Senator Maya, W. N. Jones and George
Sorenton. Judge Hunt said yesterday
that If stronger evidence to prove Will
Unison's connection with the case were

the convicted congressman at the time
of hi trial with I)r. Van Ciener and
Marlon It, Bigg.
Mr. Hcncy put two of the witnesses
used at the WNIIIinmson trial on tlie
stand today. The defense ohjected to
their testimony on the ground that the
order of prof wa nt regular Mr. Hen
ey thenwlthdrew the two witnesses and

He then directed Irwin Ritenhouse
to tell Special Inspector Neiihausen to
issue subpoena fop all the rest of the
witnesses In the former Williamson trial.
Evidence was Introduced against
Williamson at last night's session by
the testimony of Dr. Andrew C. Smith
of this city. The testimony of Dr.
Smith went a long ways-townrd estate
lMiltig Williamson's connection with the
scheme. Ills story wan that In 1002
Williamson approached him and sold
him a one-third Interest In 13,000 acres
of school hinds, He told him there
was ft likelihood of ft forest reserve
being created and when asked how he
knew said he was in a position to know,
Dr. Smith testified that ho lost over
$2,200 In the deal. The certificates for
the land were placed In trust In the
Hllvernla bank of this city and have
since been canceled by the state.
Along the same line with this teati
monv was that of Senator Sig Slchel,
this forenoon. He testified that Will
iamson sold him Ills third of the school
land certificate In 1002, for which he
gave hi mtwo checks, amounting in all to
$2,200. Williamson pointed out to him,
so the witness said, that by an act of
the Legislature, increasing the pries
of school land from $1.25 to $2.25, the
land had nearly doubled in value. Caught
by such ngumcnt as this, Mr. Slchel
turned over the checks and the deed
was done. Absolved from the burden of
holding the school land certificates, Mr.
Williamson afterward, it is alleged, for
warded to Washington the protests
agulnitt the creation of the proposed reserve.

PllH.ADKI.rHIA. Sept. 7 Forgeries
for lncov than a quarter of a million
dollars by the late President Hippie of
the defunct Real Estate Trust com
pany, have been discovered by Receiver
Knrle, The latter made this statement
lute tonight, adding that he had no
Idea where Hippie's villany would end.
Hippie In order to meet his overdrafts
used the name of sonio of the most
prominent business men of this city on
notes, which In some cases amounted
to $150,000. The president had taken
copies of the signatures of a number
of business men, while their checks or
negotiable securities passed through his
hands. When pinched for money to
mcot the overdrafts or some big Segal
oan, Knrle said, as a last resort, Ilip
plo would draw up a note with a forged
signature attached. This ho would take
to the cashier or paying teller, saying
ho had personally mado the loan and it
was discounted. With the amount to
his credit ho would satisfy the pressing
claim. Karle said tonight that In or
der to accomplish the reorganisation of
the trust company, he would accept the
presidency if the depositors demanded.
It developed today that the last state
examination of the trust company was
mado by Ranking Commissioner Reedcr
In 1002. Robert McAfee, state banking
commissioner from 1003 to 1003, made
no examination and Commissioner Bcr-
key, who succeeded McAfee, also failed
to examine the Institution, The com
missioners and two expert accountants
who were appointed yesterday, an

Sullivan Aiiswers Attack
With Bitter Words.
SHARP ACCUSAH0NS
Nebraskan Charged With Dishon
esty Insincerity, and Un
truthfulness. BRYAN'S CHARGES DENIED
Open Challenge to Prove Hit Words Is
sued to Bryan Says Bryan Made
Money Out of Politics in
Speeches.
NEW YORK, Sept. 7. National Com
mitteeman liogrr C. Sullivan of Illi
nois tonight issued a lengthy state
ment, replying to Ilryan's recent re
marks on htm. Sullivan says he regrets
this or any circumstance tending to
ward discord in the Democratic party.
Ho declares that Bryan's speech at Chi
cago, if it means anything, means that
Bryan will have his own way rather than
have the Democratic ticket win. If
though the disaffected Democrats in
Illinois, Republicans are returned to
Congress in the close districts, the Dcm
ocratic party of the nation will havi
Hi van to thank, Sullivan takes up at
length each charge made by Bryan se
rintlm and denies them.
Makes Serious Allegation.
He accuses Bryan of dishonesty, In
sincerity and untruthfulness, both in his
attitude toward the Illinois Democracy
and in his speech about Sullivan. "The
very first paragraph," Sullivan says, "in
Bryan's epeech on me and the Illinois
situation contains a dolibcratc untruth,
Practically every succeeding paragraph
contain another deliberate untruth or
equivocation of the kind we may ex
pect only from a shifty word-juggling
pettifogger
In upholding his contention that he
was entitled to a seat in the last na
tion Democatio convention, Sullivan says
Bryan and his associates made the state
mcnt that some five hundred delegates in
the Springfield convention signed peti
tions or letters repudiating the action
of that convention. "They never," Sul
livan continues, "presented any such
number to the credentials committee of
the national convention. They present
ed some, it is true, but the other side
at the same time, presented telegrams
and affidavits certifying that nearly all
the signatures presented by Bryan and
his associates were forgeries."
Impugns Bryan's Party Fealty.
Sullivan accuses Bryan with having
advised his particular friends in Illinois
to bolt the Democratic ticket and asks:
"Is this the measure of Bryan's party
fealty i Is thia the way Bryan pro
poses to help elect a Democratic con
gress!" To Bryan's charge that Sullivan
makes money out of politics and the
inference that making money out of
politics is wrong, Sullivan responds that
llr'yan should quit making money
"Bryan has not one dollar that he ever
made out of anything but politics. He
tried to be ft lawyer. He was a failure
at it. He tried to be a newspaper
editor. He was a failure at that. As
fortunes go, he is a rich man. He
made every dollar out of politics as a
stepping stone to the lecture platform,"
In It For "Gate Receipts."
Sullivan says that Bryan is in pol
itics because it helps his "gate receipts."
"Like actresses who have discarded
tho stolen diamond dodge for the great
CRY
GVEN
er publicity of a divorce suit, Bryan will
quit running for president and quit
polities just a soon as he discovers
tome other form of advertising that will
bring more dollars to the box office
when he is announced to speak on the
stage.
Sullivan concludes by challengipg
Bryan to poll the delegates to the con
vention two years ago, under the di
reetion of t lie supreme court of Illinois,
and if the majority of these delegates
say Sullivan was elected by fraud, then
Sullivan will resign from the national
committee. If Biyan's charge is false
then he will insist that Bryan an
nounce he is no longer a candidate fur
President.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7.-As a re
sult of todays developments there is a
prospect of a deadlock between the Unit
ed Railways and its employes. An un
expected complication has arisen to
night through the demand of the em
ployes for a recognition of the closed
shop, which President Calhoun has
refused to concede. In his reply Cal
houn states he cannot make it too
clear that he will not discharge any em
ploye who faithfully and efficiently per
forms his work to make place for tome
one else. This fact, however, does not
in any way affect the men returning to
work. He adds, there are only about
twenty men affected by this question,
and he trusts some way will be found
to avoid further trouble.

HAVANA, Sept. 7 All peace over
tun's are blocked by the refusal of
Guerrera to enter into any arrangements
for an armistice, Guerrera's answer
to the government's announcement of
an agreement to grant a ten days' ar
mistice is the blowing up of two bridge
on the 'Western Railway and an at
tack on San Juan de Martinez.
It is said tonight that San Juan de
Martinez is in the hands of the insur
gents, and the garrison consisting of 100
recruits and a small force of rurals,
has been defeated or captured. The fact
that other leaders of the insurrection
are willing to agree -to an armistice
can have little effect so long as Guer
rero is determined to prosecute the war,
and there is slight doubt in any quar
ter that Guerrero can control the situ
at ion in his own regino.
His force is reported by all those who
have visited him to range from three
to four thousand men, all well mount'
ed and some well and some indifferently
armed. The government force oppos
ing numbers 2,200 men and three ma
chine guns. Guerrero refused point
blank to accept an armistice, unless the
last presidential election and congres
sional election shall be annulled. That
the government will consent to this is
out of the question, and tonight pros
pects are for a continuance of the war.
Manager Livesey, of the Western
Railway tonight informed the Associated
Press that a special train carrying ma
chine guns to Pinar del Rio turraed back
at Las Sovras, where it was found
freight train preceding it had been held
up by the rebels. The troop train was
unable to pass and after exchanging fire
with the rebels, returned to Las Fa'
