BROTHER GOMES
TO AID HUESTON
Further Proof That Capitol
Architect Will Desert
Confederates.
BUNCOED BY SANDERSON
Bill for Furniture Under One Con
tract Passed Under Another and
Multiplied Three Times.
Furniture on Exhibition.
HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 29. That Jo
seph M. Hueston, architect of the capltol,
means to take care of himself at the
expense of his four co-defendants in the
conspiracy cases now on trial in the
Dauphin County Court Is apparent from
the testimony today of his brother. Rev.
Samuel C. Hueston, of Philadelphia, a re
tired Presbyterian clergyman, who was
called as a witness for the common
wealth. Stanford B. Lewis, the architect who
acted as assistant while the capltol was
being constructed and furnished, and who
is under indictment on two charges of
conspiracy to cheat and defraud the state
in the payment of bills aggregating 192.706
for the capltol furnishings, was also a
witness for the commonwealth.
Buncoed Hueston's Brother.
Rev. Mr. Hueston said that, when his
brother went to Europe in the Spring of
1906 on business for the state, he left
with the witness a signed blank archi
tect's certificate and a power of attor
ney. Soon after the architect's departure
John II. Sanderson, the- contractor and
one of the defendants, appeared with a
bill supported by an affidavit supposed to
be in proper form, for which he asked
and obtained certification of the architect
by the brother's signature.
The commonwealth expects to prove
that this bill was fraudulent In that San
derson was given the contract for cer
tain furnlshngs under one item in the
special capltol furnishings schedule and
billed these articles to the state under
another Hem, the amount of which Is In
excess of the item under which he was
given the contract, and also that some
of those articles were Invoiced to the
state and: paid for as containing three
limes as many feet as they actually con
tained. Furniture Exhibited In Court.
Following the testimony of Rev. Mr.
Hueston and that of I-iewis to the effect
that the architect was expected to cer
tify only to the quality and not the quan
tity of the furnishings, the common
wealth had brought into court end ex
hibited to the Jury two of the sofas, a
table and two clothes-trees supplied by
t Sanderson for the capltol under the "per
foot system." One of the sofas was
measured for the information of the Jury
and was shown to be six feet long. San
derson billed this sofa to the state at
18 feet and was paid for it at the rate
of 118.40 "per foot." The other sofa also
measured six feet, and was billed and
paid for as containing UH4 rfeet. The table
hnd been billed! under Item 22 In the
schedule at 118.40 "per foot," Instead of
under item 24 at $10.40, as called for by
Sanderson's contract. The clothes-tree
was billed as containing 1 feet at $18.40
and should have been furnished, the com
monwealth claims, for S6.66.
Pennypacker Will Testify.
Fix-Governor Samuel Penny-packer, who
was president of the Board of Grounds
and Buildings while the capitol was being
furnished, is expected to testify for the
defense and will probably be called on
Friday. Mr. Pennypacker's colleagues on
the board were ex-Auditor-General "Wil
liam P. Snyder and ex-State Treasurer
William L. Mathues, defendants in the
case now on trial. James M. Shumaker,
ex-Superintendent of Grounds and Build
ings, also a defendant, was executive of
ficer of the board during the time Mr.
Fennypacker was president.

GIVES REIN TO GOSSIPS
PREACHER IETS WOMEN" TALK
ABOUT NEIGHBORS.
One Hundred Gather and Retail
Scandal With Great Gusto
While Pastor Listens.
UTICA. N. T., Jan. 29. (Special.)
Gossiping women met In convention at
the Rev. Henry Mclivrays tabernacle.
In Little Falls, this afternoon, 100 of
them from the towns of the Mohawk
Valley accepting his invitation to assem
ble and talk about their neighbors. It
was a breezy session.
From his rudely constructed pulpit last
Sunday Mr. Mcllvray. who Is preaching
the gospel to all those who care to wan
der In his tabernacle and help fill up his
coffers, and who has gained fame here
abouts by acting as spiritual adviser to
Chester Gillette, now in prison for the
murder of Grace Brown, startled people
in this vicinity by the announcement
that each Wednesday afternoon for a
month he would preside at a circle the
purpose of which was to allow the peo
ple, especially the women, to assemble and
talk about their neighbors He pointed a
moral that by doing this they would
have the opportunity to speaK their
minds under circumstances where no
harm would result
For an hour today a buzzing sound
was heard In the tabernacle. Mr. Mcll
vray was alone with the women, re
porters were barred and the exact tales
were hard to get Nevertheless the evan
gelist met the news writers after the ses
sion and told them it had been a success.
Scandal, he said, seemed to have the
first place on the long list of topics for
gossipers. He refused to give out any
names, but said that he was sure some
of the women had greatly relieved their
minds.
Married men running about with other
women and wives doing the same with
men other than their own was one of the
principal topics of gossip. Troubles with
choir singers, school teachers, church
worshipers and the like came in for a
good share of buzzing. Those who quar
rel with their neighbors over backyard
fences and those who fail to pay their
debts were held up to scorn by some
women, while those talked about in turn
ridiculed those who had previously been
with the evangelist.
"Yes."' the evangelist said, "the circle
was a success and they will be con
tinued as scheduled."
NEW YORK F0R HUGHES
Contlnued From First Page. )
he has not the same confidence in Mr.
Hughes. Moreover, the President be
lieves that Mr. Taft, if nominated,
would make a better showing that any
other man. He regards Mr. Taft as the
strongest man in the field from every
point of view, while he recognizes that
Mr. Hughes' short public career, suc
cessful though it has been, would be a
source of weakness to him should he be
the party nominee.
The Hughes declaration has de
veloped this further fact: Republican
politicians that Is, practical politi
cians and not necessarily machine men
do not favor the nomination of New
York's Governor. In his appointments
he has not been bound by party lines.
This Is construed to mean that as
President he would have the same dis
regard for party. If he believed the
occasion demanded. That is not a
pleasant prospect In the eyes of lead
ing party men. and for that reason
they are not favorable to Mr. Hughes.
These so-called practical politicians,
while in the minority when the votes
are counted, are really stronger than
their numbers would Indicate, and
when arrayed against a candidate can
wield a powerful Influence.
Move of Anti-Roosevelt 3len.
One other thing that seems evident:
Hughes was forced to declare him
self; forced by the men who are an
tagonistic to Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.
Taft. It Is generally believed that he
was put forward at this time in the
hope of heading off the Taft movement,
particularly In New Yorlc. Mr. Taft
has grown tremendously in other sec
tions, and. with the aid of Mr. Roose
velt, seemed to stand a good chance of
capturing the New Tork delegation. He
had gained such headway that New
Yorkers who are anti-Roosevelt first
of all deemed it high time to make
some move to head off the capture of
the New York delegation by the Taft
forces.
What strength Mr. Hughes will de
velop in other states Is yet to be de
termined, but it will require a ' most
vigorous campaign to overcome the
handicap now enjoyed by the Secretary
of War.
Insurance for Coal Miners.
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 29. The sugges
tion of President Mitchell for an insur
ance feature with an Indemnity of J100 for
death or total disability, was discussed
at some length In today's session of the
I'nitcd Mineworkers of America and was
then sent to the committee on constitution
to be redrafted. The convention refused
to impose a fine on locals or members for
violating contracts with operators.

STATE BANK CLOSES DOORS
Mechanics' & Traders' Discontinues
Business Although Solvent.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29. President D. A.
Sullivan, of the Mechanics' & Traders'
Bank, announced shortly before midnight
tonight that the institution would not
open its doors tomorrow. This decision
was reached at a meeting of the board
of directors tonight lasting four hours.
In a statement issued after the meeting
the directors declared the bank solvent,
but the state of the cash resources made
it appear Inadvisable for the bank to
eontinue business.
The Mechanics' & Traders Bank is a
state institution, capitalized at $2,000,000,
and previous to the panic last Fall car
ried deposits amounting to more than
$20,000,000, but this amount has since been
largely reduced.

Panic by Depositing Money.

Gompers, president of ' the American
Federation of Labor, was an impromptu
speaker today before the House com
mittee on banking and currency rt a
hearing on currency legislation. An
swering a question, Mr. Gompers said:
"One thing is certain no blame can
be laid at the doors of the working
men of this country for the recent
financial panic. I myself advised the
workingmen not to withdraw their sav
ings from the banks, but on the con
trary to deposit their hoardings in the
banks."
STBESSEL HEARING E
GENERAL SHOWS LETTER AD
VISING FORT'S SURRENDER.
Communication From Commander
Told Him to Make Peace With
Japan While Possible.
ST. PETERSBURG Jan.' 29. The tak
ing of testimony by the courtmartial
which Is trying Lieutenant-General Stoes
sel for the surrender of the Port Arthur
fortress came to an end today and the
court adjourned until February 4, when
the close of the argument will be heard.
As final justification 'for his surrender
of Port Arthur. General Stoessel intro
duced a letter, today from General Kon
dratakenko, dated October I, 1904. in which
the writer said he recognized the neces
sity of surrendering and asked General
Stoessel to prepare the Emperor for this
and to advise him to make peace with
Japan while the fortress was still in
Russian hands.
General Stoessel addressed the court,
saying he could not follow the advice of
General Kondratakenko, because the lat
ter's troops passed through too many
hands, consequently he defended the
fortress as long as it existed.
BROWN NOT TO VANCOUVER
Does Not Buy Franchise Slay Be
Sold Soon.
SEATTLE. Wash.,-Jan. 29. (Special.)
Indications point to a climax In the Van
couver, B. C, baseball franchise muddle
within 24 hours. J. T. Dickson, who was
at the head of the crack Waterville.
Wash., club last year, is negotiating for
the franchise and will be in, Vancouver
tomorrow afternoon to talk business with
the directors of the Recreation Park
Amusement Company. President Leonard
of Vancouver declined to discuss1 the mat
ter. Manager Dugdale said that he had not
seen Mr. Dickson, but that he had called
early this evening to talk over the base
ball situation. "I am sorry that I missed
him," said Mr. Dugdale, "but I suppose
that he has gone on' to Vancouver."
ABERDEEN. Wash.. Jan. 29. (Special.)
Manager Brown received a message re
cently from Vancouver stating that the
management had received an offer for
their franchise, but if he. Brown, still
wanted it at the offer recently made, he
could have it. The message further stated
that Mr. Brown should decide at once
as the others interested were waiting for
an answer. Brown wired the directors
to sell to the other people. In speaking
of the matter today Mr. Brown said:'
"I believe that the league will be just
the same as last year. Vancouver will
be in with a good team, and this city
will also he there. The reason I think so
Is that Vancouver men say they have a
purchaser for their franchise. I made
them an offer, .but it was because I felt
that a team must be maintained at Van
couver or Aberdeen would be dropped.
I would of course much rather stay here
than go anywhere. And am glad to se
things coming our way."

Straw Points to Agreement on
District Attorneyship.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 29. Senator Bourne has
so far recovered from an attack of
grip as to be at the Capltol today, but
did not appear before the subcommit
tee on judiciary, which is handling
the Schuebel case. Senator Bourne was
not Jnclined to talk concerning the
course he will pursue, but indicated
that when entirely recovered from his
present Illness he might go before the
committee in Schuebel's defense. Sen
ator Fulton said today that he is in
clined to grant Senator Bourne ample
opportunity to present his defense, but
would probably not hold the case open
longer than next week.
Senator Fulton was a dinner guest
of Senator Bourne last evening, and
this gives rise to the belief that a
possible agreement may be reached on
the District Attorneyship. If the mat
ter is not compromised, the subcom
mittee will probably report Febru
ary 10.
