BENSON NOT YET FREE Government to Press Appeal to Determine Status of Case Against Millionaire Secretary Hitchcock made the following state- ment to-day in connection with the disposition of the Benson land fraud case in New York: Judge Lacombe of New York The action of yesterday, in corpus o the Kround that in the indictment do the facts nar | constitute an offense against the United States under section 5440 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, John J. de Haven presiding, after full argu- e question and with Judge La- it, decided that the Judge Lacombe and nar- ment, do constitute an ited States under that , and granted a warrant of removal as t Benson's co-defendants, Hyde and Di- who had been arrested in San Fran- nmediately thereafter the defendants, Hyde Dimond, sued out a writ of habeas corpus Circuit Court for the Ninth Circuit d States, W. W. Morrow presid- . after full argument and de Haven dered by Jud same indic against the Unite held that the facts ren- ombe and narrated in the do constitute an offense States under that etatute, and refused to discharge the prisoners, and the defendants Hyde and Dimond ther fected an appeal to the TUnited States and that appeal is now pending. Judge Lacombe had entered his order, dis- charging Benson, the Government there- upon concluded fo petition for a rehearing in | that case, and Judge Lacombe stmply deciined to grant the rehearing and adhered to his orig- inal opinion, with the suggestion that the best way to settle the differences of view between himself and the two United States Judges in California i% to permit the appellate court to | determine the question. The G vernment will perfect an appeal im- mediately in the Benson case, and under the order of Judge Lacombe Benson will be held under bail to await the result of the appeal. The ‘appeal in the Hyde-Dimond case will be pressed to a hearing by the Government at the earliest date possibie before the Supreme Court of the United States, and the decision of the court will be conclusive in both cases. The questions decided in the Benson case and | in the Hyde-Dimond case are not involved in the Oregen land fraud cases, and these de- cisions, therefore, have no bearing whatever | upon them. — e PAYNE'S ESTATE WORTH SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND MILWAUKEB, Wis.,, Oct. 11.—The will of the late Postmaster General Henry C. Payne was filed for probate to-day. The estate is estimated at $700,000, of which $600,000 is personal property and $100,000 real estate. It is left in trust chiefly for the benefit of his wife, Mrs. Lydia Payne, and his sister, Mrs. Imogene P. Cameron. There are a number of minor bequests. not | YOULD PROTECT SOLDIERY COIN l’annmtor of Army Suggests tices of- Money Sharks! gty | WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—Brigadier | General F. 8. Dodge, paymaster gen- | | eral of the army, in his annual report, | recommends legislation, if possible, to | the end that soldiers’ deposit should not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred except after a discharge and when accompanied by the soldier’s final statement, and that such disposi- tion shall be made a military offense for which the soldier may be retained in the service for trial. He recom- | | deposit bok by any person as security for a loan to the soldier during the | period of his service shall work a for- | feiture of such deposhs The paymas- D aint has been made by company commanders of the practice of money lenders, especially in San Francisco, who it is believed not only loan on the security of their deposit | books, but lie in walt for them when | discharged, and confiscate or extort a large percentage of what is due them from the Government. The evil is a which exists in any large seaport, where seamen are stripped of their hard-earned money by boarding-house runners and touts. If the deposit book can be made without value in case of such use, it will be of benefit to the service as well as to the soldier.” An increase in the allowance for commutation for quarters of officers is recommended. ““A major general’s commutation al- lowance ot $72,” says the paymaster general, “would not pay the rent of a modern flat in any large city, and a conveniently located and suitable house would be entirely out of the question. jan officer of any grade with a family can rent a suitable house in such cago or San Francisco for the amount of his commutation.” Legislation is recommended increas- ing the allowance to expert rifiemen and marksmen at the rate respective- 1y of $3, $2 and $1 per month during each year they qualify. e James Means' Shoes for men, the best in America for the price.

VENTURA, Oct. 11.—Lima beans are gilt-edge property just now apd a lot | of Ventura farmers are going to make fortunes this season. Limas have jumped from $3 50 before the rain to four cents per pound. To-day San Franciscans procured two carloads at the latter figure. ‘When it is considered that lima ral; ing will pay at two and a half cents, it | will be readily seen where the farmers will profit. The advance, which, it is said, will be still greater, is brought about by the fact that a threatened short crop has been still further re- duced by the recent rains catching in | the fields one-fifth of the crop un- ' threshed, much of which will be ruined. e T SHORT OF PROVISIONS.

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 11.—While Charles W. Walton, the 18-year-old San Francisco boy in jail awaiting trial for holding up a street car, played his mandolin to drown the sounds, the | other prisoners in the County Jail last | night sawed through the bars of their cells. The nlot was to send Martin V. Leasia, who awaits the decision of | the Subreme Court on a murder | charge, to the telephone. He was ti open the door of the jailer's room. Leasia was allowed to use the tele- phone by Jailer Grafton, who was then |told of the plot to murder him. A Dep- uty Sheriff entered the jail at that mo- ment, and together they made an in. vestigation. John Sullivan, in jail fo highway robbery, was declared to be | the ringleader. After all the prison- | ers had apparently been overpowered ! Sullivan made a desperate attack | upon the jailer, whose hand was broken in the hand to hand fight | which followed. { BAD FOR Sl AR CROPS. Rain at Salinas Thn'ul('lh Beets With | Heavy Damage.
