CASE TO BE HEARD.
Decision of Justice Stafford This Morn


Justice Stafford in Equity Court No. 2 to-
day in the case of Charles w. Richardson
and others against Thomas G. Hensey
Melben c. Hooker and Melville ID. Hensey,
announced that he found no defect of party
as had been contended and that he would
hear the whole case on all the testimony. 1t
is understood that the final hearing will
begin the first Tuesday in April.
The point decided today was originally
argued before Justice Stafford last Novem-
Der. At that time the court asked that
briefs be submitted on the question of
whether or not an action could be MAIN
tanned by some members of a real estate
syndicate in behalf of ALL against the trus-
tees and officers of the syndicate for an
alleged fraud in the organization of the
syndicate where some members of the syn
dictate resided in other states and refused to
make an appearance in the District Su-
preme Court The decision involved the
question whether the court could consider
a large mass of testimony taken with re-
spect TO a charge that the syndicate mem
beers had been -defrauded out of the sum of
$4,000 by the defendants procuring certain
lots in LeDroit Park for approximately
sll9,GU0 and stating to the syndicate mem
hers that the real price paid was s150GJ0.
The court had under Amusement the ques-
tion whether it could take jurisdiction as
to this item of 81 900 in the absence from
the jurisdiction of few of the syndicate
members. In announcing the decision to-
day Justice Stafford held that all the par
ties were properly before the court and
that the whole case would be heard. 4 4.
1t is said that the decision is considered
of considerable interest in view of its ap-
plicablity TO all land syndicate cases.
The complaints were represented at the
hearing of the question of jurisdiction by
Attorneys Mason n. Richardson and
Charles III. Merilat.

WILL FIGHT FOR THE TITLE.
But Jeffries Says His Opponent Must
Be Well Known.

Jim Jeffries. the champion pugilist, spent
the day in Washington on his return from
an eight weeks tour in the south. When
seen he was in company of Billy Delaney,
his trainer Billy Finn and G. E. Cook his
manager. He declared that he in ex
cellent condition, never better in his life
and was willing to fight any known man in
the world for the championship. He is un-
willing to meet those who have not made
a reputation believing that such match
would be of no interest to the public, and
of course of no profit to either combatant.
While apparently unwilling to discuss the
relative merits of the various well-known
men of the prize ring, Jeffries had no hesi-
tation in declaring that he considered Bob
FitzsimmOns the best of them all and the
one who put up the best fight against him.
Jehries is not doing much fighting now; in
fact. he is on the stage, and after short
trip to Annapolis will go to New York,
where he will appear in theater Never
theless, a good opponent can draw him
again into the squared circle.

ferring the land office formerly located at
Oregon City, Greg. to Portland, Greg This
change was made because of the inconven-
fence of the old office. Persons wishing to

were compelled to pass through Portland

thought that the new arrangements would
facilitate business and save those having
dealings with the office the trip from Port

FEW STRIKERS
TAKEN BACK
New York Interborough
Company Disposed to Make
the Most of Its Victory
NEW MEN RETAINED
Former Employees Who Are
Re engaged Lose Sen
iority and Increased Pay

NEW YORK. March 11.-Realizing
that their fight against the INTERIOR
ough Company has been lost. the old
employees of the subway and elevated
railways to-day crowded the Offices Of
the company seeking their former po-
sitions. Three thousand men applied
for reinstatement, but not more than
500 were accepted. the officials claim
ing to be satisfied with the men who
had nabled them to break the strike
and announcing that in future the
rules as to sobriety would be more
strictly adhered to.
All applicants were notified that they
would have to pass the physical exam
inatton and go to work as new men,
which means that those who went on
strike would lose their seniority and
the increased pay that they had won
for length Of service.
Jencks and Pepper, the strike lead
ers, admitted that the fight had been
lost and advised the men to get back
their positions if they could. AS for
themselves. the officers said that they
would not again work for the COM
pany.
Jencks held the press responsible for
the result, contending that the news
papers had aroused a hostile senti-
ment. The strikers bitterly denounced
their leaders. saying the men were de-
ceived by them.
The service on the subway and ele-
waited systems has not reached the ef-
ficiency yet that prevailed before the
strike, but with the old men again at
work and the incompetents among the

NATURAL CAUSE THEORY.
1t Is Set Forth by the Honolulu
Chemist

HONOLULU, March 11-Detec-
tives Harry Reynolds and Jules Cal
lundan to-day had further interviews
with Miss Berner, but nothing new
was developed.
The theory has been suggested here
that possibly Mrs. Stanford's death
was accidental. An overdose of strych-
nine might, SO the theorists say, have
been taken Intentionally as a tonic.
The slight amount of strychnine in
dicated in the bicarbonate of soda has
suggested this theory. A local chem
ist whose name IS not given has esti-
mated that the strychnine in half
teaspoonful of the bicarbonate of
soda was less than one-hundredth of
grain, judging by the analysis of the
rest of the bottle.
The contents of the capsules which
were prescribed for Miss Berner prob
ably contain more strychnine than
would be safe for a person of Mrs.
Stanford's age. The chemist above
referred to says that If Mrs. Stanford
took two of these capsules for their
tonic effect fatal result was not i'm
possible. The capsules also contained
hyoscyamus, another poison

AWFUL DEATH
OF TERRORIST
Bomb Intended to Destroy
Lives of Others Explodes
in Apartments of Owner

ST. PETERSBURG, March IL
The explosion of bomb at the Hotel
Bristol, adjoining the Hotel d'Angle-
terre here. Just before daylight this
morning, blew to atoms the owner of
the bomb. a man with an English
passport and giving the name of AL
fred Henry Mccullough, wrecked
the adjoining rooms, killed the wife
of an officer and injured several other
dodgers. The explosion was heard
blocks away and created a tremend-
Gus sensation.
There is not the slightest doubt that
the man killed was connected with
terrorist plots. The bomb was of the
same power as those which killed the
late Minister of the Interior, Won
Plehve, and Grand Duke Sergius.
The preliminary investigation of
the police leads them to believe that
Mccullough was engaged either in
packing his effects. as the Hotel Bris-
tol was TO be vacated to-day, or in
preparing for some desperate enter
prise to-day, when the bomb, which
like all the internal machines of the
terrorists was provided with gravity
tubes, fell and exploded as the one at
the Hotel du Nord did.
The police Immediately surrounded
the hotel. mounted guardsmen allow
ing no one to go within fifty PAGES.
McCullough's legs were torn off and
the flesh of the upper part of his body
spattered the, walls and ceiling, which
were red with blood. At the British
Embassy and Consulate Mccullough
is unknown. 1t is believed that he
was a British subject.
