an examination before United States
Commissioner Shields on July u.
The technical charge against them

making false representations as TO
the status of the United Wireless
Telegraph Company's stock
Immense sums of money are alleged
10 have been turned into the Golfers OF
the company from ali parts Of the globe
before the postoffice inspectors and
oJner Federal authorities got wind of
the plan and gave it its quietus.
Briefly told. one officer is already
declared to have made $4,000 within
few months, while another is said 10
have gained a sum in the neighbOrhood
of 100000.
Inspector Mayors Version.
The plan is alleged TO have involved
the old game Of watering OF stock
amounting TO 100000 shares. but the
project was consummated in such a
manner that everyone appeared 10
have been deceived, for a time at least.
The company issued S2O.OO0,OOO worth OF
stoek-that is 10 say. paper worth.
Chief Postofhce Inspector Mayer to-
day said, however. that the stock wasn't
really worth one-hundredth part of that
amount. An inside committee is alleged
to have boosted the stock until il
/ reached a value of $50 a share. and until
the par value had risen TO the sum of
| 81, 900, 900. And the most amazing fea-
ture of the whole scheme was that the
pubHc-peoples Of all American and Eu-
ropean nations, were actually purchas-
| ing the stock on that basis.
Every time a contract was made 10

day, the stock was boosted s. a share.
II Is one Of the most astounding frauds
which has ever been foisted upon the
public-certainly fiction, even, has never
known anything done upon such a 81
gantic scale
How Company Operated.
With each additional boost OF S a
share, the Ostensible price OF the aggre-
gate stock rose SlO,O00.G0O or more. The
installation OF single apparatus upon
liner. therefore. as computed by In
spectOr Mayer, furnished the company
with additional funds sufficient TO build
, a railroad. The scheme was practically

BOARD OF TRADE GAMBLING RE sPoNsI5LE FOR TWO SUICIDES IN KANSAS CITY.

KANSAS CITY. April 7.-Financial losses incurred in partnership in a brokerage are believed to have caused the double suicide of Nels and C. W Olsen, brothers, whose bodies were found ol the bank of the Missouri river. three miles east of here to day. The deaths. t appears. were deliberately planned. On January 2S. following a series of reverses on the beard of trade. the brothers left their apartment here. and were not seen alive since. After their depart Ure relatives said the men announced they had lost all" and intended to kill themselves.
 Rumors had it the losses amounted to SI00, 900. Two fishermen came upcn the bodies today. They had been dead several weeks. Ciutched tightly in the hand of one of the men was a revolver containing empty she'ls The authorities say he may have shot his brother and then killed himself

 The other prisoner was brought or to Tombstone in charge of the train crew.

The administration of the city gov ernment in Bisbee has been costly it is true, owing to the fact that B.sbee has a site which requires great ex- pense to make streets or do anything in the way of public improvement However. there has been aothing un- dertaken in the way of street improve ment which was not desired by the residents and propert5 owners of the city. There is not another mining city in the country with no better site that has accomplished more in the making of.-streets, subways and re- taining walls than has been accom- plished in Bisbee and there has been no extravaganza or waste in this work iustifying the criticism that comes frcm the republican newspaper here. The fact is that Bisbee has no cause for complaint on account of it's gov ernment Mayor Neale has again to accept the office of mayor and we sub nit that he is worthy of a continua- ten of public confidence.

RAILROAD SECRETARY OF Y. M. C. A. MAKES DEEP IMPRESSION ON HEARERS LAST NIGHT.

The most interesting meeting held in the Y. Nj. c. A. for many months was conducted by A. C. Knebel of Chicago last night Mir. Knebel who, not long since. succeeded Geo. D. Me
 Dill as railroad secretary of the southwest. is making a trip over the E. P. X s. W. system getting aequaint- cd with the people and the conditions in his newly assigned territory. The meeting was not called to order until after the revival service at the Chris tian church. about S:30.
 The meeting began with two beau, tiful piano selections by Mir. Rein both, followed by a few introductory remarks by Secretary Pollard Mir
 Knebel is remembered by many as the young man who drew such large crowds to the r. NJ. c. A. a little over
 three years ago with his pleasing address and his foreeful arguments
 when he delivered a series of ad- dresses in the local building. He has Q peculiar talent Of getting very close to men. and the 125 who heard him last night sat in rapt silence during the discourse.
 The lobby of the building was not arranged for a meeting and it was so at the speakers request. so that no man would feel out of place on ac-
 count of his surroundings. Many
 men. the speaker explained. do not like to attend religious services be- cause they iSel uncomfortable in
 strange surroundings. and he wanted no one to feel that way at a meeting in which he participated.
 The subject of the talk was the
 Prod gal Son. and perhaps the first thought is that t was the old story i in the same old way The facts in ! the story have always been the same,
 but last night it was told in such an | interesting way that it sounded new The meeting was simply a heart-to | heart talk from the speaker to ovei : che hundred men, all of whom fell | kindlier toward each other when the l service was ended.
 Light refreshments were served 1T the lobby, consisting of cake ana | chocolate. Mir Enebel leaves thii
 morning fer Fl Paso. from which i place he will visit the various citiel ! in New Mexico on the Santa Fe.>

irrigated orchards of Colorado and ether states west of the ram belt.
 She finds in these orchards some. valuable lessons in fruit culture for the east. Here is an abridgement of some Of the questions. and inc an- swers to them which the comparison prompts:
 Every year she says. We hear of the fears and often Of the losses suf fered by Michigan and Maryland peach growers from the spring frosts. The weather bureau sends out warnings Of cold waves in Michigan and Maryland inst as in Colorado.
 But who e,er heard of these east ern fruit growers, setting out forty petroelum burners to the acre to keep or the frost. and of whole towns the work?"
 Last spring when the weather bu- reau sent a cold wave warning into Grand Junction. Colo. right in apple blossom time. it was telephoned to every grower in the valley. and the To- cal board Of trade gathered up yolun- teer workers and sent them in wagon loads to help fight of the frost and they fought it of
 Results? Not earnings of $500 ar acre on the average for the Grand valley orchards. and assured prosper ity for the town which is their market and shipping point
 The country where Miss Laut lives in the east is somewhat renowned for fruit. Yet she found but one orchard lst who sprays h's trees, and that 1 only once a year. The Colorado orch ardist figures on a man at ss0 a month for each ten acres from blos- soming to ripening. doing nothing but spray the trees.
 The eastern and middle western farmer complains necessarily of the .middleman." The western Irrigation farmer joins the fruit growers associ ations- with it's cold storage house al the shipping point and it's inspectors seeing to it that no imperfect fruit goes out. and its selling agent in Chi cago or New York getting as much as s5OoO a year. and earning it.
 Results? The Colorado applegrowei gets as much for a quarter barrel boa as the Michigan or New York grower ] gest for a whole barrel.

THE LESSON
 OF IRRIoATioN.

In the current issue Of the Review of Reviews. Agnes C. Laut makes some valuable suggestions with regard to the future of American farming. ard calls attention to the interesting fact that the real benefit to be derived by the country from the recent irriga- ton movement is to be found not so much in the additions that the irri- gated farms have made to the sum to- tai of the nations wealth, as in the improved methods which farming by irrigation has given not only to the arid regions of the west. but also to the humid regions of the eastern and middle states.

COL. ROoSEVELT'S ADVICE.

Some of the American newspapers are inclined to applaud the speeches of Col. Roosevelt in Cairo upon the ground that he spoke as a courageous man. unable to suppress his honest sentiments. and unwilling to minee matters to save the feelings of his audience. It is wise to be flank and well to be brave. when one has a right to get into the quarrel. But gra- tutious advice is sometimes gratutious insult, and putting in" in the domes- tic broiIs of a household in which one is a guest is always impolite and rare ly pardonable. says the Courier Jour nal Col. Roosevelt held no commis- sion to settle the affairs of the Arabs and the English. The uDroar in the vicinity of his hotel. and in the vernac- ular press of Egypt was a natural re-  suit of his misguided intrepidity. Al though he won the applause of some of the British civil servants in Cairo Col ROoseveit's orations to the Arabs must be "writ down as having con stituted a faux pas of which polit.- elan ambitious to hold position as a citizen of the world should not have been guilty.
 Let us see how much of a hit the gallant Coloners sortie made with the thoughtful element in London.
 The London Standard says ironical iy that Col. Roosevelt is said to have been offered the post of adviser gen eraI to the Chinese Empire. and that he ought to accept it. as he is evident Iy, in the light of his Egyptian speech es. the man for the place.

MT Taft's judicious friends may well remonstrate with him for consti- tuting himself the principal champion of the new tarin law and the sole apol- ogist for the increased cost of living.
 The Payne-Aldrich act was not to his liking at first He plainly voiced his disappointment Tt is not a per feet tariff bill." he said. ~or a com plete compliance with the promises made. strictly interpreted" Day by day. however, since its passage his ad- miration for the measure has been growing. At Winona, Minn.. in Sep tember he discovered that it had many virtues. In New York last Feb ruary it had only one fault. the woolen | schedule. Of late in Rochester, Al bany and Providence he has pro nounced 1t the best of all tariffs and has found no defect in it of any kind.
 In this matter the president is nei- ther consistent nor wise. says the | World. He is congratulating himself and he is needlessly antagonizing pub lie sentiment. Before and for some time after his election his views on the subject of the tariff were moder- ate. He was elected on this under standing. Now he accepts the ex- treme protectionism of Payne and AIdrich as his own. justifies it. de nounces these who criticise it and prophecies freely concerning it's future popularity.
 The men who are responsible for the legislation are today practically without defenders among the people. They are regarded with suspicion.

They are standing pat as usual Only the president. who frankly con demned the law at it's birth, Is now it's champion.
