 Onense.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUBURN, Jan. 15.-Richardson, the counterfeiter, to-day waived trial be- fore Justice Wills and will remain in the custody of the Sheriff here until wanted by the Federal authorities. When that time comes, it is understood, he will plead guilty to the charges pre- ferred against him by Special Agent Harris and Detective Alter.
 In an interview to-day Richardson said he spent only two months in con structing his pressing machine. He seemed proud of his invention and said that with an apparatus such as he had he could make a dollar a minute. He could buy the sheet silver any where at not more than 52 cents an ounce, thus leaving handsome profit. He was dating the coins 1879. The special agent believes that some of the dollars are in circulation in San Fran cisco. but Richardson said he had not as yet passed any.
 When questioned as to why he went into the counterfeiting business Rich ardson had nothing to say. He appears to be a well-educated man. He was in the War of the Rebellion and is a mem ber of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie Richardson said he had no con- federate, but at one time there was a man who shared his cabin, and it is believed he Is now in the Mexican mines

DANAGIKG EVIDENCE

Direct Testimony on the Part Of the State Against the Alleged Kfe-SIayer
 IS Finished.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-Direct testimony on the part of the State against Adolph L. Luetgert, the alleged wife-murderer, was finished to-day after 19S hours in court. Dr. Dorsey was the last witness, and his cross-examination by Attorney Harmon resulted disastrously to the de- fense, the sausage-maker's lawyer bring ing out emphatic reiterations of matter material to the States case.
 When pr. Dorsey finished MT. Harmon asked that the State put Louis Luetgert on the stand, his contention being that his name was back of the indictment States Attorney McEwen replied that ness, he vouched for his truthfulness, and, as he could not vouch for the in- tegrity of Louis Luetgert, he declined to put him on the stand.
 The court agreed with the prosecution, and then notified MT. Harmon that he must be ready to proceed tomorrow morning, -. {.

It is to be expected, therefore, that I know what is due to me; that further, as the wife of the Governor of Oahu, as the Princess Royal, and as the reigning sovereign, it was not necessary for me to take les sons in the departments of social or diplomatic etiquette before residing in the national capital of the United States or making and receiving visits of any nature.

 Secretary of the Navy Long sent a rec ommendation to Congress to-day for an appropriation of 900 for improvements in the battery of the cruiser Chicago, and accompanying it is a strong report of Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, in which he points out someweaknesses of the being built at a cost considerably greater than was her original contract price. and says the department will be ineXcusable if It turns out new ship with defective guns for her main battery. It will be expensive to put four new guns aboard the Chicago, but no more than per cent Of the total expenditure on repairs.
 In the event of war, if any disaster hap pened to one of our ships owing to her possessing an ahtiquated battery. a heavy responsibility would rest on the Navy Department for failing to ask for means to meet its needs.
 T most earnestly wish we could" says Roosevelt, ''as soon as possible, with draw from active service the cruisers fit tRd with slow fire guns and substitute ships with rapid fire batteries. At present the real fighting efficiency of ships like the Raleigh, the Cincinnati, Marblehead Montgomery and Olympia, compared with foreign vessels of the same nominal class. stands high, while the reverse is the case of ships like the Baltimore, San Francisco and Yorktown.

Madeira Gre cts the Return of w. F. Baird From
 Folsom.
Friends Besiege the Home of the Man Who Was Re-
 gently PaPOled.
Willing to Extend a Helping Hand and to Forget His MisdOings
 of the Past.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MADEIRA, Jan. 15.-W. F. Baird, who was convicted in Fresno in 1893 on a charge of forgery and committed to the States Prison at Folsom in 1895 to serve a six years term, was paroled last Wednesday by the prison directors, and arrived in Madeira last night. On his arrival he went directly to his home, at the corner of D and Fourth streets, and has not as yet made his appearance on the streets.
 In spite of the fact that Baird has served a term in the penitentiary, he is by no means without friends. That he has a great many sympathiZers in Madeira is amply evidenced by the fact that the Baird residence to-day was be- Steged by callers, all anxious to con graduate MT. Baird on his having re- gained his liberty The sympathy which is being extended to Baird is not of the order that frequently proceeds from the morbidiy inclined, or those possessed of natural inclination to in dulge in hero worship. but from a class of people who believe he has amply expiated the crime charged against him. Ever since Baird's conviction there have been many in Madeira who believe that he was more sinned against than shining.
 A PSCuildI feature or the crime lIl- puted to MT. Baird is that no one ever lost cent through the many forgeries credited to him. Some ten or twelve indictments were found against him. He was convicted on two charges. and appealed from the decision of the lower courts. The Supreme Court reversed one of the cases. and, but for a tech nicality. would have reversed both of them. It was upon the decision affirm ed by that court that Baird served his time. All of the other indictments against him were dismissed, so that he is now free from further prosecution on the forgery charges and at liberty to begin life anew.

Q fashionable sum- mer resort near Gloucester.
 For some time there have been we'll defined rumors regarding the perform ances held there, and a Salem newspaper demanded that Coffin be prosecuted but nobody thought that this brilliant young society leader would actually be arrest ed. Acting upon the information forced upon him, however, District Attorney White brought the evidence to the Grand Jury, and as result Coffin was to-day arrested on capias. He will be ar raigned on Monday. Many prominent club men and swells are trembling for fear they will have to stand exposure also, and several have hastily left the city.
