According to Secretary Dewey, Dr. Hall Has Long Been Watched Cleaely and Is Guilty of Having Sold Two valuable Exhibits. ALBANY, Aug. 17.-—Before the Abell as- sembly investigating cummittee Secretary Dewey of the board of regents of, the Uni- versity of the State of New York has testi- fied thatwhile on a visit to the American Museum of Natural History, 'West Seven- ty-seventh street, New York, a collection of specimens worth $70, 000 was pointed out to him, and he was tOId that it had been a state exhibit, but had been pur- chased from the venerable James Hall, M. D., who has been state geologist to the board of, regents for 58 years. ' Secretary Dewey also stated that he saw another collection of stones and minerals at the University of Pennsylvania which was said to have come from Dr. Hall, and necessarily the state, since the collections made by Dr. Hall as a salaried officer nat- urally and by law belong to the state, and he had no right to sell tliem. , It was a fact, Which Mr. Dewey said he noted with pain when he first entered the services of the regents as secretary, that there was a regiilar police service to watch the White haired Dr. Hall, and when the geologist desired specimens from the great collection he had himself made, he'had to get one of the watchful subordinates to unlock the door Of the case, for he was not permitted to carry the keys himself. Charges Reluctantly Made. . These charges were made with evident reluctance, and Dr. Hall was accused of misappropriating vast sums of money given to the state geologist's department. Chairman Abell and Assemblyman Finn and Cutler have been investigating for a week the manner in which Secretary Dewey conducts his department, and an early discovery was that of dissension be- tWeen the state geologist’s department and the regents. ' Dr. Hall was put on the stand,‘and he was allowed to ramble on in defense of his department, but he seemed to evade all essential points in reply to Professor Dew- ey’s charges, While he dwelt on minor matters with emphasis and querulous persistence. He made no efl’ort to sustain the charges that Editor Hazelton testified Were derived from him, and even excused the regents and exonerated Dewey. He told how early in his ofiicial career an assistant named Beecher was set as a spy on him by Chancellor Pierson, and how later Beech- ef was promoted to be consulting paleon- tologist. He denied that he had ever ac- cused Dewey or the regents of keeping back part of his salary, and then the old man said he Was too ill to go on With the examination. . Dr. Hall's Idiosyncracles. On returning to the stand Secretary Dewey said that Dr. Hall had delayed the publication of the “Paleontology” more than 40 years and had so tied up the mat- ter with the Van Benthuysen Printing company that the work could never be published by any other concern. He characterized Dr. Hall as “a verita- ble Old Man of the Sea, hanging about the neck of the: regents ever since before I (Dewey) Was’born.” He said Hall had kept one name on his salary list long after its owner had fled the city to escape pun- ishment for disorderly conduct, and that the regents were compelled to pass a rule obliging that all bills from Dr. Hall’s de- partment he presented promptly, as it con- stantly happened that bills seven or eight years old were being presented from that department. James Hall, the state geologist, is al- most 84 years old, having been born at Hingham, Mass, Sept. 11, 1811. His early education was got in the public schools of Hingham. He was intended at first for the medical profession, but turned aside to become one of the most famous geologists in the world. Captain John 9. Adams Dead.

An Important 'Witness Alleged to Have ‘ -' Disclosed Herself. SAN FRANCIsco, Aug. 17.—A local pa- per says that Mrs. Leake, who lived di- rectly opposite Emanuel church when the two young women were murdered, has re- ported to .the police that she saw Miss Lamont and Theodore Durant enter the church late in the afternoon on the day when the girl,‘ disappeared. The woman says she has remained silent up to this time because she did not wish to be a wit- ness in the case, but has now been con— vinced that her duty to the state should compel her to speak. ' She says that the girl wore a school dress and carried a bundle of schoolbooks. Mrs. Leake had no difficulty in identify- ing the two, for she was well acquainted with both. She noticed them particular- ly because she considered it an imprudent thing for the girl to do and stood at the window watching the church for some time to see if the two did not come out directly. Household duties, however, call- ed her away, and she thought nothing more of the incident until the tragic events which followed reminded her of it. The evidence against Durant, the po- lice claim, is now complete. Three school- girls saw Durant and Miss Lamont on a Powell streetcar at 3:30 on the day of the girl’s disappearance. Mr. Quinlan, an attorney, saw them near the church a few minutes before 4 o’clock, and a little later Mrs. Leake saw them enter the church. George King, the organist, on entering the church an hour later, saw Durant coming from the loft alone and in a state of nerv- ous and physical collapse. THE CHICAGO METHOD. Tenant EVouldn’t Leave, So His Furniture Was. Thrown Out the Windows. CHICAGO, Aug. 17.——Crowds watched a gang of workmen throw the furniture from the windows of the three story and basement brick building at the northwest corner of Peck court and Wabash avenue. - So much pressed for time Were the men ‘ that they did not even wait to remove the windows, but threw chairs, bureaus and bedsteads through the glass and sash. When the work was finished, $1,000 worth of furniture was broken in bits on the pavement, and the building was completely dismantled. The hasty moving was the climax of a long and bitter fight on the part of the agents of the Beck estate, owners of the property, who Wish to tear down the build- ings and erect a new business block there, and John B. Wrenn, who says he holds a lease of it until Jan. 1, 1896. Wrenn, who resisted the constables, was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct, togeth- er Wlth his wife and a ledger. When the furniture had been thrown out, the workmen cut the water pipes and allowed water to flood the basement, from which the carpets had not been removed. The gas pipes were also cut, and the es- caping gas filled the room. Wrenn says that during the throwing out of his furni- ture some one stole $1, 100 in cash and two gold watches from a dressing case in his room. Raabe Pleads Not Guilty. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.——Henry Raabe, former warden of the Ludlow Street jail, ex-Keepers Edward Schneer and Charles Schoen, who Were indicted for their con- neetion with the escape of the three post} ofiice robbers on July 4, were arraigned for pleading before Recorder Goff today.

GREEN RIVER, Wy., Aug. 17.—Indian Agent'Teter has made the following ad- ditional report to the commissioner of In- dian affairs: ' -‘ “ Certain Indians state that they will go to Jackson’s Hole for the purpose of hunt- ing as soon as the haying season is over, claiming that they Will starve during the coming Winter if they do not kill game at this season, and that they have a right to hunt in Jackson’s Hole. In my opinion, it is absolutely necessary to keep the In- dians on the reservation. Even if they are justified in going to Jackson’s Hole, as they seem determined to have revenge on the settlers they will go prepared for that purpose and are discussing plans to that end. ‘. “The best solution I can present is to enter into the contract for the big ditch on the reservation as soon as possible, which will give the Indians employment and an opportunity to earn money with which to provide themselves through the winter. The Indians must be given employment or increased rations, as they cannot sub- sist without food obtained from hunting until water is put on the reservation, when they will be practically self supporting. Will request you to Wire me what I can state to the Indians relative to increased rations or employment should they remain on the reservation.” Postmasters Appointed. ’ WASHINGTON, Aug. 17,—The fourth class postmasters appointed today Were: Maryland—Mount Harmony, Mrs. M.
