CAPT. HEALY'S HISS.
Nobody in the Court Heard 1t
but Lieut.. Daniels.
THE PROSECUTION NOT STRONG
Two of Daniels Witnesses Go Back on
Him. and One Gives Material Aid
to the Accused officer.

San Francisco. Feb. 1.-The Healy inves-
tigaiion spun out today like fo'castle
yarn. The board turned rs attention the
first thing in the afternoon TO the charges
made by Daniels that Capt. Healy had been
under the influence of liquor while at sea
of Chierkof island Oh June ). s and Z. Fur
rhermore Ii was alleged that on one of
these days the then commander OF the Bear
had violently assaulted two wardroor2
boys, T. Ohno and F. SUNNI On - 18th
of June. Daniels testified. while the Bear
was at Dutch Harbor, Capt Healy had
grievously insulted all his officers in the
cabin before Mr.. Gray. the agent of the
Alaska Commercial Company. He was
positive that his superior officer was drunk
on that occasion.
While the lieutenant was giving this tes-
timony he was sitting within a couple of
feet from Capt. Healy and about the same
distance from Barclay Henley, one OF the
attorneys for the accused. For about the
tenth time he had repeated his opinion that
his superior officer was drunk, when he
varied the pause which followed by jump
ing TO his feet and loudly calling upon the
court to protect him from insult. Il ask
the court" he exclaimed. Ito protect me
from the insults of this man. Ever since
/ have been testifying he has been kissing
liar at me through his teeth. l can't
stand il any longer" This statement threw
the court into commouon. everybody
looked at everybody else, and wondered
what il was all about Nobody seemed to
know what to do except Capt Healy. who
promptly denied that he had at any time
Kissed liar or anything else at Lieut..
Daniels. Messrs. Henley and Costello
stated on their oath as lawyers that they
had not heard Capt Healy hiss at his ac-
cuser. No other person than Daniels
seemed to have heard the sounds, and after
he had been allowed to cool down the court
proceeded with it's Investigation.
SUNNI and Ohno, the wardroom boys
who Daniels charged were assaulted by
Healy, followed the lieutenant, but failed
to corroborate his testimony. Each stated
that he had received but kindness from
the captain Of the Bear. Just before SUNNI
left the stand, in response to a question as
to the inducements that might have been
offered him to testify. he stated that Lieut..
Daniels had promised that in case he APP
peared In court and gave his testimony he
would see that he was made cabin boy by
the new captain of. the Bear. There Was
an awkward pause here, which was made
more noticeable by long consultation be-
tween the attorneys for the accused, after
which the witness was excused. Other
officers testified that Healy was not drunk,
as charged.

NOT CONTENT WITH FARMING
Farmer Morton Still Makes IncursIons
Into Realms Financial

Washington, Dec. 3.-Secretary Morton
is very much interested in the success
of the movement inaugurated by a pre-
liminary meeting of the representatives
of some of the commercial organizations
of the country at Indianapolis on Tues
day. to secure general convention of
the representatives of commercial, bank
ing and business associations for the pur
pose Of framing a practical scheme of
currency reform to be urged on congress.
He has long been Of the opinion that if
the business interests Of the country
would formulate their demands as to
remedial financial legislation and were
a unit in it's support, they could bring
enough pressure to bear on congress TO
compel action in the line of their wishes.
Almost year ago Secretary Morton
made this suggestion in a speech before
the New York board of trade and trans
portation. On that occasion he said:
"Why cannot the New York board of
trade and chamber of commerce formu-
late such legislation; have it approved
by all the commercial organizations of
the United States and by petition present
ii to congress and demand it's enact
ment? Why should wage earners. bank
ers. traders, merchants, manufacturers.
and railroad men who use vast sums OF
currency in their practical every day af-
fairs. leave the finances of the country
10 be settled by mere politicians. theo-
rists and vagarists. whose exchanges con
sist in transferring public offices from
one set of place-hunters to another set?
Why leave all at this critical and cruel
cal period wherein the integrity. the hon
or and the glory of our common coun-
try are imperiled, to the advocates of
a financial scheme that would dishonest
~ pay those whom We honestly owe?
Did not that class enact the Bland-Al-
lison law of February %. 1S7S?''
The Indianapolis preliminary conven-
ton at which the boards Of trade Of but
a few cities in the middle west were rep
resented. he believes, is in line with his
suggestion, and will be eagerly taken up
by the business and commercial bodies
of the country. II they can agree upon
a comprehensive plan of reform he is
confident that congress will accept and
enact II irr0 Law
