OPPOSES REDUCTION
OF BOND OF BROKER
District Attorney Jerome Declares He
Believes Wrongful Sale of Heinze
Securities Is Result of
Conspiracy

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-In opposing
a plea for a reduction of the $4,000
bond under which Donald l.. Persch, Il
note broker is being held on a grand
larceny indictment, District Attorney
Jerome today declared his belief tho
wrongful sale of Heinze mining stocks
collateral, in which Persch is alleged
to have figured, was but one of the al
legations of conspiracy in which men
'in high finance" had combined to
"crush a rival"
Persch was arraigned to plead to the
indictment charging him with having
procured from the Windsor Trust COM
pany and sold about 100000 worth OF
mining stock which NJ. NJ. Joyce, q
broker, who frequently acts for f. Au-
gustus Heinze, had deposited as colla-
teral for loan.
John F. Mcintyre, Perschs attorney,
declared that Persch had been "a cats
paw in the hands of wiser and more
experienced men,"
Persch's attorney was unable to get
the court to consent to the reduction of
bail.
Mr. Jerome said If before Monday
Persch should consent TO tell the dis
trict attorneys office the facts of the
entire transaction, in which 1t was
claimed he was an instrument in the
hands of dishonest people," the dis
trict attorneys Office would be glad to
consider the reduction.

SHERIFF PREVENTS
PRISONERS HANGING
County official Takes Suspects from
Prison and Smuegles Them in
Automobile from Goldfield

GOLDFIELD, New, Aug. 17.-1nfuri-
ated to the point of mob violence by
the suicide of Thomas Heslip, widely
known mining man, who ended his Ire
by taking cyanide of potassium today
while crazed with grief over the death
of his wife, who was shot and killed by
Patrick c. Casey last night, band of
citizens organized later in the day de-
termifed to storm the county Jail, in
which Casey was confined, and string
him to the nearest telegraph pole, and
to work a similar vengeance on Mar
tin Sheridan who has been awaiting
trial for wife murder for six months
1t was the purpose of the mob to
dynamite the Jail, which withstood an
attack last night just after Casey killed
Mrs. Heslip and wounded Mrs. Frank
Mann, the attack being planned for
tonight. The plan was defeated by
Sheriff Callahan. however, who smug'
gled both prisoners out of the jail and
carried them to Tonopah in automo-
biles manned by heavily armed guards.
Because of the fury of the citizens
the district attorney has called the
grand jury to act on both cases with
out delay, to placate the townspeople.
The district judge has promised that
the cases of Casey and Sheridan will
be brought to trial Immediately.

JAPAN DISCOURAGES
FISHING FOR SEALS
NIPPONESE GOVERNMENT RE-
MOVES SUBSIDY
Premium Is Taken off So Check May
Be Made to Poachng for Fur
Bearing Fish in Alaskan
Waters

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 17.-Accord-
ing to a statement issued from the
office of Japanese Consul General Ma
gai yesterday, the Japanese govern
ment has withdrawn the subsidy here
tofore extended to vessels engaged in
hunting seals and sea otters, in order
to check the operations of seal poach-
ers among the islands off the Alaskan
coast The statement says in part:
1T may not be generally known in
this country that the Japanese govern
ment has for many years subsidized
vessels engaged in deep ocean fishing
the purpose being to encourage the de-
velOpment of the industry.
From time to time certain adventur-
Gus Japanese, taking advantage of this
liberal provision of law, have extended
their operations beyond the limits orig
inally contemplated by the government
until fishing boats had been put on the
high seas bordering Alaska. AS is al
ready known to the American people,
some of these fishermen, either through
ignorance or with criminal intent, have
occasionally committed acts leading to
international controversy and much III
feeling.
'It is now learned that the Japanese
government has revised its fishing
laws in such a way as to cut out all
aid from the national treasury to YES
sells engaged in hunting seals and sea
otters. The new imperial ordinance
went into operation July 1, 1909.
TT is believed the withdrawal of the
subsidy will discourage Japanese seal
fishing, as it cannot be carried on
without government aid"

LOVES SWEETHEART,
But NOT HUSBAND
Young Woman Makes Impassioned
Plea to Be Allowed to Land in
America, but viii Be
Deported

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-The immigra-
tion officials have shattered the
romance of 19-year-old Beatrice Mayer,
who left her husband of few months
and eloped to this country with her
first sweetheart, Adolph Grohman, %
years old.
The young couple. who had a plenti-
full supply of money and whose refine
ment apparently verified their claim of
l1inship with prominent families at
Prague, arrived here on a steamship
Sunday. Mrs. Mayer was accompanied
by her maid and all of them had first
cabin passage. They would not have
been disturbed in their desire to land
had not cablegram preceded their ar
rival. 1t was from Mrs. Mayors hus-
band and asked they be detained.
A special board of inquiry has de-
cided the man and Mrs. Mayer and her
maid must be deported Before the
board Mrs. Mayer made an impassioned
plea to be allowed to land.
"Adolph was my school companion
and we have loved each other for
years." she said. I'VE wanted to mar
ry, but my folks objected. They wanted
me to marry a banker. I resisted as
long as 1 could. but in the end they
forced me into this Objectionable mar
riage. I never loved NV husband, but
do love Adolph. After four months
of married life 1 decided the only way
to avoid a life of trouble and unhappi-
ness was to run away with Adolph."

SUSPECT Lodqed In Jail

TONOPAH, New. Aug. 17.-PatricB
Casey, charged with the murder OF
Mrs. Heslip at Goldfeld last night, was
lodged in the county jail here today
after having been smuggled from the
Esmeralda county prison to save him
from lynching.
Sheriff Callahan of Esmeralda coun-
ty telephoned to Sheriff Owens of Nye
county, asking that officer to meet him
twelve miles out on the Goldheld road
An automobile loaded with deputies
hastened to the scene to discover that
the Goldfeld machine had broken
down. Repairs were made. and the
whole party hurried to this city, where
Casey was placed in the county jail
under strong guard.
There is little talk of lynching here,
and it is believed that the prisoners
will not be molested unless some of the
Goldheld men come to stir up the local
public, which it is admitted would
be an easy matter to accomplish.
Martin Sheridan, who is held on a
charge of murder, also was brought
here with Casey, to avoid possible mob
violence.

LOEB THREATENS TO
SUE LABOR LEADER
ROOSEVELT'S FORMER SECRE.
TARY DISLIKES INSINUATION
Collector of New York Port Claims
Editor of Paper Used Yelled At
tack on Him in Regard to
Audit System

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Court pro-
ceedings by William Loeb, jr., collector
of the port of New York, are said to
hang over the head of a local labor
leader.
Mr.. Loeb has written to Samuel
Denedrey the editor of local trades
union paper, protesting vigorously
against a recent article in the paper
stating that Mr.. Loeb contemplates
appointing Charles A. Stillings, former
public printer, to a position of trust
in the New York customs service, and
which concluded with the question;
who was at the head of the audit
system?"
1t is understood that Mr.. Loeb took
offense at what he believed to be a
veiled insinuation he was interested in
the audit system which was inaugural
ed at the government printing office by
Mr.. Stillings and which, ultimately, was
responsible primarily for the resigna-
tion of Mr.. Stillings as public printer
Mr. Loeb intimates it is his intention
to carry the matter into the courts.
Mr. Denedrey says he was absent
from the city when the article appeared
in his paper and does not know how it
got into print.

BELLFONTAINE, Ohio, Aug. IL
The white wings of the town Of Lake
View, near here, are literally white
wings now. They are ducks.
Recently the finances of the village
fell to such shallow ebb it was impos-
sible to longer employ a street sweeper,
so his services were dispensed with.
stiH there remained few dollars in the
treasury. One of the aldermen proposed
money be invested In flock of ducks,
which would forage in the streets and
eat the rubbish.
Lean ducks were bought and turned
loose in the streets. They started in to
eat the waste from the streets at one
end of the town in the morning and to
eat TO the other end, when they were
turned backward or shifted to another
