r. G. Dun s Co.'S weekly review of
Chicago trade says:
While the volume of payments
through the banks presents another
unfavorable comparison, the record of
trading defaults makes good exhibit
and business generally settles down I'd
the calm usually preceding the har1
week was the warm weather and its
immediate salutary effect upon the
leading retail lines here and at the
interior. Seasonaele goods have been
urgently bought and stocks of ap1
parel and other merchandise now uni
dergo gratifying reductions, Heavy
movements also appear in grain, hides

Country merchants express confi1
dence in prospects of large sales I'M
the fall and purchase literally. The
only drawback is uncertainty as to-
probable course of prices for the tex
tiles, The attendance of buyers here
compares favorably with this time last
year.
Mail and road orders equal expec1
tations in dry goods, clothing, millin1
cry, mems and house furnishings,
Rates for commercial paper show
no change, but money bears an easier
feeling and deposits increase moder-
ately. The markets for bonds and local
securities reflect conservative invest
ment, and there is also a smaller vol
ume of new building permits.

In a report on Medical Education
the United States" just out, from
The Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
yancement of Teaching, Abraham
Flexner reflects seriously on the edu-
,ational standards of a large number
Of American medical colleges. He sa:'s
hat the entrance requireme hts are
generally too low and that there has
,een for years a great production
If unframed doctors, due to the exist
ance of numerous proprietary schools
commercially managed and depende It
IN fees for support, and that the rela-
ion of the schools to the hospitals is
Ill wrong, all of which is officially in
iorsed by President Pritchett of .he
Foundation. According to this report,
he country is supporting three or four
lines as many doctors as it needs,
Mostly of this inferior quality; that the
schools are producing two or three
lines as many as can be assimilated;
hat instead of the 1855 schools now sx-
sting, one-fifth of that number would
)etter serve the public if properly con-
iucted and distributed. Names of the
it and unfit colleges in various cities
ire given publicity in the report.

BROWNE PROSECUTION CLOSES.
Summary of Evidence Introduced to
Support Bribery Charges.

AS an unexpected climax to the most
dramatic session of court since the be-
ginning of the Browne bribery trial in
Chicago-a session fairly crammed
with tense States Attor-
ney Wayman the other day announced
that the prosecution had completed its
case.
The entire days session had been
one succession of victories for the
State in the tangle of legal technicali-
ties that were injected into the trial
by Representative Lee O'Neil Brownies
lawyers
The evidence introduced to support
the charges of bribery against Browne
may be summed up as follows:
Representative Charles A. Whites
story told of three payments. the last
of which was $3.50, given him at the
Briggs House, amounting to $1,000,
which Browne made to him to vote
for Lorimer.
Representative II. J. c. Beckemeyer
told of a similar cash payment, but
said that there was no previous under
standing.
Representative Link told that he re-
.ceived $1,000 Of "Lorimer MONEY" but
without previous agreement.
The register of the Southern Hotel,
st. Louis, was introduced to prove that
Browne was there on the date named
by White.
References to the Jack pot" corrup-
tion fund declared to have been dis
tributed by Representative Wilson at
the Southern Hotel were made in the
presence of the jury three times, but
were stricken from the records.

BIG PRIZE FIGHT FORBIDDEN.
Jeffries and johnson Not to "Scrap"
in San Francisco.

Governor James N. Gillett, of Cali
fornia, has directed Attorney General
U. S. Webb to take whatever action
may be necessary to stop the fight be-
tween James ]. Jeffries and Jack John
son for the heavyweight championship
OF the world, which is scheduled to be
fought in San Francisco July 4.
The Governor was impelled to issue
this order by pressure from Washing
ton. San Francisco is attempting to
secure national legislation in favor of
the Panama-Pacific Exposition. 1t has
been directly intimated to the big in
terests of California that the proposed
Jeffries-Johnson fight is standing in
the way of such legislation.
Il am running San Francisco l am
taking no order from Gillett or his
Attorney General. You can bet your
last dollar that the big fight will be
pulled off in my town just as adver-
tised." Mayor Pat Mccarthy, of San
Francisco, skipping from depot to de-
pot to catch a Pacific coast bound fly
er. delivered this ultimatum in Chicago.

STATEHOOD BILL PASSES SENATE
Action Insures Admission of Arizona
and New Mexico Union.


Two more stars, making forty-eight
in all, will be added to the American
flag as result of the action of the
United States Senate in unanimously
passing the bill granting statehood to
Arizona and New Mexico.
The House having already acted, the
measure went to a conference commit
tee, which will arrange the differences
in the two measures adopted, and sub
nit for the approval of Congress and
the President the act under which the
territories will be admitted into the
Union.
The Democrats had feared the Re
publicans would endeavor to postpone
the report of the committee, thus kill
ing statehood for this session. But
they received positive assurances that
delay would not be attempted and that
Congress would not adjourn without
action.
Thus has ended VIGOROUSLY strug-
gle of years on the part of Arizona and
New Mexico to be admitted as separate
States. United, they could nsNe re-
ceived statehood at the time this high
privilege was accorded to Oklahoma.
But the Arizonians objected to amalga-
nation with the New Mexicans and
strenucusly opposed the plan.
The terms upon which the grant is
made may not meet with the full ap-
prevail of the residents of the terri
tories. They may feel that onerous
conditions have been imposed in some
respects, but there is not the slightest
doubt but that they will accept them
and lose no time in qualifying for the
improved status which has been Of
fered.

Chicago Trader and Seven Others
Held for Conspiracy.


Held for Conspiracy.
James A. Patten and seven others
were indicted in New York by special
Federal grand jury, charged with con-
spiracy in restraint of trade under the
Sherman antitrust law. This is the
first fruit of the governments attempt
to prove that manipulating the cotton
market is against the law. 1t is alleged

for the purpose of cornering and arbi-
trarily fixing the price of cotton. Those
indicted are: James A. Patten, Eugene
B. Scales, Frank B. Hayne, William
p Brown, NJ. H. Rothschild, Sydney j.
Herman, Robert NJ. Thompson, Charles
A. Kittle.
The first five gave bail of $1,000, as
required, through counsel. For The
other three, who were neither present
in court nor represented by lawyers,
bench warrants were issued.
Patten has been known for years as
a corn and wheat Spectator, and more
latterly as the cotton king" Frank
B. Hayne and William P. Brown are
we'll known cotton operators of New
Orleans and Eugene B. Scales is a
leader in the same line in Texas.
