That his part in the agitation against
Justice Warren B. Hooker, and in the pub
hcation Of charges connecting the justice
with alleged Irregularities concerning ap-
pointments and rental matters in the post
offices at Fredonia and Dunkirk. was due
entirely to Justice Hooker's failure to Sc
cure his appointment as postmaster at Free

Tiffany, Fredonia undertaken, to the as
sembly judiciary committee in its investiga-
ton of the charges involving Justice Hook
er at Albany, N. Y, yesterday.
He declared that he and Justice Hooker
had been close friends for many years and
that the justice, then q representative in
Congress. had promised to secure the post
mastership for him. but had proved un-
true to him.

TO FIGHT REQUISITI0N
SMITH AND WIFE WILL RESIST
RETURN TO NEW YORK.

Through habeas corpus proceedings the
extradition to New York of ]. Morgan Smith
and wife, indicted, with Nan Patterson, for
conspiracy to extort money from Caesar
Young. not to murder him, was vigorously
resisted in Cincinnati yesterday afternoon.
after The Star report closed, before Judge
Smith, who set next Monday morning for
the return of the writ and the hearing of
the case Until that time, unless other legal
maneuvers be successfully resorted to, the
Smiths will be held in Cincinnati on the
charge of being fugitives from justice.
Attorney Shay, for the Smiths, asked for
the granting of the writ of habeas corpus.
and made some remarkable statements in
support of his application. He asserted, in
effect that the Smiths are held without
sufficient authority, and alleged plot to
kidnap them and railroad them to New
York, where, he had no doubt, the plan was
to infiict upon them the sweating process
to force from them something to be Off
cially labeled confession" This he in
ferred from what he had heard of jerome
methods. He declared that beside this
sweating process the inquisition and all
the other tortures of the thirteenth century
paled into inSignificance.
Charge Against Smiths Changed.
In order to have a stronger basis for hold
ing the Smiths pending decision of the eX-
tradition proceedings, the charge VI SuS-
pcion'' against them was changed yester
day to that of being fugitives from justice,
Chief Crawford making the affidavit.
Detective Edward ]. Quinn arrived from
New York shortly after noon. He said his
main object in coming was the formal iden-
LITIGATION of the prisoners. He will remain
until the extradition matter is settled.
Quinn called at the police station and
Smith was asked to come out from his cell
for Quinn's inspection Smith had JUS.
been instructed by his attorney to do moth
ing and say nothing without first consulting
him. Accordingly he refused to leave his
cell. Two stalwart detectives thereupon
struggling, from the cell. Mrs. Smith was
visited in her room in the house of deten-
ton. Quinn readily recognized both.
The Smiths and Attorney Shay held
long consultation in Chief of Police MILL
ken's private Office. 1t was the first time
husband and wife had met since they were
locked up, and their greeting was affection

Mrs. Smith Talks.
In an interview with woman reporter

was practically broke for some time before
his death, hence the absurdness of Jerome's
claim that there was a conspiracy to force
money from him.. She said her husband
had regular income from an interest In a
family estate and also made money during
their travels in various ways, and their eX
penses were met in that way.

NAMES OF VESSELS
To Tell Glass Of Work to Which They
Are ASsipned

The various branches of the public work
that have vessels in service on the waters
of the United States are now adopting dis
tinctive nomenclature, by which the name
of the vessel at once tells the initiated what
service she is in. Thus the revenue cutter
service, which formerly named it's vessels
after public men, like the William Window,
Alexander Hamilton, Schuyler .Colfax and
go on through long list, has adopted the
Indian tribes as It's name guide and the YES
sells added to the service the past few
years bear such names Seminole, Algon-
quin, Tuscarora and Apache. The coast and
eeodetic survey vessels were formerly named
after the great scientists of the country, and
among the older vessels of the service we
have the Bache, the Blake, the c. p, Patter-
son and Macarthur, while thes.newer vessels
have such cognomens as Photographer.
Pathfinder, Fathomer, Explorer, Discoverer
and the like, indicative of the work in which
they are employed.
The fish commission service long ago
adopted the names of birds and fishes as its
nomenclature, and in the fish commission
service we have the Albatress, the Fish
Hawk, the Grampus. Curlew, and so on
through the list. AS vessels are built from
time to time for these services theyswiH re-
ceive a name distinctive Of the service, until
in time, when the older boats are retired, all
the vessels employed in the different work
will bear these distinctive games.
The army engineer service and the marine
hospital service have adopted no distinctive
method of naming their boats. The vessels
In the service Of the quartermaster's depart
ment of the army are named after officers
Of the army who distinguished themselves in
the various wars of the United States. The
larger vessels are named after generals, as
the Crook, Mcclellan, Logan and the like,
and as the size Of the vessel decreases the
rank Of the officer she Is named after also de-
creases, until we come to the little launches
that bear such names as Col Hamilton.

Sergeant of Detectives Mcknight of New
York arrived last night at Cincinnati with
the requistion papers properly signed by
the governors of New York and Ohio, but
found nothing could be done until Monday.
Chief of Police Milliken said last night
that under these proceedings he is bound
by law to hold the bodies of the prison

Jerome's Plans.
A dispatch from New York last night
says: 1t was learned what the district at
torney proposes to do when the Smiths are
brought here. Smith will be arraigned be-
fore Judge Newburger on the indictment
charging him with contempt. Smith was
indicted for contempt when he vanished
after having been subpoenaed for the grand
jury a few days before Nan Patterson was
indicted for the murder of Young.

had temporarily lost track Of them. The
agency Immediately sent two of its men
from Montreal and thereafter the Smiths
were always under surveillance
Four Men Were Watching Smiths.
Most of the time there were four men
employed watching the Smiths. 1t is said
that they were not particularly pleased
with the job. AS soon they got friendly
with Smith he is said to have found it con-
venent to get small loans from them. The
sleuths were always assured that it was
only a temporary loan.
Reports from Cincinnati yesterday that
Smith had promised to make it uncomfort-
able for some well-known men if he was
brought back here were not explained at
the district attorneys office. No one in
the district attorneys office seems to know
where the Smiths got the money to carry
them around this country and Canada for
almost year.
Hyman Stern, the 9th avenue pawnbrcker
who sold the pistol with which Young was
killed, is not going to Cincinnati. Mr..
Rand got into communication with Stern
yesterday, and he will be on hand to have
a look al the Smiths when they are brought
