Thirteen ChargesHav
Been Formulated
Against the
Collector.

NoaALRs, Ariz. Aug. 29.-The examin-
alton of VIM. Nj. Hoey. Collector OF
Customs at this port began at IL O'Clock
this forenoon before Court Commission
er George.
IL. Martin OF the firm OF Barnes &
Martin OF Tucson, assisted by compile of
local lawyers, represented Hoey, and
Col. McLemore of Texas prosecuted on
the part OF the government.
The charges against Hoey were form
ally read. and took up considerable
time The principal accusation against
Hoey Was that OF corruptly assisting
in, and permitting the passage OF Chin
ese across the border.
There are thirteen charges in all, and
Hoey asserted his innocence OF them
all.
As soon as the charges, which were
very voluminous were read, recess was
taken for luncheon, and the
was not resumed until nearly O'Clock.
Only a few witnesses had given their
testimony before 3 o'clock. One OF the
witnesses who testified at some length
was Slaets Ratseht, an old timer here.
His evidence is not regarded as very
damaging.
The serious testimony so far taken has
been given by line riders Webb and
Hathaway, Entry Clerk Cudback and
Special Agent hickey.
Webb testified that Hoey admitted to
accepting bribes from Chinamen and
agreed TO "whack up" with Webb and
gave him three checks, one OF twenty
dollars, oneoi thirty dollars and one oil
ten dollars which was "whack up"
money.
Dickey testified he heard Hoey make
these admissions to Webb. Cudback
testified that he had seen suspicious vis-
its of Cinnamon to Hoey and one sua
picious visit was made by Hoey to y
Chinese house In Sonora. That's the
substance of the testimony.

THE
PEOPLE ARE
INDEBTED
TO CLEVELAND.
He Holds a Warrant
for One Cent, Back
Salary, that he
Never Cashed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.--Former Presi.
dent Cleveland has in his possession
demand upon the Treasury of the Unit
ed States and, perhaps, may at some
time hereafter decide to present it for
liquidation. 1t is warrant made out
by the Treasury for balance of salary
earned, but not drawn, by him.
This does not intend to be paragraph
complaining Of the indifference OF the
United States to its creditors, but some
thing entirely different. The President
gets his salary once month. In order
that he shall not get more than CSC, 600
each year to which he is entitled. the
checks or warrants are 30 made ont, ac-
cording TO table in the Treasury, that
in quarter he shall get two checks for
81, ,if8 81, and for one month check for
81, 1865 That arrangement would
bring him out all right il adhered 10.
When Mr.. Cleveland was President
one OF the clerks in the department Of
bookkeeping and warrants forgot that
he had sent two checks for $4,i66.68 and
made ont the third one for the same
amount. When the discovery Was made
1t was too late TO Withdraw the wrong
check and substitute new one. In or
der that the President should be fully
paid new check, or warrant, for cent
was made out and duly sent to the
White House. @
Nobody in the Treasury knows what
became OF that check after 1t reached
the President. It has never come to the
Treasury. II may have been destroyed
or it may have been framed as q curios-
ity.
Such small evidences OF debt are not
entirely unknown in the Treasury. for
tho assistant secretaries are still getting
large salaries for devoting q part Of their
time to signing checks for amounts 90
small.
When one has established his right TO
take money from the Treasury, IL ID not
hard to get it. In order that the books
shall be right every cent and fraction Of
a cent must be Represented BY papers
signed and countersigned by many Of
ficers.
Mr.. Cleveland's cent has remained in
the general fund, to be used Tor such
purposes as the Government needs cash
to expend. 1t will accumulate no inter-
est while in the Treasury.

RACED AGAINST DEATH.
Secretary Root and Attorney Gen.
eraI Knox Reach Buffalo.

BUFFALO. Sept. 13-Of the Cabinet
members, Government officials, and
friends summoned and sought by tele-
turned from hopeful to desperate. Senator
Hanna was first found and Vice Presi-
dent Roosevelt was last to be reached.
While Senator Hanna was making his
record breaking trip from Cleveland. the
Empire State Express drew into Buffalo
five minutes ahead of time. for the rail-
way officials and the men in charge of
the train knew that it was carrying Sec
retary Root TO the Presidents deathbed
When the train reached Buffalo at AS
o'clock his eagerness to get to the Mil
burn house and receive the latest news
showed the Secretary in an excitable
manner new to him
Attorney General Knox was one Of the
midnight arrivals. As soon as he reached
the house he was admitted to the room
where the President lay dying. Mrs Nc
kinley was there with the physicians and
Senator Hanna. Mr.. Knox took his fare
the front bedroom. where Secretaries
Root. Wilson, and Hitchcock and Senator
Burrows Were waiting the end.

a fast trip on the North Shore Limited
from Boston. Like the other members of
the Cabinet, Secretary Long said his fare
well to the President and then went to
the front chamber adjoining to await the

VIEWS OF LOCAL PHYSICIANS.
They Say Attending Doctors Pursued
Only Course Open to Them.

Dr. William c. Woodward, the District
Health Officer. who was detained from
going TO Niagara Falls last night on ac-
count OF Illness in his family, talked Of
the Presidents condition yesterday morn
ing as not being hopeless. He said that
the fact that the ply .icians yesterday
gave him solid food wa.i evidence that his
symptoms were then very favorable. He
thought they would not have ventured
upon the experiment if his condition had
not been good.
DIR. Woodward stated that just as a few
days ago ii could not be said the Pres
ident was out Of danger, SO now il could
not be said that the case was without
hope. He called attention to the excellent
and efficient means for stimulating the
heart action, and he thought it quite pos
sible that the President would be brought
out of his present condition and show
more favorable symptoms.
DR.. William c. Fowler. of the Health
Department, yesterday discussed the ac-
tion of the physicians in giving the Pres
idont solid food. in the hope of nourishing
their patient. DR. Fowler called attention
to the fact that in giving nourishment by
anema the rectum had been thrown into
an iniiamed condition, and that it became
necessary to resort TO other means to give
food. He said that this fact should not
be lost sight of in the tendency to blame
the surgeons attending the President
DIR. Fowler called attention to the ne
cessity OF nourishment. He said the
problem before the surgeons was to keep
up the Presidents strength This had
been done artifcially since the shootin.
until yesterday. Then new conditions
arose and they had to try giving food
through the stomach. He said they
seemed to have overdone it, but he
thought the surgeons pursued the only
course open To them.

LONDON, Sept 14-Deep and sudden

CALLED TO THE BEDSIDE.
The Presidents Friends and ReIn-
tIves sent for In Haste.

BUFFALO, Sept BIT was just 5:25
this afternoon when an incident hap
pened that really showed how serious
the situation was Before that there haL
only been the bulletins to show that the
President was growing weaker and that
desperate measures were being used to
keep up his respiration.
For @ttle while there was lull, dur
fng which everyone waited with suspense
that was most intense. Al SIS one OF
the colored messengers, the same one
who last night was sent FOR the doctors,
left the house and jumped into a car
Hisge in waiting.
Drive as fast as you can," he said.
and then whispered something to the
Driver, which made the latter whip his
horses and start them on a run down
Delaware Avenue
1t was almost an exact repetition of
what occurred when the sudden turn for
the worse came at O'Clock this morning,
and instantly the newspaper men became
convinced that the President was dying.
if not dead.
Five minutes after this, while the air
was thick with rumors that the end had
actually come. Col. w. c. Brown, Of
Abner Mckinley's party, appeared with
q telegram for the White House wire.
which Is in a tent by itself. "The PresI-
dent is worse." he said. He is still alive,
though
1t was then plainly apparent that the
President was dying. All over the city
the news spread. 1t was FIVE or ten min
utes later when an automobile came up
at full speed bearing Senator Hanna
The colored messenger had been sent for
him 1t was pitiful to look at the Sena-
tor as he climbed from the carriage ana
assisted by Secret Service Agent Ireland,
hobbled through the crowd hie eyes
fixed ahead of him on the house.
At 6 O'Clock another carriage came up at
the same speed, bearing Mr.. Hamlin, who
had gone for Mrs. McWilliams, Mrs. Nc
kinley's cousin. The latter had been with
the Presidents wife almost constantly
since her arrival. and when it was seen
that the last hours had come she was sent
for. in order that she might be with Mrs
Mckinley during the sad ordeal.
Senator Fairbanks and friends of the
family began TO arrive. Secretary Roet
who had left the house after O'Clock for
dinner. arrived at $40. All the members
OF the Cabinet now in the city were then
in the house.
IL was learned that the excitement
which began at J:25 had been occasIoned
by the lapse of the President into uncon-
sciousness. The doctors saw then that the
stimulants were losing their effectiveness
