Attorney Whedon argued that the money might have been deposited by Hartley from his pwu private funds in order to meet the payment of a warrant j ( the state which was tlir.n duo , Ha $ nld the bookkeeper ) Colonel Alfonl , itHglUMiavo died on that day aha this might account for the entry not being made. 1 STATE : NOT CREDITED. The court overuled the objection and the witness was asked why he did not credit the general fund with the amount of thla check. Ho replied that he thought , "It Is on there somewhere ; It should be. " Ho was then ni'kcd If It was not a fact that the check was Issued for the purpose of drawing out of the Omaha National bank $50,000 to be paid to the First National of Lincoln and that the general fund of the state never received any credit for the amount. He replied that such was the fact. The witness was then shown a check dated April 30. 18'JC , for $50,000 , payable to the First Ntlonal of Lincoln , drawn on clato funds In the Omaha National and ho Identi fied It as being the check for the repayment of which the check ( list mentioned had been drawn. The Introduction ot this last mentioned check caused quite a furore on the part of the defense and the attorneys protested against the wltnc& ? being questioned along this lino. U wjs a surpili'e which the state had been holding In reserve and wns ai com plete refutation , of the theory presented by the defense that Hartley had used his pri vate fun ( Is to protect the credit of the state , the check showing that the whole process had been a manipulation of state funds In Hartley's Interest without any record being made of any part of the tranactlon In the treasurer's olllce. After examining the last check , the wit ness stated thnt a credit ot the $50,000 cov ered by the check of June 4 had not been entered in tbo general fund on the treas urer's books because the clioi'ic of that date was drawn on the general fund by Hartley nnd there was no stub hi the oHlce "from "which to check It and make the entry , so the wltnvcs left both checks out of the record. Hit said the check of Juno 4 was simply a repayment of the amount drawn out by the check of April 30. The attorney general re marked that this showed that In&tead of the check of Juno -I being a generous donation to the state by the defendant the check ot April 30 clearly showed that the first one was simply a repayment of state funds drawn oul over a month before. A close consultation was held by Hartley and his attorney after the damaging dis closures of the defendant's former deputy , nnd the usual noon adjournment wns taken bcforo the defense had examined the witness further. STILL \VOIIKINO ON THAT CHUCK. The redhect examination of ox-Deputy Treasurer Hartlctt was commenced by the de fense at the opening of the afternoon ses sion yesterday and It was attempted to bo shown that at the date of the second check , April 30 , 1S90 , Hartley had n deposit aa state treasurer In the First National bank of Lin coln , and that the $50,000 drawn out of the etate funds In the Omaha National and transferred to the First National at Lincoln bail been used for state purposes. The state opposed any such showing tin- Ires It was llret shown that the- First Na tional nt Lincoln was a state depository at that time , claiming that Hartley had no right to check the money out of a state de pository and into a private bank , as that net was embezzlement under the rule laid down by the enpreuie court In the Hill case , and It U proved anything it simply proved that Hartley had embezzled moio than lie vas charged with , Mr. lahonoy tsalil ho purposed to show that the money which was checked Into the Lincoln bank was used , to pay etate obliga tions and that In addition to the amount Tcprenculcd by this check the state had also had the use of $50,000 of Hartley's private funds. He clihued that thciu was no ad verue holding ( shown and there had been ao criminal Intent.

Judge Dakcr nald he should rule the ques tion out and would bold that the placing o ! the state's money In any bank not a state depository was a conversion , regardless o ] whether the money was deposited as fitate treasurer or as an Individual. After this ruling Hartley and his attor neys and hia former deputy withdrew into Judge liaker'a private office for consulta tion. They remained out nearly half an hour When they returned to the court rontn Mr. Ilartlett again took the witness stand am Identified nix checks drawn upon tKe Firal National bank ot Lincoln and signed , "J. S. Hartley , Tr. , by O.M. . Bartlett. IJep'y. " TRY ANOTHER TACK. The state objected to the Introduction of the checks and the defense stated that the checks aggregated $50.000 and were payable to the cashiers of various state depositories also claiming that these checks represented the placing ot the $50,000 In state deposi tories from the First National1 of Lincoln being the same money transferred to thai bank by Hartley from the Omaha National. An hour and a half was consumed In prov ing that these banks were state depojltorls and that the checks transferred to the state general fund In these Iauks corresponded to the amounts , named In- the checks. The dates pages and amounts were as follows : May 12 , 1835 , Hank of iBradshaw , Hradshaw , Neb. , $10,000 ; Juno 30 , 189fi , Merchants' National ot Omaha , $10,000 ; Juno 30 , 1SDC.

First National ot Omaha , $10.000 , , This evidence WAS brought out by means ot the record of deposits in state depositories ES shown hy a record of the state treasurer's pfflee , the state objecting to the introduction of the checks , 93 there was nothing to show that there was any connection between the money thus paid out and the $50,000 deposited In the First National ot Llucoln April 30 , 1SOC. 1SOC.Tho The checks were offered In evidence , but wera held In abeyance until It should be shown that there was eomo connection be tween tlKHO checks and the money deposited In the First National of Lincoln. On cross-examination of Mr. Hartlett the state questioned him as to whether the money checked out of the First National of Lincoln by him was the same money put line thai bank April 30 by Hartley from the Omaha National. Ho replied that ho did not know whether It was or not. The court WDH theu adjourned until 0 o'clock this morning. TIIK HU.VI.TY M.\Hlvl3T.

The withdrawal ot the Union 1'aciflc from ho Western Passenger aisoolatlon was about ho only subject dlsciused In passenger cir cles yesterday. General Agent Buchanan of the tilkliorn and Asatotant General Pas- sengei- Agent Smith of the 1) . & M. , who ivero In atteudanco at Tuesday's meeting of the association In Chicago , returned home yesterday , nnd confirmed the report of the vlthdrawal , published In thu morning papers. Mr. Buchanan declined to express an opln- on concerning a rate war as a result of the Jnlon Pacific's action , but ho called attention to the fact that the lines that had been nnd are still out of the association have caused a whole lot of trouble In passenger rates. .Mr. Smith said he doubtsJ that the with drawal of the Union Pacific from the general association would cause any rate war , because : ho linn the Union I'aclllc was fighting was iliu Oregon Short Line , and It would not harm that line one whit to cut the rates between here and Ogden. He explained that the reason the Union Pacific walked out of Tuesday's meeting was that the Ulo Gr.inda Western was now granting the Ore- Ron Short Line the same division that thu Union Pacific had alwaya heretofore given the Short Line ; that the association ap proved such action , but that the Union Pa- clflc maintained that such division was un fair. fair.General General Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific hns not yet returned from Chi cago. O'her officials at the local hoadquirters nro Inclined to the belief that although the Union Pacific is not now a member ot the association , and though it mny act as a free lance in the matter of passenger rates If It so desires , no cut will bo made In rates , They argue that no good would bo accom plished by such a move and that It is wholly Improbable. fi'hcn the Oregon Short. Line was a imrc of the Union Pacific system It was allowed a constructive mileage of 1.T5. that is for a haul of 100 miles it was allowed pay for 175 miles. No such allowance Is now made by the Union Pacific to the Short Line , but it Is generally supposed that the Illo Grande Western Is granting the same consideration. The protest of the Union Pacific that such a division is unfair seems to lack weight as that was the division made by It with the Short Line up until June 1. Passenger men of other lines arc not sc sure that the Union Pacific will not start a rate war. They say they wish they were. The time for the great crowds ot Christian Endcavorers to move westward Is near al hand , and a eut in rates would swell the number of transcontinental tourists Im mensely. It Is said that no road In the wesl is as well prepared to make a cut anil handle the business. The Union Pacific equipment Is such that all the travel secun : ( ] may be taken care of. It IB further argued that that road , acting under the court needs to exhibit no net earnings , and zi the Union Pacific earnings are equal to it ! expenses It could afford to stand a rate wai better than the lines that are compelled not only to pay operating expenses but tc declare dividends as well SI3TTM2IIS KOIU TIIK JVOIITHWKST , for HollovliiRr Ovorcrowilcil Ciiiiilltluii of the Cltlox. The ElUhorn and other lines of the North- wcalern railway system are Interested In In vestigating a new society. If It Is found thai the Institution Is a reliable one , the North western , and , in all probability , other Ne braska lines will render It all the aid possi ble. The society In question Is known as th Homcscekers' association. It has recentlj been formed in Chicago for the purpose ol relieving the overcrowded condition of that anil other largo cities , nnd of getting the un employed people on to the farms In thU pnit of the country. The first meeting of the association will bo held In Chicago , on Sep tember 20 , and It will be addressed by J , It Buchanan , general passenger agent of the Elkhorn , nnd other men familiar with west ern Immigration. In speaking ot the new movement , Mr , Buchanan said to a Bee reporter yeoter- day : "We are now endeavoring to find oul how substantial a society this Is. If U I : backed by any Influence and money , I thlnli homes In Nehrasxa can be found for all the surplus industrious , frugal and worthy people ple In Chicago whom such a society de- cirea to assist In securing homes. I am favorable - vorablo to tbo Idea of the land owners agree ing to build small houses on forty-aero farme and of Belling them property on easy term : and reasonably low prices to such worthy Industrious and frugal people as can anil will undertake to make a first payment ol enough to cover the cost of the house. TIu house need not cost more than JIM or $200 containing four rooms. The balance of tht payments should bo of small amounu. 1 think the French method a good one , namely to divide a quarter-section of land Into foui equal parts and locate four bouses on tin four center corners , making close neighbor ! of the four families. I am sure a frugal industrious man can support a family or forty acres ot good land , and should like ti sco a family on each forty-aero tract of lain In tula state. " ANOTHER COXI.'KHHSCn ! IS OAM.RIJ Union I'uclllo ami Short Line Try tc ( Set TuK-rthor. A sixth conference between officials of thi Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Llui will bo held in Chicago during the latte part of this week. Although the Shor Line has already opened the St. Lake gate way , miscalled the Ogdcn gateway to the KIo Grande Western , It U bcllevui that a trutllu agreement between the paren road and the Independent branch may yet b < effected.

An thU meeting will bo the nr t betweei ( he two sets of officials since the Short Llm concluded negotiations with other road while still dickering with the Union Pacific there Is likely to be a coolness that wll counteract any deleterious effects from th heat. Each party has commented rathe severely on the action of the other crowd nnd it Is not expected that the greetings 01 the opening of the meetlne will bo any to < corillal. It la reported on good authority that th Union Pacific will offer the Oregon Shor Line a constructive mileage ot 1.6 , and i vould bo no ri/flt surprise should the offer ie accepted , ll Is known that the Short .Ine Is anxious for close relations with the Union Pacific again. The old figure on which the Ttrafflc earnings were divided vas 1.75 , bnt tile Union Pacific has , It Is aid , refused t ngrce to that figure with the ndcpcndcnt line.

CHICAGO , Juno 16. The executive ofil- corn ot the western roads held an Informal conference this afternoon to discuss the withdrawal of the Union Pacific from the Western Passenger association. Nothing was done at the meeting , but It Is undoubtedly a fact that the roads view the situation with considerable apprehension. The refusal of the Union Pacific to co-operate with any of the association roads In any v ny cannot but hnvo the effect of demoralizing the rntes of all the roads who have been passing through Ogden gateway. The opinion of the meeting today wns that nothing can be done In the matter until It Is seen what the Union Pacific is going to do. There Is no hope of pence In the matter unless the Union Pacific should back down from the position It has assumed. U wns asserted In the meeting yesterday thnt the other roads had no right to make any arrangement for division with the Oregon Short Line without the consent ot the Union I'aclllc. The other rends con tend that they have the right to make any arrangement they cheese nnd nt least three of them have announced that they will not consent that the Union Pacific shall dictate what terms they shall make with the Oregon gen Short Line or any other line. Late this afternoon the Alton nnd North western railroad * announced that they , would side with the Union Pacific. The i lines httvo not withdrawn from thci Wentrin Paajenger asscclitlnn , but their action I amounts to practically the same thing. A i meeting of the executive officers will be i held tomorrow nnd nn attempt made to patch up peace , but If It Is not euccfffful It Is difficult to see how n war In par-scnger Vatea , covering all the territory between Chicago and Ogdcn , can bo avoided.
