"Count" Held
For Grand Jury
BAD STRANGER AT cLARKsRURG
WILL PROBABLY GET WHATS
DUE HIM.

CLARKsBURG, Sept. 10."Count St.
Germain,o the man who subjected him
self to more ridicule than any other
person visiting the city and who is
deemed the lowest specimau of hu-
manity who has ever entered Clarks-
burg, got his preliminary hearing yes
tetday afternoon.
This foney count is the silk hatten
tramp who struck the city about ten
days ago and started into business
making pencil pictures of people for
the sum of ten cents and who induced
a small boy to go to his room at the
hotel and who there attempted to
compel the boy to lower himself to
the degenerated level OF himself. His
atr0ciousness is uncomfortable.
While his case is to be presented to
the grand jury IT was thought best to
give him a preliminary hearing before
Justice Of the Peace Gordon.
Two charges have been placed
against the phony count, one of as
saat and battery and the other that

icatIng liquor. Strange to say there
is no law covering the dastardly crime
attempted by this man.
There was more or less excitement
on the streets at one o'clock this af-
ternoon when Officer Schrader lead
the Count" down the street from jail
to the Justices Office. A gang of men
and boys followed and booted the
much despised man.
When court opened the count an.
nounced that he had no counsel and
that he was unable TO secure a lawyer
while in Jail. The trial went on,
The small boy told the story Of his
encounter with the bad man and the
employees of the hotel testified as to
their knowledge Of the case. The

PRISON FOR SCHMITZ.
Prosecution Will File 70 Indictments
and Put Him Behind Bars.

San Francisco, May 20.-The graft
prosecution, now that it has the assur-
ances of Ruef that he will tell the COM
plete story of corruption to the grand
jury, has turned it's attention to Mayor
Schmitz. Before the end of the week
Assistant District Attorney Heney will
ask the judge to give Schmitz into the
custody of special elisor. In order to
bring this about, the prosecution will,
if necessary, file 70 indictments against
Schmitz. These indictments will
charge the mayor with having been a
party to the pribery of the members CT
the board of supervisors in all the
crooked deals in which they engaged.
The testimony of Ruef is explicit on
this point.
"Mayor Schmitz knew what the su.
pervisors were doing and was a party
to every DEAL" said Ruef.
With 20 indictments against him.
the mayors bail will become prohibi-
tive, and, if plans carry, he will be
into the custody of William J.
Biggy, who is at present Ruef's jailor.

INTERVIEWS
RAISE STORM
Judge. Wood May Cite Governor Of
Idaho to Explain.
Does Not Believe Newspaper Men
Should Have Been Granted Inter-
view With Orchard-County At
torney to Investigate and Judge
Will Punish IF Possible.

Boise, Idaho, May 1s.-Judge Wood
touched off some fireworks just at the
opening of court, and it became neces-
sary to ask all prospective jurymen to
leave the room while the display con-
tinued. 1t was all over repors pub
lished in the morning paper Of the
newspaper mems interview with Harry
Orchard the day before. The States
man published the story sent out bv
the Associated Press, one from its own
representatives, and two signed state
ments from visiting newspaper men.
Judge Wood called attention to the
publications Immediately upon ascend
ing the bench. All were surprised.
When the Judge had concluded, Mr.
Hawley spoke. Then Mr.. Richardson
said he would like to cay what he
thought of it, but was restrained by the
presence Of the talesmen. These were
excused and then the whole matter was
aired for an hour. The Judge finally
directed the county attorney to look the
matter up and see what, if anything,
could be done. During the progress of
the discussion he said there was plain
remedy, if it was the intention to pre-
judice jurymen, intimating he would
cite all concerned for contempt if he
thought that was the purpose.
Yesterday five peremptory challenges
were used. Of the special venire Of
100 only "a are left.

RUSH RAILS TO FAR EAST.
American Factories Busy With Hurry
Orders for Japan.

New York, May 21.-America' in
dustrial invasion Of the Far East is now
in full swing, and Japan is pouring a
golden stream into the United States
for steel rails, cars and locomotives
Twelve million dollars already have
been expended in this country for rail-
road supplies to be used in the construc-
tion Of Southern Manchuria railways,
and it is now learned that contracts in
volving millions of dollars are pending
Deliveries of rails are being made, and
for the next three months steamships
chartered by Japan will ply across the
Pacific bearing valuable cargoes of steel
and iron.
Manchuria will be strapped with
American steel rails from Dalny to
Mukden, and the traveller will ride in
cars of American manufacture and
drawn by locomotives built Fin this
country. Thousands of dollars have
been spent in premiums to American
manufacturers for quick deliveries, for
the japanese insist that these railroads
must be built and in full operation
within two years. Japan's representa-
tives were told to 60 ahead and get the
railroad supplies at all costs.

MAKES MACHINE TO SAVE GOLF
Baker City Man Perfects Scheme for
Dry Diggings.

Baker City,. G.. Evans, of this
city, has invented and patented gold
saving machine for use in localities
where lack of water or absence of grade
has prevented the working Of placer
deposits. Mining men who have exam
ined the machine are enthusiastic in its
praise.
1t consists principally in table
eight feet long and of width ranging to
the amount of work to be done, which
lays on slant of 33 degrees, and is
given a vertical and at the same time
lateral or "pan" motion by rachet
arrangement. In the table are cup
shaped rifles, water tight, and placed
at intervals of 16 inches. The dirt is
thrown in at the upper end Of the table,
and if perfectly dry, no water is needed
to work it down over the rifles. AS
the dirt moves down the table, the
rifles catch all the gold or concen-
trates. If the gravel is not dry, enough
water must be used to keep it moving.
Mr.. Evans states that the machine
can be made large enough to handle
100 yards of dirt per day. The machine
is now on exhibition in this city.

FOLK HEARS GRAFT STORIES.
Members Of Kansas City Police Force
Bring Tales to Governor.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 21.-Gover-
nor Joseph w. Folk left for Jefferson
City today after conference with the
local police commissioners, regarding
graft charges that lasted until O'Clock
this morning. He had but few hours
sleep last night and early today con-
tinued comforting with persons from
different walks OF life, who made him
acquainted with various phases of police
corruption. Among his callers were
policemen and police detectives, who
are said to have laid bare numerous ir-
regularities, evidently in the hope of
gaining immunity for themselves. Gov
ernor Folks investigations have con-
vinced him that there is very strong
alliance existing between the Metropol-
itan Street Railway company and the
police force. A high official of the po-
lice department is authority for the
statement that within two years this
alleged alliance has been encouraged by
the heads of the departments. Mayor
Beardsley has repeatedly said that po-
licemen have been overzealous in serv-
ing the streetcar companies, when pas
sengers have been injured in accidents.
1t was charged that instead of taking
steps promptly to relieve the sufferings
of the injured, the policemen notify the
claim agents of the company.

GUT IN MAIL PAY.
Government May Reduce the Com.
pensation of Railroads.

Chicago, May 20.-The recent action
of the Burlington in cutting the rates
on transcontinental mail to meet the
competition in service and time of the
Rock Island, is having an important
bearing on the question of mail COM
pensation generally.
1t is said that the voluntary reduc-
tion made by the Burlington is being
seriously considered by the postmaster
general in determining whether the to-
tai compensation received by the rail-
roads shall be reduced between So, ,000,-
600 and So, 900, 900 annually.
This fact became apparent, it is
stated, last Wednesday, when COM
mittee Of prominent railroad men
called on the postmaster general with
petition asking him to rescind the
order requiring the total tonnage car
ried over mail route for one week to
be divided by seven, instead of six, in
arriving at the average tonnage car
ried. Such division as the postmast-
er general is insisting on will reduce
the mail compensation nearly IA per
cent.
The chairman of the committee was
W. w. Baldwin, assistant to President
Harris, of the Burlington. Baldwin
was the man who conveyed to the form
er postmaster general the proposition of
the Burlington to cut its rates to meet
the Rock Island competition. The
postmaster general intimated that in
view OF the voluntary reduction, it
might be difficult for him to be con-
WINGED that the mail pay could not
stand general cut.

REACTION BOUND TO COME.
Railroad Man Predicts Adverse Feel
ing Towards Nations Hero.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 21.-Presi
dent William II. Canniff, of the New
York, Chicago & st. Louis Railroad
company, Nickel Plate) believes in the
regulation of railroads by the nation
and the state, but regards the present
activities of President Roosevelt as pro.
ductive of harm to the country in gene
raj. He thinks that railroad regula-
ticn should be accomplished by liberal
conservatism, else i'll effects will be
felt by the people.
1.-The pendulum is swinging in one
direction now," said President Canniff
today, "but it can not fail to swing
back, and when it swings back it is
bound to sway good deal in the other
direction. l do not mean by that that
we need fear financial panic; but l
do mean simply that there will be a
retarding OF the progression of the last
five years for which the country will be
the worse off.
"Nations must have their heroes.
Read into history and see where Caesar
was lauded by his people one day and
perhaps the next was rallied at. The
president has struck a key note that
has met with ready response on the
part of the people, only it is not always
sane to believe that the approval of the
masses is assurance that the most good
is to come to the biggest number of
people, for the world often applauds a
man and later on discovers that what
they approved has done them no good.
cit will not be long ere the whole
situation will be settled into even run
ming again, but not until after the pen
dulum has had its swing little the
other way"

WHOLE DAY UNDER WATER.
Rival Submarine Boats Undergo Sc
we're Test.


Newport, R. L., May 18.-With alb
hands we'll and contented, and with a
bountiful supply of fresh air, and with
records for submergence broken, the
submarines Octopus and Lake rose to-
the surface of Narragansett bay at 4
O'Clock this afternoon, ending test Of
"a hours under water.
The Octopus rose first, and the men,
bers of the naval trial board crowded
about her, as the coming tower hatch
flew open. The members of the trial
board at once went below to see what
conditions existed on beard, and also,
to test the air supply. Samples of air
were bottled every two hours through
out the test for analysis by the board.
The Octopus blew out foul air only
twice during the "a hours she was at
the bottom of the bay. 1t was COM
puted that only one-ifty- fifth of her
air supply was exhausted and, if these
figures are correct, they tend to show
that the boat could remain submerged
35 days, provided the food and fuel
supply were sufficient.
The Lake also stood the test we'll, al
though a leak was sprung in the super
structure
