HEARING ON THE HULL
REQUISITION CASE.
Governor Impressed by Statement
That Hull is Being Prosecuted
for Ulterior rlOtives.

tion to show any convictions for per-
jury on such fact.
THE GOVERNOR IMPRESSED.
Gov. Dyer and Gen. Tanner were inn
pressed by the announcement OF Mr..
Angel that Mrs. Hulps name was being
used by others 10 prosecute HUI for ui-
terror motives.
Mr.. Angel wanted the hearing con-
tinued. but Mr.. Matteson objected. as
Hull was remanded only until today.
Finally is was agreed that the New
York counsel should obtain from HUI
and the district attorneys ONCE con-
sent that he should remain in CUSTODY
until the malicious prosecution charges
could be Investigated. Mr.. Angel per-
fected his plans. and in day or Two
Gov. Dyer will hear what the New
York and Boston attorneys may nave
10 say. Mr.. Angel said he doubted III
the New York authorities would con-
slider the complaint sufficient. but IL Mr..
Hull was brought here he would make
a most determined fight.
A PENDING SUIT.
Most of Hulls difficulties appear 10
have been concentrated in Boston, he
says and his Boston attorney intimates
I practically the same thing, that the
prosecution in New York has some con-
nection with an action against Mr.. Hun.
now pending i'm the Sunolk, Mass, su-
perior civil court. The suit still unset
tied is the last of several suits which
were brought against Mr.. Hull on ac-
count of mine promoting, and upon al
legged contracts and agreements In con-
nection with the sale, transfer ana
manipulation of mining stock ana MIN
ing property.
The action TO which Mr.. Hull refers
is one brought by James Shirley, q
mining engineer for $780, .000 and was
instituted last August. Mr.. Shirley
claims that in November. 1898, Mr.. Hull
was the owner of a majority OF the
shares OF the United Verde Extension
gold. silver and copper mining company
of Arizona. According 10 the declara-
tion the plaintiff entered into an agree
ment with the defendant to assist him
in selling some of the shares of the
stock. and the defendant agreed 10 pey
him all i'm excess of $iS5,000 received
for the shares.
Mr.. Shirley alleges that he Travelled
10 New York and Boston selling the
stock. and that Mr.. Hull received con-
siderably tnore than SlS5,OOO for the
stock. Mr.. Shirley insists that Mr.. HUI
owes him $3.50 900 on account of his con-
tract. In answer, Mr.. Hull says there
was no contract of this kind, but IL
there was III was abandoned by mutual
consent long before the stock was sold.
He further replies that when the stock
was sold Mr.. shirley acted with and as
one of the purchasers. and that he re-
ceived money anu stock in payment for
his services. Mr.. Hull also says that
the action is prematurely brought.
This action Is TO be tried very soon,
and is apparently the only one left of a
number brought under similar conten-
tions. All of the other suits were settled
privately or by decisions for the de-
fendant. Judge Foster in New York,
yesterday denied the application for a
writ of habeas made by the counsel for
Hull Wednesday a similar application
was refused by Judge Fitzgerald.

New York. April ia revival of for
mer rumors to the effect that Pennsyl-

Ohio railroad are about to absorb the
Philadelphia & Reading and the Central
railroad OF New Jersey comes in Balti-

The plan Is To be for the Baltimore

ing division extending from Philadel-
ph'a 10 Bound Brook, ~. j.. and one or

THIS scheme would give the Baltimore

There is every indication that George
w. Hull the Arizona millionaire mine
owner, is TO make determined fight
New York TO stand trial for alleged
perjury in connection with his defeated
divorce petition. A hearing was held
before Gov. Dyer and Attorney Gen.
Tanner yesterday afternoon, at which
the complainant, Mary j. Hull, was
represented by Archibald c. Matteson.
and the respondent by Walter +. An
gell. The private warrant was eXhib-
tied, and its date, December %, 1899.
shows that the wifes attorney had long
been waiting before he caught Hull in
New York.
Mr.. Matteson asked that requisition
papers be granted on the face OF the
warrant. The latter set forth that on
November 20, 1899. George n. Bliss, a
master in chancery issued at Hulls
request a citation TO him to take his
sworn deposition and that Hull under
oath said: MY name is George w.
Hull, my age is 81, am resident of
Providence, and am dealing in mines.
/ first came TO Providence in August,
1898, and in October, 1898, l came to
live In Providence, where / have lived
until now" and yet that at that time
Hull was not resident of Providence,
but oflJerome. Arizona. and had been
for long time. The entire prosecution
will rest on that statement, for a per-
son must be a resident for two years
TO bring a divorce petition here.
MIR. ANGELL'S POINT.
Mr.. Angel said the procedure had
been by way Of a private complaint,
instead OF resting upon an indictment.
The complainant was many miles
away, and he had doubts that she could
be persuaded to come here. He learned
from New York counsel that these pro-
ceedings were brought TO satisfy the
personal ends of those other than Mrs.
Hull. He asked for time in which the
New York counsel could prove this.
Mr.. Matteson replied that a warrant
had been resorted to because some or
the witnesses resided fn distant cities.
Two grand juries had sat since the al
legged perjury: but the first was just
completing its work. and when the next
one came In Mrs. Hull. who was Ill In
Somerville, Mass. could not attend.
and by advice of physician went west.
Her husband, a few days after the
warrant was sworn out. suddenly left
Boston and went TO Arizona. Capt
Parker Of Providence searched in Bos-
ton and New York fer him. Finally.
when Hull returned to New York. Capt.
McClosky of New York arrested him,
and held him for these papers.
Mr.. Angel said the ot-,er side had not
heard from Mrs. Hull for weeks, and
doubted that she knew OF these pro-
ceedings Yesterday. After considerable
fencing. IL transpired that Judge San
ford OF Arizona had directed that the
prosecution begin. Mr. Angel caution
ed Gov. Dyer that Hull was accused
only OF making mistake as TO his
residence. He challenged the prosecu-

AFTER five WEEKS
Body Of Walter Il. SteeTe Found In
fuckers Pond, Pascoag.
Probably Broke Through The Ice While
Crossing and Was Drowned.

The body OF Walter II. Steere, 30
years Of age and unmarried, was found
yesterday in fuckers pond near the es-
tate OF Hunter White. between Pascoa z
and Chepachet. Mr.. Steere disappeared
about five weeks ago in a peculiar way.
He left home and went to the sawmill
TO work. Later he returned home,
changing his clothes and went out.
When asked where he was going he
replied that he could not say, as he
might go to Chepachet or he might
go to Harrisvile. 1t is now thought
that he started for Harrisville. and, in
attempting to cross the pond, broke
through the ice and drowned.
Yesterday morning, his father, be-
lieving that his sons body was In the
pond, started TO search for IT,
He discovered what appeared TO be
the head OF n man, and. summoning
two men who work on the White estate.
he procured a boat and removed what
proved to be the body of his son.
The body was taken To the unfortu-
nate mans home and Medical Exami-
ner Harris was called. He pronounced
death due TO accidental causes. The
funeral will be held next Saturday.

LIVELY COMPETITION LIKELY
between STEAMBOAT LINES

Every indication seems to point to
still greater competition between the
Narragansett Bay line and the Fall
River line during the coming season.
No sooner had the announcement
been made and confirmed that the Fall
River line would build pier at James
town to meet the competition promised
by the Bay line. by the building Of their
pier at saunderstown. than another an
nouncement was made that the Bay
line was about to serve the Newport
people.
General Freight Agent Taylor has
visited jamestown, and General Pass
enger Agent DE Young OF the Bay line
has also been there. As result of
his efforts no is said 10 have received
some valuable Accommodations.
The prospects are that the James
town ferries VIII give the boats landing
at Saunderstown some acceptable con-
nections for Newport. and II Is also
probable that other connections will be
made whereby the haul across James,

every town and school district in
Colorado, has been appropriated
BY the various counties ever since
tha state was organized. From a
strictly legal standpoint, the state,
towns and school districts are
probably Justly entitled to the IN
terest collected on delinquent taxes
due them, but it is like robbing
Peter to pay Paul to demand and
attempt to enforce the payment OF
the interest due. The expense that
would be involved in figuring out
the interest due each would amount
to more than the sum that would
be realized by the state, towns and
school districts. Governor Thomas
made a formal demand upon the
various county treasurers OF the
state about one year ago for the
interest collected by them upon
delinquent taxes due the state, ex-
pecting to realize sum sufficient
to help the state out OF its fnan-
cial difficulties. The county treas
urers simply ignored the demand,
however, and nothing was done TO
enforce it. The demand OF the
"mair of La Hunty" will probably
have a similar reception.

the interest collected blythe county

by the county to its own use. The
