PERJURY CRUX OF THE CASE
Defense in Yeast and Sutton Case
Says None Was Committed.
DAY SPENT IN ARGUMENT
Government Attorneys Hold Making;
of Declaratory Statements to Be
. Sold for Fraudulent Pnr-
' . . ,
poses Is Criminal.
Much of the time In the Yeast and Sut
ton land trial before Judge Munger In the
Vnlted States district court was taken up
Thursday afternoon with the arguments of
counsel upon the question of subornation I on the ground that no crime had been com
a soldier from selling his declaratory state
ment to any person, and that there Is no
crime In his doing so.
Attorney Rush, for the government, held
that every person must be held responsible
for his own acts as well as what he con
spires for others to do. He said: "This Is
not a case where these defendants entered
Into a conspiracy to secure and buy sol
diers' declaratory statements, but the de
fendants did these things in pursuance of
a conspiracy to defraud the government by
means of false, fraudulent and fictitious
entries of public lands. These declaratory
statements are simply the foundations of
the conspiracy1.' The evidence the govern
ment Is Introducing here is to sustain the
allegations of the indictment."
The Jury had been excused during the
arguments, which were based upon an ob
jection to the admissibility of the declara
tory statements as a part of the overt aot
Dlatarbod the t'ona;res;atlnn.

of perjury In the matter of homestead
proofs. The question was finally taken un
der advisement by Judge Munger and his
decision will be bused upon the admissi
bility of certain evidence yet to come dur
ing the trial.
Mr. Woodrough of counsel for the de
fense entered Into an extended argument
upon the question of declaratory state
ments, which he held were merely declar
ations of Intention to do a certain thing,
and wore not of themselves criminal
transactions and could not be construed
as a part of an entry of a homestead.- He
held that the declaratory statement was
simply a caveat, an Intimation or a notice
that the filer of it intended to do a cer
tain thing. Ho further held that there Is
no law on the statute books that prohibits
mined.
'Judge Munger held that the objection lay
only as to a part of the third count of the
Indictment and that the evidence of Mrs.
Wheeler and Mrs. Hodge, soldiers' widows,
showed that they had completed their en
tries and that the evident Intention of the
defendants was to take up all the land
for ten miles around them. The court
thereupon overruled the objeotlon on the
round that the evidence has shown the
existence of some sort of an agreement or
dedicated this month; two wholesale houses
and several smaller buildings on Main
street. In the residence portion ot tho city
me nouses that have been built number
about iw, which cost all the way from
11,500 to $4,000, and representing In the ag
gregate a very large sum of monev. A
new school house In the eastern part of
the city Is Just being completed to cost
about $20,000.
The future outlook for building this year
is very encouraging. Work will commence
in the early spring on the erection of the
government building,' to cost $90,000, bids
for. which will. , be ppaned. the .latter part
of this month. Tha.Qilcago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul will complete its large freight
house and the company has the completed
and accepted plana for the erection of a new
passenger station to cost fully $35,0u0. A
special election will be held soon to vote
on bonds for the erection of a new high
school building to cost at least $10),o'O.
DETROIT, Mich.. Jon. 2. Coach Yost
of the 1'nlversiry of Michigan in an in
terview today flatly denied tho charge
of President Jordan of Leland Stanford
university that Yost offered O. W. Greg
ory of California $1,500 to enter the Uni
versity of Michigan. Yost brlnas for
wsrd a telegram from Gregory sustaining
this denial.
"For five years I have endured, with
out "reply, the aspersions of rresld.int
Jordan," said Yost. "It seems to me that
the time has romo when I must demand
that Jordan must product some sort ot
proof for the charges he baa made. Pres
ident Jordan states that while George
Gregory was in the Washburn Prepara
tory school at San Jose, Cal., there came
an offer from Yost, througti a local
agent, of $1,500 to begin with if he wauld
enter Michigan. Gregory accepted and
went. I will give $1,000 to any charitable
Institution In, Detroit that he may name
if he can prove there is one word or truth
In this statement.
In order that 1 might first Rive Pr.
Jordan an opportunity to vouchsafe the
proof of any statement at my request,
two Petroit friends asked him for the
name of my agent in tho Gregory mat
ter.
'Dr. Jordan replied that he had no
thought of reviving old Issues, but will
now place all information with Plexotto
for fullest Investigation; that he cannot
make public his sources of Information
without permission.
Telegram from Circsjory.
"My denial is backed up as strongly
as I can make it. I have a telegram from
Gregory, in which he says:.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 81. F. H. Yost.
Detroit, Mich.: Yost never offered me
$1,600 nor any part thereof to enter Mich
igan. G. W. GREGORY.
'Dr. Jordan has also assailed the
scholastic eligibility of W. Martin Heston
and Ralph Rose. Heston entered Michi
gan as a graduate of San Jose Normal
from which Institution Leland. Stanford
admits graduates not only without ex
amination, but also with a full sematcr's
credit. Rose entered vMlchlgan on his
high school diploma, and Michigan de
serves credit for dropping a man who
holds seven world's records and this
without protest from anyone. President
Jordan fell flat when requested by the
Amateur Athletic union for proof of
Rose's professionalism.
"Such statements as those made by Dr
Jordan have poisoned the minds of many
prospective students of athletic ability
They may perhaps be pardoned for draw
ing the Inference that someone is wait
ing with open hands on every corner of
every campus to help them through their
university course. Perhaps It Is but
natural ' that they are disappointed when
they find that such 'conditions prevail
largely in imagination."

statements, homestead affidavits and final
proofs.
Thursday morning Mrs. Sophia H. Cur

The question of the relation of the de
claratory statements to the fact of final
proof, or the completion of the transaction
of the alienation ot the lands under this

defense contended that the soldier or

towns In the "ceded portion of the Rose'

sprung into existence following the
opening of the ceded lands in 1W6.
The law requires that in such cases the

nn YEAR FOR IIACE BETTER 9
John W. Gates and Jesse I.ewlsonn
the Blirajest Winners.
Very few notablo bettors wuifered big
monev on the metropolitan race tracks
last year, and those who did, with a few
exceptions, finished behind the fcame. From
the outset of the 1907 campaign things
would not break right for the neavy spec
ulators, so that before midsummer arrived
it was a common occurrence that the word
was pasHed around:
"Everybody Is broke:"
At no tlmo during the season did the
BputHcular bettors, barring John W. Gates,
Jesse Lrwlsohn ond Davy Johnson, get woll
ahead of the bookmakers, but these high
flyers differed In the f.tct tlint Gates and
lA'Wlsnhn got awny with their coin, while
Johnson remained and dropped everything
lie owned before the season cHme to an
end. Gates. Lewlsohn snd Johnson were
far and away the biggest httor on the
local tracks, and so conspicuous did their
gambling become that the Jockcv club,
always opposed to big r'ay. warned them
to desist, or rather to curtail their wagers,
so that no general attention would be at
tracted. Gates did not rellah publicity after he
got the tip from the powers that be, for
It meant that he would have to quit the
game altogether. Kut before he attracted
the uttcntion of the turf governors Oe.tes
evidently enjoyed the daily tank of deplet

formed into formidable betting proposi

liarly his own, although he never applied
to the Jockey club for a license, but had
his horses saddled by a trainer named W

was betting heavily on each race. A $5,000

Do you have any Idea where Omaha Is
situated? Don't you know that it'stho
most conveniently situated town in the
mill, 11 west for the circuit now composing
the American association? Drop from the

In regard to the recent New York-Boston
base ball dal Joe Kelley, manager of the
Boston Nationals, savs: "Tenney is one of
the finest plavers lir the business, but he
knows that for his own sake he should play
elsewhere. He will do admirably work for
New York, but he would have been of very
little value in Boston. Bridwell Is not a
strong batsman. I knew him In Cincinnati,
and found that his legs are bad, which still
further handicap his stick work. As a
catcher Needham was not much in Boston.
Ferguson nver had a fair chance In New
York, but he pitched eight games and did
enough good work to convince me that he
has something In him. Dahlen began to
slow down tn Brooklyn before he was sent
to New York, where he took a sudden
brace and played brilliant ball.
