BRANDENBURG FREE
Jury Acquitted Man Charged With
Larceny of Cleveland Article.


New York, June 30-Although
Broughton Brandenburg was acquit-
ted late yesterday Of the charge Of
grand larceny in connection with the
sale Of an alleged spurious letter OF
Mr.. Cleveland to the New York Times,
he had only a few minutes of free
dom. Before leaving the court room
he was re-arrested and will be taken
to st. Louis next week for trial on a
charge of KIDNAPPING his stepson,
James Shepard Cabanne, 3rd. The
maximum penalty for kidnapping in
Missouri is life imprisonment. The
author was taken back to the tonnbs
in default Of 5000 bail to await the
arrival Of the Missouri officers.
The verdict Of acquittal today on
the grand larceny charge was reach
ed by the jury within a few minutes
after the presiding justice had
charged them that the question Of the
genuineness Of Cleveland's signature
G eve1
question Of the genuineness of the ar
ticle was only secondary considers
ton. The primary consideration, he
told them was whether the defendant
had stolen $500, the price paid for the
article from the New York Times.
That they must acquit the defend
ant, he continued II they found that
the Times had not relied on Branden-
burg's statement to the genuineness
of the article, but had relied rather
on the representation Of F. 8. Hast
ings, one Of the Cleveland executors,
whom they consulted before purchas-
ing the article.

Ocean of Water May Cause the
Breaking of a Dam in
Wyoming

Denver. June 30-Alarming reports
have been received here concerning
the conditions at the great Pathfind-
er dam located near the junction Of
the North Platte and the Sweetwater
rivers in Wyoming. A further rise
in the rivers yesterday increased the
pressure against the granite wall. The
inhabitants Of Casper and Alcova are
in constant fear lest the wall gives
way and a flood be precipitated. The
215 foot dam backs up the North
Platte river for twenty miles and the
Sweetwater river for fifteen miles
The reservoir is four miles in width
and covers an area Of $4,000 acres.
Fifty men have been sent from Dem
yer to assist In strengthening the dam.

Il am satisfied" he said, "that the
estimate made by the president OF
$25, 100000 annually is altogether too
low. In my opinion the revenue to be
derived will be from $40,000,00 to $780,

More like $1O0.0oo.O0o." interposed
Senator Kean.
Senator Dixon, speaking at length
on the pending question, declared his
belief that the Inheritance tax was
the best form for raising additional
revenues. That form Of tax, he said,
had been recommended by the presi-
dent and 2 "roved by the house of

He declared that there would be
many failures to reach the corpora
tions with the proposed tax as had
been shown whenever it had been at
tempted to enforce personal taxation
"Still," he said, because the presi-
dent of the United States and the
leader Of the Republican party has
asked for 1t, shall vote for the cor
poration tax amendment"
"Its chief virtue." he said, twas its
publicity feature"
Turning to the Democratic side of
the chamber, Mr.. Dixon declared that

publicans who favor the inheritance

would become a law.
Advocating an income tax, Senator
Owen declared that not only tens OF
millions, but hundreds of millions OF
dollars might be brought into the
treasury by a just and properly grad
uated tax of that kind. The income
so derived, he said, should be used
for the improvement Of roads and wa

FACE MORE MYSTERY
French Leaders Accused of CAUSING
CarnOt's Death.

Paris. June 30.-The tragedy sur.
rounding the death of Felix Faure was
no sooner cloaked over than public
opinion was brought face to face with
another mystery of Latin politics
the death of President Carnot. A
morning paper accuses Gen. Borius
and NJ. Dupuy, one of the leading
radicals, of being the indirect assas-
sins" Of the predecessor of Felix
Faure.
The charge is based on statements
made by M. Rivaud, former perfect of
the Rhone, was was made the scape-
goat of this sinister affair. He had
been stripped of all his police powers,
and the president of France was
guarded on his famous trip to the ex-
position at Lyons only by agents of
the Elysee palace and those of the
Surete.
Bluntly the Libre Parole charges
that these police officials were the
very ones who prevented NJ. Rivaud
from protecting Carnot against the
known plot of the anarchists.
Charges Made in Case.
The facts, as related by the Pari-
sian newspapers, are these:
While driving to the exposition,
the president was set upon by ruff
fiian who forced his way to the car
riage. The perfect, Rivaud, knocked
him down. A minister, whose name
Is not yet revealed, reproached the
perfect for interfering and bade him
remember he had nothing to do with
Carnot's safety-that was police
matter.
"The Lyons police was systematic
ally kept in the dark regarding the
presidential itinerary. AS to the agents
of the Elysee, they were sent by Gen.
Borius to one end of the city when it
was known the president would be
at the other. Thus, at the moment Of
the assassination, they were carefully
guarding one entrance while the pres
ident had left by the other gate.
Moreover the officers whose duty
it was to ride alongside the carriage,
had been sent away by Gen. Borius.
And 1t was Gen. Borius who ordered
the coachman Of the presidential car
riage to drive at fast trot, which re-
suited in the detectives, who followed
afoot, being left far in the rear. The
result was the police reached the car
riage only after Carnot had been stab
bed-just in time to arrest Caserio."
Nine. Garnet Was Not Warned.
Graver charges are made. The
Libre Parole aserts that letters sent
to Nine. Carnot warning her of the
plan to assassinate her husband were
intercepted by the authorities; that
a telegram to the same effect from
the queen regent of Spain was never
delivered. The newspaper adds that
II it had been known to the politicians
that Carnot had no intention of seek
ing second term, he would not have
been assassinated.
"Caserio." it states, "was lunatic
who had been egged on by agents pro-
enthusiastically by a certain Lou
mel, pretended anarchist. who, un-
der another name, was employed in
the police department"

A Disappointment.
1t was matter of keen disappoint-
ment to many that the widely ad-
vertised automobile parade, scheduled
by the Ravalli Automobile club, did
not occur. The rain prevented the
assembling of the machines, and
many were forced to leave town on
account of the storm.
The fireworks were dispatched from
the vacant square diagonally across
from the Ravalli hotel. While the
display was good, but small crowd
witnessed it on account of the un-
favorable weather
Two trains were required to carry
the Missoula people home after the
celebration, and both were loaded

Moving smoothly until marred by a
heavy rain in the afternoon, Hamil-
toms big celebration of the Fourth
passed off successfully Monday. The
storm prevented some special features
that were anticipated, including the
good attendance away from the races
and field sports. There was strong
undertone of patriotic feeling, how
ever, that bridged over the difficulty
and kept the big crowd in good humor.
The crowd that was expected came.
People from all the valley towns we're
here; Missoula sent mp a large seq
ment of its population; Hamilton
ilton poured out its residents and they
mingled with the throng. 1t was
happy, homogeneous crowd that chok-
ed up the streets and watched the de-
velopement of the days program.
The Parade.
The parade, which started shortly
after the arrival of the morning train
from Missoula, was an exhibition Of
home industry and a series of attrac-
tive advertisements of the local busi-
ness houses. The American flag,
properly, was at the head of the pro-
cession, with the band Immediately
behind discouring the airs that always
stir patriotic crowd. Next in line
came the city's efficient fire depart
ment with the members in trim uni
form. The Eagles in large numbers
followed, with the emblem of their
numerous order at the van. Then
came the floats.

Upon being introduced Mr..
Christler prefaced his grafton
with a number of humorous
stories that Immediately gripped the
attention of his hearers. He then de-
veloped the theme of his address,
which, briefly stated, was the need of
patriotism today as in the past, the
need of devotion to principle and "the
greater dignity and the truer nobility
of every American citizen" The
strong voice of the accomplished
orator carried we'll in the outdoor air
The address was shot through with
eloquent periods. A beautiful tribute
to the American flag, (which was
torn by cruel war, while the tears of
God dropped upon it," was an inn
pressive picture that stirred the audi
ence to feeling and applause. The
graceful words and ringing sentiments
of the speaker from Havre charmed
the attentive celebration crowd, and
as his last words were spoken many
rushed upon the platform to offer con-
gratulations.
