mitted to Col. Benjamin Lockwood,
commandant at Fort Douglas, and
Capt. A. S. Brooks, also stationed at

ton with the conduct of the two Off
GERS toward Mrs. Samuel Newhouse and
party when Mrs. Newhouse, wife OF
a Salt Lake capitalist, visited the fort
in an automobile with a party OF
friends last FEBRUARY. Mrs. Newhouse
complained that Capt. Brooks, though
the automobile was proceeding
through the fort grounds at only mod
crate speed, drew a pistol and forced
the party to come to a halt. Mrs.
Newhouse appealed to Col. Lockwood
and complained that he offered her
40 satisfaction. Capt. Brooks claimed
that the party was going at such speed
that he feared for the safety of his
little child. In the reprimand Secre-
tary oliver says that Capt. Brooks

Lockwood should have shown more
courtesy in the matter. After Mrs.
Newhouse had made her complaint the

the HERMAN FRAUD
INTEREST IN PROCEEDINGS IS
GIVEN IMPETUS.
DEFENDANT CONTRADICTS HIMSELF
He Admits, on Cross-Examlnatlop,
That His Son, Schiller, Had
Made Entry.

Washington.-Interest In thetripl
of Binger Hermann for destroy
ing public records received a de-
cided impetus when the defendants,
who had been testifying In his own
behalf for the past five days, was put
under cross.examination shortly be-
fore the close of the court Tuesday.
After saying positively that no mem
bers of his family had acquired pub
lie lands during his administration,
Mr.. Hermann qualified the statement
by admitting that his son, Schiller, had
made a homestead entry, to which
title had not yet been acquired; thai
Schiller had purchased three such
entries before patent had been Is
sued to the claimants, ana that these
purchases had been acquired for 49,
900 in gold by the defendant to re-
lieve Schiller's embarrassed financial
condition.
Mr.. Hermann admitted that he had
acquired 10000 acres Of public lands
in Oregon when he was receiver OF
public moneys at the Rosebud land
office. This, he maintained, was not
the cause of his losing that position.
The records of these transactions. as
we'll as those relating to the claims
purchased by Schiller, were made ex-
hibit in the case. In the latter mat
ter Mr.. Hermann had written a mem
orandum directing the patents to be
mailed to his son. A regulation OF
the land office forbidding the giving
out of information in advance and
also another fo%rbidding any officer or
employee or members Of their families
from acquiring government lands was
placed in evidence by Mr.. Baker. The
cross-examination Of MI. Hermann
will be continued today.

Washington.-President Roosevelt
has written a letter to William

of fifty American paintings to the

gift, writes the president, combined
with others, will form the cornerstone
for a national gallery of art. In this
connection the president expresses the
belief that a special building to shelter
these American pictures has become
a necessity. In this way, he adds, a
great national art gallery could be
created and would furnish an incentive
for other gifts similar to the Evans
collection.
