' fu.v supporter assistance , and that was the
ondotstandlng of ttio committee of public
Iftfety from noon of Sunday the 15th.
Paragraph 0. I miw the troops landed tit
"j o'clock on Monday and it was not until
nearly 0 o'clock that evening that they
tccurcd and wcro installed In Arl&n Hall. It
was midnight before oven hasty and Inado-
qutito sanitary precautions for their comfort
were comiilotcd. I know of ny own knowl
edge that attempts wore made by the
minister and Captain WHUo to secure other
accommodations for the men which wore re
fused and that no attempts were made to se
cure any accommodation lintll after ths
troops were landed and the necessity for
their remaining on ahoro overnight became
apparent. 'J'ho olci armory might possibly
have been used , but that had already boon
secured from its owner as a rendezvous for
the revolutionary forces of the committee on
public safety , although tlio circumstances
which arose later , to which I will refer , ren
dered the very moderate use of It sufficient
for the purpose of the provisional govern
ment.
Locution oT the l''orro .
Parnirraph 7 That there was no particular
reason for locating tlio forces at the plaeo
ought to be apparent to you from the fact
that as soon as the committee olTorcd Its
premises , afterwards known as Camp Bos
ton , mid the necessary preliminaries could
bcnrrai.ged the mou were moved , Can It
possibly bo your Idea that the nmlu body of
'troops landed under general Instructions
from the distinguished predecessor In your
present ofllco of your own political party for
the protection of American Interests sliould
have been stationed at some- great distance
from the probable scene of violence ! 'I hey
were wisely and centrally located in the only
available shelter.
Paragraphs 8 antl ! > Concerning the al
leged correspondence between the minister
of foreign affairs and Minister Stevens and
hla alleged evasive replies I have no knowl
edge of which I make use hero , but Informa
tion on those points Is available to yon and
you have the right to use It.
Troop * Induced ( Julot.
Paragraph 10 That there wore no mani
festations of excitement or alarm In the city
' on that Monday illehtw.is due to the fact
that thu American troops were on shoro. Up
to the moment of their landing agitation
and uncertainty wcro Intense. If any of
Mr. Ulount's witnesses have made state
ments to the contrary 1 should like an oppor
tunity to cross examine them. As It was
thrro were two attempts at incendiary fires
at different times In different parts of the
city , which , but for the prompt appearance
of Mcntcmint Swinburne mid a suud | of
men. might have Increased to alarming ex
tents. To hnply in the same paragraph of
your report that the committee of public
Biifelv entered the government building as
soon as the forces were landed Is grossly
misleading , and had you given me the oppor
tunity which I so frequently asked In Wash
ington of making a detailed statement of
the occurrences of that time I cannot bo-
live that yon would have fallen Into the
error. The troops landed at 5 o'clock on
Monday , the 10th , and the committee of pub-
llo safety solved the government building at
II o'clock on the afternoon of Tuesday , nearly
twenty-four hours later. It was I who en
tered I ho building half an hour before the
committee because It had been rumored that
thcro was u guaid concealed therein. There
wcro eight government ofllcials and clerks
in the building , which ordinarily teemed
with ministers , judges ni.d sotno forty or
llft.v ofllcials and clerks. 1 was tola that the
cabinet had loft tlio building.

The queen's adherents had neither the
character nor ability to resist. I was after
wards told by Marshal C. II. Wilson , then in
charge of the queen's forces , that they had
left tlio building because they were afraid of
their liveswell knowing that to bo the point
the revolutionary forces would attack , and
that but for their cowardice or their
treachery , the marshal did not know which ,
In refusing to allow him to send a guard to
that building wo would not so easily have
yeurcd possession : .that * ho had concealed
ammunition In the foreign ofllco which was
indeed afterwards found there , and that It
was his purpose to send men there prepared
to use it. The proclamation was read as
soon as the building was surrounded by the
highest ofllclal in cliargo thereof , and as
soon as the order for the provisional govern
mcnt calling for support from loyal citizens
was issued I BO or tno.ro armed and do tor-
mined supporters , who had rende/.voused at
the old armory , murchen to the bnlldinir and
were stationed as guards to defend and pro
tect iho now government. Wiiilo they were
gathering thcro was some anxiety and Mr.
Damon asked mo to seek out Captain Wlltzo
and nsk for an armed guard. I objected , oc-
cause wo well knew that wo could expect no
such assistance , but finally went and wore
not surprised when Captain Wlltzo per
emptorily refused , „

Paragraph 11 It Is suspicious because the
revolutionary party , confident ot the support
of tlio community at largo , in possession of
the principal Government buildings and
treasury , Undine Itself unopposed after am-
nlo notice had been given and time for ut-
taelc had elapsed , should have assumed and
undertaken to inform other representatives
of foreign governments , us sot forth In tills
paragraph , that the monarchy had boon ab
rogated and the provisional government es
tablished. ' Prompt recognition of the now
status from nil foreign representatives ought
to satisfy on this point. The ndhcronts of
the queen , when the building was seized ,
huddled thcinsolvcs Into the police station ,
mm I loam from the quccn'n marshal , C. II.
WilBou , whom you describe as a resolute ,
oapablo oflleor , who tolls that he made the
some statement to Mr , Blount , that there
was a violent differeni'a between hlmsoll and
the queen's cabinet an to which should have
control of her causa , that they prevailed and
refusou to iillow him to make anv attack
upon the revolutionists or to resist when the
demand for the surrender came ,

the status. The neon's Mblnot.m response
to n demand for the surrender of the station

Dole , which wa readily granted. After
some parley , in which their absurd proposi
tion th.it tbolr forces nnd those of the nro-

ing n verbal protest ng.iiust thn provisional
government , which , It was agreed , should bo

Damon accompany them to the palace in
order that they might explain the surrender
to the queen. Mr. D.imon had not returned.

tJtircn'g Surrender nnil
Paragraphs if , 15 and 10 The queen's pro-
lost was a quibbling trlclr which uovv mtikes
clear to niUfiV of us what we then considered
her cowardly surrender. Marshal Wilson
assured mo in an interview In May last , and
told mo ho had "givon Mr. Commissioner
Blount the same insurance , that ho know ,
while In clmrgo of the station house thnt
day.that the American troops would not and
could not Interfere , that ho had this knowl
edge from Captain Wlltso , that ho urged an
Immcdlatu ntt.ick upon the revolutionary
government nnd demanded to be put in con
trol of the queen's forces , that her cabinet
was paralysed by fear for their personal
safety and declined to allow It. Learning
that the queen had Indicated her intention
to surrender , ho scut her a message at U
o'clock nud another at 1 o'clock advising
her by no moans to yield , that ho
was finally notified by her that she had sur
rendered , and that ho m'ist deliver up the
possession of the Htutlon houio , which ho
did , The protest of the queen was accepted
with indifference ns indicating her chief ob
jection to retiring from that power which
she had so ruthlessly abused und which she
had hoped to Increase b > violence until It became -
came absolute. That the tricksters who pre
pared it for her signature incorporated
therein a wanton llo which operates as no
cstoppnl upon the provisional government
and no barrier to its onward progress toward
liberty und clean government. National at-
falr.s , Mr. Secretary , are not controlled as
nro litigations In courts of law. The ac
ceptance of a protest by the pr jvtsioiml cov-
crnmcnt , without an express denial of its
contents , docs not preclude them from es
tablishing nnd maintaining the mighty
truths that had Inspired their causo.
Damon Hriinuncos Allegliincc.
Furthermore , I am sovry that you have
not heard that thai morning at "o'clock Mr.
Damon went to her majesty , courageously
renounced his allegiance , and told her ho
had consented to Join a movement which had
for its object the abroe.itton of the mon
archy , to which she replied that she had
learned of the movement and had been ad
vised and had decided to submit. This is a
circumstance which made the old armory
superfluous as a rendezvous und Justified the
committee of public satetyin selling ttio gov
ernment building without armed force.
Paragraph 17 An examination of the
whole of Secretary Foster's communication
of February 15 to the president will prove
that your scanty quotation Is not consistent ,
with the facts , und the statement , if made ,
wub ncvei'inado fpr the purpose of deceiving
or concealing the truth. The open candor
with which Air. Foster conducts his share in
the negotiations for annexation Is In marked
contrast to the reticence that lias prevailed
"or the past fuw months , und is sufllelent to
ruar.mtcc thut ho should have no such pur
pose.
CoinmlBiiloiirrM Misquoted.
Paragraphs 18 and ID You speak nf special
commissioners sent to Washington by the
provisional government to negotiate the
treaty of annexation and you say "Their
statements nro utterly nt varhince with the
ovidqiice. documentary aud oral , contained
in MiBlount's report. " Those commission
ers had no opportunity from" you to make
any statements. You absolutely and per
sistently evaded any opportunity for that
purpose. Commissioners Wilder und Mar-
shcn WCTI the first to leave Washington ,
which they did about the time of the in
auguration. Mr. Castle stayed but a few
days longer , having but. . one interview with
you , In which you declined to say whether
or not you cared to have the commissioners
as a body remain in Washington. When
Mr. Castle left , Mr. Th'ursto'h wont to
Chicago and I was nlono In Washington ,
where I remained for two months. Yeti con
stantly declined to allow mo un interview for
the purpose of making a ' statement
for the commissioners or on bohulf
of the provisional government. At an Inter
view which would have you pointedly
evaded all attempts which I made at. giving
you a statement , once going so far us to in-
t'jiTiipt by rising from \ our seat , excusing
yourself and ubruntly leaving the room. 1'ho
day that the news reached Washington of
the lowering of the flag I culled upon you
and asked you If the report , wus true. You
stated that you had no ofliclal information
on the subject , but assumed that tlio news
paper dispatches wcro correct and asked mo
whether In my opinion the course followed
by Mr. Blount , wotild bo likely to lead to
bloodshed or violence In Honolulu. I re-
pllod to you that the provisional government
was amply able to tnko care of Itself nnd
thai there would bo no danger unless the
lowcrlne ot the flag were ttio first stop to
ward the restoration of the queen , You
stntcd positively that there was no Intention
of restoring the queen , statement which
you ropoatcd at one of my last Interviews
with you nt the same tlmo that you told ma
that you expected Minister Blount to return
to Washington lu Juno.
I'IOV.-M ! Tlislr Strongtli.
Paragraph 20. Bo good enough , Mr , See-
rotary , to glvo Admiral Skurret an oppor
tunity to explain whether ho over made the
bold statement so ruthlessly condemning the
action ot ono of youi naval commanders.
Otherwise , whatever I nave already said
disposes of paragraphs Ul and ± i , ,
Paragraph 23. You speak of an earnest
appeal lo the American minister for protec
tion by the ofllcers of the provisional gov
ernment and consider that a. confession of
weakness nnd timidity. The fact that wo
continued without that aid after It had
boon twice refused after wo were in posses
sion ought to show you that the baud was
composed of ' 'courageous men conscious of
their strength and the righteousness of
tboir causo. "
SnhiiiUnliiii to Popular Vote.
Paragraph 24. You state that It is now
claimed ' -that the majority of people who
had the right of voting under the constitu
tion of 18S7 have never favored the idea of
annexation to this or any other govern
ment. " You now approach the ground upon
which I admit you have thu right to speak ,
and concerning which this government
confidently assumed und was i al
lowed to belle vo Mr. _ Blount
was to report. You repeat the statements
made by ftlr. Blount that ho did not , meet a
ninglo unnexationlst in Honolulu who ex
pressed Ills willingness to submit iho ques
tion to a vote of the people or one who did
not insist that If the islands should bo an
nexed suffrage should bo restricted. In ono
of the interviews with you. In which a few
hasty expressions were allowed mo , you did
ask mo how I thought a vote ou'tho question
would result Do you recollect my unsworf
1 told you on behalf of the commission and
the government 1 represented that the na-
lives were children , that they had even vie
lently opposed a reciprocity treaty with your
government until moro than a year of pros
perity led them to acquiescence , that If the
question of monarchy were loft out the
country would bo unanimously for annexa
tion , that If tlio Issue of an iioxii lion or mon
archy wcro put to the people iho result
would probably bo very close , that 1 would
not like to predict precisely which wny it
would go ; that 1 desired to be candid and
would confes * that owing loan element of
ow white * who had a right to vote und who
in recent years had acquired a great inllu-
once over inu Hawaiian * , thu probable re-
suit might oo slightly In favur of thu moo-
archy , but i 8aid to you "If you teat ttio
question by the brains of imolllyonco.aud

counting none * , annexation woum prevail
overwhelmingly. "

you have ucl tec rizlu to uiako the ere

other Intention on the question of future
suffrage that has been suggested thnn re
striction which should not relate to both

was always freely given that until universal
suffrage could bo restored thcro should bo
none lu Hawaii for any one.
Paragraph 35. In this you dispose of the

of the monarchy.
1 regret exceedingly that neither you nor
Mr. Blount over listened to any statement

' 'What are your views on the Hawaiian af

" 1 have been carefully studying Hawaiian
matters clear back to Webster's thnn" re
sponded the senator. "I believe that tlio
attitude of President Cleveland and Secre
tary Oresham is eminently proper. I
furthermore have great confidence in Com
missioner Blount's report. I place llttlo
credence in the statement of ex-Minister
Stevens because I firmly beltcvo that ho was
implicated in the overthrow of the queen
nud that ho ordered the marines on shore
for the purpose of assisting the promoters
of the provisional government. While
President Dole and Minister Thurston are
natives of Hawaii , they are 'Yankee' natives ,
men who are in reality Americans
and who are interested in
llio establishment of u now trovcrnmont. I
bellovo that ihe quecn should be restored ,
and then let the actual natives decide by
popular expression whether or not they
want the monarchy sustained. I believe
that the United S.ates should recognize the
treaty with Hawaii In the full acceptance of
the term ana that the conspiracy of iho few
white Hawallnns , or rather American resi
dents of the Islands , to overthrow the mon
archy In the face of the piotests of the
natives , should bo suppressed and turned
down. "
"I do not want to SBC any trouble on iho
Islands , but 1 heartily approve ihe palicy nf
the administration nt Washington and will
give It overj encouragement within my
power. 'Yankee * natives at.tlonolulu shoujd"
not dp , , anything iucomnatXblq .with treaty
rizhts , nnd the United States should insist
on the , ooservanco of fair'play and not stamp
out the old government on the islands in the
fuco of Mr. Blount's report , which clearly
indicates that popular sentiment at Hawaii
is hostile to annexation ai Ihis time. Minis
ter Thurston's father was a missionary nt
Hawaii , aud while the present , nrovlslonul-
ist leader was born thcro , ho is moro of an
American than u Hawaiian.
"In regard to the repeal of the federal
elections bill I shall heartily favor It. As a
populist I believe that each state should
frame Its own election laws.
"The Wilson tariff bill will pass at this
session , in all probability. " concluded Sena

Kansas City Is frothing at the mouth over
the Burlington's ralso in grain rates and
meetings are being held by ' , ho various trade
organizations with the solo object of enter
ing loud protests against the position as
sumed by the Turlington people in doing
that which for years should have been done ,
namely , the removal' the differential In
favor of ICnnsas City and against Omaha.
Grain dealers 'living along the banks of
the ICaw are just realizing what a beautiful
cinch they have had and they don't propose
to give up the light for their "inalienable
rlchts" without a superhuman effort.

But there is another side lo the story ,
which the grain dealers of Kansas City have
conveniently allowed to remain in tlio dark.
It is a fact that the Alton , Santa Fe , Chicago
cage , St. Jjouls ifc Kansas City , Wabash. Mil
waukee & St. Paul , Kansas City , Fort Scott
& Gulf roads , doinc ; business in Kansas.City ,
have no interest in Nebraska whatever ,
beinfj In no way' identified with its
growth of development , yet , the gram deal
ers of Kansas City , not satisfied
with their legitimate territory , would
bo only too glail to have their
town the gathering point for all Nebraska
grain that might bo brought to It by the
Liurliticton at the r.ito in force previous to
December 10 , and yet compel the Burlington
to enter Into competition with roads to iho
south at a reduced rato. There is no com
plaint as to the Burlington's Nebraska rate ,
so far as TUB BEK knows , but the moment a
roaa attempts to right what has been n
daring discrimination against Omaha
iho virtuous ycomuury at the mouth
of the Kaw rise up and proceed to howl.
Certainly no merchant in Kaiuas City
would bo willine to put his business in the
hands of a middleman and pay brokerage to
have his goods sold at less cost than ho
would liava sold them himself. This Is the
Burlington's position In a nutshell. It bus
been pulling thu Kansas City grain men's
chestnu's out of the lire Jor years , to the
absolute detriment of Omaha us a Kiuln
center , and now , having , suen its business
slowly dwindle away , It proposed to do
right by Omaha "just once for luck" and
raised the grain ratc.s to Kansas CIty-1 cents
per hundred , December 10.
Tin. ' action of the Burlington cannot help
but bo far reaching In its nature , for li will
give thu two distilleries In Om.ilux a hotter
chaiico to buy corn thtin under the old con
ditions , when the rate was favorahlo to
Kansas City.
Tlio Clruulnr'H figures Not Itnllalilo.
A reporter for Tins BKK took occa
sion vcsterdny to oxamiuo into the
allegations made uy the transporta
tion committee of the Commercial
exchange and found.iitnong many otnerfalso
statements that the rate on corn from Her-
wyn , Nob. , to the Mississippi river is tlio
same us to Kansas City , being the sumo
ratio per mile per ton. Tlio rate today from
Borwyii to Kansas JU'fiV3 ' I(3S3 lor to" llcl'

Kansas City's great claims In tlio dis
cussion of this question Is Umi the grout
bulk of the grain business goes south and
that Omaha nnd other towns cannot compete -
pete with It as a grain center. But the last
annual report of the Board of Trade of'Knn- '
BBS City does not bear out this claim , as the
roixjrt shows that less than i5 ! per cent of
the grain repqiveil lust year ut the Kaw
went south , which make * it decidedly unrea
sonable to suppose that this ti3 per tout can
control the other 75 per cent , in point of
fact it Is u clear case of the tall wagging the
iloir.
Omaha has been greatly handicapped by
the discrimination lu favor ot Kansas City
und if the Burlington will now go a step
further und put itself on record us to llvo
stock rates this young gluiit of the west will

NBW YOIIK , Dec. 13 , Thcro was a tre
mendous crowd of billiard-loving persons at
the white1 and gold concert hall of Madison
Square Jgardcn tonight to witness the third
game In the absorbingly interesting contest
between the "bip three. " Kot only was
every scat on the main floor and in the
galleries occupied , but scores bat In the
aisles and uddod to the din when their
favorites were performing brilliant work.
Mr. Sexton was referee tonight.
Ives won the bank und chose the spot
ball , but ho lulled to count on the break.
Schaeffer looked more in earnest than ho
appeared last nisht and it was generally rc-
ttnarkod that ho seemed to be out for blood.
Ho only made'foiji'teen in open table playing
the first Innlntj , however , and missed badly
on a draw that was comparatively easy.
Ives tooiicd profoundly disgusted when ho
failed on a hard bank , thus scoring two
goose eggs hi the two innings.
Working llnril for Sm ill Itcturiix.
The runs were comparatively small up to
the end of the twelfth 'inning. The score
then stood. Schaeffer , 275 ; Ives , 1ST. In thn
thirteenth Ives pulled out , llfty-soven , most
'
o'f which wcro hoarded up on the upper rail.
Ho missed on an easy carom. Then the
masterful Jacob did some more exhibition
worn and the crowd went wild with en
thusiasm when b.vS dint of superb rail
play to piled up oipht.v-ono. Tlio score then
stood , 1)30 ) to ! M4 iu Scnaoffer's favor.
The crowd thought the bad showing of
Ivos Would arouse him to some energotii !
playing , but he experienced a good deal of
dlfiioulty in gathering together forty nnd had
considerable trouble in getting over some of
the snags ho made for himself. Ho missed
on a trifling carom. The score at tlio close
of the fifteenth inning was -10J to " 34 In
Schneffer's favor.
Ives rolled up fifteen , and aftorelaborately
tiling und chalking his cue tip went to pieces
on a iniisso that belongs to the first lesson In
the primer of billiards. SchuotTer went to
the table , and for tlio third ' .lino in the evening -
ing , ho went through a fireworks perform
ance thnt encouraged the audience to hope
that ho would make a notable run. Time
and again ho got the balls In the anchor
nurse position , but whether intentionally or
not , ho did not in nnv case take advantage of
the splendid chances thus offered for big
runs. Ho missed a long drive on the right
hand rail after muKing eighty-nine , thus
making tlio score : SchaofTor , 1D4 ; Ives'J'J'J , ,
I'In.vcil llruwtly imtlnnl4.
The yountr Nauolcon accomplished forty-
six in the seventeenth inning , but had to go
to his scat on a .iard cushion carom. The
spirits of the blllmrd lovers were nt 7cro.
Then Jacob hopped in ana made a run nf
.sixty-three , which caused a fcoblo thrill to
run through the otherwise listless crowd.
Some atrociously bad billiards followed ,
after which Schaeffer grouped the balls to

The Macleod investigation was not con
cluded last evening. The greater part of
the session was devoted to the charges of
excessive and unauthorized expenditures , ns
embodied in specification llunl , which cov
ered work done at the High , Central , Cnss ,
Lolhrop nnd Vinton schools , and at the supply -
ply homo.
The High school matter was not com-
plotcd when the meeting adjourned.
Macleod continued to differ with Mr. Mor
risen , and there was a continuance of flatly
contradictory statements.
G. A. Hurr wan the first witn. , . Ho said
that ho hauled several lu.uls of worthless
limestone from iho Jackson school and
dumped It in a ditch near llio Chicago lumber
yard. Ho later said ho was not tuiro about
the iianio of the yard , but Was certain it was
near the Wakolleld lumber yard , llo was
very st.ro the stone was worthless.
Mnclcoa then took the stand and Insisted
that Iho cleaning and rop.ilrlngof clocks had
been done nt an expense less than had
hitherto been Incurred , and It was done at
iho request of the committee- which thu
matter was referred , with the exception of
the now clocks for Iho Central school , which
wcro provided fpr uy special resolution.
r.tpcium for Knpxlri ut Illcli School.
C. S. ISlguttor was called to testify regard
ing the amended charges of Bpocillcatiou
third , which alleges excessive and unau
thorized expenditures. The first cuso taken
up was thatot the High dehool.nvhcro It was
claimed that the superintendent of build
ings had expanded fcl.-'OO in excess of the
flW that he had authority to expend. The
witness showed that the superintendent
was iiistriictei'1 lo make certain repairs at a
cost not to exceed $ U > ' . , and that § 1,400 had
coon expended.
On cross-examination by Mnclcod's attor
ney , the various bills were KOIIO into in de
tail , ana the secretary ot the board was
kept busy bringing various papers nnd mak
ing showings from the record.
When authorized to make repairs on the
gutters not to exceed 810JI , Muclood had ox-
pchdcd $23.1 , and when authorized to expend
flOO in repairing seats hud expended 81,018.
Morris Morrison , was called nnd read n
number of resolutions , whichiio said , were
the only Instructions that had been given
Macleod ordering any of the work In con
troversy performed , On cross-examination
ho said that the contract for the guttering
was awarded the Western Cornlco Manu
facturing company under the provisions of
one of the resolutions.
Macleod was then placed on the stand In
his own defense and identified a number cf
pauers as documents furnished him by the
secretary , ordering work dono. The prose
cutlou objected to going into estimates.
Muelooci's attorney contended that If the
board let the contract it could not hold Mac-
leod responsible for an excessive expendi
ture.
ture.Mr.
Mr. Babcock said that it the work was
done under the supervision nt the superin
tendent of buildings , und ho allowed work to
go on in excess of the Kntmint called for by
the resolution and contract , he was responsi
ble.
ble.The
The prosecution contended that Macleod
was responsible if ho allowed the Western
Cornice Manufacturing company to go on
with work in excess of the amount ordered
by the board. The objection was sustained.
What Macluoil Dili Nut Know.
Macleod denied that the work was done
under his direction , nnd said that Morrison
matlo the contract with Chris Specht , and
told him to see that It was well dono. llo
said ho did not know what the figures
were until the bill was sent in.
Ho said ho knew nothing of the estimates ,
and insisted that Morrison was responsible
for It nil. Regarding the plumbing done by
Graham Park , Macleod said that an
estimate was made by Park calling for an
expenditure of about Stri'i , und produced the
estimate , dated August 2l5 , and addressed to
the Board of Education.
iror another part of the wont hosald.ho
had received * an eider , but in some unac
countable milliner It had been lost. Ho was
very positive that Mr. ISurgcss had sent it
to him through the medium of Superin
tendent Fittnatrlck.
On cross-examination ho said that Secre
tary Glllan had signed the order for the
kalsornining' . When uskcd if the secretary
had beoti in possession of the Graham IJnrk
estimate ho said ho gave it to the committee
on buildings and property ut a committee
meeting.
Elgutter nnd Morrison were present nt
that meeting. Ho did not hand it to cither ,
but threw it on the table , whore there were
a r.umber ofi other papers. Ho said that it
was later returned to him by Moirison , who
told him it had been adopted.
The defense sought to introduce-n resolu
tion of the board ordering u reduction of
waircs and a letter from Mr. Klgutter to the
superintendent directing him not to comply
with It , but the objection of Attorney
Moiklo for the defense was sustained.
( jr.ilium Turk mid IliH ICntliiuito * .
Graham Park was called and testified
that Macleod had Infonnod htm that his
estimate for the plumbing repair work nt
the High school had bean accoUod. ) He
identified the bills presented for the work
and said they hud boon paid.
Ho was asked on cro s-oxamlnntlon how
ho sent the lettcv to the board , and said ho
mailed it. Ho was uorum that the mail
carrier took It from hisotllco the same as
with other mall. Ho wax asked if ho did not
hand ft to Mr. Macleod. und said ho was
certain ho did not. He addressed It to the
Hoard of Education and mailed It as stated ,
as ho was In the oOlco himself at that time ,
The prosecution wanted to call Messrs.
Klgutter and Morrison to icbiit the testi
mony of Mneleod regarding tlio Park esti
mate while the matter was fresh in the
minds bf tlio committee- , but as It was 10
o'clock u motion to adjourn until 7iOo'clocK : !

After adjournment the committee on
buildings and property agreed to stilko out
tlio specifications as to tlio Cuss , Central
and Lothrop schools In the interest- econ
omy anil to hasten tlio conclusion of the In
vestigation , as the charges are similar to
