two personal damage suits were filed
against him. While the Leavenworth

dragged out as long as possible to af-
ford attorneys time to prepare petit
lions and file them in personal damage
suits so as to get personal service on
Peterson. The suits were filed by
John J. Brown and Samuel Healer for
$4,000 each. They allege that they
were arrested at the instance of Peter
son, whose action was malicious and
without cause. Brown is a boOkkeep
er and ex-state president of the Eagles.
Samuel Healer is a joint keeper
Should the damage suits ever come to
trial they will be tried in the district

TARIFF REDUCED.
On Many Articles of Trade Between
I. United States and Germany.

Washington, June 1.-The president
today issued a proclamation announc-
ing the conclusion of a commercial ar
rangement between the United States
and Germany under the third section CT
the Dingley act. The proclamation is
brief, simply announcing the list of ar
ticles upon which the United States
grants reduced duties to Germany and
the undertaking of the German govern
ment to make reciprocity concessions.
A letter from Secretary Cortelyou da-
ted April is made public in which the
secretary said that the negotiations of
the proposed commercial agreement
would promote friendly relations and
would otherwise be of benefit to this
country.
The state department also has made
public an analytical statement of the
points of the new arrangement from
which it appears that about 40 articles
of American production, embracing
most of the articles of trade during
the past year are to be subject to the
minimum tariff rates upon admission
to Germany. Regret is expressed that
it has not been possible owing to the
attitude of the German government to
secure the minimum tariff rates for all
American products and it is said that
this concession can only be secured by
Substantial tariff concessions by the
United States in the shape of recip
rocity treaty subject to the approval of
congress-.

PACKERS BUY DIRECT.
Armours Purchase $50 Cows from
the Cattle Raisers.

Omaha, Neb., June l.. The fight be-
tween the packers and the live stock
commission men over the purchase OF
"she stuff subject to postmortem ex-
animation, took a new turn today
when Armour & Co., purchased 800
cows direct from the cattle raisers,
subject to the new rule of the packers
governing this class of live stock.
Commission men at all yards are adj
vising shippers and raisers not to ship
stock until the new order is rescinded.
This is the first break in the cattle
growers line. Armour'S manager said
the "she stuff was purchased at nor
NAL figures but refused to state the
actual price.
Commission dealers on the live stock
exchange are wrought up over the di-
rect purchase by the packers from the
shippers instead of having the sale
pass through their hands.

HAYWOOD is i'll.
Defendant in the Governor
Steunenberg Murder Trial
Suffers a Nervous Breakdown in
His Cell at Boise.
TWO DOCTORS CALLED.
For Some Days Past He Has
Complained of Headaches.
His Cries Could Be Heard in
Jail Yard Today.

Boise. Idaho, June William D.
Haywood, the defendant now on trial
charged with the murder of former
Governor Steunenberg, was taken
seriously i'll in his cell at the county
Jail early this morning. Two doctors
were called and were with him for
several hours. 1t is believed that the
prisoner is suffering a nervous break
down.
For some days he has complained
of headaches and the guards at the
Jail say he has shown signs of much
restlessne ss. 1t has been plain, they
say, that the strain of jury getting
has been very hard. About 1 o'clock
this morning the pains in the head
became acute. The physicians. were
called in at once and administered
opiates. Until these took effect, how
ever Haywood was in great agony
and at times his cries could be heard
In the Jail yard At o'clock this
morning Haywood was resting easy.
The physicians will report to Judge
Wood and it is possible no court will
be held today.
The morning session of the trial was
abandoned on account of the illness OF
the prisoner. The doctors attending
Haywood and his counsel, both stated
that the illness was not serious and
they believed he would be able to be in
court at 1 80 o'clock this afternoon, to
which hour a recess was taken.
Haywood suffered severely during the
night and at o'clock this morning the
county physician was summoned. He
called another doctor into consultation
and finally opiates were administered
to the prisoner. He had not recovered
from the effects of the morphine when
the hour set for the morning session
arrived.
The news of Haywood's illness spread
quickly through the city and there were
but few persons in the court room
when the hour for converting arrived.
Judge Wood made the announcement
of Haywood's illness. He said the
county physician suggested that the
prisoner might be able to. attend the
trial during the afternoon.
Attorney Richardson then made a
statement as to the nature of the at
tack Haywood had suffered. He said
he was sure it was nothing serious.
The administration of the, opiates nee
essary to relieve the intense pain, he
declared had left Haywood in weak
ened condition and-'ft was this when
made it impossible ~for~the prisoner 10

RENTS ARE TOO HIGH.
Cost of Living Held Responsible for
Conditions in Frisco.

San Francisco, June THAT rents
and the cost of living are too high
and are primarily the cause of the
high wages demanded here and that
the percentage contract system was
largely responsible for the democrat
lied conditions in the building trades,
were the conclusions arrived at at a
meeting of a committee appointed by
the builders exchange and a commit
tee from the realty board
The two committees had been ap-
pointed to consider ways and means
for bringing about a restoration of
normal conditions in the building
trades in this city. The committee
from the builders exchange, headed
by James A. Wilson, submitted table
showing the scale of wages paid in the
35 leading cities in the United States.
In nearly all trades it was found that
the scale paid in San Francisco was
from oR to 5 cents an hour higher
than that paid in Seattle, where was
paid the next highest scale.

Spring and Summer Goods Ac-
emulate in Market
Owing to the Unreasonable
Weather Conditions.
AT FULL CAPACITY.
Manufacturing Plants Show No
Curtailment of Output.
Railway and Structural Orders
Continue Urgent.

New York, June 1.-R. G. Dun and
Company's Weekly Review of trade
says:
Seasonable merchandise goes into
distribution slowly which causes ac-
emulation of spring and summer dry
goods and millinery in. the hands of
dealers and retards collections, while
making operations for fall and winter
much more conservative. Manufac-
turing plants are producing at full ca
pacity in most industries orders ex-
ceeding output far into the future.
More New England cotton mill EN-
ployees have received advanced wages,
making the change affect about S5.-
600 persons.
Another evidence OF progress in cot
ton shipping was the increase in quar-
terly dividends at Fall River to % per
cent, against 1872 last year and 2.14
per cent in 1902, the most prosperous
of recent years.
Railway and structural orders are
the most urgent in demand for pro-
ducts of steel, and as yet there is little
evidence of curtailed plans because of
unfavorable reports of the difficulty
experienced in raising funds for con-
struction.

BACK AT OLD WAGES.
Strike of Ten Thousand Iron Workers
Settled in san Francisco.

San Francisco, June 1.-The first
rift in the series of strikes and I'M
settled labor conditions which have
overshadowed San Francisco for many
weeks appeared when the strike of
10000 iron workers was amicably set
tied. The men went out several weeks
ago to enforce a demand for an eight
hour work day and an increase in
wages. This resulted in closing the
Union Iron works, the Fulton Iron
works, and all the foundries, machine
shops and iron works, not only in San
Francisco, but in all the bay cities.
The men return to their work upon
the same conditions of hours and
wages provided when they struck. and
which shall remain in effect for eight
cen months.

Russian Officials Discover a Con-

Odessa, June IA sensation has
been caused here by the arrest of a
number Of officials and we'll known
lawyers who for several years have
been engaged in a conspiracy to de-
fraud the state of the revenue from
estates whose heirs were missing or
unknown. The plan of the con-
spiratorS who operated chiefly in
Odessa and Warsaw, was to obtain
possession of such estates by the use
of fraudulent documents or by bring
ing forward false heirs. An order
placed with an ergraver of Vienna for
a duplicate of an official seal led to the
discovery of the frauds. The persons
implicated are said to have derived
about 100000 from the swindles.

WON'T SELL TO HEARST.
Walsh May Let the Chicago Chronicle
Go to Pulitzer.

Chicago, ILL.,, June Much mystery
attaches to the suspension of the Chi
cago Chronicle. There have been con-
ferences and various rumors about it's
successor, these mario wing down to w.
R. Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. Hearst
is especially anxious to secure the
Chronicle plant and Associated Press
franchise, but it is understood that John
r. Walsh refuses to sell to Hearst and
prefers to throw away an asset worth
at least 5000, 900. Hearst'S representa-
tive has announced that all negotiations
were off so far as his chief was con-
cerned.
John r. Walsh fatty declined to an
swer any questions which would clear
the situation. Meanwhile the employees
are rapidly being absorbed by other
Chicago papers. 1t is believed, however,
that Joseph Pulitzer will break in to the
Chicago field, the opportunity being
especially good at this time.
