TRIAL FOR MISSOURI BANKER
Mayor Harvey w. Salmon, Accused
of Grand Larceny, Must
Face a Jury.

WARSAW, Mo, March 28.-An effort is
being made here to secure a jury for the
case OF Major Harvey w. Salmon, charged
with grand larceny in connection with the
failure of the Salmon & Salmon bank OF
Clinton, which closed its doors on June q,
1905, with liabilities Of 100000.
Major Salmon and DIR. G. Y. Salmon had
been prominent in business and politics in
Missouri since the civil war. A month after
the failure the receiver reported assets of
the face value of $780, 900 and liabilities of
s., 100000. But In these assets werD in

legged to be Of spurious character. Investi-
CATION developed that the bank had been
in a questionable condition for some time
as the result of cattle deals Of the Salnlons
and the taking by T. NJ. Casey, cashier,
Of the banks funds to pay the debts Of his
father. George NJ Casey, an extensive cat
tie operator, who failed in 1904.
Thirteen indictments for forgery were re-
turned against Casey, six against Dr. Sal
mon and Major Salmon for grand larceny
in receiving deposits when the bank was
insolvent and four against DR.. Solmon's
son Frank, also for grand larceny Casey
pleaded guilty last year and received a SEN
tence of five years in the penitentiary. The
Salmons are to be tried separately.

MORE PEACE DELEGATES
Five Men Will Represent United
States at The Hague
Conference.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-President
Roosevelt has concluded to increase the
American delegates at The Hague confer
ence, a proceeding which will have no ef-
feet upon the disposition of the Various
projects that will be considered at that
gathering, because each nation represented
is entitled to but one vote; but because Of
the complexity and Importance OF the pro-
gram it is felt by the president that the
American delegation should be enlarged
to permit Of a subdivision into committees
II need be.
When the announcement was made last
June of the intention TO hold a second con-
ference 1t was also stated that America
would be represented by General Horace
Porter formerly ambassador to France;
Joseph H. Choate, formerly ambassador to
England, and Judge U. NJ. Rose of Little
Rock, Ark, formerly president of the
American Bar association. The president
and Secretary Root have already selected
the additional delegates, but it is not
deemed proper to announce their names
in advance of formal notice that the
second conference actually is to be held.
For Notwithstanding the fact that scarcely
more than sixty days intervene between
this date and the date suggested by the
government of The Netherlands as suitable
for tho beginning of the congress at The
Hague, possibly through some oversight,
the formal invitations TO the nations to
participate have not been issued This
fact may cause some embarrassment to the
nations remote from Europe, which would
find 1t difficult to select their delegations
and send them TO The Hague by the first
Of June.

STREET RAILWAY ANSWERS
Company Denies that Tsn-7snt Fare to

JURISDICTION OF COMMISSION DENIED
Also Asserts that West End Improve
ment CIub Has No Right TO Prose-
cute Complaint, Not Being
Patron of the Road.

The Omaha and Council BLUFFS Street
Railway company has made answer to the
petition Of the West End Improvement club
Of this city before the Interstate Com
merce commission relative to its demand
that the street railway company be re-
quired to grant a straight cent fare be-
tween Council Bluffs and Omaha and 10 re-
duce its bridge tolls The Improvement
club has also amended its petition as sug-
gested by the commission and has filed
a motion asking that the street railway
company be required to set out the lease
under which It is operating the line between
the two cities and TO produce all OF its
books, records etc, before the commission.
The street railway company in its answer
asks that the petition OF. the Improvement
club be dismissed.
In it's answer the street railway com
pany denies the right OF the club TO com
plain because II does not as club pat
ronize the road and is not entitled TO speak
for or complain for or in behalf, or in the
name of the inhabitants of the city Of
Council Bluffs, or Of persons or individuals
who may travel upon said street railway
line. II denies that II Is subject to regu-
lation by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion because it is a street railway and not
a commercial road. That It is operating
under a lease from the Omaha & Council
BLUFFS Railway and Bridge company which
fixes the rate of fares to be charged and
1t consequently has no voice in the making,
fixing or charging OF fares. Further, II de-
MES that the rate of 10 cents between the
two cities is unreasonable because the dis
lance is six miles. It contends that TO re-
duce the fare to cents would make it
less than 1 cent a mile.
1t denies that it discriminates and denies
that fare of cents would yield sufflcient
remuneration or that fare of 10 cents in
lures, or is Unreasonable, or a discrim-
ination or a violation OF the interstate act.
Regarding its bridge over the Missouri
rives the company states IT. cost $4,000 to
construct and not $4,000 as represented by
the Improvement club; that the income
from tolls is $4,000 a year while the ex-
penses are as follows: Maintenance and
repair. 5000; taxes. $500; insurance, $500;
employees, $4,000; depreciation, 5000.
