said Judge Dunne, you may make your statement
 Did you commit the crime with which you were charged and of which you are convicted?" asked District Attorney William H. Langdon, who appeared personally.
 T did" was the answer in a sub dued voice. Blake then told his story of being approached by Ruefs attor- neys. A. & Newburg and Frank J. Murphy and induced him to approach John Martin Kelly. a venireman drawn upon the Ruef panel.
 "I became acquainted with New burgh," said Blake, "by moving into the office formerly occupied by him. In the latter part of July I happened to go into Newburgh's office and there was introduced to him by Frank J. Murphy. I was shown a list of names drawn on the jury list and was asked if I knew any of them I told them knew Kelly and I was asked to inter view him in regard to how he stood and what his views were on the graft prosecution. Two or three days later Newburgh asked me if I knew Kelly well enough to talk freely with him. l said yes.
 "Newburgh then told me that they had $500 which they would give Kelly to get on the jury and vote for Ruefs acquittal and he asked me to submit the offer to Kelly I did so.
 Kelly at first put me off but the of fer was subsequently, raised to 5000 which he agreed to accept. I reported back to Newburgh that the matter was settled My arrest followed soon afterwards"
 District Attorney LangdOn then brought out that Newburgh had se- cured Blake's attorney for his defense and also his bOndsmen and that New burgh had called upon him and told him that he had nothing to worry about, that he and his wife would be well provided for if he would keep quiet"
 Who came to see you after you were convicted" asked the district at torney.
 MT Murphy came to me and said they believed there were good grounds for a new trial in my case and he said would get $lO,OO0 and my wife be paid $10O a month while I was in the penitentiary if 1 would not say any thing about the matter. The $10,000 was to be placed in the hands of a third party named by me and was sub ject to my order the moment sentence was passed. Murphy had S7500 with him, in notes from Abraham Ruef. made nayahle tO Aurphv and endOrS- ed by Ruefs father and sister"
 Blake then said he had named a third party who was satisfactory to Murphy but whose name was not di- vulged in court today. To this party, he declared, s1O,OOO in promisory notes signed by Ruef was given.
 Judge Dunne deferred the sentenc- ing of Blake two weeks so that he can testify in the cases against Murphy and Newburgh. --

GENERAL SHIFTING ABOUT
The Troops Now In Arizona to be Scattered All Over the Country and to be Re placed by Soldiers From Many Posts.

Washington, Oct. 29.-An important assignment of troops was made today to the Hawaiian islands in pursuance of a plan determined upon by the de- partment several months ago, sub stantially to increase the garrison there. The headquarters band and the first and third squadrons of the Fifth cavalry were ordered to the Islands to- day. There are now but fouD compan- ies of infantry there and that number has long been inadequate in view of the plan to build up a better naval sta tion. It is understood that with the improvement of Pearl HarbOr, the war department has considered it necessary to have a substantial guard there.
 Some time ago a company of engin eers was ordered to the islands and they will sail from San Francisco on November 4. There is a splendid mili- tary reservation now on the islands, providing ample quarters for the ad- ditional troops. It is understood that the plans also call for batteries of artillery.

4 TRIO CONVICTED
 OF LAND FRAUDS
The End of the Trial of the Los Angeles Case at Portland.

Portland, Ore, Oct 29.-Dr. J. H. Hedderly, William Smith and Richard D. Hynes, the three defendants in the so-called Los Angeles land fraud cases, were convicted by a jury in the United States district court this evening. Lee R. Meyer and J. Hunt ley were acquitted.
 The case was submitted to the jury shortly before noon on the conclusion of the charge by Judge Charles E. Wolverton. In substance, Judge Vol vertOn instructed that so long as there was a common and understood pur- pose, persons might be parties to a conspiracy, even though they labored at widely separated points. He ex- plained what constituted conspiracy in the eyes of the law.
 The jury consumed the entire after noon deliberating. After it had re- turned a verdict and been excused, counsel for the defense gave notice of a motion for a new trial and the court allowed ten days within which to make it.

CHEERS WAIT JUDGE TAFT |On His Way Through Up
 state Towns NEW GINGER IN SPEECHES Possibly With a Lincoln, Ne braska Citizen In Mind, He Declares That Good Gov ernment Docs Not Mean Oratory.
NEW GINGER IN SPEECHES

Syracuse, Oct. 29- Republican cheers sounded in the wake of the Taft train which today visited Lyons, Canandaigua, Geneva, Seneca Falls and Auburn. The climax was reach ed tonight in this city with a big pa rade, two meetings and an overflow. There has been no lack of auditors and demonstrations wherever the Ohioan tarried. Taft had a riyel at traction here tonight, in Bryan, whose special car was at the station when the Taft train arrived.
 Taft's arguments today have been pointed with new phrases and illus trated with new comparisons. At Ly- ons, in the first speech of the day. where he talked to an audience in Gil christ hall, he asserted that the de- feat in 1896 of the silver heresy, was victory for good that was exceeded only by the victory of the army in the civil war. The next extended effort of the candidate was at Canandaigua, where he went into an analysis of gov ernment through political parties.
 The vital issue of the campaign, Taft asserted, was whether or not the American people had been we'll served under the administrations of Mckinley and Roosevelt. T sometimes think" he explained, that we fail to appre- ciate what governing means. It does not mean oratory; it does not mean power in debate and does not mean the advancement of plausible theories, but it means the power of efficient performance"
 At Geneva Judge Taft had large audience, composed largely of those interested in labor. He said The re- publican party has recognized that in functions that are too broad have sometimes been issued in labor dis putes. That puts labor at a disadvan- tage and therefore ought to be dis cOuraged as much as possible
 Judge Taft was resting when the train reached this city and he was not disturbed until 8 o'clock, the hour for the first meeting. The Alhambra, the largest hall in the city was filled and the police had a hard time keeping back those who fought for admittance. Judge Taft again gave the strongest endorsement to Governor Hughes. Fol- lowing the meeting at the Alhambra he was escorted to Turner hall where he addressed an audience composed largely of Germans.

SHORT STOP AT SYRACUSE
Long Enough for His Initia- ton Into a Boosters Club andHave His Name Turned
 Into Indian Language--He
 Left a Big Crowd Hoarse.

Syracuse, \. Y, Oct. 29.-Having de- livered in this city tonight the last speech in his campaign of the Empire state, Bryan is now speeding westward and in the morning will make another invasion of ohio.
 A feature in connection with Bryan's arrival here was his initiation in his private car into the Order of the Mys- tique Krews, of HanOono, the Syra- cuse Boosters club. According to
 rules, he was given the Indian name of
 Heap Big Talk PapOose of the Platte"
 which, interpreted means Boy Orator of the Platte"
 The Bryan special arrived here early
 this evening and found a big crowd on | hand to welcome the candidate. In response to the demand of the many present, Bryan stopped on the station platform long enough to shake hands with several hundred persons who
 crowded about him. He was then hur- ried away for two addresses scheduled
 for the evening.
 The principal gathering was at Wiet- ing opera house, where Judge Alton B.
 Parker also spoke. Judge Parker laud-
 ed Bryan in a speech. which contained
 also much criticism of Taft and Gov ernor Hughes. The great crowd cheer
 ed itself hoarse when he concluded a tribute to Bryan.
 Bryan called attention to the fact that the campaign was drawing to a
 close and that the republicans were re- sorting to threats of a panic in case
 he is elected.

The Land Leeches Are Worse Than the
Snakes or Mosquitoes.
1t is nearly always the case that ex-
ceedingly beautiful countries are over
run by different kinds Of pests. Beau
tiful Ceylon has mosquitoes said to be
the most adroit and audacious in the
world and snakes and a thousand more
plaques of poor human beings, but the
worst of them all Is a species of leech.
The Ceylon land leech is a thin crea-
ture about two inches long and very
nimble and flexible. 1t will crawl up a
mans leg and, travelling underneath
the clothing. will climb as high as the
throat. These leeches do not crawl like
the leeches that are known to medi-
cine, but rear themselves up on their
tails to watch for prey and walk OF to
attack it with amazing rapidity. In
walking through the jungle hosts OF
them may be seen by the roadside,
where they wait to victimize cattle.
Horses, it is said, are driven half wild
by them, as also are palanquin bearers
and coolies. whose bare legs are their
favorite resort, the mems hands being
too engaged to pull them off. The
leeches may be seen hanging round
their ankles, from which tiny trickles

that life as we know it now will al

When this attraction shall fail, the
earth, according to the Swede, will

Iona Eliuhts of Birds.

Birds of passage make their longest
fight somewhere near Boring strait
A naturalist says that probably the
longest continuous fight made by the
feathered travellers in their peregrina
lions is accomplished by some of the
shore and water birds that nest in the
islands of Boring sea and spend the
winter at Hawaii and Tanning island
1900 miles away. As some of the birds
live entirely on the shore and are
probably unable to rest on the surface
of the water. they must accomplish the
whole distance in single flight, yet
they make their way to their destina
ton with absolute precision.-Chicago
