NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—-’l‘he World says that the people of Aransas Harbor, Tex., will endeavor to indict Russell Harrison. He is at the head of the Aransas Harbor - and Land Improvement company, which sold fnany hundred thousand dollars’ worth of land there, on the promise that within one year they would obtain deep water in the Aransas pass, and so make a harbor rivaling any on the Gulf coast. - On Saturday, Sept. 12, about $100,000 in notes given for the purchase of these lots by local and state settlers fell due. In the meantime the year within which the com- pany promised to have deep water In the pass has about elapsed and nothing has been done. As the company has failed to keep its promises, the purchasers of lots have refused to meet their notes. They invested here because of the distinguished names associated with the project. Ex- Lieutenant Governor Wheeler and Russell B. Harrison stand at the head. Mr. Wheeler says the people must pay. He has been in communication with Mr. Harrison and others within a few days and has received orders to push the pay- ments. Aflood of suits will. be brought by Harrison and Wheeler, and probably a thousand Texans will be made defendants. On the other hand these sturdy Texan settlers claim that they have been swin- died. They say the company has thrived by a system of misrepresentation, and Mr. P. H. Tansey, of Aransas Harbor, is pre- paringa case for the grand jury with a view to indicting all the principals. The World says that seven congressmen were in the scheme. WASHINGTON WHISPERS. Army and Navy Sentences Passed on by the President.

Ismmmmowmu ‘ The Police Inclined to Think He "" Met with Foul Play. 5,-- . HIS FRIEND IS LOCKED UP. The Young Man Who ‘Was with the Co- lumbia College Lad When .1. Met His Death Told in Very Contradictory Story and Was Put in Jail. NEWTOWN, L. 1., Sept. 22.-—-Max Con- Iaddi, aged nineteen, of 235% East Fortieth street, New York, was arraigned Monday before Justice Powers, at this place, under peculiar circumstances. He was brought from the Bowery Bay station house by Sergeant Corrigan, where he had been locked up all night. Conraddi entered the station house Sunday evening, and depositing a bundle of clothing on the sengeant’s desk said that the clothes belonged to his friend, Frank O. Jaynes, aged twenty-one, who, he said, had been drowned off Bowery Bay beach in the afternoon. Young J aynes boarded at the house of Mrs. Mary Bidwell, at the address given by Conraddi. She is an aunt of Conrad- di’s. Jaynes came from San Francisco some time ago to study law atColumbia college. He was preparing to pass the re- gent’s examination. Made Contradictory Statements. Conraddi, on being questioned by Ser- geant Corrigan, made contradictory state- mentsfiwhich induced the sergeant to lock him up. He said that J aynes had accom- panied him to Bowery Bay in the after- noon, and that at about 4 o’clock they went out in a boat, and on reaching Riker’s island they went in bathing. After Jaynes had been in the water a short time he suddenly called for help, threw up his hands and then sank. Con- raddi said that he started to go to his friend’s assistance, but he disappeared be- fore he could reach him. Had No Money. He Says. The clothing which Conraddi brought to the station was of fine material, and there was a gold watch and chain attached to the waistcoat. The sergeant asked Con— raddi if J aynes had any money with him when they started to Bowery Bay. Conraddi replied that J aynes always car- ried more or less money, and was surprised that none was found in the clothes. On being closely questioned Conraddi contra- dicted himself again in a number of in- stances. Justice Powers decided to hold Conraddi until the body of Jaynes is recovered. J aynes’ parents, who are said to be wealthy, reside in San Francisco. Sergeant Corrigan has sent a telegram there, noti- fying them of the young man’s death. Meantime the police are making a further investigation as they incline to the belief of foul play. Italians Celebrate.
