Final Hearing' Today.
I" n lens something unexpected hap
pens at the final hearing this morning
by the County Court of the graft
chargea brought recently against Coun
ty Detective Maber and others, the In

County Court Is concerned. The court
was Informed yesterday that Armand

be on hand for the hearing as will also
Frank Mlnto. another North End
saloonkeeper who has been subpenaed

While neither of these men has been
hesrd regarding the graft charges M
Is said both will deny that they con
tributed to a "Jack pot" alleged 4o have
gone to Maher and others to Insure
protection of the North. End saloons

Tony Arnaud ssld that Fercot. Mlnto
and Kdward Donovan were the main
supporters of the "protection Jackpot"
and with their denial, the foundation of
the graft chargea will be shattered.

Is Helir The speaker said last night:
"Our dead friends are not In heaven.
They are resting, awaiting Christ's seo
ond coining. God made man of dust, and
breathed Into his nostrils the breath of
life. He then told him If he ate of the
forbidden fruit he would aurely die.
Satan came and said he would not aurely
die. He succeeded In getting man to
eat of the tree, and then God told Adam
he was dust and that he would go back
to dust.
"At the end of the 1080 years' sleep we
are told that the wicked dead will be
raised, and after that comes the second
death. The wagea of sin Is death, not
eternal life. Life Is life whether lived
In the parlor, the cellar or the garret.
It Is life whether lived In heaven or In
hell. Death la not living In hell. It la
cessation of life. The wicked will not
live In perpetual torment."

Federal grand Jury. John H. Bullock,
of the firm of Lange & Bullock, of this
cltv and formerly president and gen
eral mamager of the John J. Sesnon
Company of Seattle and Alaska, was
arrested at noon yesterday at his office
In the Beck building by Deputy United
Sates Marshal Becker. He was released
an hour later under 12500 bonds.
Charles E. Hueston. of Seattle, who
was vice-president of the Pacific Coast
Coal Company. Indicted at the, same
time as a party to the-same alleged
conspiracy was arrested In Seattle at 4
o'clock.
The Indictment Is based on a coal
contract made In 190S between the
Sesnon Coal Company of Nome, and
the United States Government for sup
plying about 4000 tons of coal for use
st Forts Davla and St. Michael, near
Nome. Alaska. In lo. The specific
charge la that a conspiracy was en
tered Into between the representatives
of the coal companies whereby an ex
orbitant price was exacted, by means
of which a aum aggregating In the
neighborhood of 192.000 was realized by
the deal. The Government was com
pelled to pay 127 a ton for coal at the
two forte during 10 although coal
was sold at retail In small quantities
at $11 and In large quantities at $17.
It Is alleged that a conspiracy was In
existence during that year for the rea
son that, these companies have fur
nished coal at Nome and St. Michaels
since for $16.
In addition to conspiring to defraud
the Government, the accused men are
accused of conspiring together to sup
press the evidence of the fraud, which
la a separate offense.
B. D. Townsend. assistant to the Attorney-General,

ment was returned at Tacoma Is now In

CASE
Indictment Hurried to Outdo Statute
of Limitations.
SEATTLE, Aug. J The charge
agalnat'John If. Bullock Is conspiracy
to defraud the Government while he
waa manager of the John J. Sesnon
Company, which haa offices In Seattle
and Nome. - It Is alleged that three
years ago the Northwestern Commer
cial Company andSthe John J. 8esnon
Company conspired unlawfully to force
a high price of coal upon the War De
partment for supplies for Forts Davis
and Llsoum. Alaska.
It la alleged that tho Sesnon Com
pany and the Northwestern Company
entered Into an agreement whereby
the Sesnon Company obtained the coal
contract and divided with the North
western Company, .paying tha latter,
through Captain Jarvls, $67u0 aa Jte
share of the spoils.
The alleged unlawful transaction
was laid before the Department of Jus
tice a year or more ago by H. J. Doug
las, former auditor of the North
western Commercial Company, who
was removed from office through the
Influence af Captain Jarvls, a bitter
quarrel having arisen between tha two
men. The Department of Justice sent
an investigator to the Northwest to
look into the charges, and he reported
that he was unable to verify them, and
another man waa made Investigator.
In the meantime Delegate James
Wlckersham. of Alaska. Introduced
In Congreaa a resolution reciting these
allegatlona and making certain others.
The next day Captain Jarvls. who had
faced death In many forms In the Arc
tic, and-who wore the gold medal of
Congress for heroism, "shot and killed
himself In Sesttle. driven to despair by
the charges filed against him.
The Wlckersham charges delayed the
Department of Justice' work and put
the persons accused on their guard,
adding greatly to tha work of Burdett
D. Townsend. assistant to tha Attorney-General,
who was then Investigat
ing the case. Mr. Townaend was bare
ly able to gather his evidence In -time
to secure the Indictment before It would
have been barred by the statute of limi
tation. The Northwestern Commercial
Company haa ceased to exist, and Its
former exeouttve la dead. The Sesnon
Company baa also changed hands, and
Ita former manager. John H. Bullock.
Is engaged In business in Oregon.

today on a Federal warrant cnarging
conspiracy to defraud the Government
In connection with contracts for fur
nishing coal to Army poata In Alaska.

sum of $1600.
The -Indictment la vague and I
really don't know yet what I am

night. I presume, hovasver, that it Is
In connection with the sale of coal to
the Government by the Sesnon Com
pany In 1S0S. The Faclflc Coast Coal
Company la a partner of the Seanon
Company, but we have nothing to do
with the selling end. The Sesnon Com
pany had a contract with Dunsmulr
mlnea In British Columbia, and used
our steamships, as far as possible, to
transport the coal to the North. We
alao own ground at Nome, on which the
Seanon Company haa located Ita light
erage plant and warehouse.
The expense of tying up an Enormous
amount of coal during the Winter at
Nome la heavy, and for that reason our
company aaalsted In financing the un
dertaking. The coal mined by us in
thla etate waa jiot suitable for Alas
kan use and the Sesnon Company waa
obliged to go to British Columbia to
fill ita contracts. The coal was mar
keted by the Sesnon Company, and we
had nothing to do with that part of
the business."
