Washington. May 4.-Senator Cullom
seating Of gubernatorial appointees as
senators in the four existing vacancies
He says:
I'm the past have contended against
seating this class of appointees. partly
because of party policy, and partly be-
cause I have doubted the governors
right to appoint. But now l must con-
fesS that L intend TO hold myself free
to look into the question a little more
carefully.
Just before congress adjourned L
had a conversation with Senator Nor
gan on this same subject, and he adj
vanced many arguments on the con-
stitutional side of the subject in favor
of seating such appointees. These ar
gumentS made a deep impression on
me, and he advised me to devote Il
portion of the summer to a study of
the whole subject. L told him that 1
would do so, and [ intend to make
careful investigation.
Although my past record would seem
to indicate that / would vote against
seating Senator Quay. 1 am one of
those who believe that consistency is
not always a jewel. particularly when
it conflicts with right, and that a man
has a right to change if he finds he has
done wrong. The legislators of Penn
sylvania, California, Utah and Della
ware, by failing to elect senators. I'M
doubtedly violated the popular will.
There is a great party in this country
that believes we should go directly to
the people to elect our senators. In
these times we ought to come as near
as we can to letting the people have
their say

BIG RUSH FOR STOCK
Applications For Shares In New
Copper Company.

SUBSCRIBED FOR SEW
ERAL TIMES OVER.
Sends the Value Up to 40 Per Cent
Above the Issue Price-Strong
Opposition Has Developed to the
Newly Formed Combine In New
York-Clark In Paris.
lsnecial to The Herald.l


New York, May 4.-The subscription
books for the 10000 shares of stock of the
Amalgamated Copper Co.. which were
offered for public subscription closed at
the City National bank at noon today.
When the subscription lists were closed
there was line of would-be subscribers
which extended through the corridors OF
the bank out into Wall street.
This tremendous rush of applicants has
been growing the offices of the bank ever
since April %, when the stock was first
offered to the public. The capital stock
of The Amalgamated Copper company
amounts to $4,000 600, divided into 10000
shares at a par value of 500. which stock
was offered for public subscription at
par, and ii is understood that II has been
subscribed for several times over.
The officers of the company were I'M
able TO say this afternoon what the real
subscriptions were. Such was the demand
for the stock, however, that in the curb
market the subscriptions were quoted at
40. or 40 per cent above the issue price.
Until the total amount of the subscrip-
ton is known it is impossible to say how
much any subscriber will get, as the al
lotment will be made pro rata. The ire
mendouS excess of the subscriptions, in
view of the rather meagre details OF the
company'S prospectus, was considered re-
markable in Wall street.

why did you have feeling against
Stoutt?" asked Attorney whittemore.
But on the objection of Judge Dick
son the court ruled that the cause of
the animus was immaterial; that it did
not increase or lessen the feeling, which
was the important thing
Did you get the note out of the
pouch where others were kept?" asked
Judge Dickson
Yes; the ink was not yet dry"
Now, why did you add that? I said
nothing about ink. Was it not your
animus against Stoutt?"

the witness.

When the contending attorneys had
finished with Wightman, Juror Ewing
arose.
Did you ever examine that signature

handing him the alleged forged note
and a small magnifying glass. rs there
Yes, one between the H and the e.'
said Wightman.
Don't you notice several erasures %
The jurors looked in Amusement, the
attorneys were startled and the spec
tators could not comprehend the situa-
ton. Here experts, who are supposed
TO know everything about handwriting,
including Expert Hay, who said he had
studied the signatures of Hedges for
two months. and who had come all the
way from Washington to testify, had
not seen the erasures. They had been
left to a juror to discover. The Situa-
ton was dramatic.

attorney.

There was no doubt about the era

Hedges had been erased and another
stroke made in its place. The first e
in Hedges had been erased entirely and
another one made. Whether or not the
signature was made to lool. more like
the first writing is a question that the
attorneys spent a large part of the af-
ternoon trying TO have experts on hand

ing the name, tried to improve on bis
work. The attorneys for the defense

WILL BUILD IN new YORK
sAML. NEWHoUsE INVESTS IN
METROPOLITAN PROPERTY.
Salt Lake Capitalist and His Brother
Purchase a Lot For $75O,000-
Will Put Up a Sky-scraper.
(special to The Herald.l

New York, May 4.-That conspicuous
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. piece of real
estate, the triangle included by Broad
way and Fifth avenue, just south of
Twenty third street. has been sold to
Samuel and Mott I. Newhouse. Con-
tracts were closed today at the office OF
Samuel Untermeyer of Ne firm of Gug-
genheimer, Untermeyer & Marshall, Tor
the transfer of the property by William
2. Emo TO the MeSSrS. NewhOuse.
The purchase price is reported to be
about S750,00O The buyers intend to
erect on the plot a modern tail build
ing, the ground and basement floors of
which Will be used as stores, and the
upper floors for offices and bachelor
apartments.
Samuel Newhouse, although not a
resident of this city, is well known =,
financial circles through his extensive
copper mining interests. He lives in
Salt Lake City, and is the owner OF The
Utah & Boston Consolidated copper
mine. Mott /. Newhouse, his brother,
was formerly New Yorker, but has
recently lived in London, associated
with his brother, and attending to the
foreign end of their mining interests.
The sale of the northerly part of The
block known as the Flat Iron,' is, in
many ways, the most interesting real
estate transaction closed in many
day, but it's chief Importance lies in
the fact that the price represents
high record of value per square foot for
Manhattan real estate outside of lower
Broadway and Wall streets. Even in
those sections the square-foot rate paid
by the Messrs. Newhouse has been ex-
ceeded but few times.
The triangle covers 132 feet on Fifth
avenue, IA on Broadway and is about
fifty feet wide at the south side.
The peculiar shape of this piece and
its great frontage in proportion to its
area make the comparison of any re-
cent prices in the neighborhood almost
without significance, but it may be
said that no such price as 5000 per
square foot has ever been paid for
either Broadway or Fifth avenue lots
near Twenty-third street. In the ma
jority of cases the considerations show
rate little above one-half of that
figure.
The Emo. now the Newhouse plat,
was bought by the late Amos r. Emo
about 1855 for $32, 500. From time to
time many tempting offers were made
to him to part with it, and his predic-
ton that he would live to see it worth
500, 900 was all but fulfilled. With
modern structures going up on every
hand, it's old one and two-story build
ings have remained, but it has been
stated by the executors of the Emo es-
tate for the last ten years, with the
property at no time fully occupied, the
yearly rents collected have averaged
$40. OOO-more than the original purchase
price.

past years He went into the Utah
National on the morning of July %, OF
last year and began his work. President
Stout called off the notes to him in the
directors room and he took down the
amounts and among them had called
off the Hedges note as if it were genu-
inc.
He came to the conclusion on exami-
nation of the note that it was a forgery
and he took possession of it that even
ing. It was PLACID by him in the vault
of another bank for safe keeping.
You preferred no charge on the note
until December?" asked Attorney
Dickson on cross-examination-
NO, everything was done with the
approval of the department at Wash
ington," said Wightman.
Feeling Towards Stout.
Haven't you expressed a feeling of
malice. iIl-will and hatred against
Stoutt?" asked the attorney.
mo" replied the examiner.
Haven't you expressed bitterness
against him?''
Yes
did you, in the presence of Chief of
Police Pratt, ON the evening of Jones
arrest on the charge of shooting Stout,
declare that Stout was a id old liar
and a id old thief"
well, / knew something of the af-
fairs connected with the shooting, and
1 believed he was lying when he said
that Jones had done it."
Did you tell Chief Pratt that if alone
for five minutes with Jones you would
tell him who shot Stoutt?" asked Attor-
ney Dickson.
Yes"
And you did go into a room with him
and say that Hedges shot Stout, and
say so when you came out?"
Il said that 1 thought Hedges shot
Stout" corrected Wightman.
Didn't you say that Stout had
swindled Hedges out of s20,000?"
mo. it was $4,000
did you say at the examination of
Jones that Stout was a id old
- - -, an old thief, and that
you knew he was a thief the first time
you laid eyes on him. asked Judge
Dickson.
II said he was an old thief"
And you didn't commence this pros
ecution of Stout until after he had
Jones with shooting him."
NO

disclosure, plainly to be seen by every
one and admitted by each side upon eX-
animation of the note with magnifying
glasses. threw the attorneys for both
the government and the defense into
bewilderment for a time.
Each side vehemently claimed that
its case was bettered by the discovery.
But as they We're apparently ignorant
OF the fact, the suddennesS of the
statement, coming after the note had
been studied for days. caused conster-
nation. The whole case was disjointed
until the attorneys had time TO grasp
the full significance of this new devel-
opment. Until then each side made
wild statements and CROPPED about in
The dark. Judges Dickson and Powers,
who are conducting Mr.. Stoutt'S case,
maintained that as the note had been
I'm the possession of the government Of
.lcials and attorneys for months, the
erasureS must have been made by
them. On the other hand United States
Attorney Whittemore insisted that 1t
was proof that Stout himself tam
pered with the note to make his for
gerry seem the more like Hedges sig
nature.
The discovery was made while Bank
Examiner Wightman was on the stand.
At the conclusion of his direct and
croSs-examination Juror Ewing arose
and asked him if he had ever made
an examination of the note with a
rnzsnifying glass.
Il have not" said he. whereupon
Mr. Ewing HANGED him the note and a
