STATE ROAD WORK.
Board of Aldermen at Odds and
Work Held Up.

Board of Aldermen at Odds and
Work Held Up.
The State road work in Ellswt rth for
amounts to deadlock in board OF alder
men.
The city last spring appropriated s4OO
for State road work at Ellsworth Falls.
Street Commissioner Hurley started in on
the work, but protested against some OF
the changes OF grade as called for in the
plans and specifications as being unneces-
sary and expensive.
Alderman Hagan, who ~ civil engineer,
made the plans, is also . State road in
spector. The grades Ms called for are what
is required in all State road work. He
insisted that the work should be done
according to the plans. Street Com
missioner Hurley stopped work and ap-
pealed to the mayor and board OF alder
men.
The matter was the subject OF acrimoni-
Gus discussion at the last regular city
meeting. Aid. Hagan's molten to proceed
with the work was seconded by Aid.
Small, but Mayor Hagerthy did not put
the question.
A recess was taken to Saturday to allow
the full board to go over the road and
plans. Aid. Hagan, Small and Parcher
showed up at the meeting Saturday, but
Aid. Parcher refused to take action at the
meeting without the presence Of the
mayor and other aldermen. A further re-
cess was taken to Monday afternoon, but
Aldermen Hagan and spall were the only
ones who put in an appearance.
1t looks as il action might be deferred
until the fall rains put an end to hope for
the completion Of the work this year.

HARDSHIPS IN WlLDS
Twenty-Five Northern Railway Men
Overcome Many Obstacles Fight
ing Their Way Back
to Civilization

VANCOUVER, e. c., March 26.-
Their supplies stolen by Cree Indians
in the wilds of the Rocky mountains,
and with everyone of their forty-four
horses dead of starvation, twenty-five
men belonging to a Canadian North
ern railway survey party, headed by
Engineer C. f. Harrington, arrived in
Vancouver today after having fought
their way to civilization through mid
winter snow drifts.
On their return trip from Yellow
head pass, where they had been at
work, the engineers discovered that
their caches of supplies had been
rined. The horses perished of starva-
ton, March 2 when 1922 miles northeast
of Kamloops, the twenty-five men
found that all that lay between them
and starvation was five pounds of
bacon. On that they ''mushed" over
the snow for two days to Blue river
where fifty pounds of flour was given
them by a trapper. Twenty-nine miles
farther south cache of 100 pounds of
flour was found. At the head of a
government wagon road, settlement
was reached and two days rest taken.
So famished were the men on reach
ing the settlement that they consumed
five bushels of potatoes at one meal

SEEKS TO REWIN
FADED MILLIONS
FORTUNE SMILES AGAIN ON
FORMER COTTON KING
Backed by Millions, Daniel Sully is
Returning from Europe to Push
a Great Cotton Ginning
Enterprise

NEW YORK, March 26.-Daniel
Sully, once hailed as the Cotton King
of America" :" is expected to arrive here
today from Europe to begin great
battle to regain the millions he lost
four wears ago in an effort to repeat
his famous Corner of the cotton
market. When Sully's corner smashed
he was completely broke" Today,
with the backing of John Hays Ham
mond and associates, he has control
of the new cotton gin invented by
Prof. r. o. Doremus of Washington
and has a $10a000,0 900 company in Lon
don for the handling of Egyptian cot
ton with the Doremus patents. Eng
lish investors are said to have become
so interested in Sully's plans that a
party of them is accompanying him to
this side to assist the Hammond
combination here.
Sully, in an interview in England,
declared that he had deserted the
gambling feature of the cotton market
forever, but Wall street awaits his
arrival with some anxiety on account
of rumors of the perfection of a trust
that will be of great magnitude in buy
ing cotton from the planter and ship
ping it to European markets.
Since Sully's crash on the market he
has made several efforts to regain his
fortune, but without success. One of
his efforts was with a gold mine in
Arizona He failed to get a fortune
from the rock, but managed to get
acquainted with Hammond, the famous
mining engineer, and from the latter
cot the start with which he organized
the big company which is becoming so
important a factor in the cotton world.

VETERANS MEET
IN LOS ANGELES
GEN. BARRY GUEST OF MAJOR
JOHN H. NORTON
California Department Commander
Soon to Leave State to Become
Superintendent of Military
Academy at West Point

Two grizzled veterans of early days
in California clasped hands in Los An
geles yesterday and retold the stories
of their youth in the great west as
servants of Uncle Sam. They are
Brig. Gen. Thomas II. Barry. u. S. A,
commander of the department of Cali
fornia, who viii leave in a short time
to become superintendent of the mill
tary academy at West Point, and Maj.
John II. norton, railroad contractor,
whose guest the general is.
Gen. Taskar A. Bliss, head of the
army war college at Washington, has
been appointed to succeed General
Barry in California. The generals
visit here is OF routine nature. He
was prevented from inspecting the for
tifcations at San Pedro yesterday by
the late arrival of his tain, but will
visit the army post at San Diego today.
General Barry has won his spurs by
"sticktuitiveness" and as one friend
aptly remarks of the genial warrior
"he doesn't know when to quit"
General Barry was graduated from
West Point in 1873 and has seen ac-
tive service not only in Cuba. but the
Philippines. His eye is mild blue. His
smile sheds warm sunshine on all sides
until he is aroused, and then, accord
ing to his friends, his short stature
seems to tower mountain high, and
something is bound to break. With all
his strict training General Barry has
a well developed sense of humor. which
may help the hazing- Students of West
Point. General Barry followed the
Japanese troops during the Russian
war and won the good will of the
mikado's officers.

Mr.. Kahn declared that Minority
Leader Clark was not serious when he

"Muckrakers," he added, "may make
the people wallow a little now and
then, but they generally wallow out at
election time when they shall have
learned the truth through public dis
cussion of public questions"
Mr.. Kahn reviewed the lives of many
public men to show that those who had
been vilified by some newspapers or
journals had taken places of the high
est honor in the history of the country.

ONLY SURFACE SCRATCHED
IN FIRE INSURANCE PROBE

NEW YORK. March 26.-The fire in
surance investigation, which William
A. Hotchkiss, state superintendent of
insurance, began here week ago, was
not in formal session today, but Mr..
Hotchkiss and his counsel were busily
engaged at Albany fortifying them
selves with the preparation of further
evidence for presentation when the
hearings are resumed Monday.
Mr. Hotchkiss has been quoted as
saying he has thus far only scratched
the surface. In an interview today he
said:
1.-THE investigation will be continued
until there is not another fact of value
to be brought out. 1t will be as broad
and deep as we can make it. No man
will be spared from telling all he can
tell the public, whether he be a Re-
publican or a Democrat, bank presi-
dent or hod carrier, politician or plain
common citizen"

NEW GRAFT LEAK
STIRS PITTSBURG
COUNCILMAN IS REPORTED TO
HAVE CONFESSED
Directors of Banks Named by Grand
Jury Meet to Frame Reply
to District Attorneys
Demands

PITTSBURG, March 26.--Another of
the councilmen, one charged with being
a ringleader, is believed to have weak
ened today and told his tory of graft
conspiracy to the district attorney.
This step and the unusual activity Of
county detectives serving to indicate
to the councilmen that any sudden de-
parture from town would be hazardous
were the only developments of the day
in the graft cases.
Charles Stewart, with his attorney,
former Governor w. A. Stone, called
on District Attorney Blakeley today.
Three hours later when they emerged
from his office Blakeley would give out
no definite statement.
The district attorney, however, has
repeatedly announced that Stewart held
the key to some of the big ones" i'm
plicated in the graft conspiracy. If
indictments against certain bankers
are assured, it is thought.
The grand jury yesterday in it's pre-
sentiment said Stewart was the man
who was paid $4,000 in the Hotel I'm
perial. New York. The name of the
man who paid it is known, and
Stewards evidence would be in the line
of corroboration.
Interest centered about meetings of
the directors of banks named by the
grand jury yesterday. The subject
of a reply to the district attorneys
demands was not taken up at the Co
lumbia National bank or the German
National of Pittsburg, while the FARM
ers National announced that it would
readily comply. The Second National
directorate prepared a statement,
signed and certified, as ordered, and
forwarded it to Harrison Nesbit, fore
man of the grand jury. The German
National of Allegheny had no state
ment to make, while the Worl1ingmen's
Savings and Trust company held no
meeting.

SACRAMENTO, March 26,-Oa sug-
gestion that California may be in dam
ger of invasion by fieas twice the size
of spry insects which today menace
manl<ind. and with proboscis twice as

Golden State native, DR.. w. F. Snow

Instituted an investigation of colony
of alleged trained Persian 1ieas per-

Danger lies in the fact that should a
pair of these escape from captivity it
might not be long before California
would be infested with swarms OF
lusty insects eager for human gore.
There is a quarantine against most
kinds of foreign creatures which might
invade the United States, but what
might be done against this flea colony
should it be a decided menace, is a
matter of conjecture.
