NEWS NO SURPRISE TO
THE GOVERNMENT

Washington, Jan. 21.-That the
American government was cognizant
of the existence of Interior designs
against Admiral Evans battleships in
the harbor of Rio Janeiro was admit
ted in administration circles. The
news first reached here by way of
Paris, where somebody communicated
it to the American embassy. There the
officials were quick to send the news
along to the state department at Wash
ington, which in turn sent it forward
to the American embassy at Rio, and
also forwarded it to the navy depart
ment. The limitations contained were
vague and indefinite as to details, yet,
in view of the great Importance of the
matter and the possibilities which
might develop were the officials on
the scene not informed, no time was
lost in transmitting it to Rio Janeiro.
While admitting that some damage
might be done under the most favora-
BILE circumstances by persons having
evil designs against battleship, many
of the officers who discussed the mat
ter pointed out how difficult this
would be in the absence of the most
approved apparatus in mine laying op-
Grated by skilled persons.

GREA SHOOT OF GALENA
IN BUNKER HILL MINE

Wardner, Idaho, Jan. 21-The Bun
ker Hill and Sullivan mine, discov-
cred in 1885 by two prospectors OF
Spokane while lost in the Occur
dAlene hills and which has since
proved itself to be the greatest lead
silver producer in the world, has I'M
covered the longest shoot of solid ga
lena ever found underground. Inc
strike was made on the Sullivan size
January Is, on what is known as the
Mormon stope. The new ore body mas
known length of at least 25O zee.
and is of unknown width. 1t will aod
from s15,oOO,0 to $20,000,00O to the
property, which is valued at $7O,OOo'-
700, and means that it will require
hundreds of men and years OF time
to mine the ore contained in the mann
moth reserve.
This is the second important discoV-
cry made on the property in the las.
twelve months. The value OF the nrs'
OF these, found on the tenth level, was
placed at $15,OOO,0O0 by R. n 6eil'
state Inspector of mines in Idaho, VINO
added in his annual report that II tne
body were developed to depth tne
value would be trebled. This preaic
ton has been more than verified, tne
workings indicated producing millions
of dollars worth OF high grade ore.

Ills. Later in the day there was gar

FORAKER ADMITS DEFEAT IN
CONTEST TO CONTROL OHIO

Cincinnati, Jan. 21.-United States
Senator J. B. Foraker has admitted a
practical surrender to the faction sup
porting Secretary Taft's candidacy for
nomination as presidential candidate.
Senator Foraker arrived here from
Washington yesterday and announced
that his plan was to fight for the ma
tional convention delegates from
Ohio's twenty-one congressional dis
tricts and to allow Secretary Taft to
have the four delegates-at-large with
out a contest.
Senator Foraker said:
$50 far as the state convention is
concerned have not changed my opin-
ion since was here, that the call is
illegal and unjustly burdensome. On
that account, as have heretofore an
nounced, l shall not make any effort
to comply with its terms and condi-
lions, neither will my friends make
such effort, except only as their local
conditions may prompt them.
/ "Of course, the delegates selected to
the state convention will all be for
Taft, for there will be no opposition.
This does not apply, however. to the
districts. They are not
under the control Of the state central
committee and are not bound by any
thing the state convention may do.
Each district win elect its own dele
gates In its own way. What the dis
tricts may do remains to be seen.''

PLOT SAID TO HAVE
BEEN HATCHED IN PARIS

Paris, Jan. 21.-The report of an an.
archistic plot in conjunction with the
American fleet appears to be another
tanned much circulation here. A few
people have treated this story serious
ly, however, others regarding it as fan
tastic, while many have dismissed the
whole affair as a myth. However, as
a matter of abundant precaution, the
essential points of the story were made
known through official channels to the
authorities at Washington and Rio
Janeiro, and out of this doubtless the
action of the Rio Janeiro police has
grown.

PLO7TERS ARRESTED
FIVE ITALIANS, TWO GERMANS
AND A CANADIAN ARE
JAILED At RIO.
Alleged to Have Entered Into a Con-
spiracy to Damage or Destroy Amer
lean Warships En- Route to Pacific
Plot Said to Have Been Hatched in
Paris Some Time Since.

Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 21-Several ar
rests have been made in connection
with an alleged plot to destroy part
of the American fleet now in this har-
Dor.
The band which is supposed to have
organized the plot is presumably COM
posed of five Italians, one Canadian
and two Germans.
The members of the band counted
on the assistance of a Spaniard named
Rochero, who has lived in this city
for long time. A year ago, however,
this man went insane and since then
he has been shut up in sanitarium
at Montevideo.
In an afficial note, which the chief
of police sent to the correspondent OF
the Associated Press, he says:
Some time before the arrival of
the American fleet at Rio Janeiro, the
Brazilian government received word
from Washington and Paris that an
archists of different nationalities in
tended to damage one or several of the
ships of the American fleet. The
names and addresses of the cOnspira-
tors were indicated by information
which the police here had received
previously from France and Germany.
l am sure every precaution will be ex-
ercised and the most rigorous vigi-
lance observed, both on land and at
sea, to prevent any injury"
The chief of police, after having
made this official statement, said that
he did not feel he should go into any
further details with regard to the con-
spiracy, but he authorized the state
ment that the plot was organized by
Jean Fedher, an Italian who has re-
sided for some time in Brazil.

PRESS RUFF CASES
aNeDoN SAYS NEGOTIATIONS
FOR IMMUNITY ARE AT
AN END,
,.fusaI to Testify in Ford Case Given
&C Cause for Annulment OF Agree
ment-Application Made to Judge
Lawier to Set Cases for Immediate
Trial.

Gan Francisco, Jan. 20.-The situa-
,ion in the bribery graft prosecution
brought about by the recent decision
Of the circuit court of appeals setting
oside the Indictment for extortion
ogainst ex-Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz,
On which he was tried and convicted,
roacbed a climax late Saturday night
whom Prosecuting Attorney Langdon
onnounced that all questions of i'm
r,unity for Abraham Ruef is at an end
and that he would at once ask Superior
Judge Lawler to setfor trial one of the
charges of bribery against Ruef now
nnnding in LAWYERS court.
Il was also announced that every
charge against Ruef will now be
messed to conclusion.
II is also intimated that the prosecu-
ton will appeal to the supreme court
from the decision of the court of ap-
meals in the Schmitz case. In making
the announcement that Ruef would be
nIaced on trial the prosecuting attor-
new made public detailed formal con-
tract between Ruef and the prosecu-
ton made last May.
Immunity Provided.
In this contract it was provided that
tbn prosecution would grant Ruef al
most complete immunity from prosecu-
tion in consideration of his going on
the witness stand and testifying to
the whole truth against each and every
defendant brought to trial in the graft
cases.
An exception was made in the Ruef
eytortion case which was then on trial,
and in which it was agreed that Ruef
was to plead guilty, which he did in a
dramatic manner few days after the
ontract was signed.
The prosecution claims that Ruef
did not live up to his agreement when
TREY L. Ford, general counsel of the
United Railroads, was tried and &C
united of one of the charges of bri-
berry against him.
When the court of appeals rendered
the decision in the Schmitz case on
the same indictment to which Ruef
had pleaded guilty, Ruef, the prosecu-
ton charges, thought he saw his way
clear to defy the condolences between
himself and the district attorney over
the question as to whether Ruef had
kept his agreement and was entitled
to further consideration.
Begs for Postponement.
The prosecution threatened to nulli-
fly the agreement and Ruef begged that
the end be postponed. Finally Ruef
was told that his pleading was in vain.
In declaring the immunity contract
void the prosecution asserts that it was
moved by Ruefs post failure to keep
his agreement and by the absolute re-
fusal of Judges Dunno and Lawler to
countenance any immunity.
The case which will be begun against
Ruef before Judge Lawler is the one
in which indictments were brought
against him for the alleged bribery OF
supervisors in connection with a fran
chise of an overhead trolley system
for the United Railways.
Ruef refused to make any statement
regarding the change in the attitude
of the prosecution toward him and
their decision not to give him immun-
itv
