CASE AGAINST
Dill EX|LES

The Department of Justice has
virtually completed a brief upon
the issue of indicting II. M. Black
ner and =. Z. O'Neil, the fugitive
MI fna1nates. it was learned today.
This brief probably will be pre-
eented to the Senate Public Lands
Committee in the near future, and
n u understood will sustain the
proposal Of the Hearst newspapers
that an indictment against the oil
men be brought in either the State
or the Federal courts.
-Four Senators-Shipste of Min
nesota, Pittman of Nevada, Sackett
of Kentucky. and Copeland Of New
York-today endorsed the proposal
TO bring about the indictment OF
BIackmer and O'Neil as a prelim-
mary to their extradition from
France.
Time For Action
tI am in favor of any action
which will bring these men back
to this country and force them TO
tell what they must know" said
Senator Sackett. II think that the
hour has arrived when definite ac-
fiOn should be taken
Senator Pittsman, a member Of
the Public Lands Committee, said
that he was awaiting with keen in
teresf the Forthcoming report from
the DEPARTMENT of Justice. and
hoped that it would be favorable to
securing an indictment.
Ehipstead's View
Senator Shipstead wants to have
BIsckner and O'Neil indicted, IL
f@~otlv r,racfipahle without further
delay. He indicated his belief today
that the issue of their indictment
had been allowed TO drag too long.
Senator Copeland. although not a
member OF the Public Lands Com
uittee. and not a lawyer, Is taking
a great interest In all of the devel.
opnents in the case. and today ex.
pressed his belief that Blackmer and

the United States before the Teapot

looking man on horseback. Gen. Lee then
wore his heavy black beard, which he
had discarded by the time he went to
Cuba with the American Army, and
pictures of him taken after the Cleve-
land Inauguration usually show MN
wearing just mustache.
Another feature of this parade OF
lasting memory was the great reception
accorded Vice President Thomas A.
Hendricks. Where Cleveland was only
slightly known outside of the State OF
New York, Hendricks was known far
and wide. He was not young man,
then being about Sc years old, and had
been before the public for years, was
popular with the masses, and when his
carriage came up the Avenue the Gp-
plause was tumultuous. The Grand
Old Man of the Democratic party was
kept continually bowling to the unpre-
cedented crowds which lined both sides
of the Avenue.
The Vice President did not live the
year out, but died very suddenly at his
residence, on North Tennessee street,
Indianapolis, Wednesday, November %,
1885, at o'clock in the afternoon. The
rews of his death at the time proved a
distinct shock to the people OF the
country, irrespective of party aftllia-
tions. for he was indeed greatly beloved
by all.
AS the Senate was then controlled
by the Republicans, there was always
fear among the Democrats that some
thing might happen to the President
which would throw the power of gov
ernment into the hands of the President

ing on tables in Encina Hall. If the
stories are true-and who is there to
doubt them?-then Bert Hoover must
have been the most careless student
waiter ever to work his way through
Stanford.
Stanford officials, at the same time,
have awakened to the disturbing fact
that the location of the room which
Hoover occupied when he registered at
Encina Hall as the first dormitory
student is a matter of controversy and
speculation. They know it was on the
second floor, near the room Of DR.. Ray
Lyman Wilbur, and they know which
room DR.. Wilbur occupied but they are
not certain which is the lCom that
Hoover lived in.
All of the rooms look much the same,
however, so it really doesnt make a
whole lot of difference, so far as the
general public is concerned. But the
