QUESTIONED BY RECEIVER
kieran Denies Using Company Funds
for Personal Ends.

New York, Feb. 5.-Denial that he
had ever in any way used the funds
of the Fidelity Funding company to
further his personal interests was
made by Patrick j. Kieran, former
president of the bankrupt concern, on
the witness stand at hearing before
State Receiver Gilroy. Mr.. Kieran,
under examination by the receiver,
was questioned with regard to his
personal relations with the Fidelity
Funding company. Asked If he ever
had bought any stocks or other Sc
curities for his personal account for
which he used the funds of the Fidel-
ity company Mr. Kieran replied:
'T used no funds of the Fidelity to
pay for any stock or interest whatever
in any trust company, bank, insurance
company or any kind of concern, nor
did | ever borrow any money or Sc
curities for such purposes from the
company. The shoe was on the other
foot; | was continually lending the
company stock, money and credit tc
further the company's interests"

As TRUSTEE FOR INDIANS
Governments Interest in Oklahoma
Land Cases.

ST. Louis, Feb 5.-M. L. Mott, at
torney for the Creek Nation, asserted
here that the land fraud investigation
in Oklahoma was instituted as the
result of evidence which he gathered
in connection with civil suits for the
recovery of lands alleged to have
been fraudulently obtained from the
Indians whom he represents.
''The interest of the government in
the present prosecutions is simply
that of a trustee" said Mr.. Mott.
"The Creeks lost many acres by fraud
ulent transactions. Because the gov
ernment was trustee for the Indians
it was charged with the duty OF re-
covering these lands. But it was pre-
vented from properly discharging its
duties as trustee by the frauds. Con
sequently the interest of the govern
ment in the criminal prosecutions is
still that of a trustee in addition to Its
usual police attitude.
"There is no truth in the report
circulated by Governor Haskell and
his friends that William r. Hearst
inspired the suits. / was the man
who inspired the prosecutions and
from the first | have been the most
active in forwarding them"

Chicago. Feb. 4.-Charging traud

Baltimore and Ohio and Messrs.
Gould, Hartman and Stillman the in.
tervening petition of minority stock
holders of the Chicago Terminal
Transfer company came up for hear
ing before Judge Kohlsaat In the

erty. including lease by the Balti
more and Ohio, for S15,000,000 at 6
per cent to form new company to
build a line from Chicago to st. Louis
1t is asserted that Gould and his asso
ciates. fearing competition against the
Alton by the new road. secured con
troll of the stock of the new company
and so manipulated its affairs that i
could not pay interest on the mort
gage. Then the Baltimore and Ohit
two years ago filed motion to fore
close the mortgage.

Jap CONFIDENCE UNSHAKEN
Believe Roosevelt Voices Sentiment of
Majority of Americans.


Toxic. Feb. 5.-A high official of
the government says:
"Our confidence in the fairness and
Justice of the real American people
will remain unshaken through
stronger test than the action of few
men who do not really represent the
sentiment of the public. In Nevada,
California and elsewhere we believe
that the true sentiment of the people
Is voiced by President Roosevelt and
the leading statesmen and business
men. The real danger of such utter
lnces as those contained in the Ne
vada resolution and similar ones,
made by persons who entirely misun-
derstand Japanese, lies in the effect
they may have on the ignorant peo-
pie of both Japan and America. The
intelligence of both countries should
be exercised to muzZle the ignorant
and vicious press and individuals"
Leading foreigners and diplomats in
Toxic deplore the present agitation in
America for the reason that they be-
lieve that it may seriously hamper
American trade in Japan and possibly
throw difficulties in the way of the
signing of the new treaties between
the two countries.

the Japanese. He has a large labor
union constituency and his opposition
was based on the plea that the bill
would be distinctly harmful to labor
by driving capital away.
Governor Gillett was highly pleased
with the action of the assembly. 1t is
expected he will now proceed with
the measure which is designed to OBJ
tain an exact census of the japanese
In this state. Most of the opposition
TO the bill, according to the speeches
Of its opponents, was based either on
grounds extraneous to the Japanese
question or on the argument that its
passage would retard rather than
hasten the exclusion of the Japanese
from this country.
