Boni's conduct with the glorious tradi-
tions OF the Castellane family. One felt
gr1eVed, he said, to find such falsehoods
written with the pen of a Castellane
Count de Castellane wired Wertheimer
after his arrival in New York that he
was well satisfied with the voyage, which
counsel said Wertheimer interpreted as
meaning that the Goulds would finance
him.
Counsel for Count de CasteEane, Maitre
Bcnat, acting for Coudert Bros, of New
York, contended that Wertheimer had
been striving to prevent the case from
coming before the courts, but the result
had been unfortunate for him, as the ma
ture of Wertheimers business must be
exposed.
Maitre Bonat said George ]. Gould con-
sidered Wertheimer gave credit to a
ough comprehension of the value of mon
ey on terms very advantageous to him
self.
Wertheimer, counsel contended. while
giving Count de Casteflane time to pay,
offered to make exchanges whereby he
took back the finest objects of his collec-
tions. Wertheimer had no right to say
Count Castellane was pursuing dis
honorable course.
Counsel claimed that Wertneimer had
abused the confidence Of the young peo-
pie, and If the latter had committed fol-
lies, 1T could be said that for the last
eighteen months they had been cruell,,
atoning for them. Moreover, henceforth,
they would devote themselves to wiping
out the Indebtedness. Before the con
clusion of the argument the case was ad-
journed for a week.

DEATH OF EX=CADET BOOZ
MIR. BOOZ SIR. TAKEN TO TASK BY
CONGRESSMAN PHILLIPS.

WEST POINT, N Y, Dec. 20-The
military court of inquiry composed of
Gems. Brooke, Bates and Clous. got
through a mass of evidence today and to-
morrow the cadets of the first class.
among whom are Frank I1ellar, who
fought Beoz, and some of the men who
saw the contest, will be examined
The court expects to have all the evi,
dence collected by Saturday evening, but
judging by the large number of witness
es expecting to be called. there may ro--
sibly be an adjournement until after the
holidays. The name Of former Cadet
John Z. Breth, of Altoona, Pa, who, it
is alleged, died eighteen months ago as
a result Of brutal hazing at the West
Point military academy, was associated
with that of Oscar i. Booz in the in
quiry today.
Supt Mills emphaticaily denies that
Breth was injured While here and said
today that the statements were absolute
ly false.
III refutation of a statement made by
CADET Boozs father, Congressman Phil
lips, of Cleveland O., sent a telegram TO
Supt. Mills, Of the academy, denying
that he ever came to West Point for the
purpose of protecting his son, Cadet Burt
W. Phillips, from being hazed. This was
submitted to the court and by direction

Counsel explained how the count cheer.
fully accepted all the transactions. ex.
pressing satisfaction until the last mo-
ment, when he turned and accused
Wertheimer of usury.
Nlaitre Foucauld presented details Of
the various transactions and replied to
the contention that the articles were solS
at exaggerated prices. He explained tt at
Count Poni de Castellane sold a number
OF articles and Wertheimer asked the
buyer at what price he would resell them
to him. The prices asked were above
those at which Wertheimer sold the
articles.
Counsel quoted one article in a batch
which the count asked him (Nertheiner)
to sell on the eve of his departure for
New York, which Count de Castellane.
counsel said, asked a higher price than
he had paid for the article. Wertheimer
nevertheless, sold the batch at the count s
figures.
Nothing could be more painful, assert
ed Mattre Foucauld than the steU0 taken
by the Castellanes to avoid the suits.
Who could have expected such an atti-
tude from a Castellane? No one could
reproach Wertheimer for placing conf
dence in the man who had contracted
marriage with the richest heiress in the
world, one whose fortune the press de-
scribed as fabulous. The count, when
hard pressed, told Wertheimer that Mr.
Gould would pay.

The counts conduct at this period, ac-
cording to counsel, resembled that of q

doing, and requested his creditors to
keep from Mr.. Gould the real extent OF
his Indebtedness. Later the count affirm
ed his own brother would pay Wer-
theimer, but through his brothers law
yers, not through his 0he count's)
hands.

Boni was thus obliged to admit that his
own brother would not trust him with
money"

YOUNG -cUDAHYs sroRY

When young Edward Cudahy arose

Sarpy county and arrest you as Eddie
McGee, who escaped from the reform
school,"
The lad protested that he was not the
mythical Eddie MCGEE, bat his capt3rs
said that he would have to be identi-
fled. They placed him in a buggy and
drove to Thirty-sixth street, and thence
south to Leavenworth street. AS they
approached LeaVenworth street a motor

conductor and said to his caotors: There

hlindfolded him and whipped up the
horse. The lad thinks they crossed
LeavenWorth and then drove in a south
westerly direction Presently they came
to a house, which, in the opinion of the
lad, is somewhere in the southwestern
part of South Omaha.
Young Cudahy was taken from the
buggy and placed in room and chained
to the floor.

IRELAND GOING TO CUBA
ARCHBISHOP OF ST. PAUL TO REP
RESENT THE PRESIDENT.

DULUTH, Mimi. Dec. 2O.-Archbishop
Ireland, of St. Paul, is to make a trip
to the island of Cuba shortly after the
first of the year by commission from
President Mckinley and will investigate
certain matters there with reference to
the interests of the Roman Catho ic
church in the island and win make rec
concentrations to the president with ref
erence thereto. Bishop McGolrick, of
Duluth, has been invited by the arch
bishop to accompany him. The mission
of the archbishop is said to be the in
vestigation of questions in dispute re-
specting the allotment of church pros
poets in the island. It is surmised that
the president believes that the selection
of one of their own cflurchmen for the
mission will convince the members Of
the church in the island of the fairness
of the intentions of the government Of
this country in its treatment Of them,
and the president at the same time has
confidence ir the fairness of the dis
tinguished American prelate.
When the archbishop leaves for Cuba
a government boat will be placed at his
disposal and he will make tour Of the
entire island, studying the conditions and
all phases Of the question which he is
asked to solve.

FUTURE PROGRAMME.

Inquiry at the state department as to
the future of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty,
just ratified with amendments by the
senate, developes the fact that, contrary
to the common understanding, the docu-
ment does not need to be returned at this
stage to the British government, even If
the president is of mind to go on with
the negotiations.
Secretary Hay will await an indication
of the presidents wishes in the matter,
and if the latter, as has already been in
dicated by official statements, concludes
to give the British government an op-
portunity to pass upon the amended
treaty then the state department will
forward at once to that government, not
the treaty itself, but the terms of he
amendments. In diplomatic, parlance, the
British government will be notified of
the amendments. According to the state
ment Of the officials of the state depart
ment, Great Britain must then be al
lowed a reasonable time within which to
accept or reject them. AS to what would
constitute q ''reasona bic" time, no direct
expression was to be had, but the atten-
ton was directed to the fact that the
United States government has had the
treaty under consideration for a year,
and that the amendments made today
were beyond dispute vital
INTERVIEWED HAY.
The ministers from Nicaragua and
Costa Rica were both in concultation
with Secretary Hay today, with reference
to the probable action of the United
States senate on the pending Hay
Pauncefote treaty. Neither of the minis
terS was prepared to admit a knowledge
of the intention of his government in the
event that the treaty is ratified in its
proposed amended form. The protocols
drawn up among themselves and Secre-
tary Hay, providing for the acquisition by
the United States of such rights in
Nicaragua and Costa Rica as may be
necessary for. the construction of the
canal, are broad in scope, probably pur-
posely made by Secretary Hay in
view of contingencies of senatorial ac-
ton. Therefore it is probable they may
be sufficient in themselves, and without
further amendment to constitute the
basis for the preparation of the treaties
which must precede any canal building
by the United States
The state department is about to SUBJ
nit a comprehensive reply to the IN
quiries initiated by Senator Tillman and
Senator Morgan respecting the exact
position of the Panama Canal company,
and the nature of the negotiations that
have been exchanged between it and the
United States government for the pur-
pose of supplying congress with material
for choice between the Panama route
and the Nicaraguan route. 1t probably
will be shown among other things that
the canal commission or the state de-
partment thought that the sum of $685.
000000 was sufficient to pay for all the
rights and properties which the Panama
Canal company could turn over to the
United States in the event that the choice
fell upon their route The canal company
regarded this sum as ridiculously made
Quate.

Quoted by gang of kidnapers last
Thursday night
Yesterday about noon, and several hours
after a letter had been left on the lawn
OF the Cudahy residence, another mis-
sive was delivered to Mr. Cudahy at his
residence. 1t came through the mails
and contained a proposition to return
the boy safe and unharmed, provided the
sum Of $4,000 were paid that night
lnspelled by the strain under which
the entire household was laboring, Mr.
Cudahy decided to comply with the terms
offered and ransom his son.
After dinner Mr.. Cudany had one of
his horses harnessed to a light buggy
and, taking the money in ii, left for the
designated place at which it had been
stipulated it was to be left. In the buggy
he carried q red lantern and was quite
alone. Leaving the house he drove five
miles west Of town on the Sherman ave.
nue. road until he came to a white lantern
that was hanging on a. short stick by
the side Of the road. This was the place
where he was to leave the boys ransom.
Alighting from his buggy Mr. CUdany
deposited the sack close by the stick
bearing the white light Then without
seeing any one he returned to his home.
Meantime 1t is supposed he tcap-
tors of the boy had seen the
red light coming up the road
and as soon as the buggy disappeared
they took away the money and prepared
to keep faith with the father. The boy
was bundled into hack and set down
close sby his fathers house, about 1
o'clock this morning.
There is absolutely no clew to the
identity Of the men.
Following is a copy Of the second letter
sent by the kidnapers to Mr.. Cudahy:
THE BANDITS LETTER.
