2 HARRIMAN ADMIRES ODELL|BEARS MAKE_A NEW MOVE STRIKERS HOOT AT WORKMEN Governor of New Yuk Wins Railroad l;gnlte ] Mpoct. BASIS FOR THE UNION PACIFIC STORY Shrewd Plece of Finune exislation Achieved by the Governor Attracts Attention of Money Kings of Wall Street. The prese report from New York yes- terday that Governor Odell of the Empire e was to retire from active polities to accept a bigh position with the Union Pacific Rallroad company at the command- ing salary of $100,000, with home and head- quarters in Omaha, recalls the rumor which was set afloat last winter when the governor was preparing for his “pleasure” trip to the Pecific coast. At that time it sald that Governor Odell's trip west was not so much for recreation as to afford an occAsion for a conference with E. H. | Harriman and other Union Pacific mag- nates who were then In California. Back of these reports is sald to be a very fond admiration by the great finan- olers of Wall street, in which distin- guished class Mr. Harriman and his asso- clates will at once be accorded places, for ,the young and aggressive executive of New | "York. It appears that the very elements of greatness in these kings of commerce have been detected by them in the makeup and administration of Governor Odell, hence thelr admiration for him. The principal proposition laid before the ‘legislattire by Governor Odell last year ,was a new method of state taxatlon, which is 8aid to have first amused the Wall street magnates and been looked upon by them & mere illusfon of a young and ambi- ous politictan. But this scheme, which was to do away with direct taxation and utllize the resources of the state so as Mo simplity,_the system of taxation, equalize hhe returns upon great corporations and «obviate the mnecessity of the regular tax- gathering crusade, found easy access to sthe commendation of its former critics when the leglslature adopted it and the men of means had taken the time to thoroughly study it. . Victory for the Governor, Governor Odell had demonstrated, there- Jfore, ‘the wisdom of his financial invention )coincidental with his just claim to the title of a saplent financial statesman, and more than this, had proven his ability to \push his plan to the front in the face of Wall street's sneering frown. He had made his debut; he had passed from the novitiate or experimental of financlal statesmanship and was readily recognized as a coming financler. From that time until the time of the first re- port that he hud been spotted by the Har- rimans ag a financlal manager for thelr great system of rallroads, Governor Odell's stock in Wall etreet ‘is said to have been sbove par. It fs sald that theso facts furnish the basis for the report pyblished yesterday that Governor Odell had decided to leave the statehouse at Albany and assume the financial direction of the Harriman lines. It is as a fancier; therefore, according ‘to the reporth; | Ahé governor is des- ignated. Of this report, which was published in the morning papers, that Governor Odell | ‘was coming to the Unlon Pacific, President Burt of the Union Pacific, said: “I know nothing at all about the matter.” Mr. Burt did not discuss the report or its significance in detail, but made the state- mént that it there was anything In it he wils it aware of {t: Other Unfol Pactfic and other local rail: road men rmd considerable interest in the repart, but none, was able to reconcile it. “I 4o mot see what position ~Mr. Odell could be given in Omaha,” said one. “The finane{ng of the road {s all done in Wall street and must of necessity continue to be done there. Mr, Harriman has rather re- cently placed J. O. Stubbs in genbral charge of all trafMc affairs,of the system of roads controlled by the Harriman people and even the auditing department, with Brastus Young at the head, has just been reorgan- 1zed. ‘Mr. Burt seems secure in his position as president of the Unlon Pacific, so I can't see what placé gould be assigned or even creited for Mr. Odell or anyone else at such & commanding salary as that.” Govérnof Odall- recently visited -Omaha, when he was given a dinner at the Omaba club by Prosident Burt and introduced to representative professional and busin men of this city.. There was no intimation at that time of the proposed connection of the governor with the " Union . Pacific Rallroad company. Peck Counsels with Baldwin, The presence in Omaha of George R. Peck, general counsel of the Chicago, Mil- waukeg. & St. Paul, trom Chicago, and his conference with General Counsel Baldwin of the Unfon 'Pacific, General Manager Dickinson and other officials of that road, have given' impetus to the report that the Unfon Pacific .bas bought the Milwaukee and will enter immedia: upon the ex- tension work to the Pacific coast which the Milwaukee's old management had planned. has been published, 8.

Application was made to the Board of Trade directors for & ‘“‘ma ginal" price on new July oats, and after a hearing the officiala fixed 45 cents as a fair figure for marginal purposes although the new July option closed at 60 ¢ents today and had sold at 72 cents only a tew days ago. The bull crowd referred to the application ® “‘pleading the baby aot.” The bears declared it “standing on thelr rights.”” - 1t is a provision of the Board of Trade rules that when there 1s suspicion of a corner the officlals ¢an be callea upon to fix a price in accord with outside markete and without taking Into consideration any of the peculiar local speculative conditions which may exist. ‘‘The directors merély acted’ under thé rules,” said President Warren. “‘We heard testimony as to the tommercial value of oats in other markets and deelded to fix it at 45 cents. This does not affect the situa- tion at all, except for marginal purposes it permits the seller 'to call marging 10 per cent under 45 cents,/but the buyer still h the right to call 10 per cent over ginal, whatever it happens to. b There Is no corner rule in existence on the Board of Trade, and if the longs de- mand their purchases the shorts must tle, deliver or default: UNDER ARREST FOR MURDER at Serions Charge is Preferved Ag: & Prominent Offieer in Cuba, v NEW YORK, July 20,—A World (lspatch from Havane says that General Perico Delago is under arrest charged with hav. ing nated Antonlo, a nephew of Colonel Baldomero Acosta. The arrest has caused a profound sensa- tion, as General Delago is one of the best known Cubans. He commanded the Cuban sharpshooters who operated against W, ler's black Spanish guerillas In the la revolution. He is mow an offiver. of the Cuban rural guards. General Delago's trial promises to_be sensational, as there I8 much mystery sur- roynding the disappearance of young Acosta from his home six weeks ago. It is sald that Colonel Acosta, the young man’s uncle, obtained private Information that his nephew was selzed by guards under General Delago’s direction and afterward was seen taken from the police station at night, handcuffed and between two of De- lago's men. Young Acosta was alde-de-camp to Gen- eral Delago during the recent war, and for a long time was his confidential secre~ tary. Not long ago charges were mads against Delago by ‘& mumber of oOattle owners in connection with the opefation of cattle thieves. COMPETITION BEGINS "AGAIN After an ll(erfll'fl.. 'l Four.

CROWDS GROW THREATENING AT PLACES Men Employed in Mines Afrald to Return Home at Night When They Are Compelled to Face the Strikers. SHAMOKIN, Pa., July 29.—One thousand men, women and children assembled At the Mineral company's Cameron colllery this evening and hootel and cursed nonunion men as they quit work. A delegation of boys stoned several sub-bosses as they en- tered town. Chiet Burgess Thomas and the police charged the crowd and put them to flight. The coal company officials say they will ask for troops tomorrow if there is a continuance of the attempts to annoy the workmen. MOUNT CARMEL, Pa., July 20.—Two crowds of strikers numbeMng fully 8,000 men, women and children, collected at all the Reading and Union company operations between here and Shamokin this evening and hurled stones and sticks at the non- unfon men. Six of the latter were cap- tured by the mob near Richards’ colllery and were badly pummelled. On promising to remain away from the colliery until the strike ends they were liberated. Several scores of nonunion men remained at a couple of the mines tonight, afrald to face the strikers, who are picketed along the roads leading info town. Richards Thremtened Blacklist. CHARLBSTON, Va., July 20.—One of the points ‘which was’ brought out in the trial of John Richards and others in the federal court here before Judge Keller today is that Richards threatened to black- list all miners who refused to come out and join the strikers. When Richards was speaking to a crowd and the working miners were listening, he turned to the working miners and pleaded with them to quit work and said that when the strike was over and the union had been recognized, which is surely would be, they would not be able to work In any scetion of the country. He told them he had a Iist of all their names and it would be furnished to every local unfon in the country, and wherever they went they would be pointed to as scabs and would not be allowed to earn a living. This point was emphasized as much as the prosecutfon could emphasize it, so that it could be shown to the court that the organization, which {s opposed to a black- st by the employer, purposes to maintain a blacklist among those of its craft. The speech was taken by the stenographer of the Collins Colliery company, and the trans- cript was submitted In the court today. Testimony was presented to show that the marches and the contributions from head- quarters of the Unfted Mine Workers were to support the men on & strike. Thé men employed in the mines téstified they were afrald, to work on account of the gath- erings of the strikers, and while the speak- ers counseled obedlénce to the law, it was shown they continued to gather in large crowds in the vicinity of the cglliery, and asperted that they would stay there until the men came out of the mines. The pros- ecutfon brought out testimony today to prove that checks to purchase food were sent here by W. B. Wilson and John Mit chell. The .prosecution has closed its case and the defense will start tomorrow. ' Mitehéll to Make Speeches. WILKESBARRE, Pa), Suly 20.<President’ Mitchell will start this week to gagements e has to deliver addresses b fore United Mthe Workers' assemblies ‘in different parts of the anthracite region. National Board Member John Fallon re- ports that the miners are satisfled with the relief plan as carried out in the Wy- oming region. The first instaliment of the relief funds was not large and succor could be given to only the most destitute cases. President Mitchell says that when the money recelved from the assessment levied on the bituminous miners comes in there will be easier salling for all concerned. Seven striking miners from Nanticoke were arraigned before Magistrate Brown of this city this afternoon, charged with committing an assault on William Young, an engineer employed at one of the col- lieries of the Susquehanna Coal company. The strikers were held in bail for trial at court A crowd of 1,600 men and boys prevented the resumption of work at the Wanke washery at Duryea this morning. A num- ber of men who came down from Scranton |to work at the washery were at once sur- rounded by a threatening crowd. The burgess was appealed to to protect the men ‘who wanted to work, but he thought he would not be able to do it and telephoned to Sheriff Jacobs. The sheriff sent four deputies to the scene, but when they ar- rived the mob had dispersed. Men who had been hired to work at the washery were badly frightened and when the train for Scranton came along they jumped aboard and returned to that place. A vél- ley of stones followed them. The operator of the washery says he will not make an- other attempt to resume operations. /e ey INJUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE Colorado State Board of Health Issues Statement Relative to Ty~ phoid Fever.

Rains are generally badly needed fn the central and southern Rocky mountain di tflcts. The temoerature conmditions have been highly favorable except in New Eng- land, New York and Texas, wnere it has been 100 cool, and in California, where ex- cessive heat has caused some deciduous frult to ripen faster than it could be andled. Favorable Weather for Corn, The corn crop has experienced another week of exceptionally favorable conditions over much the greater part of the princi- pal corn area, the least favorable reports being recetved from southeastern Missouri d “southern Illindls, where the crop is belng Injured by drouth. A fine yleld Is promised in Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana and over much the.greater part of Missourl, Iilinols and Oblo. In lowa, where the crop has suffered much In previous weeks from heavy rains and lack of cultivation corn is improving, and in the early flelds ls ing heavily. In the middle Atlantio ates and to the southward of the Ohlo river corn has suffered much from drouth in sections, especially the early planted. Showers have pravented the completion of winter wheat harvest in the lake region, New England and the northern portion of tho aiddle Atlantic staies, where damage to wheat In thock s quite extensively re- ported; olsewhere harvesting is completed, except on the Paclfic cosst, where it is progressing rapldly in Oregon and has be- gun in Washington. Spring Wheat Needs Rain. Late spring wheat neede rain“in portions of South Dakota and rust is appearing in North Dakota, but on ‘he whole its condi- tion {s very promising. The crop is ripen- ing rapidly in the northern portion and harvesting has begun in the southern por- tion of the spring wheat reglon. In por- tlons of southeastern Minnesota fields are too wet for the hinders. Oats harvesting is progressing under diffi- culties in the upper Missiesippl valley and lake reglons, where the crop is badly lodged and flelds in some sections are too wet for reapers. Notwithstanding these. adverse conditions the general outlook for a large yield is favorable, espectally in the Mis- souri and upper Ohfo valleys and the north- ern portion of the middle Atlantic states. The northern portions of the eastern and central districts of the cotton belt continue . to suffer from drouth, the effects of which are beginning to be more seriously felt, es- pectally on upiands. Outside the drouth |area in the districts named the crop is mak- ing very favorable progréss, lhe Pllll'. belog heaviy fruited.. 4 Ingects ‘Da General and heavy rains in Texas were very beneficlal in westeérn counties, but they were, not needed elsewhero in that state. These rains have caused very rapid growth and the plant is heavily fruited, but con- sjderable damage by boll weevil, boli worm and. shedding are reported. Hot and. dry weather is now needed in Texas to permit cultivation and check ravages by insects. Picking continues in the southern counties and has commenced in the central countles, but has been retarded by frequent raims. As a rule the general outlook for apples continues unpromising, although in some sections a good crop is promised. The most tavorable reports are recelved from New England, eastern and northern New York, Michigan and portions of Illinols, Kansas and Oklahoma. The bulk of a good hay crop has been se- cured in the states of the central valleys. FORCED TO GIVE BACK MONEY Delicate Embe: ent Case is Han- d in Dip te Way by Ambassador . Clayton, we Cottom. ‘WASHINGTON, July 29.—United States Ambassador Clayton, at Mexico, has suc- seeded in securing restitution in’one of the ldrgest- embezzlement cases before the Mexican State department. Some time ago James Brown Potter, representing large American and English interests in the Tlahaulilo Mining com- pany of Mexico, appealed to the State do- partment for justice, claiming that by a fraudulent conspiracy some of the direc- tors of the company had embeszled funds o the amount of $2,000,000. This, it ‘was charged, was accomplished by packed elections and the bestowal of illegal powers upon one of the directors of The fact that some in- ferfor Mexican oficials were involved in the conspiracy made it almost impossible to obtain justice by the ordinary methods. The State department referred the case to Ambassador Clayton, and he brought ft t0 “the sttention of the Mexican govern- ment and pressed it so vigorously that he is now able to report that the comspir: tors have been obliged to disgorge all of the money and sepurities they had obtained by their fraudulent operations. NATIVES CONFESS' TO MURDER Party of Four Americans Killed and Bodies Cast’ Adrift in = Small Boat. WASHINGTON, July. 20.—Manila papers received at the War department give an account of the begloning of the trial of twenty-three natives in the islana of Min- doro, who are charged with killing four Americans. The,names and identity of the Americans could not be obtainea. Trom san of (he (xenigethree men ar-| VB rested a partial story of the massacre has been obtained. The four Americans ap- proached the shore of Mindoro in & boat and as soon as they landed the natives tacked them, putting all to death and mu- tilating them. The bodies then were put in the boat and cast adrift. The finding of the boat by the Americans led to the discovery of the crime and confessions from some of the natives gave such facts as have been obtalned. Ilinols in Dry Deeck. WASHINGTON, July 20.—The United States battleship Illinols, which struck an obstruction in the harbor of Christia; Norway, on July 14, was safely placed in dry dock at Chatham today. An ex- amination of the keel disclo: that con- siderable damage had been tained and that the repairs probably will r.qulu a wonth's time, e || respondence of the so In Danger of Haytien Mobs, but Will Receive Protection Machias, on WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.—~The fol- lowing cablegram, dated today, was re- ceived at the Navy department this after- noon from Commander McCrea of the Ma- chias, which arrived at Cape Haytien yes- terday Affatre are very much disturbed at Cape Haytien. Unorganized mob in the city, Forelgn consuls have been threatened. Will Five protection on board. I will' prevent ombardment without due notice. The State department has no hesitaiton in fully approving the energetic and suf- ficlent action of Commander McCrea in taking care of the foreign consuls and in preventing a bombardment without warning. The American and foreign interests in Cape Haytien are large, and an American captain is required by the unwritten law to look after the life and property of other forelgn residents as well as Americans In such cases. It is sald that the rules of inter- national law as well as the dictates of humanity require that proper notiee be glven before a bombardment, iy order that women, children and non-combatants may leave the town and carry off their personal belongings. The Navy department feels that the Ma- | chlas .is sufficlently large for the work at hand at this polnt, though if there were more such small American guuboats in tha Bulf and Caribbean, a quiet and restrain- ing frifluence would be exerted over these frequent rebelious outbreaks, involving violations of the rules of war and great suffering. However, there is no naval ves- sel, save those now actually engaged in such service as Machias, within 1,800 miles of the varfous scats of trouble in Central and South America and the West Indies. Machias s a vessel of 1,777 tons, carrying efght 4-inch rapid fire guns and a crew of eleven officers and 143 men. While not many men could be spared for a landing party, the vessel undoubtedly could llve in the anchorage and cover the town with its guns. there is the slightest danger of an attack upon it by any of the Haytian gunboats, loyal or rebel.
