Young Financier in Jail for
Stealing Profits.
BUT WHO WAS BEHIND HIM?
Collateral for Loan to Heinze Taken
From Trust Company and Sold.
Powerful People Said to
Re Real Criminals.
NEW YORK. Aug. 10. Donald L
Persch. an ambitious younir financier. Is
In the Tombs tonight In default of J50.000
ball and thereby hangs a tale of tangled
finance through which somebody In Wall
street nipped F. Augustus Helnze. the
one-time copper king, for $40,000.
Persch U especially charged with the
larceny of $40,000. a profit obtained by
the sale of 15.60 shares of Ohio Copper
common and 4.S00 shares of Davis-Daly
Topper common, which, an agent for
Helnze placed with the Windsor Trust
Company as security for a lonn of JS0.0OO.
In some manner as yet unexplained the
stock was not held by the bank, but
was turned over to a clerk acting for
Tersch. and at the latter's office was
thrown on the curb market and sold for
approximately J90.0OO. How Persch ob
tained the capital to carry through the
deal and why the stock was relinquished
by the trust company are points yet to
be cleared.
Says "Higher-ups" InvolTed.
After his arrest. Persch Intimated
that men "higher up" were In the
transaction, but refused to fay any
more, upon the advice of counsel.
He was arraigned late this afternoon
before UifgisT.-lf and. aftr effosta
to have his bail reduced to l.ool
failed, was commuted to the Tombs.
In oppoalng the reduction of bail.
Assistant District Attorney Lott sJd
to the court:
"There are other powerful people be
hind the man. your honor, and he
should have no difficulty In furnishing
150.000 bail. On Aucust 6 this man
had W5.nnft In his possession. Fifty
lliousand dollars ball Is not too much."
Hired Broker to Sell Stock.
Persch was arrested on statements
made by John Sherwood, another note
broker. He said at Persch s request he
procured the securities from the trust
company after having obtained the J)")
for the purpose from 1 J. FVlds Co..
dealers' In curb stocks. He thought the
transaction entirely lfgitlmate and was
ready to act for a percentage. He ex
hibited orders from Persch to redeem the
securities and to put them on the market.
The foregoing features seem plain
enoug '. but behind tliem Is the mystery
cf how Persch know where J. M. Joyce,
represent. r.g r. Augustus Heinze. placed
the securities.
How l'.d Mock Get on Curb.
While there is nothing to indlrat" that
the bank 'e criminally responsible, Mr.
Joyce saye It was stipulated when the
loan was made that the ock was to be
pinned to his note and retained. Shortly
after, however, the certificates appeared
on the curb and an investigation began.
The trust company says it was acting
merely as an apent in placing the loan;
and tMs Agent now appears to have been
Sherwood, representing young Fersch.
who in turn Intimates that he was actins
for tome one above him.

Local Man Noncommittal as to
Whether He Would Accept
Pastorate or Not.
LOSAJ?GELES. Aug. 10. Rev. Robert
J. Burdette formally tendered his resig
nation as pastor of the Temple Baptist
Church in this city today and the resig
nation wlU be accepted. Rev. Mr. Bur
dette Is ill at his summer home "Even
tide" at Clifton-by-the-Sea. and his
resignation was made upon the advice of
his physician. He asked that he be
made pastor emeritus, and this request
will be granted. He has been pastor of
the Temple Baptist Church since Its
organisation,. July . 1903-
It Is thought probable the pastorship
left vacant will be tendered to Rev. J.
Whltcomb Brougher. of Portland, Or.
Rev. Mr. Burdette's condition Is much
Improved today, but he is still confined
to his room.
"Dr. Burdette Is a great and brilliant
man." said Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougher
last night. "To know him Is to love
him. I am glad to account him my per
sonal friend. I was greatly grieved at
the news of his Illness, and rejoice to
know he Is improving. He has one of
the sargest and best churches In this
country. The Temple Auditorium seats
4000. and this magnificent building and
congregation are the results of Dr. Bur
dette's own work. He ought to be re
tained there as pastor forever. Not a
word has been said to me about taking
up his work in case he should have to
drop It."
Further than this Dr. Brougher would
give no Intimation of his probable ac
tion should a call come to him from this
church. He preached there two years
ago this month, ulling the pulpit for
three weeks," at which time people were
turned away from The church, unable to
gain admission. Dr. Brougher has
turned down calls from Influential
churches In the East, among them Tre

an agent for the Ben Franklin Com
pany. Howard then made his appearance and
stated that he wished to buy some of
these stocks, as he had heard that
Strange possessed some. Strange im
mediately sought out Mason, and after
procuring a large quantity of shares from

HOOKER PROJECT STARTLES
Extended. Debate Expected on
Scheme to Issue Bonds for Rec
lamation Work on Gigantic
Scale in United States.
SPOKANE. Wash., Aug. 10. Glfford
Pinchot. Chief Forester of the United
States, caused perhaps the chief sen
satlon at today's session of the Nation
al Irrigation Congress.
A ftve-minute ovation was given him
when he took the rostrum, and similar
cheering and "three cheers and a tiger"
were given when he had concluded.
Mr. Pinchot took occasion to de
nounce the activity of the water-power
trust which, he said, though still In
its inception, bids fair to overshadow
all otner trusts. He charged that the
Irrigation Congress is being made the
tool of the corporate interests whose
agents are being made members of
important committees for the purpose
of domineering the activities of the
congress. . '
Remarks Become Personal.
"And," said he. "I believe I could
point out one genial and urbane gen
tleman; an attorney for the interests,
who is here now."
Mr. Pinchot spoke in part aa follows:
"The first thing we need In this
country, as President Roosevelt so well
set forth in that great message which
told what he had been trying to do for
the American people, is equality of op
portunity for every cltlien. No man
should have less, and no man ought
to ask for any more. Equality of op
portunity Is the real object of our laws
and Institutions.
"There could be no better Illustra
tion of the eager, rapid, unwearied ab
sorption by capital of the rights which
belong to all the people than the
waterpower trust, not yet formed but
In rapid process of formation. This
statement is true, but not unchal
lenged. We are met at every turn by
the indignant denial of the water
power "interests. They tell us that
there is no community of interest
among them, and yet they appear year
after year at these congresses by their
paid attorneys, asking for your Influ
ence to help them remove the few re
maining obstacles to their perpetual
and complete absorption of the remain
ing waterpowers. They tell us It has
no significance that the General Elec
tric interests are acquiring great
groups of waterpowers in various parts
of the United States, and dominating
the power market in the region of each
group.
Early Action Is Vital.
"And whoever dominates power,
dominates all Industry. Have you
ever seen a few drops of oil scattered
on the water spreading until they
formed a continuous film, which put
an end at once to all agitation of the

Height of 18,3 7 3 Feet Is Attained
and Then Descent Is Made
to Avoid Storm.
CHALONS, France. Aug. 10. The bal
loon Sirius. which let here Sunday, has
succeeded in flying over the Alps under
the pilotage of M. Spelterlne, carrying
three passengers. The highest altitude
attained was 18,373 feet.
A staff correspondent of the Figaro who
was a passenger in the Sirius sends to
his paper a thrilling narrative of the voy
age. He says that after crossing Mont Blanc
the wind blew the balloon away from the
plains and up among the mountains.
Night was fast falling and a storm was
rising; beneath were nothing but perpen
dicular walls of rock and narrow
gorges. Only five sacks of ballast were
left and to have continued the flight
would have meant extreme danger.
M. Spelterlno chose a narrow ledge at
an altitude of 1800 metres for landing. To
miss It meant death to all. but with mar
velous skill he brought the balloon down
and landed at the edge of a chasm. - The
balloon was deflated Just as the storm
broke.
MILAN. Aug. 10. The balloon Alba
tross, piloted by Lieutenant Mina, today
ascended to a height of 11.SO0 meters, or
over seven miles, which is believed to be
the world's record. 1
HACKETT DIVORCE IS OFF
Mary Mannerlng and Actor-Manager
Become Reconciled.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. (Special.) That
James K. Hackett and his wife, Mary
Mannerlng, have become reconciled, and
that Miss Mannerlng, who In private life
Is Mrs. Hackett,, has taken steps to with
draw an action for divorce which she in

tonight.
Mrs. Hackett. with her young daughter,
is now abroad. Mr. Hackett is In this
city, and the announcement that the dif
ferences which resulted In the separation
have been adjusted came tonight from an
authoritative source.
Mr. Hackett and Miss Mannerlng were
married March 2, 1897, after they had ap
peared together in several plays. They
acted together for some time after their
marriage, but several seasons ago they

LAND APPRAISED SOON

and Some Valuable Timber
Claims Are to Be Secured
at Very Little Cost.
SPOKANE, Aug. 10. Judge Witten
resumed the drawing of the Coeur
d'AIene Reservation at 9 o'clock this
morning. The crowd, small at first, in
creased son to several hundred, but at
no time was there the same enthusl
asm as was manifested on the first
day, probably due to the fact that num
bers after 1500 are considered of little
value.
Today Judge Wltten added several to
his large force of clerks. These are
busy proof reading, typewriting names
and sending cards to the winners.
One Tangle In 3000 Names.
One of the interesting features of
the day was the number of persons
calling at the Land Office to make sure
they are the genuine winners of the
numbers. Sometimes two men of the
same name appear, and the Judge hands
each a piece of paper upon which he
asks each to write his name, age,
height, etc, and these must correspond
with the particulars on the applica
tion. The first rejection of an application
occurred today when the name of A. IX
Boughmay. of Charlotte,' Mich., through
Agent Edwin L. Coy, of the same place,
was read. It was rejected on the
ground that Ellerton R. Bayles, the
notary public of that town, did not
specify that he was an authorized
notary to make out papers for land
drawing. Out of the 3000 drawn, this
is found to be the only one defectively
executed.
This Name Staggers.
The man employed to call out the
names as the envelopes were opened
met many that wer almost unpro
nounceable, but he was completely
staggered today when he .ran across
MIecylplawadolf JakTewicz, of Aber
deen, Wash., who drew number 2699.
Word from the camps of the apprais
ers who are on the Couer d'AIene reser
vation states that the land will be
appraised in plenty of time for filing
in April, 1910. It is stated that the
timber will not be estimated any more
than to classify as timber, agricultural
or grazing land. This means that the
Government will have only an approxi
mate idea as to the real value of each
quarter.
No Drawing Today.
There will be no drawing tomorrow,
but on Thursday morning the 14 cans
containing the 87,000 applications for
Flathead lands will be opened. There
will be 6000 drawn fot the 2500 claims.
No timber lands, are Involved.
Next Monday the drawing for the
Spokane Reservation begins.

Instead or Calling Physician, Par
ents Try Charms for Sum
mer Complaint.
READING, Pa., Aug. 10. (Special.)
Coroner Strasser Is busy securing evi
dence in the case of the six Infants who
died since noon yesterday, after alleged
treatment by witch doctors for noth
ing but Summer complaint. He has re
ported the matter to the District
Attorney.
Reading is known for Its many witch
doctors, and there have been cases in
court time and time again of people
who said that neighbors "verhexed"
them. No sooner does a child become
ill in this section than the neighbors
rush In and declare the child is -"ver-hexed."
The result 1 that a pow-wow
doctor with incantations is sought.
Several of the children who died were
simply treated with mystic words, while
a red cotton cord was passed over the
body. In other cases a bag containing
charmed words was hung about the
neck.
"Many children die every Summer
from Summer complaint who do not
have attending physicians," said the
Coroner. "I find that parents are of
the middle class and spend their money
calling in old "women who make a
practice of pow-wowlng and using
charmed words."
WOUNDED INDIAN IS STOIC
With Bullet Near Backbone, Walks
Unaided From Hospital.

With a bullet lodged near his spinal
column under the shoulder blade, and
with a bullet hole through the fleshy part
of one leg, Jim White, the Indian who
was yesterday shot by Marshal Owen, of
Adams, not only refuses to die, but he
spurned the temporary hospital provided
for him In tho mall town, and this
morning walked, unaided, to his tepee on
the reservation, a distance of several
miles.
Whether this unusual performance will
result in the death of the wounded man
Is not known. Following the shooting
yesterday, a physician made an unsuc
cessful attempt to locate tha. bullet by
probing.

New Haven Road Confirms Rumor,

NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Aug. 10. When
officials of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad Company were asked
today If the road had refused to haul
free of charge a special train bearing the
delegation of Japanese business men who
are to tour the United States next Fall,
the following statement was issued:
"The report Is true In that the New
Haven Company declined to haul the spe
cial train free, but it is without truth in
the reason assigned for the company's
action." No reason was given.
One railroad man, in discussing the
matter, said that he believed there were
certain provisions of the Hepburn law
which prohibited the company from do
ing business on this basis.

PAN TANS WORRY GOVERNOR
Removal of Superior Judges
May Be Demanded.
MESSAGE HEARD THURSDAY
New Legislation Will Be Recom

Still Silent Many Politician
Gather at State Capital.
OLYMPIA. Wash.," Aug. 10. (Special.)
More muckraking, the impeachment
trial of J. H. Schively, Insurance Com
missioner, general legislation and poli
tics promise to combine to make the spe
cial session of the Legislature which con
venes tomorrow afternoon one fraught
with factional strife and important pro
cedure. Additional matters that seem to re
quire legislative action have arisen or
have come to light In the 40-day recess
between special sessions that will be the
subjects of executive recommendation.
Governor Hay Is visibly disturbed over
the revelations of .Police Commissioner
Tuerke, of Spokane, relative to the Pan
Tan (all for one, and one for all) poll-
tical organization, and acknowledged to
night that he was so wrought up over
that affair that he had been unable to
reach decisions on other matters. .
The fact that J. Stanley Webster re
cently appointed by Governor Hay to the
additional superior Judgeship In Spo
kane created by the last regular Legis
lature, has acknowledged that he Is a
member of the Pan Tans, la more than
likely to cause the Governor to recom
mend the removal or Impeachment of
Webster and possibly Judges Sullivan
and HInkle, of Spokane, also alleged to
be members, If after legislative investiga
tion the objects of the Pan Tans are
shown to be those represented by Tuerke.
Stain Too Much for Judge.
Governor Hay said tonight that he had
not yet decided upon what course to
pursue. Webster has declined to reveal
what he knows about the Pan Tans, but
has promised to bring about a meeting
of the organization and obtain If pos
sible a public statement. A telegram re
ceived here from Spokane today says
that Webster has suffered a nervous col
lapse and that his physician refuses to
permit callers to see him.
