MISS DORSEY STILL HELD
POLICE SAY ROBBER WAS MAN

Miss Annie Dorsey. who was arrested
Yesterday in connection with the investi-
cation Of the hold-up Of Miss Susie Crook
and Miss Edna Flaherty In the store of
the Sanitary Grocery Company, at 310i
NJ street, Is still in the custody of the
police and additional witnesses are being
sought.
One witness has been found who says
he saw woman answering the descrip-
ton Of the robber turn south on 3Oth
street at NJ yesterday morning. He is
George Atkins. colored, Of 21O4 New York
avenue. He told the police he is positive
he saw the woman on the * street bridge
over the canal. and says he noticed sew
eral of her teeth were missing when she
took of her veil.
Several persons have told the police
they saw woman on NJ street yes
terday morning. They agree that the
description of the one they saw tallies
clerks. but none Of them was able to
see the face through the heavy veil.
Coachman Saw woman"
Henry Hughes. employed as coach
man for the French ambassador. saw a
person answering the same description
disappear into the doorway at the store
Of the Sanitary Grocery Company yes
terday morning. he told the police, and
later saw the same person on the south
side Of NJ street, passing the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank at the southeast
corner Of NJ and 31st streets. Walter
Abrams and Grafton Draneville also
saw the person dressed in black. with
face heavily yelled.
Miss Dorsey adheres to the story she
told yesterday morning. She says she
left her room in the house OF Mrs.
Mcdonald, 3O1O NJ street. and went across
the street to make a purchase, then re-
turning to her home.
Miss Dorsey was arrested soon after
the robbery was committed, but she had
no money In her handbag, nor did she
have a pistol. She says she never Owned
a revolver and the police have learned
nothing to refute her statement.
Capt. Schneider still assumes that the
robber was q man, he said today, ana
has instructed the members Of his COM
mand to continue their efforts to appre-
bend the robber.
Police officials are anxious to find the
pistol the robber used while in the store
and they also are endeavoring to ascer-
tain, IL possible, where Mallory locks are
sold in this city, such being the name or
the lock the yelled woman" put on the
door of the grocery store after the rob-
berry was committed. ....

j. S. LOSES POINT IN
COAL LAND CASE
JUDGE Hanford Decides Assign
ment of Claims Is Within
the Law.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 1.-THE gov
eminent lost its first battle in the effort
to punish the alleged fraudulent locaters
Of Alaska coal lands. Judge Cornelius
H. Hanford, in the United States district
court. although he overruled the motion
to instruct the jury to acquit Charles F.
Munday, E. E. Siegley and Archie Shells.
sustained all the vital points contended
for by the defendants yesterday.
The ground on which the court refused
to grant the motion to acauit was not
raised by counsel but by the judge HIM
self. 1t leaves the government SO little
room that it is believed the prosecution
will be dropped
The lands in question are the Sir Ed
ward Strategy group. They are said to
be richer even than the Cunningham
claims. Estimates Of their value range
from $780, OOO, 600 to a much larger sum.
Law Permits Assignment.
The defendants were indicted on
charges Of conspiracy to defraud the gov
eminent When trial Of the case began
last Tuesday counsel for the defendants
asked acquittal on the ground that the
1904 law applied to Alaska claims, and
not the general land law OF 1873. The
law of 1904 permits assignment Of coal
claims; therefore, l: was argued, it was
not illegal to buy such claims.
The courts decision sustained all the
contentious Of the defendants, but raised
q new one in the following words:
"A foreign corporation cannot lawfully
acquire or hold a coal claim in Alaska.
Therefore, for the reason that
the indictment charges a conspiracy to
acquire coal claims or proprietary rights
to coal claims in Alaska for a foreign
corporation, 1t must be sustained as a
valid Indictment"
Tells What Congress Intended.
In discussing the arguments the court
said:
Congress intended to enact prac-
ticable. workable law. 1t is not a law
made to serve the purpose of monopo-
lists who would keep the coal Of Alaska
locked up within their mountain walls.
nor Is it based upon any fantastic notion
that trusts can be annihilated by giving
coal rights to no one except the man who
carry II to market upon his back or upon
his head.
ut is the duty of the court not to mis-
construe the law, nor stigmatize the Con-
eress which enacted 1t and the President
who approved 1t and signed 1t by imput-
ing to them a lack Of either sense or
honesty"
Both sides took exceptions to the deci-
sion. Counsel for the government say
the ruling is not final. and that the other
cases will be prosecuted. The same
points raised by the defense are under
Consideration by United States Judge
Rudkin in the Doughton case at Spokane.

COURT REFUSES WARRANT
TO ASSAULTED VISITOR
Barnett Macy of Florida Could
Not Furnish Names of
Witnesses.

Barnett Macy of Orlando. Fla, applied
to the Police Court today for a warrant
for the arrest OF two men for assault
The warrant, he says, was refused be-
cause he was unable to furnish names OF
witnesses. Later he called at the first
precinct police station and made COM
plant to Capt. Hollinberger. The latter
is having an investigation made.
Macy says he came here from Florida
last December and resided at house on
North Capitol street until yesterday, when
he went to p street northeast to board.
Last night about $50 o'clock, he says,
het met two young men in front Of the
city post ONCE by appointment.
He advertised for three young men to
make trip to Florida with him in his
automobile, he says, wanting them :. to
share the expense of the trip, which could
be made in two or three weeks at a cost
Of about $65. The two men met him last
night. he says, and started an argument,
claiming he wanted to fleece them.
One Man Struck Him, He Says.
One Of the men. Macy declares, dealt
him stunning blow on his mouth and
cut his lips. They pushed him against
the wall Of the building. he says. and he
finally got away from them and ran to
the north side Of Pennsylvania avenue,

Visiting Hardware Stores.

The police Of the several precincts have
been instructed to visit hardware stores
and other business places where locks
are sold to make inquiry about any recent
sale of such a lock. Thus far, 1t was
said this afternoon, nothing had been
learned to assist the police in their efforts
to identify any recent purchaser OF such
lock.
Detectives interested in the case are no
longer of the opinion that the robbery
was committed by the "hold-up" man
who robbed the clerk at the Hotel Grand
several weeks ago.
