TWO CENTS. r PROCEEDINGS IN QUAY CASE Under the Court's Ruling the Now Famous "Red Book" Is Finally Admitted. The Book Found in llie Desk of Cashier Hopkins After His Suicide Efforts of Counsel for the Defense to Keep the "Red Book" in the Background Are Fruitless Testimony of an Expert Accountant The Missing Page. Philadelphia, April II. Persistent, keen and brilliant argument between District Attorney Itothcrmel on the one side, and Messrs. Watson, Shnpley and Shields on the other, upon the admission of testimony which may go a long way to establish the guilt of ex-United States Senator Quay, was the feature of today's trial of thut dis tinguished defendant, and It culminat ed In n decided victory for the prose cution. The "red book" found In Cash ier Hnnklns' desk after his suicide, and upon the admission of which the commonwealth so largely rests its case, was the shaft the district attor ney aimed at the defence. To pave the way for the linal effort to Introduce the book Ilsolf he succeeded after fro- qu nt clashes with opinsing counsel, sometimes bitter and personal, In pre senting expert testimony to prove thut the book was necessarily u book of the bank, us accounts in the books ad mitted under the court's ruling would be made intelligible by the "led book." Before starting his examination Sir. Itothcrmel read to the court a state ment of what he Intended to prove. The expeit. he said, had made a thor ough examination of all the books in the case. He found that previous to April :t0, 191. the People's bank paid Intel est on the state deposits to the state treasurer, and that records of such payments were kept in a regular way on the books of the bank. After April :i0. 1M1, when Mr. Hopkins ap peared on the scene, n new system 'was adopted. This entailed the addition of another book now known as the "rod book" to the books theretofore kept by the bank. Expert Accountant's Testimony. Myer Goldsmith, an expert account ant, was the witness upon which the commonwealth depended to accom plish Its contention. During the whole course of the expert's examination ob jection nfter objection was made by the defence, and ns frequently over ruled by Judge Middle, while the dis trict attorney. In logical sequence drew from the witness his conclusions as to the book, based upon a comparison of vhat was written on Its pages with what appeared in the other books. Af ter It was all over, four hours of ex amination and cross-examination. In terspersed with argument, this much was sworn by the witness: Two ac counts out of upwards of one thousand In the regular books were Incomplete and Inaccurate unless explained by entiles In the "red book." One was an Item for $1,519 entered in the Indl- idual ledger to tho credit of the per son who received It. The witness was not permitted to designate the pel son by name. He found this item on tho fctub of the cashier's checu book, but what It represented he could not say until ho had examined the ealcjlallons in the "red book." Here he found the amount entered and the Indications that it had been paid by the cashier's check on Nov. 4, 1SU7. Another item of $5,352.10 he found In the regular book dated May '.'4, IS'JI, and found tho same item In the "led book," dated Oct.' 30, 1S94. He stated there weie other entries In the "red book" which explained transactions In the regular book, but the two lnstunees specified were the only ones In which he could reach accurate conclusions as to their nature and purpose. Mr. Goldsmith said that when he first opened the "red book" he did not consider it a book of the banlt, but when he compared the calculation en tered on Its pages with transactions In the other books he was forced to con sider it a book of the bank. He ex plained this by saying that prior to 1X91 calculations such as uppeared In the "red' book" were regularly entered in the ledger, but since then the "red book" had been substituted and fill lllled and fixed the same results. The Missing Page. During: the cross-examination of this witness, which was conducted by Mr. Shields, he testified to n page which was missing. The defence re peatedly endeavored to get from him tho statement that there might huvo been figures and words on that pago which would clearly explain the en tries on the other pages, and that tho book as It now stands Is unreliable. This vus ruled out, following an objec tion by the district uttomey. This would seem to Indicate that when tho final effort to present tho book In evi dence cornea tomorrow, the defence will make another determined opposi tion to it on tho ground, even If tho court should decide that with relation to the transactions testified to It Is a book of tho bunk. During all the examination touching on the book, with the exception of the two Items mentioned, no intimation of the amounts or names was ullowed to reach the jury. The prosecution all along, however, has alleged that this book will show that Cashier Hopkins computed Interest on state funds and deposited the money to Senator Quay's credit. MORNING SESSION. Testimony and Argument Inter spersed Judge Riddle's Decision. Philadelphia, April 14. The fifth day's proceedings of tho trial of Sen ator Quay opened today with the con tinued examination of William 13. llagen, the handwriting expert, who was giving his testimony at adjourn ment yesterday. Mr. Quay entered the court room ten minutes before the opening and continued his accustomed seat, conversing with the expert ac countant engaged by the defense. David T. Wntson, of Pittsburg, who argues the legal points for the de fense, was the first of counsel to ar rive. He carried an armful of books and papers, and It became apparent upon th arrival of Mr. Quay's lemaln Ing counsel that at almost any stage of today's proceedings would come the battle over the admission ot the "red book." Mr. Wntson and Mr. Shapley went In conference and made copious notes from the book. Mr. llagen re sumed his testimony. Identifying the handwriting of Cashier Hopkins In a letter. No mention of the contents or their purport was made. The defense did not cross-examine. Albert 13. Tabor, receiving teller, was recalled and Identified the handwriting of Hopkins In the "black book" and the "blue book," small memorandum books which were found in the cnshler's pri vate desk. In the former records of individual loans and in the other bank loans and records of collateral are en tered. The cashier's stub check book from ISM to ISO.",, and another one from 1S93 to March 23, IMS, two days before the bank's failure, were Identified as be ing in tho handwriting of the witness's father, formerly cashier, Hopkins', and In the witness's own handwriting. When Mr. Hopkins presented a check he Invariably entered on the stub for what purpose it was given. The wit ness identified the signature on a num ber of checks signed by Cashier Hop kins and others with the first one dated March 31, 1SSS, for $3,400, signed by William II, Tabor, cashier, endorsed by M. S. Quay. This was during the period when Mr. Quay was state treas urer. The amount was mentioned by the district attorney, but as tho wit ness was merely identifying signatures the amount was ordered stricken from the record and In tho subsequent checks, eight In all, there was no men tion of the figures. One drawn In 1897 us to the order of Treasurer Hay wood. State Treasurer Bencom Called. State Treasurer J. S. Bcacom, who has been In olllce since May last, was called to Identify the signature on a letter of H. C. Greenul, clerk 1n the treasurer's ofllce. Cross-examination. By Mr. Shields "All of the state treasurers since the world began have been charged in the bill of Indictment with entering Into conspiracy with Sen ator Quay. Did you ever enter Into a conspiracy with Mr. Quay?" Mr. P.eacom answered laughingly, "No, sir," before the district attorney could get In his objection. The objec tion was not pressed. Mr. Beacom left the stand. The district attorney at this point formally offered In evidence all books of bank Identified by clerks except the "red book," stating, however, that he proposed to offer that Interesting vol ume Immediately. There was a buzz of conversation in the court room when this announcement was made, and the lawyers for the defense at once got their heads to.gther for un animated und earnest conference. On a point raised by counsel for tho defensre, the court ruled that the books of the bank will bo admitted; far as they go to prove tho conspiracy charged In the Indictment. The defense up. peared to want the offer limited to Senator Quay's nccount or "alleged ac count." as counsel put It. Contest Commences ou "Red Book." Meyer Goldsmith, an expert account ant, was the next witness, and wns called to prove that tho "red book" was a regular book of tho bank. Prior to his being questioned the district at torney mudo a statement that In prov ing this ho would show that after 1891. when Hopkins became cashier, a new lmok was udded to tho bunk's book, and was kept by the cashier and In Continued on Pass 1.

New York, April 14. HIeliard Croker was on the stand toduy before the Muzet Investigating committee and he will be on the stand again tomorrow. John P. Cnrroll, the Tammany lead er's deputy, wns also put through a course of questions this afternoon. Judge Joseph P. -uly, whom the Dem ocrats refused to nominate for justice of me supreme court last fall, told of his treatment by Mr. Croker ami Tammany, while other prominent wit nesses contributed testimony that went to make the day n most notable one In the Investigation into the city's af fairs. The examination of Richard Cioker wns a remarkable one, chiefly by rca toii of the answers which he returned to the questions propounded to hlin by Mr. Moss. He was brief and direct and took advantage of the ninny op portunities afforded him to retort In a manner that evoked apDlauso many times from those gathered In the com mittee room. Mr. Croker gave events a somewhat dramatic turn, when, after refusing to answer several questions concern ing his private affairs, he held up his right hand and suiu Impressively; "If you can show me where 1 hove, taken u single dollar from the city. .. can cut that arm off." When the Tammany chief went on th stand at the beginning of the day's "esslon Mr. Moss conducted n line of questioning which Mr. Croker evident ly boPeved was a loss of time, for he suddenly leaned forward and said; "It Is not necessary to bring up what ev erybody knows. There Is no use play ing to the gallery; there Is no use mak ing speeches. I am the leader of the lml.,y aml j accnowlcdge It. All these people are my friends nnd I nm going to stick to them nil the time. Just give me a straight talk. I am going to give you straight talk. That is all." Mr. Moss said he would accommo date him, and he endeavored to do so. H drew from Mr. Croker the fact that tho Tammany chief believed that all tho offices of the administration of all departments should go to the victor!- ous political party. "To the victors belong the spoils," he added. Continuing Mr. Croker said that when the Democrats placed men In office, tho patty expected to have those men do what the leaders of the party asked them to do. He himself had recommended tho appointment of vari ous ofliclals nnd the distribution of patronage. Not in every case, how ever, he said, had his wishes been car ried out. He admitted nevertheless that he had considerable amount ot po litical Influence. A matter that Mr. Moss gave atten tion to was Mr. Croker's connection with the auctioneering business con ducted by Peter F. Meyer, by whom the majority of the Judicial sales nre conducted. Mr. Croker said he had been a member of tho firm for some years, and as a true Democrat he ex pected to be befriended lit the way of profit from the sales. "Then you nro working for your pocket?" said Mr. Moss. "All the time, the same as you are," retorted tho witness. "To the boss belongs the lion's share ot the plunder," sneered Mr. Moss. "No plunder, no," said Croker. "You can call it what you like. You can call the bill you send to tho legislature for tin" work you are now doing plunder, If you please." There was loud applause at this, and Mr. Mnzet said ho would clear tho hall )f tll0 applause occurred again, but Mr Moss said he rather liked the applnuse. Mr. Croker then told the committee that It was customary for candidates to olllces to contribute to election ex penses, and stated that some contri butions hud been as high as $S,0o0 or $10,000. He said that the contributions were not compulsory, but were, In many cases, on the contrary voluntary. Perlinpn the most Interesting part of th investigation today was that In which Mr. Croker wns questioned closely us to how he had made hl3 money. Mr. Croker refused to tell of his private affairs, but admitted that he was a member of several com panies, one of which Is the Air and Power cumpuny, with a capital stock of $10,000,000. He said: "I've got noth ing to conceal. If nny one comes to me with a good stock to buy 1 buy It and sii would you. I will not go Into any details of my private business." Mr. Moss endeavored In a persuasive way to Induce Mr. Croker to give fur ther Information on the subject of money making, but tho witness sim ply refused to give details, Incidentally Mr. Croker praised Chief Dovery and tho police department. Somo of Mr. Croker's examination took place at tho morning session nnd some of It In tho afternoon, and ho was on the stand when the hearing adjourned, APPROPRIATIONS RUSHED THROUGH SEVERAL BILLS RETURNED WITHOUT APPROVAL.

FILIPINOS RETREATING NORTHWARD Lawton in Pursuit with Gunboats Abreast of Troops. FIVE WHITES ARE KILLED Major Weisenbergei's Sharp Shoot ers Run Into n Nest of Rebels in Some Thick Bushes Five North; Dnkotlans Are Slain Soldiers En ter San Antonio nnd Meet -with! Little Resistance. Manila, April 14. 7.55 p. m. General Lawton Is marching north ulong tho road between the hills nnd the lake, with the gunboats Nnpldan and Ln guna de Bay abreast of his troops. Tho enemy Is retreating northward. t)n Wednesday the troops crossed tho Pughnnjan nnd concentrated at Lam bun at the mouth of the river. After leaving two companies of tho Four teenth regiment to guard the entranco of the river, the troops marched to Longas and found It deserted. Furnl tuie which hud been dropped in tho tllght of the natives was scattered along the trails leading Into tho hills. Major Weisenberger's sharpshooters wore sent toward Pactos at Contonla, In tho forenoon. They ran upon a nest of rebels In some thick bushes which afforded a splendid cover. Five men of the North Dakota regiment were killed and two were wounded, two of the former dying after having been brought to Longas church, where Father McKlnnon administered the sacrament to them.
