 MT. Carvalho was found in his of. fee. Merrill and Clark were not in their offices Mir Carvalho took his arrest good naturedly.
 Mir. Rockefeller was not present when MT. Carvalho was arraigned as he did not expect that the warrants would be served Thursday. Lawyer Shearn, after pleading to have Mir.

 Mir. Rockefeller said Thursday night:

The article states that I went to Chicago few months ago and talked of the system of peon age complained of. Now, as a matter Of fact, have not been in Chicago since the death of President Harper of the University of Chicago, year ago last January"
 Chicago, Dec. 19.-The story of an alleged peonage system and stockade at Summit. 6 town 30 miles from Chi cago, is under investigation by the district attorney. Those who brought the charges declare that the stockade surrounding the plant is 30 feet nigh, that workmen are practically kept prisoners that they were kept in debt to their employers, and some of them escaped to tell their story only by digging a tunnel under the stocksde' The officials of the plant deny the charges, declaring 1t to be the resuk of spite work.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-In re-
sponse to Senate resolution intro
duced by Ankeny. the Secretary OF
the Navy today sent to the Senate
estimates of the cost OF submarines
to be delivered at Puget Sound and
Gray's Harbor. The Secretary says,
commenting on the proposal to sta

manently that such move may not

should be for service at large and the
pow~r directing their movements
should not be restricted. He also
points out that no foreign nation
would try to invade this country
without first destroying our main

the Pacific is much superior to that
which could be assembled by any
probable enemy on the Pacific. The
Pacific Coast, he says, is too far
from the home ports of any invading
army to require permanently sta
toned submarines.

SENATOR STONES STATISTICS

ST. LOUIS, Jan. %. - Senator
Stone today presented statistics to
show that during the recent depres'
sion the government deposits IN the
national banks were not equitable
as contemplated by law. He declared
that the west and south were dis
criminated against in favor OF New
York and Boston and when the west
ern banks wanted their money from
New York. they were compelled TO
nav premium on it. Teller, on the
conclusion of Stones speech, said he
believed the recent financial depres-
sion resulted from the banking sys-
tenn Of the county and had not grown
our OF the administration OF the law.
He admitted that possibly the money
was not apportioned according to the
banking capital, but he asserted there
was only one storm center-New
York. In that city there were II or
IS trust companies in condition to
90 to the wall and the banks came to
their relief. Had these banks gone
down there would have been follow
ed more bank failures in every part OF
the country. This being the case,
Teller said it was OF as much to the
interest of the people OF the west that
the integrity of the trust companies IN
New York should be maintained as
to the people OF New York. The
question before the treasury depart
ment according to Teller, was where
deposits best serve public interest.
He said it had ben stated the banks
of Colorado had $ll,000,000 on de-
post in New York banks. II it was
true, it was their own fault as there
are other reserve cities in which they
might have kept their funds.

Fire ut Vomier Farm.

Andrew Vamier- a farmer liveng eight
miles southeast Of town, suffered a very
severe loss in fire Tuesday afternoon.
His barn and granary with all contents
except the stock, which was rescued,
were entirely destroyed by the fire,
which WAS supposed to have its origin
in the careless lighting of matches by
children at play in the barn. The fire
was with some difficulty prevented from
spreading to the house. Mr.. Yomier
estimates his loss at from $1,000 to $500
with no insurance.
