Find Dies There.

He told the secret service men where his room was in New York, and there were found the dies for the silver dol laG. Henze denied that he had any partners in the enterprise and said that morally his conscience was clear. al- though he understood he was violating the law.
 ''The real reason I am sorry" said he, lis that I wanted to get money enough to build a flying machine. I have solved the principle, and it is so simple I am afraid to show it to any one for fear they will steal it. The only thing strange about it is that the principle is so simple that. with sci entists and others at work on aerial navigation, no one has thought of it.
 T could easily get the money to build it by showing it to any one, but I don't want to. Then I figured out the scheme to start mint of my own, turn Mexican coin into good United States money, get enough to build and patent my machine according to the models 1 have made and be the owner of it and the sole owner
 This. however, knocks it in the head for the time being I'm afraid also that some other fellow will get the idea. because it is too simple to keep. I wanted to do it all alone. and whatever credit was coming to the in- ventor I wanted it to be mine, with no other parties taking q share"

THE PUGILISTS GOOD FIGHT
 LAST NIGHT
Westerner Surprised Some of the Eastern Sports By His Punch
 ing Powers.

Before the largest crowd evel packed into Browns gymnasium New York. Walter Stanton of Cali fornia, last night gave Johnny Car roll, the clever New York pugilist, 6 facing he will not soon forget, and from the effects of which he will moi recover for many days.
 anton worked on his oppnent's heart and stomach. and when the bel rang to end the six round bout C. roll was in signal distress, webbing and just barely able to stand.
 Stanton was the aggressor in every round, and fought Carroll off his feet at every stage of the game. Carroll devoted his attention almost entirely to Stanton's face and head and although toward the latter end of the battle he landed often, he couldn't feaze the husky Californian. Carroll went to the ropes repeatedly from the onslaughts of Stanton. who never broke ground an inch during the battle.
 Carroll is the more clever boxer of the two, but he hasn't the strength to back it up. especially when he meets a man of Stanton's caliber. It's safe bet had the fight gone three minutes longer the New York CT would have been knocked out Stanton was fresh at the finish and could have stepped off six additional rounds had it been necessary. It was great battle. and the 1.500 members who witnessed it went home immensely pleased with the exhibition.
 Frank O'Brien. the Fighting Usher" made good again last night. and gave Joe Sheridan a sleep pellet fin the third round. Sheridan can go some. and the victor knew he had been in a battle.
 George Kitson and Jimmy Lee met again and broke even with good draw. Harry LOrtz had all sorts of trouble with Jack O'Briem. Jr. boy who has a hayma ker like 9 windmill and is about as good a judge of distance as blind man.

 Rarriman's Defense.

On the subject of the Union Pacific dividend which was advanced at se- cret meeting from a rate of per cent to 10 per cent per annum on Aug. 15, 1906, with a consequent rise in the price of the stock. Mr. Hartman de- clined to answer the following:
 Were you directly or indirectly in terested in any stocks that were bought between the 10th of July and the 17th of August that appreciated?
 Did you or any director buy any Union and Southern Pacific stock in anticipation of the dividend?"

HARRIMAN's ANSWER.
He Tells Why He Did Not Reply tc
 Questions.

New York. Nov. l3.-Edward H. liar
 riman made answer in the United
 States court in this district to the in
 terstate commerce commission which {. sought to compel him to answer cer tain questions put to him by the com. mission last spring.
 These questions had reference to the | Union Pacifc's purchase of railroad stocks of other companies and the 10 i per cent dividend declaration on Union i Pacific a year ago last August. | NIT. Hartman says in effect that the 1 interstate commerce commission has no jurisdiction over the matter in dis pute and that asking MT. Hartman to answer these questions is an inva- sion of his constitutional rights.
 Interstate Commerce Not Involved. The answers of MT. Hartman are set forth in q brief filed by ex-Judge R. $. LOvett. counsel for Mir. Harri- man. The proceeding brought by the commission to compel MT. Hartman 10 answer the questions is to come up be- fore Judge IIough of the United States circuit court today.
 The principal point in the brief is the contention that the acts concerning which Mir Hartman vas questioned did not relate to the interstate con- merce act. but were designed to com. pel disclosure by him of transactions for which, had they taken place. nei- ther the commission nor the congress of the United States could afford constitutional remedy"
 The brief also sets forth that Mir. Hartman does not admit that the in- teTstate cOrmeTce commission has any powers other than those conferred by the act of congress approved Feb. i. 1SST. and the amendments thereto.
 Questions Masnste Objected To.
 The questions iO which Mr. Harri- man objected related to the purchase Of the stock of other railraOds in the interest of the Union Pacific and 10 the Union Pacific dividend. Tn regard to the S2s.ooO.0uO of Illinois Central. purchased at S115 a share. the aues- lions which Mir Hartman declined to answer are as follows:
 Were the 90.O0O shares sold by your- self. Mir Rogers and Mr. Stnlman pooled?
 Was it acquired for the purpose of selling il to the Union PacffcT
 Was the stock purrhased by you at a mHch lower priee than S1T5 with the intention Of turning 1t over to the Un- i0a PscifrE

PURSLANE TAKES HANDICAP.
Defeats Don Enrique For RosIyn Stakes
 at the Aqueduct Track.


 New Yoyk, Nov, 13.-Big fields ia each of the events was the order of the day at the Aqueduct race track, and what was lacking in class was made up for by the number of contest ants. For the star attraction the RoS. lyn handicap for three year-olds at a mile was served up. Many high class performers were on the list, and cracking good race was anticipated.
 The only two withdrawals in the handicap were offset by two additions. Don Enrique from the Patchogue sta. ble and 1ileing from the Mccormick barn. Kentucky Beau set out to make the pace when the word was given and set merry clip for half the jour. ney, but when the light weighted Purslane ranged alongside he quit. The latter then took the lead and in dingdong finish won by half length. Don Enrique was second. three lengths in front of Killaloe Both Lad of LanGdon and Tilcing were heavily played. but neither one was ever dan. gerous. The winners follow:
 First Rsce.-Oraculum. first; Robin Hood. second: Quadrille, third. Second Race.-Alamansor. first; Ka. "a. second; Agio. third.

In the brief the following reasons are given why MT. Hartman should not give the information sought by the commission:
 Did Not Relate to Commerce.
 The questions did not relate to con- merce with foreign nations or among the several states or to any transac- tions in such commerce.; nor, however answered, would they tend to show any violation of the provisions of the said act to regulate commerce or any other law of the United States or any law which congress could constitution ally enact and make operative upon any corporation created by a state, but
