp on Bear Lake today
except party that started from there
early this morning and no messenger
is expected until tomorrow. The party
arrived today consisting of Secretary
Latta and Messrs. Park, Shields and
Mangum, the last named a friend
from Mississippi, with whom the pres
dent became acquainted at Smeads,
and who invited him yesterday to
camp. They brought only the report
that the president and his remaining
companions had made an early start
and that they were in high spirits
and very hopeful of better fortune
than has yet attended the hunt.
Several members of the party have
seen bears at lhe lake and bear tracks
are reported to be numerous. Two
timber wolves yesterday passed with
in plain sight of the camp, and so ex-
cellent is the outlook that the presi-
dent has decided definitely to return
to the present location and not to go
to Teses, as was planned last week.
The president spent. yesterday in
ease around the camp, the only eXer-
else by him being a walk along Bear
lake and row on the water in COM
pany with Mr.. Marfgum. No member
of the party made any attempt at
hunting. Lilly, the presidents fav-
orite hunter, is so religiously inclined
that he would not break the Sabbath
to go in search of a hunters knife
he had lost on Saturday, but waited
until this morning, when he went out
before daylight and soon returned
with the weapon. The weather re-
mains quite perfect for hunting. There
was a slight skim of ice on the water
this morning. The president will
come into Stamboul next Sunday be-
fore starting Monday on his return
to Washington.

RUN IS STARTED ON
BIG GOLDHELD BANK
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN IN
SPIRED BY UNFRIENDLY
LABOR AGITATORS.

GOLDFIELD, Oct. IA special
was sent from here to the Salt Lake
Herald yesterday as follows:
The return of a $12 check marked
mo funds" which was presented at
the bank of John S. Cook & Co. this
morning by woman, caused run
on the banks which lasted until noon.
Depositors were paid as fast as pos
sible, and the bank continued to do
it's usual business. About noon the
excitement died down and the run
was over. AS soon as it became
known on the street that run was
being made on the bank that insti-
tuition was proffered any amount of
money. The Northern saloon depos-
tied 100000; A. c. Eisen, 100000,
and Harry Mcmillan of the Mohawk
Jumbo lease rendered 100000. Dick
Colbnrn of r. L. Colburn & Co. prof
fered $4,000, and the State bank
and Nye and Ormsby County bank
both rendered assistance.
John H. Cook, the cashier of the
bank, stated to all that the bank had
plenty of money to meet its obliga-
tions. Only the small depositors
drew out their money and the furry
was soon over.
1t Is believed in some quarters
that the attack on the credit of the
bank was prearranged, and some
color Is lent to this opinion by rumors
which have been persistently circu-
lated for the past ten days that the
bank was insolvent. Cashier Cook
ascribes the run to the unsettled con-
dition of the country, but it is known
other officials of the bank entertain
a different opinion. Some persons
attribute the run to officers of the
Industrial Workers of the World, who
have no love for the institution, and
it is asserted that Vincent st. John
was active in urging miners to with
draw their funds.
President Nixon and Vice Presi-
dent Wingfield of the Consolidated
Mines company occupy the same Off
cial position at the bank, and report
had it that San Francisco brokers
who were short on Consolidated stock
had caused the run to be made in
hopes of breaking the stock The
concern has a capital of $4,000, 900,
fully paid, and carries deposits of $3,-
100000.
