LOUIS GETS- [HANNA WINS IN BENSON CASE Federal Commissioner Hears | Testimony as to Alleged Fraud in Obtaining Land e ON THE STAND (LERK A : I'roceedings in New York to Determine Reasons for the Indiectment of a Millionaire NEW YORK, Jan. 12—The examina- tion of John A. Benson, the California millionaire land owner, who was ar- rested in this city on December 31, charged with having bribed Woodford A. Harlan, chief of the special service | division of the land office, a Federal of- | ficial, was commenced to-day before | United Statgs Commissioner Shields. The indictment returned against the | ! accused and Frederick A. Hyde of San | Francisco charges them with having obtained the title to school lands in | ! California and Oregon by fraudulent motions and having later bribed the | Washington officials to obtain secret | information gathered by special agents f the land office concerning the al- leged fraudulent entries. Under the | laws of California and Oregon citizens | have a right to purchase school lands, | | set aside by the Federal Government for that purpose, from the State, pro- | viding the purchase is made for resi- dence and improvement, and not for sale. The two defendants are charged | with having secured applications for the purchase of the lands from citizens for small sums, giving them to under- stand they were merely selling their | right to purchase lands. The Government had in attendance a number of witnesses from Washington and California. Walter F. Stack and | | Miss M. L. Doyle, formerly clerks in the office of Mr. Hyde in San Francisco, testified to methods of making out the { | applications for the lands and said that ! _the apvlications were signed in blank and later filled out with the description of the desired lands. Miss Devle was cross-examined by | Judge Campbell of San Francisco and admitted that it was the exception and not the rule to have the applications | signed in blank and she could recall | only a few instances where this had been done. She aiso said that she could | not say positively that the persons whose names were affixed to the a fidavits did not appear before the no- tary because she was not personally | | there when the acknowledgments were kfoot DISTINGUISHED CALIFOR!

I need not say to vou how much I am interested in the object which the conference has in view and which the contemplated meeting is called to further. And yet, much to my regret, T am obliged to say in response to your invitations that en- gagements already made and an unus- ual pressure of work prevent my at- tending the meeting.” . NOTABLE MEN SPEAK. A mass meeting was held under the auspices of the.National Arbitration (gnference at the Lafayette Theater tius afternoon. General Foster presid- ed, and a number of notable speakers, including Andrew Carnegie and Cardi- nal Gibbons, occupied the platferm.

Cardinal Gibbons then spoke: in the day to Con- was re- Cleve- “It is a matter of the createst in- ! terest to every American citizen and to every lover of humanity,” said he, “that things are being done to estab- lish universa! arbitration in the werld, not only between the great and power- ful nations who might hesitate because of the consequences to go to war with one ancther, but also in favor of the each country, of taken. Woodford D. Harlan was called to the stand, but his testimony was not | concluded, an adjournment being taken until February 2, in order ‘to give the defendant’s counsel time to visit San Francisco and secure some documents | in evidence. Frederick A. Hyde, whése name is mentioned in a New York dispatch re- garding the John A.

The date fixed for the convention is Wednesday, July 6, at 11 o’clock. . For some hours previous to the meet- ing of the committee there was talk in the corridors and among Democratic | ieaders that the convention in Chicago might be subject to the influence of a strong movement and a newspaper in- fluence in favor of some particular candidate. Mr. Knapp of the St. Louis | Republic hinted at this in his speech | by saying that the comvention if held | at St. Louis would be welcomed by an absolutely fair press. The committee meeting covered con- siderable discussion of politics and the claims of various candidates were ad- vocated by their partisans, but noth- ing like favoring any candidate ap-| peared in the committee proceedings. Willlam J. Bryan, when the commit- | tee had concluded its labors, appeared, | but his visit was without anv appar- ent political significance. | St. Louis first was advocated by | Mayor Rolla Wells. A written pro-| posal was oresented to the committee offering $40,000 in cash and the free use of the Coliseum, a fireproof build- | ing with a seating capacity of 15.000.: The Business Men's League guaranteed hotel accommodations. The financial proposal of Chicago was read. It contained a provision | that should the sum of $45,000 be ex- hausted in paying the legitimate ex- penses of the convention the balance should be returned: also that 3000 tick- ets be placed at the disposal of the lo- | cal committee. There were eries for James Hamilton Lewis.” Mr. Lewis declined however, to spond, saying that the invitation of| Chicago had been most satisfactorily presented. At 4:25 the committee took a short | recess and them went into executive session, choosing St. Louis as the eon- vention city and fixing July 6 as the date. There were two roll calls to se- On the first St. Louis | received 23 votes, Chicago 20 and New York 6. On the second ballot St. Louis | received 28 and Chicago 21.

A. Hanna to the United States Senate for a second term. The result will be formally announced at a joint session at noan to-morrow, a joint ballot being unnecessary by rea- son of Senator Hanna having a ma- Jjority in each branch. 3 Semator Hanna's re-election is in striking contrast to his election six years ago, when, after a most exciting political contest, he secured only the requisite number of votes to elect, 73, on joint ballot, the Senate on its separate ballot having given a major- ity of one vote to Robert L. McKisson of Cleveland. To-day Senator Hanna was re- the largest majority ever given to a candidate for United States Senator from Ohio. The House cast 66 votes for Mr. Hanna, two Republi- can members being absent, and 21 for-John H. Clark of Cleveland, the Democratic candldate, one Democratic member being absent. The Senate 29 votes for Mr. Hanna and 4 for Mr. Clark. —_————————— Health Officers Close Theaters. LOCKPORT, N.

ADVERTISEMENTS. Facts about clothes « Our cloth is bought direct from the mills. Were we tail- ors alone, we would be compelled, like all other tailors, to buy the cloth from jobbers. We buy the cloth from the mills at the same price the jobber has to pay them. The jobber, of course, makes his profit when he sells the goods to the tailor. The mills give us this privilege because we buy in large quan- tities for our immense establishment in New York, where CARNEGIE HAS HOPES. Lieutenant General Miles and Dr. Ed- | ward Everett Hale earnestly voiced their symipathy with the work. Rev. Dr. Joseph Sherman of Temple Em- i manuel, New York, spoke of the gen- erzl trend toward arbitration. Andrew Carnegie was introduced as | the ‘great apostle of arbitration and ! peace.” He recalled that it was eight- een years ago when he first appeared in Washington to urge arbitration. He said that Great Britain was lcnging for such a treaty as the conference con- templated. He said that never before had the English speaking race been so close together. Speaking of insist- ence on points of honor, he declared that the most dishonorable word in the English language is honor. “We have abolished the duel,” said he. “Let it be cur race that takes the first step to abolish international duel- ing.” . —_——— SANTA CRUZ.
