vestigated with equal thoroughness to
that now beins; made in the Govern
ment case here. Witnesses from a
dozen states bcKan to arrive today to
testify before the Federal trrand jury
that meets tomorrow. The Government
officials say there is nothing in the rec
ords to show who these persons are. but
It Is announced that a larpe corps of
Secret Service men have worked for
months to locale them.
These cases are understood to Involve
Governor C N. Haskell.
These Secret Service men have. It Is
ftated. secured from the witnesses alll
flavlts to the effect that they were used
as "dummies" In scheduling the lots,
and that they knew nothing of the use
of their names until asked within the
past three years to slKn quitclnim deeds
to the lots. Abnut half of tiiis num
I er are reported to have sipned the
deeds, while the other half, su.spectlntr
something Irregular, declined to allix
their slKiiatures.
The discovery was made today that
one of the men summoned to serve upon
the crand Jury Is the son-in-law of one
of the men accused and brother-in-law
of another. This man will -e rejected
as a Juror, and the other prospective
Jurors will be examined particularly
with a view of eliminating any relatives
of the men involved.
Twlay Government officials learned
that two of the men accused of fraud
bave died recently, and that a third is
dying of tuberculosis.
Governor Charles N. Haskell and
AdJut-nt-Geneml M. I'anton arrived

from the rail to the sea. and said he
fell some distance and sustained slight
bruises In striking 'he surface of the
water. Captain Seaiby was unhurt.
The Republic was struck on the port
side a little mere than two-tlilrds of the

side, which was clearly visible, but. as
sometimes happens in such cases, she 1-ad

Bodies Sink With Ship.
'Captain sealhy stated that on the
deck o the Republic when she went down
rented two rask.-ts containing the bodies
of those- passengers who had been, killed
in he collision."
According to officers of the Gresham.
the -men of the Republic praised the con
duct of the Pepublii's passengers dur
ing the hours immediately following the
accident, when the vessel mipht go down
at any time. While preparations were
being made to abandon t.ie Republic one
woman beguiled the time of waiting by
sitting down on the deck on the Rcpub
lc to play solitaire. Another pass.-ng t.
a man. came u,j to the tlrst officer and,
apjliix:tig for sp.'uklng to him on such
an occasion, when he know he was very
burr, said that his wife had bien In
jured, and askei that she be taken in
one of the first boats. The man also
was Injured, but made no mention of
the fact. Captain S?alby said that roorsj
was made for these people In the first
boat that left the ship.
Gunner Johar.sen refused to discuss his
"exploit" In lradlng the rescue of Captain
iValby and Second Officer Williams, but
from oMter members of the crew the
story was obtained.
liewu Captain Seaiby.
Before the Republic was taken in tow
by the revenue cutter. Captain Seaiby
aid tie would slirnal before the final
plunge of his ship In order that the
towing lines might be cut and the possi
bility of the Gresham being drawn un
oer avo'ded. Thus? on the Gresham
were watching for the signal, and when
at length it flashed out. accompanied by
to pistol shots, the connecting hawser
was severed with an ax.
At the same instant the Gresham's
lifeboat was lowered and Gunner Johan
en. with four of the Gresham's men
and four from the R-'public, pulled
rtft!y toward the whirlpool made by the
sink. rig steamer. Once when Mr. Johan
sen was peering Into the darkness a small
par. possibly a flagstaff, shot up and
struck him In the face, causing a bad
bruls?. The boat came by accident upon
Second Officer Williams as he was
swimming. Althoush he was hampered
by his heavy overcoat, ha managed to
keep afloat. A few moments later, steer
ing toward a faint cry wmch came out
of the darkness, the boat ran up to a
floating grating top. to which Captain
Seaiby. almost exhausted, was clinging.
The boat's crew tlvn worked back to
the Gresham by signals. As they drew
tip alongside and those on board the
cutter learned that the two officers of
the Republic, were safe, both American
and Prltish sailors tried to outdo each
other in cheering, but many of the Re
public's men wept as they helped their
captain to the deck.
After being furnished with warm, dry
clothing Captain 8a!by and 6econd Offi
cer Williams rapidly recovered from tne
exposure.
It developed late this afternoon from
further Information of the collision that
Berafino Remolo. a quartermaster on the
norida. was ordered by the commander
of the Florida, when the collision threat
nod. It la said, to put ths wheel to star
board. Instead he put the wheel to port
and the Florida rammed the Republic.
According to the same account, the
captain of the Florida picked up an Iron
spike and dealt Remolo a blow over the
head at the moment of the Impact. The
quartermaster, badly hurt, is said to
maintain that he was asleep In his bunk'
at the time of the accident.
PERFECT ORlER PREVAILED
But One Person Panic-Stricken, on
Kepublic, and lie a Man.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2S. Two women
who occupied a stateroom second from
the one where Mrs. Lynch was killed
and a woman who occupied the one be
tween Mrs. Lynch and the one which
was crushed graphically set forth their
experiences.
The former. Mrs. J. B. Crandall. and
Miss Tatter, of Chicago, were among the
first to reach the deck. Mrs. Crandall
said, in telling- her experience:
"Only one stateroom separated ours
from the one In which Mrs. Lynch met
her death. I heard agonizing screams
and every light went out. From the
corridor we saw three rooms smashed
In, very close to ours, a huge anchor
In one. Through the mass of wreckage
two stewards were already extricating
a woman who had been caught in the
impact. At no time was there a panic."
"Before the order for the transfer of
the passensrers to the Florida came,"
said Miss Potter, "nearly all the' pas
sengers were crowded well forward on
the Republic. Nearly all these watched
the captain on the bridge. Distinctions
between first-class passengers and
steerage had been done away with. It
was a lontr time before we knew we
were to be transferred to the Florida.
'Finally Captain Seaiby turned himself
toward us with his hands uplifted, as a
signal for our attention.
" "The passengers will be taken to the
steamship Florida.' he said.
"He told us the women and children
would be first. There was no Jostling
nor exhibition of fear. All in all, the
conduct of the women was excellent. It
Is unfortunate that right at the start
there should have been any exhibition
by one of the men that was otherwise.
He clambered Into tne nrst noanoau.
There was a yell of derision from the
passengers. The sailors who were to
row the lifeboat and the officers In com
mand of them plainly-showed their con
tempt for the fellow. I He came back up
to the high deck of the Republic In
ignominy, the passengers Jeering all the
while he was making the Journey.
"We made our way to the deck of the
emigrant vessel up a ladder and found
ourselves on a very different sort of
steamer than that from which we had
Just Journeyed. We had left what bad
been truly a floating palace. From that
abode we Journeyed to a hovel for the
poor. Women squatted on hatches or
sat on potato bags. The air was filled
with the odor of macaroni. Macaroni
proved the largest portion of our fare
luring the wait on the Italian boat for
the second rescue."
PASsFXfiERS SAFE IX PORT
Italians in Tunic When Second
Transfer Was Made.
NEW YORK. Jan. 26. The dramatic
sea Btory of the wrecking of the White
Star liner Republic by the steamer
Florida, of the IJoyd-Itallan line. In which
six lives were lost and four people were
Injured, came to a close today when the
big steamship Baltic, of the White Star
line, came into port bearing on -board
more than 1600 passengers of the sunken
Kepublic and the crippled Florida.
Stories told by the Republic's passen
gers show that the transfer of the pas
sengers from the Florida to the Baltic
in the dark hours Sunday night came
perilously near resulting in a riot of the
5u0 Italian steerage passengers on the
Florida, who believed that their vessel
w as In imminent danger of sinking. Only
the efforts of the officers aided by sev
eral of the Republic s passengers quieted
the frightened men. who sought to be
the first on board the lifeboats.
The officers of the Baltic report the
deaths of Mrs. Eugene Lynch, of Boston,
and W. J. Mooney. of Langdon, North
Dakota, together with four negro sailors
whose names are not known.
The bodies of Mrs. Lynch and Mr.
Mooney were placed in sealed caskets,
which sank with the steamer Republio
off Nantucket.
PRAISES AMERICAN' AVOMEX
Noted Traveler Says Nowhere Has
lie Seen Greater Bravery.
NEW YORK. Jan. 25. Among those
aboard the Baltic when she arrived to
day with the Republic's passengers was
Henry Savage Lander, the traveler.
"In my travels through two hemispheres."-
he said, "never have I seen
displayed a spirit of womanhood that
could be better In such circumstances
than of the women on the Republic.
When we of the Baltic met them it was
when they were being brought to our
vessel in a tossing sea of small boats,
after nearly a score of hours spent on
the crowded Italian emigrant vessel to
which they had been taken from another
wreck. They had seen, many of them,
the mangled bodies of women who had
been their fellow passengers. Yet no
where was there a whimper, and they
actually came aboard with smiling
faces."
SENECA XEARIXG NEW YORK
Government Boat With Captain
Seaiby Aboard In Lower Bay.
NEW YORK. Jan. 2i The derelict
destroyer Seneca, aboard of which are
Captain Seaiby and his volunteer crew,
who stood by the White Star liner Re
public till she sank, has arrived. The
Seneca passed in Sandy Hook at 9 o'clock
bound for her anchorage at Tompklns-vllle.
Made To Trips on Boat.
Miss Jocelyn Foulkes, of 715 Johnson
street, made two trips on the Republic.
She was a passenger on the ship en
route to Italy In lio5. A year later, on
her return home by way of Liverpool,
Miss Foulkes sailed on the Republic,
the ship having been transferred from
the Mediterranean route.
VERDICT -AGAINST KAMM
.Must Pay Machinery BUI and Inter
est Amounting to Over $10,000.
Failure to pay a machinery bill of
UxO some 19 years ago resulted In
the returning of a verdict against
Jacob Kamm. in the United States
Court yesterday afternoon, which may
occasion him an outlay of between
$10,000 and fiiO.OOO. The verdict, given
by a Jury, directed a full payment by
Kamm to Mary Rees, James IL Rees
and William M. Rees. of $7131. with
Interest ut 6 and 8 per cent from 1890.
The obligation was incurred in 1890,
when the machinery was purchased by
Kamm and shipped here from Philadel
phia. Part payment was made but the
balance was withheld on the pretext
that parts of the machinery were not
up to standard. Nine years later suit
was brought In the United States court
here aguinst Kamm. The action was
made on the original claim of about
$ai00. plus interest and costs, which.
It was alleged at the time, brought the
amount to $7131. The suit has been
lying around on appeals ever since and
only quite recently was pressed. .

Socialists Try Demonstration
at Russian Diet.
DRIVEN BACK BY POLICE
Attempt to Parade Berlin In Behalf
of Electoral Reform .Foiled
by Closing Gate Inquiry
Is Under, Way.
BERLIN, Jan. 28. A large crowd of
Socialists, Including many women, as
sembled In front of the Diet building,
where an Interpellation regarding suf
frage reform was schedule for hearing.
Their purpose was to make a demonstra
tion In favor of reform of the electoral
system. The police were on the scene
In force, however, ar.d dispersed the
crowd. A strong cordon was then es
tablished around the building and further
demonstrations were prevented.
The Socialists then proceeded up
Koenlgensenats Linden through the Brad
enburg gate, but they found this .closed
by policemen. There were sporadic
gatherings of Socialists in other parts of
the city, during the afternoon, but there
was no disturbance of the peace.
Replying to the interpellation In the
Diet, Minister of the Interior, von Moltke,
said the government declined to discuss
the matter because it was at present
making a thorough examination of the
question.
SMELTERS NOT TO CLOSE
MONTANA SMOKE CASE IS IE
CDED AGAINST FARMERS.
Amalgamated Copper Company
Wins Suit on Wlileh Existence
of Business Hinged.
HELENA. Mont.. Jan. 25. The Amal
gamated Copper Company will not have
to close the Washoe smelter, at Ana
conda, in order that smoke and gases
from Its furnaces may not destroy vege
tation, poison the grass with arsenic and
thereby kill the livestock of farmers In
the Deer Lodge Valley. But an Investi
gation will be held to ascertain whether
the discharge of arsenic from the smelt
ers cannot be reduced. This Is the sub
stance of the decision of Judge W. H.
Hunt In the United States District Court
today on tae suit of Bliss and others for
an injunction to compel the closing of
the smelters.
Judge Hunt calls attention to the fact
that the farmers have not sued for dam
ages nor given clear evidence of the past
and future damage done. He says that if
the smelting company Is enjoined. It
must either buy the farms at the farmers'
own prices or sacrifice its own property:
that closing of the smelters would roln
the company, injure Irreparably the cities
of Butte and Anaconda, drive the smelt
ing Industry from the state, destroy the
market of the farmers and destroy or
seriously Injure the value of many kinds
of property.
But in order to give the plaintiffs such
relief as may be reasonably possible, the
court, while denying the Injunction
against operation of the smelters, will
"receive further testimony as to possi
ble means of so treating the :tue dust as
to reduce the quantities of arsenic now
suffered to be released from the stack
and thereafter making any such specific
order as may be equitable and right."
This evidence will be heard on Monday,
February 16. .
The Washoe smelter Is the plant that
President Roosevelt had under considera
tion respecting Its closure for the rea
son that the smoke was also Injurious
to the forest reserves in that vicinity.
The plant treats the ores of the Amal
gamated Copper Company.
The Vnoke case has cost more than
JotO.OfN) and is unique In court procedure
because of the vast volume of testimony
taken. The transcript fills more than
25.0rtO typewritten pages, about 7.500.000
words, as estimated by the stenogra
phers, and holds the record In the United
States. The greatest experts In the
world In numerous lines testified and the
researches which have been conducted
through the progress of the case have
been of great value to the science?, cov
ering a wide field. There were 237 witnesses.
