TREASURY WILL
 HAVE BIC SURPLUS Total Will Be Twenty-Five MilliQn-Largest Since
 Year of 1901

Washington, June 27.-The United States treasury will have surplus of approxi- mately S25o0000O when the fiscal year of 1911 ends Saturday. The fiscal year Of 1910 closed with a surplus of $15, ,0OO.00o This years showing will be the best since 1991 when a surplus seldom equalled, Sl1l,000,000 was shown. Both 1908 and 1909 showed deficits of $2000O. GOO and s5S,- 000000, respectively.
 Treasury officials believe final figures will show the government during the year just closing has received more than it estimated and spent just a little less than it planned
 Total receipts from all sources are ex- nected total approximately S6S7, o00O. They were estimated at $67S, 900, GOO. Total expenditures. not including the Panama canal will be about S6G0 O00.0O0 The treas ury expected to spend $662, 100000
 The years work on the canal will cost approximately s4o.o0O0O0. All of this was advanced out of the governments ready cash and will be replaced from the pro- ceeds of the $50,00o000 bond sale, which will begin to flow into the treasury about July IS.
 Corporation tax receipts, which were being depended upon to contribute large ly to a surplus, probably will not be re- ceived as promptly as was expected.
 Treasury officials expect that fully Si5 . 00O,000, or half the estimated receipts from the tax, will not be forthcoming until July To-

LONDON'S BIZ SHOW
 IS NOT YET ENDED

London, June 27.-The principal coro- nation festivities are nearing an end, but subsidiary functions and social en- tertainments are still sufficiently nu- merous and important to keep London In constant state of effervescence.
 While in one section of the city an army of workmen is busy removing dec- orations and stands, in another section many are employed erecting new arches and stringing bunting to do honor to their majesties on the next royal prog ress on Thursday. The same precautions in the shape of gates are being taken as on the route of the former processons, although this affair will be of minor im- portance. London Is more or less in a holiday mood and the streets are filled with idlers and visitors. Very noticeable Is the rush of Americans not only from the United States by every incoming steamer, but also from the continent demonstrating that they purposely kept away during the coronation to circum- vent eXtortionate demands.

LOWELL LOSES THE
 FIRST COTTON CASE
Trustees for Knight Yancey Cannot Hold Cotton At
 New Orleans

New Orleans, June 27.--W. S. Lowell trustee for the bankrupt cotton firm of Knight, Yancey & Co.,, today lost the suit filed in the federal court against Isadore Newman & Son for the pos session of 400 bales of cotton which were delivered to the Southern railway In March and April last year for ship ment to European spinners.
 In the testimony in this case heard before Judge Rufus Foster, in the Uni ted States circuit court, 1t was shown that Knight. Yancey & Co.,. after sell ing 14o0 bales of cotton to European spinners, received payment for same on drafts attached to 13 forged bills of lading. Later the cotton was delivered to the railroad company for shipment and the genuine bills of lading were suppressed. The court held that Knight Yancey & Co. by suppressing the gen uine bills of 1ading gave evidence of their intention to allow the pur- chasers to claim the cotton on the false bills and the cotton therefore passed from their possession absolutely

MRS. M 'MAN|GAL IS WANTED AS WITNESS Attorneys for Defense Ac- cuse Detectives of Hound
 ing the Woman

Los Angeles, June 27.-Representa tives of the prosecution In the Los Angeles Times dynamiting case today confronted Mrs. Ortie D. McManigal with her husband, one of the accused conspirators, in an ante-room of the grand jury chamber. Her overwrought nerves gave way before their plead ings and she swooned.
 McManigal, it was said. had been taken from jail to plead with his wife to be a witness for the prosecution in stead of the defense, after she had persisted in refusing to answer ques- tions put to her before the grand jury
 When she emerged hysterical from the grand jury room, Attorney Joseph Scott, an assistant of Clarence s. Dar- row in the defense of the McNamara brothers, rushed among the detectives surrounding her and with clenched fists swept the officers aside with threats of violence if they did not cease "hounding this woman"
 Later when Mrs. McManigal and her attorneys reached the street and de- parted in an automobile, another mia chine, occupied by three private detec- tives, followed.
 The detectives admitted they are mak ing every attempt to win, Mrs. Mc- Manigal to the side of the prosecution and that they have taken an apartment next door to the one she occupies so as to note her every movement.

FALLS FROM THE
 TWENTIETH STORY Eustice Stopped at Eigh- teenth, Though, Thanks
 to Hero

Chicago, June 7.-one of the human flies whose agility and lack of nerves make skyserapers possible, lost his bal ance today and toppled from the twentieth story, of the new Heisen. buildings -s.. g. ( Ordinarily the foregoing statement would complete the story, but not so in fhe case of Patrick Eustice, for there was a hero at hand in the person of John Murray, and Eustice probably will be at work again tomorrow. The latter toppled from beam just as scores of other struc- tural iron workers have done, and some of his companions did not even turn their heads to see the mangled form which their minds conjured up as lying on the pavement below
 Murray was working on the nineteenth floor and saw Eustice fall. He reached far and grasped the falling man by his tough workingman's blouse He was not able to hold the weight, but gave the de- scending body swing inward and the latter landed on the eighteenth floor on a pair of cross beams
 He was bruised. but that was all. Mur- ray looked down, saw that all was well, and resumed rivetinE.

SAYS PUBLISHERS
 ARE WITHIN LAW President Houston of Peri Odical Clearing House
 Talks of Suit

New York, June 27.-Herbert s. Houston, president of the Periodical Clearing house, in discussing the gov ernment suit. said tonight
 "If the clearing house is an unlaw- full organization l am sure every mem Der of it will wish to have if dissolved at once. At no time has there been any disposition to withhold either from the government or the public any fact about its operations. It Is merely an association of periodical publishers formed to aid in maintaining fair and equitable conditions among the sub scr.ption agencies.
 "A year ago, We asked the depart ment of justice in Washington, through our attorney, Frederick R. Kellog, to examine our contracts and plans and this was done by an attorney from the department: and we received assurances that we were transgressing no law either in letter or in spirit Certainly no greater care could have been taken by any body of citizens than was taken by the publishers to see that everything done should be wholly within the law, and we believe that everything has been within the law"

SEES BOOK IS LIKE THE MORMON BIBLE Mona Rees Concludes Testi- mOny, But Prosecutor Is
 Not Satisfied

Chicago, June 27-It was said at the state attorneys office today that a re- markable similarity has been discovered between the Golden Bible" of the Mor- mon church and certain passages of the Book of Truth which figures largely in the trial of Evelyn Arthur See.
 Tn the Golden Bible,' which Joseph Smith claimed to have deciphered from plates of gold revealed to him, Smith ire quently speaks of free women and men In the strain which seems to have been closely copied by See," said Prosecutor Burnham "rhe men we have had mak- ing comparisons tell me that large por- tions of Sees book were taken yer batim or almost so from the Mormon book.
 Mona Rees concluded her testimony. Throughout the day the prosecutor was unable to get answers from the witness satisfactory to himself. Miss Rees re- peatedly took refuge in her constitutional right not to incriminate herself, or by answering with quotations from the Book of Truth
 That purifying meetings which Sees converts would be purged of their sense of shame were held at Sees fiat was admitted by the witness.
 Isn't 1t fact that in purifying his converts of their sense of shame that the subjects would be divested of their cloth ing?'
 On advice of Attorney Newell, Miss Rees refused to answer.
 At the conclusion of this testimony Police Captain Danner and several news paper men were placed on the stand. Captain Banner stated that Miss Rees at first denied any illegality in her relations with See, but that later she confessed in the presence of himself and several news paper men.
 The reporters corroborated Danner.
