Prlc?s"'for all foodstuffs ."were, hig.h .when
the presett jonHnlssloo' tolilt- told ., at
alrs on the'lsthmus, said Mr. Shonts,: nd
ho then told ' of opening' the commissary
department to the laborers to.' remedy the.
conditions. - Ho discussed the Market con
tract. ' - ' ' "'
"No matter. how the canal Is built,", hu
said, "there are two things over Which the
United States should always exercise con
trol, the government of the sone an, the
sanitation. And the governor "of the'
one should have his headquarters at
Ancon." 1 '
Senator Gorman conducted au extendwl
examination of the witnesses concerning
conditions at the time Mr. Wallace sur
rendered charge of the work and Mr. Stev
ens took control. He showed that Mr.
Stevens had Increased tho payroll from 8,W
to 13,000 men In three months without doing
anything toward digging the canal. No
trouble was experienced In getting plenty of
Martinique and Jamaican laborers, out
there had been difficulty In getting the best
class of labor, according to Mr. Shonts.
Families of Laborers.
Senator Gorman asked 'concerning the de
mand for the importation of women and the
witness replied that this had been brought
about by the assurance that better laborers
could bo obtained If their families, were
taken to the Isthmus. Mr. Stevens was said
by Mr. Shonts to bava been responsible for
the' importation of families, but Mr. Shonts
said he had later approved his action. It
appeared that the canal commission paid $7
a head for the Importation of these ''women
and Senator Gorman asked In what manner
this money was reoovered. "We-don't get
It hack. It is a gratuity." Most of these
women found employment In the hotels and
boarding houses and that In fact tbey Were
laborers. . . . . .
-It was explained by Mr. Shonts that an
tlvorlty had been Issued to Mr. Stevens to
enter, into- contracts of various descriptions
without submitting the terms to the canal
commission, but that h,ls acta.. under this
broad Instruction, were subject, to review.

Jnn. it:. 19t. Sir: In view of the fact that
there seems to be no opportunity for action
before the courts against the counsel of tho
beef packers, who. It appears from District
Attorney Morrison's statement, has been
fullty of bribing a reporter the reportor
aving disseminated false anci misleading
statements n to the case against the Beef
trust It seems to me that the onlv course
left Is to publish Mr. Morrison's letter and
the other documents in (he case. This I
direct to be done. Kxtraordlnary efforts
have been made In this case, ss in one or
two similar cases, to poison the public
inlnd by the dissemination of false and mis
leading statement, and it is right that the
public should know why and how their cir
culation Is secured. Very triilv yours.

Aersws Reporter l.t Oat,
CHICAGO, Jan. M. -George Wheeler Hin
man the editor-in-chief of the Inter Ocean,
tonight Issued the following statement:
Mr. Hasler, the accused reporter, ceased
tonight to have any connection with this
newjajer. He undertook to report the
trial of the packers under these instruc
tions, and no others: "Tell tho truth and
treat thu packers fairly." A reporter who
Uvkea money, even though he does so in
nocently, as Mr. Ilasler appears to have
done in this case, has lost ins useiilness to
the Inter Oean. The Insinuation that the
general policy of the Inter Ocean has In
any way been fixecj by Mr. Hasler is, of
course, ridiculous. Hereafter, as, hereto
fore, the truth regarding the trial of the
packers will be told without prejudice
against either prosecutora or the prose
cuted. When shown the statement from Wash
ington Judge Brown said: . ;r
. f "ma" Christmas present that I gave
I Mr. Hasler. who la an old friend and neigh
' dot of mine, was my own money and had no
more bearing on the packers' trial or his
reports of It than tin any one case I might
have had in band at the time. I gave prea
euts o the same nature to thirty or thlrtv
flvo persons. The fart that I am one of the
counsel or tne Inter Ocean and a
personal friend of the ejieors shows the
after prepoet-'rousr.i-sa of tin- insinuations
uttered by the I'nited States district at
torney In this caae.y .
Ktatraieat ay Mr. Klwell.
Hector H. Klwell. In explaining his con
nection with the matter, said:
On Decern tier 3 Mr. Hasler came to me
and said that Attorney Brown had re
quested him to nnd out If I would accept a
Christmas present from him. Mr. Hasler
Impresaed upon me at the time that the
K resent was to oome from Judge Brown and
ad nothing whatever to do with the pai-k-ers.
I told him I could not accept anything
of value under the circumstances. A few
days later Mr. Hasler reopened the subject
saving that Judge Brown wished to make
me a present because of some complimen
tary articles he believed I had written of
him. Hasler then presented me with $100
and a card of Judge Brown bearing the
words. "Merry Christ ma George W
Brown. I refused tn fuk it wa if- it. .
I ler put It in my overcoat pocket, saving
I Judge Brown insisted that I should have It
. reported tne matter to my superior and
then went to Judge Brown's office snd re-
turned him the money. Me aaid he hoped I
had not been offended and was torn- i
could not accept It.
Some time later I was called to the office

that Judge Brown had len at his office and

alleged . corrupt practices. On motion of
Courtrlght, tho resolution, with an amend

to the committee nd Insurance. Tho Mols
berry resolution calls for an Investigation
by a commission calling witnesses. , Sena
tor Warren has a bill' With the' committee
providing for an investigation by advising
with the auditor chiefly for the purpose
of reporting needed legislation and with
out the authority to call witnesses.' The
Molsberry' resolution calls for the expense
to be borne by the state, which cannot bo
done by a- resolution. It Is likely that
a bill of some kind will be reported to the
seuate. ......

Ware was In the court room when the
verdict was rendered and other than turn

read tho announcement of his being found
guilty, manlfested.no visible-emotion. He
left the court room shortly after with liH
attorneys.
The case has thus far cost the govern

With the Completion of the rase Friday
afternoon the Jury as thanked by the
court and discharged for the term. Tho
Jury had been entertained at the Iler Grand
hotel and as a precautionary measure the
government employed secret service men to j
prevent any possible tampering with tho
Jury. particularly during tho night and
recess" intermissions of the court.
Court's Charae Extensive.
Judge Munger occupied thirty-five min
utes delivering bis charge to tho Jury. H
said in part: v
"This trial has been that of George O.
Ware alone. His co-defendants already
have pleaded guilty .to the Indictment of
conspiracy. If one party to the conspiracy
Is guilty, all are equally guilty. One party
must effectuate the completed net before
the full ronFplracy Is established.
"The validity of a claim rests upon the
principle of good faith." he said. "It Is not
a compliance with the law to file upon a
claim with no intention to make the land
his home, and a ccnsplncy me ins the meet
ing of two or more minds in an unlawful
agreement. If the filing of a claim con
templated the alienation of the land to
other parties Is not complying with the law
In good faith. However, the law does not
limit tho dominion of the -'homesteader over
his land after be has completed his final
proof under the Jaw.
"An Indictment Is no evidence of guilt.
It s (hfe cortoboratlng circumstances to do
tho alleged unlawful act that constitutes
tho essence of the conspiracy. The state
ments of Lambert nnd Welsh arc, undev
the law, admissible und bear a distinct re
Ta'fTbW "toward "fhA' ertabllslniieht if the act'
charged. The question Is, Wns Ware con
nected with the conspiracy? Ware cannot
be convicted unless It Is shown thnt be
was a party to the alleged unlawful
scheme. The mere advancing of money Is
hot unlawful: Conviction cannot rest upon
the strongness of the suspicion of a crime
In criminal cases no more than a prepon
derance of evidence In a civil case. The
credibility of i wltners must be determined
by the Jury."

Class Madents.
ANNAPOLIS. Md., Jan. M.-The trial of
Midshipman George Melvln of Geneseo,
111., began this morning. Melvln Is a mem
ber of the third class.
The charge of haslng against Melvln Is
supported by six specifications, alleging the
haling- of five different midshipmen, all Tf
the fourth clnss. Vnder five of the specifi
cations only the requirement of physical
exercise Is s Urged, and In one the use of
abusive language is also charged.
. Thu order dismissing Midshipman Stephen
Decatur, Jr., from the Nat at academy was
read out at dinner formation st the
academy this afternoon. He left the grounds
shortly after.
It Is believed here that the1 hoard of In
vestigation which furnishes the data upon
which charges of haslng are lodged against
midshipmen will adjourn sine die In a few
days. This (s the first "indication that the

With Irritating Skin Humor-Whol '
- Body Affected Scalp Itched" All-
the Time and Hair Began to Fall;
Out Wonderful Result From
APPLICATION OF
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"I am neer without Cuticurtt Soap .
and Cuticuru Ointment since I tried
them last summer. About the latter
part of July iny whole body began to
itch. I dia not take much notice of it
at first, but it beean to get worse all tho
time, and then I began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds of baths and other
remedies that were recommended for
bkin humors; but I became worse all
the time. My hair began to full out snd
my scalp itched all the time. Espe
cially at night, just as soon as I would
get in bed and got warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
long before I could not rest night or day.
A friend askod tne to try the Cuticura
Remedies, and I did, and the first appli
cation helped ma wonderfully, tor
about four weeks I would take a hot
bath every night and then applv the
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body;
and I kept getting better, and bv tfio
time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but I continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. It keeps all dan
druff out and scalp is always clean. I
always use Cuticura Ointment on my
face after shaving, and have found
nothing to equal it. I will never ba
without it." D.KUlankenship,
