LAYS BLAME ON BROKERS
JAMES r. NENE'S SHARE IN
COLLAPSE OF POOL.
Situation of Peculiar Difficulty Con-
fronts Stock Manipulator-Re-
suit Of His Own Testimony.

NEW YORK, March 19-James r.
Keene's share in the disastrous collapse
of the Columbus and Hooking pool, of
which he was manager, has brought that
veteran and adroit manipulation into a
situation Of peculiar difficulty. His adj
mission on the witness stand that his
brokers. by virtue of a forgotten private
agreement and of their own responsible
ity. sold out his personal holdings In the
pool at a profit estimated at all the way
between 100000 and 100000 leaves him
nothing, in the opinion of conservative
houses, who discussed the case today, but
the two horns Of dilemma.
IF when the hearings are resumed. .
said member Of one of these houses
today, MIR. keene's brokers &C on the
witness stand and corroborate his allega-
tons Of an agreement made with them
five years ago. they may have some ex-
plantations to make to the board of gov
ernors Of the stock exchange.
The Other Viewpoint.
IF. on the other hand they repudiate
Mr.. Keene's account OF such an agree
ment and swear that they sold Hooking
for Mr.. Keene at his own order, and
used his stock to cover their short sales
for him with his knowledge. Mr.. keene's
plight will be most unenviable.''
Since Mr.. Keene's testimony to the
existence Of such agreement became pub
lie there have been many inquiries as
to the possible prevalence of other like
agreements between brokers and large
speculative operators. It was said to-
day that the case had been discussed at
a recent meeting of the governors. and
that not member present had ever
heard of an agreement whereby broker
had a right to sell his customers stock
for himself.
Mr. Keene is not a member OF the stock
exchange. but operates through various
brokers from behind battery of private
telephones.

TOM DERIFIELD BUYS
Secured Valuable Tract Adjacent to

Okanogan lands are beginning to
come to the front, Judging from a
recent sale made by E. E. Hess, who
has sold his place on Johnson creek
to Tom Derifield. of Wenatchee. for
S7,40O. Part of the tract is under
irrigation, which, of course, speaks
volumes of it's possibilities from the
viewpoint of raising fruit and the
fact that Wenatchee man has
taken possession of it is in itself sig
nificant.
While this land will not touch the
railroad but be only contiguous
thereto, it should also be remember
ed in this connection that the
Great Northern officials have recent
ly made a further promise to the
river towns that the trains will be
rolling through them not later than
the first of next June.-Okanogan

That trees afflicted with tree canker,

Notice of Proposed Amend
ment Now Being Run in
Wenatchee Advance.

The Wenatchee Advance contains
notice of a proposed amendment to
the state constitution. The wording
Of the amendment gives but little
idea of the real meaning of the
amendment, but the real purpose is
to submit to the voters of the state
the question of whether or not wo-

The authorization of the secretary
OF state to submit this matter to q
general vote at the coming election
was bitterly contested dlring the
last session of the legislature, but
the friends of wOmen's suffrage won

will be settled for many years to
come at the coming general election

MEDFORD PEARS DEAR
Eastern Shipments Bring Good Pri-
ces for Carloads.

Medford, Ore, Sept. 20-One hun
dred and forty-one cars of Bartlett
and other early pears have been
shipped from Medford up to date.
The average price received has
ranged from $2.40 a box to $3.50,
which is the price that John G. Gore
received for a car of Bartletts in
Chicago.
This price beat by 81 cents the
returns that the Burrell orchard re-
ceived at New York earlier in the
season for a car, which for a time
held the blue ribbon as to banner
prices of the year. Of the cars that
were shipped from Medford the
Rogue River Fruit and Produce as
ISOLATION shipped rs, the Burrell or
chard AS, John G. Gore IL, Hill Crest
IS, Bear Creek Z, Hall and Allen 2.
John Cores prices averaged $40
box, those of the Burrell orchard
$2.55 each, those shipped by the
Rogue River Fruit and Produce COM
bany $3.50 each and the Bear Creek
orchard sass 1-2 per box.
1t costs growers from 20 cents to
81 to ship and market and about so
cents to produce box of pears.
The prices this year were lower
than last year because the crop was
two weeks earlier in ripening and
was thus thrown into the market be-
fore the California season was over.
Comice, Howells and dAnjou pears
are now being shipped. The Rose
and Winter Nellis are yet to be
picked.

STEAD PASSES ON TERMS
OF NEW PRIMARY ACT
Attorney General Explains How Can
didate Should Head His
Petition.

Springfield, Ill, March 2S.-Respond-
ing to a request of City Attorney Per
ny l.. Persons of Waukegan, who sew
eral days ago asked his opinion on
the form in which the caption of pc
tition filed by candidate for nomina-
ton for a county Office should read,
Attorney General Stead has defined
the reading of the primary election
law of 1910 on the subject. The spe-
cific question asked was whether the
first line should read ELECTORS, etc,
in the town of Waukegan, in the
county of Lake, etc." in petitions flied
by candidates seeking county Office
nominations. The opinion given by
the attorney general sets forth that
it is sufficient that the line read,
Electors of said republican party in
the county of Lake, etc.
The opinion defines that in the cap
ton only the political unit in which
the candidate is seeking nomination
need be named. If, however, all the
names to a petition of a candidate
seeking a county Office nomination
should happen to be within the cor
porate limits of some one city or town
of the county, the caption would read,
Electors, etc, IN the (city or town.
of -- in the county of -- etc"
