Hartman Still Defiant
Mr.. Hartman, during his testimony
again evoked the question of private
business as to interstate commerce and
refused to answer interrogations as to
his individual stock deals, and Mr..
Kahn refused to divulge anything
specific as to the business transactions
undertaken by his firm on behalf of
clients in or outside of the Union Pa
Cific directorate.
He and his counsel, Paul d. Cravath,
urged the same objection made by At
torney Milburn in behalf Of Hartman,
and added the special plea of the con-
fidential privilege between a banker
and his clients.
The commission ruled against all OBJ
lection and the record was in each in
stance properly completed for reference
to the courts.
William II. Moore and Daniel G..
Reid, directors of the Rock Island, tes-
titled as to the contracts with Mr.. Har-
riman and his assistants for joint con-
troll of the Alton, and that there was
no other written or verbal agreement.
Mr.. Moore said that while the contract
was still being fully observed its effect
was nominal. He and his assistants
had expected benefits from the ar
rangement that had not materialzed
and their earlier plans in connection
with the project had not been carried
out

ONE THOUSAND MINERS
LAID OFF AT BUTTE
BY Associated Press.

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 27.-Although
5000 miners and top men are idle, ow-
ing to the action OF the miners union
in demanding an increased scale of
wages May 1, no apprehension is felt
that any of the mines will close down.
one thousand men, in addition to the
1000 laid off yesterday, were discharged
today.
1t is understood that it will be the
policy of the operating companies in
the future to pay the present scale, but
to employ only about half as many
men as at present.
Only the most urgently needed de
velopment work will be carried on.
Sufficient ore bodies have been blocked
out in the larger properties TO keep
a good force Of skilled miners at work
for the next fifteen years.

MINING FRAUD
FULLY EXPOSED
AGENT AND TRUSTEE UNDER
ARREST
Lost Bullion Property Said to Be
Merely a Natural Cave-Mails
Used to Defraud the
Investors
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
DENVER, Feb. &c. L. Blackman,
fiscal agent, and Arthur Levan, trus-
tee, of the Lost Bullion Spanish Mines
company, with offices in the Temple
Court building in this city, were ar
rested today by Deputy United States
Marshal l. l. Frank on charges of
having used the mails to defraud by
advertising and selling worthless stock.
The charges were made by Postoffice
Inspectors Macomic and Bedford, who
have Investigated complaints made
against the company. The company's
books. the inspectors say, show that
100000 has been obtained in the last
four months from the sale of stock at
10 cents per share.
The promoters were taken before
United States Commissioner Hinsdale
and furnished $4,000 bonds each for ap-
pearance at 10 o'clock Friday morning
for a preliminary hearing.
The company's property is located
eight miles northwest of Silver City,
N. NJ. The company was Incorporated
last November with 10000,000 shares at
par value of 81 each. The original in
corporators were r. G.. Hunt of Den
yer and william e. Wilson of Boulder.
The first board of directors consisted
OI <. -. f1ull, w. ID. SdllltIOIl, al llluI
Levan, William e. Wilson and Charles
Dubois. Hunt was elected president;
Cameron vice president Levan secre-
tary and treasurer and Lee Dubois
superintendent. Dubois is the son of
the man from whom the property was
purchased.
How Scheme Was Worked
The company represented in its adj
vertising that the entrance to the
"old" workings of the mine was made
quate for modern methods of mining
and that money was needed to drive
shafts and tunnels to tap the veins.
The inspectors claim to have found
that the so-called "old" workings,
which were said to be miles in length,
are only a natural cave of irregular
shape and the piles of ore said to be
visible could not be found.
One of the circulars mailed by the
company to prospective purchasers of
stock purported to be an Associated
Press dispatch telling of the alleged
rediscevery of the lost mine, which
had been originally found by a Spanish
grandee, who was killed ten years
later by Indians after he had taken
much gold out of the mine.
The officers of the company have de-
clared in affidavits furnished by them
to the inspectors that an error was
made by the printer who set up this
article for mining company and that
they did not intend to represent that
1t was an Associated Press dispatch.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Executive Buys
Suburban Home to Be Used as

Hospital
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. 27.-
Mayor Henry j. Wallau has purchased
for the city the suburban home of w.
w. Davis, located a mile and a quar-
ter southwest of the city on the Swift
highway This will be used by the
state as an emergency smallpox hos
pital for members and attaches of the
general assembly who may develop the
disease.
The house, an eight-room brick struc-
ture, is located in the middle of a six
acre tract of ground and commands a
1ne view of the city and surrounding
country. 1t is being arranged and pre-
pared for the reception of patients.
Trained nurses will be provided, and
the entire expense will be borne by the
general assembly, except the purchase
price of the property. 1t was looked
over by the state board of health. the
committee of house members and the
local authorities and approved by them
before the deal was made
Could Not Rent Property
1t was impossible to rent property for
this purpose. Mayor Wallau says that
If the city does not ratify his action he
Will take the property and pay for it
himself.
1t was at first thought that the Minor
mansion, east of the prison, owned by
the state and occupied by the superin-
tendent of the prison farm, could be
used, but Warden Hall objected on the
ground that if the epidemic should
break out in the prison he would have
to use this place for infected convicts.
Several members of the house, among
them Mr.. Kinney of Texas county, were
notified to leave their boarding places.
The commercial club, through it's secre-
tary, found good lodging places for all
of them Mr.. Kinney occupies a seat
in the house on the right of Judge Salts,
While Frank Farris sat to his left Ali
who are notified to leave their board
ing places will be cared for by the COM
mercial club
a suggestion made in jest that the
Sunday lid be lifted at the capital while
smallpox prevailed met with much
favor among the crowds about the ho-
tells, but it probably did not reach the
ears of Governor Folk.

the Hainesport Sand Company runniu
e into the bridge. The officials of the con
e pany had been called upon and the con
, mittee had also visited the Custom Hous
t in Philadelphia to ascertain what actio
could be taken. The people in charge {
, the boat it is said, were careless and tb
! Custom House officials said if carelessnes
was shown and reparation was not mad
the license of the boat could be revoked
The damage will amount to between $50
and $500.
The matter was referred to the Solicitor
to act in conjunction with the committe,
in charge of the bridge.
A motion was offered that the old rules
govern. An amendment was offered tt
Rule l, whereby the date of the final meet;
ing was changed from the first Wednes day
in May to the last Wednesday in April.
Rule 81 was also amended, adding S25 to
the salary of the keeper of the court
house, making the amount 1926. With
these changes the rules were adopted.

Asylum was read and showed that the net
cost to the county for the years maintain
ance was S.. 114.81. The average number
of inmates was 153
Supervisor Hilton offered his bond for

showed the amount necessary for the cur
rent year to be 1881, 1891
Mr.. Brick offered resolution to appro-
pirate 1920, 900. This was adopted but a
question was raised whether lump sum
thought it was necessary to specify the
amounts for each class, so the resolution
of Mr.. Brick was replaced by substitute
which provided that the sum of 1881, 1872
81 be appropriated in ompliance with the
recommendations of the Auditor as set
forth in the classes and subclasses of the
report.
This was adopted with the understand
ing that prior to the meeting in July the
Auditor will have the reductions which it
is thought can be made figured out in
each class as the law requires. Under the
statute the Board is compelled to have the
Auditors report and figures at the May

County Board of Taxation until the Sec
ond Tuesday in August. There are many
items in the report that can be cut down
and this will be attended to before the
