plainly jaded by the long struggle of yes
terday. Grady and HcCarrcn. leaders in
the successful opposition to anti-gambling
bills yesterday, took the occasion to
make bitter attacks upon the Governor.
Senator MeCnrren suggested that "a re
spectful message be sent to the Gov-
rnor. advising him to mind hia own
business.'
Raines, the majority leader, promptly
resented this manner of receiving the
message, and upon his motion the
various recommendations were referred
each to committees.
In the Assembly, Palmer, the minority
leader, and Assemblyman Oliver, both
characterized, the message as "scolding,"
and Palmer mo veil that certified copies
of the vote of the Assembly in passing
the gambling bills be sent to the Gov
ernor, "so that we shall not have to stand
any more lectures on that subject."

Bulgarians Who Invaded "hicaffo
City Hall Have Real Grievance.
CHICAGO. April 9. A football olaver
of the University of Chicago is chief of
tho hungry Bulgarians who marched on
the City Hall yesterday. Investigation
reveals that Ivan Doseff. a graduate of
tho University, is the instigator of the
plan to march on the City Hall. Dozeff,
who is a Bulgarian and last year played
left tackle on the college football eleven,
says he sent the mob to the City Hall
in order to "call public attention" to the
distressing condition of his countrymen.
None of the other Bulgarians has beer.
In the United States more than six
months and in that time not one of them
has had a job. IVuwff said, their little
stock of money now is gone and the im
migrants are on the verge of starvaf

Ioseff said irresponsible Bulgarian
'employment agents"' and steamship
ticket agents are responsible for bring
ing the men over from the old country.
Over i per cent of the men have wives

HYDE HATED SCHNEIDER
Called Informer Blackmailer With
- l ively Imagination Pimond
JVnrt Tress Will Fxmso
Frauds and Warns Hyde.
WA9H1N11TOX. April 9 Perhaps tha
Government plnyert one of ita atronjrest
curds in the Hyrte-Penson-Liumond-Pclinekler
land-fraud trial today when
several letters passing between Pimond
and Hyde shortly after the scandal was
unearthed were submitted to the Jury.
These lei (erg disclose the fact that hit
ter enmity existed between Hyde and
Schneider. Schneider formerly was em
ployed by Hyde hi San Kranelsco. but
they ounrreled and later Schneider told
all he knew of the. alleired fraudulent
schemes which resulted In, the Investiga
tion and the Indictment of the four men.
Hyde wrote to Dlmond. his attorney In
WnMhlnnton. under date of January 15.
l!t:
'Will be better off after Richards comes
in than we are now. . It may be well to
let the matter rest until Hermann itets
out of otflce.'
Calls Schneider Blackmailer.
Hyde shows his III feeling for Schneider
in a letter written to Dlmond the follow
ing day:
If thry wtu Bupend anything on the mers
unjm.lorted statement of a blackmailer.
why would not my statement In return bs
equally effective to release them? It Is
utterly Impossible for me to trace all of
thee people, and It wotild be Inconvenient
to trace others, for It would subject me to
almost unlimited blsrftmall. Try and find
some way and keep It Quiet, anyway.
Hydo also refers to Schneider in this
tenor :
"With Schneider's vivid imagination
and his malignant spirit this was suffi
cient basis for him to make the wild
statements he did, which he never would
dure swear to."
Fears Special Ajrents.
Tho letter states also that Schneider
took advantage of ignorant persons and
made representations to buyers of land.
In another letter Hyde says:
The f!e thlnirs Schneider Is trying to
fasten upon me I do aot roar, but I do fear
the despicable, underhnnded methods of
these special ajtents. They will He. brow
beat and Intimidate people with the same
recklessness that Is manifested In giving
proof in criminal courts.
Dlmond. who realized that the situa
tion In Washington whllo the scandaf
was brewing had become exceedingly
warm for Hyde, wrote the latter as fol
lows: rlmoiid's Warnlnsr to Hyde.
The publicity amounts to this: That the
truth is day by day becoming generaliy
Hnown. Tt Involves a larae number of peo
ple, and l-t is bound, to become public prop
erty. 'If the press should hear that a
secret order existed, you can rest assured
that they would leave no stone unturned
to give it to the people and make it as sen
sational as possible.
Frankly, you were making money toe
fast and got careless, thereby laying your
self liable to puch a calamity as has hap
pened, and it is net a question now of what
you want to do. but what you will have
to do.
Relations of the Gang.
Interesting testimony was given by
Walter K. Stack, who was in the employ
of Hyde and Benson for several years.
Stack testified In regard to the relations
existing between Hyde and Benson in
the conduct of their business and also of
the work done by Dimond and Schneider,
the other defendants.
According to the witness a joint ac
count was kept of the money and land
handled by Hyde and Benson. He said
their offices, which were within half a
sonare of each other, were connected by
private telephone. He said that Dimond
was employed by Hyde as his confiden
tial man. Stack testified that Schneider
had been sent ty Hyde to Oregon to se
cure school lands. The Government
drew from the witness the statement that
he was sent to Tucson, Arix., by' Hyde td
endeavor to get Schneider to withhold
further Information from the Government
after he had already made a partial con
fession to an agent of the Land Office.
