Fufchasers of Tcmagaml stock ana
mlnlng experts alternated yesterday M
wltnesses at the trlal before Judgc llough
and a 1urv of Albert Freeman. Josiah
Qatacy, Jatlaa Baatketaa and Dr. wui
lam i. Morton. who are .harged with
havlng used the mails to defraud.
Jnaepb T Mandy. a mlnlng engineer in
the employ of the Nlplsslng Mlnlng com
p.nv, came from Canada to testify to
hia report on the Tcmagami-Cobalt. prop
ertlea whlch he made ln October. 1908, at
the instance of Mr. Kreeman.
He sald he had assayed thlrty specl
mena of orc taken from various parts of
the Dlabaae penlnsula and that the a
tey acarcely showed what m.nlng engl
neers would call a trace of Bilver. At tt.e
Gulona ahaft. he sald. a *P*clmen ***
obtained whhh yielded elghteen oun
to the ton, while samples of ore from tM
Blg Hole showed about one ounce of s
ver and a trace or no gold.
Mr Mandv testitted that he never told
tha dffendants that there was no ques
,ton a* to the mertts of thcae m.nlng
claims, and that he had never said o
any of them that gold predomlnated ln
all the aaaaya.

C. A. Thompson, Asslstant Cnited bta.es
Attorney.
? Ycs: he sai.l they were puttlng OP
their own money and were not selling
atock." was the answer.
His tindinge were embod.ed in a report
and aent to Mr. Freeman. Mr. Mand>
testmed. producing a letter fromi?
Freeman acknowledglng the receipt of the
Thomas W. Proctor. of counsel for the
defence. began the croas-examlnat.on Of
Mr. Mandy by asklng him how much
he was to receive for appearing as a
witnesy. The engineer replied that he
would take whatever the government
would pay him. He then admitted that he
had sought employment from Mr. tree
man about two years ago and had been
refused. . .
A copy of his report was submltted to
him by Mr. Froctor for identiticatlon.
After a lengthy quibble Mr. Mandy aa.d
the report was probably his, but refused
to vouch for it without m.nute ??*n?na
tlon Mr. ProctOT did not ofter the paper
ln evidence. but shovved pajMrwh-g
it to the wltaaaa, aaktos him lt thoae
slatem.nts were not true. " 'W"!?
that the report gave an assay or ten
iuncea of silver to the ton on samples
from the Meyera-BUla group of cialrus
? to whlch Mr. Mandy teatitled on dirert
examlnatlon that they had 1101 produced
more than one ounce or ,?????.
?Whlch ls trueV" aaked Mr Proctoi.
"It mal:ea no dlfference, said the wii
hess "Oie with ten ounces of ailverJtO
the ton ia no better than ore with one
ounce of slher to the ton."
When Mr. Froctor tried to have this
answer Btrlcken out Judge Hough, de
rllntd. saving that the witness had teat -
fled that ore of lower grade than II
ounces of silver to the ton could not be
ahlpped profltably from Cobalt.
THEIR NAMES A BURDEN
Three Men Obtain Legal Per

Justice McCali granted the petltionB of
three nien yesterday wiio were displeased
with thelr name* to aasume new ones
more la vonrormlty with their ideas of
what thelr names ought to ba One or
the petitloneis was Frolm Abraham Kried

pecullarly Russian and was contempiu
ooaly applltd by Kusslan oftlciala to a
person of the Hebrew race in ord< r tO

tween that of a Hebrew and a Christlan
Bibltcal name. Friedman aald "Froim'
was slang lor the Biblical name Kphri
am. Besldes. it was dltticult to rememuer
and to pronounce.
Another of the petitloners was Ml
Cabea, who gut permlssion to call him
telf Marcus Cole. Cohen explained that
there were ao many other Cohens that
there v.as inueh confuaion because of the
similanty. Often he would receive rnail
addreaaed to M. Cohen. whl.h waa intend
ed for lome other person cf the satne

aatray in the aame way. Oabtbl said that
the last edltion of the city Uliectory con
talned 2.200 Cohena, of whom 300 had flrat
namts that began with the letter "M."
He aaid that because of the many peraons
of his name he waa charged with miscon

it was not dlscovered untll some time
later that he waa the wrong Cohen.
The other peraon who lnduced the court

GERMAN ANTI-JESUIT LAW
Forty Millions Want it, but
24,000,000 Object to It.
Berlln, Dec. 4?The Jesult queation was
ralsed In the Belrhstag to-day by the
rierlcal leader. Dr. Peter Bpahn. who
dc lared that the Bundesrath's rectnt ln
terpretation of the antl-Jesult law of 1?7'2
harl made more aevere the provlslons of
the iaw, thereby affronting 24.000,000 Cath
ollcs ln the emplre. He read a formal
declaration of the ( lerlcal Centre party,
to the effect that German t'athollcfl. so
far as they are represented by the Clerl
ral party in the Keichstag, "have no con
Bdaaoa that the needs of the t'atholl.s
ln the Qanaaa limplre wlll reclve Just
consideratlon from the Imperlal t'hancel
lor and the Bundesrath, and will order
their ooaguel accordlngly."
The Im[>eri,il ('hainellor, Dr. von Beth
mann-Hollweg, ln reply, defendcd the
Bundesrath's declston as only an inter
pr.tatlon of a law forty yeara old. This
dcclMon ln effect holds that Bavarla's i<

the enforcement of the Imperlal leglala

The Chancellor declared that the Prot
estants have always bltterly oppose.l the
Jesults, who also in the pnat have not
heen tolerated even in certaln Catholh
coijiitrles on acfount of "their mllltant
actlvlty ln politlcs, the church and the
arboola. their Internatlonal charact.-r and
their opposltion to the growth of the

While 24,000,000 <'athol|en wanted the

Chancellor, 4",ono,000 Protestants wanted
lt letained. and he warned the Centrlats
agalnst a rtnewal of the rellgious confllct
of the 70 s.
A Sociallst speaker assured the Cleti
cals that his party would support any at

most on the same line with treatment
of the inaane. They need medlcal at
tentlon and care that la polnted toward
training them to withstand the craving
for he drug, instead of lmprlsonment
that makes no effort to take away their
unnatural desire.
"For that reaaon alone I will favor
the amendment as propoaed by Aaaem
blvman Smith, an?l I feel sure we can
add lt to the law at thia coming aesaion
Of tho Legislature."
The plan to commit cocaine habltuea
and those who pose aa habltuea, with
a vlew to evading the strlngent lawa
against tho sale of the drug. to the
farm colony aoon to he opened by the
Board of inebriety in Orange County
haa yet to meet with a dlssentlng volce.
Not only ia it characterlzed aa a ehar
ity to the alavos of the hablt, but lt la
also looked upon aa an efflcient meana
of folling tho dealers in cocaine, whom
the courts are in the hablt of pttnish
ing with llght sentences or dlacharging
altogether when they aro crafty
cnough to malntain that the druga
found on their persons are for thelr
own tise.
Praaent Law Too Looaa.
Tho unwillinRness of the courta to
(aMVtet persons found with the drug in
thelr posseHSlon when they awear that
they are addlcted to its use, even
though tho law now rates possession
without ? physlclan's preacrlptlon as
proof presumptive of the intcnt to sell,
haa already beon pulntcd out by The
Trlbune. Numbera of rogular pedlers
of the drug are said to have escaped
the conserjuenceB of their crime by tak
lng advantage of this condltlon.
Tho passago of a law rommitting
habltuea to the' inebriety farm, how?
ever. will effectually put a stop to this
praetlet, lt is held. If examination by
a medical board fails to disclose any
tr.'i'os of the ravages of the drug, the
person found with it illegally in his
possession will be promptly convhted
under the present law. If, on the other
hand, he ia actually found to be a drug
user, he wlll be commlttod to the farm.
The law will have him coming and
golng." as the saying ls.
The lmperatlve neceasity of having
some n.eans of dealing, not only with
sellers of the drug, but also with Its
vlctims. was explalned yesterday by
Dr. C B Campbell. chief medical ex
aminer of the State Hoapital Commis?
sion, whlch has charge of the insane
asvlums of the state.
? Th- cocaine habit." said Dr. Camp?
bell. "has caused n.any a man who
might otherwise ha\e led a compara
tlvely moral llfe to become a thief or
evtn a murderer. It ls far more dan
geious than aleoliollsm. not only to the
vlctim, but to society as well. It de
prive* its slaves of all moral sense, so
that under its iufluence there is no
crin.e to whlch they will not stoop.
"Men have been known to commit
lnurder merely for the sake of obtaln
lng a llttle of the 'white stuff.' An
nlooholic will never descend that far.
The hablt is far more insidlous than
alcohollatn and a hundred timea harder
to bjaat The effects of the drug on
the nerxous aystem of the user are a
great deal more harmful and rapld
than alcohol.
Secrecy Makes It Worse.
"The public does not fully reahze tho
extent of the hablt at the preaent time.
The alvoliolio habitue is more open with
his habit. He takes his enjoyment in
public places and is more ilable to be
taken Into tustody. The drug user,
however, snuffs his poison ln secret.
and it is only at odd tntervals that
some poor orazed vlctim daahea naked
into the street, perhaps, and haa to ba
plcked up by the polloe."
Dr. Campbell went on to say that the
man found under the Influence of any
atrong drug, or having it on his per
aon, ahould be brought before tha
Board of Medical Examlners, and, if
tho examination warranted, be commit
ted to aome lnatitutlon, in exactly tha
aame manner as is now done with
chronic drunkarda. It was lmpoaslble,
he polnted out, for the atate Insane
asvlums to take care of such cases, for,
whlle some developed protracted de
luslons, the greater number recovered
their normal mentality ln a faw lays.
The habit, however, Dr. Campbell
sald, waa a straight road to Insanity,
and the percentage of lunatics sent to
the state hospttals who owed thelr de
generacy to an excesslve use of drugs
was increasing. "Coke," partlcularly,
ho explalned, produced pleasant delu
slons in the mlnds of its users. whlch,
as the habit hecame flxed, tended to
become permanent. If the vlctim was
treated early enough. however, he could
he cured of the hablt, Just as the farm
colony hoped to put habltual drunk
ard8 on their feet again.
Inebriety Board to Act.
Thomaa J. Colton. preaident of tha
Board of Inebriety, sald last nlght that
tho final arrangements for the purehasa

days if all goes well. He spent all day
yesterday amoothing out the flnal klnks
in the negotiationa, and wlll have the
matter ready for the Corporatlon
Counsel before the end of the week.
The people committed to the inebriety
farm wlll be treated as sick men. not
as erlmlnals, and every method of mod
ern sclence wlll be exerted to make
them aelf-aupporting, aelf-reapecting

Up to January the four datectlvea ap
pear to have had a rovlng commtsaton to
capture cocaine vendera. On the afflda?
vits whlch they signed ln the magiatrates'
courts they described themselves aa Cen?
tral Offlce detectlves. Of the three de?
fendanta who came to trlal last Januarv
one of them was arrested on Kaat 16th
street and the other two on West 3*th
Street. That clrcumstance would seem to
show that the detectlves were not aa
elgned to any particular pre^ ln<t or dis?
trict, but that they went to various pana
of the city to piek up cocaine sellera.
It la the opinion at tha District Attor
ney'a offlce that men who have had expe
rienee in deallng with any particular form
of crime or vice are able to present thtaT
evidence ln better shape when they make
arrests than those who makea arreata tov
the same cjb*>ie, but who have not had
much prevloua experience with crimes o'.
that nature. It waa sald that whlle men
experienced in the ways of cocaine sellers
mlght hava some trouhle ln avoldlns rei
cgnltion, yet their knowiedge of their
quarry and its hablta would hep them to
offset that dlfflculty.
As a matter of fact most of tlie caa*'
whlch dete'tlves bring to General Sesslons
against men charged with selling cocaine
rest on the testimony of some user of th?
drug who is actlng sb stool plgeon for ;he

It was sald that a somewhat akautf
