MANAGER SMITH IS
HOME FROM THE EAST
RUMORS OF SALE OF TOWNSHIP
INTERESTS ARE WITHOUT
MAKES BUSINESS DULL.

General Manager Arthur Smith of
the Ely Securities company, who has
been in New York the past month. re-
turned to East Ely Wednesday even
ing, having concluded his conference
with the various officials whose inter
ests he represents in this district.
Mr.. Smith reports business affairs
in the metropolis and throughout the
east as inclined to be quiet at the
present time owing largely to the un-
certainties that always prevail during
the progress of campaign in which
national legislation is likely to be af-
fected.
Asked as to the reported sale of
the Gunn-Thompson interests in this
district to the Cole-Ryan people. Mr..
Smith emphatically declared there
was no foundation for the rumor so
far as his knowledge of the affairs of
the company are concerned. The
news of the transaction was commu-
nicated TO him from this point of the
compass and he places no confidence
in the reliability of the reports.

extremely pleasant affair and while
the number present was not as large
as usual. yet the hall was comfortably
filled. The dance at Star Pointer Fri

two consecutive nights on the ball

JOHN DE LANCEY
MAKES NO APPEAL
District Attorney Quashes Seven
Other Indictments Against
Convicted Lawyer

OAKLAND, July Seven indict-
filents, accusing John S. de, Lancey, for
mer attorney. for former Public Ad-
ministrator George Gray, of embez-
element were dismissed today by Judge
Ellsworth on motion of District Attor-
ney Donahue. No further proceedings
viii be taken against De Lancey, who
is now serving a six year sentence in
the penitentiary for embezzling $4,000
from the estate of the late George Hite
Cook.
At the time of De Lancey's corvic-
tion and sentence, 1t was agreed by the
district attorney that sufficient punish
ment had been meted out to him. and,
although eight indictments in all had
been returned by the grand jury, there
was no intention to prosecute him on
any of the others. De Lancey spoke of
appealing. however. and as a club over
his head the other indictments were
held. Had he appealed he would have
been forced to trial on another of the
indictments.
The time for taking an appeal. fixed
by law at six months, has now elapsed
since De Lancey's sentence, and he is
barred from taking exception to his
trial and sentence and must serve his
term. He changed his mind about ap-
pealing when he undeystood that If he
did he would have to face other
charges, especially as his attorneys told
him that he would have little chance

FLOUR BLEACHING
CASE GOES TO JURY
Defense Charges Suit Is Fight
of Northwestern MiIlers
Against Competitors

KANSAS CITY Mo-, July 5.-The
bleached flour case in the federal court
here went to the jury at 6 o'clock this
evening When at $3.50 verdict had
not been reached, Judge Mcpherson al
lowed the jury to go home. Delbera-
tions will be resumed at 9 o'clock to-
morrow morning.
In Judge McPhersons chambers to-
night Judge L. E. Scarritt, one of the
attorneys for the defense, took ex-
ceptions to Judge McPherson's in
structions to the Jury on the ground
that all the issues in the case had not
been submitted.
Other statements were made charg-
ing that the whole case is merely a
fight of the northwestern millers
against the miilers of the southwest.
Judge Mcpherson. in his charge to
the jury, said that il was stated in the
governments petition that on April
!, 1910. the Lexington mill and elevator
company of Lexington, Neb., shipped
to B. Q. Terry, grocer at Castle, Mo-,
625 sacks of -four. 1t was charged
that the -four had been treated by the
Alsop process of bleaching, which con-
sists of the generation of nitrogen Pc
roxide gas by electricity.
Judge Mcpherson said that the gov
ernment charged that this process
adulterates the flour. because nitrites
and nitrite reacting material are mixed
with the -four; also because the gluten
was impaired so as to injuriously af-
feet the bread making qualities of the
flour. and because the bleaching pro-
cealed the inferiority of the -four.
Judge Mcpherson said that the de-
PENDANTS in their answer admit that
the -four was bleached by the Alsop
process. but deny that 1t was adulter-
ated or misbranded

.FREEHOLDERS TO
BE chosen TODAY
Progressives Seek to Defeat
Charter Convention Men
at the Election

OAKLAND. July 5.-BoOths have been
fitted and ballots distributed to the OIL
GERS who will preside tomorrow at the
election OF freeholders to frame new
city charter The contest is even
auieter than was the campaign preeed-
ing the. primary election to choose can
didates. which took place June H.
one man was eliminated from the
ballots by the primaries. Joseph Smart
candidate on the charter convention
ticket, got no nomination by either
republican or democratic party. w a.
Dow and r. H. Chamberlain. both
charter conventionites. were nominated
on the republican ticket. and Cham
berlain also got democratic nomIna-
tion.
ATTACK CONCENTRATED
In consequence of this turn at the
primaries Dow and Chamberlain are
the center of fire on the charter con-
yention ticket. Adherents OF the cltl-
zens' progressive ticket, which with
the two exceptions noted took the en-
tire republican ticket, have concen-
trated the attack on Dow and Cham
berlain. to elect in their stead John j.
Mcdonald and Dennis ). Mccarthy,
democrats. who ran on the progressive
ticket at the primary and who received
democratic nominations
The democratic ballot looks like a
charter convection ticket Largely IL
is so. but five men who were nominated
by both democrats and republicans ran
en- both the charter convention and
progressive tickets. These were Dr.
George C. Pardee, /. Harrison Clay,
John Forrest. Albert III. Elliot and Wiz
liam c. Clark. Though these fve were
selected by the charter convention
ticket, they were readily accepted by
the progressive element and so far as
political following goes have a better
right to call themselves progressive
candidates than charter convention.
They have always affiliated with the
municipal administration and with the
union labor people allied in the sup
port of the progressive ticket.
SITUATION UNIQUE
The situation confronting the voter
tomorrow is unique. The democratic
ticket may be taken to be the charter
Convention ticket, yet two of the char
ter convention candidates stand as re-
publicans On the contrary, the pro-
gressive ticket captured the republican
nominations handily,- but the two pro-
gressive democrats, Mcdonald and Nc
Carthy, were nominated by the demo-
Gratis. 1t is as if Dow and Chamber
lain had traded places with Mcdonald
| and Mccarthy. If the progressive
ticket polls tomorrow the vote proper
I tionately that it received at the prl-
maries the freeholders elected will be
all progressive, 13 republicans and the
