MYSTERY SOLVED.
Cotton Securities Were Sold by ]. Dali
zell Brown.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. l0.-The Call
says today:
The mystery OF the Cotton securities
has been solved. They were sold by
j. d. Robertson at the direction OF j.
Dalzell Brown for the California Safe
Deposit & Trust Company. The securi-
ties were handled by the brokerage firm
of L. F. Hutton & Company Of 400 Cali
fornia street, whose books tell the tale
in figures that do not lie. They tell the
tale that Brown has long concealed.
They show that while Brown was pos.
ing as a substantial and honest banker
at California and Montgomery streets
the record OF his infamy lay indelibly
inscribed in the ledgers of the brokerage
house but a few doors away.
The discovery was made yesterday by
Oscar Cooper, attorney for Walter Bart
nett, who visited the office of Hutton &
Company and inspected the books on
behalf Of his client. Cooper has claimed
all along that Bartnett knew nothing in
regard to the disappearance Of the bonds,
and he has scored heavily by passing the
matter up to the very door Of Brown.

EXPERT FEES CUT.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The bills of
two Of the alienists who gave expert tes-
timony in the first Thaw trial have
been cut by the comptroller. The bill
of DR.. Austin Flint was cut $292.50, this
amount having been wrongfully charged,
the comptroller holds.
DIR. Flint's schedule charges for such
services is 800 day for testifying and
SIS an hour for all other service, such
as consultations, time spent in waiting
to be called to the stand, etc. DR.. Flint
charged an hour and half each for var
ious trips from his home to the criminal
court building which trips the comp
troller says can be easily made in 45
minutes. For this reason l9a hours time
at SIS an hour was cut out Of the bill.
DR.. Flint's bill amounted to $53l5. The
bill Of DR.. Carlos Mcdonald was also cut
$255 for the same reason that the cut
was made in Dr. Flint's bill.

ATTORNEY GENERAL REPLIES
Recommends That Persons Take no Ac-
tion or Expense on Themselves in
Regard to Matter Except on Advice of
Counsel of High Standing.

WASHINGTON, Jan. TO- Attorney
General Bonaparte recently received a
number Of letters relating to the satus
of lands held under the railroad and
wagon road grants in Oregon, which
have not been disposed of by grantees,
and asking if the present holders "Have
to sell the same to actual settlers only,
at a rate not exceeding $40 per acre." The
Attorney general has replied that pro-
eeeiings will shortly be taken to deter
mine the rights and responsibilities of
the Southern Pacific company's holding
title to the lands mentioned. Further
than this the attorney general says he
is not authorized by law nor permitted
by the practice of the department to
speak. He recommends that the writers
take no expense on themselves in regard
to the matter except on advice of counsel
of unblemished reputation and high
standing.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.--The repeal
Of what has been denominated by some
jurists as the most peculiar law in the
United States" is the idea of joint
resolution introduced today by Birdsall
of Iowa. The law in question is a New
Mexico statute, which has been in force
for five years, under which all damage
suits against New Mexican railroads for
personal injuries must be brought in the
courts of that territory and before the
expiration of 80 days from the date of
the accident, failing which the railroad
concerned may itself enter suit against
the injured person and obtain judgment
of noliability. Representative Birdsall
stigmatized the law as "the strangest
monostrosity on American statute

DEPOSIT MONEY.
Many People Again Taking Money to
Banks.

NEW YORK. Jan. l0.--More people
crowd the corridors OF the savings banks
OF New York these days than were to
be found there during the height Of the
financial furry when thousands OF
frightened people flocked to the banks to
withdraw their savings.
The crowds are not there to with
draw money, but to deposit it. The
savings banks OF the city did not suffer
from the furry to any extent, for all of
them promptly issued notice requiring
from 80 to 60 days notice of withdrawal
of funds. In every savings bank in the
city, according to bankers, thousands of
those who gave notice OF withdrawal
have since cancelled it. while other thou.
sands are rushing to place their money
in the banks that they may receive in
terest for the period which began Jan
uary l. While most of the savings banks
have not yet withdrawn the notices re-
quired, preferring to see what amount will
be withdrawn when this notice expires,
they are paying out money to all who
need it regardless of the requirement.
Some of the banks sent out notices some
time ago notifying all those who had
filed notice of withdrawal at the expira-
tion OF sixty days, that they could OBJ
tain whatever money was actually requir-
ed without awaiting the expiration of the
period, but only very few took ad-
vantage of the offer and those that did
only small sums.
