The biggest trust ever orga-
nized and one that will be far
reaching is the combination to get
control of all the water powers of
the country. 1t does not require
a prophet to see that in the not
far distant future electricity will
become great motor power as we'll
as for heating and lighting. Elec-
tricity will be generated largely by
water power and hence the trust
that monopolizes the water power
will have the whole country by the
throat The president has wisely
called the attention of the country
to this danger.

Boston. Oct. LA situation, as dra- Ematic and sensational as was ever fur

 court. here where Daniel Blake Rus sell, claimant to the $50O,O00 estate sheld by a recluse brother, William C.. Russell. stands branded by evidence. has an imposter. Benjamin Demo. chief of police of Massina S--ings, N. Y.,
 says the claimant is James Rousseau aof Bombay, N. Y.. a farmland, and
 that his claim to the wealth of the
 Russells is pure fraud.
 q COntradicting Demo, however, is the
 evidence of a score or more of wit
 nesses who swear the claimant is in truth Daniel Blake Russell whom they Knew and played with as a. boy before his departure for the west where, after
 many wanderings, he has acquired
 Competence and settled down in Dick tnson, N. D.

FRANCO=pRUSSIAN
 WAR IS RECALLED

Paris, Oct. 1.-All France but particu- 1arly the Foreign Office is alarmed by the attitude of the German Govern ment toward Alsace and Lorraine, where the German garrisons were to- day increased from 81,000 to S5,000 men. Since 1890 the German army posts in these frontier provinces have been enlarged and the quota of men increas- ed until the French have come to look upon this new increase as unreason- able and indicative of German appre- hension.
 The Kaiser has seen with misgiv- 1ngs the various little anti German in cidents of the past few years in AL sace-Lorraine. He knows that one of the greatest French ambitions is the retaking of the lost provinces. And he is taking no chance of losing them.
 When the French-Prussion war clos ed, Germany left only 32,250 men in Alsace-Lorraine, but in 1890 the num- Der had increased to 67,25O; in 1895 it rose to S1,00o and to-day an extra de- tachment of 4,O00 men reported for du- ty in the various garrisons.

BURCHEIL GETS,
 EIGHT MONTHS
SEWING MACHINE SwINDL LER WILL LATER BE TAKEN TO
 NEW JERSEY

Edward A. Burchiel, who obtained $2O in this city by posing as collec- tor for the Singer Sewing Machine Company, and who was arrested by Patrolman Finnegan, Wednesday,, was fined $1 and costs and sentenced to 8 months in jail by Judge Foster in the city court this morning upon two counts charging him with obtaining money under false, pretences. Bail was fixed at $500. Burchiel said after court that he was we'll satisfied with the sentence and would rather serve it out than be bound over to the high CT court where he would probably get as stiff a sentence besides being con- fined while waiting for trial. De- tective E.. J. Lyons of Jersey City, N. J., was in court with a warrant charg- ing Burchiel with obtaining money under false pretences in that city, The warrant will be given to the jailer at the county jail and will be served upon Burchiel when his sentence inn posed in this city shall have expired. In Jersey City he obtained $6O.
 'Burchiel continues to be very reti- cent about himself, but says that he once held a responsible position with the Singer, company and has relatives in New York and a family in New York city. He would give no address es. The police think that Burchiel is Ills ISdI A1dIIlS luG IIlOSla LTylHS sOKs deal he has had so far was, this morn ing when he was ''mugged," for the rogues' gallery. He did not object verbally, but humiliation was seen in every line of his face.
 His story that he lost his position when the consolidation of the Singer and Wheeler & Wilson companies took place is believed by the police. Pros ecuting Attorney Delaney said this morning: "I feel sorry for that man, but it is just those honest appearing fellows who do the most harm, for the people are not suspicious of them"
 The police think that Burchiel has worked the game in other cities be- sides Bridgeport and New Jersey and expect to hear from them later.

BANK GUARANTEE
 LAW PROVES WORTH
Especial from United Press.)


 Oklahoma City. Okla, Oct. 1.-That the Oklahoma Bank Guarantee law has been severely tested and has, proven it's worth is the opinion ex- pressed by many bankers to-day fol- lowing a statement that the directors of the suspended Columbia Bank G Trust Company have submitted a pro- position to the state banking board looking to a. re-opening of the concern. The private depositors who had funds in the bank have withdrawn them and the only large deposits now held ac- cording to statement generally cred ited to-day are reserve funds of small CT Oklahoma state banks.
 The drain on the guarantee funds of the state barking board has been heavy. but it is declared there is still demand on any of the small banks forced to call for the reserve fund of the Columbia concern. Among bank CTS throughout the state there has been considerable criticism of the law and since the suspension of the Colunl- bia there has been much speculation regarding the guarantee fund. State bankers in spite of possible emer- gency assessment are taking a more optimistic view. They declare the test given the new law has been the sever est that could be imagined. The bank involved is one of the biggest in the state ana one WnOSe failure WOuld mean the crash of other banks. They hold that the fact that all the other banks have been able to weather the storm with so little trouble is proof that the law is effective. Had the trouble, they say, come a. little later or after the fund had been given a chance to grow from regular assess ment there would have been no strain on the banks at all.
 The state bankers point also to the fact that the thing which bankers fear most in a case of such rouble-runs-| have practically been absent.

from the Odessa district. This threat ems to become an acute subject at this time and the report issued today is causing widespread comment It comes directly after Premier Gtolypin' S vain effort to secure the abandonment of the courtmartial and the substitu- tion of the civil courts except in the most extreme cases.
 The Premier's idea was to stop the wholesale infliction of the death pen atty. The civil courts have no power to inflict such punishment and the courtmartials almost inevitably do. Stolypin sent a circular letter to the provincial governors, directing the abandonment of the courtmartial. They were ignored The Premier has now appealed to the Car saying that the governors do not wish the limita- tion of the wholesale sentencing to death and pointing out in spite of this contention that in August, quiet month for political offences. 63 were sentenced to death and 35 were execut- ed. Stolypin's difficulty lies in the fact that governors of most of the provincial courts are not responsible to the Premier
 So far as is known no notice has been taken by these governors of the Premier's orders.

SENATE GAGS HOUSE
IS MADE TO ADOPT RESOLUTION
 WITHOUT AMENDMENT.
Sharp Preliminary SI<irmish Over River And Harbor Improvements Balances of 1910 Fiscal
 Year Appropriation

Washington. June 21-Following a sharp preliminary skirmish, the House today gave consideration to the Senate resolution adopted last Saturday, pro viding for the continuance of the un- expended balances of appropriations for the fiscal year 1910 providing for river and harbor Improvements.
 Messrs. Tawney (Minn.); Fitzgerald, (N. Y.) and Sherley, (Ky.) sought in vain to induce MT. Alexander, (N. Y) in charge of the resolution, to let the matter go over until Thursday. These objectors refused unanimous consent to take the resolution up, but a. viva voce vote got it before the House under a suspension of the rules.
 In the course of a fervid plea by MT. Ransdell, (La-) for the passage of the resolution, he was interrupted by MT. Livingstone, (Ga.) with the charge that the Louisiana member acknowledged that the Senate had discriminated in favor of certain projects and intended ito close our mouths and put the gag on us and make us adopt this resolu- tion without amendment"
 After further opposition by MT. Fitz- gerald. and an intellectual effort by MT. Tawney to amend the resolution, the vote was taken, resulting: ayes, 152; noes, 2S. This being sixteen short of quorum, MT. Livingstone directed attention to the fact that the roll was called
