NAVIGATION CONGRESS.
Supporters of Navigation Plan to Meet
at Sioux City, Ia.

az oituA 0ity, H.
The following has beer sent out
from Sioux City, Ia, by committee
appointed for the purpose and is meet
ing with hearty response from the
mayors of many cities in this territory
Never before in the history OF this
country has the improvement OF. wa
ter ways assumed the important po-
stion 1t occupies today
While st-ong and vigorous work has
been done to improve waterways. har-
bors, and navigation throughout the
United States, by organizations formed
in the different sections, for some un-
accountable reason the people in the
wonderfully rich and prosperous Mis-
souri, valley have been Indifferent to
the tremendous possibilities that must
follow the work of opening for navi-
cation the Missouri river from it's
source to the sea.
Experienced engineers advise that
this great natural highway can be
made permanently navigate its entire
length at no greater cost than the
selling value per mile OF single track
railroad from the Missouri river to the
city of Chicago.
That the movement looking to the
navigation of this river is now attract
ing widespread attention, is primarily
due to the concentrated effort of
those more directly interested in the
lower Missouri river territory We be-
lieve this to be the opportune time TO
push to successful completion, the
navigation of the Missouri river it's
entire length. If this is to be accom-
plished, 1t means organized effort.
Realizing that the people OF your
section have an equally vital interest
in this great subject, we appeal to you
10 give us your valued assistance in
this work, and to that end we have ar
ranged to hold the first annual conven-
ton of the Missouri River Navigation
Congress in Sioux City. Ia, on jan
22 and %, 1908, and extend to you a
special invitation to honor us with
your presence, assuring you that every
courtesy and privilege will be ex-
tended.
1t is the intention to organize per-
manent association embracing the
states contiguous to the Missouri riv-
er. each state to be represented by one
vice president and one director, the
directors to organize and elect its Of
ficers. such board to have authority to
call the association together at such
time and place as they think will fur

HEINZE IS INDICTED
ARREST OF MAGNATE FOLLOWS
CRASH IN COPPER.
Famous Financier and Promoter Sur
renders to United States Commits
sioner--Attorney for Heinze Says
Transaction Was Legitimate.

Indicted by the federal grand jury
for the Decentralization of fifteen
checks representing in the aggregate
over 100000. and drawn by the firm
Of Otto Heinze & Co. on the Mercan-
tile National bank. f. Augustus Heinze,
the copper magnate and former presi-
dent of the Mercantile National bank,
Commissioner Shields Tuesday and
later was released ON $4,000 bail.
Edward Lauterbach. counsel for
Beinze. stated Tuesday night that his
client did not willfully overcertify the
checks. as he had drawn a check to
the credit OF Otto Heinze & Co. TO the
amount of 100000, which the book
Keeper OF the bank possibly failed to
enter on the books until a day after
the certification Of the checks In ques-
ton.
The indictment of Heinze by the
federal grand jury which has been in
vestigating the Mercantile and other
banks identified with the Heinze and
Charles w Morse institutions is the
aftermath OF the collapse of the
Heinze pool in United Copper and
which brought about the suspension Of
Gross & I<leberg, stock brokers, and
subsequently resulted in the resig-
nation of f. Augustus Heinze from the
presidency and the retirement of the
directors OF the Mercantile National
bank after an examiNltion into the
institution had been made by the
clearing house committee.

NEWS OF THE MINES.
New Year Starts with Rush In the
Black Hills.

New Year Starts with Rush In the
Black Hills.
Mining in the Black Hills Is starting
off with a rush in 1908. The past year
was hard one with the disastrous
Homestake fire and the eight-hour day
trouble, both Of which resulted In a
general cessation Of most OF the oper-
ating properties for several months.
Notwithstanding this, the total output
for 1907 will exceed S6,OOO,O0V the
last three months going far toward
making up the deficiency Today
there are more mills turning out gold
and more properties doing work OF
one kind or another than for several
years. Within the next three months
at least three, and possibly four, more
new mills will go into commission ana
add their bullion to the output. The
Homestake Mining company has never
enjoyed a larger output than at pres
ent. and the new branches of the min
ing Industry are fast becoming impor-
tant factors in the work of the HIS.
Much hinges on the outcome OF the
plans of the London syndicate that has
secured options on some of the prin-
cipal imperative properties In every
portion of the Hills. The figures in
volved are in the millions and the
plans include operations on an even
larger scale than the Homestake.
Present indications are favorable to a
contamination of the deal.
With the settlement of the labor
troubles the Black Hills during the
latter part of 1907 settled down to a
period of development that is now out
stripping anything since the boom
days.

.IHAw's SECOND TRIAL BEGINS.
rhtcrs Insanity Plea at the Very Out

Enters Insanity Plea at the Very Out
set.
The second trial of Harry X Thaw
was begun Monday before Justice Vic
tor j. Bowling in the state supreme
court In New York and at the very
outset of the proceedings a plea of in
sanity at the time of the killing of
Stanford White was entered in behalf
cf the defendant. Last year the case
was fought out on a straight plea of
not guilty. but temporary insanity fin
ally was relied upon.
One juror, Charles r. Grummels, a
ship broker. was accepted by both
sides at the close of the morning ses-
sion None of the jurors, will be sworn
until the box is filled, however, and all
will be subjected to peremptory
challenge until the joint oath is adj
ministered. This arrangement is a de-
parture from last year, when each ju-
ror was sworn as chosen.
Neither District Attorney Jerome
nor the counsel for the defense would
hazard an estimate Monday as to the
time required to find twelve satisfac-
tory men. Eighty-six of the first 100
talesmen summoned were preser.s
Monday morning.
Mrs Evelyn Thaw was pursued by
crowd as curious as ever, and had
to be escorted in and out of the court
house by a detail OF policemen.

KAMMEL IN SORRY PLIGHT.
Aged Dakota Farmer Held for MUIR
der of Wife.


The preliminary trial of Gustave
Kammel, of Miller, on the charge OF
poisoning his wife brought out con-
siderable evidence of a damaging ma
ture against the defendant 1t was
testified that he had been talking Of
arsenic a week before the murder,
and that he had told one person that
he would give a good deal of money to
be rid OF both his wife and son.
1t was testified by the son Fred that
on the morning Of the poisoning after
he and his mother had eaten the oat-
meal, and when both We're very i'll, he
finally rallied after vomiting up the
breakfast, and went to the home of his
father for help and for a doctor, but
that his luther delayed several hours
before doing anything for them. the.
mother in the meantime lying ON the
floor Of the house, where he had left
her in dying condition.
The accused man testified that when
he went there to see if there was any
thing the matter with his wife, as Fred
had said, he found her in seeming
good health, but that he did cover her
over with blankets and proceeded for
n doctor anyway. When he returned
with the doctor very late she was
dead.
While there is strong evidence
against the old man, yet it seems to
be mostly circumstantial. If he is
convicted he will hardly be hung, but
rather given penitentiary senteEsar
owing to his age and the opinion or
many that he is not just right in his
mind.

MIR ALLMAN'S BILL
May Cause Trouble Before li is
 Paid By City.

There is likely to be trouble be- tween Daniel T. Altman and the park committee over bill of $2,00U which MT Altman presented to the board of public works last night for hlling delivered at Library park. The bill was referred to the super intendent of parks for investigation, but MT Walker said to-day that there IS nothing in it for him to investi- gate. A bill for $500 for MT All man, indorsed by the park superin- tendent, was approved last night, and MT Walker says this is all the city owes Mir Altman for filling or any other service rendered at the park. When we made public statement said Mir Walker, that anybody who had refuse to dispose Of might dump it here, sent let ter to MT Altman by John Delehanty informing him that he would not get paid for any more filling he might bring here. He read the note and then tore it up, and that is the last dealing had with MT Allman."
 On the other hand MT Altman claims that when he commenced talk ing filling to the park he was told that he could put all he wanted to in there at forty-five cents yard. the same price the city paid the rail- road company for that class of work. and with that understanding he took contracts for digging cellars and other work at much lower figure than he would have done if he had known that he could not dispose of it at the railroad price. These are both sides of the question so far as they can be learned at this time, but there is more coming and the chances look bright for a scrap that will bristle with thrilling situations and the chances are the last round will take place in the court.
