Alleged That Governor Durkee Owned

Rendered
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 14.-A suit
involving $36,O00.OOO worth of bonds,
with interest. was filed in the federal
circuit court here today by the estate
of the late Charles Durkee, a former
governor of Utah, against the South
ern Pacific Railroad company, the
Union Pacific, Central Pacific and sub
sidlary companies, the Central Trust
company of New York, Farmers Trust
company of New York and e. II. Har-
riman.
The plaintiffs ask the court to re-
quire the Southern Pacific company
and others named in the suit to make
an accounting and also that receiver
be appointed for the holdings Of the
defendants.
Governor Durlxee was chief executive
of the territory of Utah in 1865. 1t is
alleged in the complaint that during
the period of construction of the Union
Pacific he acquired $9,000,000 worth OF
construction bonds and that later he
took $27,000,000 of the first mortgage
bonds. The plaintiffs claim no ac-
counting was made for these bonds.
1t is alleged the claim of Governor
Durkee to the bonds was acknowledged
by C. ]. Folger, former secretary OF
the treasury.
Another charge is that an effort to
defraud Governor Durkee out of a just
claim was made when the Union Pa
cific railway was merged into the Union
Pacific Railroad company. The suit
was fled for the heirs by Col. D. w

President Of Western Federation of

Denver
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
DENVER, July 14.-In his address rc
the Western Federation of Miners, de.
livered at its annual convention in this
city today, President Charles H. Moyer
favored a working arrangement be-
tween this organization and the United
Mine Workers of America, and declared
that he would not oppose affiliation
with the American Federation of
Labor, though he did not consider 1t
advisable.
He urged peaceful methods for reach
ing working agreements with employ
ers; deplored calling of unnecessary
strikes and recommended local unions
to consult with the executive council
before ordering a strike.
The reports made to the convention
showed considerable decrease in the
Federation's membership during the
last year, which is attributed to the
fact that nearly 10000 miners have
been out of work in consequence of
strikes and the financial troubles since
last fall.

ROOSEVELT WRITES
TO MRS. CLEVELAND
Letter Tells of Proclamation Recently
Signed by President Changing
Name of San Jacinto For

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July IA
President Roosevelt has written let
ter to Mrs. Grover Cleveland inform
ing her Of proclamation he has signed
changing the name of the San Jaclnto
national forest to the Cleveland ma
tional forest, in honor of the late for
mer president. The letter is as fol-
lows:
oyster BAY, N. Y, July IL, l90S
my Dear Mrs Cleveland-It has re-
Gently been my privilege to sign proc
lamation changing the name OF the
San Jacinto national forest to the
Cleveland national forest. May l ex-
press to you the very great pleasure
il gave me to take that action-a plea
sure mingled with a keen sense or the
loss to our country and to our citizens
in the death of ex-President Cleveland.
On February %, 1897 President Cleve-
land signed the proclamation creating
lne San Jacinto forest reserve IN
Southern California. The date, Feb
ruary %, was no mere accident, since
the signature of the proclamation was
timed to coincide with the birthday or
our first president.
president Cleveland was one of the
first to recognize the need OF forest
preservation, and the creation of San
Jacinto and other forest reserves, with
total of 25,686,S20 acres was one Of
the results of his foresight in this di-
rection.
Throughout his life he took great
interest in conserving the natural re-
sources Of the nation, and particu-
larly regretted his inability to attend
the meeting of the governors in May,
because that meeting was In part the
fruit of seed he had sown years be-
fore, The name of Grover Cleveland
will always be prominently identified
with the movement to protect the for
ests of the United states, and 1T seemed
to me eminently hitting that one Of
the forests which he created should
bear his name throughout all time.

II ALIAS, Texas, July 14.-The noise
of, a boiler factory working full
- force would be as summer
breeze to the tumult turned loose by
the Californlans and their friends to-
night over the victory Of Los Angeles
in winning the next grand lodge ses-
sion in 1909.
California wine flowed like water.
Bands crashed notes Of victory. Dele
cations howled and shrieked for joy.
And the siren whistle on top of the
Southland hotel was threatened with
hoarseness. Not content with making
this internal thing Of din, imported
from the Angel City, keep the whole
town awake since the Angelenos ar
rived, some genius made it play "Auld
Lang Syne" over and over again.
The monotones of discord alternated
in notes of triumph, then they sobbed,
howled and shrieked some more.
California hospitality won lasting re-
nown here. The Philadelphians who en-
tertained the El1s last year said they
had never seen or heard Of such goings
on. The Southland hotel was turned
over to the Elks by the Californians
and as for Los Angeles badges 1t was
like tag day at home to see the sprint
ing when an unbadged person passed
by.
All the Texans worked for Los An
geles as against Detroit, and the fun
was fast and furious.
Be it known that the Southland hotel
is owned and managed by Californians.
The Detroiters and their delegation
were housed at the Hotel Oriental.
From the outset Californias badges,
resembling big yellow oranges, were
suspended from every man, woman and
child who would submit. These de-
clared that the wearers were headed
for Los Angeles in 1903. Then the
wearers were invited to headquarters,
where wines, orangeade, punch and
fresh fruits were lavishly handed to
guests.
Men prominent in business, profess
sional or political life in California
ladled punch or dipped orangeade with
the alacrity of experienced dispensers

BRYAN C0NFERS WITH
LEADERS AT FAIRvlEW

FAIRVIEW, LINCOLN, Neb., July
1.-THE appointment of a sub-commit-
tee of eleven to meet at the Auditorium
Annex In Chicago on July 25 to name q
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, and the adoption Of reso-
luton providing for making public
campaign contributions were the prin-
cipal accomplishments of the national
committee meeting today with w. j.
Bryan and j. w. Kern at Fairview.
Democrats the country over were
called upon to form clubs Immediately
to aid the campaign work.
1t may be stated on authority thar
had the whole committee acted today,
National Committeeman John w. At
wood of Leavenworth, Kas., In all
probability would have been made
campaign manager. Sentiment in that
direction formed quite generally among
the committeeman during the trip heer
from Denver last night.
Atwood was not at Fairview today,
a fact which is attributed to his De-
lief that the Guardianship would be
rendered him. That action was not
taken was due to Mr.. Bryan. The lat-J
ter has no favorite for the position, nor
was it antagonism to any one that
formed the motive of his action today.
Mr., Bryan suggested the appointment
of the subcommittee and declared on
it should be no man who is either a
candidate or had been a candidate for
the campaign leadership.
Tauaart Makes Appointments
This being put in the form OF mo-
ton by Joseph Daniel of North Caro-
lima, Chairman Taggart appointed the
following, his own members being pro-
yided for in the resolutions:
Taggart, Indiana, chairman; Hall,
orb. noH1rra
wyoming; Greene, Rhode Island;
RYAN, Wisconsin; Daniel. North Caro-
lima: Wade, Iowa; Tomlinson. Ala
bama; Cole, California; Brady, Okla
homa.
DANIEL was made secretary Of the
committee.
The presence on the subcommittee
of Mr. Ryan is assurance that he is no
longer considered a candidate. Inquiries
among members of the subcommittee
failed to elicit leanings toward any
candidate, but the fact that the ap-
pointment has been left in their hands
is not believed to diminish the chances
of Mr.. Atwood.
D. j. Campau of Michigan is no
longer being considered, Urey Woodson
would prefer not to be considered, and
fulness is on the stump. This situ-
alton, for the present at least, leaves
the subcommittee with but one cam
didate to consider, namely, Mr.. At
wood.
There is ample time before the Chi
cago meeting for the matter to be in
vestigated by the subcommittee IL it
should consider action necessary.
Lincoln Is extremely happy tonight
because the formal notification OF her
foremost citizen, who has been chosen
as the Democratic standard bearer.
win take place at his home town. Some
members believed there would be great
political advantage in having the no.

their eyes.
These messages are from every state
and territory in the Union.
They are signed by voters who here
tofore have cast their ballots for Re-
publicans, Democrats, Socialists, Popu-
lists and Prohibitionists.
Many Of the letters speak of the
panic of 1907 and 1908, declaring that
it is high time the government was
placed in control of law makers In
stead of law breakers.
Others dwell upon the refusal OF the
Republicans to recognize the demands

Still other letters and messages,

CHICAGO, July 14.-Provisions, par
ticularly pork, took long backward
leap today, scoring losses all along the
line ranging from 27A to S7h to 80
cents. The market was demoralized.
An overbought condition prevailed
owing to persistent purchases for a
week or more, and when some of the
more timid longs, who had come In al
top prices yesterday, attempted to get
out of their lines they gave the signal
for a general selling movement that
sent prices down.
A good many stop loss orders came
out as prices moved downward, the
execution of which aggravated the
general weakness.
September pork from $16.72Ha last
night went off to $15.S2h to $15.S5

great losses.
Lard netted losses of 271s to 32h
and ribs from 371a to so cents.
