Lansdowne has taken occasion formally
to deny to the Russian government the
statement of the Novoe Vremya In regard
to the British cruiser Iphlgenla, which ves
sel the newspaper said had transmitted by
wireless telegraphy the Information that
It had passed Admiral Rojestvensky's
squadron 140 miles from Saigon. This,
the Novoe Vremya declared, was very Im
portant news to the Japanese, Inasmuch
as Rojestvensky had succeeded In slipping
by the. Japanese scouts. The denial of
the British Foreign office contained the
specific statement that the Iphlgenla did
not even sight the Russian squadron.

Th. sqiiadron of torpedo boats which, with

panied Admiral Jonquieres to Kamranh
bay, has Returned to this port this evening.
LONDON, April 21.-Although the infor
mation has been cabled from Saigon, French
Cochin China, that Admiral Jonquieres,
who went to Kamranh bajr In order to as-
i sure the observance of French neutrality
by the' Russian Pacific squadron, has re
turned to his flagship at Saigon, the dis
patch conveys no Information as to whether
or nof Rojestvensky's ships are still in
Kamranh bay. Neither Is there any defi
nite news regarding the progress eastward
of Vic- Admiral Nebogatoff's division of
tha squadron. Whilst the French report
that he had reached Sunda straits Is not
believed on account of the known slowness
' of Ma vessels. It Is considered within the
bounds of possibility that Rojestvensky's
lingering In the bau may be due to the

RUSTIN TO GIVEDENVER LIGHT
Omaha . Man Will Install Gala Sys
tem on One Street
There.
Henry Rustin of Omaha has received a
three months' contract for th work of re
modeling the lighting system of Denver,
The plan In contemplation Is to replace all
arc lights with a sufficient number of In
candescents to more than furnish equal
light. The plan contemplates the erection
of bronxed Iron arches on Sixteenth street
at every Intersection. All wires are to bo
removed from the streets and placed under
ground or in the alleys, and the trolley
wires are to be suspended from the incan
descent arches and the poles are to be re
moved. There Is to be an arch of welcome
In front of tho Union passenger station
which will be a very splendid affair, It
would appear, and which Is to cost some
thing like $12,000 and to employ 1,000 lights.
In addition to the street arches planned
every public and office building is to be
Illuminated with tncandescents on bronxed
brackets. Parka and residence districts
will be lighted with globes placed twenty
feet apart on both sides of the street. It
Is estimated that more than 600,Q00 globes
will be needed to make the change, but if
the Rustin plans are carried out It Is be
lieved the city will be the best and most
beautifully lighted city In the world.

IIEINZE GETS I1EALY MINE
Supreme Court cf Montana Decides Agaiiat
Amalgamated Copper Company.
HISTORY OF THE LONG LITIGATION
Judg-e Harney Stated that Charles W.
Clark and Others Offered Illai
itnw.OOO to Grant New
Trial.
HELENA. Mont.. Arril 20.-The supreme
court of Montana today affirmed the Judg
ment of the district court of Silver Bow
county In the case of Miles Flnlen against
F. Augustus Helnxe, the Montana Ore
Purchasing company and others, better
known as tha Minnie Mealy case. Involv
ing tKle to one of the richest copper mines
In Butte. The decision ' favors Helnxe.
Flnlen had leases -nd bonds upon tho
property from John Devlin,, Mrs. Devlin,
Mrs. Reilly and Mrs. Kelly In 1M, agree
ing to pay $100,000 for those interests. In
November, 18)H, Helnze claims to have had
a verbal agreement with Flnlen to take
over the bonds and leases for $54,000, and
under the terms of that agreement, began
working the property. This Flnlen dis
puted, and In February of the following
year the present suit for possession was
commenced by Flnlen. The case was tried
before Judge Harney without a Jury and
Judgment was rendered for the defendants
In . December, lsys. Flnlen having trans
ferred his Interest to the . Boston and
Montana, now an amalgamated company.
Judge Charges Bribery.
. It was at this time that charges of mis
conduct on the part of Judge Harney In
the conduct of the trial were made and
many sensational developments resulted.
Including Harney's charge that Chniles W.
Clark, son of the senator, A. J. 8hores,
attorney for the Amalgamated, and others
offered him a bribe of $250,000 to grant a
new trial. An effort was subsequently
made to disbar Shores, but It failed.
The Amalgamated, or Flnlen, appealed
to the supreme court and a new trial was
granted on tho ground that Harney had
not acted properly In the conduct of the
trial. The case was tried again before
Judtfe Clancy In "August, 1903, and, he de
cided for Helnxe. The Amalgamated again
appealed, the argument being nmde before
the supreme court last November. To
day a decision of the court, which was
written by Associate Justice "Holloway,
affirms the Judgment of Judge Clancy,
holding In effect that there was a verbal
contract between Finlen and Helnze by
which Helnze should take over Finlen's
bonds and leases in the mines.
Supreme Court Reviews Evidence.
Under an act passed: by the special ses
sion of the legislature the supreme court
was permitted to review the evidence In
the case, although It was equity proceed
ing. Chief Justice Brantiy dissented from
this proposition and In a long opinion ques
tions the right of the supreme court to
go into the evidence In an equity caae
unless the preponderance of evidence favors
such action.
The effect of the decision Is to give
Helnxe title to the mine,' the value of
whloh Is estimated In the millions. It Is
stated that If a federal question can be
found upon which to base an appeal the
Amalgamated Interests will appeal the
case to the supreme court of the United
States. ...
FRENCH GOVERNOR ON A TRIP
Local Representatives of France Ob.
serves Coast . of China.
PARIS, April 20. A dispatch received
today says M. Beau, governor general of
Indo-Chlna, recently decided on making a
tour of, the coast on board a naval auxil
iary vesael. He stopped at Qulnhon, which
Is 160 miles north of Kamranh bay, and
afterward proceeded to Hand, capital of
Tonquln.', This indicates the absence of
' the governor general from his usuil head-
quarters at Saigon. The purpose of his
- trip was not stated, but It appears to
have given him an opportunity to observe
the coast which is the subject of con
troversy in connection with the presence
of the,. Russian squadron in Indo-Chlna
waters.
AGEIS TARE.. AfllON
dent Hyde resign had been dlwrussed. Mr.
Tntbell announced, that there was some
casual discussion of this subject. Later
when Mr. Tarbell'. statement on this point
was conveyed to Mr. Hyde, the latter
seemed somewhat excited and Immediately
went Into private conference with Mr.
Frlck, who is at the head of the commit
tee appointed to Investigate the society's
affairs. Mr. Frlck when sen had nothing
to say as to the , proceedings of the
executive committee nor would he give
any hint as to what progress had been
made by the Investigation. President
Alexander made a brief statement that he
knew nothing about the reported proceed
ing for a receivership in tho Louisiana
courts and the doubted that such ft move
ment was under way. On the some sub
ject Vice President Hyde said he was not
a lawyer, but was advised that suit could
not be brought against a foreign cor
poration in the manner outlined In the Nsw
Orleans dispatches. When the agents met
today by an unanimous vote the con
vention Invited Mr. Hyde to address them
at his convenience this afternoon. A com
mittee was appointed to extend the ln
vitntlon to Mr. Hyde.
Mr. Bowes of the committee appointed
to Invite Mr. Hyde to address the gen
eral agents announced later that Mr. Hyde
ha renlled to the effect that he naa an
engagement for an Important meeting this
afternoon and regretted that he could not
address them at-i o'clock, as naa Deen
suggested. He would, however, prepare a
statement ooverlng all of the matters In
which he desired to communicate with them
and would send It to- them by tomorrow
morning. Mr. Bowes ald that Mr. Hyde
received the committee's Invitation very
cordially and expressed pleasure that he
had been called upon to address them. ,
Boh in Offers Resolution.
Tha, resolution Inviting Mr. Hyde to ad
dress the meeting of agents was offered
by J. Bohm of this city, who hissed Mr.
Hyde when the latter appeared before the
agents on Tuesday. E. A. Woods of Pitts
burg introduced a resolution which ex
pressed the assurance of agents that there
Is no question as ta the outcome of the
present trouble or the financial affairs of
the society.. It was referred to the com
mittee of rules. A permanent organiza
tion of the agents was effected by the
election of the following officers: Presi
dent, Edward A. Woods, Pittsburg; secre
tary, Charles Wake, New York; treasurer,
F. P. Chapln, Toledo. Arriong the vice
presidents elected was A. M. Shields, San
Francisco, J. S. Kendrlck St. Louis, Is
a member of the executive committee. The
committee of seventy-two of the general
agents of the Equitable society had made
an appointment to meet Superintendent
of Insurance Hendricks at his office In
Syracuse tomorrow and to meet Governor
Hirglns In Albany Saturday. After hearing
the report of the committee that called on
Mr. Hyde the meeting of the general agents
adjourned without date. .
Tarbell Asked to Resign.
The Herald tomorrow will say:
Gage E. Tarbell Is to be reauested to
resign his popltlon as second vice presi
dent of the Equitable Life Assurance so
ciety, to relinquish his position as a mem
ber of the society's executive committee
ana to withdraw as a member of di
rectors.
Unless these peremptory demands upon
Mr. Tarbell are made within the next few
days, a program that had been decided
on last night will have been changed.
When Henry c. rick was asked last
night about the proposed request on Mr.
Tarbell, he evaded the question and re
snonded: "I have nothing to say." But
the Information came to the Herald with
that directness which made Its authorlta
tiveness unqv lonable.

GARFIELD AT KANSAS CITY
Commissioner of Commerce and Labor
Called to Missouri bj State OfDoials.
HAS EVIDENCE AGAINST THE COMPANY
Attorney General Says Standard Oil
Concern Has Violated l.nir,
bnt He Desires to
Strengthen Case.
KANSAS CITY, April 30. James R. Gar
field, commissioner of corporations, and
Herbert S. Hadley, attorney general of
Missouri, held a conference here today at
the request of the Missouri omVlal, who Is
pushing an Investigation of the Standard
Oil company's methods In this state. Mr.
Garfield arrived here today after a week
spent In Investigating the oil situation in
the Kansas and Indian Terlrtory field, to
deliver an address before the Knife and
Fork club at Its regular monthly dinner.
Before going Into the conference Mr.
Hadley said:
W have already secured enough evi
dence to prove that the Standard Oil com
pany has been violating the laws of Mis
souri In monopolizing the oil products of
the state. We hope, however, that the
assistance of Mr. Garfield and the evi
dence that will be brought out as a result
of his investigations will make the state s
position stronger than ever.
May Return to Missouri.
After the conference with Mr. Hadley,
Mr. Garfield Intimated that after he had
completed his Investigation in Kansas, Cal
ifornia and Texas, he might take up the
question of how the Standard Oil transacts
Its business In Missouri. Just when this
might be would not, however, be known
for some time yet. f
"I can say nothing," said Mr. Gnrfleld,
when aaked regarding the conference.
"These things will all come out in my re
port. I go from here to Topeka to finish
some work there and then go to California
The agents of the government are at work
and will follow me when they have finished
their work."
While In Kansas City Mr. Garfield spent
some time at the office of the Prairie Oil
and Gas company examining the con
cern's books and questioning its officials.
Garfield Speaks at Dnno.net.
Mr. Garfield was the guest of honor and
principal speaker at a dinner given by the
Knife and Fork club tonight. He made
no reference to his Investigations of tho
alleged Beef trust or of the western oil
fields, but he made a plea for publicity In
the conduct of affairs of large corpora
tions. .
He said that publicity In the beginning
was better than the Infliction of a penalty
after a wrong had been done. He said that
the business of the country could do much
to assist the government by having the
fullest investigation regarding their meth
ods of doing business.
Mr. Garfield will leave tomorrow morn
ing for Topeka, and after finishing his work
there he will go to California.
there was, of course, considerable rejoicing.

STRANGER'S MONEY IS GOOD
Visitor In Poker Came Displays Roll
nf Ten Dollar .Votes and
Gets InVratlaated.
On Wednesday tho attcntlnn of tho secret
service bureau was called to the fact that
a stranger, who whs mixed up In a game
of poker, was unusually flush with the
"buffalo" 110 silver certificates and the
presumption was that they were counter
feit. The stranger submitted the bills to
the examination of bank experts, under
the direction of Captain Webb of the secret
service bureau, and the bills were found
to be genuine.
The total amount of counterfeit money
located and recovered in Omaha and South
Omaha for the present month Is but an.
even $6. Of this a $5 counterfeit gold piece
was recovered Monday and a tl silver
counterfeit piece was recovered from one
of the banks Wednesday. These are re
garded as but "floaters" left over from a
year or two ago. No new counterfeit coins
or bills have been discovered for over a
month, and the presumption of the secret
service bureau Is that Nebraska Is now
being given a clean berth by the profes
sional counterfeiters.
Over In Iowa, which Is attached to the
pecret servire district of Nebraska, only
$2.25 counterfeit coins have been discov
ered during the month of April thus far.
This small amount was gathered from the
banks In different parts of the state of
Iowa and are merely collections accumu
lated from time to time during the past
month or two. In the month of March no
counterfeit money was unearthed In
Omaha at all, and only 29 cents. In the
form of lead nickels, were found In Iowa
for that month that had succeeded In get
ting into circulation. Thes coins were
worked on slot machines over In Council
Bluffs.
