ST. PETERSBURG. April 22-Russian
industry is being placed in a critical situa-

who have been detailed to deal independ-

ARE READY TO PROCEED
WITNESSES HERE FROM CALI
FoRNIA IN CONSPIRACY CASE.

With more than one hundred witnesses
already in the city and the four defendants
and their counsel ready for trial, only the
occupation of Criminal Court No. 1 with
the wind-up of the Binger Hermann trial
this morning prevented the beginning of the
HYDE Benson SchneiderDimond conspiracy
case at the time scheduled on the court
calendar. The date for the case was set by
Justice Stafford several weeks ago, and the
small army of witnesses. most Of them from
California, Oregon and Arizona, were on the
way during most of the past week. f. A.
Hyde, John A. Benson, Joost II. Schneider
and Henry p Dimond, the four associated
defendants appeared before Justice STAFF
ford this morning. and they and the wit
nesses were excused until next Monday, by
which time the Hermann case will be finally
out of the way. Still more witnesses are to
come to Washington from the Pacific coast
states from week to week. and it is almost
certain that the impending trial will be one
of the longest in the history of the local
criminal courts.
Messrs. Hyde. Benson, Schneider and d.
mond are jointly charged with violation of
section $40 of the Revised Statutes-con-
spiracy to defra I'D the government in con-
nection with extensive Illicit transactions In

TO STUDY THE METHODS
EXPERT ACCOUNTANTS ENGAGED
BY SECRETARY GARFIELD.

AS part of his plan to reorganize the
Interior Department. Secretary Garfield
has engaged the firm of Gunn Richa rds

to study the business methods of several
of the bureaus of the department in or

ing there and provide a better basis for

Chief Clerk Dawson and several other
officials of the department.
Mr.. Garfield stated to a Star reporter this
afternoon that the work to be done by the
firm of New York expert accountants is to
extend throughout the department. 1t will.
he said, simply be in line with the work of
the Keep commission which investigated
the government departments recently, and
of which Mr.. Garfield was a member
By this method Mr. Garfield hopes to in
form himself personally as to the exist
ing business conditions, but, he says, 1t will
not be an investigation in the strict sense
of the word. If the advice which the New
York firm may give the Secretary is be-
leved by him to be good, he will doubtless
carry out the suggestion. 1t is understood
that work will begin at once.

no decree prohibiting her subjects from

isthmus in an unfavorabe light But
the italian authorities were in possession

sador here. This included the Impressions

Mr.. Macfarland's Address.
Upon being introduced Commissioners
Mcfarland said the District of Columbia is
indebted to Secretary Wilson for many
things in common with the rest of the
country but 1t owes a particular debt for
the aid which he has given to the school
gardening work. This plan for training
at once the sense of beauty and the sense
of duty he said, owes much of it's sue
cess to the leadership of Miss Sipe typi-
cal representative of our public school sys-
TEN and of this normal school. who has
had the cooperation of other school Off
Gals and teachers and of the scholars, all
OF them giving money and time. Now
they are to have a modest assistance from
the municipality. which 1 hope may be
largely increased in the future. Private
initiative, however. is the most important
thing in such undertaking, and | trust
may be more and more active and produc-
tive in this enterprise. School gardens have
I~kl, 1n,-o
helped to beautify this beautiful city. 1t
Is to be hoped that the number of such
gardens will constantly multiply. and also
that window-box plants may appear In our
house fronts. In other cities, especially
abroad. window-box flowers are frequently
seen, and add greatly to the civic beauty.
Every citizen can help in this matter, and
thus beautify the national capital"
Mr. Macfarland's address was followed by
music and the addresses of the two other
speakers named
