START ADJOURNMENTS
Senate Concludes All Bills of
Pressing Importance

WASHINGTON, April THE senate
today adjourned until Thursday, and on
that Gay will take another adjournment
until Monday of next week. This pro-
gram was arranged today by the re-
publican leaders for the reason that
there are not now on the calendar any
measures regarded as of a pressing
character.
The unfinished business Is a bill by
Gamble to regulate the settlement of
the accounts between the United States
and the several states relative to the
disposition of public lands.
The indications are that there will
be little legislation from now on except
the appropriation bills, and it Is not
impossible that congress Will be ready
to adjourn at some time between May
10 and May 80. The legislation urged
by the president, including the bill
amending the Sherman antitrust law,
which is before congress as the ma
tional civic federation bill. is believed
by the leaders to be doomed.
An employers liability bill is one OF
the measures that stands a good chance
for enactment Ii is believed

During the progress of the bill com

made by Teller Of Colorado, who said
the secretary of war had nothing to do
with the enlargement Of the army ex-
cept to execute the laws enacted by
congress So far as he was concerned,
he did not favor the increase that had
been made in the army

members of the administration fear We

not going to make war against Japan.

HOUSE CONSIDERS DISTRICT
Appropriation Bills Take Day in
Lower Chamber

WASHINGTON. April THE whole
of the session of the house today was
devoted to the consideration OF the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill.

tional interest We're adopted, one pro-
.viding for IS cent gas for all district
establishments and the other requiring
that all outside doors to public build
ings should open outward and that new
buildings shall have four exits.

$50. was passed and the house. out Of
respect to the memory of the late Rep
resentative Abraham L. Brick of In
diana. took a recess until 1870 o'clock

day of Monday when the recess was
taken.

democratic members of the house com
mittee on election of the president, vice
president and representative in con-
sress to force action by that committee
on the bill introduced by Mccall of
Massachusetts to compel the publication

were passed, the committee meeting
broke up and an organized movement
is now on foot on the democratic side
of the house to openly charge the re-
pubIicans with "cowardice in sys-

DUKE TELLS KING
OF MISS ELkINS
Family Council Is Held in Rome,
Where Engagement Is
Decided Upon
Fights for Royal Con-
sent Despite Opposition
of Factions

ROME, April THE duke Of Aosts
arrived here today and had breakfast
with King Victor Emmanuel the duke
of Abruzzi and the count of Turin,
after which family conference was
held relative to arranging a marriage
engagement between the duke of
Abruzzi and Miss Katherine Elkins,
daughter OF Senator Elkins OF West
Virginia.
Although nothing Official is known
it is reported that the engagement has
been confirmed and that it is the in
tention of the duke OF Abruzzi to re-
turn to the United States shortly. II
is also asserted that the engagement
will not be officially announced, such
announcement affecting members of the
royal family being unusual
The duke will leave tonight for
Spezia to resume command Of the bat
tleship Regina Elena.
The prevailing opinion as expressed
by the newspapers here is that not
withstanding opposition and divergence
of opinion at the council the duke in
sisted upon his wish to marry Miss Ell
kins and that he already has obtained
or is in a fair way to obtain, the con-
sent of the king.
The vatican has received a long re-
port from the United States concerning
the Elkins family and it is understood
the procedure TO be followed il a mar
riage between the duke and Miss Ell
kins occurs has been given considera-
AiOn.

HYDE-BENSON LAND
CASES ARE BEGUN
Government Attorney Alleges
Fraud in Securing Huge
Tracts in Cascade Range
to Exchange Areas for
Other Acreage Cited as a
Part of Conspiracy
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, April IA jury in
the Benson Hyde land fraud case hav-
ing been secured. practically all of to-
days session was taken up In the
opening statement Of Attorney A. B.
Pugh. special assistant TO the attorney
general. who is In charge of the prose-
cutton. Attorney A. S. Worthington of
Washington, representing Hyde con-
sumed an hour setting forth the evil
dence to be produced in Hyde's behalf
Attorney Pugh said:
The Indictment charges generally
that the defendants. during the period
from October, 1901 to February, 1904
at Washington, in the district OF
Columbia, unlawfuliy conspired to de-
fraud the United States out of large
tracts of the public lands laid open to
settlers in lieu of lands within the
limits of forest reservations.
HUGE AREAS SOUGHT
I'VE expect to show that more than
100000 acres of public lands of the
United States were attempted to be
acquired by the defendants in the
fraudulent and unlawful manner which
I have outlined
TT will be shown that defendant Jo-
seph H. Schneider was sent to oregon
in 1898 and there. within about so days
he secured titles to more than 10000
acres OF school lands within the Cas-
cade range forest reservation in that
state-and that the defendants Hyde
and Benson caused all of such fraudu-
lently acquired titles to be relinquished
to the United States and used the same
for selection purposes under the act OF
1897. Over 125 names were used by
Schneider in securing the purchase OF
these Oregon lands and not one pur-
chase OF the l25 or more was legally
made"
AS already stated. the indictmen,
itself involves something over 10000
acres of land and the bill of particulars
involves something over $4,000 acres
making a total of over 100000 acres OF
public lands involved in this case.
W0RTHINGTON MAKES REPLY
In behalf of the defendant Hyde. At
torney Worthington said:
Mr.. Hyde has for years been en-
aged in the real estate business in the
selection and marketing OF schoo
lands. and he is still in that business
Worthington said. and you are not tc
take this fact. which is admitted, as
evidence that he was in this business
/ illegally In respect to one very i'm
portant phase of the indictment we
differ materially from the government
1t is alleged that Mr.. Hyde and Mr.
Benson were engaged together in de-
frauding the United States of its pub
lie lands, that they conspired to thi:
end. and it is true that you must FIND
that they did so conspire, no matter
by what means you believe they gained
possession of the lands. before yoI
could return a verdict against them"
