SOME DANGER OF A SCRAP.
American and Japanese Warships Il
Visit Brest at Same Time.

Brest. July 23.-The japanese squadron
is expected to reach this port tonight. The
delay in arriving is generally attributed
here to the desire of the japanese COM
mander to make as short as possible the
time that the American and Japanese
warships will be together In the harbor in
order to reduce the chances of any un-
toward incident between the sailormen.
The sailors from the American cruisers
Washington and Tennessee, now mere,
seem to hold a grudge against the Jap
anese on account of a fancied grievance
at jamestown, and there has been some
threatening talk in the cares visited py
the American blue jackets. Rear Admit
raj stockton, in command of the Amerl-
can vessels. has decided to grant no shore
leave after the Japanese arrive.
The American Officers are preparing 10
treat the Japanese visitors with great cor
diaIity. They will be shown every cour-
tesy and entertained at dinner on board
the American flagship.

HIGH GRADERS ARRESTED
Mine Owners at Goldfield Trying to
Break Up the Praetice-Little
Florence Bonanza.

Goldfield, New, July 2S.-R. B. Van
mitre and Dan Murname, miners en-
ployed at the Combination mine, were
arrested today by Deputy Constable Sage
charged with the theft of high grade ore
from the mine. The house in which they
lived was searched. and twenty pounds
of ore valued at so a pound was seized
This is the third case of high grading
within three weeks, the other two cases
being assayers. Their assay offices were
searched and an express wagon full OF
rich ore was taken to the court room
which was alleged to have been taken
from the Little Florence lease.
The mine owners have maintained a
detective bureau of their own for sew
eral months and are determined to break
up the practice. 1t is estimated that full
ly a half a million dollars worth of ore
was stolen from the Mohawk leases in
two months last year.
The Little Florence today transferred
to a local mill 1900 pounds of ore that
is valued at SO per pound. The lease
is producing $4,000 a day.

SEARCH FOR TUNGSTEN.
Metal Needed in Manufacture OF
Crucible Steel.
Especial to The Herald

Washington, July 2S.-One of the
most important metals in the manu-
facture of crucible steel, to give it in
tense hardness, is tungsten, which
brings a price of 50 to S12 per unit OF
twenty pounds Up to the present time
most of the tungsten used in steel
manufacture in the United States has
been imported from abroad. This sum-
mer the geological survey is sending
Frank L. Hess through the west in
search of this or some similar metal
which can be profitably employed for
hardening steel. His search will be Of
a general nature, but will carry him
into Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Cali
fornia, Nevada, Utah, South Dakota,
Colorado and Montana If this metal
or some substitute can be found in ma
teriaI quantities it will add a new in
dustry which will yield heavy returns
to those so fortunate as to hold lands
on which the deposits may be found

and Author at Louisville.

Louisville, KY, July 23-Colonel Will L.
Hayes, the veteran river editor of the
Courier-JOurnal, song writer and poet,
died at his home here today of vertigo,
caused by a stroke of paralysis suffered
in the IroQuois theatre fire in Chicago. He
was 70 years old.
Colonel Hays always claimed the au-
thorship of the original words of Dixie, >"
and that he was responsible for the ar
rangement of the music. His version of
Dixie was written at the outbreak of
the civil war, but the words were con-
sidered so seditious that the writer was
arrested and compelled to change them.
By that time, it is said, Dan Emmett,
the minstrel had written the song, AMI
his publisher had 1t copyrighted. Colonel
HAYS most famous song was MOLLY
Darling" the sales of which reached two
million copies in Europe and America.
Among his other songs were Keep in
the Middle of the Road" The Old Log

UTAH PLANT IS
PROBABLY SOLD
Meeting of Stockholders Com
mittee of United States In
dependent Telephone Co.
(special to The Herald.)


Rochester, n. Y, July 23.-In accord
ance with the much-discussed plan of
reorganization of the United States In
dependent Telephone company, and the
formulation of plans to extricate it from
the financial difficulties in which 1t has
become involved, two exhaustive reports
were presented at meeting of the stock
holders committee of twenty-five this
afternoon. One Of these was the report
of the executive committee of five and
the other the reorganization plan of the
| advisory committee of prominent business
men of the city which took hold Of the
matter some time ago.
While the sale of the Utah Independent
plant was not recommended directly. 1t
was advised in both of the reports that
the United States company dispose Of
several of the subsidiary companies not
directly owned by it and it is the natural
inference that the Utah deal is included in
this recommendation.
Value of Utah Plant.
Touching on the valuation of the Utah
plant the report of the executive COM
mittee SAYS: 1.-THE Utah company repre-
sents a cash investment of 81, 10000; its
| assets are valued at 81, $4,000 and liabili-
ties at S23G,O0O, leaving net assets of about
81, 900. AS the best offer obtained for
/ this property, however, is $500 1nCiud-
| ing the Indebtedness Of nearly $4,000 to
the StrombeTg Carbon company, and an
option has been given at that figure, We
cannot value our interests in the property
at over $S00,000.'
| In the report it is stated that the MEM
bers of the executive and stockholders
committee will go out of business, and
| they will probably be succeeded by a
Reorganization" committee. Though the
members of the committee would not dis
cuss the matter and pointed to the report
as the expression of their views, ii is the
impression among business men who have
been following the matter that the sale
of the Utah plant has been taken for
granted by the committee members in
their reorganization plans.
