P. Job Also. Omaha, Neb., May 30.—Fred Tor- tensen and W. D. Woods were last night identified by Engineer Mickel- john and Fireman Prawl as the men who crawled over the tender of their engine last Saturday night and forced them to stop the Union Pacific over- land limited. Engineer Mickeljohn was especial- ly sure of Tortensen because of sev- eral peculiarities in his physical makeup. He also declared he was equally sure about Woods. Several school children also identified all the prisoners as men they had seen in the vicinity of Brown Park school Sun- day and Monday. A laborer living near the scene of the holdup identified two of the pris- ners as men he had. seen examining the ground in that vicinity a day or two before the robbery. Rifled Bags Are Found. Following the arrest Thursday night in the vicinity of the school house of three suspects as they were approaching a place where, it is said, they had hidden revolvers and other material, a hundred secret service .|}men, private and city detectives early in the day began to search the local- ity for further evidence. Two men climbed into the school attic and found eight registered mail sacks, two rain coats, a long top coat and a pair of overalls. Examination showed that every letter and p2ckage had been torn open and the contents of value removed. There were sev- ‘leral jewelry packages, the contents of which had been taken. Suspected of N. P. Holdup. The police found in the school house attic near the mail pouches a small souvenir mirror, on the reverse side of which was a picture of the Spokane union station. This leads the postoffice people to believe the same men might have held up the Northern Pacific train near that city. The Union Pacific railroad offered a reward of $5,000 edch for thé rob- bers the night the holdup occurred, and it is a matter of interesting spec- ulation as to how the remard will be awarded in the event of the men un- der arrest being convicted. Three small boys, none of them*over eight years, were the first to give the po- lice the clue which led to the arrests Chief Briggs and two detectives made the capture and will share in the reward. STIRS RACE HATRED. ']Negro Fireman on Georgia Train Is Cause of RiOting. Atlanta, May 30.—The first violence |}to railroad property in the Georgia railroad firemen’s strike occurred last night to a moving freight at Lithonia, Ga. In consequence the race situation loomed more sharply than ever, notwithstanding a day of much apparent progress toward set- tlement. A negro fireman apparently was the cause of the trouble. He was rushed to Atlanta on an engine to save him from a threatening situa- tion. . The trouble started in the throwing of a stone or two and the boarding of the freight by men who .|set the brakes and broke it into three sections. The freight now blocks the main line and the progress of the mails. Railroad officers declared last night that the incident was the work of sympathizers. It is believed that the railroad au- thorities will attempt to clear the track at Lithonia for the mail trains today and that deputies will be used to protect train crews. Bandmaster Is Suicide. West Point, N. Y., May 30.—George Essicke, for the last fifteen years bandmaster at West Point, committed suicide yesterday by. inhaling illumi- nating gas. Recent trouble concern- ing enlistments in the band is believ- ed to have preyed upon Essicke’s mind. Missing Bookkeeper Short. Indianapolis, May 30.—Max Emme: : rich, a bookkeeper in the Capital Na- tional bank of this city, has disappear- ed. Frank D. Stalnaker, president of the bank, made a public statement yesterday that an examination of Em- merich’s books shows he was respon- sible for cash shortage of $10,000. Kansas Now Absolutely Dry. Topeka, Kan., May 30.—Kansas last night went absolutely dry. The new prohibitory law went into effect at midnight. Under its terms no liquor can be sold for any purpose by drug: gists or anybody else. Judge Is Acquitted, Oklahoma City, Okla. May 30. — District Judge W. M. Maben of Shaw- nee was acquitted at Tecumseh last night of the charge of accepting bribes from gamblers’ and bootleg: | afte “ District Atgeomly, Chay Charges That Efforts to Get Facts Are Met With Fraud and Forgery. —— New York, May 30. — The federal ‘lgrand jury’s investigation of F.-Au- gustus Heinze’s affairs in connection |with the alleged misapplication of the funds of the Mercantile National bank took a sensational turn yesterday when United States Attorney Wise applied to and obtained from Federal Judge Lacombe an order directing certain directors of the United Cop- per company to produce the full and complete books of that concern in court forthwith or be declared in con- tempt. 3 Heinze Refuses Books. The directors named, Sanford Rob- inson, Chester Glass, William J. Cur- tis and Morris Abel, reported to the court at 4 o’clock yesterday after- noon, the time set by Judge Lacombe, that they were unable to comply with the court’s order, because Mr. Heinze, the president of the United Copper company, had refused to give them the books or tell where they were, giving as his reason that he was un- der indictment and further investiga- tion. They also reported that they were helpless for the moment, but would make every effort to get into the company’s vaults and search for them if given time. The directors further told the court that they had called a special meeting of the direc- torate five days hence, when Heinze and Secretary and Treasurer Gifford, who, it is alleged, has gone to Europe, would be deposed from their official positions with the company. Heinze, the directors went on, told them that Gifford took the minute books with him to Europe. Given Further Time. Judge Lacomb declared that under the circumstances he would be len- ient and give the directors further time to recover the books. He fixed Tuesday afternoon as the time for him to report in court again and add- ed: “The court appreciates the honest efforts of the directors to get out of the scrape. They are unfortunate in getting associated with a man who is too terrified to allow his books to be examined. As long as the books are on earth, and have not been burned, the effort must be made to produce them.” Passed on to Jerome. The mutilation of books of a corpo ration, as charged by United States District Attorney Wise when he pro- cured the order for their production, is a crime under the state law, and the matter will be called to the at- tention of District Attorney Jerome. Mr. Wise declared that his effort to get the desired facts from the com- pany’s books “had been met with fraud, perjury and forgery.” PATTEN WINS MANY MILLIONS. Gigantic Deal in May Wheat Closes— Bull Crowd Gathers in $7,000,000. Chicago, May 30.—At the stroke of noon Saturday on the Chicago board of trade the largest deal in wheat that the world has ever known Will have been closed out. The man who conceived the idea of running this gigantic deal in wheat for the May delivery almost. twelve months ago, who risked millions in the coup, who executed the deal with the skill and the cunning of a verita- ble Napoleon of finance, who sent the rice of wheat higher than it has gone in eleven years, who, many say, alone is responsible for a threatened increase in the price of bread as a re- sult of this deal—that man, James A. Patten, will have won millions when the gong in the wheat pit rings out the closing hour. And the men who have been closely associated with him in the colossal deal will also be millions of dollars to the good. Seven million five hundred thou- sand dollars is the conservative esti- mate that is placed on the profits that have fallen to James A. Patten, the wheat king, and his close followers on the May wheat deal. Other millions have been won by the men—and their name is legion— who have “trailed along” in the wake of the Patten craft. Conversely, millions have been lost. There are men in Chicago, big opera- tors, who doubted the ability of Pat- ten to put through his deal to a suc- cessful consummation. They backed their opinions with good coin of the ralm—and they are sorry for it. At one time during the progress of this tremendous deal in the cereal, the Patten following had bought over 30,000,000 bushels of wheat to be de- livered to them before the last day of May, 1909. Patten began to buy May wheat last June, when the price was |‘ This week May} ‘ wheat touched the high price mark— |’, : 89 3-4 cents a bushel. 11.35 1-4 a bushel. COBBLER ENRICHED.
