July 19.-Senatlonal specula tion Is going on on the Berlin Bourse In the shares of the Deutche Luxemburgtsche Mining company, mhlrh today recorded a Jump of 20 per cent, making a total rise of fA per cent since June 3D. The Bourse Is much puzzled over the meaning of this speculation, which recalls many features of the great struggle over the Hibernla coal mines last summer between- the banks and the Prussian treasury department to secure control of the mines. Various rumors are In olrculatlon In explanation of the present campaign. The Deutche Luxem burgische Is a creation of the Darmstaedter bank, which reorganized It three years ago from two bankrupt Iron and coal companies, thp Differdlngen and the Danmenbaum. According to one version, another bank Is trying to secure control, but another and apparently the more correct explanation is that the Deutsche Luxemburgtsche com pany Is about to enter Into a fusion with several other concerns. The latter version obtains color through the fact that three of the greatest coal and Iron magnates in the Essen region are now In Berlin and that the board of di rectors of the Deutsche Luxemburglsehe company will meet them. It Is expected that a gigantic combination will be ef fected. The Deutache Luxemburglsche com pany has a capital of J6.ooo.oou and 14.SuO.000 In debentures. It owns furnaces and roll ing mills patterned after the American railway system. The chairman of Its board of directors Is Director Dlfenburg of the Darmstaedter bank, who visited the United States In 1903 to study American methods.

STRONG ADVOCATE OF PROHIBITORY LAW ConTleted of Disturbing; Peace and Carrying" Concealed Weapons After Relolrlaar la Destruction of Saloons by Dynamite. IOLA, Kas., July 19.-E. H. Funston, former congressman from this district and father of General Frederick Funston. was today. In police court, found guilty of disturbing the peace and with having car ried concealed weapon. He was fined $5 on each charge and the costs of the suits were charged against him, making a total Of 131.56. The charges against Mr. Funston grew out of the wrecking by dynamite by a temperance fanatic on July 10 of three Iola "Joints" or saloons. The explosions followed an agitation against the saloons. In which Governor Hoch was appealed to In an effort to secure the enforcement of the state prohibition law. Intense excite ment followed the act of the dynamiter and for three days the city was crowded with people, who came from many points of the state to view the wreckage caused and to Join In a hunt for the dynamiter. Funston'. Warm Unaoigr. During the height of the excitement Mr. Funston, It was charged, had made In flammatory utterances to crowds that gath ered about him on the streets. When Patrolman Cannon tried to persuade Mr. Funston to desist a quarrel between the two ensued and Funston. It was alleged, attempted to drsw a revolver. Funston was arrested and a formal charge made against him, after which he was released upon his own recognizance. In the trial, which was attended by hun dreds of persons, one witness testified that Mr. Funston had said: "I am glad that some one had nerve enough to do It. The only regret Is that the men (saloon keepers) weren't there to be blqwn out of their buildings. If the police officers had done their duty this .would not have happened. I have no sorrow In my heart for the men along this street who have suffered losses because they have done business with these men and have not put a stop to the saloon business," Patrolman Cannon testified that Mr. Funston had threatened bis life and had cursed him. "That's a lie," interrupted the defendant. Mr. Funston testified Mn his own de fense. He admitted he had come to town armed with a shotgun and had purchased shot on that day. He asserted that he wanted the shot to protect his property, located some distance out from Iola, against a threat that had been made to burn It. He denied having made Inflam matory utterances. Judge Eulogises Prisoner. The loss caused by the explosions was estimated at $100,000 and the alleged dyna miter. C. L, Melvin, Is still at large, al though a warrant has been issued for his arrest and bands of men have been search ing for him. " ' Judge Adair, in sentencing Mr; Funston, said: "It Is with great regret that I have been called upon to render judgment in the matter. While this is not a matter of testimony, I wish to state that I have known Mr. Funston ever since I have been In Kansas; that I know him to be an honorable, upright citizen and a man of exemplary character and reputation. I heartily sympathize with his feeling re garding the Jornt question. A man who regards his family and children would naturally resent anything that would tend to disgrace or Injure them. "I do not wish It understood that ' any Judgment I may render intimates that I do not sympathise with the sentiments and feelings of those who believe In the en forcement of the prohibitory law. I have decided the matter, disregarding the stand ing of the defendant, public sentiment and everything except the law and the evi dence." Continuing, Judge Adair said that the testimony showed that the defendant came to town with guns and bought ammuni tion; that he made loud utterances before several crowds that gathered about him on the streets and that his language ad dressed to Patrolman Cannon was insulting. Mr. Funston was not in court when the decision was rendered. His attorney im mediately filed a motion of an appear to the district court. There were but few persons in the court room at the time and there was no show of a demonstration. Later Mr. Funston, who had come Into town from his country residence, said that be had not expected a favorable decision and was therefore not disappointed. Mr. Funston Talks. Mr. Funston said: There Is not a citizen f Kansas who be lieves that I am guilty of disturbing the peace. We shall win out in the district court. I have received letters from all over Kansas expressing sympathy and the belief that I am innocent. The people are waking up. The dynamiting of the iola saloons was most deplorable, but at the same time It will answer a good purpose In stirring the people of Kansas to action. It will call attention anew to the fact that the same conditions exist In most every Kansas town. The prohibition law will be enforced. The time is coming soon. We must not leave it to a few preachers and enthusiasts The bone and sinew, the solid men of the coun try, must take part. The law must be amended. The time will come when a member of the legislature will have to say whether he favors tr,nirihn. Ing the law. The law should be amend. -d I mu inmi . Hiimn Keeper wno presists In the violation of the law would be disfranchised He Is not fit to participate in the govern ment. Counties should be entitled to the assistance of the attorney general when they elect worthless officials. I have faith in Governor Hoch. It is a big question He Is going slow, but he will act. and the prohibitory law will win. e CANNON FOUND IN CANADA Former I'tah Official Accused' Swindling the Stnte Is Inder Arrest nt Lethbrldge. of SALT LAKE CITY.

A subpoena was served on Mr. Moroslnl. whose legal representative said that while Mr. Moroslnl was not at all well because of the heat, he expected to leave his house In a few days and would do all he could to assist the district attorney's offlce. An nouncement was madV tonight that among the subscriptions to "Fads and Fancies'" were those of John Jacob Astor, Clarence H. Mackay and Senator Chauncey M. De pew for $2,600 each and Perry Belmont for $1,(00. Mr. Lauterbach had not replied to the district attorney's request for a thorough examination of the company's books to night.

MANIPULATION OF FUNDS DISHONEST Prostituting; of Publle or Private Trusts by Trustee More Dan. eroua than Coarser Kinds of Theft. MILWAUKEE, July 19 Justice David J. Brewer of the United States supreme court delivered a short address before a 'large assemblage of life Insurance agents In the Masonic building In this city tonight. He devoted most of his talk to modern graft and praised President Roosevelt In his ef forts to make public affairs pure and honest. He said: This has been a year which may be characterized as one of great Insurance up heaval. The result has been prejudicial to the Interests of a certain company and also to the interests and business of others. 1 believe there will result great benetlt to Insurance business throughout the world. The moment private pecuniary gain is sought through the advantage of a trust someone is guilty of grafting. For In stance, trust funds are the funds of this Insurance company and this and that bank and this and that trust company. We will take these trust funds, put our assets In their place and let the Insurance company carry them until we can sell them with a profit. I he company takes a risk of carry ing them until such time as they can sell lhe assets, the Insurance company may be ,ty ,iS interests in lull as It has been doing theretofore, but the men who have done this have not fulfilled their trust with an eye single to the company's benefit. They have sought to make these funds inure to their private gain and cast upon the company the risn, great or small, of that speculation. Why. do you suppose for a moment that Mr. Ryan paid W.&uu.wO for iroierty which under no legtl cir cumstances could pay him more than I or 4 per cent Interest, with the Idea that all he could get would be this Interest. There may be such philanthropists, but they are not connected with Insurance companies.

I am not speaking now about the coarser kind of grafting, such as buying votes, paying money, etc., which we ail condemn. I have reference to the more insidious ways that the one holding public ottlce is not carrying on tne uuties or that office with an eye single to his trust. In prostituting in one way or an other -that office for his own gain or the gain of his friends. Take the presiuent of the United States. Along last winter. San Domingo put It self on a financial tooting. Suppose the president had acted secretly and advised his friends to buy up Ban Domingo bonds. Would not that shock the people of the country? Yet the government would lose nothing and some would be private gain ers, buppose the United States supreme court Justices would give out Information in advance of certain decisions? Wouldn't you revolt at such a transaction. It would be unworthy this would be grafting. A month ago today I was In Tennessee. I went to the Hermitage where lie the re-ma:.- of Andrew JacKson, and I thank God today that there was anothur equally honest president, and it seemed as if I coulu hear falling from-the lips of Theo dore Roosevelt the words, "public affairs must and shall he pure and honest," no president can do all' the work. No presi dent or congress can do all this. It re quires not merely action of officials of the i government, but action of everyone that the administration of publlo affairs, be pure an4 honest. . He concluded by saying: The great body of the citizen! are loyal to the great work of building up the nation and the Almighty will help us, and that He will help us I do believe and that we shall be true to the traditions of our fath ers, I equally believe.
