Trial of Suspended
Police Inspector
Hayes Goes Over
NEW YORK, Aug. SO.-When the police
trial of Former Inspector Hayes was
called, counsel for the officer moved that
the trial be heard by some other deputy
commissioner than First Deputy Commis
sioner McKay, who was presiding. Coun
sel said that it was proposed to sub
poena Mr. McKay as a witness in tCie
case. Commissioner McKay declined to
rule and adjourned the case , over until
next Friday when a decision will be made
on the motion for a new trial judge.
With the calling of the trial today of
Police Inspector Cornelius Hayes, on a
charge of making a false statement to
Police Commissioner Waldo, District At
torney Whitman expected that informa
tion would be unearthed to throw Im
portant sidelights on police blackmail,
arising out of the Rosenthal murder case.
The alleged false statement of Hayes
was that he received orders from Mr.
Waldo not to Interfere with disorderly
houses in his district. Mr. Waldo reduced
Hayes to the rank of captain- and sus
pended him when Hayes repeated this
statement In the presence of other in
spectors.
The publio may be denied the privilege
of listening to the revelations disclosed
by the John Doe investigation into police
corruption. Supreme Court Justice Goff
Is inclined to believe the John Doe In
vestigation should be held behind closed
doors as he thinks that In this way evi
dence can be brought out for use before
the grand Jury. ;

was C5.06 miles. His teammate, Edward
Pullan, finished second with another

"There Is less friction in business this
year on account of the coming national
election than In" any presidential election
that I can remember of, and I remember
many," said Congressman Lobeck, who
returned yesterday from Washington. "
"Business men and manufacturers In
! the east do not seem to be alarmed over
the election, and are not afraid that busi
ness will be disturbed. This is due, I
think, to the wonderful crops."
Congressman Lobeck says the election
this year is more of a personal affair
than ever -before. ' He would not bs
quoted, however, on the Penrose-Arch-bold-Roosevelt
affair, although he did say
the former president would be harmed by
It before the election was over.
"The controversy between the repub
licans and progressives Is going to be so
great that neither Roosevelt nor Mr. Taft
will be able to carry a vote large enough
to defeat Wilson.,. Wilson will have one
big party supporting him, while the re
, publican party, Is spilt" added 'the con
gressman. "The next house win be democratic
That is, already conceded in Washington,
a 'id I think the majority will be even
larger than at present."

CHICAGO, Aug. 30. -Rejection of the

Solomon Luna, New
Mexican Stockman
Dies in Sheep Vat
ALBUQUERQUE, X. M., Aug. SO.
Solomon Luna, millionaire ' banker and
sheep owner, for sixteen times republican
national committeeman' for New Mexico,
was found dead today in a dipping vat at
his sheep ranch, seventy miles from Mag
dalena, N. M.
The contract for the grading of the
Hastings-Gibbon cut-off of the Union
Pacific has been let to Kllpatrick Broth
ers & Collins of Omaha and Beatrice and
will be begun as soon as the teams can
be assembled, which will be inside of ten
days. The distance between the two
points Is thirty miles fcnd It Is expected
that most of the grade will be com
pleted Inside of ninety days,, as the
country is level with the exception of a
hog back a few miles south of the Platte
river. ; . ,-t ' ' ' ,
Work on the bridge ytlll be commenced
as soon as the material can be gotten on
the ground, which will be Inside of three
weeks, in order to have tjie bridge fin
ished by the time that the grading Is
completed, it Is likely that an electric
light plant will be located at the river
and work carried on night and day.
Another Cnt-Ofl Proposed.
In connection with the building of the
Hastings-Gibbon cut-off comes the re
port that the Union Pacific will build Us
cut-off between Fort Morgan and Denver
this fall, This will shorten the distance
between Omaha and Denver something
like fifty miles.
At present the Union Pacific line Into
Denver runs from Julesburg to LaSalle,
where It strikes the line from Cheyenne
and then In, taking something of a round
about course. With the new cut-off it
will be almost an air line from Fort
Morgan to Denver. The line was sur
veyed several years ago and would have
been built two years ago had the finan
cial condition of the country been favor
able. . The grading will probably be let to
Kllpatrick Brothers & Collins.
