POSITIONS AWAIT MORSE.
There is considerable gossip in local
railroad circles over a report received
here from the East 30 the effect that
S. F. B. Morse, former assistant pas
senger traffic manager of the Southern
Pacific Company. is to re-enter the
railroad. business. Morse, Who is one
of the most popular traffic men in the
Southern States, retired from the
Southern Pacific Company about ten
months ago TO become a partner of
I Daniel ]. Sully, the cotton operator,
whose failure last week was a sensa-
tional affair in Eastern commercial
circles.
Morse. during his railroad experis
ences in the South. became thoroughly
acquainted with the cotton situation
and this fact led to his becoming a
member of the Sully firm, the failure
of which is said to have cost him sew
eral millions which he made during his
short connection with Sully.: One of
the stories that reached here yesterday
is that President Hartman of the
Southern Pacific Company had offered
him his. old position at New Orleans,
but local officials of the Southern Pa.
cific discredited this report.
/. Another story is that Morse has been
offered the position of passenger traffic
manager of the Frisco road, with head
quarters in Chicago.
l.. Bonsall, formerly agent of the
Southern PACIFIC Company at Napa.
who has been appointed travelling pas
senger agent Of the Hartman lines in
Cincinnati, left yesterday for the scene
of his future duties. He succeeds
Warren F. Holton, who comes here as
travelling passenger agent of the Pied
mont Air Line. .

Garniers was not entitled to a piece
of real estate decided to the decedent

HEACOCK WILL
DECIDE TO-DAY
Argument in Land Fraud
Case Is Nearing an End
After Three Days Debate
RULING FORESHADOWED
Commissioner Unwilling to
Question Jurisdiction of
the Washington Court

United States Commissioner E. H.
Heacock spent the entire day yesterday
in listening to further argument in the
land fraud cases on the motion of the
two defendants, Fred A. Hyde and
Henry P. Dimond to dismiss the Gov
ernment's complaint and relieve them
from the necessity of going to the ma
nations given by the Commissioner
during the day were accepted as indi-
eating his dissemination to grant the
motion, unless the defendants put in
evidence establishing their innocence,
but his final decision will not be known
until the conclusion of the argument
to-day
Francis ]. Heney, special counsel for
the Government, in concluding his
argument, arraigned the State officials
of California and Oregon for negligence
in the methods by which individuals
had been able to get possession of
large areas of the school lands through
fraudulent means. and i'm violation of
the purpose of the Government that
these cessions should benefit the whole
people of the United States by being
sold only to actual settlers. Continuing
he said:
The forest reservation act was made neces-
sary by the stripping Of the timber from
vast throughout the country. 1t has
never been the Governments policy to make
money out of its outside lands. but to hold
them for the benefit Of the citizens that should
become actual settlers 1t never con-
tempated that fraudulent titles inside the
reservations could be exchanged for valuable
tracts outside.
The indictment here is valid in spite of the
defendants objection that We charge they
cCnspired 10 defr3ud the Government by three
methods. one or more OF which they claim
were lawful. In fact all were required TO
allege that the defendants conspired 20
Gefraud the Government and that in further
Of this unla wful agreement they cola-
mitteG overt act. If two of the methods
by which the defendants got possession of
the STATE school lands should be shown to be
lawful the indictment would still stand s 10
the third method.

At this point Commissioner Heacock
interrupted with a question that was
at once taken by all in the courtroom
as showing his agreement with the
Governments position. He said:
