Are Willing to Grant Certain Important Concessions CHICAGO, Aug. 11—Efforts to bring about a peaceful settlement of the dispute between the street car companies of this city and the employees were resumed today. While no definite action was expected to result from two conferences scheduled to be held In the af- N terooon, yet It waa hoped by both sides that the negotiations would clear away many obstacles which thus far have blocked the way to a solution of the problem. Union officials were still firm in their demands for modification of the wage schedule proposed by the traction officials to include in the maximum •scale of 30 cents an hour men who had been with the company ten years instead of only those of 15 years' experience. While still reluctant to grant any further concessions to the men the street car officials apparently were wiling to accede to those demands lfi they could be dealt with without paving the way for additional concessions. STILL REMAINS IN GAOL THE SLICK STOCK BROKER WHO ROBBED F. AUG. HEINZE INTERESTING STORY IS TOLD OF TANGLED FINANCE NEW YORK, Aug. 11—With a second charge lodged against him, Dona.d L. Persch, the young note broker, who was arrested charged with the larceny of copper stocks belonging to F Aug. Heinze, Is still a prisoner tonight and while there were no additional arrests today, the district attorney's office has ascertained that he was not alone in the transactions. The case will bo placed before the grand Jury tomorrow and the evidence at hand, it is said, will reveal a systematic scheme worked, not only in this city, but in Philadelphia and Boa- ton with stocks supposed to be tucked safely in the vaults of banks, but which have In reality been relinquished to individuals who placed them on the market at a profit. Though Mr. Heinze, according to Wal» Street analysis of the affair, was at first thought to be the particular victim It came out through the district attorney's office that other men have suffered likewise. One man at least was thus nipped. He is J. M. Everett nf Boston whose New York broker, W. Mllliken, made the additional charge against young Persch today. According to that firm Persch negotiated a loan of $7000 on stock owned by Mr. Everett. The stock In question was 100,000 shores of the Red Pine Oil com- pany and the name of Henry RIsborough of Philadelphia appears as the man who furnished the money. Coincident with one of Mr. Dlsborough's references was Charles Katz, the Brooklyn brewer, who has been mentioned In the Heinze loan case. The method in ihe Everett case, according to the charge made today, wns similar to thnt through which the Heinze copper stocks were put on the cprb. that Is the stocks were hypothecated after having been put up as security, Carlos Warfleld, vice-president of the Heinze Copper company, Is also said to have lost considerable money throneh the same stock shifting games. Witness after witness was questioned at the district attorneys' ofifice today, and further developments are expected tomorrow. The "men higher up" whom Persch asserted were Involved with him bave not as yet been definitely pinned down. The young broker tried hard to obtain his release through habeas corpus proceedings today but after argu- ment In the supreme court decision was reserved and with his hail still standing at $50,000 he was forced to go back to the Tombs. On the basis of the checks signed hy Persch, which were unearthed lodav. the district attorney's office estlmntcd that the profits from the sale of Helnzo stock was approximately $5,000. One indictment at least will be returned by the grand jury according to assistant district attorney Nott, but he Intimated that there was a genius behind the whole affair, although he would not say who the man was.

The day was ideal, the cool breeze from the water tempering the heat of the sun, and making some pause to consider if a mistake had not been made in not providing heavier wraps for tbe occasion. Arriving at Proctor about 11 o'clock preparations were at once made for feeding the llttlo folk, no small task by the way, after which the mothers and fathers partook of their fare.

Snow having preserved as much as possible the natural beauties, while at tlie same time providing tables and other accessories which assist materially in carrying out the necessary details of a picnic.

Fenton, a hotel keeper of Mlddletown, N.Y., yesterday, bad started out with the intention of getting even with three other men with whom he waa at enmity. Fenton was an enemy who had a liand in sentencing him to prison for stealing a tray of diamonds in Newark, N.J., according to statements made by members ot the New York detective department today. The detectives said that McSorley was _ this city on Friday last and when he was encountered on the Bowery he was locked up aB a suspicious ,character. He was later discharged but not before he had made a number of threats in conversation with the detec'Uves. The latter say they thought nothing of the threats at tho ■time, believing it to he the braggadocio of the man. McSorley they now say mentioned chief of police Cosgrove of Newark. Fenton, a burglar known as "Iron Gaul Kid," and another underworld member as belonging to the gang that had turned against him and every member of; whicli he bad vowed to kill. McSorley was particularly vindicative against Fen'ton, the detectives say. They quote him as asserting: "Fenton was my bosom friend for years. We have been boosters for fake shows together. He was to be put on tlie jury and It was fixed that be was to stand for acquittal no matter what evidence was brought in against me.

Oh -22 DOO Nugget Gold Mines Bid EDITORIAL NOTE8 One of the best possible evidences of improved conditions in the mining industry lies In this fact that not for years have there been so few miners out of work. If the McBrlde government would only resign and Mr. John Oliver be appointed to run the affairs of the province, everything would be all right—in Mr. John Oliver's eyes. The Victoria Post says: "Not so long ago it waB generally believed that there was nothing in the Kootenay but mountains and mines. Now we read of one of the largest spot-cash land deals recorded in the interior of the province having been made In Nelson this week, whereby 2,000 acres were sold for ?45,000. When the Kootenay mines are worked out, and that will not be for many generations, it will still be a revenue producer from its agricultural lands." By the way, If Collier's was dead anxious to supply some country with a national anthem why did it not begin at home, where charity always should. The United States is in at least as great need of a national anthem as Is Canada. The News is in receipt of a letter signed "One Who Is Afraid to Uo Home in the Dark," but regrets that tbe standing rule of the paper against the publication of anonymous correspondence prevents its appearnce, as a matter of the greatest importance to the boating public is dealt with. In the letter complaint Is made that many launch owners do not carry lights at night, thereby making boating dangerous for small craft in the evening, and the suggestion is offered that all boats should carry lights at night. The suggestion Ib a good one, and it may be remarked that so far as launches, at any rate, are concerned, they are required by regulation to carry lights and their owners can be prosecuted for not doing so. Any launch owner who neglects to comply with the law ln this respect and persists in cruising about after dark runs the risk of being held responsible for someone's death. Would it not be better for such launch owners to equip their craft with lights? Kamloops ih now getting anxious to secure some of the tourist trade. In /a recent issue the Inland Sentinel of that city said*. "It is tbe intention of the governor general to spend a week or so fishing in the Windermere district after he has paid nis official visit to the Yukon. It Is fast becoming tbe fashion of public men to come west for a holiday and rest, and it would be well to make a special effort to keep the attractions offered by tills district before them and the general public. There Is no better field in the province than this for the angler and hunter, and that tlifs fact is well recognised by a few wideawake ones Is shown by the regularity with which they return for the sport year after year. But wo should not he content with tliat; an effort should be made to make more widely known just what we can offer to this special class or holiday seekers. To this end special invitations might be issued, either by ■Sfihe board of trade or some otlier organisation to prominent men throughout Canada, to spend a few days amid the forest.-;, streams and lakes in this district To betin with, Earl Grey mi^ht bo asked to take his next outing here." integrity of our system of government, and fuller and freer expression and absolute legal protection for the party voters and their duly authorized representatives in the exercise of their functions in primary elections and party conventions."

COMMUNICATIONS Wants the Hotel Here To the Editor of The Dally News; Sir—I was Immensely delighted to see from the report of tlie board of trade meeting held recently that the C.P.R. had decided to erect a hotel in or near Nelson. There can be no doubt as to the benellt that the neighborhood would receive from this proceeding. Most of us living on the west arm of Kootenay lake are naturally very curious, not to say anxious, to know whereabouts in Nelson or In its vicinity the hotel will bo built. Of course, the railway company has to pay the piper and will naturally exercise ils right to c-iU the time, and whatever its decision mny he 1 have no doubl It will he exercised from a businesslike and common-sense standpoint. At the same time there are many that are hoping when the C.P.R. come lo a decision as to the locality that they may Hnd II In their Interests as well as in the interests of Nelson and the neighborhood to build either In Nelson or very near it. I am sure I nm to be pardoned for drawing attention to the desirability of Nelson as the site for the new hotel when you consider what an excellent centre It is for the tourist traffic of the Kootenays, situated so near the delightful Bonnington falls, the Kokanee glacier and the SiX-Mlle lakes. The tourist of this neighborhood re* quires good mountain climbing, and surely in tlie neighborhood of Nelson he can have it to his heart's content.

Our Btock of freah and salted meats it unsurpassed in the city. Give ue a trial order, It will be followed by others. Fish twice a week from the coast, Nelson there nre some excellent drives, such as tlie Silver King road, the road to Bonnington Palls, Forty- Nine creek road, tho road to the head of Six-Mile creek, the Molly Gibson wagon road (12 miles in length), that would delight tlie heart of any tourist. Then again there is tlie old tote road from Waneta to Nelson, built, as I am given lo understand to bring In supplies while the Nelson & Fort Shepherd railway was in the making. Of course, I am not 'n a position to say whether that road could be opened out or not, and If It could, at what expense, but l have been told If this was done automobillsts could then ride in from Spokane to Nelson. I hq*e heard It is feared that Ihe erection of a hotel by the C.P.R. might possibly injure the existing hotels in Nelson. I think it will not. and certainty the experience at Victoria would negative such a suggestion, as since the erection of the Empress hotel there tourist and other traffic has so increased that it is often difficult to get accommodations ill any hotel in Victoria.

SUttJECT 0FM INQUEST DEATH OF NELSON MAN AT VIC- TORIA INVESTIGATED PASSED AWAY ON THE EVE OF HIS MARRIAGE James Alnger, who was employed aB a fireman on the steamer Kuskanook 1'or about a year previous to his leaving Nelson a little over a montli ago, died on tne eve of his wedding, in Victoria on Tuesday, July 28 under tragic circumstances. The deceased was a resident of Nelson tor about 18 months and was a native of Cornwall, England. He was 30 years of age and waa a reservist ln the Uritlsh army. While here he assisted in the instruction o£ the members of the signal corps of. the 102nd regiment. As a result of his death his fiance, Mrs. Minnie Thomas, demanded an enquiry, basing her contention that suspicious circumstances surrounding his death on tho fact that Alnger had told her that he had been poisoned. Concerning the Inquest, tbe Victoria Colonist says: That James Alnger, the young Corn- Ishman who died suddenly last Tues- ay, was the victim of heart disease and was not done to death by poisoning, was the verdict of the coroner's Jury at this morning's Inquest. The testimony of. Dr. Robertson, who was called, but did not reach the deceased's bedside until nfter death, did not disclose anything sensational. The result of his post mortem examination was the discovery that Alnger had been suffering from inflammation of the heart and lhat under ordinary circumstances death was natural. The doctor deposed that he had been asked to attend the sick man at his 'boarding house, 1202 Blanchard street, at about noon on Tuesday. When he arrived he found deceased dead. His examination has failed to disclose any external evidences of violence. There were no signs of chemicals or Irritant poisons about the month. The limbs were swollen. He had concluded that the death was the outcome of heart trouble or klndey trouble and had accordingly issued a certificate. In his post morten examination he had found the development of caute pneumonia in the upper lobe of tha right lung and a pronounced enlargement and Inflammation of the heart. The other organs were normal. He had removed the stomach but had not subjected the contents to any tests. It was his opinion that Alnger had been killed by heart affection described. He declared thnt, ln his opinion, the fatal termination of, the ailment was wliat might have been looked for. Mrs. Louis Freeman, the proprietress of the establishment at which deceased boarded, testified that Alnger had secured lodgings at her house last June. The first Indication of serious illness occurred last Wednesday. But be had gone out every day since Sunday. It was his intention to go to the hospital on Monday, but, changing his mind, he announced that he would go the next day. At noon on Tuesday she and others had been attracted by the noise of a fall and rushing to the young man's room, found him on the floor. He was alive when found but before Dr. Robertson, who was summoned, reached the house he hnd passed away. Mrs. Minnie Thomas, who was to have married Alnger, and who met the latter here on his arrival from Nelson about three weeks ago for that purpose explained that she had made his acquaintance about 18 months ago while travelling from England. He was an engineer. Her last conversation with him took place last Saturday and lasted but a few minutes, he complaining o' not feeling well. Hlg first admission of Illness, she said, was on July 6 last, when he expressed the opinion that his supper had disagreed with him.
