I'LL LUMBER BROUGHT
FOR THE BIC THREE

Herman Hugo, a clerk of Fl. Hack
field e. Co. ltd, had long siege on
the witness stand in the lumber trust
investigation yesterday. Recalled in
the forenoon it was 5:3S in the after
noon before he was released, and that
only for the day. Messrs. Breckons
and Dunno for the United States had
him load up heavily with memoranda
of papers they require him to bring
into court this morning.
There is no saying when District
Attorney Breckons would have let go
yesterday had not Commissioner Hatch
become FESTIVE as dinner time ap-
preached and suggested an adjourn
ment. Mr.. Hugo's testimony was on
similar lines to that he gave a few
days ago All of the lumber imported
by Hackfelds was from the Sound and
witness produced various invoices. all
of them to H. Hackfeld & Co. but to
the order of some one of the three
defendant firms in each instance
These invoices showed the actual
quantity of lumber brought in.
Witness also produced an invoice for
a certain order divided between the
three standardization & Robinson,
u
The rest of his time was taken up
with identifying orders to Hackfelds
from one or other of the three de-
PENDANTS. the invoice that accom-
panied each shipment when it came
and the bill rendered for the lumber
when SO brought.
All of Mr.. Hugos testimony was
brought out to show that in their
lumber importations the Hackfelds
were simply go-between, the real i'm
porters being one and all of the three
defendant corporations.
c. P. Morse, general freight agent
here of the Observation-Disclosures Steam
ship CO., recalled, was the first wit
ness of the day. He went over the
ground as to the difference in freight
rates and testified that, while ne
figured in shingles in order to make
up the 10000 feet of lumber calling
for the reduced rate, he did not figure
the shingles so that the three defend
ant firms got the rate on them. He
figured the reduction on the lumber
only.
In deciding whether the 10000 feet
were shipped so as to obtain the 81
rate he treated shingles, but not doors,
ETC., as lumber. All other forms. of
lumber except poles he treated as ldm-
Der pure and simple. Though all the
shipments We're nominally for H.
Hackfeld & Co, they were really for
some one of the three defendant firms.
MIR. Morse was excused for the day
at this stage on account of having to
attend to the dispatch of a steamer in
port,

CHINESE GAMBLERS
PLEADED GUILTY

The four Chinese gamblers captured
at the Iwilei wash houses on Tuesday
pleaded guilty as charged yesterday
and We're fined five dollars apiece and
costs. So far, it is well worthy of
note, the present police administration
has not failed to make good in every
one of the numerous, almost daily,
charges of gambling they bring before
Judge Whitney, nor has the decision
of the lower court been reversed In q
single one of the appeals so far taken
before the Circuit Court, where indeed
the original fines and sentences have
been doubled and tripled.
Two of the three drunks called failed
to answer, FORGETTING their Sc bail. The
other one got off with the usual So i'm
position.
S. Sumeda, a hack driver, was pulled

taken of him and suIked considerably
while waiting for his turn to come M.
He had visited the Inter-IsIand wharf
ana left his hack standing outside the
gate, When he returned for II the
rig had vanished. Now. Snmeda had
heard of the great success the present
ponce mad been having in locating and
restoring lost things So he decided that
the >flrst thing for him TO do was to
go TO the station and report his loss.
When he got there, there was his hack
tied up in front OF the building and he
entered joyously to thank the good po-
lice for catching his runaway.

the hack was his. A policeman had
found the united horse and had driven
the outfit to the station, where he was
laying in wait for the owner to appear.
Sumeda explained that he had left a
boy in the hack to watch his horse. but
the explanation failed to explain and
he was forced to dig up a five spot be-
fore he could gather up the reins and
drive away.

= P~TTTsBURG, Nov. l3.--Miss Ida VeDenica
Simonton, who was wanted as a witness
tn the Harry Thaw trial, has arrived in
Pttsburg from abroad. Miss Simonton in
an interview to-day said:
Il can't tell you what 1 win say, hut when

Miss Simonton denies hat she has been
hiding in Paris and London, asserting that
she has been in the wllds Of Africa.
Yes, I know something about the Thaw
case and Mrs. Holman's connection with it,
she said, @and when I am subpGnaed and

is there any truth in the charge of black

Absolutely none, but I'll fix Harry Thaw

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
the NEW UNION STATION AT WASHINGTON.
Bulletin.

All the passenger trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad will
enter and depart from the new Union Station at Washington on
November IL, 1907, and on the same date the present station
at Sixth and B Streets will be closed TO traffic.
The date is singuTahy fitting. In 1907 both wings Of the
Capitol were completed, and now a century later a building even
larger is opened for a great public utility. which did nor exist
az that tine.
The railroad terminal facilities at Washington have been
inadequate for years, particularly at Inauguration periods and
on the assemblage Of other large gatherings at the Capital. Their
Improvement was imperative and so il has come about that.
by the combined effort OF the railroads and the United States
Government, one Of the largest and unquestOnably the hand
soonest railroad station in the world is now provided NOT only for
the convenience OF the citizens OF the United States, but as a nots-
bic architectural addiiOn-tO the great public buildings of the
Capital City. IL is a monumental ediice and a worthy type OF
the future structures. which will make Washington the municipal
beauty spot OF the world.
The station including ehe COncOurse is longer than the Capitol
and nearly as wide. The waiting room is larger than the hall of
the House Of Representatives. The cOncourSe, which is the train
lobby, Is longer than the interior OF the Capitol building. if it were
one continuous hall, and half as wide. II is the largest building
ever constructed for a like purpose.
Within this great structure there is every convenience the
traveller can desire, so grouped about the central hall rs TO serve
his purpose TO the best advantage.
The lofty arChed entrances face a plaza as large as an ordinary
city park, which will be laid out as a plaza and adorned with
shrubbery and fountains.
The tracksge is sufficient for all demands upon it and as the
entrance to and exit from the trains are separated. the confusion
and jostling Of hurrying crowds moving in opposite directions
will be- 6bviated. ~' D." ~ ' I'D.
The bigness Of the station is impressive; its utilities obvious.

Herbert Parsons has been in Washington
since yesterday, but has not been at the

work of the Commission on Codification
Of the Laws. He was accompanied to

Mr.. Parsons tonight. Il have a number
of matters / want to talk over with him.

would do exactly as 1 did before. The
Republicans defeated Judge Whitman by
remaining away from the polls. LAD they

Of them remained away from the polls
because they did not like the fusion
we lost some votes on account OF the
financial situation. In one Of the BROOKLYN
districts the leaders explained our defeat
there az being due entirely 10 the financial
situation. Some Of Our Republicans did
not approve of oNIr fusion With the Inde-
pendence League. 7 believe that il was a
much more respectable union than some
fusions that have been made in the past in
New York. In its results IL will compare
favorably with any of them. We pOlIed a
greater per csnt. ~ the vote than was polled
for Seth Low the Second time he ran.
"Of course the President was not con-
suited as To the fusion: it WAS not necessary
20 consult him. The ISSUES were local. No
great principle was involved

down on account OF recent political happen
