Shortly before court adjourned yes
terday afternoon W. W. Stelwer,
president of the Butte Creek Land,
Livestock & Lumber Company, plead
ed guilty to the conspiracy indict
ment, and was immediately called by
Honey as a witness for the govern-,
nrent against his co-defendants, Hall
and Mays. Steiwer related the sub-;
stance of a conversation he had with 1
Hall in Portland In 11)00, when the.
district attorney told Steiwer that It I
would probably be necesary for him I
(Hall) to prosecute the liutte Creek!
Company for maintaining unlawful
fences.
Steiwer's confession ana his ap-1
pearance as a witness for the prose-
cution is anotlier move by Heney by
which the government expects to
convincingly fasten the conspiracy
charge against both Hall and Mays.
The alleged conspiracy has been pro

Hendricks, officers of the Butte Creek j
Company, but the testimony of those:

PASSES POLICE BILL
Carson, Nev., Jan. 24. The Neva
da police bill passed the senate this
morning without a dissenting vote. It
will go to the assembly this after
noon. In the latter body a test vote
was taken this morning which result

III SIVWI1S TO DRINK
New York, Jan. 21. That most
women cook ho badly that they drive
their husbnnds to drink was tile state
ment made yesterday by Supreme
Court Jusllce (Ireenbnum, In an ad
dress at Ibe Hebrew Technical School
for girls. After describing the ex
cellent work being done by tho school
the Justice said:
"In this country, the cooking la far
from what II. ought to be, particularly
In tho country districts, where nature
has endowed the soil with all that
should make for Ideal conditions as to
food. Yet, the average woman there
knows nothing about cooking. The
cooking Is vilej Children are nour
ished Improperly. The wage earner,
the bread winner, does not receive
proper food to sustain him. I have
no doubt that many men go to the
saloons at night Just because they
are Improperly nourished at home.
New York, Jan. 24. Yesterday's
snowstorm developed into a blizzard
and today the streets are piled deep
in places with drifts, and street car
traffic, is delayed. There Is much
suffering among tho poorer classes
on the Hast Side and a rush to the
charitable institutions for shelter.

a porch, where ho had crawled for
protection and frozen to death.
In Urooklyn nearly every lino of

hospital ship commands, and includ
j ing orders issued to the navy depart
ment by Secretary Honaparto, with
copious Indorsements by bureau offi
cers, all bearing upon this question.
An interesting paper among the
latter is an endorsement by Admiral
Converse, then chief "of the naviga
tion bureau, delivered on June 14,
1904, upon a proposition which orig
inated with the joint board of med
ical officers of the army and navy to
place the hospital ships In command
of nnval Burgeons.
The surgeon-general states that
neutrality of the hospital ships de
mands that line officers and fight
ing crews should not be put aboard.
He contends that a merchant master
and merchant sailors are as efficient
in pilotage and navigation as line of
cers and a fighting crew.
