ever, there is always ii strip of coun-

Apparently there are two distinct
points of origin for these shocks. and
the strip where single shock is felt is
that where the two sets of vibrations
arrive simultaneously. The fact that
this band is straight shows that the
twin shocks occur together and that

Notes From Washington
From our Regular Correspondent.

The officials of the Treasury
Department greatly regret the
erroneous and misleading state
ments concerning the tariff and
the effect of the duties that have
found their way into circulation
recently; and particularly
table, just published by a couple
of eastern papers and purport-
ing to show the amount of duty
collection on various necessities,
approximately forty in mber,
which it is. alleged was computed
by officials of the Treasury for
the use Of the President. This
table was in fact prepared for
the Presidents use. but on COM
pletion it was found to be so mis-
leading that it was rejected and
was never submitted to him.
For instance, the table repre-
sents the duty paid on men S
suits retailing at SIS to be $40, IS
each under the Dingley law, and
the Payne and Senate bills;
while the fact is that the duty on
suits of that quality is $4.76.
Mems overcoats retailing at the
same price are cited as paying a
duty of $11.O6, whereas the
actual duty is 1854. Mems So.
hats are cited as paying a duty
of 90 13 cents under the Dingley
law and the Payne bill, and Is s.
6 cents under the Senate bill,
whereas the duty is IS cents I'M
der all three measures. Men
shoes selling at retail for $3.50,
the table represents as paying
a duty Of 81 IL cents under the
Dingley law and 81 IL cents un-
der the pending bill, while the
actual duty under the Dingley
law is Sc cents, and under the
pending bill % cents. These
are merely sample, and similar
inaccuracies are to be found
throughout the table, so that the
unwillingness of the Treasury
officials to have it go forth as in
formation prepared by experts
for the use of the President can
be readily understood. Dis
tressed as the I'reasu officials
are over the circuiatOin of this
misleading table, they cannot
tut see the humorous side of the
situation and predictions are
rife that this table resuscltated
from the depths of. some waste
basket will live to haunt them
through many campaigns, some
even declaring that it will get a
prominent place in the Demo
cratic textbook of the next cam
paign.

FOUR IS QUASHED
BY The COURT
CHARGE AGAINST ED UREN DIS
MISSED FOR LACK OF
EVIDENCE

Act No. 4 Of the farce comedy en-
titled, Indicted by Mistake was
concluded yesterday when the indict-
ment against Ed Uren, charged with
receiving stolen property, was
quashed by Judge Averill of the
district court, upon the recommen-
dation of the district attorney.
The indicting Of Uren showed
great work on the part of those who
presented the evidence to the grand
jury. The whole case is based on
the stealing of some furs from a
woman named Bowman. The au-
thorities captured the two princi-
pals, one of whom confessed. They
We're Immediately granted immunity
and almost in the same breath the
grand jury returned a handful OF
indictments against parties who
were charged with having had the
furs in their possession, handled
them. and also having seen other
people have them. 1t was a great
piece of work in tracing down the
evidence. And since that time the
indictments have been quashed, one
By one, because of a lack of eyi-
dence.
In stating the reasons to the court
yesterday, the district attorney said
that no evidence had been produced
to show that Uren was in any way
connected with the handling of the
furs. Furthermore, he said, the
principals had been granted immun.
ity when they should have been pun.

GEORGES CANYON
JOSEPH KENNISON is IN RE-
CEIPT OF NEWS THAT
LEASE HAS ORE

Joseph Kennison, the popular
manager Of the Tonopah club, is an
other resident Of this city who IS
congratulating himself on having be-
come interested in Georges Canyon.
With George e. Aitken, Kennison
became interested III the camp a few
months since, and the showing that
is now being made on the property
is causing not only the owners, but
others in the vicinity to sit up and
take notice. A sack of samples re-
ceived by Mr.. Kennison, represent
ing an average Of the ledge on which
a shaft is now being sunk, and
which has reached a depth Of 40
feet, gave returns of between sac
and $50. Aitken and Kennison are
prepared to carry on work during
the winter, having sent in supplies
to last for several months. Three
men are now at work on their
ground, and the report which was
sent in with the sack Of samples
was that the showing was improv-
ing every day.
Harry Stimler, who is largely In.
terested in Georges Canyon, left foI
the camp yesterday by way of Man
haitian. Three sets of leasers arc
at work on the ground in which
Stimler is interested, known as the
Georges Canyon Mines company'c
ground, and some good reports are
loked for on the return of Stimlel
