ant Himself Submits Long State-

WASHINGTON. Nov. 28.—Mrs. Su
san Downs was the first witness heard
today by the house Judiciary commit
tee. which is investigating the Judge
Swayne case. She keeps a boarding
house at Waco, Tex., where Judge
Swayne stopped three times when he
held court in that city. She charged
Judge Swayne at the rate of $40 per
month for himself anl $68 per month
when he was aocompanied by Mrs.
Swayne.
The cross-examination of Robert J.
Boone of Florida was then resumed,
Attorney Liddon, for the prosecution,
fended hit course, the facts of /which
were nearly all set forth in the minor
ity report in favor of Judge Swayne,
and In previous testimony taken. Re
ferring to the case of K. T. Davis and
Simeon Beldqn. he said that nothing
wat shown that would indicate malice
on hla part
Swayne In Own Defense.
Judge Swayne defended his course
in the Hoskins case. No tender, he
said, was ever made by Hoskins in hia
court for settlement. He said he saw
no grounds for suspicion that a con
spiracy existed to break up Hoskins*
business. He believed, and the testi
mony showed, that the books taken by
young Hoskins,were taken on the ad
vice and with the aid of the alleged
bankrupt Hoskins. He denied that he
had in any way prejudged the case of
young Hoskins, for whom a contempt
warrant has been issued.
Judge Swayne Justified his action in
sentencing W. C. O’Neal to sixty days
in Jail for contempt. He declared that
he had never favored B. C. Tunlson or
been partial to him. He referred to
attempts by certain attorneys to de
fame him in Florida newspapers,
denied several statements made by
John Wurts. He never made, he said,
but one trip from Delaware, to Flor
ida in a private car. He made one trip
in the same car to the Pacific coast
and paid for the provisions himself.
He asserted that during his term as
Judge he never allowed anything to
influence his nets outside of the law
and facts. In answer to Mr. Palmer.
Judge Swayne Justified his use of the
private car of the railroad company,
which was in the hands of a receiver.
The committee decided to close the
testimony and adjourned.

John M. Calhoun in the bankruptcy
proceedings against Hoskins.
While Attorney Higgins was con
ducting a re-direct examination of
Boone concerning the Hoskins bank
ruptcy, Mr. Palmer, of the sub-com
mittee, objected to his line of ques
tions and answers. “There seems to
be a disposition on the part of this
witness,” ho said, “to blacken the
character of this old man Hoskins with
every answer he make*.
A little later Boone testified that he
filed a claim of John M. Calhoun
against Hoskins, aftev the case had
been going for some time.
Clayton in Evidence,
“That was when you needed more
claims to keep your petition going,”
observed Mr. Clayton, of the sub-com-
mltte®.
Boone denied that any conspiracy
or arrangement between himself and
Calhoun existed against Hoskins. He
also said he could not remember
whether he had suggested Calhoun ns
a receiver for the Hoskins property,
but thought r.ot. Hf said the reason
he refused to settle when checks were
offered to pay some of the claims
against Hoskins was that no offer was
made to pay the cos<«.
Boone asserted that it was never
brought to the attention of the court
that Hoskins was wilMng to settle in
full with his creditor*.
During the examination of Boone he
explained the indictment against him
self alluded to last Saturday. He said
he was charged with the embeizlement
of $10, and said the charge was the
result of a disputed claim over insur
ance with a traveling agent of the
company which he (Boone) repre
sented os local agent.
A Mysterious Letter.
Mr. Palmer subjected Boone to a
searching Inquiry concerning the let
ter signed by n rubber stamp with
Boone’s name which urged the pro
secution of C. D. Hoskins for con
tempt In order to “break down old
man Hoskins.'

Newton's suit, several banks have taken

ANNEXATION CASE
Proceedings Now Before the
Supremo Court
City Attorney Wimberly and Mr. John
R. Cooper Argue the Vinevllle Mat
ter, Former Asking Affirmation of
the Previous Deoieion and Latter
Opposing the Motion.
P0JJ He was asked who
could have written the letter if not
hlmaelf. The witness replied that he
did not know unless it might havo
been a son of Judge Liddon, who was
around the office a grent deal. Asked
ns to the motive nny person other than
himself could have had In writing the
letter, he said that it would have been
to connect Judge Swayne with the case
by making testimony before this com
mittee. that If the letter remained un-
contradlctcd It would show a conspira
cy, or, he added, not that exactly, but
a connection between himself, Tuni-
son and Calhoun with the Hoskins
case. The letter, he said, must have
been forged after proceedings were
started against Swayne.
Boone Made Affidavit.
Mr. Palmer naked him if he did not
make an affidavit that Hoskins waa
about to dispose of his property and
Boone replied In the affirmative.
“And on that affidavit,” said Mr.
Palmer, “Judge Swayne Issued an or
der attaching Hoskln’s property nod
depriving him of the use of it and
stopping his business?”
“Yes,” replied the witness, "of course
his business could not go on after the
attachment was made.”
Attorney Higgins said that he desir
ed to ask Mr. Liddon. the attorney for
the prosecution, some questions
cross examination.
“Have you ever been Informed
against for receiving an illegal fee Ip
a pension case?”
Liddon answered In the affirmative,
and it was brought out that he had
received one-third of the amount col
lected. something over $2,000. He made
a contract with the pensioner for such
fee. which fee was paid back after the
information had been lodged. Mr. Lid
don then made a statement concerning
the matter.
Honored Since Then.
It was. he said, his first and last
pension case and happened thirty years
ago. It had not affected his standing
In Florida. Fin^e then he had been
elected chief Justice of the supreme
court of Florida, and had been unani
mously elected a delegate to the Dem
ocratic national convention.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—City At
torney Mlnter Wimberly, of Macon,
today filed a motion to dismiss
or affirm the case of J. W. Toney and
others vs. the mayor and council of the
city of Macon. The case grows out
of the resistance of the dtisens of
the town of Vinevllle, a suburb of Ma
con, to Its annexation to the city, un
der a recent enactment of the state
legislature. The state supreme court
upheld the law and It Is this decision
that Mr. Wimberly asks to have af
firmed. In hjs motion Mr. Wimberly
says the complaints of plaintiffs In
error are merely Imaginary.’ In that
there has been no deprivation of any
of the rights guaranteed to them by
the constitution of the United States
or the amendments thereof, and the
case Is not a moot case and should be
dismissed.
The motion was opposed by John
Randolph Cooper, who says the
motions cannot be properly cnsldered
until the case Is reached on Its merits.
Among other things he said:
Appellants are not fighting for delay
In this case, but they are fighting for
their constitutional rights. There is
no reason on earth why they should
fight for delay and the contention of
the defendants counsel that this writ
of error Is sued out for delay only Is
absolutely without any merit what
ever.
CHE FOO, Nov. 28.—Gen. Kur.opat-
kln Is the possessor of a new twenty
horse-power automobile with which he
Is able to rush at high speed from one
part to another of the line, twenty-five
miles long, according to Si. Ravolr,
who reached here today from Muk
den. M. Ravolr spent three weeks
with Kuropatktn, who wished to se
twenty automobiles specially con
structed to carry ammunition speedily
in emergencies. He will only use them
in winter when the Manchurian roads
in excellent condition. On his first
trip In the new automobile Kuropat-
kln’s only comment was:
'I have the advantage of Gen. Shof-
ter."
The Chinese now regard Kuropatkln
and his machine with superstitious
believing the latter to be an atro
ciously powerful specimen of the “for
eign devil.”
M. Ravolr said:
The Situation.
“The two armies He facing each
other each having three fortified lines.
The soldiers of both nrmles live mostly
in cayes. behind their trenches, which
when covered with snow, have the ap
pearance of a grent nost of polar beara
waiting to spring at ench other. The
caves are warm even without fire. The
Russian troops are In the best of spir
its and have unlimited confidence in
their leaders. They expect Kuropatkln
to attack during the winter. The Rtts-
slan forces now number 800,000 men.
The cavalrymen from the Don district
are superior to their Siberian com
rades. The former are intelligent,
brave and active and have fine, power
ful horses.
“There are only a few hundred
wounded at Mukden and 30,000
wounded at Harbin.
"I came out on the Siberian railroad
which seemed to be doing it* tremen
dous work smoothly. The warehouses
along the railroad between Mukden and
Harbin are full of supplies which are
almost untouched, as up to the present
the army has subsisted'chiefly on the
country.
“The handling of the Russian artil
lery Is Improving whllf the.Japanese
artillery fire seems less effective. Or
iginally the Russians did not conceal
their artillery which the Japanese
quickly dlsnbled. Now the Russians
handle and conceal their guns with
perfect science.
“The belief Is general at Mukden
that Port Arthur will hold out till re
lived. no matter how long the much
expected Ruaslnn second Pacific squad
ron may take In reaching the far east.
Kuropatkln Satisfied.
“General Kuropatkln Is not tnlkatlve.
His only reference to the wnr wns:
‘The war Is progressing ns I wish.’
“He still lives In his railroad car and
the light in his office Is burning night
and day. It Is commonly stated that
the general never sleeps. His officers
ure not surprised at being called to a
conference at nny hour of the night.
The general’s only relaxation Is at din
ner time, when the officers who are. his
guests number scores. Wine Is plenti
ful but Kuropatkln drinks mineral wa
ter. Every Russian officer avems to
have an unlimited supply of money,
the government being lavish In Its ex
penditures.
“It Is my opinion that Kuropatkln
will never retreat from Mukden unless
defeated decisively and I think the next
battle will be a Russian victory.”
Supreme Court Decides a Will Case of
Long Standing.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 28.—The case

the United States today in favor of
