While Baker was pleading guilty the
Federal grand Jury handed down three
Indictments atcatnst brokers with whom
Baker bad speculated under a false
nam. United States Attorney McNab
said the Indictments were the nrsi 01
their kind in the history of the Fed
eral courta. They named J. C. Wilson,
a member of the New Tork Stock Ex
change; B. A. Wtlbrand, of J. C. Wilson

as "Baker's evil genius," with m com
mand over him which seemed lneaplio-

Brokers knew that Burke had a
"good thing" in Baker, the indictment
charges, and on the strength of bis in
fluence over so profitable a customer,
he left E. F. Hutton A Co, bankers and
broker a to go with J. C. Wilson A Co,
at an Increased salary amounting to
1375 a month.
Burke has left town, but the District

GERMANY'S JVAR CHEST
Mule Known or the $SO,OO0-,O0
Kepi at Spandan Tower.
London Standard.
The report from Berlin that the Ger
man government In the course of Its new
wsr programme plans to triple the
treasure It has stored away in the fa
mous Julius Tower at Spandau haa
caused a revival of the speculation re
garding this great secret horde of 110.
uoo.000 marks (130.000.000), which will
now be Increased to l0.000.0.
More or less mystery haa always sur
rounded the Julius Tower. The mere
mention In Baedeker that the Imperial
military reserves fund of six millions
sterling is kept in the Jullus-Thurra of
the citadel" of Spandau. which la only
eight miles from Berlin, has excited the
curiosity of most every foreign visitor
In the German capital. But sightseers
are not welcome within tha fortifica
tions of Fpandau and there la record of
but one American who ever caught
glimpse of the Interior of the tower.
An officer of the German reserve,
who at one time waa stationed in tha
fortress of Bpandau. but who Is now
living In this country, told yaeterday
something about the tower and the
treasure it holds.
The tower Itself Is not impressive.
It stands In the midst of the citadel
surrounded by barracks and officers'
quarters, and Is not far from the
great arsenals and the manufactories
of war Implements. Directly about It
Is a small cleared square which gives
Just enough room for tha movements
of the small company which does
rusrd duty there. The tower Is cylin
drical and Is built of heavy masonry
with nothing to relieve Its massive ef
fect. It rises about 35 or 40 feet from
the ground and Is almost as thick
through as it la tall.
Entrance to the tower II made
through triple steel doors, each guard
ed by a system of "simultaneous keys"
held by different Individuals, and by a
constantly changing band of sentries.
One set of keys is with the Chancellor
of tre empire and the other with the
president of the committee for the debts
of the empire. The local guardian of the
treasure mas made curator by a decree
of 174. under orders from the Chancel
lor. -
The gold that makes up this "Reich
skrlersechatxa" is in 10-franc pieces,
the very same that were paid as the
French war Indemnity. The gold coin
Is stored away in bags In a doxen small
cabinets or safes built into the walls.
These are on vnrlous levels and are
reached by a spiral staircase.
Twenty-four men usually compose
the guard. Of these eight are continu
ally on duty, tha guard changing every
two hours. The patrol ts made about
the base of the tower, within the tower
and on the top.
Once a year tha amount of the gold
Is certified to by an official reckoning.
The volns are not counted. Instead the
gold is weighed In bulk and minute
fractional differences due to dampness
and other atmospherle conditions are
noted.
The amount of gold In the Julius
Tower haa never varied, and there has
been but one attempt at robbery. This
was by a drunken cobbler of Spandau,
who In some mysterious way, accord
ing to the story, managed to get by
the guards. When he was half way up
he fell and broke his neck. Robert W.
Poindexter. of Los Angeles. Is the
American who got Into trouble with the
Spandau authorities because he got too
near the German treasure.
Mr. Poindexter told the sentinel
that ha wanted to see the commandant,
and marched into the tower while the
soldier's back was turned. He was de
tained until the police could be sum
moned, and then taken before the au
thorities, whom he had difficulty in
convincing of his purpose.
The Julius Tower waa first used by
Frederick the Great aa the Prussian
war chest." The reserve held there
waa turned over to tha empire when
It was founded and the tower Itself
used for the storage of The $30,000.
K. the small fraction of the billion
dollar Indemnity paid by Franca. Tha
money has been kept In reserve to de
fray the expenses of the quick mobili
sation of the German army in case war
should break out It would pay for the
horses and military supplies which are
already contracted for In such an
emergency. It baa bean figured that
tha present 330.009.000 would be ex
hausted In a day and a halt In case war
waa declared.

PENDLETON", Or, April li. (Special.) Tha Roundup this year will
be held September 11, 12 and 1$, and even now preparations are well
under way to make the frontier show better than ever.
That the fame of the Roundup has traveled to foreign lands, and
there kindled the desire of two of the most daring and skilled bucking
horse riders in the world. Is evidenced by a message lately received
here that "Queensland Harry" and "Dick Shurthorp" will sail In June
for America, determined to try their luck with Western cowboys lu
the thrilling events at the hig show. The two buckaroos are the cham
pion bucking horse riders of Australia, and that their ability in stick

when it Is known that these boy ride in an English flat saddle with

She knows she has charms and her
divine duty is to foster those charms.
A wisp of hair becomes disentangled
and her delicately molded arms iro up
In sylph-llke gesture to pat the coiffure
Into shape. The pens oi the men of the
office poise in mid-air.
When the plain girl's hair gets In
front of her eyes she pokes it back with
one hand and goes on hitting the keys
with the other. And if she does lose a
second nobody stops work to watch.
It is hard to reprimand "Pretty" be
cause she is likely to cry. and beauty
in tears is no time-saver in the office.
Then, too, the pretty girl gets married
too quickly after entering business life.
No sooner Is she taught the ways of the
office and becomes accustomed to her
work than she draws her pay and de
parts on her honeymoon.
