VTCTIH OF PERJURERS.
Senator Mitchell Says There Is a
Conspiracy against HIM.

Portland. Ore, Jan. 1.-Senator John H. Nit
chen has made the following statements re-
garding his connection with the alleged land
frauds conspiracy and his indictment by the
federal grand jury. Senator Mitchell said:
am innocent as a babe unborn Of any COM
plicity in any land frauds in Oregon or else
where. I assert in the most positive terms that
the Indictment must be based upon the tesi-
mony of self-cOnfessed and convicted land
thieves and perjurers, who have been offered
Immunity in case they meet the vindictive de-
sire of Secretary Hitchcock and his agents, who
have by their testimony involved me and others
in the frauds
The prosecuting officer. Francis J. Heney,
filed the newspapers OF the United States with
press dispatches from Portland ten days before
the grand jury met, to the effect that was in
volved in the land frauds. Immediately left
Washington for Portland to answer any charges
made against me by the grand jury, and / wired
Heney that I desired the privilege Of going be-
fore the grand jury to answer any charges
against me. On my arrival in Portland made
a similar request of the foreman of the jury.
I was told by Mr. Heney that could go be-
fore the grand jury. Upon my appearance there
I was told by Mr. Heney that no evidence had
been submitted to the jury against me- then
said that If there was no charge against me
to answer 1 was still ready to submit to an ex-
animation. 1 did so for two hour and a half and
answered promptly all questions.
1 was not advised to what the charge
against me was and assured the jury that 1 was
ready and willing to answer any other questions
which either Heney or any members OF the jury
might wish to ask me, and especially did de-
sire the privilege of answering any charges
that might be made against by any witt
nesseS
Having been assured that no such evidence.
UP to that date, had been submitted, then re-
mained in Portland for four days after that. and,
receiving no word either from Heney or the
grand jury. the latter being in session at the
time left Portland last evening for my place Of
duty in Washington.
II an indictment has been returned against me
I am prepared to meet it before a trial jury i'm
mediately. and in this connection I defy the
prosecuting officer to produce against me one
particle of evidence worthy of a moments be-
lief which in any manner, improperly GRIM
inally. connects me with any land frauds with
any confessed criminals, and l shall demand a
trial at the earliest possible moment.
That there have been land frauds in Oregon I
do not deny but, speaking for myself, do deny
in the most positive and unqualified manner that
I have been in any WISE either directly or in
directly connected Herewith or received any

Seventy -ffth-st. said last evening:
Since the decision of the Court OF Appeals in the
Moschen case affirming the constitutionality OF
the school sink provisions of the Tenement House
law by the old Building Bureau of Manhattan
alone an average of more than five hundred school
sinks have weekly been ordered out

TO October 81 last there nearly 1.10o sanitary

A QUIET NEW YEARS.
CHURCHES WELL FILLED.
Sabbath Calm Bet5ceen Noise and
FeStiUity.

While the first day OF the year Is usually re-
served for feasting and merrymaking. with
change of social pleGsantries, yesterday, the be-
ginning OF 1906 given to Church observ-
ances Of the holiday. The secular celebration.
which began on Saturday night with a riotous
toicing such Broadway has seldom seen, will be
continued to-day. The Sunday which brought
about the double holiday caused a break in the
merrlment, which gave Opportunity for recuPera-
ton from the pleasures of the New Years Eve, and
Will let the mirth begin to-day afrosh.
In most of the churches yesterday special
mons preached. The pastors devoted them
selves TO New Years thoughts and drew morals
from the happenings OF the year just closed to
large congregations. The day for family
gatherings. The hotel dining rooms and res
were Saturday night, will be this evening.
To-day there will be special Inatinees at most of
the theatres The clubs will keep open house for
members and their friends. Luncheons more or less
elaborate will be spread at all Of them and at
some there win be entertainments of various sorts
The old Dutch custom Of making New Years calls,
which has fallen into dsuse in recent years, will
be observed to some extent to-day. There will be
some special sporting contests which will attract
visitors. while many will leave town for country
clubs. The special New Years Day free Iuncheons
in the saloons will doubtless prove OF interest to
many.

GET SAFE R0BBING TRIO.

Pinkertons, Headquarters Men and
p. 0. Inspectors Make Capture.

For the American Bankers Association. CO.
operating with Assistant Superintendent Dough-
erty Of the Pinkerton Agency and Inspectors
Jacobs and Meyers. of the Postofflce Department.
Detective Sergeants Herman and Brennan, of
Inspector McClusky's staff, yesterday arrested
in the lower end Of the Bowery three "yegg'
burglars. said by the Pinkertons to have been
concerned in sixteen bank burglaries, two in this
State and fourteen in Southern States. In
spector Jacobs says they were concerned in
twenty postofice burglaries in the Eastern and
Southern States. The prisoners gave their
names William Smith, Thomas Kennedy and
Edward James.
On November 10 the bank of Briscoe & Tup-
per- of Churchville, n. Y. informed the Ameri-
can Bankers Association that burglars had de-
molished their safe with nitroglycerine getting
$1,000 in currency. silver and gold. Five explo-
sions were heard IN the bank while the burglars
were operating. There were three. They es-
capped in rig stolen from John ]. Shaw, Of
Churchvllle.
From the descriptions obtained the Pinker-
tons who put the cases believed two Of
the burglars were Smith and Kennedy. who are
expert ''yegg' vault and safe burglars. A gem
eral alarm was sent TO all of the Pinkerton
agencies. Meanwhile postof1ces at Tanners
Vile and Harrison. n. Y. had been broken into
$4,000 in stamps being stolen.
Pinkerton detectives disguised as ''yegg' men
have been frequenting resorts the Bowery
known to be frequented by "yegg" men, and in
one Of these dives they found Smith. Kennedy
and Casey on Saturday night. Casey. in "yegg"
parlance, is a gay cat" pathfinder or
'1ocater." who acts as an advance agent of
burglars, selecting banks and postoffices easy to
rob.
At Police Headquarters yesterday Assistant
Superintendent Dougherty identified william
Smith as Gus DeFord, alias Kentucky yell
low" alias "Buggsey" expert vault and safe
burglar who operates with high explosives. De
Ford was at one time saIoonkeeper In Cleve-
land, Tenn. For the last seven years he has
been engaged in safe cracking. De Ford. when
arrested, wore large solitaire diamond ring, a
diamond stud, solid gold watch and other jew
elry. He appears like prosperous young busi-
ness man.
Mr.. Dougherty and Inspector Jacobs identified
Kennedy a we'll known Western ''yeggman"
known among his associates as Hamilton
Jack" He is not long out OF prison. He wore
a handsome gold watch, diamond pin and q
sgnet ring. He is the stick up strong arm
man Of the outfit. His duties appear TO have
consisted Of intimidating intruders while De
Ford cracked the safes. De Ford and Kennedy
had come here to spend their money. De Ford

The plan pursued IN sending daily time signals
from Washington IS follows: A few minutes
before noon telegraph wires IN one OF the rooms
OF the Naval Observatory are connected with a
cup containing mercury under the pendulum OF the
master clock. With every swing a point on the
pendulum comes in contact with the fluid. An
electric current is thus enabled flow through the
wires for an inhntesimal fraction OF a second and
then ceases. An ordinary telegraph sounder in the
