Mala Richmcmu Case the Center of Attraction .in the Federal Court , COURT RULES AGAINST TH- DEFENDANT WltneMcg Testify to Some Irrrgulir Work on Itlcliiiioiid's Part Ccrllllciitci of Htoik tinned Mild Cancelled VUtlitiut .Authority. W. S. nichmonu of the Union Building and Savings asaocldtlon entered the federal court vcsterday morning without the largo dla mends which were so Important a part of his makeup on the opening day ot the trial. The entire day was taken up with tha Intro duction of evidence , the most Interesting being that of J. T. Illlck , ono of the three stockholders who brought Richmond's term of olllce to nn abrupt clore and had the busi ness of the association put Into the hands of the receiver. District Attorney Tullen asked him to pro duce a ccitlficate of stock belonging to Mrs. Mary n. Uhocles of Burlington and to testify to an examination made by him regarding the clock. An objection to this testimony brought on a sharp discussion between the attorneys and the court. Mr. Fullcn said he expected to show that Richmond , without Mrs. Rhodes' authority , had entered upon the books of the association her withdrawal and represented to the association that he had sent ,1 Chicago draft to Mr' . Rhodes for the amount coming to her , but In fact turned the draft over to his mother , Tis. L. M Richmond , who emlorbsd the draft. Attorney Prouty for the defense contended that thli sort of evidence would not be ad missible , because even If It should be proved that Richmond had done all he was charged with doing It would not constitute a "scheme to defraud" within the meaning of the slat ute A "scheme to defraud" Implied some thing broad , not mere ) } the making of false pretends to deceive an Individual Where a bink had been organized a good while and for vnae reason or other Its credit had be come Impaired the caviller would be amenabla to the Plate KVT , not to the government , If lie should wHtc a letter to some one to worli up further business. Judge Shlrag , however , held that a scheme might be devised to defraud an Individua as well as the public generally The United Slates had parsed the law regulating the use of the malls for the purpobe of preventing people from using the malls to violate the state lawn , ami the court must know whether ihese state laws had been violated before 1 could be detei mined whether the Unite States laws had been violated. So Illlck' : tesllmony went In. Illlck further related that In looking over the books he learned that Mrs. Rhodes had never surrendered her stock , and that th draft had never been paid at an > bank In DCS Molncs , and about five or six weeks ago he called Richmond's attention to the fact and asked him for an explanation Richmond mend was unable to explain at the time , but said ho would look It up and let him know. This he had never done. He also learned that J. K. Smith of Bur lington had sold eighty acres of land In Guthrle county to Richmond and had re ceived In payment an $ SOO certificate of stock. Illlck was unable to find from the books that this certificate had ever been paid for. Ho called on Richmond for an explanation , but failed , as In the first Instance , to learn anything satisfactory In the afternoon Mrs. Rhodes was put upon the stand and corroborated Illlck's statements , saying that she had given no notice of withdrawal and received no money from the association She did not authorize the signature of the name of L. M. Richmond mend to the draft , and never had It In her possession. 0 U. Owens , formerly president of the as sociation , and Joseph A. linrnhlll , formerly secretary , told substantially the same story. The condition ot the company demanded a statement to the stockholders , and the latter were clamoring for It. D. A. Poorman was therefore called In and Instructed to go through the books Richmond objected to so much circ being taken as Owens and liarn- hlll thought were necessary , and when they insisted he demanded their resignations , which were soon forthcoming. Richmond seemed to have some sort of hypnotic In fluence over them ; why It was they could not say , but they only knew that they sought to avoid trouble and handed In their resig nations , as they were asked to do , Richmond mend then got himself appointed secretary and Instructed Poormnn to merely make out a balance sheet , instead of going through the books and make a thorough checking up , and Poorman obeyed his instructions , Poor man was also put upon the stand and cor roborated these statements The evidence Introduced by the govern ment today Is likely to be Interesting , from the fact that William W Wilcoxen , the re ceiver , and R. H. Lyman , his book-keeper , are to bo put upon the stand Thev have made a thorough examination of the associa tion's books and are well posted In Its affairs. Hpro'H u Ltitncc.

THE TASK OX Karopmn Government * Will Not lla Allowed to Co llrct I'rlTnto Lcbt * by Tnrce. WASHINGTON , May 1. Although the State department has sanctioned tlic princi ple of the right ot an European nation to col lect an Indemnity for a national Intuit offered to It by an American nation , or to secure redress for the abuse or 111 treatment of Its citizens and Infringement ot their property rights , It can safely be predicted It will not under any clrcumitances permit nny Euro pean government to attempt by the display of force to collect moneys owing by the South or Central American states to Individual * on account of moneys loaned. In 1881 Secretary Illalne wrote to United States Minister Noyca at Paris , at a time when the French govern ment was about to undertake a demonstration against Venezuela to force that country to meet payments to French bondholders on ac count of the national debt , that the United States woulil 'regard with graveanxKy any attempt on the part ot Franco to force by hostile pressure the payment by Venezuela of her debt to French citizens , and cvin before this the doctrine had bsen well established ; notwithstanding the pre sure that was brought to bear by the great financial centers of Europe to have their governments under take' the collection of debts owing to them Thtrefore there Is no ground for apprehen sion of a forcible attempt by the British to collect debts owing by Honduras to llrltlih bondholders on account of a government loan , and this Fame doctrine may be at this time of great comfort to many of the small republics of this hemisphere that have been obliged by the stress of hard times and revo lutions to default In the pijment of the Inter est and principal of their national debts. The position taken by the State department Is that there Is no rule of International law authorizing the use of force to collect Indi vidual debts , and that persons who take bonds Issued on account of the national debts of an American republic must take the chances of thMr collection In the ordinary way , putting themselves on a footing of the Inhabitants of the country borrowing the money. _ CANNOT AGUUK OV NAVAL l'IN > IJureiiu Chief * Submit t'lvo Reports on the WASHINGTON , May , 1. For the first tlmo In Its history the Board of Naval Bu reau Chiefs have come to an absolute dis agreement nnd have been obliged so to report to Secretary Herbert , leaving him to de termine which side Is right. The disagree ment grows out of the designs for the six new gunboats for which plans were pre pared by the construction bureau. There are two reports on the subject , one signed by four members of the board , totally disapprov ing of the plans , and ono signed by two numbers , vigorously upholding them. The four members objected that the boats pro posed will draw fourteen feet of water , and so would not meet the requirements of the act of congress , which descrlb's them as light draught gunboats It Is held that the fitting of the vessels with a complete full sail power Is a mistake , as the experience of the department with such vessels as the , Adams shows that no steamer fitted with sails can beat against the wind and there fore the- sails will bo almost useless In aver age conditions. On the other hand , the sup porters of the plans undertake to damon- strate that the vessels will be efficient and very much more economical than boats with out sails , arguing that criticism Is founded on vessMs not given full sail power , and giv ing figures to support their assertions. .sui ! < ; iox units.MUt WILL , in ; Titn.o First Time n Nnvnl oniterllna Hocn Chirccd with I iiNo Mvrnrlng. WASHINGTON , May 1. Secretary Her bert has Issued an order for the trial by court martial of Medical Inspector Edward Kersner of the navy , the fleet surgeon of the North Atlantic squadron. The charges , while Indirectly the outgrowth ot his refusal while In Admiral Meade's flagship , the New York , at Barbadoea , to visit a sick sailor on a Norwegian bark , on the ground that his visit might endanger the health ot the personnel of the flagship , are really based on , two charges. The first Is that he violated the regulations In writing a report to the sur geon general at Brooklyn , Instead ot confining himself to the authorized channels. The second charge is that which takes the- case out of the ordinary run of court rmrtlals , for It accuses the ofilcEr ot scandalous conduct , tending to the destruction of good morals. In falsely testifying that hs did not make these reports as charged In the Inquiry con ducted on the flagship. It Is said at the Navy department that this Is the first tlmo In the memory of the olllce when a naval officer has been charged with false swearing The court martial will be held in Ne\v York on Monday , and the court will be com- pos-d of officers of high rank , headed by Admiral Walker.

Mrs Lelancl Stanford has arrived In Washington from San Francisco and last night had an Interview with the attorney general regarding the government suit against her husband's estate. She was particularly anxious to have the suit ex pedited as rapidly as possible and was as sured by Mr Olney that he had been from the first anxious to have the case heard at the first opportunity , and would give the neces sary Instructions to the United States at torney at San Francisco. On account of bonds Issued by the government to the Central Pacific Railroad company and the accrued Interest there will soon bcome duo to the government about $00,000,000. Under the laws of the state of California each stockholder ot a corporation Is Individually liable for his proportion of Its debts. The Stanford estate owns about one-quarter , or $15,000,000 , of the Central Pacific block , anJ hence Its alleged liability to that amount Suit was brought In anticipation of the fail ure of the stockholders to meet this obliga tion. It la thought that the suit may be brought up In the United States supreme court for a hearing at the next October term. lietiirned thu DcpciBlt WASHINGTON , May -Special ( Tele gram ) The acting chief clerk of the treas ury has recommended to Secretary Carlisle that the $12 deposited with the Merchants National bank of Omaha as forfeit be re turned to Fred D Inmatls , who was the contractor for furnishing fuel for the post- olllce building nt Fremont , bince he has entirely complied with the teims of the contract. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ CUon 'Ihpir C > inmls loin.
