RAILROAD TRACkAGE MATTER is
HEARD BY STATE RAILROAD
COMMISSION.
Special to The Daily Missoulian.

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Helena, June 23.-After having spent
the greater portion Of the day in
listening to evidence pro and con on
the question of track connection and
provisions for nterseeting of freight,
passenger and express business be-
tween the Chicago, Milwaukee and
Puget Sound and the Billings and
Northern at Lavina, Yellowstone
county, and between the Montana
railroad and the Billings and North
ern at Judith Gap, Fergus county, the
state board of railroad commissioners
has taken the matter under advise
ment.
The hearing developed the fact that
the Milwaukee, the Billings and North
ern and the Montana railroad, the
carriers affected, are opposed to the
making of the order and so are Lewis
town, Helena and Butte, though Butte
was not represented a representative
of Helena said that while this city
wanted to see every other town pros
per, if the connections We're made it
would take away from the trade of
this city.e
Great Falls and Billings were most
anxious for the connections to be
ordered, the former saying that with
out them Butte and Great Falls went
into her territory, while Billings
Waned to get the trade on the Bill
lings and Northern. Lewistown
through its representatives said it
could and did care for the trade and
the making of the connections would
be of no benefit to the consumer but
simply the jobbers who were now cut
out. They also held that it was a
dangerous precedent for the railroad
commissioner to set.

forts of the federal grand jury to

vestigation of the charges against r.
Augustus Heinze was begun in the
United States distri1t court today.
The case taken up was that against

to +. Augustus Heinze. Robinson was
charged with abetting the evasion by
Tracey S. Buckingham, the former
transfer agent of the United Copper
company, of a grand jury subpoena.
buckingham was produced as a wit
ness for the government He said he
was in the United Copper company's
office May 10, when the government
alleges a number of pages We're torn
off one of the company's books, but
when he was asked If he took part In
the removal of any Of the books or
parts Of books from the offices he de-
clined to answer on the ground that
he might incriminate himself.
The prosecution met with another
declinatioE to answer when Bucking-
ham was asked what he was doing at
the office on the night OF May 10. He
had previously testified that Arthur r.
IIeinze and Calvin Geer a clerk in
Heinze's office, were there with him.
Sanford Robinson in his testimony
denied that he had advised Bucking-
ham to flee to Canada. Robinson
said he knew of Heinze's indictment
and that an examination by the grand
jury of the books of the United Cop
per company was in progress. He
said that on May 10 Arthur p. Heinze
had talked with him and that they
did not believe the district attorney
had the right to make a transcript OF
the books.
Robinson said he had opposed re-
moval of the books. Arthur Heinze,
he testified, had been in favor of it.
He concluded by testifying that he
learned from r. A. Heinze that GER
tain books and papers had been moved
from the office at IA Broadway to
some place in New Jersey in two

REFUSE TO D|vULCE
INFORMATION
POLICE AND OFFICIALS DECLINE
TO DISCUSS PROGRESS IN
MURDER CASE.

New York, June 23.-After day OF
conflicting statements, the district at
torney's office, acting under instruc-
tions from Mr.. Jerome, and the police
department under orders from Com
missioner Bingham refused tonight to
discuss further what progress had
been made in the search for Leon
Ling, the Chinaman wanted for the
murder of Elsie Sgel, whose body
an Eighth avenue chop suey restaur-
ant last Friday night. Neither would
they discuss the results of the eA
animation of Chung Sin, Leon Ling s
former roommate, who had been vari-
ously reported to have witnessed the
crime, to have aided in roping the
trunk and finally merely to have seen
the girls body. There have been
hourly reports of clews from all parts
of the country but none brings the
authorities any, nearer to the mur-
derer
What progress has been made with
Chung Sin, who underwent this af-
ternOOn another four hours of cross
questioning at the hands of Captain
Carey and his men of the homicide
bureau and Mr.. Ward, of the district
attorneys office, is due to the offices
of Quon Yick Nam. a Chinese mer-
chant, who volunteered as an inter
prefer and in whom the police have
every confidence. 1t is said that he
told Chung Sin with an earnestness
that carried conviction that no Chi
nese society would aid him in sup
pressing the facts or in concealing
Leon Ling; that, on the contrary. ey-
cry Chinaman of influence and re-
sponsibility in the country felt that
the case was bringing disrepute on
their race and they all We're united
with the police in efforts to run down
the murderer.
With more to gain than to lose by
the truth. Chung Sin talked freely, if
not frankly. That he has not been
actually implicated in the crime itself
however, is indicated by the fact that
tonight he was held in the house of
detention for witnesses and not in
the tombs.

drawing of lands in the lTlathead In
dian reservation in Montana, will
leave Washington for Mssoula on
June IS and arrive in Mssoula on the
night of June 2S. Judge Witten will

The judge will remain at Missoula
three days, after which he will go
across the reservation to Kalispell
He will make all arrangements neces-
sary at each place for the work of
registration, which will commence on
July Is and run through to August g.
While in Missoula Judge Witten
will arrange with local notares pub
lie for the issuance of government
registration cards to be signed hy per-
sons registering for FIathead lands
he will designate the notaries who
will be authorized to prepare regis
tration applications for registration
and will provide them with all neces-
sary equipment for this work
Inquiries regarding the Flathead
lands and the opening Of the reserva-
ton are pouring in to the general
land office at the rate of five hundred
and more day from every section of
the country from Maine to California,
indicating that there is an unusually
wide interest being taken in the
coming opening. In fact land office
officials declare that more interest is
being taken in the Flathead opening
than any reservation opening in the
history of the land office Judging
from this an unprecedented rush for
Missoula and Kalispell during the
registration period may be expected.
