where DID THE
MOON CONE FROM
New Theory of Satellite Origin
Propounded by a California
Astronomer

San Francisco, June 26.-Announce-
ment was made last night by Prof. T.
]. See, astronomer in charge of the
naval observatory at Mare island,
that he has mathematically proved a
discovery that the moon is planet
captured by the earth from space and
not detached portion of our globe.
He rejects entirely the long accepted
theories Of Leplace and Sir George
Darwin ascribing earthly origin to the
moon and asserts that his discovery
is supported by rigorous mathematic-
al proof based on the methods OF
Hill, Poincare and Darwin.
Prof. Sees announcement was made
in paper presented to the meeting
of the Astronomical society of the Pa
cific coast and is a further develop
ment of his discovery promulgated
last January that all planets and sat-
elites are captured bodies, which have
since had their orbits reduced in size
and rounded up under the secular ac-
tion of the nebular resisting medium
once prevailing the solar system. In
his former paper presenting this the

pany ip Galicia In October, 1907. In
February, 1908, the, Standard company
introduced tank wagons, which pur-
veyed its product direct to the store-
keeper, thus eliminating the whole-
salers. The company began e cam
paign of purchasing the holdings of
all of the Wholesale concerns in the
country districts and took steps to
drive out Of business those who re-
fused to sell. The Vacuum company
was organized in 1903 and never has
paid dividend. The original capital
OF $4,000 was gradually increased un-
til 1t reached $1,000, 900, with tho an
nouncement that 1t soon would be
raised to $4,000.000. A special cable
declares that the Austrian press
and pubic were incensed over tho
news that the Standard company was
in absolute control Of tho Austrian
petroleum industry. A contract which
had been completed between the CAL
tcian oil producers and the Standard
OIL company appeared to give all the
advantages to the Americans. A part
OF the agreement read that the Stand
ard was to construct reservoirs at a
cost Of $1,000,000, which 1t would get
back in four years in rentals. The
contract further bound the producers
to furnish the Standard Oil company
with 100000 tons Of raw oil annually.

BANDIT RANCHERs
Local Artists May Have Held Up
C. p. r. Train.

Kamloops, B. c., June 26.-That the
men who held up the O. P. r. west,
bound express last Tuesday night
near Ducks may be residents Of the
locality, and may even now be calmly
at work on their ranches, is the theory
which secret service men are now
chasing down. Detectives are work
ing on this theory. while the pro.
vincial police, Indians and Northwest
mounted police are securing the coun-
try in all directions seeking traces OF
the men and the manner of their dis
appearance.
That there is justification to some
extent for the opinion that the per-
petrators of the crime may he local
men, who to all outward appearances
pursue the peaceful vocation of ranch
ing, is evidenced by the activity OF
authorities In checking the records of
q number of men in the locality. The
whereabouts OF these men at the time
Of the robbery, and for some days be-
fore and after it is now closely en-.
quired into.
Every telegraph Office between
Ducks and Sicamous is now being
visited in the hope that some informa-
ton bearing on the attempted robbery
may be discovered in messages filed
for transmission.
Offers. Reward for Bandits.
It was announced at the local Of
fees of the C. P. R. yesterday that a
reward of $4,000 would be paid by the
company for the arrest and conviction
of the men who were guilty of holding
up the express train few days ago,
at Ducks. British Columbia.
Up to the present the officials have
received no information regarding the
capture of any Of the men implicated.

GAR LOSES IN
CANAQhA:
Had to Compromise the Suit
Brought to Recover Stolen
Funds by Refugees

Winnipeg, June 26.-The famous
legal case in which the Car of Russia
sought to recover through the Canad-
ian courts at least a portion of the
large sums stolen by Ivan Proskuri.
koff, defaulting omcer, who had been
In charge Of the administration of a
Trans-Caucasian province, has at last
been settled by a mutual agreement
after nearly two years OF litigation
and an appeal to the supreme court.
Proskurikoff absconded and made his
way to Canada via Japan, bringing
a large amount :of money, which
he afterwards invested in Winnipeg
real estate and western lands, and
also purchased stock OF oriental
goods preparatory 70 opening in busi-
ness here. Later he was joined by
Anna Zeman, handsome and talent
ed Russian lady, supposed to be his
wife, but regarded by the police as q
dangerous and uncoanpromising nihil-
ist, and they started housekeeping in
q luxuriously furnfEhed home in st.
James Place. Everything went merry
as q marriage bell lSs a time, and the
sProkurikoffs lived in style befitting
Russians of noble birth; indeed. q
special train was chartered to bring
Anna Zeman from New York to Mon
treal after she arrived from Europe.
They even associated withathe Russian
consul-general, and in other ways cut
wide swath for time.
But the Russian police, with their
ceaseless, unrelenting pursuit, eventu-
ally traced the defaulting official to
Winnipeg, and became aware of his
circumstances; also that his fashion,
able home in st. James Place was be-
ing converted into a rendezvous for
Russian nihilists and outlaws, who
were creating alarm by their actions.
Among the party who freQuented the
house were several of the notorious
mutineers from the cruiser Potemkine
who had murdered their officers in the
harbor of Odessa and afterwards
threatened to lombard the city if they
were .molested. One Of these was
closely associated with Poskurikofi in
his business affairs. and it was evil
dent that the latter was actively in
league with the enemies of the czar
and organized government Of Russia.
However, when the time came to
make his arrest he was missing, hav-
ing evidently got a warning from
someone in touch with the affairs of
the Russian police in time to evade
them. He knew of tho action con-
templated before the representatives
Of the czar here did, and SO was able
to make good his escape. together
with Anna Zeman. His goods and
chattels, however, were attached, and
after long legal fight compromise
has finally been reached under which
the property and merchandise is to be
sold and the proceeds divided between
the czar and the representatives OF
the Proskurikoffs. The merchandise
has been secured by a local firm Of
auctioneers, who will dispose of it to-
day. thus winding up one of the most
interesting cases which has ever come
before the Canadian courts.

LID TO Be PUT ON
. ::1AE.:GQuLD CASE
No Appeal Will Be Taken by
Either Party and Case Will
Rest

New York. June 26.-It is not be-
lieved that any appeal will be taken
either by Mrs. Howard Gould or her
husband from the decision Of Justice
Bowling yesterday granting Mrs.
Gould the separation for which she
sued, and $4,000 year alimony.
Mrs. Gould, who has expressed her
qualification over the verdict of the
court, will soon leave New York for
her farm at Lynchburg, Va. While 1t
is possible for either Mr.. or Mrs.
Gould to bring an action for divorce,
counsel for Mrs. Gould evidently re-
CARDS this as improbable for the pres
ent at least, after Justice Dowling's
disposition Of charges made by Gould
against his wife. In the belief that
the case is settled, Clarence Shearn,
counsel for Mrs. Gould, will sail for
Europe in a short time.

company's plans for gaining control
