His testimony was out lined un affidavit' which he swore to before ho went into the Grand Jury room. Hansen says that he did not represent Brandt when the man pleaded guilty on March 28, 1007, to burglary in the firsTl degree. He happened, he says, to be in the Part I. of General Sessions on other business. "Judge Rosalalcy presided," says the affidavit, "and on this particular 'morning he had sitting with him on the bench Howard Gans, Mr.

Schiff's attorney, and on the step leading up to the bench was Mr. Iselin, a partner of Mr. Gans ami also a former Assistant District Attorney." Brandt appeared without counsel, Hansen told the Grand Jury. Judge Kosalsky after calling Brandt book from the prisoner's pen asked Hansen to inquire if the prisoner understood proceedings. Hansen complied and Brandt told him "Yes." Hansen said he acted not as cnilnxel, Wit as interpreter, and that it wasn't until April 4, the day Brandt was sentenced, that he appeared as counsel.

Brandt had sent him a letter from the Tombs. There'Hrandt told him, Hansen testified, that it was by Onus's that trie plea of not guilty had been withdrawn and a plea of guilty made.

Ryder's hotel, was caught by a neighbor in another scooter. Justice pf the Peace L. Oreen to-day sentenced the elder. Otto Phoeland, to months In the county jail and hu brother Oeorge to three months. On Saturday afternoon Capt.

Ryder-took George Randall, construction Inspector in the life saving service, across to the Hlue Point station, whero Randall wanted to look, over the ground for a new station. They went in Capt. Ryder's scooter. A- Bcooter Is an amphibious sort of sailing skiff with an Iron shod keel which acta aa a big skate when th fboat changes from Water to ice travel The Patchoguent use them in the winter instead or automobiles. With a good breeze on smooth ice a soooter will travel like a be cylinder racer on Florida sand.

After leaving Randall at the life saving station Capt. Ryder went over to Water Island to see 'what damage the big blow of Wednesday had done to his hotel, the Water House. (The Water House, which has abdut fifty roonw.l has been closed since October. Capt. Ryder found that the lock of the front door had been forced nnd that the door was swinging In the breeze.

He tiptoed off the porch and went around to the barn. When he came back he had a pitchfork. As silently as he could in his boots he made his way upstairs, where he thought heiieurd some one moving about Kery room that he passed was in disorder. Mattresses were rlpjxxl aud lying on the floor, curtains were hanging in shreds, beds were wrecked and crockery was smashed. Whilo he was making a tour qf tlie mfconil floor lie heard steps coming down the rear He ran back to the front door and looked' around Uie'co'rrier'of the porch in time to see two young fellows running across the Ice of Oreat South Bay toward Patchugue.

As the breeze caught the sails of the scooter, however, they began to grow larger very rapidly. hen the pair ahead lound they were pursued they separated. Cant. Ryder held the scooter for the man making the' most direct course to the shore. As tiiey drew up on him he began to dodge aud circle, but the scooter has an advantage on ice.

It wilt answer the slightest touch at the helm, can whirl on its heel without losing momentum and will run almoct into the eye of the wind. Within ten minutes after they set out from the life saving station the three men had overhauled Otto Phoeland, Jr. They tied him securely and looked about for the second man. He was a good mile and a half away und, with four aboard, the little scooter was somewhat sluggish. Capt.

Ryder saw another scooter and made for her. Aboard the Second was Frank Avery of Blue Point. When Cupt. Ryder explained that there was a chance to chase a burglar in a scooter Avery accepted joyfully. He crowded on all sail after the speok out on the Ice and sooii had him safe aboard.

The second prisoner was George Phoeland, Otto's brother. He is 18 years old. Otto is 20. The two prisoners were brought to Patchogue aud locked up, Then, although it was pretty well along toward evening, Capt. Ryder went back to his hotel.

He found that almost everything which would command any money at second hand had been taken all of the tableware' and table linen, bed clothes and kntck-knackB. Thero were several big bundles of rugs rolled up ready to bo taken away, A lot of bathing suits worth 1125 which Capt. Ryder bought at tho end of lost season were also missine. Altogether he figured that his loss was easily $Soo. it was aner mianignt mushed his inventory, but he got out his faithful scooter and started right baok to Patchogue.

He liammered at the door of, Justice of the Peace Oreen und got a search warrant from that official when he came down in night cap and ulster. Then lie went to the Phoeland house in IJayport with Deputy Sheriff Frank Norton. They found a good deal of the stuff that had been stolen there, including practically of the tableware. It filled the buggy uncomfortably full when they started for home. They learned that the Phoeland boys had taken the loot across the Ice In a wheelbarrow and liad mode four trips.

After a talk with the boys Norton arrested Bert Thompson, ,21 years old, but when the three were arraigned before Justice of the Peace Oreen to-day all agreed that ThompHon had advised against the robbery und had been ovorpereuaded to Join in it. Ho was discharged at the request of Capt. Ryder. The captain's plea for clemency also had a good deal to do with the light Hontonco the Phoeland boys got. It was discovered to-day that three bungalows of the R.

W. Caldwell Development Company, which are near the Water House, were also entered while the frozen highway across Great South Day tempted looters. It is not known how much was taken from them. Harmon Denies Deal With Champ Clark. Feb.

The Government started the suits in California to cancel the patents held by the Southern Pacific The la ids were first granted to the Atlantio and Pacific railroad, which forfeited tha grunt. The Southern Pacific then selected the lands under an l.idomnlty grant.

The court held that the title or the Southern Puclflo rested on whether it took under a main line jrant or a branch lino grant. So much of tho lauds as fell within the main lino grant were awarded to the Southern Pacific. The grant within the "branch line were decided in favor of ho Government. 2,600 AFTER THREE PLACES.

Thus it happens that February 29th is an extra day on which Gross Profits in United Cigar Stores are figured as Net Profits and we like to give that profit to our customers. This year it goes to them in the form of TEN CIGARS FREE with every box of 25 of a new cigar we are introducing. It is called the ,1 4 SENSORIA CIGAR The price 6c each $1.50 a box of 5.

The real value of the cigar is ten cents. The price will always be six cents. Besides giving our customers on that day this extra profit, we at the samo time introduce a cigar which we are confident will remain a steadily growing favorite with our customers for many years.
