Beatty Confirmed.

\ confirmation by the Senate last
week OF the nomination Of James p.
Beatty to be district judge Of Idaho,
marks the termination in favor Of the
administration of the struggle lasting
for nearly u year with Idaho Senators.
Beatty was nominated February 10th
last in spite of the protests of Senators
Shoup and and Mcconnell, who sought
to convince the president that the lom-
ination would not be acceptable to the
people of Idaho. The opposition was
able to prevent action upon the nomi-
nation during the few weeks that re-
manned of the last session of the Fifty
first congress. Three days after the adj
journment of congress however, the
President appointed Beatty to the
.judgeship and his nomination was one
of the first sent to the Senate at the be-
ginning of the present congress. Again
the Idaho senator's resumed their oppo-
sition to the nomination, but tor nearly
a year Judge Beatty has been discharg-
ing the functions of his office in Idaho
and California. His decisions have
been sustained wherever an appeal has
been taken to the superior tribunal and
it was not possible to pick any flaws IN
his judicial career. These facts natur-
ally had an effect favorable to the ter
mination and the senators soon found
that several of their republican col
leagues who had been in sympathy
with them last year had changed their
minds and determined to support the
President. A week ago Shoup ana
Dubois realized that they were defeated
and after notifying the judiciary COM
mittee they had nothing to retract out
did not care to follow the matteriurther,
tbey abandoned the contest ana the
nomination was confirmed without
any opposition.

law passed by congress prohibiting the
use of the mails for advertising the

continued to bleed the people and cor
rupt state government, is slowly being
brought to feel the effect of law and
public opinion. The thousands of dol

giant Octopus, form constant drain
on the classes who are not able to

this mighty game of chance. Until
this is crushed good government will

CHIEF MURPHY DOUBTS 1T

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 9. 1S92.-John
Hyer, the Jersey City embezzler who re-
Gently escaped from Detective Dalton
while on the train and near the end of
his journey home, sailed for Australia
yesterday on the steamer Alameda.
Hyer. it will be remembered, led the
detective a merry dance here for weeks,
securing repeated writs of habeas corpus.
This proceeding SO disgusted Dalton that
he took to drink and was placed in a
home for inebriates. The Judge dis
missed the writ on Saturday afternoon,
December 19, and new writ could not
be secured before the following Monday.
This was Dalton's golden opportunity.
But he wasn't in condition to profit by it.,
and when he came out Of the Inebriates'
Home he had to begin tho legal tight all
over again.
This again disgusted him. and he tried
more whiskey, so that he became violent
and was placed in the receiving hospital.
GOT HIS MAN.
Finally, after spending $1,000 here,
Dalton got possession of Hyer and started
east. Hyer adroitly made him believe he
was eager to stand trial. Dalton's sus-
picions were allayed.
He took the handouts off the prisoner /,
and the result was Hyer escaped at a lit
tie station thirteen miles from Crest
line, o.
Nothing was known of the details of his
escape until Flyer appeared here on Fri
day night. Hyer said he was with his
wife in the lower berth of a sleeper and
Dalton was in a berth directly opposite.
When the train Stacked up at the little
station Hyer jumped through window
on the side opposite the station and ran
around to the rear Of the train.
There he met policeman, to whom he
told story of being left by the train,
and besought his assistance to get to
Crestline.
They reused livery stable keeper.
Hyer was driven rapidly to Crestline,
where he boarded train for the West.
had AMPLE FUNDS.
He found many of the same employees
with whom he had travelled east and had
a good time, as his wife had given him
ample funds.
When he reached here Sunday night he
went to Jailor Schroeder of the Alameda
County Jail, and ask-d him to secrete
him in the Jail until the steamer sailed on
Saturday. Schroeder refused.
Then he applied to his attorney, Carroll
Cook, but Cook would not do anything
for him. So he kept secreted in some
cheap lodging house till the time for GO
ing on board the steamer Alameda.
just before he sailed he wrote to Cook,
enclosing a telegram to be sent to Mrs.
Hyer. 1t simply read:-
Reached Frisco safely. Sail today for Sydney
on Alameda.
= In his letter to Cook he says he hopes to
do well in Australia, where he will be let
alone, as extradition for embezzlement
does not apply to Australia.

CHIEF MURPHY'S VIEWS
Believes the Story and Has Evi-
dence Supporting 1t.


The telegraphic dispatch from San
Francisco, CAL, to the effect that EN-
bezzler Hyer, who escaped from Detec-
tive Dalton at or near Alliance, Ohio,
while en- route to this city, caused consid-
cradle surprise at Police Headquarters
this morning. Chief Murphy believes
the dispatch to be true, but states that
the fight is not over yet.
"We intend getting that man. no mat
ter where he goes" said the Chief. 81
took charge of the case last Wednesday
and from information received from the
porters and employees on the train from
railway maps, l came to the con-
clusion that Hyer had made
his escape somewhere near Alliance,
at about four O'Clock Sunday morning.
I telegraphed a description OF Hyer to
Chief Stacy of Alliance, and asked him IL
Saturday morning l received a reply to
the effect that man answering Hver's
description had left the train at Alliance,
and had been seen by the police. l tele-
graphed at once to the Chicago author
ities, and also to Superintendent Smith,
telling the latter that had wired the
Chicago authorities of Hyer's escape.
Hyer was seen in Chicago. but before my
despatch to arrest him reached there he
mad left on Western train.
Upon learning this. telegraphed to
Chief of Police Metcalf of Ogden, Utah,
and in reply received information that
Hyer had passed through Ogden on his
way to San Francisco.
STEPS FOR HYER'S ARREST.
son Friday last l telegraphed Chief
Crowley of San Francisco TO arrest Hyer
if seen. l knew that Hyer would not stay
on the Western express and ride into San
Francisco, so l requested Chief Crowley
to watch all local trains and also tele-
graphed to the Sacramento authorities,
asking them to arrest and detain Hyer.
fully believe that Hyer remained in hid
ing after arriving in San Francisco. and L
also believe that he has succeeded in get
ting away to Australia"
DO you think Hyer went to the Jail
where he had been confined and asked for
assistance?" l asked,
mo, / do not, though believe that the
Jail officials have good reason to feel
kindly towards Hyer because of the
money he spent while confined there.
Still i do not selleve any official would
willfully aid fugitive to escape But
that Jail is not in San Francisco as peo-
pie imagine. 1t is across the bay at a
place called Oakland. feel positive
we will have Hyer yet. He is no more
out of our reach now than If he were in
New York Under the treaty of last May
he can be extradited from Australia.
CROWLEY WARNED IN TIME.
"It is no fault of the Jersey City police
that Hyer escaped from this country, as
Chief Crowley had my despatch to arrest
him fully four hours before the arrival of
the train he rode in.
"Phe police officials here were hopeful
until this morning that Hyer would soon
be in their hands again, and it was the
intention of Superintendent Smith and
Captain Kelly, who are travelling through
the West, to take charge of him and land
him in the Hudson County Jail"
Chief Murphy refused to say what step
would next be taken in the matter.

COSMOS AND RELIGION.
All Sorts and Conditions of Men on q
Common Plane.

All Sorts and Conditions of Men on O
Common Plane.
A unique spectacle was witnessed last
evening at the Hotel Washington, the
like of which. has never before been
known in Jersey City. The occasion
was the February meeting of the
Cosmos Club, and the subject under
discussion was the question, "What Is
Your Religione" each member respond
ing thereto with an expression of his re-
ligious convictions or his grounds for
lack OF them. These Confessions of
faith were candid ard highly
most remarkable signs of the times,
affording gratifying evidence of pro-
gress in religious thoughts, when body
of professional men representing such a
diversity of religious belief ana senti-
ment, from the freethinker and agu ostlc
to the Scotch Presbyterian and Roman
Catholic, can meet on a common stamp
ing ground and freely discuss. their
differences.
On invitation of Messrs. Brown and
Walker, the hosts of the evening, the
club adjourned to the dining room, where
an elaborate collation. was served. 1t was
lust twelve O'Clock when tbe members of
the club departed for their homes.
The March meeting OF Cosmos will be
held at the same place, the 'feast of rea-
son" being preceded by dinner at half
past six, after the manner of the Twilight
Club Of New York.

THAT POLICE RECORD" :"
Chief Murphy Indorses Costello and
His Report.

There was q meeting of the Police
Mutual Aid Society yesterday afternoon,
and the old subject of the Police
Record" as published by Augustine E.
Costello for the benefit of the Society
was brought up. Considerable dissatis-
faction prevails among the members of
the Society who do not understand the
case, but everything now points to an
amicable adjustment of the difficulties.
Sergeant Coke presided at the meeting.
Roundsman Hopkins moved that a COM
mittee be appointed to examine into Mr..
Costello's report of sales, receipts and ex-
penditures, as presented to the Police
Commissioners and by that body referred
to Superintendent Smith and Chief Muir
ply. The latter favored the appointment
OF committee with view to satisfy the
members of the society. but stated openly
tello and believed that he had done what
was just and honest and for the best in
terests of the society.
Sergeant Coke objected strenuously to
the appointment of an investigating COM
mittee and insisted that 1t would lower
the honor of the society to do such q
thing.
Chief Murphy wished to please and
satisfy all the members of the society and
stated that he favored the appointment of
a committee. Accordingly a committee
consisting of the Chief and six police
captains was appointed to examine into
the report.
'"This is all very peculiar" said Chief
Murphy this morning, II know Mr..
Costello, and know him to be an honest,
upright man. His reputation Is of the
highest In New YORK. and his report is
easily understood. 1t is open and clear.
The men are not selling the books now.
neither are Costello's agents, and I
think the little difficulty that has arisen
was caused by mismanagement and mis-
fndRmantn
