Heney. The cross-examination was hardly well started when the hour for adjournment arrived, and it may con- tinue for several days. So far as -it went, Heney did not succeed in shak- ing Dimon irect testimony in any particular. On the opening of court Wheeler told | Commissioner Heacock that a por- tion of the Hyde-Dimond correspond- { ence in his poshseseion had been en- d to him by Hyde, and that for reason he had not felt at liberty to comply with an order from the Com- { missioner which Heney had brought him on Monday evening. This order | directed that Heney be permitted to inspect all the Hyde-Dimond letters in Wheeler's hands; but for the rea- son stated, Dimond’s attorney said, he would not show from Hyde unless the Commissioner should specially order it. ‘““We contend that the Commissioner had o right to make such an order at all, and we want the letters return- ed to us,” said - Bert Schlesinger of Hyde's counsel, and Garret W, Mc- Enerney, representing the same cli- ent, added that Hyde was negligernt in permitting the letters to leave his hands. “I shall ask your Honor,” Heney said, “to make an order now directing Mr. Wheeler to retain possession of these letters. The Government can- not compel Hyde to testify against himself, and therefore we are en- titled to such an order at this time.” The order was grantege THE BREAK WITH HYDE. Wheeler then put in a letter from Jeremiah Collins, the Washington land agent, and Dimond's reply to the same, both dated in March, 1903, after Dimond had ceased to act as Hyde's attorney. Collins wrote complaining that Hyde had failed to do anything to meet the charges of the land of- fice or to clear up the clouded titles to the lands he had sold as bases for lieu selections. Dimond answered that he had tried in vain to get his for- mer client to do more than had been done; that Hyde Dimond, in whose name many of the base lands stood, was not a fictitious person, but a servant in the Morris home at Oakland, and that the writer himself believed that Joost H. Schnei- der, on whose statement the Interior Department' was supposed to have act- ed in suspending the Hyde-Benson se- lections, could not be trusted, as he was apparently after money. Dimond also said that if Hyde would persist in his search he would probably be able to find 90 per cent of the persons who had located his school lands and get affidavits from them that would be of great assistance in clearing up the tangle caused by the suspension opder. Then came a letter the witness had written to Britton & Gray, Hyde's for- mer attorneys at Washington, relating to the efforts to get Hyde to perfect his titles. Dimond wrote that Hyde had refused to accept these sugges- tions, in which all the lawyers had united, adding: “His repdy was that he was going to handle the matter to suit himself, and he intimated that he wanted no suggestions from any one as to what course he should pursue.” Dimond had severed his connection with Hyde on, February 28, 1903. This made it necessary to explain the large number of Jetters from him in posses- sien of the land office relating to the Hyde-Benson selections amd bearing a letters received | declared Elizabeth | J later date. His explanation was that when he left Hyde's office his rubber name stamp was left behind, and that this had been used by the office boy in putting his name on the letters in ques- tion. This had been the practice in the office for his routine letters to the land office while he was still acting as Hyde's attorney, and it had been kept up after- ward, the office boy having used Di- mond’s name stamp for all the letters on a list given him by Hyde. BENSON’S BATHROOM. Two letters only from the Benson- Dimond correspondence relating to the San Francisco mountains reserve were introduced, and then Heney admitted that the Government did not contend that this transaction was ecriminal. Having offered the Government the use of the whole mass of Benson let- ters Wheeler therefore dropped this line after straightening out the bathroom incident. Dimond told how' he had called on Benson at the Willard Hotel in Washington on the occasion of the latter's visit in May, 1902. The Ari- zona business was the only matter dis- cussed, and after luncheon they had gone upstairs to Benson's room to look for a draft of a contract the “scripper’” expected to close with the Seligmans in New York. While Benson was search- ing through his bag for the paper a light knock was heard on the door. Benson apologized and asked the wit- ness to step into the bathroom for an instant. This done the door was closed for a minute or vo and then opened again. Then Benson had got rid of Dimond by promising to bring the contract down to Dimond's office. The witness had not seen Woodford D. Harlan, of the General Lani Office, in the room or ever met him elsewhere | while in Washington. “Who did you think it was that knockxed at Benson's door?” asked ‘Wheeler. “A woman,” Dimond answered, while the spectators, including Benson him- self, laughed. On cross-examination Heney took the witness back to his first consultation with an attorney after he learned of his indictment. He had gone at once, he said, to his friend Wheeler, who agreed to appear for him. At Wheel- er's request he had gone to Hyde's of- fice for the docket of selections with which Hyde had furnished him when he went to Washington. Only ten or fifteen minutes had been spent there, but Hyde had expressed his surprise at Dimond’s indictment, saying, “They might just as well have indicted my clerks as you.” “Were you not in Hyde's office for an hour and ten minutes?’ Heney queried. “No. We were not on good terms and 1 got away as quickly as possible.” WHY DIMOND LEFT HYDE. “You had a misunderstanding with him regarding your pay, did you not?’ “Yes, but that was not the reason for my leaving his office. Before I left ‘Washington in February, 1903, I had arranged with Britton & Gray to rep- resent them here, and I told Hyde that I could no longer act for him, nor would Britton & Gray, unless he should carry out our suggestions. I also told him that I should ask $500 a month if I acted further as his attorney.” “Just why did you decide to act for him no longer.” “Because of the admissions he had made in his letter to me dated Jan- uary 16" McEnerney objected to this line of IRUSSIA’S PLAINT IS DISCUSSED Cabinet Considers Question of Wireless Message as Ap- plied in the Eastern War NO DECISION REACHED Statesmen Agree That Im- portant Issue Is Raised in Use of New Telegraphy —_— WASHINGTON, April 19.—The most important matter considered at the Cabinet meeting to-day was that look- ing to the control by the Gov- | ernment of wireless telegraphy. The | subject was broached by Secretary |Hay in connection with the com- munication received recently by this | Government from Russia. The dis- |cussion finally drifted to the ex- | pression of the opinion that it would be desirable, if not, indeed, absolutely necessary for this Government to con- trol, at least in a supervisory way, the | operation of wireless telegraphy, par- ‘ucularly along the coast. Stations for the receipt of wireless messages are springing up at various places along | both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. It was pointed out that, in the event of a war with a foreign nation. it might be necessary in defense of the nation for officers of the United States to have charge of these stations, as a means, of assurance to the Government | that no communication was established with vessels of an enemy’s fleet and that the system was’ not employed to the detriment of United States inter- ests. Thus far wireless telegraphy has not figured in international affairs and no conventions covering its use have been considered. It is believed that, sooner or later, the subject will be taken up by diplomatists with a view to report- ing an international agreement upon it. The discussion to-day was tentative in a measure and no definite decision was reached. It is likely, however, that in the near future some action will be taken that will provide for a proper Government supervision of the wire- less system of telegraphy. —_———————— TO SUNNY STANISLAUS To witness the celebration of the com- pletion of the Modesto-Turlock Irriga- tion Systems at Modesto, on April 22 and 23, 1904.

Then Dimond re- peated the story of his visit at Hyde’s request to Tucson and his interview with J. H. Schneider after the latter had given the Government a statement charging his former employer with fraud in using fictitious names in the manufacture of land titles. Dimond added nothing new to his testimony of Monday, and refused to admit that Schneider had told him of any other illegal transactions in Hyde’s office. The examination will continue at 10:30 ¢’clock this morning. —— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. BOSTON’S BARBER REGULATIONS. Board of Health Orders Sterilization of All That Barbers Use on Customers.
