CALLENDINE TRIAL.
Hatch Testifies, and 1t is Continued
Till rionday.

The Callendine trial occupied the fore
neon in Judge Hinkson's court yester-
day, and after Melvin Hatch had testi-
journment was taken till Monday.
Hatch testified that he met Callen-
dine in Washington about four months
before the robbery, and Callendine
wanted him to take hand in it, and
told him how it was to be done. He
met Callendine a number of times af-
terWard, and each time was urged to
go in. Callendine said he had a horse
and cart that he could use and get back
would take a rifle and some pistols to
use in case Of emergency. He men
toned both Baker and Townsend as
being in it. Witness afterward met
Callendine and Townsend, and they
asked him to join them.
Baker was with Callendine one time
when he spoke to witness in relation to
the matter. On one occasion Baker
pulled a pistol out of his pocket and
said he was fixed for the job On an
other occasion, when Callendine had
walked away from them, Baker said
they had better keep away from Cal
lendine, and have nothing to do with
the job. If he testified at the prelimin-
ary examination that Baker did not
talk to him about the robbery, he made
mistake. The statement made by him
tc Mr.. Hall was also incorrect in some
particulars, when he came to think it

The following dispatch was received
among the telegra phic news last night
ALMA CNeb.), May 23.-Three tramps
attempted to break into T. NJ. Willet' s
store early this morning, but while at
tempting to raise a window they awoke
Ralph Mock, a clerk, who sleeps in the
store, and he fired through the window
and hit one of them, who fell, but was
carried away by his pals. He was
found on the sidewalk about a quarter
Of a mile south of the store, and gave
his name as Dan Hardy. He says his
relatives live in Sacramento, California
He will die, as he is shot through the
intestines. The others escaped.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
Inflated youth was the son of J. H.
Hardy, who is employed by the Sulli-
van-Kelly Company, and that he had
been led astray and had become rather
wild. Mr.. and Mrs. Hardy are most es-
Unable people, and are members of

MODERATED Ills JUDGMENT.
Judge HinkSon RENTS a Portion Of the
Fines.
District Attorney Ryan Will Have
to Pay Only Thirty Dollars
of Them.

After Judge Hinkson's court was
opened yesterday morning District At
torney Ryan addressed the Judge re-
ferring to the fines imposed on him
for contempt, and said that on advice OF
a fellow member of the bar he had re-
solved to speak in relation to the mat
ter.
He had given considerable thought as
to his duty in the matter, as he held
high and responsible position in the coun-
ty government. He respected the law and
always had, and in what he had said,
which had occasioned the fines, he had
meant no offense. He felt the fines to
be excessive, but the court had absolute
power to impose them, and if it in
sisted on his paying them he should
have to bow to its will
He felt that the court misinterpreted
the meaning of the remarks made by
him, and assured his honor that no Of
feEse was intended. He acknowledged
himself in error in refusing to go on
with the prosecution, because in so re-
fusing he could not have performed the
duties of his Office.
Callendine's attorney, A. L. Hart,
|spoke in behalf of Mr.. Ryan, saying that
he could see the necessity of imposing
the fines, but all are human, and they
were imposed at a time when Mr.. Ryan
was labOring under strong excitement,
and the expression used by him was
hasty one, and he was sure that no Of
Tense was meant.
Judge HinksOn said that on thinking
over the matter he was convinced that
Mr.. Ryan had not intended any diSre-
spect, and had spoke under excite
ment. Mr.. Ryan had always been
faithful in the performance of his
duty as an officer and courteous to the
court His language at that time was
not proper and could not be tolerated,
but as he was excited when he spoke,
the judgment would be moderated.
He would therefore instruct the Clerk
to reduce the first fine from $50 to $40,
and the second from S1DO to SO

STIPULATION FILED.
Tully De Long Will Accept $1,000
From the State.

Tully P. De Long has, through White.
Hughes & Seymour, his attorneys. filed
a stipulation waiving all excess of dam
ages over $1,000 in his suit against the
State, and consenting to a reduction of
the Judgment in the case to that
amount.
The suit was brought against the
State for damages alleged to have been
sustained by plaintiff through the col
lapse of stand at Agricultural Park
some years ago, but the court held that
the damages awarded by the jury were
excessive, and made an order granting
new trial, unless plaintiff consented
to file in the action waiver of all dam
ages in excess of $1,000.

FILED AN ANSWER,
The WindmuIIers Deny That They
Were in a Conspiracy.

L. d. and H. .Windmuller through Dri-

know existed when Carl and Wilhelmina
gave him deed of the property, they
having told him the property was clear
Of all incumbrance except his own mort
gage.
They claim that the property is worth
$4,000, and THAI Joerger had knowl-
edge of that fact and of their mortgage,
and that the property was amply worth
the amount of both mortgages.

ENGLAND SHORT or SAILORS.
In Case of War Two Hundred ships Could
Not Be Manned.

| In Case of War Two Hundred Ships CCuio
| Not Be Manned.
Look at the plain facts of the case.
| Parliament provides for about $1,000
| seamen and petty officers, excluding
| officers, boys and marines. Now 1T Is
calculated that if we commissioned al
our existing battleships we should alb
| sorb the whole of these $4,000 men ex-
| cept 10000. That is, we should have
| $4,000 men to man over 800 cruisers,
| gunboats, torpedo-destroyers and all
| the other craft on which we have spent
| so much money in building. But the
| cruisers take qste as many men as
the battleships and are quite as impor-
| tant. The idea of $4,000 men to man
them alone is utterly ridiculous. We
might, with the aid of the reserve, just
| manage to man some 80 of them and
about 10 gunboats and torpedo de-
stroyers. That done, we should have
the pleasure of seeing some 200 vessels
lying idle and useless in our ports,
monuments of our futility and wart
of common sense. This is what would
happen as things are now. If we add
half dozen more battleships and ten
more cruisers, and 30 or 40 more small
or craft, without adding more men.
we shall simply be increasing the
block of useless ships in our dock
yards should war be declared.
That this is no wild or sensational
talk may be shown by reference to IL
single fact. When our fleet was mo.
bilized last year, our harbors were full
of ships that might have gone to sea.
but could not, because there Were nn
men to put on them. Practically We
had used up all our men, and still hN,l
dozens of good ships left over = OF
ships, that is, good for service in every
way, and not mere survivals from early
days. But even this does not disclose
the whole weakness of our navy in the
matter of men. Even if we had enogh
men to man all our ships, and we put
them on the sea in case of war, we
should not be in proper position, be.
cause we should have no reserve. Con-
s;dering the loss of men, not only in
action, but by disease and ordinary
causes, you must, unless your war is
going to be merely a siX-weeks' picnic,
look forward to your crews gradually
shrinking and wasting away. But that
shrinking means the need for renewal.
and the need for renewal means force
from which renewal can take place.
In other words, reserve for filling
up the gaps is absolutely necessary,
and that reserve must be of large di-
mansions. 1t is no good as at present
TO have a few thousand men called the
reserve which are not reserve, for the
very good reason that we would have,
war was declared, to be called
up and used in the first fighting line.
y reserve is a reservoir on which you
can draw when your first can gets
empty, not merely little extra buck
ut which has to be used to fill up the
can directly you need it. What IS
wanted is to give the admiralty a cali
upon at least $4,000 or 10000 Sailors
