Bills Returned Agalnot Two Fuel Com
panies Harrlman and Gould Inter,
esto Arc Charged With Irregular
Methods.
Bait Iiko, Dec. 8. Tho federal
grand Jury Investigating coal land
frauds- In Utah and charges that rail
roads have discriminated against cor
tain shippers made a partial report.
Indictments wero returned against tho
Union Pacific Itailroad company, tho
Oregon Short Lino Railroad company,
tho Union 1'aclflc Coal company, tho
Utah Fuel company and several of
tho highest officials representing tho
Harrlman and Gould Interests in
Utah.
Tho Indictment agalnBt tho Harrl
man railroads and tho Union Pacific
Goal company and tho two olllclals of
thoso companies Is based on alleged
unlawful discrimination against tho
D. J. Sharp Coal company.
Tho indictment against tho Utah
Fuel company and tho six agents of
that company Is based on tho methodB
used in acquiring about 1,400 acres of
coal lands in Sevier County, Utah.
Tho lands wore filed on in March, 1905.
Tho two men indicted for perjury
proved to bo Theodore Schulte, tho
employe of an insuranco firm, and
Thomas A. Moore, abstracter in tho
county recorder's ofllcc. Both wero
arrested and releasod on 2,500 bail.
Tho charge of perjury, it is believed,
grows out of tho belief of tho grand
jury that the men acted as land lo
cators for the Utah Fuel company and
rofuscd to admit tho fact when exam
ined as witnesses.
Thn ofher defendants have not been
formally arrested, but have, f is given
out, arranged through tho company
attorney to appear before United

ard stated that when tho grand Jury

qulsltlon will bo resumed. Tho in
dictments, ho said, mark only the bo
ginning of tho government's probing
operations in Utah and Wyoming, nnd
the violations of laws alleged in
these indictments aro only incidents
of a gigantic system of fraud that
has been in operation in the west for
many years.

Money Found Due State.
Topoka, Kan., Dec. 12. B. A.
Grimes, ex-sfato treasurer, voluntarily
paid to tho state of Kansas tho sum
of $9,381, for which amount an in
vestigating committee some timo ugo
hold ills administration responsible.
Tho alleged shortage was never coi
sldered in tho light of a defalcation
in any sense of tho word and resulted
from a practice that had been tho rule
In tho stato treasurer's olllco for many
years boforo and after Mr. Grimes
sumed tho office. Tho lnvestlg.
showed conclusively that Mr. Grimes
was not benefited in any way through
fills practice. Therefore in making a
payment to tho stato now of tho
amount involved he has assumed a re
sponsibility at a personal I033 to him
self. Mr. Grimes' notion, closes a caso
that had become famous.

RELIGIOUS CRISIS IN FRANCE
Pope Issues Orders to Clergy to Hold
Out Even Against Violence.
Paris, Dec. 10. Franco seems to
face an alarming religious crisis. Re
ports of tho popo's eleventh-hour re
jection of tho government's final prof
fer, under which Catholic worship
could bo continued under tho common
law, turns out to bo only too true, and
tho deadlock now is apparently com
plete. According to tne holy fathers
orders, declarations under tho law of
1881 aro prohibited, but tho parish
priests must remain in their churches
until driven out by violence.
Tho official confirmation of this
communication has created a, sensa
tion. Cardinal Lecot, archbishop of
Bordeaux; Archbishop Germain and
others who already had advised com
pliance with tho law, have hastily in
structed tho parish priests of their
dioceses that their former advice is
null and void, and in all tho churches
of Paris bishops and priests, after
mass, read the letter from Cardinal
Richard, archbishop of Paris, commu
nicating tho decision of tho holy see
to "continue services in the churches,
but abstain from any declaration," and
Cardinal Richard's own instructions,
in view of tho order Issued by the
prefect of the Seine, not to permit for
the present tho employment of cere
monial draperies at marriages or fu
nerals. Tho government regards the action
of the pontiff as little loss than a
summons of the French Catholics to
open rebellion.
