Defendants' Introduce Tlo Evidence
Except Agreement for the
fine.
On reconvening district court yesterday
morning Judge Thcrnell handed down his
decision overruling the motion of ths de
fendants In the rase of the State against
Leon Loxier and Ed Moore to take the case
from the Jury and direct a verdict for the
defendants. He also overruled the motion
to strike out the testimony of Alderman
Charles Huber.
Counsel for the defense, after a consul
tation with his clients, announced :hey
would Introduce no evidence with the ex
ception of twe contracts relative to the al
leged fake foot race which Charles Greg
ory is alleged to have, signed. The con
tracts show that Lotler was running at
Webb City under the name of Charles
Standard. The first contract binds Stand
ard, alias rosier, and Crlmm to race for
$10,000, and tho second contract provides
for the second race between the two men
for the same stakes and $5,000 additional
put up by Charles Gregory.
County Attorney Killpack made the open
ing argument for the state. Attorney Sall
llnger, In his argument for the defense,
ridiculed the charge that Gregory and Bar
ker had been led blindfold in the deal
and had been defrauded by the defendants.
Ho contended that both Gregory and Bar
ker went to Webb Cjty with the express
purpose of betting on a sure thing, rx
pectlng to win the Webb City follow'
money, but Instead ran up against nn-n
who were sharper than they were, with the
result that Instead of returning to Coun
cil Bluffs several thousands of dollars
richer than they left, they rame home
minus the money they had taken with
them. He Insisted that Gregory and Bar
ker were not entitled to any sympathy,
and the criminal prosecution was purely
and simply an attempt to force the recov
ery of the money which they had lost.
Attorney Flnley Burke, who is assist
ing the county attorney in the prosecution,
will make the closing argument for the
state this morning.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. March (Special.) Gov
ernor Cummlna has declined to ask the sur
veyor general of the United States land
office for a reaurvey of the lake beds and
surrounding land claimed as accretion
land, aa asked for by a large number of
property owners who live adjacent to the
lakes In northern Iowa that have been dry
ing up for several years. There baa been
much litigation over these lake beds and
the land formed by drainage of the shallow
ones and the United States court recently
passed on one very Important oaBe which
was taken there by the state; but there Is
a great deal of the land still in dispute
and the trouble is regarded as only In lis
lnclplency unless some definite action Is
taken to end the controversies. To this
end the land owners who are claiming land
In the lake beda by reason of owning the
surrounding land Rskcd to have the land all
resurveyed and declared swamp land. To
do this the governor would have to certify
his belief that 'he state has no actual right
In the land and that it disavows owner
ship. But the state claims the ownership
of the lake beds and the right to dispose
of the same after reclaiming- The state
executive council has been leasing the re
claimed lands for a nominal sum for a
number of yeara to preserve this right In
the title, and the secretary of the council
has Just been directed to secure bids again
for another year for the lease of these
lands. In this way tho state will hold Its
title until the legislature takes some action
looking to a clearing of the tltlea and
disposal of the whole matter.
Odd Fellows' Home Dedication.
R. L. Tllton of this city has been se
lected as the orator for tho dedication of
the orphans' home built at Mason City,
tho ceremonies to take place May 26. The
grand lodge officers will go from here and
a large delegation of Odd Follows will ac
company them. The home has now been
completed and will soon be opened. Mrs.
J. W. Lewis of Ottumwa has been selected
as the matron. A large delegation of Odd
Fellows from all over the state will be at
Mason City. Mrs. Alice Bellamy of Knox
vllle will represent the Rebekahs. The
Odd Fellows' Orphans' home has been built
by the grand lodge at a cost of about $40,
000, and the building la 65x152 feet in slza,
and has a farm with 300 apple trees in con
nection. Asphalt Versos Brick Warfare.
Another turn waa given today to the
long-standing fight of the brick combine of
this city to prevent Des Moines or any of
the cities of Iowa from using any paving
other that Des Moines brick, the asphalt
peoplet practically effecting the purchase of
the most extensive brick plant in tho state.
This is the Capital City Brick and Pipe
company, of which J. B. McGorrisk of Des
Moines and Omaha Is president. Negotia
tions have been in progress for several
weeks to this end. A few days ago tho
Barber asphalt people got a hlg contract
for brick paving in Waterloo.' underbidding
the other brick 'companies. This necessi
tated the completion of the deal here, and
today representatives of the asphalt com
panies met the brickmakers and concluded
arrangementa for the purchase of the Cap
ital City plant for $90,000. This will en
able the asphalt people to compete with the
brickmakers In the use of brick for paving
In Iowa, and it is regarded as certain to
end in cutting prices on all kinds of pav
ing in this state. It has been ahown in
the past that the Des Moines brickmakers
were selling brick In cities of the state
far below Des Moines prices and the belief
has been general that the companies were
in a close combine.
Accusations Against Unit.
A sensational story rmes from Pueblo,
Colo., relating to Captain J. A. T. Hull of
this city, member of congress and chair
man of the house committee on military af
fairs. It relates to the probating of the will
of Captain Hull's father, Dr. A. Y. Hull,
formerly end for many years a resident
here. There has been some contest over
the will and Captain Hull's sister. Mrs.
Morris, who Is a wealthy society woman
of Pueblo, makes affidavit that the will
which was filed for probate was not the
ssme will that waa ahown her by Captain
Hull a few days after the death of Dr.
Hull, tha. there la a wide difference In
the handwriting and that the wording has
been changed, and that the codicil to the
will, which favored Mrs. Morris and her
brother, was not filed with the will until
several months after the new will was
filed. Nothing Is known here about any
trouble over the will. Captain Hull has
not yet returned from Washington since
tbe adjournment of congress.

LONDON, March 16. Flower, chairman ot
the shareholders' committee, which Instl
gated the prosecution of Whltaker Wright,
the director ot the London sV Globe Finance
corporation, who was arrested yesterday
on his arrival at New York from France,
ssys:
I see Wright la quoted as saying he had
a powerful proctector In an exalted quarter.
That statement ia not new to us. It Is the
keynote of the whole case. Prior to the
failure ot the London A Globe, certain
prrsens maintain, Wright had In his pos.
session letters from leading members of the
English royal family showing they were
mixed up In his transactions. We have
no documentary proof of this. Wright
himself Is probably the only man in the
world who could prove it. If he has such
letters they ought now to be In the pos
session ot me iew rora police, ss we
suppose they searched his effects, and
Wrlalit Is not ready to let such a powerful
weapon of defense out ot his personal
Keeping.
Within a few weeks the chief Issue In
the Wright case will be the question of the
complicity or otnerwiso 01 tne most exalted
persons In tne empire in v right s scheme,
We do not anticipate any difficulty in ob
taining his extradition, but if . what
Wright'a friends mnlntaln turns out to be
true, his genuine prosecution will become
an extremely delicate matter.
We believe, however, that the lawyers
nt present engaged will sift tho matter to
tne ooitom, regaraiess or any conantons.
Sympathises with Wrlatht.
Referring to the Interview with Wright
published in the New York Herald today.
Mr. Flower said:
I quite sympathise with Wright, when he
says the failure of the Ixndon A Globe
was due to the treachery of others. There
la no doubt of that. But It must be re
membered that for three months prior to
the failure the London ft Globe had not
a cent In Its lockers, yet It was doing over
:6i,ouw In speculation at every settlement.
The government's decision that the di
rectors as a body oould not be proceeded
against does not prevent Wright, as the
prime factor In the rotten conditions which
existed before the failure, being made to
take the responsibility.
Mr. Flower's guarded language makes It
clear that King Edward Is "the exalted
person" who Is supposed to be behind
Wright, this phrase always being used In
English courts when the sovereign is re
ferred to except in a formal manner.
Attorney General Flnlay, In the House of
Commons this afternoon, said the crown
would pay the cost of the extradition of
Wright and the payment by the crown ot
the whole expenses of the proceedings
would be considered. His prosecution,
however, would be left In tbe hands of the
official receiver of the London aV Globe
corporation.
Insists Vpon Examination.
NEW YORK, March 16. When Whltaker
Wright was arraigned In court bis counsel
said that, although Wright was willing to
return to England, he would insist on an
xamlnatton here before doing so.
On his way to the federal building Wright
made a statement, In which he said:
I shall waive all extradition formalities
and go back to England as soon aa the
government matures all arrangementa. -This
storv about the amount of money
lost is all bosh. The amount lost altogether
did not exceed 4,000,0uo. This all turns to
ward the time when the crash came. The
dividends paid out under a secured capital,
consisting of mining property, were more
than the capital itself of the Globe com
pany. The Boer war, with Its financial ir
regularities, contributed largely and was
chiefly responsible for destroying the value
of mining properties at that time, when our
assets were .invested. This is a scheme to
destroy the market values of mining prop
erties.
The Globe company today would te on its
feet had it not been for the subway, the
underground road In London, but unfor
tunately In an unwise moment the Globe
became interested in thla, and the crash
came. The money was legitimately lost.
This occurred two years ago. I went over
the books carefully myseii witn me re
ceiver and the matter waa laid In all Its
entirety before Parliament.
Tne attorney general iom me nimseu
that I' had a clean bill of Aealth and was
not culpable in any way. I am an Eng
lishman by birth; I am an American citl
sen. I have three children living with my
wife In England and three are burled in
-phlinriolnhln. Miss Browne Is mv niece
and Is my sister's child. She came here to
visit friends in Philadelphia. I came here
to examine mining properties.
Walts for Britain to Act.
Wright was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Alexander,- and the
hearing was adjourned until Wednesday.
Maurice Untermyer appeared for tbe
prisoner. Asked whether he waived ex
amination Mr. Untermyer replied:
rn the contra, y and I wish to add that
my client states that personally he would
take a steamer immediately ior cngiana
and answer these charges, but on the ad-vli-.
or counsel he will wait further pro
ceedings on the part of the British govern
ment. Mr. wngnc also oeniea inai lie ia n
fnirlilvx from lustlce. He has been absent
from England three weeks in Paris, but In
sists he is not a lugiuve irorn justice.
Charles Fox, legal advlaer of the British
consulate, asked for an adjournment tor
two weeks pending the arrival of papers
from England. This was opposed by consul
tor the prisoner, who, after consulting his
client, said:
I think an adjournment until Tuesday or
Wednesday will be sufficient. Mr. Wright
insists trs Is willing to return to England at
once.
Commissioner Alexander then set the
hearing for Wednesday. Nothing was said
about ball for the prisoner.
When asked whether Wright was going
to waive examination Mr. Fox said they
would consider what to do.
The formal complaint charges Wright
with fraud In publishing false statementa
of the accounts ot the London A Globe cor
poration Kleco Gaards Her Words.
Miss Florenes Browne, aald to be bis
niece, who arrived with him yesterday and
who disappeared from the Alberniarle hotel
later In the day, went to the office of
United States Marshal Hankel with her
counsel. She was not a prisoner. Miss
Browne, while she repeatedly asked to be
excused from answering 'questions, mado
partial replies when questioned by repre
sentattvea of the press. She said she was
the niece of Whltaker Wright, but knew
nothing about his financial affaire.
Mr. Wright, said she, did not bring
large sum of money with him. "It Is not
the custom of English people to trsvel with
large sums," she said. "Tbey secure let
ters of credit or drafts Instead of carrying
large amounts of money. I have only a
small aum with me, enough to carry me
along, but of course 1 am able to secure
any amount I need for any purpose."
Miss Browne said she would return to
England very shortly.
