ENLISTS BORAX N

The Tonopah and Tidewater is
owned and controlled by F. M.
Smith, the borax king, and was con-
structed by Smith for the purpose
of bringing the borax from the mines
to connect with the transcontinental
roads.
When the Goldfeld boom sub
sided the officials of the road figured
that the large copper properties at
Ely, New, would yield a large
amount of business and at an ex-
pense Of about $4,000 had a sur
vey made between Goldfielu and Ely.
The engineers made a survey of a
direct line and found they would
reach a maximum grade of IN per
cent. The survey was begun in
June last and finished in October.
WILL CONNECT AT EAST ELY.
The Western Pacific will probably
connect with the 1onopah and Tide
water at East Ely. The new Gould
road has located n of its division
points at Shafter, New, a point 122
miles from Ely on the Nevada North
ern railroad. 1t is possible that the
Western Pacific may build its own
line from Ludlow to Los Angeles.
This would of course be much short
er, but such a plan would require
some years to complete. The extern
sion of the Tonopah and Tidewater
will be the easiest way of the West
ern Pacific reaching Los Angeles, and
it is by this extension and through
arrangements said to be already
made that the Gould lines will prob
ably traverse the southern portion of
the state.
An agreement between F. M.
Smith and the Western Pacific to
carry the Western Pacific trains over
the Tonopah and Tidewater would
probably mean more to the new
road than anything it may do. The
Western Pacific has always been anx-
ious to secure better terminal ia
cilities in Oakland anu aspires to the

conferences at the White House have
pretty definitely developed two facts
in connection with the administra-
tons program for the coming ses-
sion of congress.
The first is that there is no proba-
bility of a monetary commission re-
port being reported or considered.
The second is that legislation looking
toward the establishment of a system
Of postal savings banks will have to
wait until the monetary commission
report is made and a new currency
law enacted.
1t is understood that President
Taft will be found agreeable to d
postponement of the postal savings
banks problem until next year.
From authoritative sources it was
learned today that the United States
and Chile had reached a final agree
men as to the terms of a protocol re-
ferring to King Edward for definite
settlement the celebrated Alsop
claim. The protocol in all probable
ity will be signed within a few days.
King Edward, it is understood, has
signified his willingness to act in the
capacity of mediator. The long
standing claim, which has been the
source of much irritation and fric-
ton and which at times has threat
ened more serious complications,
seems therefore, about to be finally
disposed of.

CONSUL IS

COnSulted--Taft'S Plans
For Session Of Congress

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-RepOrts
which have come from Nicaragua
that Henry Caldera, Vice Consul for
the United States at the ~Nicaraguan
capital, has been imprisoned or suf-
fered violence at the bonds of Presi-
dent Zeyala, are given nc credence
here.
There is reason to believe that the
State department at last has receiv-
ed communications from Caldera, but
the contents of mis- messages SO far
have been kept secret.
Report that the United States is
in communication with President
Diaz of Mexico regarding affairs in
Nicaragua, while discredited in some
quarters are nevertheless taken seri-
ously by those unable to obtain spe-
cific information on the subject from
the state department.
The navy is waiting on the State
department. That accounts for the
indecision ove the date of sailing
of the transport Prairie from Phila-
delphia with 400 marines for Pan
ANA, and possibly for service in
Nicaragua. The Albany and York
town are still held in Magdalena Bay,
awaiting developments in Central
America. The Tacoma, Marietta, Des
Noines and Vicksburg are all in
Nicaraguan waters.
The expected arrival tomorrow of
the Missouri at Hampton Roads will
be watched closely because of the ru-
NOR that she will be Immediately
sent to Central America, bearing i'm
portant orders.

Jealous of Rich
Italian Historian Thus Explains Fight
in America Against Cor
porate Wealth.

PARIS, May 21.-Continuing his letters
in Figaro Signor Guglelmo Ferrero. the
Italian historian who recently visited the
United States, undertakes to explain today
the moral upheaval in America of the
last few years against some methods OF
high finance" He says that Europe. to
comprehend America and the crises pre-
pairing there should not confound the anti
plutocratic movement with European So
cialism. After reviewing the immense
sensation caused by the crusade OF in
dividual writers and official inquiries and
prosecutions into matters OF industry and
finance. which he says have made Europe
believe America was a seething caldron OF
moral corruption, signor Ferrero insists
that q close examination compels a diff
ferent conclu sion, He gives II as his
opinion that the anti-plutocratic movement
was fostered by the jealousies OF the
middle classes against the rich and that
II borrowed many catch words from social
ism. Its fundamental idea, however, was
to prove that America, so often accused
OF msterialism. was still strongly Inspired
by puHtanioAl tradition and democratic
instincts.

Whether Al Keenan, goes free or II to
'tand trial in district court will be an
nounced by County Judge Leslie at 10
o'clock this morning. The hearing of evil
dence and argument was concluded yes
terday afternoon.
County Attorney English summed up for
the state at the afternoon session, follow
ing the closing remarks of A. w. Jefferis
for the defendant. Jefferis having con-
tinued after the noon ADJOURNMENT his
analysis of the evidence of Barrett and
Van Cleve against keenan,.
English argued that a considerable
quantity OF Irrelevant material had been
injected into the case by the other side
and he paid considerable attention to the
address OF j. j. O'Connor, scoring that
lawyer for calling Judges Kennedy and
Day ''grandstand players"
Mr.. Gross testimony with regard T.
the promlssory note is Irrelevant TO the
main issue here as Jefferis has said" de
clared English, but It is no more ir.
relevant than Barrett's about the purpose
for which he sought money from keenan,. o.
II was on this point that Barrett at an
afternoon session withdrew statements he
had made In the morning about paying his
mothers insurance, though admitting he
had not told keenan, the truth.
Then English read the testimony Of
Gross on cross-eKamination with regard tc
the promissory note and contrasted It with
the testimony Of shotwell tha KEENAN,

invited, as the lawyer asserted, into the
conference in Judge Sears office, when
Judges Sears and Kennedy and a number
of attorneys and the two jurors were
present.
There Is honor among thieves, among
lawyers, among gentlemen, and courtesy
should have been shown Judge Day in
this matter, since he presided at the trial"
Then the attorney went on to call the
present case part Of such a conspiracy az

sentiment so that verdicts can be secured

cases.

termined to invoke the power Of Douglas
county that a movement should be worked
up to create a public sentiment against the

Compares Him to ST. Peter.
O'Connor closed with a similitude of Bar
rett to st. Peter. He was led into it in
this way:
o Barrett this case must stand OF fall.
He is the rock on which this case rests.
just as ST. Peter is the rock on which the
Catholic church rests"
A. w. Jefferts followed In an. address.
Analysing and attacking the testimony Of
Vancleve and Barrett. inconsistencies be-
tween the two and between each man with
himself at different times. were pointed
out to the court. The chief point which
Jefferis made had to do with what he
called THE development" of their testi-
mony. Taking the affidavits which each
made before Attorney Bronze for a new
trial in the Stewart case, Jefferis showed
that the testimony of both on the stand
was much more ample. and he asserted
that they had been drilled by Henry Muir
ply with a view to inculpating Keenan,,
the testimony in the affidavits, Jefferis
said, not being sufficient to do this.

English had served notice that IL this hap
pened he would be prepared to discuss
their witnesses at some length"
English had attempted to nullify the on
slaught on his witnesses in his opening
address, but It was doubted If he succeeded
in completely neutraltEing the vigorous
grilling Barrett and Van Cleve received
at the hands Of Jefferis.
That attorney devoted himself to an an
alysis of their testimony at various times
and was more sparing Of epithets than
O'Connor. The latter called them lying
scoundrels, black as hell's self" Jefferis
dubbed them lame ducks and these in
nocent virgins"
Before argument began the state re-
introduced Van Cleve for brief testimony
and then called Clinton Bronze to testify
as to the date of the conference in Judge
Sears office.

sisted of an attempt to fortify Barrett and

Henry Murphy that his conduct has been

j. j. O'Connor In reply declared that the
recent outcry against jury-fixing is nothing
but an attempt TO prejudice the public so
that verdicts may be secured against the
street car company in 'hold-up cases"
O'Connor declared that 1T seems this
case had it's inception on the 18th of April
when Barrett visited Murphy the first time.
