Judge Rales on I.ttlsrntlnn Over Rains

In the district court yesterday Judge
Wheeler handed down his ruling in the
litigation between Wallace Benjamin and
G. Whltebook over the ownership of the
brick In the ruins of the Union Transfer
company's warehouse building on South
Main street, which was burned to the
ground Inst December. T. G. Turner of the
First National bank, as trustee for the
creditors of Dan Carrlgg, the owner of the
building, sold the brick to Wallace Ben
jamin, while Dan Carrlgg sold them to
Whltebook. When Whitobook began to re
move the brick Benjamin brought Injunc
tion proceedings against him. Judge
Wheeler in his ruling dissolved the In
junction against Whltebook and overruled
the motion for a dissolution of the In
junction secured by Whltebook against
Benjamin. On behalf of Whltebook It was
contended that the Insurance on the build
ing had been sufficient to wipe out the
mortgage on it and that therefore the brick
was the property of Mr. Carrlgg.

master and mayor of Sioux Falls?" and
many other questions along the same line.
It finally developed that owing to the
close resemblance, the officer thought
Colonel Cressey was the much-wanted Con
necticut bank wrecker, and he was out to
capture the fugitive and also the large re.
ward that Is offered for his arrest.
The train had commenced to pull out of
the depot before Colonel Cressey satisfied
the town marshal that he was not the
fugitive and wut permitted to board the

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, March 18. (Special.) In
the senate today It was announced that a
compromise had been reached on the pri
mary election law whereby It should be
a plurality bill, but require at least 35 per
cent, and retain the convention. The bill
was taken up on special order, and the
question before the senate was the amend
ment bv Dunham to require a majority
selection. Senator GUllllnnd, who has al
ways fought the primary, moved a sub
stitute making It 35 per cent, and Bmlth
of Mitchell, a strong Cummins man, sec
onded the motion, saying he believed It
was the best compromise that could be
obtained. McManus, for the democrats
said the democrats had agreed to accept
it. There' were however, several democrats
and several standpatters who refused to
accept the compromise, and voted against
the bill, fifteen In all.
Notwithstanding the compromise In the
senate, there Is a disposition In the house
to pass the committee measure without
amendments, and send the bill to a confer
enoe committee. It Is asserted by Darrali
of Lucas, who has worked hard all session
as chalnnnn of the elections committee In
the house for a straight plurality bill, that
the measure In the house will get sixty
votes without amendment and the proposi
tion Is not to accept the compromise.
A further feature of the compromise
reached In the senate Is that the bill shall
not apply to the selection of Judges. When
the senate adjourned this afternoon the
measure was not disposed of and will come
up the first thing tomorrow morning.
Those voting against the Oillilland amend
ment were: Bleakly, Jamison of Clurke,
Bruse. Elerlck. Foley, Gale, Jamison of
Page, Jones, Lambert, Nichols. Smith of
Des Moines, Stoekey, Taylor, Wade and
Whiting.

consent of tho beneficiary.
Honor lte Postmaster.
Both the senate and house adjourned this
afternoon early to permit members to at
tend the funoral of the late R. C. Hubbard,
who for many years has been postmaster
of the state house. Colonel Hubbard was
city clerk of Council Bluffs for three terms
and resided there before coming to Des
Moines to take the position of postmaster.
Mrs. Huhbard died but a few days before
Colonel Hubbard and the strain of attend
ing her is thought to have hastened the
death of Colonel Hubbard. He was a vet
eran of the civil war and all the soldier
members of the legislature attended the
funeral.
Permits Automobile Railroads.
To permit the erection of railroads ac
cording to plans of a new Invention by
H. G. Gue, a son of former Lieutenant
Governor Gue, whereby one-half the cost
of construction can be saved, a bill Is to
be Introduced in the house, probably to
morrow. The Invention of Gue, It Is
claimed, will revolutionize the fconstruction
of Interurban lines. The track Is to be of
cement. There will be no steel rails and
no ties or trollies or trolly wires and poles
to support the same. Furthermore, there
will be no expensive grades to be cut down
and fills to be made to make a level track,
for the automobile cars, It is claimed, will
be able to climb any hill. The Idea of the
Inventor is to make transportation of people
between cities and towns cheap and quick.
A proposition to build su.g a line In Har

tary affairs which Is investigating the
Brownsville affair, today received from

ton News In order to secure a statement
from him concerning the story.
The statement of Senator Foraker that
he would subpoena the editor of the Gal
veston News was made before he had seen
the dispatch from Major Blocksom.
After the dispatch had' been shown to
him Senator Foraker said It probably Vould
net be necessary to call the editor of the
Galveston paper In view of the admission
that the story of Gray's confession aa a
fake.
Reports of experts of the ordnance de
partment of the army who examined the
thirty-three discharged shells picked up in
the streets of Brownsville on the morning
following the affray, were laid before the
senate committee on military affairs by the
officers who examined the shells at the
Springfield arsenal under glass and micro
scope. The conclusion of the War depart
ment, expressed in a letter to Chairman
Warren from Secretary Taft, which was
presented by Lieutenant Hawkins of the
ordnance department, Is that the shells
were discharged from Springfield rifles In
the hands of members of Company B, one
of the discharged companies of the Twenty
fifth infantry.
Secretary Taft's letter says the shells
were examined by Lieutenants Hawkins
and O. A Spooner, expert inspector of
gauges used In the manufacture of mus
kets at the Springfield arsenal.
AH the rifles In the possession of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry on August 26 were
In the hands of these experts and two
regular cartridges were discharged from
each rifle and the discharged shells sub
jected to full examination.
Four rifles from Company B, Twenty-fifth
Infantry, were used In the Brownsville
affray, If the army ordnance department
can substantiate reports sent to the senate
committee on military affairs today con
cerning the mlscroscoplc examinations of
the thirty-three shells picked up In the
streets of the town on the morning follow
ing the shooting.
All the rifles In the possession of the
battalion at Fort Brown on the night of
August 13 were sent to the Springfield
arsenal and two shots were fired from
each. The shells used were then compared
with those picked up at Brownsville and
the officers making the tests reported that
It had been demonstrated beyond dispute
that four guns of Company B were used
In discharging all of the thirty-three shells.
Two of Company B's rifles said to havo
been used In the affray were kept in the
storehouse under lock, the key of which
was in the possession of former Quarter
master Sargent Walker McCurdy, and the
other two rifles were said to have been is
sued to Privates Joseph L. Wilson and
Thomas Taylor. Benator Foraker immedi
ately had subpoenas Issued for Taylor and
Wilson and for the recall of McCurdy.

Western Land Were JVot Found
In Records.
WASHINGTON, March 18. In the Her
mann trial today Attorney Worthlngton for
the defense cross-examined Charles L. Du
bois, chief of the division of surveys of the
land office. On Thursday Dubois had
Identified certain correspondence on file In
the office. It was Intended by the prose
cution to show that Commissioner Her
munn had answered some of the letters In
this correspondence and that no reoord of
such answers remained In the office.
In answer to questions by Mr. Worth
lngton today Mr. Dubois said that It was
a custom of the office to give verbal In
formation to attorneys who might apply
for It and that no record was kept of
such a transaction.
In the cases in question the witness ad
mitted that had an attorney applied in
person for the information sought In the
letter there would have been no record of
that fact in the office. As a part of the
proceedings fifty letters were put In evi
dence all bearing notations "answered by
the commissioner." The letters are part
of the official records of the land offloe,
but the answer- are not of record, accord
ing to the contention of the prosecution.
Ten clerks of the offlce are witnesses today,
each identifying certain of the letters.
L. F. Puter of Eureka. CaL, testified
for the prosecution that be had made a
search for certain letters alleged to have
been written by S. A. D. Puter of Berkely,
Cal. The letters were not found.
This evidence was said to lay the neces
sary foundation for future testimony to
