Man Who Informed on Hyde
and Benson Gives Little
Evidence.
LETTERS SENT HERMANN
Zabriskie First Warned Him ot
Vrauds and He Objected to In

Testifies to deputation.
fIRKGOXlA.V NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ftiuton, March 13. Joost H. Schneider,
the man whose alleged confession to
Sppoial Agent Holzlnger disclosed to the
Federal authorities the vast land frauds
in Oregon and California, was called to
the stand today as a witness for the
prosecution In the case of Btnger Her
mann. In view of the sweeping charges
which Holzlnger reported Schneider had
made to him. it was expected that he
would make some startling revelations
of the methods used by the alleged land
conspirators in securing big tracts of
public land. Instead, however. Schneider,
wrapped in the mantle of his constitu
tional privilege, refused to answer ques
tions propounded to him by District At
torney Baker on .the ground that to
answer would incriminate him.
Schneider Is under Indictment for land
frauds, being one of the defendants In
the Hyde-Benson-chnelder-Dlmond case
and Justice Stafford ruled that Schneider
need not respond to Mr. Baker's In
quiries. Before invoking his privilege. Schneider
identified his signature to letters offered
by the prosecuting attorney addressed
to him by Hermann, in which reference
was made to other correspondence. The
prosecutor asked if Schneider had writ
ten any letters to Hermann prior to the
date of the letters from Hermann to
him. Schneider declined to answer on
the ground that he would be giving testi
mony against himself. The witness was
then discharged, his examination of more
than half an hour having proven of no
value to eithpr side.
How Hermann Learned of. Frauds.
Karllcr in the day, while the District
Attorney was endeavoring to find out
what had become, of the letters which
first apprised the Land Office of the land
frauds, A. S. Worthington. chief counsel
for Hermann, produced the letters and
admitted that they had been kept by
Hermann and had never been in the Land
Office flies. Mr. Worthlngton gave the
letters to Mr. Baker, who had them read
to the Jury. They were written April 29
and May 11 1902. by J. A. Zabriskie, a
lawyer ot Tucson, Arix.. who is now
Judge. In them Judge Zabriskie gave ex
plicit information as to the transactions
of F. A. Hyde & Co.; and suggested what
the department should do in the matter.
The writer explained that his information
had been received from a client. This
client, he said, he was trying to protect.
,The Holzinger investigation and report
uncovering gigantic operations In public
land followed the receipt of the Zabriskie
letters.
Willis C. Hawley. of Salem. Hermann s
successor in Congress, this afternoon tes
tified that Hermann still holds a good
reputation in Oregon. The general opin
ion in that state. Mr. Hawley said, was
:hat Hermann in his whole official career
iiad never done anything with a wrong
ful motive.
Hermann Kent Bracts to Himself.
W. O. McGee. a clerk in the Land Office
inee 1SS9. testified that he was contest
clerk in the special service division at
the time Mr. Holzlnger- report was re
ceived at the department. He was the
lrst man to get hold of it and imme
diately took it to Hermann, to whom he
read it. He and Hermann then discussed
the report. Hermann asking him what he
thought about it. He said he told Her
mann that, if the statements made in the
report were true, they disclosed the most
illgantic frauds in the history of the
Land Office and that he thought the Sec
retary of the Interior should be Informed
of the presence of the report in the of
lice. At this, he said. Hermann took um
brage, declaring that he was Commis
sioner and that he would attend to what
ever investigation wag to be made. Her
mann ordered him to write to Holainger
to gather additional details.
Mr. McGee said he left the report that
night with Assistant Commissioner Rich
ards, got it back next morning and soon
thereafter turned it over to Hermann. He
lid not see it again.
BITTER WITH MRS. THAW
(Continued rrom First Pae.)
Hummel about her trip through Europe
with Thaw.
"Mr. Hummel,' she said, "then dictated
Jt lot of thing's to a man and put In lots
about Harry Thaw which was not true
ftt all.'
Ponies Knowing What She Signed.
she d fntcd signing1 any paper In Hum
mers office, but admitted having signed
pome papers later in White's studio. She
said she- did not know what the papers
were. nie time afterward, she says, she
demanded that White show her the pa
per. She was taken to Hummers office
and there a paper bearing her signature
whs shown Iut and destroyed. She was
not allowed to examine it. she declared.
Almost since the beaming of the trial
Mr. Jerome has been trying to put in a
photographic copy of the affidavit. It de
veloped yesterday that the copy was made
by the same photographer who had been
employed -by Stanford White to make the
"tired butterfly" and other pictures of
Kvelyn Nesbit.
Mr. Jerome continue quite optimistic
about bringing the taking of testimony to
a close this week, but others who have
followed the trial believe the end is still
ten days or two wee,ks away.
1 Ul'ClAIi POINT IS REACHED
Jerome Tries to Prove Mrs. Thaw
Never Told Her Story.
NEW YORK. March 1.1. James
Clinch Smith. Stanford White's broth
er-in-law. was called again as a wit
npBS In the. Thaw trial this morning.
Mr. Smith was late in arriving and Mr.
Jerome summoned Abraham Hummel to
the stand. Scarcely had Hummel taken
his scat when Smith appeared. There
upon Hummel was temporarily ex
cused. Mr. Smith was questioned by Mr. Del
mas for the defense as to the cable
gram from Mr. Jerome summoning him
to appear as a witness. Air. Mnun
said., lie did not -have either" the original
of tho cablegram or a copy.
X remember th-Q message it read;
Your evidence most important; your
attendance desired.' "
He had first communicated this evi
dence to his lawyers.
Mr. Smith said he returned to this
country on February 17 and communi
cated with the District Attorney's of
fice on the 19 tli. He had reduced to
writing his conversation with Thaw
upon the roof garden and had shown
the memoranda to his counsel and Mr.
Garvan. Mr. Delmas had no further
questions, and Mr. Smith was excused.
Mr. Hummel again took the stand.
He had testified before the arrival of
Mr. Smith that he saw Evelyn Nesbit
at his office October 27, 1903, after her
return from Europe.
"Did you. after a conversation with
Kvelyn Nesbit, on October '27, dictate
something to a stenographer?" asked
Jerome.
Delmaa objected upon the ground
that this was not in rebuttal of any
testimony offered by the defense.
Justice Fitzgerald overruled the ob
jection. "Yes. sir," answered the witness.
Jerome Soon Strikes Snag.
"Did Mrs. Thaw tell you that Thaw
wanted to injure White and put him in
the penitentiary and that Thaw begged
her time and again to swear to docu
ments he had prepared Involving Stan
ford White and charging that he had
drugged and ruined her, and that
Thaw had beaten her because she
would not sign the paper?" asked Je
rome. Delmas rose to lay the ground for
an objection. He asked Hummel if
at the time of the conversation with
Miss Nesbit he was acting as her legal
adviser and attorney.
"No, I was acting only for Stanford
White," replied the witness.
"And you didnot contemplate some
action in Miss Nesbit's behalf?'
"No, there was no legal action con
templated so far as she was concerned.
There was no communication between
the witness and Miss Nesbit as counsel
and client-
"i must object." said Delmas, "to the
question, upon the ground that it is not
proper rebuttal."
Before the court could rule, Delmas
put further questions to the witness
which had reference to the payments
he received from Stanford White for
legal services. The amount paid for
this particular item of service, witness
said, was about $100. Delmas renewed
his general objection.
"It is not rebuttal, said Delmas. "It
Is also Immaterial and irrelevant and
not proper testimony."
Mr. Jerome proceeded to argue the
points of law involved. Mr. Jerome's
contention was that, if it could be
shown that under oafh Miss Nesbit de
nied that she told Thaw the stories
about Stanford White which she testi
fied to having told him In Paris, that
fact must have weight with the jury
ln deciding whether she had in truth
made the statement related in her
testimony and which has been the ba
sis of the theory that the defendant
is insane.
Either Heroine or Perjurer.
'If her story is true." continued Mr.
Jerome. "I know nothing In history or
literature more sublime than Evelyn
Nesbit's self-sacrifice in her renuncia
tion of the love of the man who, we
are told, was paying honorable court
to her.
'But she returned to America on Oc
tober 24 and on October 27 she was in
Hummers office with the man who
she now says ruined her and there she
said that in Europe Thaw had stripped
her and beaten her with a whip be
cause she refused to sign a paper ac
cusing White of drugging her. Stan
ford White, she said, never harmed her.
'The proposition I make to the court
is very simple. If Evelyn Nesbit did
Cot tell Thaw this story in Paris, the
reason for his insanity disappears. If
she did not tell the story, the hypo
thetical question on which the experts
have based their opinion disappears.
I contend that under the law I have a
right to show that this woman made
the statement outside of court, but un
der oath, that she did not tell Thaw-
would not agree to any such story as
she has told here."
May Wind Up Case Friday.
Mr. Delmas said that, as the hour for
the luncheon recess was approaching
and as Mr. Jerome's argument necessi
tated an extended reply, he would ask
that the recess be taken immediately
so that his argument might not be in
terrupted. Mr. Jerome amended the motion by
asking that court adjourn for the day,
saying: "I am very desirous of getting
through with this case and we could
save time If we adjourn now until to
morrow morning and in the meantime
Mr. Delmas and myself can probably
agree upon the wording of a hypo
thetical question and thereby save time
for the court which would otherwise
be taken up by arguments and search
ing through the records.
"Unless Mr. Delmas takes up a long
time in his cross-examination of the
experts. I see no reason why the case
should not be closed on Friday."
Justice Fitzgerald ordered the ad
journment until tomorrow morning.

body look upon the Japanese incident as
now closed, insofar as San Francisco is
concerned. There is, however, it is said,
an unwritten reservation to the effect

promises to the board regarding discre
tionary restriction of collie Immigration

board may feel at liberty to re-adopt the
October resolution and again segergate
the Japanese. Following is the official

New York, because of the tightening up
of the money market there. Conditions
are changing rapidly and it is necessary
to anticipate what may come next year.
The suspension of this work does not
necessarily mean abandonment. If the
Government or states were guaranteeing
our bonds, things would be different."
Mr. Mohler emphatically indorsed the
statement made by President Stickney. of
the Chicago-Great Western in his inter
view at Washington, in which he ex
pressed the belief that the people were
laying the foundation for a tremendous
panic Mr. Stickney approved the actions
of the President, so far as he had gone.
but said the state Legislatures were vying
with each other to pass laws regulating
rates and methods of the railroads and
that many of them will be forced into
bankruptcy if the present attitude of the
people continues.
HILL PREDICTS HIGHER RATES
Says Present Conditions Would Soon
Bankrupt Railroads.
ST. PAUL. March 13. "I want to go on
record here that your rates will be ad
vanced in the Northwest instead of being
reduced. They will be advanced simply
because it is necessary to provide the
service. Now I am not complaining about
the rates, but present conditions will
bankrupt some of the roads in this state."
Thus declared J. J. Hill, president of
the Great Northern, before the Sundberg
Senate committee, which is investigating
the value of railroad properties in the
state. Mr. Hill said the company had
adopted the method of reducing rates as
the revenue has justified, and an inves
tigation of the records would show that
its rates, especially on grain and farm
products, are lower than in other sec
tions of the country. Great Northern
rates applied to Vnion Pacific traffic
would mean a reduction in the Vnion Pa
cific income of nearly JS.OU0.000 and in the
case of the Northwestern of nearly that
amount.
Asked by James Manahan if it were
true that the lines In the East have not
been making enormous profits recently,
Mr. Hill replied that he did not thlnk so.
ia saidHhe whole Question ot operation
will be on a different basis; the cost has
increased so much that he knew of an
Eastern line which had advanced rates.
"I think all of the railroads of the
country ' today have ' received a check
they will not get over for many, many
years," he asserted.
CO-OPERATE ENFORCING LAW
Fink Admits Obedience of Railroads
Necessary to Peace.
NEW YORK. March 13. Henry Fink,
chairman of the board of directors of
the Norfolk & Western Railroad, who
has been in active railroad service for
56 years, and George J. Gould, added
their voices yesterday to those who have
spoken for co-operation between the rail
roads, the Government and the public.
Mr. Fink said:
"The thing has got to be gone through
making the people see the facts In the
case. The idea has been heretofore that
the railroad men have been too busy to
explain the complicated railroad problem
to the people on the one hand and the
people have been too busy to study it for
themselves on the other hand.
"There are, however, two ail Important
things In this matter of co-operation.
Congress must not only pass wise laws,
but the railroads must obey them both in
letter and spirit, without attempting an
evasion, and must co-operate in their
enforcement. That is the only way In
which co-operation can be put on & satis
factory basis between the railroads and
the Government. ,
George J. Gould, In his statement, said:
"The interests of the railroads and
those of the public are Identical, and
they always have been so. Sometimes
the public and sometimes the railroads
fail to realize the fact, but it is never
theless true that their interests are one
and the same.
"If the railroads are making money, the
public is pretty sure to be making money,
too, while, on the other hand, if the rail
roads are not prospering, the case is
pretty sure to be the same."
BR VAX EXPLAINS THE CRISIS
Says Railroads Terrorize Legisla
tures and Water Stock. .
BTXGHAMPTON. N. Y.. March 13, A
representative of the Associated Press to
day asked William J. Bryan on his ar
rival here what effect the Harriman and
other investigations would have on the
agitation in favor of the Government own
ership or management of railroads. He
replied:
"The most interesting phase of the situ
ation is the refusal of the people to lend
money freely to the railroads. The rail
road managers say this is due to hostile
legislation, but this is a mistake. There
has been no hostile legislation of suf
ficient severity to impair the real value
of railroad securities, if the railroads
have been honestly conducted upon an
honest capitalization.
"If the investing public is alarmed, it
is because the railroad managers. In a
vain effort to terrorize the legislatures,
have carried matters too far. If any
other reason is needed for the hesitancy
on the part of investors, the investigations
furnish it, for the inquiries have shown
to what extent railroad stocks have been
watered.
"But what is the alternative? Must the
Government refuse to investigate rotten
management for fear the mismanaged
railroads no longer will be able to fool
the public into buying inflated securities?
The sooner the railroads are put on an
honest "basis the more secure will the in
vesting public feel.'
SLOWER AND FEWER TRAINS
Railroads Plan to Offset Ix by
Two-Cent Fares.
CHICAGO. March 13. The Record Her
ald today says:
Western railroad officials are discussing
the advisability of lengthening out the
running time of fast trains with a view
to greater economy of operation.
It is stated that owing to 2-cent pas
senger legislation and the necessity of
conserving revenue everywhere, the West
ern officials believe a general lengthen
ing in train schedules is advisable. It is
said that all that remains to carry the
plan into effect is an agreement as to the
time it is advisable to make. Tentative
schedules are being prepared by several
roads with a view to presentation to the
meeting.
Although an understanding has been
reached, there is a general feeling that
the time of the fast trains between Chi
cago and Omaha and Kansas City Ghould
be lengthened by about two hours, the
time of the fast trains between Chicago
and Denver by five or six hours, and the
time of the fast trains between Chicago
and the Pacific Coast, by nearly half a
day.
The saving In expense by such a re
arrangement of schedules would result
in reducing the running cost of trains
affected, and would also make It pos
sible to take off a large number of local
trains.

NEW YORK. March 13. J. Pierpont

on the steamer Baltic. Mr. Morgan went
aboard the steamer last evening, which
was scheduled ' to sail early today. Mr.
Morgan declined to be interviewed on his
Washington mission, and refused to state
what would be accomplished by the rail

ton statement. It is not known definitely
how long Mr. Morgan will be gone.

ONE PACIFIC FLEET
Navy Department Announces
Single Command.
BROWNSON ADMIRAL OF ALL
Three Squadrons of Two Divisions
Each Will Sleet for Drill and Ex
ercise Xo Ships to Be Trans
ferred From the Atlantic.
WASHINGTON, March ' IS. Complete
plans for the consolidation into one fleet
of all American cruising vessels in the
Pacific Ocean were made public today
by the Navy Department. The order
probably will go Into effect about the
end of this month, when Rear-Admiral
Brownson will become Commander-in-chief
of all American naval vessels in
the Pacific. Rear-Admiral Swinburne
will be commander of the second squad
ron and Rear-Admiral I. H. Dayton will
command the third squadron.
At present the warships In the Pacific
are . organized into the Asiatic fleet and
the Pacific squadron. Their consolidation
is in accordance with the Navy Depart
ment's policy instituted by the abolition
of the South Atlantic and European
stations in the Atlantic and the concen
tration of ail vessels in that ocean under
one command.
In a statement from the Navy Depart
ment it is shown that the groups of ships
in the Pacific will remain In the same
general position and perform much the
same duty they have at present. They
will, however, probably meet for gen
eral drills and exercises. As far as is
practicable, docking and minor repairs
to vessels in Asiatic waters will be made
at Cavite or Olangapo. The department
does not expeet to send any of the bat
tleships now in the Atlantic to the Pa
cific. The first squadron of the Pacific fleet
will be made up of the following vessels:
First division West Virginia, Colorado,
Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Second division Chattanooga, Galves
ton and two others of -the same class.
The second squadron will consist of
these vessels:
Third division Charleston, Milwaukee,
St. IvOuis, Chicago.
Fourth division Albany, New Orleans,
Cincinnati, Raleigh.
The third squadron will consist of:
Fifth division Rainbow, Concord,
Helena, Wilmington.
Sixth division Volcano. Quiros. Villa
lobos, Callao. Paraguay, Pampanga,
Panay. Arayet.
The coast defense vessels Monterey and
Monadnock and a number of submarines
will be in this division, also two torpedo
flotillas, including the Barry, Date.
Decatur, Chauncey, Bainbridge. Paul
Jones and Preble.
OLD SCALE IS REFUSED
Butte Union Votes Down Proposal
of Publishers.
BUTTE. March 13. Tonight the local
members of the International Typo
graphical Union finally voted down the
proposition of the Butte and Anaconda
newspaper publishers that the compos
itors return to work at last year's
scale, which would mean a reduction
60 cents per man per day.
When the pressmen struck one
month ago tonight, the printers were
necessarily locked out. Later, the
pressmen were willing to arbitrate, but
the publishers demanded that the com
positors accept the 1906 scale, which
the latter refused to do. After a couple
of weeks of delay, the printers decided
to arbitrate, but the publishers' demand
was renewed and the question was
finally disposed of tonight. This ac
tion leaves the newspaper situation
n'v'tt where It was 30 days ago, with
no immediate prospect for a resump
tion of dally paper service.
