Not Guilty of Contempt
for Refusing to
Answer.
Justice Bradley Of the District
Supreme Court Grants
Motion to Dismiss.
Now There Is Talk Of ResuminR the
Investigation of the Senate
Sugar Scandal.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 27.-Justice
Bradley in the District Supreme Co urt to-
day dismissed the indictment against
Henry o Havemeyer of the American
Sugar Refining Company, charged with
contempt of court for refusal to give in
formation to the Senate committee in
vestigating the sugar scandal.
When the proceedings opened District
Attorney Davis began to reply to the
motion made yesterday made by Johnson
for the defense that the court instruct the
Jury 10 return verdict for the defense.
Davis dealt first with the second point
made by the defense that it was not the
duty of Havemeyer to examine the books
of the company to procure data for the
committee. He held that as Havemeyer
did object before the com mittee to get the
data required he should not now be basing
his refusal to answer on the allegation
that it was not his duty to get such data.
Davis then took up the fourth point of

SEELEF DINERS RELIEVED.
The District attorney Has Decided Not
to Prosecute Them.

Ihe District attorney Has Dectded NOT
to Prosecute Them.
NEW YORK, N. Y, May 2L-The swell
society people of this city are greatly
pleased with the news which became
known to-day that people who attended
the notorious Seeley dinner will not be
brought to trial. District Attorney Oh
colt, who has charge of the affair, was
seen to-day and asked his reasons for not
conducting the prosecution with the vigor
that it should be carried on with.
Olcott at first was very taciturn, and
said he did not care to discuss the matter.
When pressed he finally consented to
make a statement. He said he had defn-
itely decided not to proceed with the trial
al all. His reasons for this aclion-or,
rather, inaction-were that the trial would
create a wave of immoralitv.
In the opinion OF many Olcott has other
reasons for not wishing to bring the mat
ter 10 trial. His statement about wave
of immortality being created is regarded
as being an absurd one. 1t is said that
very strong pressure has been brought TO
bear on him to drop the case, and he has
yielded to it.
Meanwhile, Little Egypt" the girl who
gave the indecent dance al the dinner. is
travelling over the country repeating the
performance to many different audiences
at so much per head.

One Section Of the SUM-
dry Civil Bill Warmly
Debated.
Stewart Says the Setting Aside
of So Much Forest Is Folly
and BarbariSm.
But the Conference Report Is
Finally Adopted by the
Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2z-In the
Senate to-day the reading of the journal
of yesterday was dispensed with. the
usual routine morning business sus-
pended, and in accordance with the agree
ment of yesterday the conference report on
the sundry civil appropriations bill was
taken UP, so the discussion on the forest
reservation amendment might be con-
cluded.
The Utah Senators argued against the
report, Cannon saying the opponents OF
the forest reservation should insist on the
original proposition which was an 'aoso-
lutte revocation OF the order"
Stewart declared passionatelv that the
setting apart of 21,000.0O0 acres OF
forest reservation was dedication to
folly and bar barism" that the bureau
which advised it ought to be abolished,
and that the act itself was 1.-THE most bar
barous outrage perpetrated In the last
half of the century"
Allison appealed to the Senate to agree
to the conference report saying it was
within the power OF the two houses to re-
woke absolutely by legislative enactment
before March Cleveland's order. The
conference report onIy suspended 1t till
March next.
Pettlgrew thought the forest reservation
good thing, but did not believe that
cities, railroads. mills. mines, farmhouses
and barns should be embraced within it.
He said in South DAKOTA the area set
apart as a forest reservation contained
Is postoffices, Is. 900 people and so miles
of railroads. He declared he would con-
slider himself unfaithful to his people il he
did not insist upon the absolute revoca-
ton of the order. The vote resulted in

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 27.-For-
mer Senator Call has joined the ranks OF

and General Dimond. She insists,
through her attorney, Frank Freeman,
that the policy for $l00 900 was absolutely
assigned to her, in spite OF his revocation
of the same afterward, and that the com
pany should now pay her that sum. On
the other hand, Horace q. PIatt, repre-
senting the Dimond estate, CONTENDS tnat
the assignment was not absolute, ana
that the subsequent revocation was legal.
In the Federal court a few days ago Mrs.
AbelI was not allowed 10 testify because
General DImond was dead, but her
brother.in-law, Geor S. Knowles, was
permitted to testify that General Dimond
acknowledged the marriage engagement

Horace G. Platt was called as witness
TO identity the signature OF General d.

Yesterday Mrs. Abel was seen by a
carr. renorter at the Hotel Alex indria,
and she EXPRESSED a determination to as
seft her rights in court. She said that she
greatly di~liked the notoriety which the
litigation had caused, but that she was In

be convinced that an effort had been
made to deprive her OF her rights
When asked concerning the date OF her
engagement to marry General D.mond
not 10 discuss the subject at present. Mr..
Freeman said it was already in evidence
before the Superior Court that marriage
engagement existed between Mrs. Abel
and General d mond.
Mrs. Abel would have kindly explained
why the general postponed the marriage,
but her counsel objected. As there were
two lawyers and only one reporter pres
ent the lady permitted numbers rather
than right to prevail.
1t was asserted in the general converse
lion that am pie proof would be presented

gagemen,. At the proper time eny num-
Der OF sweet and tender letters would be

Mr. Freeman was asked the direct ques-
ton if u written marriage contract existed,
but declined to commit himself on this
point. He said: 1T is not yet time to
speak on this question, and 1 cannot
answer your inquiry. We have still nifty

action to contest the will OF General

THE COLONIAL DANES.
Restoring a Knickerbocfser Mansion t
Its Oyi0tnaI Bean,Y.

Restoring Knickerbocter Mansion to
Its Original Beauty.
NEW YORK, n. Y. May 27.-Members
OF the Society of Colonial Danes are m UGH
in evidence this afternoon at the opening
of the Van Cortlandt mansion in Van
Cortlandt park, one OF the most distin-
guisned homes of the old Dutch period.
The society has had in charge the work
of restoring the mansion to something of
its pristine beauty. Wherever there has
been decay or wear new pieces have been
substituted, care being taken that the
supplied portions should preserve the
antique appearance of the old.
OLD metal-work has been freed from
paint and varnish and FURNISHED until it
shines just as in the famous Knicker booker
days.
The formal opening was fixed for this
afternoon from the fact that this is the
TWO hundred and fftieth anniversary of
the landing of Governor Petrus Stuy-
yesant. The Colonial Danes are employ
ing the mansion to a certain extent as a
museum illustrative of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries, while the
grounds about the buildings have been
put into beautiful order by the Depart
ment of Parks.

A GREAT DAY For PORTER.
RsceiYed With Stately Demons tratio1 by
the Pres dent of France and Presents
HIS Credentials.


PARIS, FRANCE, May 27.-Horace Por-
ter, the new American ambassador
presented his credentials to President
Faure yesterday.
Porter, escorted by a squadron of cuiras-
siers, drove in a gala carriage from the
EN- bassy to the Eysee.
AS he entered the courtyard of the pal
ace a band stationed there played Hail
Column bia." The guard of honor was pres
emit. The palace commandant received
the En- bassador at the entrance ana con-
Quoted him to the salon door, where he
was received by the President and pre-
sented his credentials.
Hanotaux, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and officers of the Presidents househol
were present. President Faure and Porter
conversed little while after the formali-
ties OF the occasion were observed.
In presenting his credentials Embas-
sador Porter referred to the bonds of SYM
pathy between The United States and
France, which, he said, resulted from
both countries having similar govern
menis, from their common attachment to
liberal institutions and from their alli-
ance at the birth OF the American Repub-
lie. These had created imperis able ties
OF friendship.
President Faure replied in a similar
vein, saying that with the common idea
OF democratic social progress the two
countries would always find footing for
friendly agreement.

The Arizona Cutthroat
Is Taken off His
Guard.
Captured by a Storekeeper
With the Aid of Ten
Navajos.
Had Two Good Stolen Horses and
Plenty Of Provisions and
Ammu nition.

FLAGSTAFF, ARIz., May 2z-Jim Par
ker, train -.re pber. murderer and Jail
breaker. is safe in steel cell of the Jail at
Flagstaff. He was brought in at o'clock
this evening by s. g. Preston, who runs a
trading-post at Willow Springs, ninety
miles northeast of Flagstaff.
Tuesday morning Parker ate breakfast
with Preston and then took the trail
northward. Parker told Preston he was
trailing stolen horses. Preston suspected
his visitor, and went twelve miles east to
Yuba CITY, where he secured description
of the fug tive. Preston sent an Indian
courier into Flagstaff with the news, and
then set out after Parker with posse Of
ten Navajo trailers. They came up with
the fugitive after dark and surrounded
his camp while he slept.
At day break a gun was fired to waken
Parker, who started up with his Win
chester ready to FIRE. Preston told him 10
drop his gun. Parker took in the situa-
ton very quickly. He hesitated but an
instant then lowered his rife and let the
Indians come up and lash him securely,
while Preston kept him covered with a
gun that almost touched his forehead.
Parker was then tieo on horse and the
party set out for Flagstaff. About noon
they were met by Sheriff Ruffner and his
posse.
Parker had two good horses and plenty
of provisions and ammunition. The
horses belong to parties living near Will
liams. Parker was on his way to Lees
ferry, and if he had crossed the river in
safety he would have been practically be-
yond pursuit. Parker was tagged out
when he reached Flagstaff, and seemed
respondent. The vSeious rewards offered
for his ca pture amount to $4,000, and these
will be claimed by Preston.
An extra guard has been placed upon
him in Jail. and he is not likely to escape
again. 1t is thought he will be kept here
until tried, as the authorities fear mob
law at Prescott

ATTORNEY FRANK FREEMAN.

the defense, and attempted to show that
contributions to the local cam paign fund
had an important bearing on the matter
being investigated by the committee. AS
to the fifth point he held that the defend
ant should have inquired had he any
doubt that the question was one OF the
committee and not Of an individual men,
Der. Davis then reverted to the first point
that the Senate had no right to inquire as
to contributions made to State and local
campaign committees and made lengthy
argument to prove the Senate's power re-
garding matter which he declared
serious enough to cause Senator to lose
his seat if proven.
Johnson, for the defense, said the ques-
ton which the committee had to deal
with was not whether the sugar trust con-
tributed to local or National committees,
but whether any Senator had been in
auenced in voting on the sugar schedule
by the use of money. Johnson could not
concede that because Havemeyer did not
decline to produce data from the books on
the first day, he was barred from so de-
Ginning on the second day. II say to the
head men behind the prosecution that if
1t was the duty of the witness he might
be punished for refusing to answer. Even
a rattlesnake gives warming before strik-
ing" Johnson did not say to whom he
referred.
At the conclusion Of JohEson's argument
Justice Bradley ordered recess, 20 pre-
pare his ruling on the motion. Bradley
opened by saying that the questions were
worthy OF great deliberation, especially
that relating to the power OF the Senate in
regard to the resolution directing the in
vestigation. These grave questions he
had not time to study. But he was pre-
pared to rule on the motion on other
grounds. He then reviewed the proceed
ings Of the Senate and committee.
"Does The testimony show defendant re-
calcitrant?" he asked. TINS depends on
two questions: Was the subject matter
pertinent and within the jurisdiction of
Congress, and did the defendant refuse to
furnish the information called for? A
negative answer to either OF the interroga-
tories would make it necessary for me to
grant the motion"
| The Justice said that Havemeyer was
not asked to produce the books, but data
from the books regarding contributions to
| the State and local campaign funds, and
made the point that Havemeyer was not
asked to produce the books. but to testify
to the best of his memory. He continued: :
Personal knowledge and evidence are all
that was required OF the witness. The
ale alton of the indictment Is that the
witness refused 10 answer 1t, but he pre-
viously testified that he had no recollec-
ton of the amounts contributed. On all
these grounds it would appear to me that
no court would hold the witness guilty of
contempt. If the defendant was not
guilty of contempt then it is baseless TO
ask whether the Senate had jurisdiction.
l must grant the motion for the defense
and order the jury to return verdict of
acquittal."

ThemseGres.
MIDLAND, MICH, May 27.-The citi-
Zens of this quiet town were greatly hor-
rfied to-day to find two dead men in the
blacksmith shop of George Laird. At first
the story got around that a double murde r
had been com mitted. The men who first
found the bodies did not attempt to iden-
tify them, but rushed off in hot haste TO
find the constabIes. He told some people
on the way about the discovery and when
the peace officers arrived big crowd had
collec ed around the outer door of the
shop. The bodies were lying in an OBJ
scure corner and when they were turned
over it was found that they were the re-
mains of George Laird and James Tim
mons. Laird was the owner of the shop.
1t appears that the two men had been on
the wi dest kind of revel ever since Mon
day. They had drunk vast quantities of
whisky and when they tired of that they
took some morphine. 1t was this drug
which caused their death.
Tlmmons was not married man, but
Laird lett widow and child.
