The report of the committee adopted unanimously. STANDING COMMITTEES MEET. The various standing committees held meetings this afternoon, and it is was then anticipated that many of the important | questions to be decided by the General | Conference will come up for considera- tion in rapid succession from now on. ! The episcopacy committee met in ex- ceedings are closely guarded it is pretty well understood to-night that the names of the various candidates for bishopric honors were under considera- | tion. From well-informed sources it is learned that it has been practically de- | termined that six new Bishops will be | elected. While the Pacific Coast has one avowed and one passive candidate tioned. In the opinion of a delegate | who understands the episcopal situa- | tion, it is unlikely that a representa- tive of the Pacific Coast will be named {to a place on the Board of Bishops. | The eighty-nine colored delegates are making a fight to have one of their | race elected Bishop, and while they | bave the support of a portion of the | white delegates it is doubtful if they | will succeed. The committee on itinerancy met this afternoon and heard the report of a sub-committee upon the very important matter of a time limit upon the ten- ure of pastorates. The report favored {leaving the matter just where it is at present, that is, an unlimited tenure. The sentiment of the entire committee seemed to approve of this recommenda- tion, though formal action was de- ferred. It seems to be the opinion of the committeemen that the rule adopt- ed four years ago has not been given & fair trial. SEPARATED IN GREECE| Heacock Requires Them to Face : a Jury. | Fred A. Hyde and Henry P. Dimond, two of the defendants under indictment ! by the Grand Jury of the District of | Columbia for conspiring to obtain pub- |lic lands by fraudulent methods, were | hbld yesterday by United States Com- | missioner Heacock for trial at Wash- | ington. Hyde’s bail was increased from | $30,000 to $50,000, and that of Dimond, | who figures in the case rather as an accesgory than as a principal, from {$15,000 to $20,000. Formal orders em- bodying these rulings will be entered by the commissioner at 10 o'clock this morning. | The outcome of the remarkable hear- jlng that has been in progress since | March 22, was announced at the close yesterday after- noon, counsel for the Government and five and possibly six Bishops now | The girl was a waitress in the hotel | fOr the defense having agreed to walve argument on the case. The question of | bail was at once taken up. Francis J. Heney, on behalf ¢f the prosecution, asked that the defendanis’ bonds be | doubled, saying that he believed the nffense was not extraditable, and that In view of the vast amount of proof establishing their guilt beyond reason- able doubt there was cause to appre- hend that Hyde and Dimond, with con- viction staring them in the face, might | see fit to step across the international border into Bri co, and thus escape trial and punish- ment. The Government's motion was { opposed by Schlesinger and Knight for | the defendants, and the commissioner finally fixed the bail at the amounts named above. A NOTEWORTHY CASE. Heacock's ruling marks the close of the first step in one of the most im- portant Federel prosecutions under- taken in recent years. The case has attracted wide attention, especially throughout the West, where the injury to the publ interests through the fraudulent operations of land grabbers has long been a cause of general com- plaint. During the autumn of 1902 Secretary | Hitchcock of the Interior Department set on foot an investigation of the methods of Frederick A. Hyde and John A. Benson, two well known land speculators residing in this city, who were operating especially in forest re- serve lieu lands under the Forest Re- serve Act of 1897. This investigation was committed to Judge A. B. Pugh, a prominent Washington attorney con- ted with the Interior Department, and William J. Burns, a special agent in the secret service, was well known on this coast because of his connection with the Dimmick prosecu- tion for embezzlement at the San Fran- Mint, and still better threcughout the country for his success- ful running down of the boldest and most dangerous gang of counterfeiters in the of the United States— the Kendig-Jacobs confederacy at Lan- caster and Philadelphia, Pa., who, after defrauding the Government vast sums by their manufacture and use of internal revenue mps, were caught by Burns in the act of floating, with the aid of New York bankers and re- tired Fede officials, an fssue of $12,- 000,000 well-execut high denomina- tion treasur notes. In such competent hands the investi- gation speedily put the Government in who cisco histor and Hyde had as of public lands In December last Benson was a d indicted cn a charge of bribing clerks in the General Land Of- fice to furnish him with secret inform- ation on cases pending before the office and regarding the investigation of his own and Hyd method In February the Grand Jury of the District of Co- lumbla returned a second indictment charging Benson and Hyde, with Henry P. Dimond, a San Franciscc attorney, who had represented them at Wash- !ington, and Joost H. Schneider of Tuc- ! son, Ariz., formerly a clerk in Hyde's office, with conspiracy to defraud the United States, CHARGE OF WHOLESALE FRAUD. Specifically the indictment alleges that the defendants had been obtaining fraudulent titles to Oregon and Cali- fornia schoc! lands by the use of dum- mies, fictitious locators and forged affi- davits; that they had bribed Interior | Department officials to have these State lands included within forest re- serves created under the act of 1897, and that they had then filed with the department deeds of relinquishment to | their school lands and demanded, in ! accordance with the terms of the act, that the Government issue in lieu | thereof patents to unoccupied lands outside the reserves. Hyde and Benson were charged as the principals, Dimond ',and Schneider as accessories. In par- ticular it was alleged that Dimond, | during his service in Wasnington, had committed, in furtherance of the con- | spiracy, the overt acts tnat gave the Supreme Court of the District of Co- ! lumbia jurisdiction of the crime. On this indictment Benson and | 8chneider were arrested in the East, but Hyde and Dimond, having been apprehended in San Francisco, were | brought before Heacock on a motion ! to commit them for trial. In the long and flercely contested struggle that followed the Government was repre- | sented by Francis J. Heney, now of the local bar, but formerly Attorney Gen- eral of Arizona; by Judge Pugh, the | Interior Department lawyer already named, and by Oliver E. Pagin, who drew the indictment and who was for | many years United States District At- | torney at Chicago, but is now in charge of the pleadings and criminal division of the Department of Justice at Wash- ington. Garret W. McEnerney and Bert Schlesinger appeared for Hyde, while Dimond was defended by Charles 8. Wneeler and Samuel Knight. { A DRAMATIC CLOSE. Heney'’s finish with Dimond yester- day morning was one of the severest pieces of cross-examination ever heard in a San Francisco courtroom. It was based upon the Dimond Iletters fur- nighed to the Government by Attorney A. B. Browne of Washington—letters sent to Browne during 1903, when Dimond was using his knowledge of Hyde’s methods in his attempt to force the speculator to continue his employ- acquired by illegal i Columbia or Mexi- | known | ession of evidence tending to show | 'HYDE AND DIMOND ARE HELD FOR TRIAL AT WASHINGTON o e CCITTTIES JGIVE {1 HESCeC A % ACRE CRISIS NOT AVERTED Dispute Over Possession by Peru and Brazil Is Being Officially Talked HISTORY OF THE CASE Early Treaty Is Taken as Basis for Claim, but Arbi- tration Will Be Accepted —— ‘WASHINGTON, May 13.—Notwith- standing reports by cable to the effect that Peru has consented to withdraw her troops from the territory in the Acre region, now in dispute between 1 Peru and Brazil, it is said that, be- cause that offer is coupled with the demend for the neutralization of the | territory, the crisis has not yet been |averted. Meanwhile the argumeut be- itween the representatives of the two | countries in Washington continues and | the latest contribution which is said marks the conclusion of the Brazillan case was given to the press to-day \from the Brazilian Legation. The statement follows: The interpretation given by Brazil to the treaty of 1851 has alwave been the same and the only one compatible with international law, namely, that by the principle of utl possidetis, | nized the territorles to the south and east of | the Yavary as belonging to Brazil. The utl | possidetts, “as explained by the Peruvian Le- | gation, based on a colonial title, the treaty of | |St. Tidefonso is unfortunately a novelty, for it would amount to basing right on a treaty null and void by International law, as_well {as by the recognition of Portugal and Spain | and ‘the South American nations after their independence. That treatv in fact became in- { {valid in consequence of the war which broke out In 1801 between Portugal and Spain and | |never since has been re-established. The best proof of the invalidity of that title was given by Peru herself when she thought {|a new treaty necessary and in settling the | boundary with Brazil in 1851 the principle of { ut! possidetis ag the only title remaining. no | mention or reserve being made of the defunct | treaty of 1777. Peru also has no right based on actual possession.

Besides, in that treaty Brazil did not | recognize the territories as belonging ‘to Bo- {livia. It is true that later, under a very { liberal interpretation and with a view to fa | voring Bolivia for political purposes, some gov- Vags A AESTo P | ernments of Brazil ceded the territories to her, | But this was only a cession made against pow- j ertul expression of public opinion. ~The. recent treaty of Petropolls was for that reason de- HE DEFENDANTS IN LAND F!

The most damaging of the letters from Dimond to Browne that Heney | read bore date of December 31, 1903, | With it Dimond had inclosed copies of | the anonymous letters suggesting that the Government was ready to relaln‘ him for Hyde's prosecution. In part]w the epistle was as follows: i FROM DIMOND TO BROWNE. Ever since 1 left Hyd: I have been receiv- | ing anonymous letters denouncing him and teilins me to wait and I would see the end. Within the past week I have been impressed tha with the fact came from Govern- mental sources * 1 made up my mind that whatever else I concluded to do the time had come for me to press Hyde in the | matter of the Seligman deal, from which Ben- son al be cleaned up some $75,000 to date. o I sent for him and read him the let- ters, He was alarmed beyond measure. ¥ asked him what he had tv suggest and his reply was typical: “Of course, Dimond, I have such a high re- gard for your honor and integrity I know you would never take a case against me, especially of this character, and I'll tell you what you can do that will help me greatly.

I would like your opinion on the course 1 have pursued. Much I need it, I cannot see how I could possibly take part in the Gov- ernment side of the case if offered. Of course, 1 learned much in Washington, and, putting this and that together, I now know all thera is to know. But I ewas employed by these people (Hyde and Benson) at the time and my information concerns them.

Here are a few of the questions and answers that followed the introduction of this letter: You tried to leave the impression. them, in Hyde's mind, that you were considering the question of employment by the Government acainst him? No. sir, 1 told him emphatically that I i would not take a cese afterward.
