No British Allowed to Land.

NEW YORK, April pa special
to the World from Corinto says
During the first day after the
British vessels arrived here some
OF the officers and sailors were al
lowed to disembark. Last night
none were allowed to visit shore
except one officer who went to the
post and telegraph offices. There
has been much signaling and pass
ing to and fro in small boats be-
tween the ships. Great activity
was noticed on board. The men
drilled at the guns over two hours.
1t was announced that Admiral
Stephenson and his officers will
visit the port. The port captain
and the ship captains have en-
changed the customary courtesies.
Telegraphic orders have been re.
ceived to show all possible cour-
tesy to the British, but under no
circumstances to allow an armed
force to land. Over fourteen hun
dred men are under arms here
now. The merchants here have
offered $4,000 to the government
to help pay Great Britain's claim,
but no answer has yet been re-

WASHINGTON, April 26.-When
the United States Supreme court,
on May sixth, again takes up the
income tax question, it will go
more into the merits Of the points
involved, and will not, as its order,
made Thursday, apparently stated,
contine the arguments to the ques-
tion whether or not a rehearing Of
the cases shall be granted. This
unexpected explanation Of the
courts order shows what it in
tended to state in its ambiguous
announcement was that it had
granted the petition for rehear-
ing and If the bench is full on the
date named, would reopen the

AMERICAN ODD FELLOWS
Celebrate Their 10Th Anniversary
Today.

New YORK, April 26.-The 10Th
anniversary Of the founding of Odd
Fellowship will be celebrated in
all parts of the country today. The
greatest celebration OF the Eastern
lodges is the fair which has been
going on the past week in the
Lenox Lyceum, this city, to raise
funds for the erection Of home for
aged and infirm Odd Fellows. Dur
ing the last twenty years many
homes have been erected in differ
ent parts Of the United States for
the reception Of members grown
helpless. At present there are
three such institutions in this
state, but not one is available to
the 10000 Odd Fellows resident in
this city and the suburban towns.
This fact has long since empha-
sized the great need OF a home in
this locality. The local Odd Eel
lows lodges incorporated the In
dependent Order of Odd Fell
lows, Home association Of New
York. The adopted plans Of the
new home show the facade to be
novel blending of the Norman
with the Tudor style Of architec-
ture. The building will be four
stories in height, with a frontage
of 100 feet. The main structure
and bow windowed wings will have
a respective depth OF 10 and SO feet
The middle building will be
crowned by an open cupola sup
ported by eight Doric columns OF
corrugated granite. A central one
story extension OF 90 by 80 feet
provides for the kitchen and din
ing room. The institution will con-
tain fifty-siX rooms for inmates,
and these apartments will contain
all modern cOnveniences and i'm
provements. The proposed home
will be constructed Of either terra
Gotta and brick or snowflake mar
BILE. 1t is estimated that the build
ing when completed will cost about
$4,000.
The total membership Of the or
der in the United States and Cana
da is 77S,445, according to the last
yearly lodge returns.

JAFFRAY ESTATE SETTLEMENT
Creditors offered an Immediate Pay.
ment of rs Cents on the 81.


New YORK, April pa propo.
sition has been made to the cred
itors of E. S. Jaffray & Co., for a
settlement on a basis OF 70 cents on
the dollar. Circulars to that effect
have been sent to the creditors.
The first circular is as follows;
"Dear Sirs You are no doubt
aware of the fact that the firm Of
f 5. Jaffray & Co. was dissolved
and receivers appointed Of it's prop
erty by order OF the Supreme
court of this state dated March %,
1895. We understand that circu-
lar has been received by certain
creditors Offering to purchase
claims against the said firm. This
circular was issued without our
knowledge, consent, or approval.
We take it for granted that you are
familiar with the delay and eX-
penses thatusually attend the wind
ing up of an old and extensive bus
mess at the hands Of receivers. AS
representing the estate Of the late
Edward S. Jatfray, for many years
senior member of the firm of f. ;.
Jatfray & Co., we hereby offer to
purchase anything representing
claims against the said firm at 10
per cent of face value, less trade
discount. The details connected
Herewith will be attended to by
Messrs. Miller X Phillips and
Messrs. Frank d Einstein, Of this
city. Yours very truly,
J. r. p. WOODRUFF,
F. w. j. HURST,
Executors"
The second circular signed by
Frank Il Einstein and Miller 4
Phillips is as follows:
ave inclose for your signature
consent to the proposition of sew
enty-tive per cent in cash to be paid
within five days from the date of
your consent. ON behalf of the
mem bers composing the firm Of +.
s. Jatfray x Co., we wish to state
that they reluctantly ask their
creditors to take less than one hun
dred cents, but the situation is such
that they feel compelled to ask this
rebate. Not with the hope Of saw
ing anything for themselves, but
their name, and, if possible, some
thing for the minor heirs who were
beneticiaries under Mr.. Jatfray's
will"
The firm was one Of the oldest in
this country, having been organ
lied in 1909. The annual business
has always been tremendous and
the importations were large. The
credit of the firm both at home and
abroad was excellent.

voice Ol Inquiry On bno " ~
ness Stand.
NEW YORK, April 26 "A morn
ming paper says that John McCabe,
formerly second assistant chief Of
the fire department, killed himself
because Of worry incident to the
Senatorial investigation Of charges
Of bribery. Mr.. McCabe was to
have been witness, possibly the
first to be called today. At the in
vestigation by the special commit
tee Of the State Senate into the
charges OF corruption, in COnnec-
ton with the fire department legis-
lation, made by the New York
press. He was to have been put in
the witness chair by Editor Quigg
and questioned as to his knowledge
concerning the alleged raising a
fund for corrupt use at Albany.
Elihu Root, who is the attorney
for the Press in this investigation
before the senators, has been the
legal adviser OF McCabe. When
Henry d. Purroy, as a fire commits
sioner, forced McCabe out Of the
department, Mr.. Root was the at
tOrney who fought for the fireman
until the Supreme court restored
him. That was in 1877. He be-
came well acquainted with Gen. La
Grange and it is now claimed that
Mr.. McCabe communicated to Mr..
LaGrange certain information con-
corning the raising Of fund to aid
in securing legislation at Albany.
AS Mr.. McCabe spoke Of these
matters they were reported to be
hearsay evidence. Gen. LAGRANGE
communicated some OF these state
ments to Mr.. Root, the counsel in
the case. When Mr.. Root heard
these statements from the COM
missioner he sent for McCabe and
questioned him on the subject.

mentioned. We got an opera-glass; we passed
it from eye to eye, and we soon unanimously
decided that it was a vehicle, and actually a
furniture-truck! Who could the individual
be who was sufficiently original TO drive out
in furniture-truck under the rain of bombs
and shells which inundated the road? The
moment was certainly ill-chosen for such a
journey. Once prOiectile fell so close to
the truck that we expected to see IL pull
up. 1t did not, however, but continaed to
approach. ~
When it got within few steps Of3us the
Captain, who had always declared that Moth
ing could startle him, was unable to sup
press gesture of astonishment. In the
front of the truck, seated on a red satin sofa
and wrapped in a camel's-hair shawl, was a
remarkably beautiful woman. She was
fair, and pink, and smiling, and her large,
blue eyes showed not the slightest emotion.
Behind her were piled together peil-mell
silk curtains, buhl cabinets inlaid with
m0ther-of-pearl, rosewood tables, looking
glasses, bronzes, and all sorts OF expensive
furniture. A japanese vase held n great
green plant, which waved it's leaves over
her head TO protect her from the sun; and
amid this confusion, with her calm face,
she looked like Princess in Chinese
palace.
A man in blouse was leading the horses
by the bride. He was covered with dirt
! from the shells, and his palor contrasted
with the placidity of the woman he was es-
corting.
When she reached us she gave the order

Captain.
GOOD morning, Captain. Pm very glad
TO be among Christians at last I'm like the
snail, you see; / travel with my house on
my back-through the bombs"
And she burst out laughing.
She was really charming, and / should
never have guessed that so much pluck
could be hidden under such a delicate ex-
terror.
The Captain instinctively drew together
the divorced portions of his trousers, and
forced them to live together for the time be-
ing; then, reassured us to his prestige, he put
on his most formidable voice, and with the
pose of q gendarme examining a legal dOcu-
ment, asked: Where do you come from !?
Where are you going?"
"Why, / come from Paris. IT is no fun
there any more! you could see the boule-
wards! it's really sad; all my friends are
gone and the fheaters are all closed. The
Communist staff officers are the swells just
now, and they are so dirty! Such caps, such
boards, such faces, it's ridiculous. If ] had
had to stay among that lot / should have
died. / have q little box of house at
Lopgjumeau, a regular little nest. Not very
big, you know but very pretty, and | am
going there to wait for better days"
"There is only one obstacle to this plan
madam, which is, that / shall not allow you
to pass"
She looked at the Captain in astonish-
ment Probably no man had ever dared
to speak to her in such tone before, and
