ASK FOR NEW TRIAL.
Motions for Defendants in Land
Fraud Case.


Motions for new trial on behalf Of
the defendants Frederick A. Hyde and
Joost H. Schneider. two Of the alleged
land fraud conspirators who were found
guilty Monday. were filed by Attorneys
Worthington and Donaldson this after
noon.
On account of the departure from the
city of Justice Stafford. who started upon
his vacation today. arguments upon the
motion will not be heard until October
Motions in arrest Of judgment are also
filed. The question there involved will be
argued at the same time
In making the plea for a new trial the
attorneys advanced the usual grounds
that there were errors of law committed
by the court in the admission or reject on
of evidence during the trial; in giving o.
refusing instructions to the Jury and that
unless the defendant, John A. Benson as
to whom general verdict OF not guilty
was rendered, was a party to the con-
spiracy charged in the indictment, the
said conspiracy could not have eN sted
The motions also set up that the verdict
was contrary to the evidence and contrary
to tie Instructions of the court
Speaking particularly of twenty-seven
different counts Of the indictment, the at
torney says:
THE verdict of not guilty as to the de-
PENDANT Dimond establishes that as TO
those counts no overt act in pursuance of
the conspiracy charged in the indictment
was committed.
One of the strongest motions was based
upon the ground that 1.-The long confine-
ment OF the jury during the trial and
after the jury had retired to consider
their verdict had the effect of coercing
the jury to agree upon a verdict.
Other motions were in course of prep
aration when The Stars report closed.

"AUDIT SYSTEM" TO GO.
Simplifed Method to Be Instituted
BY Public Printer.

Public Printer Leech is said to be pre-
printing office a new system of time
keeping and costkeeping to supplant
that of the audit system In connec-
ton with the installation. it is added, ne
will cause to be destroyed Il large guam
tity of blanks which were printed at
great cost to the government.
The Leech system, it is said, contem-
plates adding the totals on each work
slip and compiling the results on SIM
pie slip. which will show the time con-
sumed. There will be no work slip, ex-
cept for certain operations.
Work was started today in the cost
keeping section Of the new system.
Within a few days. it is expected, the
installation will be completed.
The statement was made that only
thirty girls will be required to handle
the new slips This will dispense with
the services Of about forty formerly
employed in the section, and it is under
stood that preference VIII be given to
press divisions.
The chiefship of the cost Ike ping sec
ton. formerly held by Miss Ora A..
Brady. has been abolished, and she will
be transferred to the division Of public
documents at the expiration of her
leave of absence. it is said j. x Wal
lace will assume jurisdiction, while re-
tanning charge of the billing section
1t has been estimated that the change
in handling the work sups. including
the time necessary to fill them in by the
workers, will effect Il saving of $4,000 a
month. The trimming down in the big
printery to date Will approximate $780,

Although Theodore H. Price. Frederick
A. Peckham and Moses Haas. the three
New York cotton brokers who were in
dicted few days ago by the local grand
jury on charge of violation of section 5440
Of the revised statutes-the conspiracy
section-have entered plea in New York
protesting against extradition on the allie
cation that the crime charged is not an
offense against the laws Of the state in
which they were arrested. representatives
Of United States Attorney Bakers office
are confident all three can be brought to
Washington for trial. Extradition will be
demanded on the ground that the offense
charged is not one against the state, but
against the United States.
Price. Peckham and Haas were indicted
jointly with Edwin s. Holmes. jr.. whose
trial last year in the cotton Leak case
resulted in the disagreement of the jury.
1t was alleged at that time that Holmes.
who was associate statistician In the crop
report bureau of the Department of Agri-
culture. gave advance Information con-
corning the monthly cotton reports to the
New York men, and on the strength of
this information they either bought or
sold cotton on the market. Holmes second
trial is scheduled 10 be held next fall. and
the others may be tried at the same time.

ed In its last hours by a spirited contest
over the liquor plank In its platform,
the fight on which had been previously
waged for four hours In the committee
on resolutions, the democratic state con-
vention was brought to a close late yes
terday afternoon with enthusiastic cheers
for William ]. Bryan and for the Iowa
state ticket. The liquor plank. which was
adopted by a good majority, simply af
firms the traditional policy of the party
with reference to local self-government.
D. W. Higbee and Judge C. J. House
were nominated judges of the supreme
court.
A plank was offered favoring local option
and deploring the attempt to again inject
into the politics Of the state the question
ment. In the interest Of harmony this
plank was finally Withdrawn and in its
place was inserted the following:
I'VE reaf1m the traditional policy OF
the democratic party with reference to
local seif-government and home rule
The resolutions as adopted express
qualification over the prospect for the
nomination of William j. Bryan for Pres
ident; commend Claud r. Porter and
Fred E. White. candidates. respectively,
for United States senator and governor;
demand election of senator's by popular
vote: denounce government by injunc-
tion and Its rutative father" and reaf-
firm the ::adltional policy Of the demo-
cratic parry with reference to self-gov-
eminent and home rule
Aside from the skirmish over the liquor
issue the convention was entirely har
monious. The. feature of the opening ses-
sion was the address Of Temporary
