The hearing in the case of the Uni
ted States against Henry F. Bloom,
charged with soliciting funds for politi-
cal purposes. came up this morning be-
fore Commissioner Howe in the federal
building.
Assistant District Attorney Foster
appeared for the government and Leigh
Clark TO rthe defendant.
Captain Bloom was on hand prompt
IL at 9 O'Clock. the hour called for the
hearing. He did not appear to be dis
turbed in the slightest degree. but re-
garded the whole proceedings from a
decidedly humorous standpoint.
Only one witness was examined.
That was Col. James MARI who is said
to have made the original affidavits on
which the prosecutions were based.
After stating that he was connected
with the government in the official
capacity as inspector of customs. he
testified that one day in h month OF
February 1898 he and Bloom had some
conversation at the bridge where Mari
was on duty. Bloom asked him if he
had received one of the circular let
ters issued by the republican campaign
committee of Ohio and the witness re-
piled that he had. Bloom then asked
him if he was going to contribute any
thing to that campaign and the witness
replied that he was not. Bloom then
said that h collector vas DESTROYS OF
making up a fund and the he (Bloom)
had contributed. He had given the
money to the collector and if Mari
wished to do so he could do the same
Witness said that he i not consider
that it was a solicitation at the time
did not think SO now and had never
claimed that it was:
This was all the testimony offered
and district attorney Foster closed the
case for h government.
Commissioner How stated that the
government had failed to make out a
case against the defendant and there
upon discharged him.
After the hearing Captain Bloom said
to a reporter for The Herald:
THE charges and the way in which
the cases have been prosecuted against
Captain Dillon and myself are peculiar
in several respects. The principal wit
ness mad the affidavit charging me
with soliciting for the campaign fund
and stated in his affidavit that / solicit
ed him on two occasions. Yet when he
took h witness STAN this morning he
swore that 1 had never solicited him on
the subject. The public can draw its
own conclusions with the facts before
it. 1t has been a piece of spite work
from the beginning n the public will
understand that if the charges were
true they would have\been proved be,

WARD MURDER CASE.

Clothing Supposed to Belong to
Shepard Boys In Found.
Deadwood, s. D., Sept. 26.-In lone
ly cabin up the gulch, short distance
from the place where Lee Sheppard is
supposed to have been found buried in
the garden of w. H. Ward, has been
discovered some clothing, supposed to
have been worn by one of the Sheppard
boys at one time. An ex-policeman
who has been working on the Ward
case for some time, found an overcoat,
with fur collar and cuffs, a Turkish
towel covered with blood, which had
turned black with age, a boys cap and
a pair of overshoas. The towel when
placed in water turned the water blood
red, and an examination will be made
to determine whether or not it is the
blood Of a human being. Ward, who
owns this little cabin, is supposed to
have hidden some of his alleged mis-
deeds there. His trial will not come off
for possibly three weeks.

Il Overnme emit officials After the Money
Elnbezzlcd by Capt. Carter.
Chicago, Sept. %. -.- Government Of
ficials, says the Chronicle, have learned
that $500, 600, said to be part of the
money embezzled by Oberlin NJ Carter,
now serving a five-year sentence at
the Fort Leavenworth penitentiary, re-
sently has been taken from Chicago
repositories to some Eastern city, and
that secret service men have gone to
the place to seize the funds.
Last week government authorities
located 100000 in cash and securities
in safety deposit vault at Hunting
ton, w. Va, and during July real es-
tate worth $4,000 conveyed by Carter
to brother and uncle was impounded
by appointment of receivers. The
present location of the 100000, which
consists of cash and securities, has not
been made public Marion Erwin, spe-
cial assistant attorney general of the
United States, who came here to tle
proceedings against former Capt.
Carter, left suddenly to follow up the
whereabouts of 100000, which, he said,
che had found on deposit in Chicago
until recently United States District
Attorney Sol Bethea and Lawyer
Whitney, local receiver in the case, in
speaking about the matter, said it was
expected all the stolen funds would
be found in a short time.

Not According to Facts.
SIGN HIS OWN COMMISSION.
Rather Unique Proposition for
President ROOsevelt to Face.

Milwaukee. Sept. 81. - One Of the duties to
be performed by Maj. Gen. Arthur Macarthur,
as a member of the board of officers at Wash
ington which is to pass upon certain recon-
mendations for promotions medals, and other
things, will be to determine whether Presi-
dent Roosevelt shall be given a rank far be-
low that which he now holds-brevet briga-
aier general, Of volunteers, for services per-
formed at Santiago.
This will probably be the first time in the
history of this country at least, if the recon-
mendation is granted, that the president has
been called upon to sign his own commits
sion. The board will simply be obliged to
sit in judgment upon the acts performed long
before Roosevelt was president.
1t was reported by military man, who
is qualified to speak with intelligence upon
such subjects that the board of which Maj.
Gen. Macarthur will be president, will con-
slider the matter just the same as it would
were the president simply colonel of vol
unteers.

COLLAPSE WAS A BIG SURPRISE
ASSASSIN SAYS HE IS SORRY EOR
MRS, M'KINLEY AND HIS
FATHER

Auburn, N. Y, Sept. 20. = Czolgosz,
President McKinley's murderer, col
lapsed when he entered the prison.
Two deputy ,sheriffs were compelled to
practically carry him. He was. placed
in a sitting posture on the bench while
the handcuffc were being removed, but
he fell over and moaned and groaned,
evincing the most abject terror. AS
soon as the handouts We're unlocked
the man was dragged into the princi-
pal keepers Office. AS in the case of
all prisoners, the officers Immediately
proceeded to strip him and put on
new suit Of clothes. During this opera
ton Czolgosz cried and yelled, making
the prison corridors echo with evil
dences of his terror. The prison ply
stefan, DR.. John Germ, examined the
man and ordered his removal to the
cell in
The Condemned Row,
which he will occupy until he is taken
to the electric chair. The doctor de-
clared that the man was suffering from
fright and terror, but said that he was
shamming to some extent. The col
lapse Of the murderer was q surprise
to every one. En- route from Buffalo
he showed no indication of breaking
down. He ate heartily of sandwiches
and smoked cigars when not eating.
He talked some and expressed regret
for his crime. He said: II am espe-
cially sorry for Mrs. Mckinley" He
reiterated his former statement that
he had no accomplices.
To Jailer Mitchell he sent this mes
sage to his father:
"Tell him am sorry I left such a
bad name for him.
Czolgosz was in normal condition In
the afternoon and seemed to have fully
recovered from his collapse.
