Inveighs Against “Rebels.”
He inveighed against men In "rebel”
uniforms being permitted to occupy
forged instrument. He was accused
of having raised a check for $107 to
$30,000, obtaining the money and then
fleeing to the United States. Tho
check was alleged to have been
drawn by J. A. Heap and Adolf Edlef,
manager and cashier of the Bank of
Sonora at Guaymas, Mexico, on the
National Park Bank of New York
and payable to the Alamo National
Bank of San Antonio, Texas, in the
sum of $107.
Yordi was charged with altering
Hie check so as to make it payable to
Ernesto R. Almada Urquijo in the
sum of •130,000. It is charged that ho
passed this check on the Bank of Ja-
lisco, Mexico, collected the full
amount and then immediately left the
country.
Tried in El Paso.
Yordi was first tried Lfiforo the
United States commissioner in this
city. When the commissioner ren-
dered a decision against him he ap-
pealed the case to the United States
District Court, and when this Court
also rendered an adverse decision, he
appealed to the Supreme Court of the
United States. It Is the decision cf
this court of last resort, which is re-
sponsible for the fact that Yoidi will
today have to return to Mexico and
face the charge of forgery.
In'-hls- fight -to avoid extradition
Yordi has had the aid of some of tho
ablest lawyers in this section of I lie
country. He has had the help of
Switzerland, of which country he is
still a citizen. Every device known
to legal science has been employed in
his behalf, hut the only result has
been to stave off the day of final
reckoning.
When Yordi was first arrested on
June. 11, 1908, not quite two months
after the forgery is alleged to have
been committed, he was placed In tho
city jail, but on June 19 was trans-
ferred to,the county jail, where he Ixu3
been ever since,

Democratic senators moved un-
easily about the floor conversing with

When Senator Heyburn had con-
cluded, Senator Bankhead of Alabama
said:
“I am sure the senator from Idaho

300 NEGROES ARM
AGAINST WHITES
Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 7.—Word comes from Hales Bar, where a tug
government lock and dam is under construction, that a bloody race war is
Imminent. Three hundred negroes, armed with Swiss rifles, are lined up
outside the camp and threatening to exterminate the white workmen, ot
whom there are about one hundred and fifty.
Late tonight a telephone message was received at the local police head-
quarters asking for help. At midnight a big touring car loaded with offi-
cers, under command of Caotain Burke, left the city for the camp.
The whites within the camp are practically unarmed and are in fear of
attack any moment.
The direct cause of the trouble between the whites and blacks at the
lock was the appointment of three negro foremen who were given author-
ity over the white workmen.
When the order of William Flaherty, one of the contractors appointing
the negro foremen, went into effect Saturday morning, the white men
walked out and work was suspended. The negroes immediately armed
themselven ant threatened the white men who refused to go back undci
the black foremen. There is a large amount of dynamite stored at the
camp, and should a conflict ensue there is no telling what may be the out-
come.
At 2:30 a. m. this (Tuesday) morning a telephone message from the
lock and dam is to the effect that the police have not yet reached the scene
and that although everything is quiet at this time, an outbreak is expected
at any moment.
At 2:40 a. m. word comes from the scene of the riot that the police with
riot guns have just arrived and the negroes have fallen back. There is
hope that an outbreak will bo delayed at least until morning.
With Exception of One Case
in Twenty-Six All Fines

New York, Feb, 7.—Twenty-six man-
ufacturing firms of tlio Paper Hoard
association indicted by the federal
grand jury last December ns members
of a combination in restraint of trade
took the easiest legal course today
and entered a plea of guilty as an ‘as-
sociation in the United States circuit
court. Fines of $2,(100 each, $32,000
in all, were immediately imposed and
in all except one case were paid in
cash.
Thus ends the second organization
of paper men formed by John H.
Parks. The fibre and Manila combina-
tion met a similar fate in the federal
courts some time ago.
By pleading guilty as corporations
today, the Individuals also indicted in
the paper board association succeeded
in having their indictments squashed.
The association had been in exist-
ence more than four years.

P1NCH0T CALLS UPON COLLEAGUES
TO HAVE ENACTED A BILL ON
WITHDRAWAL OF PUBLIC LANDS
Washington, Feb. 7.—^Conserva-
tion, ihe necessity for the passage
at present session of congress of good
laws for the protection of the natural
resource* o( the United States,” is the
keynote of a report just made to the
national conservation association by
Gifford Pinchot, recently chosen presi-.
deni of the association.
Mr. Pinchot takes up in what he
tails, “a spirit of constructive criti-
cism,” nine hills relating to the con-
servation of natural resources intro-
duced into congress January 18 on
behalf of the secretary of the interior,
one of which has been reported from
the public lands committee, the other
eight being still in the hands of th->
committee.
Ask* for Aid.
Mr. Pinchot calls upon the member*
of the association to put forth strong
efforts to have enacted into law the
bill on the withdrawal of public lands
which has been reported in amended
form from the committee by Senator
Nelson, following conferences b<-
tween the committee and officers of
ihe conservation asoclation. This hill,
Mr. Pinchot thinks, should have the
“unqualified support of the members
of the association
Of the other eight bills he believes
that some merely require amendment
while others must be recast. The coal
bill and the phosphate, oil. asphaltnm
and natnral gas Mil, he reports, ate
Tucson, Ariz., Feb. 7.—Governor
Sloan refused today to honor the re-
quisition papers issued by Governor
Gillett of California for L. B. Adams
the New York millionaire: N- W.
Murphy and Nora McLaughlin, for tho
alleged kidnaping of Adams' son.
Governor Sloan based his refusal
upon the ground ihat Mrs. John S.
Kimball, the boy's grandmother,
whom with Mrs. Adams is fighting for
possession ot him, has not been ap
pointed his guardian. Mrs. Kimball
immediately began habeas corpus pro-
ceedings for the custody of the child.
Twelve private detectives are hero
watching each other to prevent the
boy being hurried into another »late

Arrested in El Paso.
The Adams parly was firth arrested
in this city January 31,< and after a
long consultation with attorneys do
cided to return to California without
requisition papers. They started west
the same night in charge of officers
and bad proceeded as far as Yuroa
when they changed their minis and
refused to cross the line into Califor-
nia. Adams and bis associates wen-
then returned to Tucson, where they
were released on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. Since then a legal bat lie
has been in progress, the tan;-!*! grow
ing each day more complicated. There
is said to be a feeling of profound re-

tectives over the shifting of the ac-

No Anti-Monopoly Law.
‘They wisely separate” he said, “tho
surface of the land from the under-
lying minerals and provide for the dis-
posal of the minerals by lease and
not by sale.
“But the coal bill,” he asserted,
"contains no sufficient anti monopoly
clause. The clause that purposes to
regulate rates to he charged the pub-
lic is so framed that it may be evaded
with ease.”
“Another clause of the bills.” he said j tion from this city to Tucson.
“may reduce the standard of mining j -------
to ihe wasteful lejcl of the prevail-
ing commercial practice.”
In regard to the bill for survey of
railroad land grants he expresses the
opinion that it will enable the rail-
roads properly to perfect . titles to
their lands "but it overlooks the long
pending understanding between cer-
tain of the roads and the forest ser-
vice for the return of railroad lands

UADALAJARA, Mexico, Feb. 7.—
Judge Palafox said tonight he
would carry out the recommen-
dations of the prosecuting attorney
and sentence James A. Cook, the
American conductor, to two year* and
ten months' imprisonment.
The prosecuting attorney claims
Cook is guilty of criminal negligence.
The prisoner will be given the right
of proprietory liberty, which mean*
that after half of the sentence has
been served his release on parole is
possible.
Judge Palafox has signified his
willingness lo allow Cook hail in a
sum of from $1,500 to $2,500 gold.
History of Cook Case.
Tlie history of the Cook case ex-
tends back many months and has to
do with the extensive robbery of
freight train* on the Guadalajara di-
vision of the National Railways.
As a result of these robberies the
railroad was compelled to pay heavy
claims made by local merchants. Ar*
rests were ttihde, hut few convictions
resulted, and the division official*
finally laid Ihe whole mutter before*
the general officials in the City of
Mexico with the request, that federal
officers be asked to urge on the Gua-
dalajara authorities the necessity of
putting an end to the railroad rob-
beries.
