Five Yosemite valley stage coaches were held up Saturday evening neai the entranco to the national park lc California by a lone highwayman who obtained a considerable amount ol money and Jewelry. The conveyances were halted in rapid succession at I curve in the road near Ahwahnee, al the Identical spot where a bandit a year ago robbed several wealthy tour ists of their valuables. The stages Saturday were traveling sufficiently far apart to avoid each other's dust, and when the first vehicle reached the turn in the road the high waynian, whoBe features were hidden by a duster thrown over his head, stepped out, pointed a gun at the driver and commanded him to halt. Some of the men passengers screamed, while others began wildly to secrete their valuables. The highwayman directed all pas sengers to throw out their money and jewelry, and when the -order met with compliance he directed the driver to move on. The second stage arrived within a few minutes after the first and the driver and passengers suffered a sim ilar experience. The process was re peated until all five coaches had been halted and robbed. Then the bandit disappeared in the brush. A dispatch from Berenda says the bandit has been captured. Two Destructive Pests. State Entomologist E. P. Felt has mailed a plarard to the postmasters of the state of New York illustrating the destructive gipsy and browutail moths In their various stages and In connection therewith he has issued the following circular: "This matter is of vital Importance to all residents of New York state, as the gipsy moth, a pest which has caused loRses running into millions ol dollars In Massachusetts, has already escaped from that commonwealth to New Hampshire on the north and into Rhode Island and Connecticut on the south, and is steadily making its way westward. "Experience has shown that auto mobiles are very active agents in transporting this jnsect, and with their Increased use In recent years- no one can foresee where the pest may ap pear next. The browutail moth is a more recent Introduction and, unlike the gipsy moth, flies readily. It is not only a very destructive leaf feeder but the barbed hairs of the catterplllars cause a very severe irritation upon the un protected skin. We earnestly bespeak the co-operation of yourself and resi dents of your vicinity In keeping watch for the appearance of these two dan gerous pests." The Oil Lease Controversy. Gov.

I live in an oil country and many of my friends and constituents are interested in the oil business, migrating at various times from one oil country to another. "There has been a great deal of dis satisfaction over the manner in which the lease question has been handled by the department of the interior, es pecially in Oklahoma and Indian ter ritories. The method is, as far as I know, unusual and I have so informed the president. "Among other suggestions I thought It Would be wlso for Secretary Hitch cock to advise with some practical oil men on tho subject." Runaway Car Killed 13 Miners. A runaway car.

Bereeford Hope Came to Utah to Rep resent the "British-American Secur'.. ties Company, Limited, London." Imposing List of Directors Company Since Discovered to Be Fictitious. Salt Lake City, Utah, July 10. Of ficials high in the Mormon church hero would be very glad to hear some sort of explanations from a man calling himself Beresford Hope, who repre sented himself to be an English no bleman aud who, by presenting cre dentials which looked good on their face, succeeded in "promoting" several schemes In which they are financially Interested. Hope was suave in his manner and plausible with his credentials. The re sult was that he sucecded In swindling the men who rule Utah's dominant church for sums of money that ran into many thousands of dollars. Just how much money was advanced to the alleged nobleman on his various schemes is uot known because of the natural reticence on the part of his victims. He is now in Boston "still standing pat." Hope worked on a large scale. His were no petty schemes. He came to Utah with a letter from the "British American Securities company, Limit ed, London." The letter head of this concern, since discovered to be fic titious, set forth that the company was capitalized at 10,000,000, or approx imately $50,000,000. It had as its directors, among others. Lord Rothschild, who bore the tit'e of treasurer; Lord Deerhurst, the chairman; Right Hon. Lord Vaux, Lord Talbot, Lord Vincent, Sir Alexander Mc Kenzie and several prominent in the world of finance. London does not know of such a company, a fact which was learned by the Investors here abouts only after they had made their investments. Hope's letter from the British-American Securities company was to the ef fect that his credit was good up to $500,000. It helped him greatly. Ac cording to an interview here with his former stenographer he used to dictate letters addressed to himself on tho let ter heads of the company with Boston date lines and other men's signatures affixed. All of these letters were most encouraging, as they gave him carte blanche In the matter of investing the money of the company. With this as a working basis, Hope began to talk to people about his schemes. He found many willing earn. Among those who listened to the siren's tale were many prominent Mor mons. President Joseph H. Smith, the head of the church, and by virtue of his job as prophet, as well as president of many large corporations here, allowt.-d his name to be used by Hope among the lists of his several boards of di rectors. Whether President Smith In vested any money or not has not been discovered. Big French Loan to American Railway. New York, July 10.
