ture or any other person. Sheldon sent
back the bill, saying that certain partic-
ular gentleman on the underwriters
board objected to it, and suggested that
Buckley circumvent techncalities by put
ting in an item for service in collecting
rate statistics. Subsequent correspon-
dence showed that he fixed the bill as
Sheldon directed. He resented the sus-
gestion of Mr. IIotchkiss that this pro-
cedure was to deceive those insurance
men who did not countenance his ac-
tivities.
Matters dragged along until fall and
still Sheldon could not college the $4,000.
Finally Buckley wrote twice to him, rep
resenting that he had loans which he
must meet. He admitted in his testimony
that he had no such loans
Then that was a lie, wasn't it?' Mr.
Hotchkiss asked.
The witness admitted that it was lie
which he used to hasten the collection
of his money. Late in the fall Sheldon
collected a fund to pay Buckley and sent
the money to him.

Martin ReneWS Attack Up-
on Attorney General.
Senate Does Not Recognize
Arizona Election Law.
Legislation Advocated to Amend
Patent Laws and Practices.

Washington, March 2S.-The charge
preferred on the floor Of the House last
Friday by Martin, Dem. of Colo. that
The former attorney of the sugar
trust, is now the head Of the depart
ment of justice of the present admin.
istration" brought forth a letter of de-
NAL from Attorney General Wicker-
snaul, addressed to Bennett of New
York and read into the Record today.
Mr.. Wickersham' letter follows:
Il have read in the Congressional
Record of March %. a statement made
by member from Colorado to the eff
ect that the former attorney of the
sugar trust is at the head of the de-
partment of justice of the present ad-
lministration and later on what pur-
ports to be a quotation from a news
paper editorial reading Attorney Cen
eral WiCkersham, the former attorney
Of the sugar trust
In order that such statement may
not gain any currency, | should like to
state through you that | never was
attorney for the sugar trust, by which
understand is meant the American
Sugar Refining Co, and its allied or
subsidiary corporations, nor had any
professional or business relations to
it,"
The only possible foundation for
such a statement lies in the fact that
one of my partners some three years
ago was retained as one of counsel for
the American Sugar Refining Co, in
single law suit brought against it, and
pursuant to such retainer, he assisted
6nfnncn Of bn in, ho
action and an appeal taken from
judgment in its favor but in that law
suit, | was neither consulted nor did
render any service"
Martin was not on the floor of the
House at the time the letter was read
by Bennett, but when advised of the mat
ter he secured a copy OF the attorney
generals letter and announced that he
intended to carry his charges against the
department of justice to VI definite con-
clusion He now has a resolution pend
ing for an investigation of the acquisition
of friar lands in the Philippines by the
1avemyer interests. Martin said IN an
Interview:
THE attorney general, you will observe
carefully avoided making any denial of
the principal features of my charge. to
wit; That his decision gave the sugar
trust $1,000 acres of frar lands for a
price less than the government paid for
it, and that there was no warrant of law
for such a decision
The law plainly limits the sale of pub
lie lands to any one person or company
to 25C0 acres and there is no question of
the friar lands being public lands.
Mr., Wickersham says that his part
ner whom I understand was Henry w.
Taft, a brother of the President, was at
torney for the sugar trust. This form
Of disavowal will not carry much weight
Il shall continue my efforts to show up
what l believe is but the beginning of a
gigantic grab of the friar lands of tile
Philippines by the sugar trust, all made
possible by an unwarranted decision of
the attorney general. | shall decide on a
further course within Il day or two
There are 100000 acres of these friar

WOLTER WILL TELL ALL
If Katie Miller Will Be True and Love
Him-Statement Wednesday.

New York March 2S.-Albert Wolter
the youth held in the Tombs for the
murder of Ruth Wheeler, n stenogIa-
pher, said tonight that on Wednesday
he would tell everything" provided
his erstwhile girl companion, Katie
Miller or Mueller, now held as mate
rial witness, remained loyad and still
loved him. The boy made this declara-
ton in his cell, after a day of almost
ceaseless verbal hanmering by detec-
tives, striving to obtain a confession.
AT times he wept and appeared on the
verge Of a breakdown, but at no time
would he confess to having committed
the crime or OF even knowing the vic
tim.
The motive for the murder thus re-
mains as much mystery as ever.
The Miller girl told the police today
OF the strange happenings at the fire.

Wolter. but her statements we're CYL
IDENTIFY not intended to incriminate hlm
for she sent him letter tonight, writ

the truth. Tell the truth she wrote,

After reading this Wolter made the
rather cryptic remark that he would
tell everything" on Wednesday.
New York, March 28.-Spurred on

sensational murder uncovered last Sat
urday, was by every evidence smoth-

the authorities today continued the
task of trying to develop the real mo-
tive for the crime.
Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon de-
clares that Ruth Wheeler was burned
alive. After the autopsy on the body
he declared that the discovery of a
remnant of square of linen over the
right nostrii of the girl and traces of
SCOT in nostril and lungs convinced
him that she was still living when. af-
ter being strangled by the cord about
her neck, her body was set on fire by
