ASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Marcus Daly, the millionaire miner of Montana, was the principal witness before the Senate Com- mittee on Privileges and Elec- tions to-day. He was on the stand for t two hours, and at the expiration at time was excused on the plea that not well and that the questioning gued him. Daly confessed i contributed $20,000 or $25,000 to the pragecution of this case, but asserted that he had not entered into any con- spiracy before Clark's election to injure him. conclusion he tendered his checks and checkbooks for inspection by the com- mittee. Clark listened attentively - to Daly’s testimony. Daly said he had contributed to the campaign when it was organized to the extent of about $4500 and later to the ex- tent of 32500; also $500 in Deer Lodge County and $20 on various other occa- sions. He had never, he said, sought to compel miners employed by him to vote | according to his sentiments. As to White- side, he sald he had given him nothing for the purpose of defeating Clark “Did you ever during the session of the Legislaiure give any money toward the leteat of Mr. Clark?” No, 1 did not; not one dollar,” he re- plied.

Daly sald that Campbell, Whiteside and several others | of the State Committee were those who joined him in prosecuting this case. There was to be a contribution to cover expenses for hiring lawyers, expenses of witnesses, | ete. “How much have you contributed thus far?" asked Hoar.

Contract Repudiated. The plaintiffs charge that in truth and in fact no such agreement to sell its prod- cts to the steel company as is pretended as the excuse for making sald contract and no agreement whatsoever for deliver- fes through a perfod of years, or at the price named in the pretended contract, was at any time made by the coke com- v or by any one authorized to act on behalf; and the pretense thereof is only the creation of Directors Moreland, Gayley, Clemson and Morrison, with Car- negie and Lauder acting in the interest arncgle and the steel company: and they so made said contract only for the benefit of said Carnegle and themselves as members of the steel company, and in bad faith to the interest of all other stockholders of the coke company.

Chaigneau was up to last June City Marshal of Napa, to which office he had been elected time and time again by his friends. Shortly after his last race for Marshal, the City Treas- urer and City Council found upon investi- gation that Chalgneau was short in his accounts with the city to the extent of $2200.

He had kept no gersunill account of it, but three or four ays ago he telegraphed from New York to the bookkeeper at Anaconda and learned that the amount was 320,000 to $26,- 000. He said his.promise to contribute was made after Clark had accused him and others of a “villainous conepiracy.” Daly explained his ac?ua.lntance with White- side, who had buflt a block at Butte for a firm i{n which Daly was Interested. Faulkner took the witness over the con- versation with Corbett and Daly denfed | the conversation as given by Corbett. He | denied ever having said that Clark's friends would be sent to the penitentiary. “I have not the slightest personal feel- ing against Mr. Clark or the members of | his family/’' declared - Daly, ‘‘and any | Members of the committee suggested | that no testimony had been given that palxg' was' unfriendly to Clark’'s family. “But I ‘am dealing with that chap's | question,” he replied, amid a roar at designation of Faulkner as ‘“that chap.’ Daly denied having authorized the send. ing .of Pat Conlan to Flathead County during the State campaign. He asserted | that he knew of no money having been spent In the Legislature in the interest of | House bill No. 214. Daly said he thought | Toole's estimate of the amount of money | expended in behalf of Anaconda in the capital contest in 1894 was about right. He had not handled the money, but he did | ¢ not believe the amount exceeded $350,000. | | The companies which might be described as subsidiary to the Anaconda company had given $200,000. “Do _you remember a conversation you had with J. R. Toole previous to the meet- ing of the Legislature, in which you satd you would put up $75,000 to beat Mr. | Clark?" he was asked. | “I have never had such conversation with Toole or any one else.” Daly then complained of feeling ex- hausted on account of illness and he was excused. Financial Collapse bine Which Gon MILWAUKEE, Wis., Feb. 26.—The United States Milling Company, generally known as the flour trust, collapsed yester- day afternoon, but the fact did not be- come known until to-day, when Judge Jenkins, in proceedings ancillary to the United States Court of New Jersey, ap- pointed three receivers for the company, two of whom are now in charge of the property. The receivers are: Daniel Thomas of New York, Charles BE. Kim- ball of Summit, N. J., and Albert C. Lor- ing of Minneapolis. The collapse of the company was due, it Is sald, to in&bility to float its securities on the open market. In his complaint George William Ballou of New Jersey, the stockholder who in- stitutes the sult in which the receivers are appointed, makes the following statement concerning the causes leading to the fafl- ure of the company: In the organization of the company it had been hoped that sufficient means would be pro- vided for the purchase of the property required by the company and to supply sufficient work- ing capital to carry on its business by the sale of its first mortgage collateral gold bonds, but because of the tight money market and the depression in industrial securities the company was unable to carry out the plan and was sbliged to resort to borrowing money on its ollateral trust bonds and otherwise urged to secure a temporary loan by its issue of so- called trust bonds, and further, by the fallure of this plan, by borrowing in open market. The money 8o borrowed constitutes the floating in- debtedness, which amounts to $1,085,608 08, of which $149,365 is due and $394,850 is on demand loans o Controlled Many Mills. The United States Milling Company was tormed with a capital stock of $25,000, on April 27, 1899, having secured control of the following flour milling property: In Milwaukee, the Daisy and ~Faist- Kraus mills. In Supertor, the Lake Superior, the An- chor gnd the Listmann mills. In West Superlor, the Grand Republic, the Freeman and the Minkota mills. In Minneapolis, the Excelsior, the Standard and St. Anthony mills, together with % per cent of the capital stock of the Northwestern Consolidated Milling Company, which operates and owns five big flour mills, i n Duluth, the Imperial and ‘the con- structed Terminal elevators. In New York State, the Syracuse mills, the Baldwinsville mill, the Urban mill. In New Jersey, % per cent of the Heck- er-Jones Milling Company, -which owns and operates four large mills. To-day's proceedings will be insti- tuted {n every circult where the com- pany owns property. The bond fixed by the New Jersey court Is $100,000 in eac! case. Judge Jenkins requires’ the recelv- ers to give an additional bond of $25,000 ECEIVERS APPOINTED FOR THE FLOUR TRUST a Dozen Cities. of the Great Com- trolled Mills in each. While the original suit is in New Jersey, the greatest litigation probably will be in Wisconsin, as the majority of the company's properties is in this State. Ballou says he had made a'careful in- vestigation of the affairs of the company and is satisfied that it is wholly insol- vent. The company. Mr. Ballou sets forth, will be unable to meet any of its obliga- tions as they mature. Its cash in the bank is but $1000 and it has no bills or ac- counts recelvable the proceeds of which would be sufficlent to meet the matured and maturing obligations. - ol INTENDS. TO REORGANIZE. Proposed Rehabilitation of the Col- lapsed Combine. NEW_ YORK, Feb. 2.—The United States Milling Company was organized last May with sixteen mills in the prin- eipal milling cities of the country. Last year the bonds of the company took a turable and it was found that the com- pany could not go on under its manage: ment as then conducted. To add to com- plexities, the Hecker-Jones-Jewell Co. stockholders, who had come into the con- solidation some time ago, brought a suit looking to withdrawal. On January 2, a reorganization commit- tee started at work to reorganize the company. The members of this commit- | tee are: General Thomas, Edwin Gould, B. E. Simmons, W. Van Norden, Brayton Ives, William L. Bell and Thomas MclIn- tyre, To-day was set as the limit date for the deposit of stock for the reorgani- zation. “This appointment of recetver,” sald George Ballou, secretary of the organiza- tion committee, “was asked for by a| stockholder and was forced upon us by | Creditors, but has been carried through | inevitable and the best thing to do. Just West, and the receivership was the only | solution of the problem. “It will help on the reorganization. It will secure stockholders who have been holding out. The committee will now go in and carry out its scheme of reorgani- | zation to the end without trouble. To-day | being the last day for the deposit of stock for reorganization had nothing to | do with the appointment of the receiver. ! The committee had already enough stock | in hand, together with the securities we | have made loans on and can force in, to declare the plan of the reorganization op- erative.” A meeting of the reorganization com- mittee was held this afternoon, but the action taken by it could not be learned. SOLD WARES FOR A PUBLIC IMPROVENENT Palo Alto Woman’s Club Holds a"Mardi Gras Market. Proceeds Will Form the Nucleus of a Fund for Keeping the City’s Streets Free From Rubbish. —iee Speclal Dispatch to The Call. PALO ALTO, Feb. 26.—The Palo Alto ‘Woman's Club has added village improve- ment to its long list of benevolent and public spirited enterprises. It has started out to assist the city fathers in cleaning and beautifying the streets and public parks. The public schoal grounds are to be laid out in lawns and ornamental trees; gutters and sidewalks will be freed from accumulations of trash, and rubbish boxes will be placed at convenient cor- ners. Should a stray piece of paper chance to blow down the town's classic streets it will be quickly seized upon and jammed relentlessly . beneath the cover of a rubbish box. To raise necessary funds, the ladies took advantage of the season to hold a Mardi Gras market in the handsome new Parkinson building on University avenue. Dutch women, ench peasants and Spanish vendors, with all sorts of mar- ketable products, made & say busy scene. The doors were opened early Sat- urday morning, and so great was the rush’ of patrons that by noon most of | the stalls were bought out. It was an opportunity to frocnre delicacies for Sun- day dinners of which busy housewives were glad to avau themselves. When the market women counted the proceeds from their sales it was found that quite a large sum could be put in ‘the hands of the improvement co‘:.nmlt- ee.
