 California contained another lucky individual at the same drawing, for he also went to Wells, Fargo X Go. and cashed his coupon through them. He succeeded, however, in very effectually concealing his identity, as all efforts to discover his name or whereabouts have proved quite unavailing. All that could be learned is that he is hard-working mechanic living in the Mission.

Mr.. POWELL made statement before

yesterday, which requires some atten-
ton. He seems to want some adyertis-
ing at the hands Of the REGISTER. Ii
it is indebted to him in any way,
and it has no such knowledge, he
should present his account at the office,
where all bills are paid II correct. Ifhe
promised to represent Mr.. NEWMAN,
the REGISTERS correspondent at
Moundsville, he should have full
filed his promise. The REGISTER
did not know him in the transaction.
1t was a matter between Mr.. NEWMAN
and Mr.. POWELL. so that his statement,
even II true, did not justify
him in neglecting Mr.. NEwMAN's inter-
ests. His pay for reporting the pro-
ceedings would not have come from the
REGISTER, but from Mr.. NEWMAN. In
whose employ he was, IL in anyone's.
Mr.. POWELL should make better list
of extricating himself from an awkward
position the next time he gets into one
and attempts to get out.

Another Chapter in the Sensational schrei
Case.

The hearing OF Mrs. Mary Johnson.
charged with fornicatlon and adultery
by Mrs. Joseph Schric, came of before
Justice Davis last night at O'Clock.
Col. w. w. Arnett and S. o. Boyce ap-
peared for the defense, and Capt. b. B.
Dovener represented the plaintiff. The
witnesses who were heard In the case
against Schrle did not testify again.
The young lady who accompanied
Mrs. johnson and Schrie from the party
at Tapes, testified that she was not re-
lated to the defendant, but knew her
well. She considered Schrie Mrs.
Johnson's escort, and witness did not
exchange word with him until she
reached home, while Mrs. johnson and
Schrie were in conversation all the way
up. She lives square from john
sons, and left the couple at her home.
Her evidence contradicted that Of
Miss johnson in eeveral particulars.
She had met Schrei at Johnson's house
on two occasions. She remembered one
Saturday afternoon, when Schrei was In
Miss Johnson's room In conversation
with her. On another occasion Schrei
came to the door aud asked for Miss
johnson, who was not at home. This
witnesses testimony was very damaging
to defendant.
James Scott. whom Schrei claimed to
have been calling at the Johnson house
to sec, testified that he knew Schrie,
who had called to see him frequently.
He had measured the distance from the
ground TO the window through which
Mrs. Schrie claims to have witnessed
the act OF adultery, and said 1t was i'm
possible for person to do 30. Con-
stable Blocker, however, who testified
later, also made the measurement and
thought 1t could be done.
Defendant, when placed on the stand,
reiterated her declaration of innocence,
and denied that Schrei had accompanied
her to the gate on the night OF the
Tape party. She also denied that she
had ever talked with Schrci after that
night. Another boarder at the house
testified that he frequently entered the
house after midnight. and was obliged
to pass through Miss Johnson's room.
After hearing the arguments Of coun-
sci for the defense, the Justice held
Miss johnson TO await the action of the
grand jury. Bond In the sum OF 500
for her appearance was furnished by
her brother.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Nolte, who
was on Schrei's bond, surrendered him,
and he was placed in jail.

NEEDS TO BE EXCLAIMED.

Why has the government given to a
private concern the contract for build
ing 100 high power guns at over three
and a half millions of dollars when it
could build the same guns at its own
factory much better, In much less time
and for probably half the money? This
Is the question that now has to be
answered in connection with the award
OF the contract to the Bethlehem Iron
Co. Of Pennsylvania on Monday.
Little has been said In the public
prints OF these gun contracts. and the
public consequently is generally ignor-
ant of the inside facts. On this ignor-
ance, it seems, the success Of the Beth
lehem bid depended. If the fact once
became known that the contract was
merely a scheme to give private con-
Germ million dollars profit from the
treasury for work that could be turned
out at the government factory at Water
vliet in better shape, and in half the
time, even the present administration,
with its fondness for bounties and
business enterprises" in all lines, was
sure to hesitate. From the outset. ac-
cordingly, the effort has been made to
conceal what was on foot, and to crowd
the contract to a signature with all pos
sible haste.
The interview last week with the act
ing secretary of war, reproduced In an
other column this morning, shows that
that officer understood the Improbable
bargain the government was asked to
make, and has now made. He seeks to
throw the responsibility on the last Con-
gress, of which no one any longer has a
good word to say, and claims that the
act compeIs the war department to ac-
cept the bid. Congress never intended
that these guns should be made by pri-
concerns at an extravagant cost. The
words of Mr.. BREWER, chairman of the
subcommittee, are conclusive on this
point. He said: ~ take II for granted
that no price will be paid for these guns
above the cost of producing them at the
government factories"
Nor is it possible for the Secretary Of
War to avoid responsibility and put it
upon the defunct Congress. The act
under which these bids are offered ex-
pressly declare "that the Secretary Of
War be authorized to contract there
under for such less number of guns than
one hundred as he may deem for the best
interests of the government" Every gun
built under the proposed contracts will
be built against the best interests OF the
government as to cost both in time and
money.
In an interview in the New York Sun
Congressman TRACEY points out that
the award of this contract will in effect
take "snap Judgment against the pur-
pose Of Congress, twice declared to
establish in time a second government
gun factory On the Pacific coast, or at
some point near the center of the coun-
try." The profit to - ,-ected by this
one Bethlehem bid would 10 -.

From every point Of view the Bethle-
hem bid is improbable for the govern
ment. No attempt TO justify 1t has been
made or can be made, and the more
widely the facts become known the
greater will be the public indignation
over the award.
