Several witnesses were sworn who made interesting relevatlons. The certification of checks also r? slvad SOSJM attention and a number of witnesses were put up to still fur th.i show the alleged bankruptcy of the defendant during the time he made loans to himself by overdrafts and unsecured notes.

President Brown, of New York Cen iral Lines, witness Yeeterdoy Bc hore Intcr-Stato Commerce Com? mission?MSlntnlni Proposed Gen rial Advance in Rates Necessary to Produce Fair Return on invest? ments. Washington, Oct. 14?President W. C, Brown, <>r the New York Centrai lines, was on the witness stand throughout the day. in the investi? gation being conducted by the In? ter-State common's commission into the proposed advance in freight rates in the Kastern trunk line ter? ritory. With the conclusion of Presi? dent Brown's testimony, before ud lournment this evening, the case of the railroads practically was com? plete, although J. C, Stewart, vice president, in charge of the oper? ations of the Erie Railroad, yet is to be heard. Under the law, it is incumbent up? on the railroads to make a prima facie case of the reasonableness of any proposed general advance in rates considered by the commission. Through the testimony of President James McCrea, of the Pennsylvania system; President Daniel Willard, of the Baltimore and Ohio, and Presi? dent W. C. Brown, of the New York Central lines, coupled with the ex? hibits of statistics and statements of operating officials, heretofore sub? mitted in evidence, the railroad of fical expressed conlidence that they have established their case. President Brown's testimony today frankly set out the industrial and financial operations of the lines un dor his direction. He was cross-ex? amined particularly as to the finan? cial operations of the roads, and ad? hered closely to his view that they were entitled to a fair return upon the investment in the properties?a return that would enable them to meet the extraordinary expenditures, to which they had been subjected, in addition to maintenance of their chargos. The presidents of the thr^e great American railway systems maintain that it is not only the ambition of the railway officials, but the desire of the American travelling and ship? ping public that the railways of the United States should continue to be the best In the world. In order to maintain this admitted prestige foi America, it is the opinion of Presi? dent Brown, as expressed at the hearing that the freight income of the roads should be greater than it Is at present. He pointed out that the development of great railway systems is not merely a matter of national pride or personal ambition, but a pressing necessity upon the country, as a part of its Industrial and financial progress.

LAND OFFICE ANNOUNCES X FW SET OF CHARGES. said to in- as Important as Cunning* j ham Cast's, Made Notorious by Ballinger Controversy. Washington, Oct. 14.?After months of secret effort and patient waiting, the Officials Of the general hind office were aide t<> announce to? day the Indictment of a number of claimants to valuable coal lands in Alaska. The entries involved num? ber 1 f?4 and cover almost Ufj.OOO acres of land, all of which lies in the Hering strait district, in which the Cunningham districts are located. They are what is known as the Eng? land and Btracey or the Christopher Bimmondl groups, the former con? taining 80 and the latter 74 claims Of 1?0 acres each. The deposits cov? ered by these claims are believed to be as rich as those of the Cunning? ham mines which cut a conspicuous figure in the Ball Inger-Plnchot con? troversy. The indictments were handed down in the United States district court sitting at Taeoma, Wash., and the information that they had been returned was conveyed in two tele? grams received today by Commis? sioner Dennett from Special Agent Christensen, in charge of Alaskan matters, to whose efforts the findings are especially due. The first message contained the announcement of the action against the English group and stated that Indictments had been returned against C. F. Munday, A. H. Stracey, Archie W. Shields and E. E. Sieg ley. A few mintues later came the second telegram telling of the in? dictments of Cornelius Christopher, George Simmonds and Mortimer C. Sweeney of the second group. He added that warrants would be is? sued as soon as the indicted men could be apprehended. The first group of defendants takes its name from the fact that a number of people in western Canada are supposed to be interested in the claims taken up by this party. Stra? cey, one of the men indicted, is a resident of Vancouver and is charg? ed with being instrumental in mak? ing some of the locations. Munday Is a prominent attorney in Seattle. The charges against the indict? ment is that the entries were made in the names of "dummies." Most of the entrymen were resi? dent of Washington and their claims are saia to have been located with an agreement that the claims should be assigned to third parties as soon as such parties were willing to be? come interested could be found by the locater. There is said to have been a further understanding that the locater should receive a large percentage of sale price. The charge differs from the charge made in the Cunningham claims in which there was no allegations that the entrymen took the claims for persons other than themselves, but rather that they had a previous agreement to work or dispose of their claims as a unit. It Is said that very few of the claimants in the new cases ever saw the land on which their names were for locations. Both groups of claims figured to , a considerable extern in connection I with the Ballnger-Plnchot inquiry. I Kills a Murderer. *A merciless murderer is Append!- j eitls with many victims.
