NONE OF THE WITNESSES APPROVED OF GUGGENRE|Ms
Testimony For Plaintiffs in Cunning
 ham Coal Land Case

Spokane. Dec. 3-Two witnesses Henry Collins. of Rockford, Wash, and Andrew Scofield, of Los Angeles, tes- tified at the Cunningham coal inves- tigation today. Collins emphatically denied contracting with any person company or association to purchase his claim, prior to securing a final receipt He stated that he took the land with the idea of holding it until the country developed.
 ''I did not approve the proposition of the Guggenheims," stated Collins.
 Counsel for the claimants objected to the testimony as tending to show MT Ballinger's connection with the case and the objection was sustained on the ground that the consultation. if any occurred after the issuance of the final report.
 ''On the 18th of last March l sold my claim to Fred Snyder for s15,500,' stated Scofield. ''I did not consult any one about the sale. I had no corre- spondence with MT. Cunninham tell ing him of the sale. ScOfield said he never approved of the Guggenhein proposition.

THE LOCATION N DOUBT
Rickard Inclined As At First to Salt Lake = Terms on Which Aspir- ants For Championship Are to Meet

New York. Dec. 3.-The Jeffries- Johnson fight will be held either at Salt Lake or in the vicinity of San Francisco on July 4. Final articles for forty-five rounds were signed by the principals today in Hoboken. Neither of the contestants. according to the articles, is to engage in any boxing events before the big fight. This eliminates the possibility of Johnson meeting Langford or Jeffries fighting Kaufman. Both further stipulate that they must enter training ninety days before the fight. Five-ounce gloves will be used and straight Queensberry rules.
 The referee is to be selected at least sixty days before the contest. If Jeff fries, Johnson, Tex Rickard and John Gleason cannot agree on a referee Jef- fries and Johnson each select two and from these four Rickard and Gleason are to make any selection they desire. The referee will be paid s1.000. Jef- fries and Johnson each deposited a s10.000 forfeit to the promoters if they fail to appear. while Rickard and Glea- son deposited a 1000 forfeit in case they ldil lO SidBc llle llBul anu tO dp- ply on the purse of $101.D00. Sixty days before the fight Rickard and Gleason are to deposit an additional $30. 900. the remaining s51.000 to be put up forty-eight hours before the con- test
 Robert W. Murphy. of New York, a hotel proprietor. is temporary stake holder. and may serve permanently. The stake holder was debated for seV- eral hours. Johnson, ever cautious, suggested a safe deposit box with three locks. each of the contestants to hold a key, the third to be held by disinterested party. The promoters objected but Johnson was fearful lest he should be defrauded.
 Rickard said on Thursday that he did not believe that the laws of Utah would permit a fight to be held in that state. but today when he read several messages from prominent Salt, Lake men he said he believed the fight can and will be pulled off at Salt Lake. The law is not stringent and he is assured t can be altered.
 Jeffries is anxious to have the fight in1or near San Francisco. and sport ing men believe that notwithstanding the Salt Lake talk the fight will go to San Francisco. The articles give the promoters the right to stage the fight in Utah, Nevada or California.
 George Little, manager of Johnson. said Johnson was willing to accept Eddie Graney of San Francisco as referee. Rickard and Gleason are also favorable to Graney it is understood.

INSURANCE COMPANIES
 FACING \ MYSTERY AN OLD WOMAN HELD ON sUs-
 PIGEON A Dead Body Which May Be That of
 Her Niece

New York, Dec 3-Three companies in which Mrs. Ocey Wardlaw Snead held life insurance for more than S30.- GOO. announced today that they would refuse to honor the policies until it had been proved that the body of the half starved young woman found in bath in an unfurnished house at East Orange. x. J., on Monday. was that of Mrs. Snead. A policy of s240oo on the life of her husband. Fletcher Snead also missing. is unpaid
 A company agent detailed on the case. said today: T don't believe Snead fs dead. don't know that Mrs. Snead is dead. It seems incredible that any woman. not hypnotized o9 drugged. could be persuaded to endure such indignities mental suffering. and bodily privation as this poor girl in the morgue underwent. if she had any claim on ties of blood and family de- vOtion.
 We do know that the three separate sets of policies in duplicate on the life of Mrs. Snead were issued in favor of her aunt, Miss Virginia Wardlaw. now under arrest in East orange. on the plea. in each instance, that the pre- vious had been lost"
 The police today were busy with a bundle of papers and scattered mem oranda left by Miss Wardlaw in a drug store and recently discovered. They contained thousands of words of compilation from insurance policies. and what could be borrowed on them. mingled irrelevantly with letters of recommendation from some of the foremost educators in the country. all testifying to the refinement. sensibil- ity and intellectually of the grim old woman who now sits mute in her cell.
 The papers also indicate that young Mrs. Snead is a daughter of Col. R. NJ. Martin, who once lived handsomely in New York, and left her a fortune of s100.000. which has completely disap- peared.
 Dr. Jacob Wacheman told the Brook lyn police tonight that on September he called on Mrs. Snead at the in- stance of Julian Carabba, an attorney who drew her third will. The young woman, he said. was apparently un- der hypnotic influence. He found her suffering of neurasthenia. produced by hypnotism and starvation.

80 IS THE DICTATOR
United States Warships Will Guard Nicaraguan Coast That Murderer of Americans, Groce and
 Cannon May Not Escape

Washington, Dec. 3.-President Ze- lava has not only refused to take of- ficial cognizance of Secretary Knox's note. which is practically an ultima tum, but he is declared to have des- patched special agents to Washington to endeavor to have the ultimatum set aside. first by appeals to the state de- pertinent, and, secondly. by direct ap- peals to the members of congress. The state department is aware of the pres ence and identity of these emissaries and while they are being watched in. a general way the United States is main- taining nothing that could be con- strued to be an espionage.
 Tn addition. it was reported today that any attempt Zelaya might make ceive the direct and vigorous attention of American warships. MT. Knox's note intimated that the state department looks upon Zeiaya as responsible for the tortures and death of Groce and Cannon.
 A plan to defect the American pro- gram with reference to Nicaragua came to light tonight when Fernando Sanchez and Dr. V. NJ. Roman. the former accompanied by his family, registered at a leading hotel. Neither Sanchez nor Dr. Roman would talk. They gave their address as New York. Members of the Central American diplomatic corps, however, were in a flutter when they discovered their ar rival. Sanchez, it >is declared. is a partner of Zelaya in many business ventures and has between four and five millions in gold Roman. the report continues has long been Sanchez ad- wiser and also a close friend and ad- herent of Zelaya.
 Tonight more than twenty telegrams were dispatched from Sanchez rooms. and an equally large number was re- ceived. This telegraphic activity. the Central Americans insist, is aimed at the members of congress with view of winning over enough to render the administrations program imperative in the event that it is presented to congress.
 While making all preparations for action the government has assumed that calm that preceded the issuance of MT. Knox's note. There were no developments in the state department today MT. Knox appeared bored when the subject of Nicaragua was mem tioned. The department is now mark ing time" In all probability. the Nj caraguan consuls in this country will not be disturbed for the present, nor is it thought the American consuls in Nicaragua will be required to leave that country.

THE D|sC0vERER
 OF SUGAR FRAUDS TELLS THE STORY OF HIS
 FIND. The Defense Tries to Show That He Was an Attaehe of Policy Game.

New York, Dec. 3.-The storm cen ter in the sugar fraud trial today fo- cused upon Richard Parr. special agent of the treasury department, foremost in the discovering and exposing of the short weight docks of the American Sugar Refining company. Parr re- hearsed the story of how he caught Kehoe. the tally clerk, manipulating crooked scales; how Oliver Spitzeri one of the six company employees now charged with conspiracy. offered to let him name his own price for hush- ing the thing up: how Spitzer's part ner asked aAxiously, Dick. this fel- low says you're all right Does that go?''
 Nothing goes with me" Parr testi- fled he said. He told his story with great detail and his narrative had a visible effect.
 Counsel for the defence was quick to retort with an attack upon Parrs credibility.
 You started to investigate without orders from a superior officer?" he was asked.
 If President Roosevelt and Secre- tary Cnow collector) Loeb were su- perior officers I was working under orders" replied Parr.
 But if you mean the secretary of the treasury, then you were working without orders?"
 Questions designed to show that Parr had once written sheets for a policy room were barred by the court. but Parr insisted on making an angry denial.

GOVERNOR DECLINES TO
 ARBiTRATE.

Boise, Idahao, Dec. 3.-Governor Brady today disapproved the plan sug- gested that the dispute between the northwestern railroads and the switch men be referred to arbitration by a board composed of the governors oi the states which are feeling the effects of the strike.
 He said: "I do not think it would be wise for the governors to attempt to arbitrate the strike, but I would suggest committee composed of five conservative business men and labor leaders to be agreed upon to see il it is not possible to harmonize the diff ferences existing between the North ern Pacific and the other railroad and their switchmen.'
