Hogan Said to Have Made the Bomb
in Saratoga Hotel.

Boise, Ida, Jan. Under date of
Caldwell at p. m. the Statesman's
representative sends the following:
Captain Swain has just made the
following sensational statement to the
representative of the Statesman: You
may announce to the world that we
have conclusive evidence that the
bomb used in the ssassination of Gov
ernor Steunenberg was manufactured
in room No. of the Saratoga hotel

that the details of the plans were prob
ably formulated there 1t was further
stated by the captain that the evil
dence accumulated against Hogan is
overwhelming. He did not feel justi-
fed in making much Of it public, but
he was willing to state that one fea-
ture of it was the finding of HOgan's
shoes that he wore on the night of
the murder. He would not say where
these shoes were found. but stated that
they were wet when discovered. The
shoes had nails in the sOles and these
nails were found to fit perfectly into

CADETS HAzED
BEYOND DOUBT
Upper Class Men at Annapolis Con-
tinually did Things" to the
Plebes.
TRIAL OF YOUNG DECATUR
CASE is ATTRACTING GREAT AT
TENTION.

Annapolis. Md, Jan. 2.-The court
martial proceedings against Midship-
man Stephen Decatur, jr., of Ports
mouth, n. H, charged with the hazing
of Midshipman Isaac N. McCrary of
Texas, and Gaylord Curch of Pennsyl-
vania, both fourth class men, were con-
tinued this morning.
Decatur's case is attracting great at
tention and a desperate effort is being
made to save him. He is a great grand
son of the famous naval hero of the
same name, and stands number six In
studies in the class which graduates
next month. He has some very power
full friends who are willing to help him
in every way. Admiral Dewey is a rel
ative, but little help can be expected
from this source if Decatur is con-
victed.
Decatur denied specifically and posi-
lively all the statements made by Nc
Creary and Church connected with
their hazing. He said on the stand
that he had never hazed either of the
men and did not even know McCreary
before he saw him in the court-martial
room.
The "Hungarian Band"
On cross-examination today Decatur
was asked if he had ever seen the
Hungarian band" He said that he
had, and that it was an organization
of fourth class men who sang and
played the banjo for upper class men.
He admitted that they had performed
in his room twice. The judge advocate
is understood to have information that
McCreary belonged to this organi2a-
ton, but Decatur said that the only
member of it he remembered was Ben
nett
The most interesting testimony, next
to that of Decatur, was given by Mid
shipman F. B. Marzoni of Florida, who
is also under charges for hazing and
will be tried shortly. Marzoni was the
first witness other than the fourth
class men to state that any fourth class
men were in the room with Decatur.
and in that particular his testimony
corroborated that of MidshiDman
Church. He said that while he was In
Decatur's room, Church had come in
and had been told to do number 16'
in the closet, and afterward had been
told to stop. He could not remember
who had given the order, but was pos
tive it was not Decatur. 81
More Trials Coming.
1t is understood the Hungarian
band" reference to which was made
by Judge Advocate Harrison, is one OF
the creations of the hazing system
which the court of inquiry has ,discov-
cred, and that quite a number of the
upper class men may be compelled q
face charges based on the bands com
pulsOry concerts.
The defense in Decatur's case closed
today, and several witnesses in reburta
will be brought by the prosecution. II
is probable that the case will be fin
ished tomorrow and given to the court

ODEu'S CANDIDATE BADLY BEATEN
James W. Wadsworth IT, Nominated for Speaker by Repubi-
can Members of the New York Assembly
Merritt Getting but IA Votes.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. Flames w.
Wadsworth, Jr., of Livingston county,
son Of Congressman James w. Wads-
worth of the Thirty-fourth congress
sional district, and son-inlaw of the
late John Hay, secretary of state, was
nominated tonight by the Republican
caucus for speaker of the assembly,
and will be elected to that office to-
morrow when the assembly convenes.
His democratic opponent will be
George NJ. Palmer, of Scoharie. who
for many years has been minority
leader of the assembly floor.
Mr.. Wadsworth had rs out of 1O4
votes cast in the caucus, Edwin A.
Merritt, Jr., of ST. Lawrence, receiv-
ing Il and J. NJ. Wainwright, of West
chester, Is. The entire strength of
the Republican side in the new assem-
bly,, 1O7 in all, was present, but none
of the three candidates voted.
No Secret Ballot.
The vote was taken by open roll
call and there was no attempt to Sc
cure a secret ballot, as had been ex-
pected.
This result brings to a close one of
the most remarkable speakership
campaigns of recent years, character
lied by marked faetionaI bitterness
and some unusual features. Mr..
Wadsworth was not among the can
didates originally in the field. but was
proposed by Governor Higgins in a
formal statement. and, in addition to
the support of the governor and his
friends, was regarded as having the
approval of President Roosevelt.
Mr. Merritt had the backing Of
Chairman B. B. OdeH. Jr.. and his
friends in the state organization, who
fought with determination for his
election, or, falling that, for the de-
feat of Mr.. WadswOrth.
Interference Resented.
Mr.. Wainwright stood openly in OPP
position to what he charged was inn
proper influence of the executive in a
purely legislative matter. He had the
support of a number of the New York
City members, especially those Re
publicans who were also on the NUM-
cipal Ownership ticket.
After learning the result of the eau
csu, Governor Higgins said:
Il am neither disappointed nor sur
prised. The voice of the people and
of the press has been heard here. and

SUSPICIOUS ACTIONS.
Hogan Frequently Seen in Vicinity
of Steunenberg's Home.
Especial to The Herald. }

Boise. Ida. Jan John c. Rice of
Caldwell has Identified Thomas Hogan
as a man whom he met very frequently
during November between his home
and the downtown district. In fact,
for a time he met him every morning
as he came down town. 1t was HO-
gan's habit to walk out past Mr. Rice's
home and on beyond the Steunenberg
residence. All the members of Mr..
Rice's family saw him at different
times On one occasion Hogan was
observed with a pair of field glasses.
These he levelIed upon the domestic
employed at the Rice home and she
complained about it.
Hogan's Baggage Examined.
Hogan's baggage was all examined
today. One portion was a trunk found
yesterday in the baggage room at the
depot. He had never moved it to the
hotel, though it was less than a block,
and the fact of its existence was not
discovered until a search was made. 1t
is learned that Hogan had access to
the trunk. He visited the baggage
room on the day of the murder.
The trunk, a large one, was filled
with clothing. Some of this was good
and other portions had been worn well.
DNlllC VI TIC ClOlDlIlS llcu HIdllily DeCil
used in mining work.
Fuse Cutter Found.
An interesting portion of the contents
of the trunk was a pair of nippers. the
kind used in cutting fuse and setting
caps in giant powder. They were well
covered with WhitiSh material such as
would be accumulated in working with
powder and smelled of giant powder
There was also part of a kit of bur-
glars tools, including an elaborate and
extensive instrument used in deter
mining the combination of safes. The
finding of the fuse cutter is regarded
as being of great significance, partic-
ularly as it carries the smell of pow
der.
Contents of a Grip.
In a large grip some white powder
was found, supposed to be a high eX-
plosive. The smaller grip contained a
Colts automatic pistol, some cartridges
for same, pair of brass knuckles. an
electric flashlight, a pair of field
glasses, fishing reel with the line re-
moved (the line may have been that
used in pulling the trigger of the
bOmb), and small amount of white
powder, which was shown to be ex-
plOsive by placing a minute particle
of it on iron and striking it with a
hammer.

 The Chicago and Northwestern Rail- way company certified to the secretary of state of New York to an increase of capital stock from $100 1000, ,OOO to $200,- OOO,OOO. The fee received by the secre- tary of states office for filing the certi- ficate was $lOoOO5, the largest fee ever received by the office for fling q single certificate. It Is stated that most of the proceeds of the new capital stock will be expended for extending the Northwestern system to the Pacific coast.
 Nipissing Mines shares rose to 33 7-8, as against % 1-2, Mondays closing price. There are 100000 shares of this stock of a par value of $5 a share, so that yesterdays price represents a to- tai valuation for the mine of more than $4O,OOO 900. Not very long ago the stock was selling under its par value. The tremendous advance in it's price reflects the discovery of virtual silver bonan- ga. The mine, which is located in the Cobalt region of Canada was originally opened as cobalt mine. Much of the output now is said to be practically pure silver. The immediate cause for yesterdays advance was an expectation that the Guggenheim interests would exercise during the day an option to buy 100000 shares of Nlpissing stock at $25 a share. This option was taken preliminary to an inspection of the Co., bait region by John Hays Hammond and his corps of engineers. Their re- port was so favorable that the Guggen- helms decided to take up the stock.

In Lethargy-scaIe of Activity
 Smaller Than in Midsummer.

Smaller Than in Midsummer.
 New York, Oct. S0-The stock mar ket was in lethargy to-day. The scale of activity was smaller than in the midsummer period There was difficult ty in perceiving any defined drift in prices at any time and the narrow movements were never long held. There remained still some disposition to attribute the dullness to the desire to see the election contest settled before entering on stock market commit ments. But a tightening in the call money market offered a suggestion of a further deterrent factor. The rise in call money rates was attributed to the beginning of preparations for the November 1 settlements. These are unusually heavy this year, the estimat- ed requirement being $75,000,O OO0 But there was continued discussion also of the lack of reflection in the bank state ment of last Saturday of the real oper- ations of the week in the money mar ket It has been learned that interna- tional houses were very heavy borrow CTS last week of the trust companies ana thls confirms the impression that the burden of supplying credit was be- ing taken over from the banks by the trust companies and private bankers. There is the belief also that additional credits mus be secured by the interna- tional houses later in the week, when shipments of securities begin to arrive Which were being carried in the Lon don market, but which were closed out at last weeks stock market settlement in London, and on which payment will become due when the securities arrive. There is much discussion in the finan- cial district of the resirability of the inclusion of trust company operations in some form of weekly statement which will make possible clearer view of the actual banking situation. The sub-treasury continues to draw from the local banks with resulting fn- crease of the government holdings of surplus funds out of reach of the mar ket The rise in money rates here did not keep down the foreign excbanee market, and rates were higher.

THE CORN DOLLS A T

Papa, give it to me. Please do! I was here frst.''
These were a few of the things I said as I scrambled
into the high wagon full of corn, while my sister ran after
me. We had raced to see who would reach papa s wagon
first and | being the larger, won. Papa s corn was most
all yellow, but once in a while he found a red ear and
saved it for us, because we thought it was SO nice. He
gave it to me and when / reached the house ] fixed it up
for a doll. First, I shelled some kernels from one end of
it to make eyes, a nose and a mouth. Then j asked
mama to give me some yarn for its hair. She told me to
take the color I liked best, SO I chose a bright green. She
thought / ought to have chosen black or yellow. But I
told her green looked best with red, so she cut a long
piece, and cutting it into a number of pieces, fastened it
on my dolls head with a big pin. l feared she would
hurt it, but she told me that dolls did not feel things
as persons do, 50 ! did not mind. Next she made a dress
for it out of some red cloth and gave my dolly to me,
telling me to keep it on the porch, for she did not like
to have corn all over the floor. I played with it for over
a week, when one day I left it in the yard while 1 went
for a cooky. When / came baekI found the old turkey
pecking my doll, and when ! tried to chase it away it
ran after me. When I found out that I could not save
my red doll, I ran for papa to help me-. he laughed, but
came anyway. But that turkey did not like him, either,
so he told me to let it eat my doll and he would find me
another. He did, but it never seemed nearly so nice as
the first one. -Theon Elinor Gallagher,
