SAID TO HAVE DESTROYED RECORDS ACCUSED FORMERLY. HELD POSI- TION OF GENERAL LAND COMMISSIONER. Washington, March 4.—Congress- man Binger Hermann of Oregon, for- mer United States land commissioner, bas been indicted by the federal grand jury on the charge of desuuvmg pub- lic records. that he destroyed thi press copybooks. * The substance of the charge is that Mr. Hermann, just previous to his res- ignation as commissioner of the gen- eral land office, which was on Feb. 1, 1503, destroyed thirty-five letter press conybooks containing copies of offidial communications written by _him as commissioner of the generalland office and relating to the business of that u . Hermann's ‘attorney appeared in court immediately after the indict- ment had been found and on behalf of his client waived the exemption due a member of congress and asked that bzil be fixed. District Attorney Beach suggested $5,000, while Mr. Hermann’s ccunsel named $2,500, the latter figure being set by the couu CHINESE COOK SUSPECTED. Latest Theory in the Stanford Poison- ing Case. San Francisco, March 4.—The Call publishes a dispatch from Honolulu which says that Miss Bertha Berner, who was Mrs. Stanford's. secretary, has named Ah Wing, a Chinese cook who has been employed at Mrs. Stan- ford’s home for over twenty years, as the person whom she suspects of plac- ing the strychnine in the bicarbonate of soda. Ah Wing, with the other servants in the employ of Mrs. Stan- ford, are now confined in the Stanford mansion on California street by pri- vate detectives under orders, it is said, of the personal attorney of Mrs. Stan- ford. They are not allowed-to leave the house and a watchman is on guard at the gate day and night with orders to prohibit ail persons grom approach- ing the dwelling. Besides Ah Wing there are two other Chinese servants and the house- keeper at present in the house. Since the announcement was - re- ceived that strychnine had been found in the Dbottle of bicarbonate detectives have made careful search of Mrs. Stanford’s C‘alifornia street home and her place in Palo Alto. At both they; have found a one pound can of im- ported bicarbonate of soda. The can at the Palo. Alto home had not been opened, but from the one discovired in the California street mansion there had been taken a small portion, pre- sumably the amount needed to fill the small bottle that Mrs. Stanford carried with her to Honolulu. Botlg of these cans have been ana- Iyzed By a local chefnist, who has pro- nounced their contents absolutely free from any- kind of poison. With this knowledge in their possession the de- tectives have been eager to discover who refilled the small bottle and pos- sibly mixed the bicarbonate of soda with strychuine. , s e e iy INNOCENT MAN EXECUTED. Conscience ~Stricken Brother fesses to Murdering Woman. ‘Washington, Pa, March 4—“My’ God, that’s my brother! He never killed that woman. I am. the mur- derer. I should have been hanged in- stead of Kugene,” cried Adolph J. Bloch in a frenzy of remorse to a friend who was reading to him an’ account of the hanging of Eugene Bloch at Allentown on Tuesday. He is now in the Washington county Jjail awaiting a hearing on the charge of the murder to which he has con- fessed and for which his brother has been executed. The murder of Mrs. Falsmger was a brutal one. Her throat was cut and her dead body was found hours after the crime. Adolph Bloch says his rother kne Con- ROOSEVELT TEN CENTS PER WEEK INAUGUATED President Roosevelt and Vice-President Fairbanks Took Oath Today. Washington, March 4.—The inaug- “|uration of President Roesevelt and Vice President Fairbanks today was made a festal ceremony in Washing- ton. The flora! decorations through- out the city were more elaborate and beautiful than on any previous inaugw uration. The proceedings in the senate chamber were coldly formal, Senator Fairpanks first taking the oath of of- fice and then administering the oath to the newly elected senators, Presi- dent Roosevelt was sworn in in front of the capitol in the presence of 4,000 prople and he spoke briefly. Later the president viewed a magnificent pa- rade of 3,000 men formed in his honor FROM ITS INTERNAL ENEMIES. Imperial Manifesto Calls or Country to Defend the Throne. St. Petersburg, March 4.—The Offi- cial Messenger publishes an imperial manifesto calling on the country to rally round the throne in defense. of the emyire from its internal enemies. The manifesto, which reiterates Rus- sia’s aspirations in the Far East and appeals to the loyalty of the people to turn away from sedition and support the government in order that the projecied reforms may be carried out, has proved profoundly disappointing to liberals. The latter believe-that it will not only aggravate the existing critical situation but is likely to pre- cipitate a veritable crisis in this, the emperor’s final response to the prac- tically unanimous demand of the in- telligent classes for a voice in the gov- ernment. They declare that the result can only be disastrous. Empty praises cannot satisfy aspiration nor can re- pression; if attempted, be successful. Besides nothing could, in their opin- ion, come at a more inoppdriune mo- ment, as the workmen, on the eve of the emancipation annlversary, are in a state of intense excitement due to the refusal of the government to meet their ultimatum and the public is al-| ready couvinced that General Kuropat- kin has sufiered another great defeat. The language of the manifesto itself is sufficient to prove that it is direct- ed at the peasant class, based upon their traditional loyalty to the em- peror and church, to stand by the gov- ernment in its hour of trial. For the moment the manifesto must be con- sidered a victory for the reactionaries, but one which can only be maintained by their own hand of force, bul the question of vieldinz on the main issue is still open even in the mind of thz emperor owing to the fact that M. ‘Witte, president of the committee of ministers, and the ministers them- selves have been summoned to Tsars- koe Sclo to (lis‘Lu the very subject. MADE. hUMEROUS ARRESTS Police of Warsaw Round Up Allege Agitators. Warsav, March 4.—The police made numerous arrests in the course of the night, including Stanislaus Lubiczki, editor of the Kurjer Codzienny. He is not believed to be connected with the agitation movement, but it is thought his arrest was ordered for its moral effect, Lubiczki being one of the best known persons in Warsaw. The military and police patrols have been largely increased and are now stopping and searching persons in the streets for revolvers. CASHIER BEUTHIEN SENT UP. Son Punished Under Statute That Dces Not Reach Father. Davenport, la., March 4.—Arnold Beuthien, the young cashier of the wrecked New Liberty Savings bank, has been sentenced to a term of four years in the Fort Madison peniten- tiary. It had been supposed that young Beuthien would be released on the same grounds as was his father, the president of the wrecked bank, who was indicted under a statute which provided no punishment for the offense. One of the indictments against the younger Beuthien, how- ever, was found to be based on an- other statute. Beuthien pleaded guilty to this indictment and was sentenced. He was arrested for a shortage of $75,000 in the funds of his bank. SPOONER LAW EXTENDED. Senate Provides for Government of Canal Zone. Washington, March 4—The senate, 69 to 0, agreed to a resolution oftered ~| by Mr. Kittredge extending until the end of the Fiftyninth congress the provisions of the Spooner law provid- ing for the temporary government of the Panama canal zone and for the prosecution of work on the canal.” - The final conference on'the Indian appropriation bill was agreed to and a partial conierence report on the river and harbor bill was presented.

Chicago, March 4.—Existence of & sigantic combination controlling the drug trade of the United States and costing the consumers $10,000,000 an- nually is held to have been proved by the hearing just concluded before Spe- cial United States Commissicner Mar- shall E. Sampsell. The amount of business controlled by the combination | is placed at $400,000, ,000 yearly. The evidence taken before Commis- sioner Sampsell is said to be so con- clusive that it probably will be placed in the hands of Attorney General Moody for prosecution on the part of the government. The fight against the combination is being made by a large retail druggist in Philadelphia, who is suing for $100,- 060 damages under the Sherman anti- trust law. The action was begun in the federal courts of Philadelphia and the most important evidence obtained is that given at the preliminary hear- ing in this city. The chief witness has been Thomas V. Wooten, secretary of the National Association of Retail Druggists, the examination being conducted by Attor- ney W. Wilson Carlile of Philadelphia. Attorney Carlile has left for Indian- apolis, where he will examine officials. of fhe National Wholesale Druggists’ association. - Later-he ‘will g0 to New York (o examine members of the Pro- Dprietary Association of America in the same case.
