LAND FRAUD CASE
Convicted Conspirators Will Hear Pen
alty After Next Trial Set for
Tuesday, December 13,
McKinley Gets Bond, But Puter and Mrs, Wat
son Arc So Far Unabfcto Find Sureties
Action on Appeal in Six Months.
Brief respite will be given to the ma
Jorlty of the convicted conspirators
whose gum was established yesterday
afternoon by the vexdlct of the jury In
the land-fraud case In the United States
district court. Next Tuesday S. A. D.
Puter, Horace O. McKinley, Emma L.
Watson and Marie U Ware must again
appear In court to face a second charge
of conspiring to defraud the government
of Its public lands.
Over three of these four Puter. Mc
Kinley and Erama Watson hangs the
shadow of the conviction obtained In the
case which ended yesterday. Marie
Ware was acquitted In that trial, but in
the coming case the charges against her
are much more specific and the Indict
ment Indicates that her part In the con
spiracy was much more apparent.
Dan J. Tarpley, who waa Included in
the verdict of guilty rendered yester
day, la not a defendant in the next
case. Frank H. Walgatnot, who pleaded
guilty last Saturday, la also not a party
to the second Indictment. For Walga
mot nothing remains but sentence, as
his plea of guilty has deprived him of
all chance of appeal The other defend
ants In the first case will appeal to the
United States circuit court of appeals,
which sit fat San Francisco. Probably
not more than four or five months will
elapse before that tribunal passes upon
the appeal. Iy4fcrifrf u
Before appeal can be taken, a motion
for a new trial must be made and de
nied and sentence must be imposed.
This may Involve a delay of several
weeks, as Judge Bellinger has an
nounced his intention of reserving sen
tence until after the conclualon of the
case which Is to be tried next week.
Pending McKlnley's sentence, Eugene
Blaster and Jack Grant became his
sureties yesterday afternoon. His ball
was fixed at 14.000. Blaster and Grant
appeared at the United States marshal's
office shortly afterward and signed his
bond. McKlnley was thereupon released
from custody. jr

were less fortunate. Their efforts to
secure bondsmen yesterday were fruit
less and finally at 7:30 o'clock In the
evening the attempt was abandoned and
preparations were made to keep them
In custody for the night. The first In
tention was to keep them In the
marshal's office, guarded by a deputy,
but it was finally decided to take them

JAPANESE SEIZE AND
HOLD AKASAKA HILL
Three Other Positions Are Ako Occu
pied Cruiser Bayan Is Hard and
Fast Aground in the Harbor,
An Armistice Is Declared for Five Hours at
StoesseTs Request General Assault Is
1 Believed to Be Imminent,
(Journal Sperlal Service.)
Toklo, Dec. 7. It is officially an
nounced that the Japanese successes at
Port Arthur continue and that yester
day they raptured by artillery Are, fol
lowed by a desperate aasault, the Aka
saka hill, another eminence near Port
Arthur.
The Russians, who were outnumbered,
made valiant and costly attempts to
hold the .position and to reoccupy the
lost ground, but were overpowered and
beaten back with considerable losses.
The Russian cruiser Bayan Is hard
and fast aground In the harbor and is
now under range.
At 4 oclock yesterday afternoon, In
response to a request from General
Stoessel, another armistice, the second
of the siege, was declared for the re
moval of the wounded and burial of the
dead. The armistice lasted five hours
and at times the enemies were able to
hold conversstlon with each other while
traversing the battlefield.
Artillery Duel
Immediately at the close of the ar
mistice the artillery fire reopened with
renewed vigor, the gunners of both
armies having taken advantage of the
time to refurbish their places.
An entire fortress waa occupied at
noon yesterday, the Russians having
fought to the very laat trench and hav
ing repeatedly- made desperate charges
In the hope of regaining command of
the situation. The Russian losses la
these attempts are estimated at no
less than 1.000 men. '
Private dlpatches say that the valor
of the Russians In these engagements
has never been excelled. Time and
again "they have charged into the very
parapeta, although hopelessly outnum
bered by an enemy In' the best of phys
ical condition. The constant drains on
the Russian garrison have been such
that It is In no position, through actual
shortage of men, to attempt successful
offense, but there seems to be a disre
gard for life that savors on fanaticism.
Freak Charges.
Official dispstches say that as soon
as entire occupancy of the hill had
been accomplished yesterday, General
Nogt, with heavily reinforced attack
ing parties of fresh men, charged an
eminence north of Suerkhou and two
eminences north of San Ldchlan.
At all these points the fighting was of
the same desperate character, the Rub
slana dying where they had fought with
a ferocity unprecedented and with svl- .
dent determination to fight as long as
possible before death should overtake
them.

I ANTWERP SELLS OREGON WHEAT TO EAST I
Antwerp is selling Oregon wheat to the east. Forty thousand bushels of the 1903 crop now at Ant
werp have just been sold to a large milling concern in New York and more sales are reported to be in
prospect. i
Thus Oregon wheat will be sent to Antwerp and thence back to this country and after paying duty
twice will be manufactured into American flour.
This is the astonishing statement which comes by telegraph from New York and is confirmed today
by local grain men. The grain men here say that it is cheaper to ship Oregon wheat to a foreign country
and then reship it to the United States than it is to send it direct by rail from this coast. This is the first
time in the history of the United States that such an Incident has occurred.
It is known that good milling wheat is hard to obtain in sufficient quantities. Some of the dealers here
assert that the wheat market will soon make a heavy advance and that this Oregon wheat was bought
from Antwerp in order to offset a possible corner at this time.
The wheat is now at Antwerp and will be shipped to its new purchasers at once. The sellers are Mc
Larden & Muir.

GOVERNOR DOUGLAS WILL DEFY ROOSEVELT
(Journal Special Service.)
Boston. Dec. 7. A dispatch from Washington intimating that President Roosevelt may object to Lieu
tenant General Miles becoming adjutant general of the' state of Massachusetts has created comment. Governor-elect
Douglas says that Miles will be adjutant of the general staff, whether assigned by the presi
dent or not.
"I do not know much about the provisions of the Dick law," said Douglas, "but I do know that Gen
eral Miles will be on my staff as adjutant general."
W. R. Buchanan, the governor-elect's private secretary, said: "Governor-elect Douglas will request
President Roosevelt to assign General Miles to duty on his staff and if so assigned, Miles will be made
adjutant general. If the president refuses to assign him he will be appointed adjutant general anyway. The
only reason for asking that he be assigned is that he will receive his full pay as an active army officer if as
signed by the president. He is retired, and of course can be appointed, by the governor anyway, but he
would then only receive the three quarters pay of his rank at the time when he retired, besides his $3,600
salary as adjutant general."

New York, Dec. 7. Seven Jurymen
were in the box when court opened this
morning In the trial of Nan Patterson,
accused of the murder of Bookmaker
Caesar Young. Miss Patterson looked
more bright and happy thla morning
than usual. More than a dosen tales
men were examined at the morning ses
sion, but none were accepted.
As In the preceding Jays, she showed
the liveliest interest in the selection of
the Jurymen, and her wishes were in all
cases deferred to by her attorney. Her
father sits by her side, but offers no
suggestion In this regard, trusting ap
parently to hla daughter's Intuition to
discover those who are prejudiced
against her.
Another spectator, and the one who
shows the greatest feeling In the mat
ter, Is Mrs. Caesar Toung, the widow of
the bookmaker. Mrs. Young coutlnucs
her activity in prosecution, and at her
own expense pays for ths quest for ad
ditional evidence to fasten the "rim on
the defondsnt.
In the courtroom Miss Patterson
never looks at Mrs. Young, although the
latter watches her constantly. The
trial will prove Interesting owing to
this silent duel.

(Washington Boreas of The Journal.)
Washington, D. C, Dec 7. Alaska
may have a new and Improved form of
government suited to its vast terri
torial needs. Such Is the Information
given out today.
The president is considering a plan
to create a commission which will have
unusual powers and which will suggest
measures and legislation for the admin
istration of the great outlying district.
The president had a long talk this
morning with Senator Dietrich, who
made a trip through the territory In
the past summer. Dietrich's plan is to
divide Alaaka Into three or four dis
tricts and hold an election to elect one
commissioner from each district, and
have the president appoint an equal
number.
The governor of the territory, under
this plan. Is to be the presiding officer
of the board of commissioners. Diet
rich thinks Alaska Is sadly In nsed of
mounted police copied after the con
atabulary In the Philippines or the Can
