NEW YORK.. Nov. 19.-The annual
meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union
of the United States, which was held at
the Astor House during the day,
adopted stringent resolutions to govern
the relations of amateurs to profession

Holmes Lawyer Arrested on
Charge Of Buying False
Affidc.VitS.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-The Daily News
publishes the following story:
James McNeary, conductor on the
Sixty-third street electric line, has
sprung new sensation in the Holmes
case by stating that Benjamin L. Pet.
eel is alive, and that he recently talked
with him on his car. Mr.. McNeary
claims there can be no mistake, as he
worked nine months for Pietzel and
knows the peculiarities OF his voice.
According to McNecry, Pietzel boarded
his car few days previous to Holmes
trial. Pietzel's beard had grown
around the greater part Of his face, so
that he was completely disguised.
When addressed, however, he admitted
his identity and asked as friend that
McNeary keep silence.
Mr. Robert Corbett, who has been fol.
lowing the case for months i'll behalf Of
the Farmers and Mechanics National
bank, Fort Worth, Tex, also claims
that he has seen Pietzel.
II never believed that Pietzel was
Dead" he declared. Il believe that if
Holmes is not granted new trial
Pietzel will declare himself to the gov
ernor Of Pennsylvania when all other
means are exhausted, and Isaac R. Hit,
Jr., and myself both have his address
in Philadelphia. Minnie Williams is
shipping at the same place under the
name Of Mrs. E. NJ. Gardener, while
Pietzel is known as G. D. HAIL.

PART OF ITS OBLIGATION.

Union Pacific Compelled to Keep Up q
Separate Telegraph Line.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The United
States supreme court in decision by
Jnstice Harlan held, in effect, that the
Union Pacific Railway company had no
right to make lease practically giving
the Western Union Telegraph company
all exclusive right to maintain tele-
graph lines along the route of the rail-
road company.
The decision holds that the United
States has right to maintain a bill in
equity to compel the Union Pacific to
maintain its own lines Of telegraph
along it's railroad routes, and that the
obligation imposed on the railway COM
pany to do this was as strong as its OBJ
legations to maintain the railroad tracks.

counsel for the defense, William A.
Shoemaker, the young attorney whose

its every detail, passed through all or.

he was held in 81 800 bail to answer a

means that he manufactured evidence
tending to prove that Benjamin F.
Pietzel, for whose murder Holmes was
convicted two weeks ago, committed
suicide, and that he, Shoemaker, paid a
woman $40

pressed his confidence in his colleagues

the evidence of his guilt was over

of Discussion.

ST.. PAUL, Nov. 19.-The first session
of the Northwestern immigration con-
vention was called to order at 10 a. III.
by Chairman Theodore Schumacher of
the committee on arrangements and or
ganization. The attendance was about
as large as expected, nearly 1000 dele
gates being present from that part of
the United States in the interest of
which the convention is being held.
After the convention was called to or
the opening prayer was made by Bishop
Gilbert. Governor Clough followed
with an address Of welcome on behalf
of the state of Minnesota and Mayor
Smith did like duty for the city OF
St. Paul. A statement of the origin
and purpose of the convention was
then made by President Footner Of the
Commercial club.
To Encourage Immigration.
The purpose of the convention is to
encourage and stimulate a desirable
class Of immigration from the crowded
Eastern states and Europe, and to de-
wise means for presenting in the most
compact and attractive form the re-
sources and advantages of the great un-
developed Northwest. To this end
delegates from all the states will join in
the promotion of harmonious and
energetic organization, through which
means the homeseeker may select a site
from the millions Of acres lying be-
tween the Great Lakes and the Pacific
ocean.
The gathering is an imposing one.
Governor Clough, Lieutenant Governor
Day, State Auditor Dunn, Secretary of
State Berg, Archbishop Ireland, James
J. Hill, Budd Reeve and other distin-
guished public men from all parts of
the great Northwest will discuss the
various aspects of the immigration ques-
ton, and present practical suggestions
for the filling up Of the thousands Of
unoccupied garden spots in the territory
embraced under the name NORTHWEST. {"
Each State Has Its Own Ri. hes.
The fish and fruit of Washington and
Oregon, the mines and grazing lands of
Montana, Wyoming and Idaho and the
farms and factories Of Minnesota and
the Dakotas speak for themselves and
present inducements to the inhabitants
of the overcrowded and overworked
East, advantages which need only to be
seen to % graspeu.
It will be the aim of this convention
through committees it shall appoint, or
through such other agencies as it may
create, to present these advantages and
exploit the resources Of this country in
their most attractive form, exaggerating
nothing, but simply holding up the
picture as it is.
There will be two days of constant
and systematic work, after which, no
doubt, there will be committee work to
perfect and carry out the plans which
wisdom and experience will suggest in
the convention
