The Bemidji VOLUME 4. NUMBER 78 After Inventory SALE! all this week FEDERAL COURT DECIDES OIL MAGNATE NOT ENTITLED TO ALL PROFITS IN DEAL. PLAINTIFF ASKED FOR $3,000,000 S8ECURES ONE-HALF OF RAKEOFF IN CONNECTION WITH SALE OF GAS COMPANIES, 0’Leary & Bowser Boston, July 19.—A decision favor- able to the plaintiff was handed down m the United States circuit court in the case of George W. Pepper, receiver of the Bay State Gas company of Dela- ware, against Henry H. Rogers of New York in the suit to recover $3, 000,000 alleged to be due the gas com- pany in connection with the sale of { the Boston companies. The court orders that the profits shall be apportioned by a master be- tween Mr. Rogers and the Bay State Gas company of Delaware, but if no definite equitable rule is ascertained then the amount shall be apportioned half to Mr. Rogers and half to the gas company. The court finds that Mr. Rogers was guilty of no fraud. It also finds that he was guilty of no breach of trust so far as the making of con- tracts is concerned. The court holds that the position occupied by Rogers was not that of a trustee holding a mere naked trust, but that he had Full Control and Management of the Boston Gas companies, acting with the full consent of his co-trus- tees, and that he was liable to account for gains and profits received by him alone for his sole benefit. The court holds that there was in fact an active trust of the kind alleged by the com- plainant and that the relations of Rogers to the trust were of such a character as to afford an opportunity of securing the gains and profits al- leged by the bill, provided the New England Gas and Coke company or the men interested in it were willing to assent to an arrangement out of which the gains and profits could be derived. Mr. Rogers contended that his control of the Brookline Gas com- pany gave him a command of the gas situation and a strategic position of value, but the court finds that as a trustee of the other companies he had N .

PUTE OVER SELECTION OF HIS ATTORNEYS, New York, July 19.—Justice McLean has adjourned for a day the hearing on the writ of injunction obtained Tuesday by counsel for Hafry K. Thaw to prevent District Attorney Jerome and the grand jury from examining further witnesses In the Thaw mur- der case. The court had/ordered the district attorney to show cause why the writ of prohibition should not be made permanent and the hearing was to have decided whether or not it should continue in force. Thaw spent a restless ‘night in the Tombs and showed marked irritation and nervousness. It is believed what he had read in the newspapers of the conflict of counsel—thosg retained by his mother and those retained by him- self for personal reasons—had upset him. Clifford W. Hartrijge, the law- yer Thaw retained after discontinuing the services of Willlam EI Olcott, was in consultation with Tha' for an hour. Contrary to her custom;Thaw’s wife remained with him only a few min- utes. She usually remains an hour. The prisoner’s mother, Mrs. William Thaw, accompanied by his sister, Mrs, George L. Carnegle, visited Thaw at the Tombs again. The prisoner seemed very glad to meet them both and a very affecting scene took place. Mrs. Thaw and Mis. Carnegle re- mained at Harry Thaw's cell as long as the prison rules permitted. It was reported about the Tombs after she left that Mrs. Thaw reproached her son for dismissing Mr. Olcott and in- sisted that he should continue to act as Thaw’s counsel and that a stormy interview resulted, in which Thaw maintained that he had acted wisely in the dismissal.

Kansas City, July 19.—In the ice investigation here attorneys for the ice companies composing the alleged trust offered to admit that the Van- derslice-Lynds Ice company raised the price on April 1 and again on May 1 to all purchasers except the People’s Ice and Fuel company.

Mr. Munoz, the Guatemalan minis- ter, called at the state department and announced that he had been advised by his government of the selection of three commissioners and a secretary to represent Guatemala at the peace conference. They will go to San Jose, Guatemala, in time to board the Mar- blehead on its arrival there. The state department has not been advised that fighting has actually ceased, but the American minister to Salvador, Mr. Merry, and the Amer- fcan charge at Guatemala City both sent dispatches to the department ‘which announce the agreement of both Salvador and Guatemala to stop fight- ing. So far the state department and Central American diplomatists in ‘Washington have no advices which in- dicate the terms upon which the re- publics involved are willing to accept peace. All efforts so far have heen devoted to the preliminary arrange- ments for the conference and as the United States is in no sense a party to the negotiations the state depart- ment has few details concerning the grievances of the warring republics.

San Salvador, July 19.—Shortly be- fore the armistice was agreed to over 10,000 Guatemalan soldiers made a desperate attack on the Salvadorean positions by way of Metapaha.

ANALYZE AMERICAN GOODS. Britons Find Nothing to Bear Out the Recent Scare. London, July 19.—Since the canned meat scare a widespread analyzing of promiscuous samples of canned goods of every description has been going on at the request of the local tovemment board. With a few exceptions the analysts’ reports indicate that about the only thing which can be alleged against the canned food sent to Eng- land is that the retailers keep them on their shelves too long. So far as the examination has gone apparently nothing has been discovered to bear out the recent scare so far as import- ed goods are concerned. For instance, an analyst’s report on fourteen sam- ples of American goods purchased in the poorest parts of Wadsworth says: “In every sample the contents of the can were sound and in no case ‘were preservatives or other ccloring matter detected. Evidence of dirt or other extraneous matter was carefally looked for, but in every instance the samples, in this respect, were satis- factory.” TWENTY-FOUR, UNDER ARREST.

Petersburg, July 19.—The polit- ftcal barometer is again falling. The sonfusion which seems to have taken possession of the upper spheres sinoe the efforts to form a coalition minis- try failed, coupled with<$he alarming reports from the interfor and the atti- tude of parliament, make almost any- thing possible. There has been a marked renewal of apprehension that the crisis may end in a coup @etat against parliament. The assassina- tion of Vice Admiral Chouknin aad Goneral Kozlov, the discovery that be- hind the murder of the general was & big plot to kill not enly General Tre- poft but Prince Putiatin and other courtiers and the general epidemis of assaszination, which has terrorized not only the local authorities but even the police, together with the wild de- struction of property by the peasantry in half a dozen provinces during the last few days, have again strengthened the small part of the court which be- Heves in resorting to “extreme meas- ures.” The adoption by the lower house of parliament of an address to the coun- try will, it is feared, place in the hands of the reactionists the needed lever to move the czar. M. Petrajitski Vainly Warned the Lower House of the seriousness of the. proposed step, but the majority of the Consti- tutional Democrats, of which party he is a prominent member, seem con- vinced that they must hold the peas- ants at all hazards. The members of the extreme left seemed to court a fight, preaching open revolution from the rostrug.

Kokoshkine, one of the most prominent Constitutional Democrats in the lower house. Late reports describe the situation in that province as “hopeléss” from the stand- point of the landlords. The situatiom is almost as bad in Poltava and Smo- lensk provinces. In Tambov province elghty peasants are reported to have been killed or wounded by dragoons.

Paris, July 19.—The Journal says it is in a position to afiirm that in the course of the.recent - Intervie Schoenbrunn palace, near Vienns, be- tween the emperor of Austria-Huhgary and the German emperor their majes- ties deliberated on the means to adopt in case of the outbreak of a revolution in Russia, Emperor Nicholas being ad- vised of the general nature of the de- lberations. It was decided.in prin- ciple, the paper says, that Germany and Austria’ will intervene in Poland with armed forces in case the Russian emperor finds it impossible to main- tain control of Poland, the three em- perors thereafter acting in concert for the maintenance of the status quo of their respective Polish possessions. The Journal further asserts that this understanding amounts to a reg- ular holy alliance between the three emperors. Chlef of Police of Tifils Victim of Terrorists.
