Land Locator Tells How Cat
tlemen Acquire Govern
ment Land.
ALL AGREE TO SELL CLAIMS
Nebraska Landgrabbers Shown to Be
on Par jW'ith Oregon Brand .
in Contempt for Law
and Oat lib.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 30. An effort will
be mads today by the defense in the
Richards-Comstock land fraud trial in
the United States District Court to dis
credit one of the Government witnesses,
Irving D. Hull, who announced himself
as a professional land locator. It was
claimed by the defense that Hull's testi
mony was given in exchange for his im
munity from prosecution on charges in
connection with the land fraud cases.
Hull admitted having been arrested and
bound over to the grand Jury by a Uni
ted States Commissioner, but said no in
dictment was found against him and. that
he was not promised immunity.
Hull's testimony developed an agree
ment between himself and Thomas M.
Huntington to secure soldiers' tilings.
The soldiers were to be given $300 for
their land after having proved up. Pre
paratory to final proof they were to lease
the land to C'omstock, and Huntington
was to get $100 for each lease, and out
of this $100 the expenses and improve
ments were to be paid. When final proof
was completed the consideration for each
section was to be J(W0. Three hundred
dollars of this was to go to the soldier
and the other $300, which included the
lease money, was to be divided between
Huntington and James Hull, a brother of
the witness.
Hull testified to meeting Huntington at
Norfolf about the middle of June, 1899.
He said: "We talked about securing old
soldiers to file on government land. He
wanted me to get all I could and have
the men on .the land the day the Kinkaid
law went into effect. He said arrange
ments had been made whereby he could
place all the filings he could get. He
preferred soldiers who had the longest
service in the army, because they could
prove up soonest. He said he had a talk
with my brother, James O. Hull, a few
days before, and, I being an old soldier,
thought I would get other old soldiers
to file- better than he. He had a man
named Oomstock who could place filings.
He agreed that the soldiers were to go
out to the land, make a lease of it,
and when it was made out he would pay
$100, the filing expenses to be taken out
of the lease money and the balance of
the proceeds of the 5150 would go to
Huntington and my brother.
"The lessees were to put the improve
ments on the land. I was to tell our men
that, when they proved up, they were to
get $300 for the land, 'here was a per
fect understanding that, when they prov
ed up, they were to sell the land for $300.
Huntington said that he had seen Com
' stock and made arrangements for these
.tilings, and would take all he could get,
and we would make lots of money out
of the deal.
"I then went to Iowa and got all the
declaratory statements' I could at logan,
Missouri Valley and Magnolia, twenty in
number, and sent them to Huntington by
registered letter. I paid the expense of
the entrymen out to Gordon, but the hotel
expenses were paid ;by some one else. I
was .afterward reimbursed for the ex
pense I had advanced. I took a number
of soldiers down from Gordon to file."
In cross-examination the defense tried
to develop a motive for Hull's testimony.
. James C. Hull of Gordon, Neb., fol
lowed, his testimony in the main corrob
orating that of his brother.
"THE" ALLEN DENIES IT
'ot Interested in Gambling and
Bribed So Policemen.
NEW YORK. Nov. SO. "The" Allen,
whose home was recently raided under
orders from the District Attorney's office,
today gave out a statement, in which he
denies that he has had any interest in
games of chance or made a confession
implicating the police. During the raid
the police seized letters, which, it was
hinted, might develop a scandal in the
.police department.
'I hare made no confession," says Al
len, "nor bave I any confession to majce.
Acting on the advice of my counsel. I
went to the office of the District Attorney
and met Mr. Jerome, who treated nia
with consideration, but I made no state
ment to him whatever.
"I have never paid any money to a po
lice official or to any politician for pro
tection. Only , twice in my entire career
have I contributed ,fo a campaign fund;
the first time was-a good many years ago,
when ...I , took JiO.OOO down to Thurlow
TYeed as a campaign contribution to aid

that I believed he would enforce the law

NEARLY REGAINS LIBERTY
Fred Xelson Suspeeted of Theft Gives
Police the Slip.
While being held prisoner at police
headquarters yesterday afternoon, Fred
Nelson left the seat lie was occupying
behind the Captain's desk, walked
slowjy to the Oak-street door and then
made a dash for liberty. His absence
from the station was not noticed and
he would have made good his escape
had he not encountered Acting Detec
tive Tichenor, who had 'arrested him
and who-had gone out to secure some
one to Identify his prisoner as a petty
larcenist. .. ..
"Where, are you going?" asked
Tichenor, as he laid hold of Nelson,
alias Roberts.
"I got tired of watting and walked
out." returned the prisoner.
"Well; you get back as fast as you
can," said Tichenor, and he started to
lead Nelson to headquarters, jf
"If I was fixed as I ought to be, I'd
kill you on the spot," growled Nelson,
savagely. J
From Nelson's appearance rand ac
tions, the police at once concluded that
he . was a dangerous character-and last
evening he was identified by,,Detecttve
HeJIyer as an ex-convict from the
Walia Walla, Wash., penitentiary. He
had Just served a term for burglary,
committed in Tacoma. When confront
ed with the facts, he broke (own and
admitted that he was in the peniten
tiary under the name of Roberts.
Nelson is now lodged in the City Jail
on a charge of stealing a suit case from
a Pullman car conductor at the Union
Depot. Tichenor saw Nelson carrying
a suit case and as he answered the
description given, he was taken into
custody on suspicion.
Three black cravats and a silver
soap case found in Nelson's possession
were identified as having been stolen
from the Pullman conductor.
GZAR HOT AFTER GURKO
WILL NOT RISK WHITEWASHING
OF FAMINE Git AFTER.'
Exposure Aggravates Suffering, but
Facts Grow Worse, as' Stoly
pin Pushes Inquiry.
ST. . PETERSBURG, Nov. 30. As a re
sult of the investigation which the press
campaign and public - indignation have
compelled the ministry to make into the
Lldval contract ror the purchase of grain
intended for famine relief, in which As
sistant Minister of the Interior Gurko
is alleged to be involved, the. sufferings
of the stricken population of 'the Volga
provinces have been greatly augmented.
On account of the disappearance of Lld
val, the chief grain buyer, in the face
of threatened 'proceedings, the purchase
and shipment of the sorely needed grain
have been suspended, and considerable
time must elapse before new contracts
can be drawn . up.
Further disclosures increase the grav
ity of M. Gurko's action in awarding the
contract to Lidval. Governor Alexand
drovski, of Penza Province, who has been
mentioned as one of Lidval's sponsors,
says he never heard of the man until he
received orders, through M. Gurko's de
partment, to purchase grain only through
Lidval. It also developed that the profits
of th deal were even greater than at
first supposed.
The Zemstvo convention of the neigh
boring province of Tula was able to pur
chase grain for 6 1-3 cents per bushel be
low Lidval's contract price, equivalent to
over $400,000 on the whole contract.
Princes Gavoff and Orbelinani, repre
senting the Zemstvo bureau of famine re
lief, who had just returned to Moscow
from a trip through the famine-stricken
province, report that the situation is even
worse -than described in the earlier ac
counts. Sickness follows in the track of
the famine. An epidemic o scurvy has
broken out in the Kolfsk district of Sara
tov province, and in the absence of the
needed food and medicine, is spreading
widely. '
While there is a large accumulation of
coal at the Donetz mines, the railroads
are not moving it, and In consequence, the
mines have shut down. It is feared that
the lack of coal may lead to a suspension
of work in the factories and great distress
in several of the manufacturing districts.
Controller Schwanebach, who is head
of the inter-Ministerial committee ap
pointed to inquire Into the grain scandal,
went to Tsarskoe-Selo tonight to lay the
matter before the Emperor and obtain
instructions.
The removal of M. Gurko, If found nec
essary, will hamper the execution of the
administration's agrarian programme, as
he is the author of the great mass of the
agrarian legislation already promulgated,
and was charged with the preparation of
projects to be submitted to Parliament.
The composition of the Gurko investi
gation commission has been changed.
It will not be composed of members of
the Ministry, as first announced, but
the members will be selected from dig
nitaries of high rank and men in public
life independent -of the government.
This step is made in order to minimize
the possibility of a whitewashing ver
dict. The Emperor has said that this
investigation must be conducted with
out delay.
LET TIME PROVE HIM RIGHT
Heyburn Will Not Devote Session to
Fight pn Forest Reserves.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. D. C, Nov. 30. Senator
Heyburn said today in regard to
the statement in the. press that he
would oppose the President's forestry
policy at the approaching session lot
Congress:
"While my views in regard to th
forest reserve policy of the adminis
tration have not changed, and I intend
to pursue a constant course of opposi
tion, I fully realize that the,, adminis
tration is committed to it, and that it
would be futile to attempt to reform
-the ideas of the administration on that
subject. I shall reserve my efforts to
change the present policy until such
time in the future as shall appeal more
opportune, on the theory that the way
to secure the modification of a bad law
is to enforce it.
"Statements recently sent out tend to
create the Impression that I expect to
devote my time during the approach
ing session to antagonizing the admin
istration on the forest reserve question
but such is not the case. I have a num
ber of important questions deserving
special consideration that will fully
occupy my time."

THEY TURN ON SHEA
Enemies in Teamsters' Union
Will Aid Conviction.
DRAMATIC SCENE IN COURT
Leader of Great Strike Taken by
Surprise When Others Accused
Plead Guilty and Turn
' State's Evidence.
CHICAGO, Nov. SO. The dissensions
which fox the last year have prevailed
in the ranks of the teamsters' union
aere today were carried into the trial
of Cornelius P. Shea, who, in company
with IS other men. Is on trial for al
leged conspiracy in connection with the
groat teamsters' strike of June, 1905.
Albert Young, former president Of the
teamsters' union; William Kelly, busi
ness agent of the coal teamsters' un
ion, and William Murphy, said to nave
been a "member of the wrecking crew
during the strike, withdrew their-pleas
of not guilty and entered pleas of
guilty. Ail of the men declared their
intention of turning state's- evidence.
The incident caused great excitement
In tho courtroom and took the other
defendants completely by surprise.
Shea and Young had for years been
close friends and had worked through
a number of strikes side by side. Since
the last convention of the teamsters'
union, however, they have been op
posed to each other.
Great Shock to Shea.
As soon as court opened today At
torney Leroy Brown, who has not prev
iously appeared in the case, addressed
Judge Ball, saying:
"Your honor, I desire to give notice
that I herewith enter my appearance
as counsel for the following named de
fendants in this case:
"Albert Young, Willam Kelly and
Michael Murphy."
The attorneys for the defense showed
their surprise at this announcement,
and a moment later, when it was an
nounced that- alj three men desired to
enter pleas of guilty, they were for a
time taken completely aback. Presi
dent Shea turned in his chair and
stared fiercely at Young, who returned
his look with an indifferent stare. The
statement was then made by Attorney
Brown that his clients desired to turn
state's evidence.
The attorneys for the defense then
informed the court that they demanded
the right of reopening the examination
of the jurors in order to question the
jurors regarding their acquaintance
with Attorney Brown. The court over
ruled them and an exception was taken
by the defense and granted.
Outgrowth of Feud.
The trouble between Albert Young
and Cornelius P. Shea - resulted from
tne effort made by the former to se
cure the presidency of the Interna
tional Teamsters' Union. He represent
ed an element in - the-union-that was
opposed to Shea and dissatisfied with
his methods Of conducting the Chicago
strike. Shea was re-elected and Young
then organized a rival organization,
which is known as the United Team
sters of America. Since the creation 'of
the latter body there has been bitter
strife between teamsters and assaults
and fights on the streets have occurred.
When court convened in the afternoon
the defense renewed its efforts to obtain
a-delay. It was declared by the attorneys
for the defense that the action of Young,
Kelley. Murphy and Sehultz in changing
their pleas had so taken the defense by
surprise that it was impossible for the de
fense to proceed. Judge Ball overruled
the request for the defense and ordered
the trial to proceed. The afternoon was
taken up by Assistant State's Attorney
Miller, who outlined the case of the state.

This was one of the speediest administra

being adjusted. He made only a short
