BOOKS WERE ALL DESTROYED
Hermann's Former Clerks Give
Damaging Testimony.
Chief Messenger Says He Received
position on Volumes.

The first time since the trial OF Repre-
sentative BInger Hermann started, almost
four weeks ago, the fact Of the destruc-
ton OF the thirty-hve letter-press copy
books. upon which the Indictment in the
case is based. was shown yesterday when
two former messengers in the General
Land Office testified 10 having torn all
the pages from the books at Commissioner
Hermann's instruction. and 10 consigning
the mutilated records to the waste paper
room.
c. II. Muller. at that time chief mes
senger. said Hermann gave him specific
orders concerning the disposition Of the
volumes. and the other messenger, Alex
ander Foster. now a resident Of New
York. testified 10 having assisted in the
task This occurred. both said. about
three weeks before Hermann's resigna-
ton took effect. February I. 1905

his eighth term in the National Legisld-
Ure as defendant at the bar in cTimi-
nal action.
District Attorney Baker said the gov
eminent would require at least one more
week to present its side OF the case.
One Of the most sensational episodes
of the whole trial occurred yesterday
when District Attorney Baker. after
heated debate with counsel for the de-
Tense on the legal points involved, Sc
cured permission of the court - cross
examine one of his own witnesses,
Elliott Z. Hough. formerly private secre-
tdry 10 Hermann.
Claims Witness Is Hostile.
I wish 90 show he is a hostile wit
ness" declared the district attorney. and
that he has given testimony widely at
variance with his previous statements in
the case.
Witness was then questioned at length
concerning statements imputed TO him in
the record Of the proceedings Of the grand
jury. ia a signed and sworn summary
of his remarks collated by Secret Service
Agent Burns. and IN a formal preliminary
examination by the district attorney, but
Hough could not remember" except in
isolated cases.
This witness has continuously disre-
garded the instructions Of the court and
of counsel said Justice Stafford, after
he had repeatedly ordered ffough to give
direct answers to questions asked him.

The meeting of the House District Com

''Why. gentlemen. the present occupant

But 1 like patriotism that is void OF
greed; that does not measure and is not

The closing speaker was Mr.. Grosvenor,
who devoted half an hour to answering
questions propounded in the course CT
the discussion, especially with reference
TO the cost Of vessels able 10 carry mails
in accordance with the terms of the bill,
and the cost of running them. The mini
mum cost of the vessel. as figured by
Admiral BOwles. former chief constructor
Of the navy, would be 81 200, CO. he said.
and the cost of running Ii $3S4.000 a year
II would, require three or four such ships
on every line to carry on the contract.
and in view Of these figures the proposed
subVentiOn was not great amounting to
only 2S per cent Of modest proportion
OF fixed charges. Not a single estimate
on this point. Mr.. Grosvenor asserted,
had been made in the course of the de
bate that did not misrepresent by at
least 80 per cent the figures of cost and
maintenance of vessels.
