FIVE COACHES HELD UF
By a Lone Highwayman In the
Yosemite National Park.
The Oil Lease Controversy Runawa)
Car Killed 13 Miners To Protect
American Interests Scientist Klllec
by an Automobile Convicted ol
Giving Rebates.
Five Yosemite valley stage coachei
were held up Saturday evening neai
the entranco to the national park in
California by a lone highwayman
who obtained a considerable amount ol
money and Jewelry. The conveyances
were halted In rapid succession at a
curve In the road near Ahwahnee, al
the identical spot where a bandit a
year ago robbed several wealthy tour
lata 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, whose 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 begau wildly to secrete
their valuables.
The highwayman directed all pas
sengerB 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 Buffered 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 placard to the postmasters
of the state of New York illustrating
the destructive gipsy and browntall
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, n pest which has
caused losses running into millions oi
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 la steadily making its way
westward.
"Experience has shown that auto
mobiles are very active agents in
transporting this Insect, and with their
Increased use In recent years- no one
can foresee where the pest may ap
pear next.
The browntall 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 peRts."
The Oil Lease Controversy.
Gov. Higglns explained his part in the
controversy over the oil leases in In
dian and Oklahoma territories, which
has became a public question through
the investigation made by Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock.
When the governor's attention was
called to a published article which
'.ated that he had Interceded with
President Roosevelt in behalf of the
oil operators, he said:
"It Is true that I have expressed my
views to the president relative to oil
leases In Indian Territory. 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 wise for Secretary Hitch
cock to advlso with some practical oil
men on the subject."
Runaway Car Killed 13 Miners.
A runaway cur, flying like the wind
down a mine branch track that runs
between Puritan and Portage, Pa., at
midnight Tuesday, jumped the track a
short distance west of Portage and
crashed into a party of 20 foreigners
who were holding a celebration along
the track. Thirteen were killed in
stantly und without a moment's warn
ing. Several others were injured. The
car was smashed to kindling wood and
the tracks were torn up for a hundred
feet.
The car was loaded with a motor
consigned to the Puritan Coal' com
pany and had been left standing on a
siding near the mine shaft. Mine offi
cials gtve it as their opinion that
striking foreigners loosened the brake
and started the car down the precipit
ous spur, although another theory is
that malicious boys sent the cur oil
In a spirit of mischief.

PREY OF A BOGUS LORD.
Heads of Mormon Church Tak
en In by Plausible Englishman.
Beresford Hope Came to Utah to Rep
resent the "British-American Securi
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 Home sort
of explanations from a man calling
himself Beresford Hope, who repre
sented himself to be an English no
bleman and 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 be suceeded In swindling
the men who rule Utah's dominant
church for sums of money thai ran
into many thousands of dollars.
Just how much money was advanced
to the alleged nobleman on his various
schemes is not known because of the
natural reticence on the part of his
victims. He is now in Boston "still
standing put."
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
Kenzle 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
Investment.
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 the 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, Hopo
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, allowol
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.
