STRIPPING GOLD COINS

NEW YoK, July 25.-scret service agents
who have been at work In the Maiden Lane
jewelry district have found a new sort Of coin
stripping, by which gold is obtained from
coins and sold. the coins being put back into
circulation, apparently as god as ever. The
new process consists in placing the coins in a
burlap bag, which is shaken vigorously. Thus,
tiny flakes Of metal are knocked off the Gains
and cling to the bag, which is then burned

The treasury department at Washington has
been getting back Of late large quantities OF
Gains which seemed more scratched and bat

handled with strange violence. Special agents
were sent her to invstigat and soon uncov-

Government Attorneys Announce
Ready For Trial and Urge That
Jury to Try the Cases Be Selected
Immediately.

McAlester, Okla, Sept. 26.-The
trial of Governor c. n. Haskell In
the Muskogee town lot cases began
here today before Federal Judge
John A. Marshall OF Salt Lake City.
United States Attorney William
J. Gregg announced that the gov
ernment was ready and urged that
a jury be selected at once.
The indictments charge Governor
Haskell and five other business
men OF Muskogee, Messrs. Eaton,
Hutchings, Turner, English and Sc
vers with having defrauded the gov
ernment by the disposal of six hun
dred town lots sold by the govern
ment in 1902 for the Creek Indians
BY falsely swearing, it is alleged
they were able to procure the 900
lots. when the rules allowed only
two lots to be sold TO each person
1t is generally believed that the
defense will file demurrer TO the
indictment against Governor Has
kell, Walter Eaton and c. w. Tur'
ner, on the ground that the statute
Of limitations has operated against
the last overt act alleged in such
indictment. In their argument, the
defendants counsel will use q de
cision in the case of Lonabaugh VS..
United States, decided in the
eighth circuit court. The government
counsel, on the other hand, will
contend that the quit claim deeds,
conveying the property to the al
legged conspirators, governs in these
cases, and not the date of patents
to the dummy heduies of the town
lots.
All OF the defenC ants are here.

COTTON TARIFF
GETS ROASTING
SAYS CLIQUE OF COTTON MAN
UFACTURERS WROTE SCHED-

Boston, Mass, Sept. 25.-Walter
C. Langshaw, of New Bedford, one
OF the most prominent individual
cotton manufacturers in the United
States, employing 1000 operatives
today made public his views on the
so-called Payne-Aldrich tariff act. He
characterizes the cotton goods tariff
as a conspiracy of ring of cotton
manufacturers and that coterie
OF Boston men, aided by represent
atives OF the Arkwright Club and the
cotton manufacturers wrote the cot
ton schedule of the new tariff.
In making up the cotton schedule
of the tariff, increases were writ
ten into the law which were not de
sired by the manufacturers who
produce the raw unbleached and
imprinted or uncolored goods.
Not only should the duties on
cotton goods not have been increas-
ed" says Mr.. Langshaw, but they
should be gradually reduced. No mule
spinning machinery is manufactured
in this country, yet It is protected
by duty of 80 per cent. Combin.
lining machinery, which is lnanufac.
tured by only one company in oniy
limited quantities, is also subject to
duty OF SO per cent"
He declares that the cotton IN.
dustry was the goat for the
increased tariff on other commodi-
ties, including rubber" Here is an
instance in fancy black muslin" says
Mr.. Langshaw. Nearly every house
wife uses it. It's value is 13 1-2c a
square yard. The new tariff is
per cent against 80 per cent under
the Dingley law. A few men have a
virtual monopoly of the manufacture
of these fancy colored muslin.

of wilful murder against Doctor Grip

a mutilated body, supposed 10 be
Crippens wife, Belle Elmore.
In summing up the case this after
noon, the coroner said that the evil

but that little doubt existed that the
remains were human.
Although the physicians frankly
stated that they could not tell the sex,
they pointed out that Belle Elmore
had completely disappeared and that a
body was found in her husbands cell

the coroner concluded, was the tes-
