The trial of the case on it's merits

the reading of a bill of particulars by
Attorney Lightfoot for Low, making
divers charges of mismanagement
against Carter, which bill of course
was met by the answer of the attor-
news in behalf of Carter
1t is said that there will be at least
sixty witnesses from Hawaii to be
heard in the case, and as the aecusa-
tons brought by Low go into all kinds

test which has been commenced in the

tion of L. L. McCandless for a title
to lands which are a part of Honolulu
plantation. Also, there is default on
file which, it is claimed, will affect the
would-be contestants. The contests by
the Honolulu Plantation Company, and
by Annie, John and Kahalauloa Will

order of default bears the date of July

McCandless filed his application for

course, an order of default against all
parties defendant who have not ap-

jury Of numbering his WIFE Marie wecker

the jury.

a short time when she suddenly died. He then

that Hoch had poisoned her sister and search

later in New-York and brought to Chicago and
confronted by several alleged wives. During the
trial expert testimony was offered by the State
that Hoch had poisoned the woman by ad-
mnistering arsenic.
To-days verdict was reached I'm less than half
hour Three ballots were taken. The first
ballot was unanimous as to Hoch's guilt. and
then ballot followed as TO the punishment to
be inflicted This ballot showed ten in favor
of the death penalty and two for life imprison-
ment. A third ballot resulted in the twelve
jurymen voting for the death penalty.
We'll guess it's all off with John" groaned
Hoch, the verdict read in court He was
greatly affected. He had been sitting in a stoop-
ing position, but when the word death was
read he turned pale. stared hopelessly at the
jurors and then sank limp in his chair.
Hoch's attorneys will ask for new trial. al
though the condemned man declared he was
ready TO die and would be better satisfied If
they did not make effort to save him.
The reports have been spread that I am

MORTON TO RETIRE JULY |.
METCALF MAY SUCCEED.
Garfield Considered for Secretary OF
Commerce and Labor.
TFRoM r1IE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington May 19-Secretary Morton mas
decided to ask the President to permit him 10
retire from the Cabinet on July 1, instead OF on
September 1. as was announced yesterday. and
Secretary Metcalf of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, may succeed to the naval
portfolio. Secretary Metcah had determined to
retire from the Cabinet in the fall. but the
President would be unwilling to lose him from
the Cabinet, and as the Navy Department would
be far more congenial to Mr.. Metcaf than his
present post, it is not improbable that he VIII
be glad to accept the transfer.
Secretary MetcaIf Is in entire accord with the
Presidents views regarding the navy, and has
always taken interest in it's welfare. having
when a member of the House, served on the
Committee Naval Affairs. In this place he
acquired considerable knowledge of the technical
side of naval affairs, and it is conceded that he
would make an admirable successor to the pres
ent Secretary.
No deci-lon has been reached regarding Mr.
MetcaIf's successor, although 1t is understood
that James r. Garfield, the Commissioner OF
Corporations, is under consideration for that
portfolio Mr. Garfeld's views with regard to
corporations command the hearty support Of the
President. and only the fact that he is younger
than the usual selections for Cabinet offices
might deter the President from deciding in his
favor.
Secretary Morton entertains views at variance
with those of the President railroad rate
legislation. This was publicly demonstrated
when Secretaries Morton and Taft addressed
the delegates to the international Railway Con-
gress the subject.
There are persistent rumors in connection
with the investigation of the Santa Fe rebate
case still being conducted by the Department OF
Justice to the effect that the government will
be compelled to prosecute that company, and
that Mr.. Morton would necessarily become one
of the defendants but it is impossible to verify
the report. 1t is known. however that Mr.. Nor
ton has been extremely sensitive to the criticism
to which he has been subjected by certain news
papers in connection with this case and it is not
improbable that it has played some part in his
determination to retire from the Cabinet so soon
The definite announcement that Secretary
Morton had determined to retire from the Cab
met in the fall resulted in bringing him num-
Der of fattering offers from various business en-
terprices. including the presidency of at least
one great railroad system 1t is not likely, how
ever. that the Secretary will accept any place
which would prevent him from taking trip
abroad this summer. leaving him free to begin
his new work some time in the fall.

ornation of perjury against him, found as the re-
suit of the Dodge Morse divorce case brought 70

view to his dsbarment Rumors that such &C

and private detective
Mr.. Hummels counsel served their notice on
District Attorney Jerome of their intention 10
move next Tuesday before Justice Davy for the
dismissal and ouashing Of the indictment against
Mr.. Hummel. The motion will be made on the
ground that under the Constitution and State
laws neither the grand jury the court has
any jurisdiction, power or authority in the prem
ises because Mr.. Hummel was compelled to tes-
tfy against himself before the grand jury, In
violation Of his rights, privileges and immuni-
ties under the Constitution"
The notice is a bulky document containing all
OF Mr.. HummelS evidence before the grand jury
and d copy of the charges which the Distr1ct
Attorney has filed against him with the Bar
Association. Neither the District Attorney, MI
HummerS counsel, with the exception of Mr.
Nicoll, or members Of the Bar Association would
comment on the nature Of these charges. MT.
NicoL said that when the document was filed IN
court on Tuesday all its contents, including the
charges before the Bar Association, would be
made public. He added that. the charges
filed with the Bar Association were made before
his client was indicted, it looked to him as
though the main reason for pressing the indict-
ments was to get evidence to compel Mr.. Hum
mepS disbarment.

CHICAGO'S RAILWAYS.

Asked
;Br TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Chicago. May 19-The impression prevails
among city officials that the traction interests
and the City Council Commission will never
reach an agreement by which the street car lines
can be taken over by the city. Acting on this
belief the citys officials are laying their plans
TO acquire the traction properties through con-
dennation proceedings If the present owners do
not come to terms.
prominent street railway official confirms
this view Of the situation by the statement that
he does not believa that Mayor Dunno, the
people of Chicago. by a referendum vote, would
approve Of the price put upon the properties of
the traction companies by the experts who
now going over the two large systems and esti-
mating their present value. One Of the Mayors
confidential advisers said to-day that he did not
believe the city and the traction interests would
be able to agree upon a selling price. He did
not think either, that the companies will set a
price, unless it is prohibitive one.
The Mayor is disposed to grant the time asked
for by the traction companies to make their esti-
mates of valuations.

Nev-York and Colon As was announced sev-
eral days ago. when the President decided that
it was the duty Of the Commission to construct
the canal as economically as possible. two
foreign ships had been offered for ST50000.
while it found that similar American ships
would cost 81 100000 and take nearly two years
to build. The ships offered have been sold.

vessels which are required Immediately II
