HELD FOR SHOOTING
OF ". {. D. Stokes
Misses Conrad and Graham
Bound Over to Grand Jury.

New York, July 12.-Ethel Conrad
and Lillian Graham, who on June 6
shot w. E. ID. Stokes, the millionaire
hotel man, in their apartment, were
held in $4,000 bail for the grand jury
on charge of felonious assault.
Magistrate Freschi, in deciding to
hold the two girls for the grand jury,
stated that he would ignore the ele-
ment of scandal in the case. He said a
prima facie case had been made out
and that no defense had been offered,
and therefore there was nothing left
for him to do but to hold the young
women.
Robert W. Moore, of counsel for the
girls, had expected the case to go to
the grand jury and. for this reason re-
fused to put either of his clients on
the stand, but contented himself with
trying to show that Stokes went to
the apartments of the young women
to get possession of certain letters
and that the girls shot in self-defense.

THIRTY STEERS ON RAMPAGE
Dash Madly Through Chicago Down
town Streets.

Chicago, July 12.-Thirty long
horned Texas steers stampeded at
West Fortieth and Morgan streets
and ran madly for more than a mile
through busy streets. Pedestrians
scampered from the path of the ami
mails and the excited cattle almost
had clear right of way.
One man was not quick enough to
escape the frenzied cattle and his
scalp was ripped open by the horn OF
one of the herd.
Three of the steers were killed dur
ing the stampede, two being run down
by locomotives and third by street
car.
When il was realized that the wild
cattle had got beyond control two
cowboys on bronchos dashed along
the streets warning pedestrians to get
out of the way.
A dozen cowboys finally rounded up
the herd.

CROPS SUFFERING IN

Drouth Still Prevails in Certain
Sections.

Washington, July 12.-Continued
high temperature, causing hundreds
of deaths and much suffering to both
human and animal life, together with
further general deficiency in pre-
cipitation, marked the weather of the
week over most of the districts east
of the Rocky mountains, says the ma
tional weekly weather bulletin of the
weather bureau.
In the corn growing states west OF
the Mississippi some good rains oc.
Cured in the more western portions,
but the first part of the week was in
tensely hot In Iowa and Missouri the
severe heat, with a very general abb
sence of rainfall, intensified the drouth
conditions already prevailing, and
similar conditions existed in portions
of South Dakota, although the tempera.
lures there were more moderate.
In the corn growing states east OF
the Mississippi high temperatures
continued, there was general lack OF
sufficient rainfall and drouth condi'
tions are prevailing In many portions
of those states.
In the states of the spring wheat
belt the temperatures were more mod
crate, especially over the western por-
tions, but precipitation was deficient
in many sections, especially in the
west portions of the Dakotas and
over Eastern Montana where rain is
badly needed.

SUTHERLAND
| SCORES RECALL
Opposes Approval Of .Ari-
zOna Constitution.


Says People as a Whole Have Neither
the Inclination, the Specialized
Training Nor the Time Requisite to
Enable Them to Master the Details
Necessary TO Discharge the Duties
Proposed.
Washington, July 12.--To an "am-
liable band of insurgents and soothsay-
ers" all efforts in behalf of the initia-
tive, referendum and recall provisions
of the Arizona constitution We're
traced by Senator Sutherland of Utah.
He addressed the senate in opposition
to the approval of that instrument He
was especially severe in his denuncia-
ton of the inclusion of the members
of the judiciary in the recall.
Accepting the application of the ref
erendum principle as wise where it ap-
plies to such general enactments as a
state constitution, Mr.. Sutherland con-
tended that the general public never
would give sufficient time to general
legislation to pass intelligently upon
it. What be objected to in the refer.
eudum was not it's historical applica.
ton, but it's historical extension.
THE people as a whole" he said
have neither the inclination, the spe.
cialized training, nor the time requi
site to enable them to master the
thousand and one details necessary
to qualify them TO discharge wisely
the functions of ordinary legislation.
Says Taxpayers Are Disguised.
He said that where recently thirteen
proposed laws had been submitted to
the people of South Dakota, all had
been voted down in disgust owing to
the tax imposed upon the electors.
Applying to the initiative all the OBJ
jections attaching to the referendum
he declared the proposed Arizona sys
tenn to be especially Objectionable.
Under the initiative as thus pro
vided, proposed laws" said the sena
tor, viii, or course, frequently Df
drafted by a coterie or clique of inter
ested persons, perhaps all of one way
of thinking. 1t will not be considered
and debated in public as Legislative
enactments are; there will be little, i
any, opportunity for the consideration
of opposing views in framing the law
The power of compromise, which is {
necessity in the making of laws, will
be wholly absent, The chances are al
in. favor of the adoption of more un
wise laws than ever will get through
our legislature"
Mr., Sutherland's main opposition tt
the recall principle was with reference
to the judiciary, included in the Ari
zona constitution.

ALL AMENDMENTS DEFEATED
Canadian Reciprocity 4i!! Appears
Nearer Passage.

Washington, July 1.-THE Cana
dian reciprocity bill emerged un-
scathed from the most serious ordeal
1t has yet experienced in the senate.
The series of amendments offered by
Senator Cummins of Iowa and the two
offered by Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, all seeking to increase the
number of Canadian manufactured
articles that shall be admitted to the
United States free of duty, were voted
down by large majorities.
The defeat of the Cummins amend
ments clears the situation in the SEN
ate and leaves the reciprocity bill
much nearer final passage.

statement issued from the offices of +.
H. Peavey & Co, the parent of a
dozen subsidiaries, which is the own
er of the stock of the Peavey Grain
company
The following statement was issued
from the Minneapolis Office after a
conference with representatives of
Minneapolis and Chicago banks and
commercial paper houses of Chicago
holding notes floated by Mr.. Petit in
the name of Peavey Grain company:
''On Saturday afternoon, July s, fol-
lowing the death of James Petit. a
representative of f. H. Peavey & Co,
who had been sent to Chicago to as
sist in the Office of the Peavey Grain
company during Mr. Pettit's illness,
discovered that certain unauthorized
and concealed speculations had been
going on in the business, which, sub
sequent investigation proved, will re-
suit in a shortage of approximately
$1,000,000
''Mr. Petit, general manager of the
business, has apparently in no way
profted by these speculations, and
they were carried on absolutely con-
trary to the instructions and without
knowledge of F. Fl. Peavey e Co., and
in direct violation of the we'll known
policy of the Peavey company
Bankers Called in Conference.
Immediately after the notification
of Mr.. Pettit's death, Mr.. Heffelfnger
and Mr.. Wells, president and vice
president of f. III. Peavey & Co., went
to Chicago, and upon arrival were in
formed of Irregularities then discov-

"They called in the officers of those
banks with which the Peavey Grain
company did business and laid before
them the existing conditions.
Sunday the Minneapolis bankers of
F. III. Peavey & Co. were called to-
gether and advised of the develop
ments in the Chicago office, and this
morning these bankers, together with
the representatives of several Chca-
go banks, met in Minneapolis to ad-
wise as to the situation"
Just what condition the Peavey
Grain company is in the officials at
Minneapolis will not say. Another
statement will be issued later Wheth-
er F. H. Peavey & Co. will stand the
losses entailed by the speculation of
Mr. Petit is also uncertain. Mr..
Wells explained that this may follow,
but he is not able to say.

Wells, that neither F. H. Peavey &
Co. nor any of its subsidiaries is di.
rectly affected in this matter. F. III
Peavey & Co. is holding corporation,
founded to hold together the Peavey
estate interests. The company never
deals in grain and in fact the only
brokerage business we ever did was
through the Chicago house of which
Mr.. Petit was in charge"

PRESIDENT TAFT PLEASED WITH
PROGRAM FOR HIS VISIT HERE

Following is the Mankato Taft
day program that was submitted to
the president through his secretary,
Charles ID. Hilles, and it has been
approved:
Mankato Mimi, Sept. 26, 1911.-
Hon. Chas. ID. Hilles, Secretary to
the President, Ft. Dodge, la. My
Dear Sir: | submit herewith the
program adopted by our general
committee of arrangements last
evening with reference to the visit
OF the president, October "a.
At 1890 a. m. Arrival of the
train and drive about the city. The
route of the drive will pass the
state normal school and the high
school buildings which are adjacent
to each other and the committee
will be pleased if the president will
be willing to give five minute adj
dress from his carriage to the stu
dents of these two schools. The.
drive will conclude at the place Sc
lected for the presidents address.
At 1870 a. m. The capacity of
our opera house, the largest audi
torium which we have, is about
1000. 1t is probable that there will
be a very large number of people
in the city on the day of the presi-
dents visit and the committee
would like very much to have the
president speak out of doors if the
weather is fine and in the opera
house if the weather is inclement.
At 1890 p. m. AT the conclusion
of the address the president will be
driven to the Elks' club where he
will be the guest of the Mankato
Commercial club at luncheon. There
will be no speaking unless the pres
ident is willing to make a few re-
marks and if he is agreeable to
doing so, it will be much appreci-
ated by the club. After the luncheon,
the president will be driven to the
train.
The program above submitted is
practically the same as the tenta-
tive program. originally outlined ex-
cept for a few details.
