GEORGE D. EMERY DEAD.
Was a Figure in international Con
troversy With Nicaragua

With the death of George d. Emery in
Boston yesterday there was eliminated
the leading party of an international con-
troversy.
In 1898 Mr.. Emery obtained a mahogany
concession from the Nicaraguan govern
ment. for which he paid 100000. 1nclud-
ed in the concession grant was a clause
providing for the construction of a rail-
road to be used for conveying logs and
which was to be completed and turned
over to the Nicaraguan government in
1914, the time set for the expiration of
the concession.
1t is contended on behalf of Mr.. En-
cry and his company that in 1906, when
more than one-half Of the railroad had
been built. President Zelaya of Nicara-
qua annulled the concession, laid an en-
barge on the company's property and
stopped it's work Following this Presi-
dent Zelaya directed that suit be brought
and in 1907 the Nicaraguan courts rem
dered Judgment for a half million dollars
against the Emery company for it's fail
ure to complete and deliver the railroad,
it is claimed, seven years before the con-
cession was to have terminated

ONE COUNTY UNANIMOUS.
Every Voter Cast His Ballot for the
Taft Electors.

A curious and interesting fact is dis
closed by an analysis of the returns of
the recent presidential election. 1t is that
one county of the United States-Zapata
county Tex.-cast it's vote unanimously
for the electors of William H. Taft, the
republican candidate.
This fact was stated recently to Frank
lin X. Lane one of the interstate COM
merce commissioners. and he took occa-
sion to investigate the matter In SUBJ
sanitation of the statement he is in re-
cept of a certificate of w. r. Davie. sec

that Judge Taft's electors received every
vote cast in the county. No votes were
recorded for the electors. of any other can
didate for the presidency or vice presi-
dency.
Curiously enough, too, this vote was not
cast in a strongly republican state, or in
northern state.
Zapata county contains less than 5000
inhabitants, and ii cast its 42S votes
solidly for the Taft and Sherman elect
ors.
Careful examination fails to disclose a
similar case in the history of American
political elections.

SEEK OWNER FOR APPAREL:
Coat, Vest and Valuables Picked UP
inf the Street

The police are making an effort to find
the owner of a coat and vest containing
gold-filled watch and chain, Theta
Nu Epsilon fraternity pin and card
bearing the name of Henry Sampson
Brubaker," which was found late Satur-
day night by Samuel Denny of 1419 L
street northwest near 18th and B streets
northwest.
Mr.. Denny called at the first precinct
station with the articles. which he turned
over to ~Serst Gray, and they were later
delivered to the District property clerk.
1t was at first thought that possibly the
owner of the garments had dropped them
on the street and had committed suicide
in the tidal basin, but owing to the fact
that il is quite a distance to the water
from where they were picked up the po-
lice do not credit this story.

GAME PLAYED BY
COAL COMPANIES
They Return Their Lands :or Assess
ment at $1.eo Per Acre, the Val
uation Placed on Grazing Land.

Denver, Colo. Sept. 2.-The United
States geological survey of 1900 states
that there are 10000 acres of work
able coal lands in Huerfano county.
P. L. Sanchez, assessor of Huar-
fano county by grace of the coal
companies, in his returns to the state
board of equalization, claims that
there are only 1899 acres of workable
coal lands in the county.
Further investigation by the state
bord of equalization has brought to
light the amazing discrepancy be-
tween the two reports. The coal lands
mentioned in the United States geo.
logical survey report are not all being
worked. Most of the land has been
acquired by the big corporations which
are holding them for future profits.
They are able to keep the coal supply
OF Colorado limited and maintain a
high price on coal because friendly
assessors have been listing coal lands
as grazing lands at a valuation of
$1,90 per acre.
If these lands were assessed as coal
property at a proper valuation the
corporations could not afford to keen
them idle and the result would be a
more abundant coal supply, besides
the increase of revenue to the state.

SAN ANTONIO OBJECTS
TO STATE RANGERS.
County and City Peace Officers Re-

They Can Keep Order.

San Antonio. Tex, Sept. 2.-Recent
visits of the state rangers to San An
tonic have not left the citizens in a
better mood in their attitude towards
the state executive. Sheriff Lindsey,
a few days ago, expressed the position
Of the county and city officials very
definitely by saying that they were in
a position to enforce the laws without
the help of the rangers. The press,
too, has taken the matter up: the SEN
timents voiced being principally to the
effect that unless the county officials
had been shown to be incompetent
outside action would be no less than
high-handed and contrary to the prin-
ciple of home rule. Others charge
that the frequent visits of the rangers
to San Antonio are simply the graft
fication of the spleeny inclinations of
the man higher up and one of them
points out that the principle of justi
flying an arrest by making it, and
through methods not in strict accord
ance with the law. may be in vogue in
autogratic counties, but are woefully
out of place in commonwealth. Al
together San Antonians are very tired
