ALL THE RECORDS BROKEN
EXCELLENT TARGET AND BAT
TIE PRACTICE BY WARsHIPS.
Conditions Much More Difficult Than
Formerly, But the Performances
Much Better.

MANILA. October 27-Although the
scores and figures of the cruiser and gum
boat squadrons made in target and battle
practice. which has just been finished,
will not be made public until they arrive
at Washington, 1t has been announced
that all previous records have been
broken. The Rainbow led in the gunboat
by the Wilmington present holder of the
trophy.
In day battle practice all the warships
improved the shooting made last year, in
spite of the fact that conditions were
much more difficult and that the crews
knew nothing of the governing conditions
until sealed orders from Washington were
opened on the practice ground.
The. Helena, Galveston and Rainbow
accomplished remarkable results in
night firing, some records exceeding by
300 per cent anything ever before es-
tablished The order of excellence es-
tablished according to scores made in
day practice is as follows:
Galveston. Denver, Chattanooga.
Cleveland. Wilmington. Concord and
Helena. In night firing the order
stands as follows: Galveston, Chatta-
nooga. Denver. Cleveland. Rainbow,
Helena. Wilmington aand Concord
the scores had been tabulated, Rear
Admiral Harder. commanding the
squadron, warmly congratulated the
ordnance officers and commanders of
the various vessels upon the remark
able efficiency attained.

ASK TO EXAMINE JURORS
HYDE AND SCHNEIDER SEEK
NEW TRIAL.
Arguments on Motion in Land Fraud
Cases Taken Under Amusement
by Justice Stafford.

Arguments for new trial were made to-
day before Justice Stafford on the mo-
ton of Frederick A. Hyde and Joost H.
Schneider. convicted last spring of con-
spiracy in connection with the LAND
frauds in the west.
Justice Stafford took the matter under
consideration and will announce his de-
cision later.
The principal argument of counsel was
directed today to the question of the
right to call the twelve men that con-
victed Hyde and Schneider and examine
them as to their deliberations in the jury
room. Attorneys A. S. Worthington and
r. Golden Donaldson. for the defense.
argued that they had the right to ques-
ton these men, since they alleged the
jury was coerced to it's verdict by the
long confinement.
The verdict. they declared, was the
result of a compromise, some Of the ju-
rors who favored conviction for all four
of the defendants. voting to acquit Dr.
mond in exchange for the votes Of other
jurors who were inclined to acquit ALL to
secure the conviction Of Schneider.
Assistant Attorney General Pugh and
United States Attorney Baker denied the
right to interrogate the jurors. and
claimed that compromise verdictS are
being rendered daily by juries.
With this request to examine the jurors
was that the court had erred in telling
trial and in arrest of judgment. One Of
the principal points in the latter motion
was that theh court had erred in telling
the jury that one of the defendants
might be convicted of conspiracy The
defense holds that two persons are nee
eSSary for conspiracy.

POINTS SCORED BY DEFENSE
TWO COUNTS AGAINST MORSE
AND CURTIS DISMISSED.
Will Stand Trial on Charges Of I'm
proper Methods in
Banking.

NEW YORK. October 2.-The defense
in the case of Charles W. Morse, finan-
cier. and A. H. Curtis, former president
OF the National Bank of North America,
who are on trial in the United States
today. The presentation of evidence by
the prosecution had been finished before
adjournment of court yesterday, and the
defense, before opening its case. had
moved to have quashed the indictment
against its clients. These motions were
denied, but after hearing arguments on
motions to strike out certain specific por-
tons of the indictments Judge Hough
ruled in favor of the defense. BY his d.
rection two counts of the indictment-one
charging conspiracy and the other misap-
propriation-were stricken from the rec
ord.
In dismissing the conspiracy charge
Judge Hough said that. from the evil
dence which had been adduced he could
not see how the minds of two defendants
could act in concert. In view Of the evil
dence. he said. he could not permit YER
DICT on the conspiracy count, and. there
fore. directed the conspiracy charge be
dismissed. The count in the Indictment
charging transportation in connection
with a $4,000 note given in payment for
stock purchased from Mr.. Morse also
was dismissed by Judge Hough on the
ground that there was no evidence of
criminality.
The part of the indictment which re-
mains. and which Judge Hough refused to
dismiss when application was made by
counsel for Morse. alleges false reports
misapplication. generalization, and the
use OF funds of depositors for speculative
purposes.
