OFFICERS UNDER
 EXAMINATION.
Gave Their Testimony in the Haynes Murder Case
 Yesterday.
The PrOsec utiOn Has Submitted and the Defense Will Have an
 Inning Saturday,

The police investigation fin the Haynes case was resumed yesterday morning be-
 fore Judge Conlan, and after testimony
 has been given by many witnesses the
 prosecution submitted the case, and at
 the request of Attorneys Wilson and
 Sweeney for the defense an adjournment
 was taken until Saturday morning. Dur
 ing the afternoon session the various of
 ficers who were on the scene at the time
 of the shooting explained the movements
 on the fatal morning.
 William Cole, young boy, was the first
 witness called, and he was followed by
 Emil Ott, another lad who proved to be
 the best witness yet called from the standpoint that he had seen the whole
 affair, and in straightforward manner told all the circumstances surrounding the case. The principal point elicited
 from the witness was the statement that Officer Merchant had fired a shot before
 Lieutenant Burke had fallen to the ground fatally wounded at the feet of Merchant, who then fired at Haynes.
 Peter Duffy was the last witness called prior to the testimony given by Officers Kennedy Merchant, Marlowe and Will kinson, who in turn explained the shoot ing, but the testimony given by each of
 the officers was at variance with that previously given. It was stated by some that Burke had fired three shots before ne fell and then emptied his pistol at Haynes, but the others were not certain as to the shooting, but thought no more 1 than three shots had been fired by the
 injured man.
 i The sensation of the day was when Pa 1 trol Driver Cashel went upon the stand, | but nothing new was elicited from his 1 testimony and no questions were asked in ] cross-examination. Sergeant Colby iden- 1 tined the revolVers and cartridges as the 1 ones taken from the cabin on the day of
 the tragedy, and the case was submitted | by the prosecution.
 l During the examination Chief Lees
 from time to time prompted Prosecuting Attorney Mogan to the points which he wished to have brought to the atten- 1 tion of the Judge After Officer Kennedy
 had been examined the prosecuting attor-
 ney stated that he was unable to see where any cowardice had been shown, and thought the witness should be com
 mended for his bravery, but Attorney J. N. E. Wilson said that he understood Haynes was being tried for murder and that he was not aware the case was for the trial of the officers for cowardice While Wilkinson was being examined
 the attorney for the State clapped his hands sharply for the purpose of illus
 trating the rapidity with which the shots were fired, and he did so the large curtain on the window came down with a thud, which caused Chief Lees,
 the attorneys and the witness to dodge with one accord, as the illustration was
 realistic aided by the inanlmate curtain.
 The case will be resumed Saturday morn- ing at Ii o'clock.

 The machine was repaired, more chemicals were purchased and another trial given. It was then fully demon strated that the machine would not do what Lee and Elliott claimed for 1t with the ingredients used, but that the addition of a very expensive oil gave the desired result. It was then decided to put detectives on the trail or the swindlers, but the birds had flown. With their wives they went to Auck- land New Zealand, on the steamer Elingamite. From there they went to Wellington, New Zealand, and joined the steamer A--angi, under the names of MT. and Mrs. Edmonds, MT. and Mrs. Waterfeld and Mir. Williams. The police at Victoria, B. C., were waiting for the swindlers hen the Aorangi reached there and the police here were on the lookout when the Moana reached San Francisco last month, but the quin- tet were safe from pursuit in Homo lulu.
 Tt was one of the cleverest swindles ever perpetrated in AuStrG-ia," said one of the officers of the Alameda yester- day. People were breaking their necks to get shares in the concern and the directors gobbled up 48 shares of the unallotted stock before the other shareholders could get a chance. The swindled stockholders asked the New South Wales Government to extradite the swindlers, but the premier replied something like this: Gentlemen, it cost us $25,000 to extradite Butler and he was guilty of murder and was with out money and without friends. Now we know these men have $15000 at least and plenty of friends in the States, so how much do you think it will cost us to extradite them? A great leal more than the Government will spend. Gen. tlemen, we can do nothing for you That was the last heard of extraditing.
 "The last heard from the swindlers was that on their arrival in California they were going to strike out for the Klondike with a gold-saving apparatus which is going to revolutionize gold mining. If it is anything like their at mospheric gas it must be a great inven- tion."

 So much time was taken up in discus sion that the nomination and election of grand officers was not reached. This event, which has occupied the attention of the politicians of the order for months. will take place to-day
 Among the recommendations adopted by the Grand Lodge is one by the grand medical examiner which suggests that the lodge examiners should have better understanding of the duties required of them and he sets forth several reminders to such examiners, namely, that they should closely scan applicants to deter mine if there is anything that will vitiate the full expectancy of life; that they shoul- remember that the relation be- tween the applicant and examiner is dif- ferent from that which exists between

 About fifteen or twenty COWS managed to create a deal of excitement along the water front yesterday afternoon. They from Petaluma and were to be sent to Oakland by the creek route. As there is a municipal law forbidding the driving of cattle in certain districts of the city be- tween specified hours the ones handling the consignment hired water front to lead the cows. When they got mixed up with the cars and heavy traffic on East street there was a stampede and a ''hot time.' The cows ran upon the side- walks and into pedestrians, causing everybody to take leg bail and the ladies to scream with fright. One horseman took after an especially vicious COW that and was thrown from his steed at the foot of Jackson street. but luckily escaped serious injury. The cows were finally corralled and got out of the center of trade, after Sergeant Mahoney and all the police along the front had perspired who all earned their dimes by the sweat of their brows.
 Captain Dunlevy of the harbor police and James Orndorf were nearly run down by William Taylor, driver for the West ern Transfer. Company, at the foot of Clay street about p. m. yesterday. The captain expostulated with the man and was replied to in an extremely vulgar manner, whereupon he arrested Taylor and booked him at the harbor police sta ton on charge of using vulgar lan- guage. The arrested man was bailed ont by E. T. Brown.

TO FIGHT CARNEGIE.
Federal Steel Company's Purchase
of a Railroad Interpreted.

Pittsburg, Dec. S.--Iron and steel
men, as we'll as railroad men, are dis
cussing with great interest the pur-
chase of the Cleveland, LOrain and
Wheeling Railway by the Federal Steel
company. ielano Luce of the Great
Northern railroad. who is in the city,
says. regarding the sale of the road:
THE consensus of opinion around the
lakes seems to be that the Federal
Steel company has frightened up its
lines by the purchase of this fine coal
read, and that it is ready to begin
war promised against the Carnegie
Steel company. Since Johnson moved
his big steel mills from Johnstown to
Lorain he has been very busy improv-
ing. and now the biggest lake steam
ships can come w to the doors of the
mills and take on goods and unload ore.
All that was needed was a road con-
nccting the immense mills with some
coal field and By the purchase of the
Cleveland Lorain and Wheeling the
Federal people have got into the finest
coal district in the country. You will
find soon a most bitter fight on between
rival concerns. 1t locks like a battle
with the lake front concerns arrayed
against the interior steel manufactur-
ers"
