SCHLEY AND WHEELER,
Pointed YCONTRASTED

The investigation drags it's weary
length along before Admiral Dewey S
court Of investigation In washington city,
Nearly all the witnesses heretofore ex-
amined have been positively inimical to
Admiral Schley. This very fact demon
strates the effort of the administration
naval party to cast unjust blame and
odium on the great sea-captain who sunk
the Spanish feet at Santiago.
1t must be an amazing sight for great
sea-captains in other countries TO behold,
to see a man on trial for cowardice who
won for himself and HIS country deathless
fame In one of the greatest naval bait
ties Of the world ever recorded.
1t. demonstrates the often repeated ak
iom that human nature is the same the
world over.'' -
whatever may be the findings of the
court II is proven by demonstration that
logs Of battlesnips are very unreliable as
correct data.
IL oficIal records are not to be depended
upon, then the logs OF these vessels had
better be cast out as unworthy OF re-
spect. .-F
One witness swore that the Brooklyn,
Admiral Schley's battleship. crossed
ahead Of the Texas, only one hundred OF
hundred yards distant, while the two
nearest vessels in their official reports
show that there was always two thousand
yards between themselves and the Brook
Ign.
If Admiral schley is to be dismissed as
a coward then the unreliability of official
records should be absolutely condemned
forever and kicked out of any decent
court. h.t
Admiral Sampson is said to be a sick
man, and IT is therefore charitable to
conclude that he was not himself or men

abducting and robbing Mabel Goodrich.

lishment. Howard K. Sloan, Henry, =.
wallace, D. knight Finlay and Oscar s.
Dunlap were brought before a mag
istrate, who continued the case until next
Monday. .sf
Sloan is a newspaper man and Wallace
is a city reporter for The Press. Fdnlay is
in the business department OF The North
American as a stenographer, and Dunlap
Is a barber. The quartet were arrested
Saturday on warrants sworn out py Mrs.
Goodrich. -
The woman was the first witness against
the prisoners and Identified each of them.
She then retold the remarkable story OF
her abduction. confinement and robbery.
She concluded her testimony by stating
that she was robbed Of her jewelry. yal-.
ued at 81 900, and cash amounting TO SO,
and was forced to sign checks for $500.
After check for $155 had been-cashed
she was released, she said.
Detective Donaghy related the story Of
the arrest Of the prisoners, and stated
that all had confessed
Dunlap he said, told him that his pur-
pose was to assist Sloan in placing Mrs
Goodrich in the hands of the law and or
der society. He had not been told of the
intention 10 rob the woman. ~ ~
Wallace was the only prisoner stost testify.
He said Sloan had suggested to him the
plan by which Mrs. Goodrich was TO be
abducted in the interest of the law and
order society, which organization would
reward them for their services. sssr
Later Wallace said Sloan made the pro-
position TO rob the woman Wallace re-
fused to become a party to the robbery
he declared, and said further that he did
not see Sloan from that time until the
day of his arrest.
In answer TO questions, wallace said
the suggestion to capture Mrs. Goodrich
for the law and order society was also
made by another newspaper man. The
latter has not been arrested. Counsel for
Mrs. Goodrich asked that the prisoners be
held on charges Of conspiracy, highway
robbery, assault and battery and kidnap-
ing This was done. excepting in the case
of Wallace, who was held for conspiracy
and kidnapping. the penalty for which.
counsel announced. is life imprisonment

THE MODERN FABLE Of THE

A Bill Clerk in a Grocery Hbuse once
took part in a Production BY Home

ct had a Friend in the Cast. The BIZ
Clerk was a Glisten, but mort Of the
People were wedged in and had to
Stick His Acting was very bhzmaraz.
When they gave him Call. de did not
know that they were kidding him.
After the Show they came arbund and
pounded him on the Back and told him
he was Great. The Paper gaFe him a
Notice better than Coquelin over got.
He had himself photographed in Co.'S
tune and began to grow a Margue-
rite Curl in the middle OF his Forehead
and keep one Hand inside of his Coat.
The Mantle OF Edwin Booth hhd fallen
on him, but 1t did not reach TO the
Small of HIS Back. All he wanted was
a Chance, and he would make Otis
Skinner look like a Side Order pr Some
thing. He read the Dramatic Papers
and unless he was choked of be arose
at Evening Parties and ReciteH. Then
all the Girls told him he had Won
derfuI Talent, and after he weht away
they said he was the jakiest piece OF
Punk they ever saw.
The Bill Clerk began to write Letters
OF Congratulation to himself and use
Powder on his Face. He forsook the
low-down Grocery Trade and decided
to go on the Stage. He changed his
name from Wesley Fink to 0rmonde
Dupont and had 'Theater' painted on
his Trunk After that all he needed,
in order to be an Actor, was an En-
gagement. He packed up and headed
