A New York Broker Testifies to Big
Profits Secured Through Premature
knowledge Of Cotton Crop Reports
Washington, June 1S.--In Louis II
Van Ripper, New York broker, the
government on Monday introduced
the first witness in the trial of Edwin
H. Holmes, jr., who has directly con.
nected Holmes with the premature
divulgence of information on which
the cotton crop reports of the agricul
tural department are based. Mr.. Van
Ripper was on the stand all day and
the direct examination had not been
concluded when court adjourned.
He said that he had met Holmes in
1904 through f. A. Peckham 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 then told
how Holmes had kept his part of the
agreement by giving out information
day in advance of the appearance OF
the official report; quoted figures to
show the degree of accuracy Of the
information supplied, and related in
stances In which Holmes had been
paid money through Moses Haas.
He said that $4,000 had been
cleared on the information secured in
advance of the report for November,
1904. He also testified that Holmes
had agreed to keep him informed of
the plans of other cotton brokers and
told how in the end a regular partner
ship had been formed in which
Holmes was one OF the FIVE members.

Among the Worst City Noises.

All American cities are afflicted
with too many noises, most of them
wholly unnecessary, and in the opin.
ion of scientists this is the cause of
many of the nervous disorders which
are characteristic of the nation. None,
however, is so useless and annoying
as the raucous yelling Of the street
peddlers who drive their carts at a
snails pace through the residence
districts, shouting at the top of their
voices from morning until night. The
practice is offensive enough to well
persons who have enjoyed a nights
rest, but to the sick and to night
workers who are compelled to sleep in
the daytime II is an intolerable hard
ship from which they have a right to
be protected by law.-Kansas City

5chmitz Is Removed from Office.

San Francisco, June 1S.-Mayor
Schmitz was formally removed by the
supervisors at their meeting Monday.
Supervisor James Gallagher was
named as acting mayor in his place.
The ground on which Schmitz was re-
moved Is that, owing to his incarcer-
alton in the county jail following his
conviction of a felony charge he is no
longer able to perform 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 SUI
pervisors will make room for the ap.
pointment of a responsible citizen
who will take Gallagher's place as act
ing mayor.

REPORT
OF LARAMIE PLAIN
THE UNDERGROUND WATER RE.
SOURCES OF A LARGE AREA
SPARSELY SETTLED.
With Development Of Good Water
Supplies, Country Will Advance
Rapidly in Economic Importance
and Attract Large Population
Depths Necessary to Dig.

Washington, May 1O.-The geolog-
ical survey that the manu-
script for the report upon the geology
and underground water u of
the Laramie basin in Wyoming has just
been submitted for publication.
Attracted Attention.
This work has attracted considera-
bile attention during its prosecution by
N. H. DaIton, geologist for the survey.
1t comprises all the area usually desig-
mated as the Laramie plains and the
Laramie basin, or all that part Of AL
bany county, Wyoming, except that
part lying on the slopes of the Medi-
cine Bow range. 1t also includes a
small portion of the eastern margin of
Carbon county.
Purpose of Investigation.
The field work was in progress dur.
ing the seasons Of 1905 and 1906. The
investigation was made largely for the
purpose of determining the conditions
under which the underground waters
might be expected, but for this purpose
it was necessary to determine also the
geologic structure.
Country Will Advance Rapidly.
The greater part Of the area covered
is at present thinly settled, but with
the development of good water sup
plies, it is to be expected that the
country will advance rapidly in eco
nomic Importance and will attract a
large population. Many Of the surface
waters are not satisfactory for domes,
tic use and therefore the ground wa.
tiers will be of great value.
Depth Necessary to Dig.
The report shows in detail the depths
to which it is necessary to drill in or
der to secure artesian flows. The wa,
ter occurs in the sandstones of the
Casper, Cloverly. Benton and Montana
formations, the most Of which are wide
ly extended sheets of considerable
thickness, interbedded with impervious
shales, a condition especially favorable
for underground water storage.
