IN HEISTAND INQUIRY.
Li. S. Hoel Tells of ' Allegcil Tlircriis
Made l>y Haula-s AjraSnst
Parties in Combine.
WASHINGTON, D. C, October 7.—
George:- D. ; Meiklejohn, formerly Assis
tant Secretary of War, was a witness be
fore the Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee, at the Heistapd investigation, to-ciay.
He said that when the. proposition was
made to him by Colonel Heistand to take
stock in the hemp company, he replied
that, he" would give it' his consideration
when he had leisure.
He explained at length Major Hawkes's
uppointment to a position in. the Philep
pirie sei^'ice, and asserted that thu ap
pointment -' had nothing to do with
Hawkes's controversy with Heistand.
OPENING AND CLOSING OF PORTS.
Mr. Meiklejohn explained that the open
ing and closing of lieinp ports- . in the
Philippines was wholly within the control
of the military governor of the islands,
and ho could not, and would not il" he
could, have influenced him in the mat
ter. He '; said that he saw uo impropriety
In officers' of tJie gov-eru'rueiVi' vesting m
such an enterprise as the proposed hemp
company, if- they desired to d 0.."..50:
Mr. Meiklejohn emphatically denied the
allegations that he had at any time used
his position to pay Heistand's' obligations.
ALLEG32D THREATS BY HAWKES.
L. S. Holt, of North Carolina, testified.
as to conversations ho had had with
Major Hawkes concerning the settlement
of the iatter's alleged claim against the
proposed company. Hawkes had said that
Tic wouid "get even" with certain parties
hi "the hemp; combination if they did not
settle" with him. He said, that Hawkes
had told him he would have an - investiga
tion which would involve ■ high; onicials
■if the government. Hawkes had not said
to him' that ho would stop the- inveSUga
iion for $S0O: ' " ,
The committee announced tha: jt/.would
conclud.;- to-morrow the taking: of tesll
•jiony, lor the present. At a date if u e
announced ; later some, other ■ witnesses
will be examined," and the committee then
•will makeup its report.

GOOCHLAND COURTHOUSE, 'October
T. — At a. meeting- of \he Democratic Courity
Committee held at Goochland, Courthouse,
on Saturday, October sth, Mr.W. T. St.
Claire was made temporary chairman,
and an effort was then made to reconcile
the party differences in the ' county, one
faction being led-.. by ex-Senator F. ,M.
Parrisli: and the other by Judge Monteiro.
• Tlie. trouble arose over the contested
committee from Licking. District, which
both leaders claimed. • ; .
A motion was in a do. tha?. the cbmmit
teemen whose seats were uncontested
from the other districts should -.meet and
decide the contest.
The chairman, however, refused to put
the motion, wherefore, "Judge"; Monterio
moved that his committee be seated with
out further evidence, and- the chairman
ruled accordingly.
The Parrish men, claiming the ruling
was unparliamentary, ana without, prece
dent,! withdrew to the jury-room with
nine of the sixteen." cominitteemen and
proceeded to organize anew Democratic
party. \
Mr.* Ll M. Pitts was unanimously; elect
ed chairman; and J. Colon Page, secre
tary. " . .. . .■: .. ■- .
The members were th«i instructed to
hold "■ themselves in readiness for, an early
call from their '■■'chairman',"- and, at this
