Mr. Dresser saldr "Now you will ask me
what I did Bay?"
Mr. Utermeypr, attorney for the bond
holders, told the witness to go on and tell
what did happen. 'and. the witness went on:
"8I weeks ago I saw Mr. Oaten and told
him that If Mr. Schwab' would take his
grip off Bethlehem the shipbuilding com
pany would bo an right. I went to the
office of Harris. Gates & Co. In the Inter
ests of the shipbuilding- company. Mr.
Schwab has taken this means at putting !t
before the pub'lc to show that I was there
to plead with him. I said that If he would
give us any decent plan of reorganization
nd not the, confiscation plan that haa been
proposed 1 said the company would be all
right. i
"ays Scbtrao Wrecked Company.
"I went over this shipping matter with
Charley Harris six weeks ago. I told him
then that the wrecking of the shipbuilding
company was due to Mr. Schwab with
holding the profits of Bethlehem Instead of
letting them go Into the shipbuilding com
pany where they belonged. I asked Mr.
Harris to telephone to Mr. Schwab and he
did so. If qut of the muss and the mire
the shipbuilding company can be rehabili
tated, that la what I want to sen done. I
have no financial Interest, but I feel that
It will help me."
"Did you say anything to Mr. Schwab
about his liability In this matter?" asked
Mr. Utermeyer. ' I .
"No, I did- not." said .the witness, "that
Is a legal question and I knew nothing
I about It."
Mr. Dresser said that when he undertook
the shipbuilding project ' for the Trust
Company of tho Republic .he believed that
$,ono,ono "had been ""underwritten ' In- Fiance.
, 'In the course of his testimony Mr. Dres
ser mentioned the names ft Herbert L.
Satterlee, C. W. Wetmore, George R. Shel
don and several other members of the re
" organisation committee. Mr. Satterlee Is
at-1 son-in-law of J. Plerpont Morgan. His
use of these names caused Mr. Outhrle to
protest that all such testimony was Irrela
Vent and Incompetent. At this point a
i recess was announced.
: - At the afternoon Mr. Dresser testified
yhat he protested - against ' the terms of
tlie taking over of the. , shipbuilding In
terests of,iha Trust -Company of the Re
iiiiibllc by the Sheldon syndicate, because
,bi believed the terms to be unfair. The
Witness testified that when he told Max
iam that he, Dresser. Was compelled to
, ihake an assignment, Pam told him that
hi! must resign at once from the ship
building board. Mr. Dresser said that "Mr.
Tam was running the whole company."
' One Ignorant Director.
'Mr. Dresser was succeeded on the stand
by George p. Dalley, assistant treasurer
of tho Corporation Trust company of New
.Jersey and one of the 'resident directors
In New Jersey of the shipbuilding com
pany. He testified that his company made
a practice of furnishing resident directors
Dor corporations organised In New - Jer
sey and that he and two of his fellow
.clerks. Messrs. .Newman- and Seward, had
been .made directors of the shipbuilding
company. He did not know who had asked
him to act as a director, but understood
that the arrangement was made byAlexan
der & Green, with, tho New ' York branch
of his compajiy. He pM a single share
of stock had been bought for him In order
that he might 'qualify, but did not know
who had tal.d for it or how it had been
paid for. ,
'. After much' fenrlng Ae said he did not
have a personal bank; account at the time
he acquired the qualifying share. He re
membered attending eJL leant two meetings,
but kepf interring Mry. Vtermyer to the
minutes fert Informatinn'-as to what had
seen, done .tvfhe .meetings. He had not
visited any of the plant .end, had not or
dered ' ajoj appraisement of property and,
while he , admitted that he and his fellow
directors:' Ur MeN Jersey knew nothing pf
the shipbuilding business, except such In
formation' as reached them In the docu
ments laid before him. He would not ad
mit he ja merely a dummy director. He
finally raid, however, that he and the others
acted on the direction of the attorneys for
the company. H knew of the Vnlon Iron
works, through the piess, but did not know
There the Bath Iron works are.

on the boys, girls and baby outfitting
business. We do not believe parents
come to us Just because we're the

The egg market all depends on the

fancy eggs are 20 cents. If the sky con-

as there are only about six or eight doien
of them in a whole case.
The butter market Is going In for a tonic.
It is weaker. The report comes from New
York that there has been a drop of lhi cents
lately, the difficulty being the very heavy
deliveries, over 14,000 packages In one day.
As New York sets the fashion for the. local
market, there Is Just now little demand for
the low grade butter. Creameries ,are
marked for 21 cents, dairies. In' Individual
tubs, IS to 17 cents snd the plain butter
Just 13 cents. .
The black bass have been welcome
enough during the last week or so and the
lovers of game fish have been happy. .The
bass of two pounds or ,a little less la the
popular fish,' as he Is Just the proper size
for serving in the restaurants. Now they
have bass from down south that weight' as
much as ten pounds, especially those
that drop off the hook when , the
surface Is reached, but they . are
too large for anything but family
partlfs of the sort Mr. Roosevelt
admires. So they are not In much demand.
Take It all In a.11. the right slued bass are
scarce, the trouble being the game laws
which limit the catch. .A nice line 'of bull
heads are now supplying the market at 11

TRIAL ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Courtroom Growdsd to Hear Case Against
Alleged Bribe Takers.
GOVERNMENT SPRINGS BIG SURPRISE
Stenographer Who Was. Concealed la
Room When One Defendant Made
taytement to 8aperlor Reads
Record of Interview.
CINCINNATI, O.. Oct. 14,-Flandlng
room was In demand In the United States
district court room on the second day of tha
trial of Miller and Johns for conspiracy
to extort a bribe In connection with the
recently exposed postal frauds. Nine wlt
netwes were examined today anVl the gov
ernment has four more to call, so that
the defense will not begin until the after
noon of the third day and the citse may
not go to the Jury until the last of the
week. Much Interest Is being taken In
the anticipated appearance of the de
fendants on the witness stand.
Court was In session today from 9 a. m.
until after 6 p. m. Tho principal witnesses
were Ryan and the officials from Washing
ton. The defense was not taken by surprise
until In the afternoon, when the steno
graphic Mjorts of the private Secretaries
of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow and of General Robb of Inter
views with Miller were Introduced as
evidence.
Joseph T. Watson, secretary and ste
nographer to the fourth assistant pnxtmas
ter general, testified to being concealed In
the ofllc9 while General Robb end CMef
Inspector Cochran had their first lntclew
with Miller about the report of postoflce
Inspectors regarding the decisions In the
Ryan caw and the discovery of his rela
tions with Johns. Ho then read from his
original stenographic notes all that was
said during tho two hours and more that
these officials were thus questioning Miller
regarding tho case. It required one hour
and a half for him to read tho notes, which
he went over minutely. The difference of
an hour In time was accounted for by the
witness because of the hesitation of Miller
at times during tho Interview.
-The sensational appearance of Watson on
the stand wns followed soon afterward with
Charles H. Robb, assistant attorney general
for the Postofflce department, being cnlled
and ho produced a copy of the transcribed
stenographic notes of his secretary, Mr.
Tullls, of another long Interview with Mil
ler when the same parties were present. At
the first meeting of Miller with Robb and
ocnrnn tne aerenaant aia not Know that a
stenographer was concealed In the room, as
he did In tho last case, when he mads an
equally lengthy statement and signed the
report made by Mr. Tullls.
Much Detective Work.
The extent of the detective work that has
been done In these cases by the government
was never disclosed until during the after
noon session, when verbatim reports of
these Interviews of Miller were submitted
In evidence, notwithstanding the objection
and exception of counsel for the defense.
It Is now known that more of the detective
work of the government will be disclosed
tomorrow, when postofflce Inspectors are to
take the stand.
When the trial was resumed today the
direct examination of Ryan was still In
progress. At the adjournment of cburt last
night Judge Thompson took under advise
ment the objection of counsel to Ryan
testifying to what Johns said to him about
what Miller may have said to Johns con
cerning future difficulties.-'
W hen court convened today . Judge
Thompson decided that a prima facia ease
had been sufficiently made out to permit
the testimony of Ryan to be admitted.
Counsel for the defense excepted to the
ruling and the examination of Ryan by
the government counsel were resumed,
while Ryan proceeded to repeat In attain
a conversation between Johns and himself
In a room at a Terre Haute hotel, during
which the witness claimed to have made a
contract with Johns for $4,500 for favorable
ruling from Miller.
Counsel for the defendants interposed
frequent objections, which were overruled
by Judge Thompson. Ryan also testified
that all his future transactions were with
Johns as the middle man up to last Decem
ber, when Johns came to Cincinnati and
they met in a room at the Gibson house,
where Ryan gave Johns $1,100 In cash and
$3,400 In two Checks.
Ryan continued his story abo-it subsequent
transactions in which he said Johns wanted
more funds right along until the witness
finally made a statement of the whole mat
ter to the postofflce Inspectors and made no
further efforts to get bets on the races
through hs mails.
Severe Cross-Examlnatlon.
The cross-examlnatloji of Ryan by
Charles W. Baker was terrific, the most
prominent question being: "Of how many
murders are you gulltyT" When Ryan re-
plied that he had been acquitted of the only
murder for which he was tried, then fol
lowea questions as to shooting scrapes
and arrests, mostly connected with a sa
loon formerly conducted by Ryan In St
Louis. He was also examined at length
about his trial for alleged passing of bad
checks, and questioned about different ar
rests, one of them being for securing the
corpse of a Chinaman. Baker had Ryan
admit that he gave Johns, In his own
handwriting, a complete statement of his
bookmaklng, so the latter as his attorney
could present the case to the Postofflce do
partment. This document was on tho lelter
head of the FUbeck hotel at Terre Haute,
ina . ana was submitted In evidence, as
were also the contracts for $2,500 and fo
$2,000, on the same letter heads and In the
same handwriting of Ryan. It wss brought
out that there was to be no division of
the $2,000 for the revision of Ryan's sd
vertlslng literature. Ryan admitted that
he took In over $1,000,000 through the malls
and had $.'00,000 on hand when the post
office Inspectors took charge of his con
cern.
Hiram . Rullson, next cross-examined
Ryan as to why he had not been Indicted
as well as Miller and Johns. The witness
denied that any bargain had been made
or Immunity promised him. On redirect
examination, Ryan testified that Johns
dictated the statements snd contracts that
were In his handwriting on the FUbeck
hotel letter heads.

What Hallway Mall Clerk Fonad.
Strange tales are told of what men In
tha tr. S. Railway Mall service some
times find.
There was one clerk, hungry snd down
hearted who found a food hlut one night
In the following way: "For months
suffered from chronlo indigestion, Impov
erished blood and shattered nerves caused
by the improper selection of food. Was
In the habit of making a breakfast Of
coarse and pasty food, accompanied by the
free use of coffee and these combined to
almost shatter my digestive organs.
"I was employed 1n the Railway Mall
service snd assigned to duty on a night
(lne where it was necessary to eat at ir
regular hours during the night. Everything
I ate no matter how light not only failed
to nourish but distressed and nauseated
me and 1 was reduced in weight from 150
to 12$ pounda. My memory was fast fall
Ing and I was a nervous wreck unfit for
duty and discouraged In view of the fact
that I must soon give up my r'd position.
"One night when the world seemed dark
est to me I read among a sack of mail the
words 'Grape Nuts' and wondered If It was
something good to eat. Arriving' at the
end of my run I bought a package, and
nothing ever tasted belter; from that day
I began to gala mentally and physically
f sained 11 rjounds In two months on
Grape-Nuts food and kept on steadily In
creasing my weight to 147 pounds.
"Grape-Nuts Improved and steadied my
brain and nerve powers so that I was able
to pass my next examination with a good
grade and soon got a premotton and wss

VENEZUELANS ARE ANGRY
Charge Umpires ai Bring Corrupt for
Deciding Against Their Conntrj.
SPANISH MINISTER TO' LEAVE CARACAS
Made Snbjert of Jest and 4 hnrareri
with Accepting Bribe for Award
ing; Money to Mexican
Claimant.
W1LLEMSTAD, Inland of Curacoa. Oct.
14. Passengers arriving here from Cara
cas, V'eneiuela. confirm the reports- of
attacks made by tho government news
papers on the umpires of the mixed tri
bunals,, who have given decisions adverse
to Venrsuela. The passengers add that
the conduct of President Castro and the
offloial press shows that Venezuela does
not understand the respect due to the
mixed tribunals and umpires, and ssy
It was a mistake to select Caracas as the
seat of the tribunal.
When Minister Bowen's Mexican proto
col was signed, the king of Spain, as re
quired, appointed Senor Gaytan de Ayala,
the Spanish minister to Venezuela, as
Mexican umpire and Veneiuela was
pleased, but the newspapers of Caracas
have recently Insulted him, owing to his
having rendered a verdict In favor of
Mexico. Senor Ayala, who Is rich and Inde
pendent, could not be suspected of partial
ity, but In spite of this the Caracas press.
when he rendered his verdict, caricatured
him, representing the mjnlster with bags
of silver In his hands and snylng that
the balance of Justice went to the side
of Mexico In consequence of the weight
of money which Mexico gave him."
Charges Bad Faith.
Another paper represented the Spanish
minister as an ass sitting In an umpire's
chair. El Nacclonnl, the organ of donee.fi
Hernadez, the Venezuelan minister at
Washington, which has been the most bit
ter in Its attacks on foreigners, on one
occasion said: "The award Is the out
come of rancor, due, to the conduct of
Venezuela toward the Suanlsh sonsul at
a Guayra, or of bad faith, or Ignorance.
Incldently, It U stated on good author
ity that General Irlbaren, the Venezuelan
commissioner, recognized -''illty of
the Mexican claim, whlc' o ap
proved by the-minister oi :
President Castro alone opptsn.
Another paper of Caracas said: i. U
strange that Mexico, of the same race,
language, continent, religion and history,
should dare to ask money from her 'lter
republic, Venezuela."
Finally the Spanish minister became so
incensed that he decided to leave Caracas
October 9. He turned over the Spanish le
gation to the secretary, Senor J Gil Del
gado, and made his preparations to embark
for Spain October 10. One of the passengers
from Caracas said that as a result of
President ' Castro's policy trade in Ven
ezuela was stagnant, the people having
no confidence In his administration.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 14.-Three Inter

eastern missionary convention of the Meth

Music. Bluliop Cyrus D. Fobs of this city
presided. The general toplo of the day was
"The Difficulties In the World's EVangell
cafTon," divided Into several subjects as:
At Home, Abroad, In Europe, In Latin
America, and, In the Cities. Parts of the
three sessions were taken up with singing,
scriptural reading and prayer.
One of the principal addresses of the
morning session was that of the Rev. Dr.
H. K. Carroll, assistant corresponding sec
retary of the missionary society, who spoke
on home missions. He devoted most of his
address to the negro Question and gave It
as his opinion that In Christian missionary
work at home was the solution of the race
problem. "The black man has claims upon
us to which we cannot be Indifferent. He
constitutes more than one-tenth of our pop
ulation and tie Is not dying out like the
red mart nor committing race suicide like
the white man, but Is Increasing and multi
plying." He believed that the gospel was not only
the surest but the cheapest way In the end
of solving the race problem "where men
can say as Christians" we' are brethren,
no police power, he added "will be neces
sary to constrain them to dwell In peace
and unity." .
Dr. Carroll attacked Mormonlsm. He said
a Methodist has almost as much faith In
the religion of Moslem as In that of Mor
mon, the foundation of which was lald'ln
fraud, and Its history was fraught with
violence and crime. "There, Is no people
among our cltlsens more In' need of the
gospel than Utah and the Mormons. It Is
the plague spot of our clvllixatlon, ' th
open sore of our body."
Rev. J. E. Helms of Morgan Memorial
church, Boston, also spoke on home mis
sions. He declared that trades unions
should be Christianised. "If we were wise,"
he said, "we should see to it that from our
schools and seminaries every year we would
send missionaries into these greut labor or
ganisations to make them Christians. Here
la open a wonderful opportunity for which
the church thus far has been blind."
MAE WOOD JDENIES STORY
Says that Reports of Salt Against
New York Senator Are
False.
NEW YORK. Oct. 14.-Mlsa Mae C. Wood,
to whom has been attributed the purpose of
Instituting a suit for breach of promise of
marriage against Senator T. C. PlMtt on
the eve of his msrrlage with Mrs. Janeway
of Washington, arrived at the Manhattan
hotel this afternoon from Ontario county.
New York, where she had been at the bed
side of a sick relative. Miss Wood ex
pressed herself In terms of Indignation re
garding the publUhed rumors and said she
was not Interested in sny person's matri
monial affairs. The only persons who are
apt to get Into trouble, she added, are those
who are at the bottom of those silly rumors.
When asked If she knew Senator Piatt
he said:
"Of course I know him. I have known
him for several years. He has always been
friendly to me and I esteem him highly. ' I
regret the publication of these ridiculous
stories as very unfortunate and distress
ing." To a reporter Senator Piatt said:
"I have seen the statements about Miss
Wood In newspspers and regret that any
thing should have been published to her
discredits. Of course sll the suggestions l-
regard to lawsuits are absurd and r'dlc
ulous. I have known Miss Wood for s long
time and with the senators from her own
siate recommended her for a position In the
Postofflce department. So far s I know
she has performed her duties satisfactorily.
I regard her as a lady of One attainments. "

VICTIM OF BRUTAL ASSAULT
Michael Donnelly Hai Narrow Escape from
Murder in Chicago.
TRUE REASON FOR HIS 1LNESS
Detectives Locate Men Gnllty of the
Attack and Aro tv llnnttni;
for the InsHirntors (
V the Crime.
CHICAGO, Oct. 14,-M!chael Donnelly,
International president of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Rutchermen, lies at his
home recovering from a vicious assault
that was alleged to have been Instigated
by the labor leaders, who are opposing
his attempts to purify the Chicago Federa
tion of Labor.
Donnelly was attacked on the night of
September 23, while returning from a
meeting of the Tatklng Trades council, the
central trades union body of the stock
yards. For ten days the doctors ex
pressed little hope of his . recovery and
gave cut a report that he was suffering
from physic. j br'-nit down caused by over
work. Private detectives were set to work and
they have Just announced that the guilty j
mm are annwn ana win De arrestea as
soon as the inst'g-iturs of the assault arc
known.
Asked (o Keep Hands Oil.
When ' Donnelly on July 6 charged the
secretary of-a largo employers' association
with "fixing" labor leaders, he was told
by outside pirtles to "keep his hands off."
He continued .the fight, and as a result
charges were made against several of the
most Important officials of trades unions
In the city. Then came threats of per
sonal violence, but these Donnelly ignored,
declaring that he Would clear up the case
at any cost.
The attack on Donnelly -came Just at. the
opening -of a series of conferences between
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and the
packing interests '.of thei country. Don
nelly, was?, to hs.ve, 'spoken ' for the men and
all knew . that absence, from the meeting
would mean demoralisation. His close ad
visers snd- the. officials of the union real
ised this and gave ont tke rc,xrt that he
was temporarily ill.
Vice President C. B. Schmidt of the
union, took hla place at the head of com
mittee which dealt with the particulars
and the men were pacified with the infor
mation that he we.s working under Don
nelly's orders.
