THE HUDELsON LIBEL.
ID. B. Woodwork Explains All About
the Valentine Mine in PIumas
Comfy.


The hearing of the libel suit against
Benjamin F. Hudelson was continued in
Judge CampbelPs court yesterday after
noon. The courtroom was crowded.
D. B. Woodwork, the com planning wit
ness, asked that his son, Tod Woodworth'
be permitted to give his evidence as to the
mine to show that it was not myth and
the request was granted.
Tod Woodwork, who was % years of
age last June, testified that he was an
assayer. at the request of his father he
made an examination of the Valentine
mine in Plumas County in November,
1895. and made report of the same. The
mine is free milling quartz and the
assays showed about Sc to the ton. His
father had an option on the mine, tn 10
price being $780, 600.
ID. B. Woodwork, before his cross
examination was continued, asked per-
mission to make statement in regard to
the General Gates alleged blackmail.
He read an agreement which showed that
Gates had one-third interest In a mine
and had paid the money to him legit-
imately. Then he entered into a long
explanation as to his career in the Cana
dian Parliament.
In his Cross discrimination he denied that
he was arrested in this City on boat by a
constable from Piumas County for sbeat-
ing" his landlady, and did not register on
the boat as General Gates.
Instead of answering questions directly
he entered into long explanation as to
the offer to sell the mine to John d.
Spreckels the understanding as given TO
him by Owens being that If an expert to
be sent to the mine by Mr.. Spreckels re-
ported favorably the deal would be con-
summated, the price being 5000, Owens
to get $4,000 more as commission. On
April 10, when he, Rev. d. M. Ross and
Owens went to Mr.. Spreckes office,
Owens got the papers from him at Rev. d.
M. Ross suggestion, and disappeared with
them.
They waited for two or three hours but
did not see Mr.. Spreckels. lie went back
and saw Mr.. Kyle, who told him Mr..
Spreckels had not been in the building
that afternoon. He denied that Kyle de-
nounced the mining scheme as blackmail.
He denied that he asked Hudelson at any
time 10 help him to get Mr.. Spreckels to
purchase the mine, and if he did so that
h. +. Marshall would make an affidavit
that his previous affidavit was false. He
admitted going to THE CALL business OF
fee on the night of April IA to see Mr.
Shortridge, but was unable to do SO.
The defendant Hudelson testified that
he first met Woodwork In Deem Der,
1895, Rev. d. M. Ross introducing them.
He did not see him again till either
March 30 or 81, and he was accompanied
by Ross. M. I. Brewer was present ano
the talk turned upon Marshall, Brewer
denouncing him as rascal for trying to
make trouble between him and Hudelson.
That afternoon Woodwork and Ross saw
defendant again at his Office, and after
some conversation about Marshall, either
Ross or Woodworth mentioned mining
project, and it was the first time defendant
knew that Woodwork was interested in
mines.
At this point the case was continued till
this afternoon.

What Secretary Friedlander
Has to Say About Atkin.
sons Case.
The Br oker Attempts New Definition
of What Constitutes
Bucket-Shop.

cit is absurd to say that Thomas T..
Atkinson is not conducting bucket
shop" said Secretary Friedlander of the
Produce Exchange yesterday. Nobody
will say so, l guess, but himself or the
parties interested with him. There are
no other members of the exchange sus-
pected Of being engaged in that business;
the roll of mem bership is clear. No Pro-
duce Exchange anywhere tolerates such
concerns. What is bucket-sbop? Sim
ply a concern that trades in the huctua-
tions of contracts rather than on wheat or
other commodities. They do not contem-
plate the delivery OF goods at any slime.
1t is distinctly stated in their contracts
that delivery is intended, but that is only
blind in order to get around the law.
They do not intend it. There were two
other concerns who were notified at the
same time as Atkinson. but they had
sense enough to accept the situation and
acknowledge the corn. They told US not
to suspend them and they would get out.
We said All right They disposed OF
their seats and that was the end OF 1t.
Atkinson, however, made fuss and
wanted to draw fine lines between oper-
atlng shop and taking orders for shop,
for he is agent for the concern. Every
exchange in the country gets rid OF these
people as fast as they appear in the mem
bership. This board has simply followed
the general law, which is also, OF course,
a law OF this exchange"
Thomas I. Atkinson, speaking further
IN his own defense, said yesterday that be
objected to the term .'bucket-shopD be-
ing applied to the business OF Wheeiock d
Co., which firm he represents at 623 Mar
ket street. He said that the comments
made in The CALL OF Sunday last were not
correct, although so intended, that
bucket-shops in general and in the abb
stract are fraudulent schemes to trap the
unwary and that such game is played in
two or more ways-viz.: that the confid-
Ing subscriber should be induced to de-
post some very considerable sum on rep
reservations of large profits or that a
similarly constructed victim should take
stock IN firm" promising still greater
profits to be derived from the business
thereof, with the certain resu!t-total loss
or bust up, ana on the latter point there
was and still is 'one' such firm deservedly
denied the privileges of the United States
mall and all correspondence to or from it
| Is marked fraudulent and returned.
"Wheelock & Co., at their main and
branch Offices" he said, receive constant
and bona-fide reports OF actual market
conditions, and so daily make press re-
ports, and while under due restric-
tons they allow .heir clients to
buy or to sell grain or stocks at latest

ST. IGNATIUS WINS.
Sacred Heart College Defeated at Foot
ball Yesterday Afternoon, Eight
to Nothing.

st. Ignatius College outplayed Sacred
Heart College at football Tuesday after
noon on the Central Park gridiron field.
The score was to o.
In team work, in knowledge of the
game, in line-bucking tactics and in their
ability to handle the ball without costly
fumbles, the men who wore one black and
one yellow stocking were evidently supe-
rior to, as they were heavier than, their
opponents with the red and yellow striped
stockings, and that is why they were
victorious.
The playing at times was ragged, and
particularly when the Sacred Heart eleven,
after gathering IN St. Ignatlus' opening
kickoff tried TO work the ball back to the
ce inter- of the field. Quarterback Sapontes
o f Sacred Heart failed repeatedly, partly
through his own fault aud partly through
the ciumsiness of his halfbacks. to get the
ball quickly and cleanly into the runner
hands, and every time the pass was poor
there was a bad tumble and loss of
ground. The backs did not work together
sharply and accurately. Sacred Heart
paid the penalty. st. Ignatius finally
forced her back still further and COM
PEELED her 10 make a safety touchdown
behind her own goal posts.
After that, however, the Sacred Heart
eleven pulled together somewhat and did
less fumbling, though the men were pow
erless to prevent repeated gains through
their tackles by quick bucks on the part
OF both halves and the right guard of the
ST. 1gnatius team, who steadily worked
the pail back from near center to touch
down that resulted in an easy goal.
Then did the st. Ignatius rooters in the
grand stand begin their jubilant-
Are we in it?
l should smilel
In it, in it
All the while.
In the second half St. Ignatius was not
able to score again, although she kept the
ball in her opponents side of the field and
at one time advanced to the six-yard line
after futile but advantageous try for a
field goal by Tiernan from the thirty five
yard line. After several exchanges the
ball rested on the eight-yard line when
time was called.
Very little kicking was attempted dur
ing the game and nearly all of the half
dozen punts were made by Sacred Heart
The playing. while not brilliant, was cred
itably sportsmanlike, free from inten-
tional roughness and from injuries to the
participants.
Following are the players as they faced
each other, showing the stripped weight
of each man, and also other summaries OF
the game:

NORTH CAROLINA FLOAT
MAJOR RANDOLPH EXPLAINS
WHY NOT IN PARADE.
A Prominent Veteran Pitches Into the
the Virginia Major With Gloves
Off--Thinks His Argument
Is Without Reason.

The North Carolinians when they
returned from Richmond severely
criticised the management for not al
lowing the float, prepared at the direc-
ton of Col. Julian S. Carr, to go in
the procession.
A prominent Raleigh veteran was
Yesterday shown the Dispatch inter-
view with Major Randolph. He said:
Major Randolph with this rot sand
clap-trap may believe that he can fool
some people into believing that there
was no dissatisfaction expressed in re-
gard to float, but l for one do not be-
lieve that any man who was present,
in his right. >mind, in Richmond could
have failed to hear the regret express
ed by North Carolinians or failed to
see the disappointment which was on
every brow.
s'There seems to have been no man
in Virginia or any other confederate
State, with patriotism enough to erect
a float to do honor to the dead of his
State Perhaps it was because none
felt that his State could make a show
ing equal to old North Carolina and at
that | am not surprised.
"Col. Carr has more patriotism and
love for the Tar Heel State and its
Confederate dead than ten narrow,
Jealous and unthoughtful men as Maj.
Randolph has appeared to be in this
and oth& interviews"
The following we clip from the Dis
patch: :,
"Maior n. V. Randolph, who had
charge of the great column on Thurs
day, was seen yesterday by Dispatch
reporter in regard to the above, and
said:
.sThe North Carolina float was ruled
out of the procession for two reasons:
First, it was veteran and military
parade. and no floats of any kind were
allowed in line. Before this decision
was rendered, however, the entire cor
respondence in regard to the North
Carolina float was submitted to Cen
eral w. T.. DeRossett, commanding the
division of that State, and he positive
w refused to allow it in line. The
float was not at all appropriate to the
occasion, as its appearance was declo-
ealy funeral. We were under the I'M
nression that the occasion was giofi-
fication of the Confederate veterans.
There was no necessity for Governor
Carr or any one else to have gone TO
the expense of preparing fioat oeIofe
he had permission to have it IN hne;
Certainly, no dissatisfaction was heard :!
from the North Carolinians present IN
the parade. The Virginia veterans are
nroud of the record OF their North
Carolina brothers, and have always
meted to them full praise for the num-
her os men furnished and their gal
lantry on the field OF battle"
