RoENTGEN RAYS
Nicola Tesla Gives Results Of Els In.
vestigations

NEW YORK. May SIT has been
known for some time that Nicola Tesla
has been making exhaustive investiga-
tions concerning Roentgen rays, not
alone for their use in scientific demon
stration, but also for their effects upon
the human system. Tesla has now CIV
en- voice to his deductions, SO far as he
has determined them, in a long state
ment Of his experience with the rays in
the current Electrical Review, and in
the course of 1t he makes some an
rouncemerts certain to create wide dis
cussions and comment in the scientific
world. Summing up his experiments.
Mr.. Tesla says:
1T would seem advisable, first, to
abandon the use Of bulbs containing
platinum; second,to substitute for them
properly constructed Lanard tubes
containing pure aluminium only, tube
Of this kind having, besides. the ad-
vantage that 1t is constructed with
great mechanical precision, and there
fore is capable of producing nue.,
sharper impressions; third, to use a
protective screen of aluminium sheet, or
instead of this wet cloth or layer OF
fluid; fourth, to make exposures at a
distance of at least fourteen inches and
preferably to expose longer at greater
distance"

HOPE FOR HIDES
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Western
members of the house are preparing to
make a strong stand for the retention
Of the duty on hides in the tariff bill if
that feature is adopted in the senate.
There was a strong sentiment in favor OF
protection for hides in the house when
the bill was before that body, but no OPP
portunity was given the house to vote
on that question, vote being permit
ted on those amendments only which
were proposed by the ways and means
committee. In the committee itself
proposition was made to put duty on
hides when the Dingley bill was in prep
aratien, and the proposal failed by a
majority of only two votes. With such
a narrow margin against the duty on
hides in the committee, the western men
feel confident that they can carry their
point if the question comes to vote
in the house, particularly as they are
assured of the cooperation Of some DEM
OcratS.

MRS. CRAVEN'S DEEDS
Evidence Is Offered to Prove Them
Forgeries

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-When
the suit of the Fair heirs and the execu-
tors against Mrs. Nettie Craven was
resumed today the plaintiff presented
the most important stage of the case.
the direct proof of the forgery of the
Craven deeds and certificates of ac-
acknowledgement attached thereto, in the
papers and exhibits used in the prelim-
mary examination of ex-Notary Coon
ey, charged with perjury in having, as
alleged, signed a certificate to a false
acknowledgment of Fairs signature to
the deeds.
w. E. Sanford. an employee of the
Crocker Printing company, testified to
the execution of an order for II, ,0CO legal
blanks of the precise description used
by Cooney in his acknowledgment of
the Craven deeds. These blanks were
not executed until January, 1896, six
teen months after the supposed execu-
tion and acknowledgment of the deeds
The cross-examination of this witness
failed to shake his testimnoy.

HALE AND N0RCROsS
FURNISHES A BASIS FOR MORE
LITIGATION
Well Known Mining Men Charged
With Forgery and the Issuing
of Fraudulent Stock

SAN FRANCISCO. May 5.-Informa-
ton of a sensational character, charging
several well-known mining men connect
ed with the Hale and Norcross litigation
with forgery, has been lodged with Dis
trict Attorney Barnes by Attorney Bag
gett and w. NJ. Fox. with the view, 1t is
said, to the issuance of warrants for the
arrest of those accused. The specific
charges are the alleged forging of the
seal of the Hale and Norcross Silver
Mining company and the issuance of
fraudulent certificates of stock of the
company by parties complained against
The trouble had its origin in the diff
ferences that have existed between the
stockholders of the company for some
time past The suit of NJ. w. Fox against
Alvinza Hayward, Hobart and others of
the company, which resulted in judg-
ment of nearly $1.000.000 is directly re-
sponsible for the bitter antagonism that
has been displayed among those inter-
ested in the company's affairs. Hayward
sought to retain control Of the mine by
the election of his agents to the board
of directors, but Fox was on hand con-
ually, determined to Illustrate his de-
signs.
| Grayson and his friends recently held
a meeting of their own and elected a
board of directors.
The Grayson board at once organized
for business. and the necessary GER
tificates of election were made out and
sent to Nevada to be filed. AS these
certificates required to be stamped with
the official seal Of the company, which
was in the possession of Secretary Col
Inns and therefore unobtainable, fac
simile was made and the documents duly
stamped. This, according to Attorney
Baggett, who represents President Fox,
constituted a felony under the provis-
ions of section 470 of the criminal code,
which declares that the making of a
seal of an Incorporation by Unauthorized
persons constitutes forgery.

pie time for their preparatory work and
will gradually learn the style of French

from that here. Their first matches will
be with the middle -class riders and as
the season advances they will try higher
game. Both Of them have earned reputa-
tions here as sprinters, and their work
abroad will be watched with interest.

BUTLER'S ATTORNEY
Still Hopes to Receive a Nice, Fat
Juicy Fee

SAN FRANCISCO. May 5.-Attorney
A. L. Black, who defended Frank But
ler, the Australian murderer, expects to
receive today or tomorrow $1400 and a
title to 160 acres of land in Manitoba az
his fee for acting as Buffers attorney.
Mr. Black is as confident as he can be
that he will receive the money, as he
says that, while Butler proved himself
to be the biggest liar he ever knew,
the multi-murderer never once made a
statement to him that he ever learned
to be false. For this reason some things
Butler told his attorney may be OF i'm
portance in the history of the murderer's
life.
The stories related by Butler to Mr..
Black were not told him as an attorney,
and Butler said he did not care what
Mr.. Black made public of his statements
as soon as he got out Of the country, as
he never expected to reach Australia
alive. Mr.. Black is very much surprised
that Butler was carried to Sydney safe
ly. He said, in discussing the history
and acts of Butler, that Butler, Ache or
whatever you might call him, made some
statements that are virtually confess
sion of many Of his crimes. Though he
would not go so far as to say directly
that he killed any one man, he practi-
cally confessed to more than a dozen
murders, some of which have never been
charged to him. The great criminals
real name is John Newman. He was
born in West Bromwich, Staffordshire,
England, and is 3S years old.
The extradition of Butler cost the
England Government nearly $4,000, it is
said. Outside of the fee of Cormack and
Donohue. the attorneys, 1t was at least
$4,000, as every item of expense for keep
ing Butler at the county Jail and the city
prison had to be paid. The American
Government or the city of San Francisco
was at no expense. For awhile there
were six keepers hired to watch Butler
at IS day.
