.In the general Teramble for the rich
timber land of the SUets reserve, Jones
and Potter encountered keen competi
tion. Other speculators, equally eager,
were juick to discover the methods
to which the Portland men had resorted
and to take advantage of their vulner
able position. Uttle by little the testi
mony in the pending trial la bringing
,to light the details o the unscrupulous
warfare ' that wa waged between the

, . . Xotel Senator Mutilated. . .
Testimony' offered . yesterday ' after
noon lent color to the district attorney's
charge that the defendant . Ira Wade
has endeavored ' to destroy evidence
which might prove damaging to himself
and his codefendant. The register of
the. Toledo hotel which has been placed
In evidence shows plain alteration In
the addresses of some of the old sol
'dlers sent down to the Bllets by Jonea
and Potter. They originally registered
as from Portland, but -the address had
been ohanged to Boots, the fillets poet
office, apparently to .conform to; the
bomeetead proofs. ' . .
ICR. Ellsworth, the proprietor 'of the
Bote), and Mlsa Ethel Parrtsh. an em
ploye, testified that Wade came to the
. hotel about September 11 of this year
and borrowed the register, saying 1 he
wanted It for use ' on the trial. Ells
worth did not make the alterations In
addresses and did not Know Who was
. fenponslbie for them, but it transpired
fhat the register was in Wade's posse
f ton up to the eve of the trial.
4 The proceedings yesterday were - en
. livened by a touch of humor when Tom
Johnson, who has long been a familiar
sight on Portland streets as a, vendor of
puttons and pins, took the stand. . John
set Is a veteran of tbe navy and "served
In the sloop of war Portsmouth with
Farragut" Like so many of the old
soldiers who have already testified he
was Induced to take up a homestead
claim In the Bllets, and he made three
" trip to the claim.
(' When Mr. Heney began reading the
trial proofs subscribed and sworn to by
he old sailor, his surprise became mani
fest . ) That's my signature all right, but I
roust have signed the paper without
reading It," he cried.
The district attorney read from the
proofs the description of the alleged Im
provements. . "Why, I couldn't have said that It
wasn't true,, said Johnson with some
. Indignation. .
- The next statement read was 16 the
effect that' Johnson and his wife .had
lived continuously on the claim for two
years. -. .. ' .
. . "Whoever put that down must have
been dreaming. I didn't live mere con
tlnuously and my wife waa never, there,'
said Johnson. v.';;
' Sow Xls Xante Waa Changed.
When naked -whethtnr-htBT true name
waa . Tom Johnson the old sailor
promptly acknowledged that his right
name was Henry Toemans. uiougn no is
commonly known by the former appeua
tlon. .. Hla explanation of the alias
brought a smile to tbe faces Of his audi
tors. When he enlisted in the navy and
went on board the Portsmouth he found
that his name had been listed as Tom
Johnson. - -
"I wouldn't answer to that name when
the roll was called aqd I got seven days
or blackness. Arter that I thought it
was better -to "take the nam they had
given me. He added that On hla pen
sion paper hla name waa given aa Henry
Yeomans. alias .Thomas Johnson. - -
' H. L. Slsler, formerly a resident, of
this city but. now at Seattle, testified
that at the request of Jones, with whom
he was on terma of cordial friendship,
he consented to act as tbe medium for
conveying the title, of some of the tim
ber' claim a Four claims : were con'
veyed to him and he In turn conveyed
them - to Edward D. Wetmore, - Slsler
had no interest In" the transaction, and
as Mr. Heney stated, was In no way In
volved in tbe alleged frauda...

of old soldiers who entered homestead
claims, was the-last witness of the day.

Washington, Oct. 7. The president was
today put in poasesslon of a full report
from Professor Hollander, his special
agent as , to the financial situation In
Santo Domingo, with comparisons of ths
situation of that republlo with West In
dian colonies generally.
Professor Hollander made a trip to
Europe and there determined the exact
value of the claims of all nations against
Banto Domingo, v r-
The mission of ' Professor Hollander
to, Europe and to Santo Domingo had
reference principally to the treaty with
Santo Domingo Which th aenate refused
to ratify last year. It Is expected that
the report will be sent to the senate and
will aid In having the treaty ratified
this time. ' In the meanwhile the finances
of Santo Domingo are being taken care
of by international agreement with the
United States. -
Ons of the principal values of Profes
sor Hollander's report is that the presi
dent will know precisely what, la the real
debt of Banto Domingo to any foreign
nation and that there can be no exag
gerations in order to Justify foreign In
terference. Bucn interference was
threatened last year but the United
States stepped in and suggested that it
take care of the customs till congress
met. No funds, collected In Santo Do
mingo by United States agent have been
distributed as yet.

cuffed to Detectlye Henry Heltfeldt and
guarded by Chief of Detectives W. H.
Dunn. Pat Crow boarded the south
bound Oregon Short Line train this even,
lng and began the Journey back to Oma
ha, where he will answer to the cnarge
of shooting Policeman Alfred Jackson
with Intent to kUl. and perhaps the
charge of kidnaping Eddie Cudahy, the
lS-year-old son of Edward A. Cudahy,
th millionaire ' packing-house man of
Omaha.
With the same happy smile that he has
worn continually since his arrest. Crowe
shook hands with hla- fellow-prisoners
at. the county Jail thanked the officers
for their courteous treatment and bade
each one farewell. 'When the goodbyes
had been spoken.- Chief of Detect! vea
Dunn produced a pair of handouffs and
In a trice had snapped one about Crows s
right wrist. Detective Heltfeldt fa.
tened tbe remaining cuff about hla left
wrist, and the trio climbed Into a car
riage and started for tbe depot.
Jokes With Dsaeottvea. ,
"We were In the harness together
years ago, Heltfeldt," said Crowe to the
detective, - "and here we are hooked up
again. The detective and kidnaper for
merly worked together in South Omaha.
Quite a -crowd was assembled mt the
depot when Crow and the detective
clambered from the train. But for the
fact that the picture of trie notorious
kldnapsr had been published and circu
lated so widely, many of the curious
spectators would have believed that
Crowe wa th officer and th detective
hi prisoner. The kidnaper .walked with
a SDrlnnr step, held his head high and
apparently was the least concerned of
the two, . . - -
Crowe presented a smart appearance.
Just before leaving he had been pre
sented with a brand new overcoat and
hat by D. J. Hennassy, a merchant, who
sent on of hi tailor to Crow to
measure him. Crowe gave his old
clothes to a fellow-prisoner who wished
to look well at hi trial.
Afraid of IMakertoms.
Crow wa visited today by Mayor
John Maoulnnlas, to whom he declared
that he -waa hardly anxious to be ar-4
rested becauas ef the-threats made to
him by the Plnkertons that they would
send him up for life, because Crowe
said they had enough Influence with
the American Bankers' association and

"When I got to drinking I did not
