PERJURY CASE DISMISSED.
Insufficient Evidence Produced
Against Mayor Conner, Of
IssQuuah, and HIS Father.

VIII d. Conner mayor OF the coal min
ing town of issaquah, and Charles D. Con-
before United States Commissioner Kiefer
on a charge of perjury alleged to have
been committed In the government land
office in this city on November %. After
a hearing, during which it developed that
personal i'll feeling and town politics fig
ured extensively in the prosecution, the
MAGISTRATE discharged the prisoners on the
ground that the evidence against them was
insufficient to warrant binding them over
to await the action of the next Federal
W. L. Newton, police Judge at Issaquah,
and who. the testimony yesterday devel-

able unenviable notoriety by hoisting the
Spanish flag at that place during the late
war, was the complaining witness against

swearing in making timber land entry.
Their oath that they had personally visited

Commissioner Kiefer and lad the alleged
facts before him, with the result that the
latter, with the approval of United States
Attorney Gay. issued warrant Of arrest
The warrant was placed in the hands OF
Deputy Marshal Stringer, who arrested the
defendants late Friday night at their home
on the train yesterday morning.
Before going very far into the case yes
terday afternoon, Commissioner Kfefer
found that the evidence against the Con-
ners was very f.msy: Newtons principal
ground Cor making the charge seemed TO
be that neither Of the defendants had been
absent from Issaquah long enough at any
one time, in his opinion. to visit the land,
which lies about nineteen niles from the
town. The governments witnesses were
unable, however, to prove affirmatively
that the Corners had not been on the land.
and. the commissioner for that reason re-
fused to hear more testimony as to the
alleged perjury.
The defendants did not take the witness
after Their discharge, that they had come
prepared to prove that they had not only
been on the land in person, but had
"cruised" 1t for its timber
During the examination Of the witnesses
1t cropped ont that Newton and the Con-
ners had a falling out some time ago and
are now bitter enemies. The exact nature

When the secretary finished the read
ing of the resolutions, there was great
demonstration of applause in all parts
of the hall, continuing for fully half
minute. Then Mr.. Brady took the
floor, and stated that he was glad to
father the resolutions, although they
had not been prepared by him. He
said he was not opposed TO Wheeling

trap or demagogic talk as Colonel
O'Brien. I know the Wheeling indus
tries are making money, and I only
deplore the fact that there are not more
industries here making money"
The substitute was adopted by an
overwhelming majority. A few mo-
ments later several persons appeared to
be in doubt as to what had been voted
upon, and Mr.. Brady asked for rising
vote.
Colonel O'Brien arose. and remarked
that while Mr.. Brady had not used the
term thugs" he had used the word
"hoodlums
Mr.. Brady-"That's right, and I
meant every word of it-hoodlums. not
thugs"
Colonel O'Brien-"Before taking a

On the rising vote only about a dozen
voted against the resolutions. The

NEW PLAYERS.

There will be more new faces on the
Wheeling team to-day, and it will no doubt
be strengthened. The management has
worked hard to get a permanent team, but
several experiments have resulted disas-
trously. The team will probably remain as
it will appear this afternoon. unless acct
dents necessitate further changes. Billy
George. of Bellaire, was signed yesterday
to play left field and Wells will
take his turn in the pitchers
box. Bammert and Meyers, the
two intielders from the Southern
League, have arrived, and will play to-day.
Bammert practiced with the club before
the game. He viii replace Babb at short.
Meyers is feet inches tall. and will hold
down the initial bag. He is also catcher
and will replace Twineham as catcher in
case of accident. Meyers led the Southern
League In hitting up to the time the or
ganization disbanded. Parvin is anxious
for another trial against Fort Wayne and
Manager Lyle last night decided to nut
the big fellow in the box this afternoon

STANDING OF CLUBS.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE New YorkS
forfeited game to the Brooklyns this af-
ternoon in the second inning, when the
Brooklyns were at the bat, the score at the
time being 5 to / in favor of Brooklyn.
Umpire Burns, who declared the game for
feited, did so after the locals made life
miserable for him. The kicking began in
the first inning The trouble came to a
head when Casey, the first Brooklyn bat
ter in the second, was at the plate. Sey-
mour. who was pitching, sent a straight
one over the plate that Burns called a
ball" Seymour and Warner threw up
their hands. Warner was Immediately re-
moved. Then came Gleason and this left
the team in a hopeless condition. The
game was finally continued and Wilson
went in to catch. Coakley, a pitcher, re-
placed Gleason and Foster went to short
The first ball pitched by Seymour was a
Strike, but Wilson stepped to one side and
the ball came close to Umpire Burns. He
promptly removed Wilson from the game
for what he claimed was a deliberate
move to allow the hall to hit him. This
caused another row and Gleason and War
ner were ordered off the grounds. They
did not go promptly enough to suit Burns
and he declared the game forfeited.
The forfeiture places the New York club
liable to $1,000 fine, which must be paid
to the Brooklyn club.
President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club,
said after the game that he notified Pres
ident Young of the League, before the
New York Brooklyn series began, not to
assign Burns as umpire. Both teams left
for the west tonight
