WATER HAS NO EFFECT

Continuous Streams Poured on Rein

Out Fire.

Losses amounting to over $4,000 nave
resulted from a fire on which streams OF
water, poured constantly for twenty-four
hours, seem to have little effect. The
fire was in the plant of the Salt Lake
Refining company. Eighth North and
Fourth West streets. Eight tanks con-
tanning crude oil and refined paraffine
wax have been burning steadily since
about 1890 o'clock yesterday morning
and at midnight last night the oil had
not yet burned itself out.
The principal loss has been the oil itself.

CORPORATIONS PAY TAX
About 81 1000 Day Being Received
by the Secretary of
State.

Nearly $1,000 a day is being received in
the secretary of states office on the cor
pOratiOn tax imposed by the legislature
of 1903 against all companies doing bust
ness in the state. Payments do not be-
come due until Nov. 10. but many of the
companies are already paying the tax.
As the corporation tax is graded accord
ing to the capitalization, many companies
have decreased their capital stock dur
ing the year., and win pay on the smaller
amount. But even with this, it is be
lieved that about $4,000 will be taken in
on the corporation tax alone.
After Dec. 10, payments become delin-
guent, and if the tax is not paid later the
charters of the companies will be taken
away. Through this means all of the
dead companies will be wiped from the
books.

that Wey paid nothing and retained half

would sell him a half interest in the
springs for $4,000, Breen to pay $4,000
down Wey said this was done and he
and his wife signed a deed to Breen for
an undivided half interest, with a $4,000
mortgage covering the whole property.
Mr.. Wey says that the Zion's Savings q
Trust company had nothing to do with
the deal. and that the transaction was
made by him alone. He asks that the suit
be dismissed.

RESULTS OF AN INVESTIGATION
Wyoming Areas Classified Anew and
Restored to Public Dsnain-An-
nouneed at Washington

Announcement has been made that
the Department of the Interior has
classified as coal land and restored to
the public domain certain unappropri-
ated areas in the Evanston land dis
trict of Wyoming, fixing the price for
disposal of the tracts there in certain
instances as high as $500 an acre. The
land contains one of the best coal
veins in the West.
This tract was included III the lands
involved in what was known as the
Horse Thief canyon cases. lnvestiga-
ton several months g by special
agents of the department disclosed
that the title to much of the most
valuable coal deposits in that part of
Wyoming had been obtained from the
government through q system of al
legged fraudulent operations and suit
a begun against the patentees to re-
cover the land. The defendants re-
conveyed it to the government, paying
about 100000 for coal extracted.
This is a striking instance of re-
suits obtained through Investigations
by the Special-Service force of the gen
eral land Office" it Is declared in the
statement, "and under the policy of
disposing of public lands containing
coal at prices based upon their intrin-
sic value for coal. Under the former
method these lands were subject to
sale at $40 and 500 an acre, or a total
price of about s459, 900 for the town
ship, if sold at the maximum price.
At the rates now liked the lands in
this township are worth $S,134, 600, or
an increase Of more than $500, 900
above the former price"
During June coal lands which had
been withdrawn and tho total value of
which was S1S,543,232 were classified
and restored to entry. At the old
prices they were worth $7,65O, 900. AS
About 60 per cent of these lands are
subject to disposal by the government
at the rate fixed, the revenue derived
therefrom will be about 5000, 900 in
excess of what it would have been un.
der the former policy.

BARES BLACK HAND CRIME.
Youth Of 10 Confesses He Killed
Rich Grocer.

Tony Baffa, an 1S-year-old Italian
boy, who has been in this country only
three years, has confessed in the u
ty Jail, in Chicago, the murder of
Giuseppe Fillipelli, a grocer at 1887
Greenwood avenue, that city, at the
same time laying bare for what is per
haps the first time in criminal his.
tory the inner workings Of those ltal-
ian societies. known collectively as
The Black Hand" whose business is
murder, mayhem, KIDNAPPING and ex-
tortion.
The organization to which young
Baffa belonged was called by its mem
bers the "Loguisto," an ironical trans
lation of which is THE Society Of JUS
tice." Its other members, according
to Baffa's confession, were Antonio
Nude, Rafaelo Nude and PasQuale
Nudo, three brothers.; Joseph or Giu-
seppe Caro- and a mar called Ernesto,
whose surname Baffo does not know.
All of the men are laborers. Their
purpose in banding together, Baffa
says, was extortion by means of
BLACK Hand letters, and there was
no crime they were not willing to
commit to accomplish their endE.

NEW YORK.

Despite irregularities in crop and
weather conditions, midsummer infu-
ences in trade and industry and con
servatism in placing orders ahead,
business is of fairly good volume for
the season of the year and shows a
perceptibly steady advance toward nor
NAL proportions. In retail trade clear
ance sales are universal, but there are
numerous reports hat reduced pur-
chasing power offsets the stimulus Of
fered by this means Of inducing buy
ing. Wholesale trade for immediate
delivery and jobbing business in sum-
mer goods is of a light volume. Fall
trade reports are still relatively the
best of any branch. Still, there are
reports Of quiet in the Southwest, and
Chicago seems to be the most active
market in the country, with the North
west coming next as regards favorable
reports.

A sequel to the theft of 100000 from
Mrs. A. J. Shea of Eveleth. Mimi, in
Seattle, six weeks ago, and the subse-
quent recovery of the money came to
light when Mr.. Shea was arrested for
contempt of court in his refusal to
pay $4,000 on a $40, 900 judgment Sc
cured against him by his former at
torney, J. L. Washburn. Mr.. Shea
sold the timber on his claim for S2O,-
900, gave the money to his wife. who
went to the West with it.. The story
Of the theft was doubted by the Seat
tie police, and their suspicious were
more or less confirmed when $4,000 OF
the sum was reported to have been re-
turned. Shea was examined on sup
Elemental proceedings and ordered to
pay Mr.. Washburn $4,000 of the judg-
ment secured on a note, and for attor-
ney's fees and incidental expenses. He
failed to do this, and was sent to jail
for contempt of court.

WEST NEEDS $4,000 MEN.
Appeals for Harvest Help Heard at
National Capital.

A cry for help to harvest the sea
sons crops comes from the West to
officials of the Department of Com
merce and Labor in Washington, one
Of whose duties is to find employment
wherever possible for the throngs of
aliens who come to this country. Fiji
ty thousand ~able-bodied men are want
ed badly by the farmers, say Repre-
sentative Stevens of Minnesota, who
has been in conference with Assistant
Secretary McHarg and other officials
of the department. Mr.. Stevens ~
the West is literally begging for help
to gather the large wheat and other
crops
Although the officials are more than
willing to assist, they are not able to
do much because of the almost Denri-
less conditions OF nany immigrants.
Mr.. McHarg is heartily in favor of
the suggestion of Commissioner Will
Jams at the Ellis Island station that
immigrants should possess at least $50
on landing to prevent their becoming
public charges. He believes that the
problem Of relieving the congested
centers could be solved by the rail
roads if they offered to transport pas
at actual cost to sections
where profitable employment could be
found. The railroads would profit in
the end, he declares, because they
would carry back the product of the
aliens labor.
