ADMITS FALSE ENTREES.
Employe Of Defunct Frisco Trust Conn
pany Confesses.

Empioye Of Defunct Frisco Trust Conn
pany confesses.
San Francisco, Jan. 3.-Another
sensational chapter was added to the
California Safe Deposit and Trust
company scandal when H. T. Storrs,
one of the bookkeepers of the con.
Germ, broke down under a merciless
cross-examination and confessed that
the false entries in the books were in
his handwriting and had been made
under orders from J. Dalzell Brown,
the imprisoned manager Of the bank,
and J. D. Robertson, the fugitive as
sistant secretary.
The confession made by Storrs was
complete in every respect and estab-
lished the fact that nearly $1,000, 1000
had been falsely added to the assets
OF the bank in order to deceive the
state commissioners. More than $780,.
900 had been fraudulently added to
the accounts Of Brown, Walter ]. Bart
nett and the San. Francisco and San
Joaquin Coal company alone. In or
der to balance the books Storrs said
that a like sum had been charged
against depositors in the bank.

Court So Declares Minnesota Univer.
sity Athletic Association.
The University Athletic association
Is private and not state institu.
ton. This has been decided in a de.
cision handed down by Judge Brown in
the Hennepin county district court in
the case Of Edward E. George Va. the
University of Minnesota Athletic as.
ISOLATION, in which the plaintiff sought
to recover damages because of injuries
sustained at a game at the univer.
sity field last fall.
Upon the fling of the complaint the
state demurred, claiming under the
statutes and constitution the state
could not be made defendant in action
for damages.
The theory was that the state, being
all the people, could rot be sued by
one of itself.
Arguments were lengthy, but in
making his decision the court allows
the complaint and the case will come
to trial under the theory that the as.
ISOLATION is private enterprise and
has nothing to do with the university
or the state.

IS HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Federal Supreme Court Kills Employ
ers' Liability Act.

WV 81 S0F' S"0 SSNSA Mic e"'P'Sy
ers' Liability Act.
Washington, Jan. 7.-That the con-
gressional act known as the employ
ers' liability law is not in accordance
with the Constitution of the United
States because it goes beyond the
bounds permitted in the regulation of
interstate commerce, was the conclu-
sion by the supreme court of the
United States in deciding two dam
age cases coming to the court from
the federal courts of Kentucky and
Tennessee, which were brought under
the provision of the law. The decision
was announced by Justice White, the
court standing Ave 10 four against the
law. Even among the five who voted
not to sustain the statute. there were
differences of opinion. Much interest
was manifested in the result of the
courts deliberations.
Decisions of the lower courts almost
uniformly have been to the effect that
the law relating to the liability of tie
railroads in interstate commerce vio-
lates the provisions of the federal Con-
otitution.

PETB0NEACQO|l TED.
Found Not Guilty Of Completely
in Steunenberg Murder.
FIRST BALLOT TEN TO TWO
Jury Believed State Had Failed to
Connect the Defendant With
@ the Crime Charged.

Boise, Ida, Jan. George A. Pet
tibone was today found not guilty of
the murder of former Governor Frank
-Steunenberg. The jury was out four.
teen hours. No demonstration of any
kind marked the reading of the YER
dict which made Pettibone a free man
after two years awaiting trial.
All night the ballotting of the jury
stood ten for acquittal and two for
conviction. There was no change I'M.
til the final ballot IVES reached, both
Of the men who had been holding out
giving way at the same time.
The defendant, pale and emaciated
because Of his long illness, merely
smiled as he heard Of his freedom
and a moment later he was surround
ed by his attorneys and friends. His
wife, who had been by his side at
every session Of court during the trial,
wept for joy. ID
Expressions from members OF the
jury after their discharge showed
that from the start ten of them main.
tanned that the state had failed to
prove the defendant guilty Of the
crime charged. The verdict caused
little surprise In Boise in view of the
verdict: In the Haywood case.
The defense introduced practically
no evidence and did not argue the
case, simply maintaining that the
state had entirely failed to connect
the defendant with the killing of
6teunenberg. No action has been
taken in the Meyer case, but attor-
neys for the state admit that the
prosecution OF the Western Fedora.
ton Of Miners leaders for the steun:
enberg murder Is at an end.

Reduction in Prices Of From 81 to So

Reduction in Prices Of From 81 to So
Per Thousand.
Prices of pine lumber have been
slashed by the Weyerhaeuser inter-
ests 81 to So a thousand. Prevailing
conditions are such that it was felt
that these reductions could be made
and are liable to stay in for the ensu-
Ing year.
One of the reasons given for max
ing the reductions is that it is cheap
er to conduct logging operations this
winter on account of lower wages be.
Ing paid. The prices of other com.
moditfes have come down and it was
felt that lumber should come down
likewise. 1t is expected that the
reductions will stimulate building op-
erations considerably this year.

State Sanatorium for Consumptives,
located here, is now ready to receive
patients, and the ,perintendeot, Dr.
Walter j. Marley. has sent cut
circulars to the physicians Of the state
announcing the fact. The Institution
will be able to care. for about 1876
patients, and 1t is stated that applica-
lions for practically tWo-thirds of
that number have been 10 the hands Of

been expected that patients would
be received IN November. but there
were unlocked for days in finishing
the work in c onnection with the water
ard sewer systems. ~ % Z -
Instead Of one large building the
state has erected q series of cottages
short distance apart, al having
water and sewer connection. The
cottages are open affairs and intended
to provide the patients with plenty of
fresh air during both waking and
sleeping hours.
Only such patients as are slightly
affected with tuberculosis, and who
offer a hope of cure, or of such
amelioratlon of SYMPTOMS that they
b accepted The sanatorium is in no
sense to be CONSIDERED as q home for
the hopelessly sick. The charge for
patients will be uniform, at the
rate of 81 par week, which charge
county mmissioners are authorized
by law to pay for any patient which
they may send to the institution.

MINNESOTA BANK ROBBED.
Thieves Blow Safe and Obtain Over
- Two Thousand Dollars.

The Farmers and Citizens State
bank Of Braham, Issnti county, was
robbed of $4,000, of which $1,000 was
silver and the rest paper money. The
burglars broke into the rear Of the
building and blew the safe up with
nitroglycerin. The safe was complete
ly ruined.
Persons coming home on the night
train heard sounds in the building, but
before they got any one to assist in
making an investigation the robbers
had escaped. The burglars stole a
team from a farmer living nearby and
made their escape. It is supposed
that they went towards Rush City.
There is no clue thus far to the rob.
bers' identity.

:: Driven to the altar at pistols point,
Miss Belle Grouse, the pretty youni
daughter of Rev. N. p. Grouse, pastor
Of the First Presbyterian church OF
Stanhope, N. j., broke down In the
midst of a marriage ceremony which
in another moment would have made
her the wife of Percy Bissell.
: Throwing herself upon the officiating
clergyman, Rev. DR.. C. NJ. Griffin, pas
tor of the First Methodist church Of
Asbury Park, N. j., she cried hysteric-
ally how her lover had forced her to
the altar at the point of a revolver.
Instantly there was lively mixup,
DR.. Griffin clinching with the sutton,
throwing him to the floor and binding
his arms. Then he took his revolver
away and, standing guard over the
PROSTATE form of young Bissell, sent
Miss Grouse for policeman. Instead
she rushed to cottage in Ocean Grove
where she was stopping with her par
ents.
Later Bissell broke away from the
Methodist parsonage, where the cere-
mony had been going on, and again
forced his attentions on Miss Grouse,
though in order to do so he had to
break through window of the Ocean
Grove house.
At this stage of the proceedings
policeman interviewed and, taking Bis
sell to the station, started him of on
train for New York. The Grouse
family refused to make charges against
him and pleaded that the fracas be
hushed up.
Great efforts were made to keep the
affair from the public. The principals
have enjoyed a high social standing in
Stanhope. Miss Grouse, daughter Of
the Presbyterian pastor, is exceedingly
pretty and is social favorite In the
town. She recently graduated from
Blair Hall. -
Bissell is the son of prominent resi-
dents Of Stanhope and until recently
sang in the Presbyterian church choir.
He is a teacher in the Sunday school
Of the church and student at the
