THE ACTIVITY
OF CABRERA
In the Affairs of Neigh
boring Honduras
Guatemala Making 1t More
Difficult to Preserve Cen
tral Am rican Peace.

Washington, Sept. 24.-The underly-
ing cause for the action of Guatemala
in trying to influence Honduras in the
selection OF n president is said to be
President Cabrera's desire to get an
ally to strengthen his position against
Mexico. which government he fears is
likely to pursue its effort to secure
the punishment of Guatemalan Off
cials charged with participation in the
assassination of the former president.
Reports of Guatemala's activity in
Honduras politics has hastened the
conclusion of negotiations toward the
assembling Of the peace conference in
Washington next November. With the
recent signature of the Central Ameri-
can peace protocol both the United
States and Mexico believe the danger
of an outbreak has been averted.
The protocol binds the parties to it
to refrain from any movement that
might disturb the status and thus en-
danger the success of the projected
conference. Officials here feel that
any attempt of Guatemala to inter
fer with the internal affairs of another
sovereign state would be in violation
OF the protocol and il is not doubted
here that the movement in favor of
Bonilla will be kept within the bounds
of prOpriety.

part of the cross examination. Lon
ergan testified that he discovered
while in conversation with Gallagher,
that he was in possession of an en-
velope containing $4,000. The money
had gotten into his pocket book in
some manner OF which he was not
aware. This somewhat unusual cir
cumstance was later substantiated by
the testimony of Gallagher. who swore
that he obtained momentary possess
ion of Lonergan's pocketbook and slip
ped the envelope inside and returned
it. informing the recipient only when
he was confronted with a demand for
payment.
Gallagher's contribution to the
days testimony was given briefly. and
without emotion of any kind. Ruef.
he said, directed him TO find what the
passage of the ordinance would cost.
He placed the price at $4,000 each for
the fifteen supervisors and $4,000 for
Railroad Commissioner Wilson, who,
he said. had assisted in ascertaining
the sentiment of the members, and
$4,000 for himself.
Gallagher told of receiving the sum
of SS5.0O0 in Ruefs office. the money
being bills ranging in denomination
from 800 to $500. Naming each super
visor, the witness said he had paid
the members of the board the sums
agreed upon.
one incident Of the day. aside from
the routine examination, was the at
tempt of Heney to prove that Loner-
gan had been several times enter
tained BY defective in the employ of
the defense, who had, it is claimed,
taken the fallen supervisor for auto
mobile rides, invited him to indulge

night. when the two men were to have
been companions. The so-called detec-
tive = was established. had gained
Loner- ans confidence as an alleged

Chicago, Sept. 24.-b was decided to-
day by Judge Landis in the district
court that the Chicago and Alton shall
not be further prosecuted for its con-
nection with the granting of rebates to
the Standard Oil company on oil ship
ments between Whiting, Indiana, and
East St Louis, Illinois. II was claim
ed by Attorney General Bonaparte
whose letter was read to the court by
District Attorney Sims. that Mr. Nor
rison, the predecessor of Sims in office,
had promised immunity to the Alton
provided it assisted in good faith in the
prosecution of the Standard Oil COM
pany. The attorney general therefore
held il to be the duty of the govern
ment to see that no further steps to-
ward the punishment of the railroad
for its part in granting of rebate be
taken. He asked that the grand jury
summoned to investigate the Alton be
discharged.
Judge Lands declined to discharge
the jury but instructed the members
that they had no further duty to per-
form in connection with the Chicago
and Alton railroad. The court then
called attention TO the statement re-
Gently issued by President Moffitt of
the Standard Oil company of Indiana
in which it is claimed that ii, the
Standard Oil company was guilty of
receiving rebates, no other manufac-
turer was innocent. The court directed
the jury TO investigate the conduct of
other manufacturers and directed that
subpoena be issued for Moffirt.
The letter of the attorney general
to Sims directed him to inform the
court that the department had most
carefully considered all the aspects
of the case and was unable to find
any sufficient reason for any other
action on its part than was indicated
in the letter of August 10 last, from
the attorney general to Hon X. NJ.
Landis. to which Judge Landis re-
ferred in his remarks to the grand
jurS on August Il. Wrote Attorney
General Bonaparte:
You will assure the court that this
department thoroughly appreciates the
force and cogency of reasons which
caused him to request that the tes-
timony in the case of the Standard
Oil be scrutiniZed by .the department
1t fully recognizes the highly appro-
pirate character of the said request
under the peculiar circumstances of
this unusual case. You Will further
assure the court of the departments
earnest wish to cooperate heartily and
effectively with the judiciary in the

mated District Attorney Langdon for
reelection. The nomination of Ryan
was not accomplished until the termi-

Almost from the outset the conven-

vote on the adoption of the minority
report of the committee on platform
and resolution showed that Of the 14s
delegates, 55 were for Mayor Taylor
and "a for Ryan. BY that vote the
majority report, which called for an
Immediate nomination. was accepted
over the minority report which called
for further delay and a conference
with the convention Of the democratic

Taylor's supporters that If they could
stave off final action tonight they
might force the republican convention
to nominate him as fusion candidate.

BORAH JURY
IS SECURED
The Government Outlines
Its Case
A Summary of the Manner
In Which the Public Do
main Was Stolen.

Boise. Idaho, Sept. 24-The govern
ment today repeated the charges in
the case of Senator Borah in con-
nection with the timber land frauds.
The jury was completed at the morn
ing session and during the afternoon
Judge NJ. C. Burch of Detroit, special
assistant attorney general, made the
opening statement for the prosecution.
He arraigned the late Governor Frank
Steunenberg as the central figure Of
the alleged conspiracy by which il is
claimed more than 1000 acres of vir
gin forest lands of thick towering
pines, came fraudulently into the pos
session of the Barber Lumber COM
pany a Wisconsin corporation operat-
ing Il plant in this city.
Burch connected Borah with the
land transactions only as an attorney,
first for Steunenberg and then for the
lumber concern. He declared that
Borah interested himself in all mat
tiers having an outward bearing on
the land claimed by dummy" entry
men, turned them over to dummy
trustees and by them was decided
over to the BdNber Lumber company.
All the deeds went through Borah's
office, and stand in the county clerks
office as recorded at his request. 1t
is claimed that the senator approach
ed the register of the land office with
regard to several claims which were
held up and was warned by an official
that the claims were fraudulent and
should be let alone.
Dummy entrymen claim that they
swore falsely for money in the inter-
ests of members of the timber con-
spiracy. George S. Long. one of the
alleged dummy trustees. will take the
stand and lay bare their part in the
transaction. which form the basis of
the indictment against Senator Borah
and twelve co-defendants
Governor Steunenberg and William
Sweet, a mining man, Burch declared.
put up the first money, $500. to car
~ on the alleged frauds. Governor
Steunenberg intimated that he was in
terested in the timber claims as a
speculation, in induced others TO join
with him. one man approached was
the present governor. F. A. Gooding,
who however. when he heard the de-
tails Of the scheme refused to have a
part IN II.
Borah it is claimed sought informal
tion from former Governor Morrison
as to what lands the state of Idaho
was taking out for school purposes.
The information desired reached the
Barber Lumber company which had
been early formed and was down on
five men were standing in line and
claimed the lands which now are held
by the lumber company which however
strangely did not overlap the states
claims. according to Burch.
Attorneys claim that Borah's case
comes under the head of a misde-
meanor and not a felony, the maximum
penalty upon conviction being a fine Of
$4,000 or Imprisonment up to two
years.
