KING EDWARD
MINES SCANDAL
Big Deal in Which NeWhouSe
"Anted' and Others Reaped
Profit Without Risk.

Several of the largest mining promoters
in the financial district will come up for
examination before Henry L Wolf, as
referee, this morning in suit growing
out of the famous King Edward Mines
exploitation in the Cobalt mine district
which promises to bring out some inter-
esting details of how such schemes are
tloated- The plaintiff in this action is
George Miner on an assigned cloim OF
Charles B. Flynn, who says he was en-
ployed by the defendants to bring to-
gether the properties that went into the
King Edward Mines and then was cast
aside, while one of the defendants,
through a firm of Toronto brokers. put
the deal through himself says a New
York paper.
In this process Flynn aserts that the
defendants made a profit of $500 600 or
more, besides 100000 shares of the stock
of the King Edward Mines, without put
ting up any money at all. He seeks the
examination of the defendants in advance
OF filing his complaint in an action to
recover commissions so that he may know
definitely what these profits were. The
defendants in the action are William H
Brevoort, Willis Mccormick, Clarence Nc
Cornick. Thomas T. VI. Raborg. George
Martin Luther. Otto GeTTher. Bernard NJ
Barueh, Payne Whitney and Samuel
NeWhouse. Flynn is represented by Her

SLEPT WITH DEAD FATHER
Pathetic Experience of Five Year
Old Lad in Rear Gulch.

Old Lad in Bear Gulch.
.Deadwood, S. D., March 30.-For
two nights the five-year-old son OF
G. w. Reynolds, an old-time pros
pector Of the Spearfish country, slept
with the dead '..dy Of his :ather,
thinking that :he CID man was en-
jt: ing his ut rial rel csc. The I: ct
that Reynolds 20" dead, was d.
covered SUI Ivy "vt1.ng by a IN
who was on lis Wy from Spe.r
fish to nearby sew mill camp and
stopped in to deliver some mall mat
ter. Reynolds hal evidently been
dead for some :i,Dc and according
to the story of the boy, had lam in
ths same position in his bed fer
fo.ty-eight hours or more previous
ly.
r'o some years past Reynolds hos
hecn living in Il cabin short d.
ta1os off the road which rs from
spe; IRISH to Bear gulch abont Ave
niles from tow. and has devoted his
tine to prospec ing and coltivating
d Suldll pdlCu VI SIOuuI. AhOut tVl
years ago his wife deserted HIM,
leaving him with their one-year old
son. Since then the father and the
boy have lived 1ogether III the cab
in where the former, lead body
was found Sunday evening.
The old man who had lived in
that section of the county for TWEEN
ty years past and was about sixty-
five years of age, had evidently
died Of heart failure. The boy says
his father had not complained Of
being in i'll health and although he
could not understand why he re-
manned in bed for such length Of
time, he had no suspicion shat he
was dead. The little fellow llade
several attempts to rouse mis- father.
but when he was unable to awaken
him, managed to look after his own
wants and found enough food in the
cabin to keep himself from hunger.

NEVER HARD TO DISTINGUISH
Visitors to Washington Easily Placed
by Hotel Clerks.

Visitors to Washington Easily Placed
by Hotel Clerks.
"Can you tell what state a per-
son is from when you first meet him,
providing he does not tell your"
Washington apartment house clerk
was asked.
mot so much the state, but GER
tainly the section of the country"
was the response. II would not
guarantee to tell a man from Kan
sas from one from Missouri, but
would know at glance whether the
man was from the north, south, east
or west. There is something almost
indeflnable both in appearance and
manner that enables one with ex-
perience behind q hotel desk or
apartment house register to recog-
nize at once the section of the coun-
try stranger is from, even before
word is spoken. OF course, mis-
takes can be made, but they are few.
it is just the same sort of intuition
that a hotel clerk has when he is
confronted by some one whom he
suspects as bad customer. He can
not tell why; the persons appearance
and manner show no fault that can
be pointed out, and yet he feels that
the person will need watching, and
he rarely goes wrong"
Can l tell what state a person is
from by looking at him?" asked an
other. Sometimes. But it is much
easier after a few words have passed.
I do not mean all states, but there
are some ways of telling what state
man is from, and then you can al
ways spot the part of country man
is from. For instance, there is some
thing breezy about westerners that
attracts your admiration. Then, Of
course you can always tell a man
from New York city. There is no
one else that dresses like him or Is
like him in any manner. The men
from the South are slouchy in their
dress. I do not mean anything un-
mplimentary about this. They
may be we'll dressed, but slouchy.
They wear SLOUGH hats a great deal,
for instance. Then did you ever
hear of anybody but Marylander
who would reply: Yes indeed or
Yes, indeedy,' to question? OF
course everybody knows Virginia
talk when he hears it, and in the
same way down-easter Is known
by his accent"
But If this is only fright much"
information on the subject, as some
of our neighbors would say, it is
"a-plenty," according to others.

Tariff Revision

We do not believe that a single
member of Congress now regards
either the Payne or Aldrich tariff re-
vision bill as being along the line
of tariff revision demanded by, and
promised to the people.
The protective tariff principle is
all right, and has very materially
aided in making the United States
one of the greatest nations on earth,
but the pending discussion of the
Aldrich tariff bill is disclosing the
enormous iniquities of over protec-
ton with force not matched by
campaign orators.
Senator Cummins of Iowa in a
speech attacking the Aldrich tariff
bill stated, in effect, that should
such measure, or one substantially
like it, be enacted at the special ses-
sion of Congress, Immediately upon
the adjournment of that body tariff
revision campaign would be COM
menced by the people, and continued
until their wishes find effective ex-
preston in our National Legislative
halls.

glacier region of Alaska just made

partment of geology. Cornell Uni

of the model, which shows 1850
square miles of Alaska and Canada,
including the biggest glacier in the
world outside the Arctic and Antar-
tic circles, the Melaspina, covering
500 square miles.
Over two months was required to
make the clay model, which is 7x475
feet, and 625 photographs, besides
many maps, survey reports and de-
scriptions were used. This is the
third relief model made by the ge-
ology department of the University
of Wisconsin, the others being of
the Lake Superior region and the

1t was recently rumored that an
enissary had been sent to Washing
ton to treat with Senator La Toilette
for a cessation of hostilities" at
Madison, in the interest of party
harmony. If this report is true it
indicates weakening on the part
of the Stephenson men who are look
ing ahead for smaller game than
Scholarships. The politicians
ought to know that Senator La Fol-
lette does not desire party harmony
upon any other basis than a recog-
milton of his own supremacy in the
Republican party in Wisconsin.
Should the Stephenson men wish to
treat with the senior Senator along
this line he will listen attentively to
what they may say. Otherwise, he
will doubtless intimate to them that
he is accustomed TO party turmoil,
and need not be expected to make
any concessions.

Equity to the Front

The Journal is always glad to
help along any meritorious move
ment. The American Society of
Equity has passed the experimental
stage in this state and has come to
be regarded as one of the great up
lift institutions, socially, education
ally and financially.
Hundreds Of localities have felt
it's influence and thousands of farm
ers have been financially benefited
by it's more intelligent system of
marketing farm products.
The report of the State Secretary
for the first quarter of 1909 shows a
very encouraging condition. The
State Union has not only gained in
membership over the same time last
year but it showed very much bet
ter condition financially. The re-
ceipts were larger, the disburse-
nents less-with a balance of some
thing over 500 in the treasury.
Hon. C. o. Drayton, the president
of the National Union Of the A. S.
of E. Of Indianapolis, Ind, will
visit fifteen counties in Wisconsin
this month. He will speak in Me-
no1nonie on Saturday, May %, and
at Saltwater, Mimi, Thursday,
May 81.
Mr.. Drayton is a forceful speaker
and has a message to deliver that
will make it worth the while of any
farmer or business man to take the
time to attend the meeting. The
principles of "Co-operative and In
telligent Marketing" are worthy OF
careful consideration. Ten or fit
teen thousand dollars extra in this
or any other farming community as
a result of better prices paid farm
ers for farm products is certainly
a benefit to every legitimate indus
try and it is to secure this extra
money for the farmers that the A.
S. of E. is working. Help it along.

New Deal Reported

While the LaFollette State Senate
was declaring E. A. Edmonds,
Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee, and manager of
Stephenson's Senatorial primary
campaign, to be in contempt"
that distinguished individual, was
in Washington, "hobnobbing" with
President Taft, and taking steps
preliminary to becoming a candidate
for La Follette's seat in the United
States Senate.
Whatever may be the effect of the
Senatorial primary investigat up
on Senator Stephenson, it is report
ed that the big politicians have de-
cided that the inquisition has killed
Governor Davidson, politically, and
they have already commenced prep
arations for the obsequies by substi-
tuting Edmonds for Davidson as
the Stephenson candidate for the
United States Senate, to succeed
La Toilette.
If Davidson endorses this alleged
plan for his own political funeral he
will doubtless be given desirable
Federal appointment. Should II
not meet with his approval he will
probably endeavor TO convince the
Stephenson engineers that he is not
only not politically dead but that he
is no mere foot ball 10 be kicked
about for their amusement and
profit.
The availability of Mr., Edmonds
as a Senatorial candidate has un-
doubtedly been somewhat impaired
by his attitude of ignorance, evasive-
ness, and forgetfulness, as witness
before the Senatorial primary in
vestigating committee, and he may
be retired from the field. Be that
as it may, the Stephenson forces
will be found lined up" in support
of some one other than La Toilette
in the next Senatorial primary cam
paign.
