Ellethorp stated that the work of
opening up the 'jewelry shop" was
progressing rapidly. with the result
that more gold and less rock was
being found. Ruby silver, which is
associated with the free gold and
which has been found more or less
on the upper levels. shows more
abundantly at the 400, and this Is
regarded by the management a. one
of the best indications of permanency
yet found in the property.
When asked about shipments Mr..
Ellethorp stated that no definite ar.
rangements had been made as yet.
1t is intended to develop the big pay
streak further before a shipment
will be sent out. AS soon as the
crosscut is run from the 500 foot
level, raises will be started at differ
ent points on the ledge. The raises
will be continued to the surface and
the ore blocked out.
When the time is ripe, our inform.
ant concluded, the Fairview will max,
a shipment that will eclipse any Vel
made in the state of Nevada.

That the Copper Kettle min ing

of Lovelock, is soon destined to rank
among Nevada's foremost producers
in the precious metals, is evide need
by the good reports that are almost
iaily received from that section.

UNITED STATES ASSOCIATED
WITH FRENCH PROPOSITION

THE HAGUE, July 26.-Speaking
today before the committee which Is
considering the duties of neutral
states during warfare on land, Briga-
dier General Geo. B. Davis of the
American delegation, declared that
the United States associated itself
with the French proposal. The
French proposition sets forth that
neutral state is only responsible for
the acts of it's subjects, if these acts
are committed upon it's own terri
tory; that the responsibility of neu-
trail state is not involved by the fact
that some of its subjects take SER
vice with a belligerent and that a
neutral state is not bound to prevent
it's subjects from exporting arms and
ammunition for the use of a bellige-
rent. General Davis accepted also
the principle of the German proposal
that neutral state is bound to pre-
vent its subjects from entering the
service of a belligerent.
Speaking before the committee on
contraband, Rear Admiral Charles S.
Perry claimed that the proposition
was made by Great Britain to abol-
ish contraband.

JAPAN HAS DESIGNS ON

cisco, explaining the situation in his
city and denying the existence of race
prejudice against the Japanese, but
maintaining that Japan wants the
Philippine islands If she can gel
them.
The Tribune, in an editorial
thinks that such a view of the Jap.
anese intentions, soberly set forth
by an American of repute, contains
more influence than any mere race
prejudice. At the same time, the
Tribune declares, it cannot believe
that Japan has any such designs, un
til there is better evidence of it than
has yet been deduced.
The Tribune proceeds to comment
on an article in an American maya
zine on the emperor of Japan's opin'
ion, and expressed great surprise
that any doubt could arise as to
whether Great Britain values most
the friendship of the United States OF
of Japan. 1t says:
"The Americans are our natural
friends and should be the last to mis-
conceive the meaning of the Anglo
Japanese alliance"

DECISION RENDERED
ON THE S|BLEY LAW
PROVISION FOR % PER CENT
REDUCTION IN EXPRESS
RATES CONSTITUTIONAL.
(By the Associated Press. }

OMAHA, Nebr., July 26.-Judge
w. H. Munger, in the federal court
today handed down a decision, hold
ing that the Sibley law, passed by
the last legislature, providing for a
reduction of 25 per cent in express
rates is constitutional and denying
the application of the express COM
panies for a temporary injunction re-
straining the Nebraska railway COM
mission from enforcing the law.
The court holds that the express
companies have made no showing
that the commission has done any
thing to impair the rights of the
companies, had an action been fled
by the state supreme court, and Is
therefore not entitled to IN order re-
.strajnine the commits ion from en-
fore, = 70 law He saws the express
companies will have opportunity to
make showing before the supreme
court, but gives the companies leave
to again apply for such an order
should conditions change.
The decision is confirmation of
the refusal of the court to issue the
Injunction prayed for last week.

.LAWLOR's CHARGE TO JURY
1t Is Not Necessary to Show
Direct Evidence of An
Agreement.
(By the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-The
case against Louis Glass, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Pa
cific States Telephone company,
charged with the crime of bribing
Supervisor Charles Boxton, in the
sum of $1,000, to vote against an Or
dinanee granting to the Home Tele-
phone company, rival, a franchise
in San Francisco, went to the jury
this evening, after IA days of actual
trial, and a day and a half of argu-
ments by Assistant District Attorney
Francis j. Heney, for the people, and
7. G. Coogan and ID. NJ. Delmas, for
the defense. The reading of Judge
Lawlor's charge to the jury con-
sumed one hour. At it's conclusion
the court room was cleared, the jury
was given in charge of two deputy
sheriffs and by them conveyed to the
Fairmont hotel. Mr.. Glass was
placed in the custody of Deputy
Sheriff Holland and went to a restau-
rant in Fillmore street with Detec-
tive DAILY of the defense, where the
three dined.
The entire morning session from
10 o'clock until few minutes past
IL, was occupied by Mr.. Delmas in
the closing argument for the defense.
1t was conceded by all, including the
members of the prosecution, to be
an exceedingly able review and sum-
narration of the evidence and an
intellectual effort and a logical pre-
sentation of decided force; but those
whose familiarity with the reputa-
tion he made for himself as leader of
the Thaw defense, led them to expect
a really great speech, were disap-
pointed
Mr.. Heneys argument was in
striking contrast 1t was said by
able observers that he exceeded his
powerful effort in closing for the
prosecution in the Mayor Schmitz ex-
tortion case.
He spoke without notes, and he
was at no moment at a loss for
words. He combined analysis and
review, invective and appeal, logic
and denunciation, and amalgamated
them with the fierce fire of tre-
mendous eulogy.
Judge Lawlor, in his charge to the
jury, said
"It is not necessary that there
should be direct evidence of any ex-
press agreement of alleged con-
spiracy 1t is competent to prove the
defendant was a party to the con-
spiracy for the commission of the
crime by circumstantial as we'll as
by direct evidence.
'The prosecution must prove be-
yond any reasonable doubt: First,
the hribing of Boxton; second, the
connection of the defendant with i''s7
giving OF that hribe, even IL the brih-
ing of Roxton is proved 10 Your SAT
isfactiop stili II the prosecution has
failed TO prove the connection OF the
defendant with that crime. your ver-
diet should be not guilty"

INVESTIGATING LOSS
STEAMER COLUMBIA
ACCORDING TO LATEST FIGURES
EIGHTY-ONE LIVES WERE
LOST.
LIFE PRESERvERS WERE EFFECTUAL
Evidence Introduced Showing One
Officer Refused His Coat to
UnclOthed Woman.
(By the Associated Press. }

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-The
investigation of the sinking of the
steamship Columbia off the coast OF
Mendocino by colliding with the
steam schooner San Pedro, and
whereby, according to the latest re-
vised figures, 81 lives were lost, was
resumed today by Captain Berming-
ham, United States supervising in
specter officers and members of the
crews of both ,vsseis were- examiner
and the dispositions oe Captain Han.
sen of the San Pedro and his first Of
ficer, were read.
The testimony brought out the
statement from Captain Birmingham
that it was the first time he had ever
known that life preservers had been
effectual in saving life, qualifying II
by adding that people are usually toe
frightened to don them correctly.
Captain Hansen, in his report, de-
MED that he had been unnecessarily
cruel in refusing to take any more
survivors on board after he had res
cued IS, giving as a reason for his
action that his own vessel was in
such a condition that it was danger
GUS to approach her and, therefore
he ordered the boats to keep off.
Chief Engineer Arthur V. Will
liams testified that the San Pedro
did not lower all her boats because
the vessel was undermanned. The
alleged action of Third Officer Hawse
of the Columbia in refusing to give
his coat to woman was brought out
in the testimony of Quartermaster
Curran. The latter testified that
there were unclothed women In
the boat and when>Hawse was asked
to give his coat to one of them, he
had refused, saying that the coat be-
longed to him. The women, said
Curran, had been exposed for an
hour before Hawse covered them up
with a piece of sail. Hawse inter
rupted the proceedings by interpos-
ing an indignant denial and for a
few moments counter denials flew
back and forth between the two Of
ficers. Hawse was placed on the
stand and declared that he had of.
fered his coat to Miss Maybell Wat
son, the plucky Berkeley girl, but
she refused it and asked him to give
it to another woman more destitute
than herself. The inquiry will be
continued Monday.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
IS INVESTIGATING
MURDER OF RICH RUG MER-
CHANT OF NEW YORK RE-
MAINS A MYSTERY.
(By the Associated Press. }


NEW YORK, July 26.-Rev. Le-
wont Martogessian, once treasurer of
the Hunchakist, the Armenian So
ciety which outsiders say has fallen
from its high state of patriotism to
the practice of blackmail, gave to-
day a new twist to the district attor-
ney's investigation of the organiza-
tion.
The priest had been subpoenaed
to tell what he knew. This was to
the effect that the present agitation,
directed by reputable Armenians
against band of assassins, was in
spired by the Turkish government,
whose hired spies Systematically
sought to discredit the patriotic Ar
menians in this country. The pastor
of the Armenian apostolic church
had, he admitted, formerly been a
member and the treasurer of the
Hunchakist, but some time ago with
drew. He knew nothing of the mur-
der of the rug merchant, Tavshan-
jian, who had refused to pay $4,000
for his life, and if extortion had been
practiced he knew nothing of it. On
the contrary, he told the district at
torney that he himself was the OBJ
ject of persecution on the part of
the Turkish government. Pressed
to throw, If possible, light upon the
workings of the conspirators, the
priest replied: You are a rich and
powerful nation and you can find out
more than ! can"
The priest brought with him let
ter, not signed, in which threat to
take his life was made. He turned
it over to the district attorney.
After leaving Mr.. Smyth's office,
Father Martogessian said:
Il answered every question asked
me without hesitation and without
any intention of concealing anything.
l have nothing to conceal. / am a
priest, an Armenian by birth and an
American citizen. l came here this
morning. although l am not under
arrest, and l did not have to answer
anything. l wrote for Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Smyth and signed my
name several times.
II am entirely innocent of these
insinuations which have been cast
against me. All my troubles have
been brought on by Turkish spies.
There are SO of them in this city and
they are constantly bounding me.

body and have never gone to any
wealthy Armenian for any.

hind it ALL" he added. Il am in
danger of my own life. have been
threatened many times, and l intend
to go to Police Commissioner Bing-
ham and ask him for permit to
oarry a ravOlvar"
Mr.. Smyth said tonight that he
had not secured evidence upon which
to ask the grand jury to indict any
one. He is examining many Arem-
mans, but having some difficulty in
securing translations of letters and
papers received by him. Three let
ters found upon the body of Tav-
shanjian were translated today and
found to contain nothing, bearing on
the murder.

His voice quivering and hand up

shouted:

five conspirators! Steunenberg Is to
die in 80 days and they are moving
on the scene" The dramatic utter
ance and tense figure of the pleader
sent a thrill through the court room.
For the space of ten seconds there
was silence. Then relaxing, Borah
continued with his merciless logic.
He brought Davis, COpeley, Adams
and Easterley, all officers or mem
bers of the Western Federation of
Miners, into touch with Orchard.
without a pause he drew picture af-
ter picture of the men assOciating to-
gether at various points. From each

brought Orchard back home to Den

ward the jury to ask, why? Why

to find there the protection and the
pay of his employers?"
All those things denounced or
sneered at by counsel for the de-
fense found a bold and brilliant par
apraph of defense in Senator Borah's
interludes and counsel for the de-
fense were driven into murmur OF

a TRADE of reproach, culture, chris
tianity, law and order, refinement,
the home and the country, found a
ready champion. The state OF Ida

each in turn, were given brilliant

Under it all Haywood, himself,
was perhaps the one man in the room

times his face flushed and more than
once paled under the attack as Bo-
rah, reaching the climax of the con-
spiracies, pointed an accusing finger
at the man who he said was the
criminal force behind the Western
Federation of Miners"
Mrs. Steunenberg, widow OF the
dead governor attended the morning
session, but left early, almost pros
trated by the emotion awakened by
Borah's vivid oratory. Haywood s
mother also left the court room in
tears, but soon returned to take her
accustomed place beside the invalid
wife.
Senator Borah's peroration was de-
livered in quiet, almost pleading
tones, in strong contrast to the
harsher voice in which he spoke OF
