Is RELEASED ON BAIL
COURT REDUCES AMOUNT OF
JoOsT II. sCHNEIDER's BOND.
Security for His Appearance Given in
Sum of $12, OOo-Illegal
Arrest Alleged.

Justice Pritchard, in Criminal Court No
1, late yesterday afternoon reduced bail in
the case of Joost H. Schneider of Tucson,
ArZ., who recently was indicted and ar
rested here for alleged completely in pub
lie land frauds in the west, from $4,000
to $4,000. A bonding company qualified as
surety, and Schneider started for his home
A petition for writ of habeas corpus was
the means employed in getting Schneider
before the court. The petitioner alleged
illegal arrest and excessive bail The for
mer point was waived temporarily in order
to avoid delay.
Schneider's attorneys argued that the
joint Indictment naming their client with
F. A. Hyde, ]. A. Benson and II. C. Di-
mond all of San Francisco, contained no
allegation that Schneider ever did any act
in pursuance of the conspiracy, save for
the general allegation that the four men
conspired and that Schneider was an en-
ployee of the principals, Hyde and Benson
1t was also stated that only $4,000 bail
had been fixed for Hyde and Dimond on a
former indictment charging bribery.
Mr.. Pugh's Argument.
A. B. Pugh, special counsel for the gov
eminent in the land fraud investigation.
argued that there were 10000 acres involv-
ed in this one indictment, and that there
We're hundreds of thousands of acres of
public lands involved in the whole scheme
of the alleged conspiracy. He said that
the scheme was fraudulently to secure
title TO lands embraced in forest resarva-
tons in the states of California and Ore
gon and then, under the lieu land law,
to relinqush these fraudulent titles for
lands outside of the reserve areas of much
higher value. Schneiders part, it was al
legged, was to secure purchasers of the
lands in a fraudulent manner by paying
the ma small sum, and, after these lands
had been exchanged, the titles were trans
ferred from the dummy purchasers to
the principals in the alleged conspiracy.
Assistant United States Attorney Adkins
explained that the indictment embraced
forty-two counts, each constituting a con-
spiracy, for each of which the penalty
might be two years in prison and a fine
of $4,000 and even the court smiled at
the suggestion of what the cumulative
penalties might aggregate.
Appeal Of Defendants Counsel.
Counsel for the accused argued that
Schneider was poor man. that he came
to Washington voluntarily and, counsel was
informed, the defendant never had received
any benefit from the alleged conspiracy
other than his wages as an employee
Schneider, he said, came here with the
knowledge that he was involved and came
under the protection of the court, and
the object of the government seemed to
be to keep him in jail indefinitely The
court sustained an objection to the govern
ment's reference to Schneiders alleged re-
fusal to answer certain questions before
the grand jury and reduced the bail.
Attorneys Cole and Donaldson and S. E.
Hazard appeared for the petitioner.

HOKEMEIER WILL LEAD HUNT

Tireless Promoter of Former Battues

Der of Hunters Will Really Spike Up

Henry "A. Hokemeier is organizing
another wolf hunt in Anoka county.
Hunters will smile when they learn this,
for Hokemeier's wolf hunts have been
SO full of promise and so barren of re-
suits as to make them farcical. The
general supposition is that not a wolf
was even seen at these proposed bat
tues, in which wolves were to be slaugh-
tered by the score; but Mr.. Hokemeir
declares positively that at the last hunt
two wolves were killed and several
more were seen. ~
"There are more wolves in the coun-
try northeast Of Minneapolis than ever
before,' says the mighty hunter
"Why, they are killing several every
year within the city limits of Mime

number of animals can be secured by
a well organized hunt. AS soon as the

guns will be limited. We don't want
