' The department was then considering the advisability of consolidating several small forest reserves in Arizona into one large re- on to Washington, as his interests were in- | | volved. What I wanted was that he should get the agency for the lieu Jands that would be ard other lands in the big reserve. !

In this peculiar case the defendants are bringing out the evi- dence aganst themselves by calling the Gevernment's own witnesses, and at | that Uncle Sam's clever counsel h to do is to develop some additional de- tails. In this way the defense is slowly getting hold of the main points of the Government's case. One of the witnesses to-day will be Charles Augustus Johnson, a freckled- faced ycuth who was an office boy in Hyde's office, and is expected to tell how he carried bunches of affidavits and deeds to a notary’s office, where | that official affixed his jurat or ac- knowledgment without seeing the per- sons whose names had been signed to the instruments in blank. | —e————— Says He Was at His Club.

Rabbi Isadore Myers, who recently resigned as pastor of the Congrega- tion: Ohabai Shalome, was presented with a beautiful illuminated address by the members of the congregation yesterday. The address is elaborately gotten up and full’ of praise and thanks to the venerable rabbi, who as labored for more than seven years in the interest of his congregation. The members of the synagogue regret to lose such a zealous leader as Dr. Myers and in-the pamphlet which they esented to him they desire to thank him for the good work he has per- formed while rector of the synagogue. To him is given credit for establish- ing the voluntary choir, the ladies’ benefit society and the flourishing con- dition of the spiritual school for the children is attributed to his efforts.
