Board of Inquiry Is Making
an Investigation Concern
inc Disaster on Missouri
LITTLE PROGRESS MADE
Officers at Fault Are All
Dead and Blame for Acct
dent May Never Be Fixed

PENSACOLA, Fla, April 10. = The
court of inquiry to examine into the
cause of the explosion on the battle
ship Missouri on Wednesday, In which
thirty-two officers and men lost their
lives. recOnvened on the battleshiD to-
day after an adjournment yesterday to
attend the funeral services. Admiral
Coghlan of the Caribbean squadron is
president of the court, and the men,
bers of the court have been selected,
as far as possible, from vessels of other
squadrons IT is not expected, how
ever, by those who are familiar with
the circumstances, that the court viii
recommend any proceedings in the
case, inasInuch as those who are pre-
surned- to be at fault were the turret
officers. and they were killed by the
explosion. The bodies of the victims
are being sent away as fast as their
relatives make the requests. 1t is ex-
pected that some of the sixteen bodies
inferred yesterday will be .disinterred-
There are no developments to-day ex-
cept bringing to light the disappear
dnce of A. w. Boughard, a seaman
who was in the turTet. Two seamen
who were on the afterdeck say they
saw a mans body blown through the
hole in the top of the turret and into
the gulf. In the excitement of the mo-
ment they made no effort to recover
the body, but rushed to fire quarters
when they were sounded. The real
cause of the explosion probably never
will be known.

that the woman may have entered and de-
parted in that way IL is most unlikely. All
visitors came through the main office and
we never saw or knew any such person as
Elizabeth Dimond" The clerks in the office
were talking about the use OF dummies in

cannot swear positively that she may have
been in San Francisco the days these
papers were signed.
William J. Burns, the secret service
man, was then recalled by the defense
in another effort to get information
as to the damaging evidence which the
Government claims to have in the
shape of forged instruments, but the

Enerney's objection was again en-
phatic but the Government attorneys
laughed.
Mr.. McEnerney doesn't mean to OBJ
ject," said Heney: 'he is only making
little stage play But we object to
the introduction of the letter as self
serving declaration. Wheeler is trying
to get on the record lot Of innocent
professions The letter was excluded,
as were many other documents of a
similar purport offered later.
Dimond's examination proceeded. He
declared that he had had no knowledge
of the methods by which Hyde ac-
quired his lieu bases" the State
school lands which the Government
charges were obtained from Oregon
and California by forgery. He had re-
manned in Washington much longer
than he expected, but he never learned
that any clerks in the General Land
Office were receiving money from Ben
son or Hyde. All his work there was of
routine character, bringing him in
contact with the Commissioner and
rarely with any of the clerks. He had
entered appearances in many of the
Hyde selections, but never discovered
that any of them were based on fraud
ulent titles. In fact the only questions
raised by the department against these
claims were as to unpaid taxes on
some of the base lands and other
He had never conveyed to Benson or
Hyde any information received from
Government employe.
The only matter in which he had
ever represented Benson, the witness
said, was that of the San Francisco
Mountains Forest Reserve in Arizona,
in which Benson got the agency for
the sale of $4,000 acres of lieu lands
for the Aztec Land and Cattle Com
pany, New York corporation. This
transaction is not involved in the in
dictment. 1t kept the witness in Wash
ington until June, 1902, after the bath
room incident
At this point the hour for adjourn
ment suspended Dimonds examina-
ton, which will be continued on Mon
day morning.
MRS. CURTIS ONCE MORE.
Earlier in the day Mrs. Belle A.
Curtis had been recalled by McEnerney
and questioned briefly but lnconclu-
sively regarding the Hyde Benson
pooling agreement. Then Samuel
Knight of Dimond's counsel asked her
whether she had ever had in her pos
session, while she was Hyde's stenog-
rapher, any instrument relating to lieu
land selections which she knew was
forged This brought out some. new
testimony to the following effect:
1 never knew positively, but I had grave
suspicious that some of the names appearing
on documents were not signed by their owners.
This was true Of the name of Elizabeth
Dimond." This woman was supposed to live
in East Oakland, but in two instances papers
to be signed by her Were not out OF my hands
more than thirty minutes an hour at the
most when they were brought back to me
from Hyde's private office with her name
signed to them. One of these papers was n
letter 10 the Land Commissioner regarding
the Elizabeth Dimond selections then pending
before the department; the other was deed
OF REIMBURSEMENT.
