TESTIMONY WAS PERJURED
Signed Statement Made by Scott
Jackson, one of Pearl Bryan's
Murderers.

Cincinnati, Feb. 27.-The Enquirer
has the following signed statement OF
Scott Jackson. condemned to death for
the murder of Pearl Bryan:
The trial was managed by Prose
cutor Nelson, who conferred with Chief
of Police Deitsch and Detectives Grim
and McDermott as to the testimony TO
be offered. l could face my God and
say that that testimony was perjured.
1t showed upon its face that it was.
and no hetter instance can be found
than in the positive contradictions by
unorejudiced persons of the state
ments of police officers concerning
George H. Jackson's alleged identifi-
cation of me. The states case was q
manufactured one, without any real
foundation whate.er. Any man of in
telligence who followed the case knows
that / was not given a fair trial.
Facts which should have been a part
of the evidence were suppressed be-
cause they did not agree with the per-
jured statements of policemen. I am
willing that this shall be published over
my signature. 1 may have to die, but
I do not have to fear to speak my
mind honestly. Respectfully.
SCOTT JACKSON"

NEW YORK ATHLETICS.
Annual Meeting of the Intercollegi-
ate Athletic Association.

New York, Feb. 27-The annual
meeting of the collegiate Athletic
association was held this afternoon at
the Fifth Avenue hotel. Professor j.
D. Kirby of Columbia acted as chair
man. The business before the meeting
was light, and as the amendments re-
solved by the outgoing executive COM
mittee were passed without debate, the
proceedings were of short duration. The
election of officers resulted as follows:
President, Oliver Shiras, Cornell; vice
president, c. J. Jellinghaus. Columbia
college, New York; ]. D. Clarke. La
fayette; treasurer, P. c. Martin, Prince
ton; secretary, w. A. Abbott, New
York university.
The executive committee: S. K Gil
rard, Yale; W. H. Fearing, Columbia;
]. D. Widsor, Pennsylvania, and H. w.
Howe, Harvard.
The president is ox-officio member of
the committee.
Pennsylvania offered the use of
Franklin Field for the championships
and the matter was referred to the
executive committee. Harvard, Yale
and Cornell are opposed to the ac
ceptance of the offer, and it is doubt
ful if the meeting will be held in Phil
adelphia.
The applications for admission to
membership from Boston college,
Pennsylvania state college, Harvard
college and Leland Stanford university
We're passed on favorably and these
colleges were admitted to membership.

There is a general impression which

the Short Line and Union Pacific will
maintain a joint ticket Office at the
Nasatch corner.
There is much discussion as to who

Silver Fight Has Only Just Begun
Our Forces Are Being Added to
Every Day, Says Bryan.

New York, Feb. PA complimentary
luncheon was given az the hotel Bar
tholdi today TO William J. Bryan. Ell
lot Danforth. the chairman of tn:
Democratic state committee, presided
and in responding to the address Of
welcome of Mr.. Danforth, Mr.. Bryan
made a speech, encouraging the BIZ
metallists and declaring that the free
silver fight must go on. He said, in
part:
! have never lost an opportunity

I appreciate the work you have done
and the moral courage which il has
required, and when the history of those
years is written. the text man will have
to say that there were heroes in those
days and New York, New England
and the eastern states furnished their
share of those heroes.
i want to say to those who have
fought that the fight is not done

been with US before election day or on
election day, who have come to us
since the election. If your experience
has been the same as mine, you viii

claration that ii would be maintained.
would restore confidence, revive bust
Eess and bring back prosperity. This
hes not been the result
The gold standard Is doing now Just
what it has always done. 1t is helping
those who own money and hurting
those who are producing wealth.
I want to say that the agitation will
go on until every American citizen

then we want them TO vote on it and
settle it. But 1 don't believe any ques-
ton can be settled through money

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Fred Schinneer,
the Bohemian and a resident of this
city, won the six days bicycle race at
Tattersall's. which ended tonight at
1905 o'clock. The final contestants and
the distance they covered were IS fol-
lows:
Schinneer-1,7SS miles. laps.
Miller-1.764 miles, 1 lap
Ashinger-1,727 miles.
Lawson-1.7 .7O7 miles, l lap.
Hanson-1, COS miles, laps.
1liff-461 miles.
There was no exciting finish for the
thousands of people in the sitting
building to go into ecstacies of delight
and make an uproar over. The contest
practically terminated at o'clock to-
night. Miller was then 26 miles be-
hind the winner and Ashinger, the
veteran rider of long distances had So
miles to gain on the second place man.
Miller was physically unequal to the
task of closing the distance gap in
the final hour set for the racers to drop
out. Confident that AShinger could not
get the best of him, Schinneer was
glad of the chance to quit and retain
his grip on the $1,000 purse, and one by
one the half-dozen half-dead racers
dropped from their wheels and sought
their quarters.
For time the mass of spectators had
nothing TO do except listen to the mu-
sic and gaze at the empty track. Feeble
interest was revived by the reappear-
ance of the prize winners, who did a
few sleepy turns, looking more like
men in trance than contesting pro-
fessional athletes. Exhausted in body
and mind the riders quickly sought
their couches. They were rewarded for
their brief return by being made the
recipients of liberal applause and bou-
quets of flowers. Miller and Schinneer,
the two ChicagoanS, made a theatrical
display of their intention to call it a
race by riding around, arm in arm,
and bearing some of their floral trib-
utes. Lawson and Ashinger came out
and did the same act
The next diversion came when the
stairway leading from the bridge over
the track. fell beneath it's load of hu-
man freight. The fall was not enough
to more than bruise those who were
caught, but there was intense excite
ment for few minutes. City building
inspectors and the police found it nee
essary TO clear all dangerous wooden
superstructures. which were of the
fimsiest construction
At 9:45 all the riders reappeared and
added a few laps TO their scores as a
final measure.
AT the time set for the finish, all
lined up in front of Fred Gerlach of the
L. A. W., and received their prizes in
gold from two ladies. All of them had
the appearance of victims of consump-
ton in various stages of the disease,
except that the vitality in their eyes
resembled that of dead fish. They were
pitied as much as appIauded. 1t is
claimed that Schinneer rested 13 hours
out of the 142.

he was constantly under guard of a
Spanish soldier who followed him
everywhere. In every way he was
made to understand that he had better
return home. On the streets he was
insulted openly by the Spanish and he
was unable to transact any business
whatever relative to his plantation
which is now unprotected and liable
to confiscation at any time.
Mr.. Mcdonnell described the cOndi-
ton of affairs in Havana and sur
rounding country as appalling. Des-
titution was everywhere. With Ha-
vana under martial law the Spanish
soldiers were plundering and ravaging
as they pleased. No ones life or prop
erty was safe. Weyler was looked upon
by every one as a tyrant.

Boise, Ida, Feb. 27.-A portion of the
line of defense in the JONES bribery
/ case has developed. 1t appears that
evidence is being collected to be pre-
sented TO the legislative committee to
/ the effect that JONES approached diff
! ferent members. saying there was
money in it for them if they would
make affidavit that they had been
bribed to vote for Heitfeld, and then
! turning states evidence. 1t is the pre-
vailing opinion that the committee will
i. ignore the entire matter.
THE BALL BEGINS.
The house committee investigating
the scharges of bribery in connection
with the senatorial election, held two
sessions today. A large number of
witnesses were examined and some in
teresting information was developed.
The committee sits with closed doors
and the testimony can only be gotten
by Diece-meal.
Il develops from testimony given that
JONES left the Pooulist caucus, not
because of the nomination of Heitfeld,
but because Clagett had again been
chosen. 1t was after his departure that
the Democratic ultimatum against
Clagett was received, and Heitfeld was
made the nominee.
THE PRINCIPAL WITNESS
of the day was W. ]. Beard He tes-
tilted that on the night of the caucus
he overheard hurried conversation, in
which it was stated that some one had
gone to the Hot Springs with S1,500 to
pay man there. When the fact came
out the next day that Perkins took
JONES to the Hot Springs, he recalled
this statement. Later on he heard that
Perkins had given JONES $3.50. and that
Fuller had paid him some money. Some
days later he charged JONES with hav-
ing paid him money JONES denied it,
but afterwards came to him and mar
rated all the circumstances. JONES
himself, in his testimony, told a SINH
lar story, saying he concluded he might
as well tell the whole matter since
Beard was so well informed. The MAX
ing of the affidavit followed. A feature
of the days proceedings was an effort
to discover whether or not Heitfeld
had been shown the affidavit before
leaving the city. The fact was brought
out in the testimony that copy had
been taken to the governor for the
purpose of having him show it to Heit-
field.
THE GOVERNOR WAS CALLED
before the committee. He stated that
he placed the copy of the affidavit in
Senator Heitfeld's hands. There has /
been a manifest reluctance to have the /
fact brought out officially that the |
senator knew of this charge before he /
left the city Friends of Representative /
Fuller. who left with the senator as I
his private secretary, nave telegraphed !
him to return and face the accusation. /
They expect him to arrive Tuesday He |
wired them from Sidney. Neb., this !
morning. asking for further particu- !
lars. These We're sent and it is ex-
pected he will turn back upon receipt !
of the dispatch.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoRERs.
How the Business Should be Hand
led Next July.

Chicago, Feb. 27-The chairman of
the Western Passenger association has
drawn up in the form of suggestions a
set of regulations under which he
thinks the Christian Endeavor conven-
ton business for San Francisco next
July should be handled under his di-
rection according to the agreement of
the interested roads. Upon ,the adop-
ton of these suggestions, the roads
have been invited to a hearing here
next Friday. The most important reg
ulation proposed is that no special
train be run or special equipment used
until the consent of the chairman is
first obtained Several of the roads
say they cannot agree to the adoption
of such a condition.

entails as against the all-rail route
In the early beginning it was small,
and by degrees worked up to 3S cents
on flrst-class. Now il is 43 cents. The
all-rail lines submitted only through
force of circumstances. 1t came about
through the fact that the great ocean
steamers could take each trip a vast
tonnage for ballast, e need be, and not
be out anything. Then again, the
steamship lines commenced going after
the business in a way that secured it,
and the rail lines to the gulf entered
with them fully into the project. Sea-
board territory consists of all that
lying east OF a line drawn from To-
ronto on south through Buffalo. Ro-
anoke and Charleston. From points
within that territory freight instead Of
being consigned by an all-rail route
to Utah common points, can be shipped
to New York the sum of the locals
being absorbed by the through rate
via the steamship and rail lines, and
there you are. IT can safely be said
that the all-rail lines view with con-
Germ the existing conditions confronting
them, not SO much from the large diff
ferentials as from the steadily fncreas-
ing volume of trade between the great
middle west and the gulf on the south,
an increase that is making itself felt,
and that the south cannot be forced to
give up.
