claims that about $4,000 is due him

expenses in the litigation. He as
serts that under a written contract,
since destroyed, Moxey and his wife
agreed to pay him a fee of $25 000 NJ.
C. Chapman, brother of the defendant,
testified yesterday to having seen a pa
per signed by E. c. Chapman. Moxey

fee for representing Moxey, stated that
Chapman told him the fee agreed upon
was $500.
E. c. Chapman, cross examined by
D. NJ Dufey, attorney for Moxey ad-
mitted he had no receipts or bills to
Cured. He said his bill for s3.400 for
the support of Mr.. and Mrs. Moxey

.noval Of Mission bay rocks. Packard
rocks. Whiting rocks, Fifteen Foot rock.
InvincibIe rocks. MONDAY rocks and
Anita rocks; also Centissima and Sears
rocks and two other rocks near the
Mail dock in Bonita channel"
REMOVAL JUSTIFIED
At the time the examination was
made it appeared that the removal Of
Whiting. Invincible, Centissima and
Sears rocks and of two rocks near the
Mail dock. San Francisco harbor, would
be justified by the commercial interests
invoved. provided the same could be
effected at reasonable cost and surveys
were obtained in accordance with the
law.
Mission Bay, Packard. Fifteen Foot,
MONDAY and Anita rocks were re-
garded as not worthy of being removed
at the present time, and surveys thereof
were not ordered.
MAKES Recommendation
AS q result of the survey Lieutenant
Colonel Biddle recommends the removal
Of Centissima rock and two rocks near
the Mail dock (now reported as being
also known as Rincon reef rocks), at
an estimated cost Of $4,000 and $780,
600 respectively. or $40 900 in all.
From the facts and for the reasons
given in his report, the removal Of
Sears, Whiting and Invincible rocks is
not now recommended by him.
General Marshall and the board Of

Ter, the democratic candidate for COVER
nor Of New York, took the witness stand

said be WAS a citizen OF Rosnake Rapids,
n. O., was lawyer and had written sew
eral books. he recently changed his
name 10 the older spelling of Chsloner,
he had travelled extensively, be said, 10
this country, South and Genital Amer
lea and Europe. He said that one Of the
causes for ill feeling thst exists between
him and his brothers was that ct the
time of his engagement to Amelie Riyes,
the authoress, one of his brothers, Win
throp Ast n Ohsnler, sent him copy Of
her book, "The Quick or the Dead 2''
with hostile criticism marked on the

Gussie johnson, whose body was found
in brush pile on the edge of New river,
near Belspring, September II, after hav-

there was no elew to the murderer, and
the Identity of the woman was not estab-

crushed and several teeth knocked out
On her arm was tattoo. By this the
woman was identified, and the fact that
Arthur was seen walking with her along
the railroad track near Walton the day
before her disappearance, finally led to
bis arrest. The woman bad money, and
the prosecution will hold that Arthur
killed her for this. II acclaimed he had

MEETING IN RICHMOND.

The Richmond democrats held q rous
ing meeting last night in the Academy
of Music, with Gov. Claude E. Swanson
as the principal speaker.
The governor, 10 the course of his re-
marks, took a shot at Speaker Cannon.
In discussing bis plank 10 the demo
cratic platform, in regard to reform In
the me- hod and procedure and control
Of the House OF Representative, he said;
81 drew thst plank. Under the pres
ent conditions 10 the House Of Repre-
sentstiges, as l have learned from long
experience thtre, the speaker is absolute
master Of sll proceedings and controls
abs olutely the passing or defeating Of all
bills.
al can conceive of no greater insult
offered the American people than q re-
cent article written by the secretary OF
Speaker Cannon, in which he boosted
that the speaker had refused to permit
bill, petllioned for by three-fourths OF
the members of Congress, to even be
considered by the House. Charles |, oil
England, lost his head and crown be-
cause he refused to permit majority OF
parliament to control the affairs OF Great
Britain, and today in this country, the
republican party, in order to aid the
trusts, combines and monopolies, de-
stroys absolutely the House of RePresen-
iaiives as legislative body BY putting
too much power 10 the hands OF the
speaker. 1t is useless TO talk about re-
form and reform measures until the peo-
pie, through their representatives, are
restored their rightsin the House OF Hep-
resentstives. To do this, The democr tic
party is.pledged."
Among other Thugs the governor dis
cus;ed wss the democratic plank regard
ing the guarantee of bank deposits. DE
said, 10 part:
"This county Is threatened at any
time with money scare, and the failure
of a bank, under present conditions:
even In more prosperous times, would
produce fright and precipitate q money
panic. The bankers present 20 solution
for this condition, and the republican
solution is the creation Of postal sssipgs. |
The postal savings banks will ipjure
large msjority Of the banks 10 the coun-
try, and would make every fourth-clsss
postmaster q collecting agency to get
vast sums of money for the federal
government, which the government Will
deposit in q few large banks In the
money centers.

Senator Daniel said last night that the
case was being fought on the right of
Judge Pritcb ard, or the federal court,
to interfere In interstate business, and
thst II 1t did II would be doing 80 con-
trary TO the constitution of the United
