CONSTITUTION DEFEATED.
The Columbia Bests the New Defender

Newport, r. l., July 2.-The Consti-
tuition was defeated by the Columbia

the first real race in which the Her

In Newport the Constitution lost
through misfortune. However, the
result of the contest is far from con.
elusive and there is still much to be
decided as to the relative merits Of
the two racers.
The mishap to the new boat came
about an hour after the start. While
the boats were on the second long
tack to windward the clew of the jib
Of the new boat was carried away
and for some 10 minutes she was with
out the use Of that sail. This acct
dent set the Constitution back prac-
tically mile, but in spite of it she
was able to get within two minutes of
the Columbia at the turn and cut this
lead down more than half on the run
home. Some Of this gain, however,
was undoubtedly due to the fact that
she came up in the better wind. Co.
lumbia did not escape without acct
dent, too, for Immediately after cross.
ing the finish line, in gybing over the
big mainsail, her main boom buckled
and she had to be towed to the city.

spar before the Columbia can race

The event was the first of a series
Of special races arranged by the New
York Yacht club for the purpose of
briging the two yachts together.

Time and Telephone Work Wonders.

81 was startled the other day and in
an entirely new way said a promi-
nent electrical engineer. "The use of
the telephone mas become so much. q
part of my life that in talking with
my friends and acquaintance every
few days apparently kept up the &C
quaintance as of old, when I used to
see them more regularly. A few days
ago I had occasion to visit an old time
friend of mine with whom had talked
probably once week or oftener for
the past three or four years, but whom
I had not seen during that period.
"When I met him, was startled.
His black beard had turned gray, al
most white, and he had changed in
other respects as was natural, dur
ing the three or four years of that per-
iod, yet through the use of the tele-
honpe had in my minds eye seen
him AS of old every time I had talked
with him, and you may..imagine how
surprised, even shocked, Twas to see
this change in him.
s-'Did you ever have a similar exper-
ience?. 1 Imagine the increasing use
of..the telephone causes many of them.

as he looked when you saw him last,

Chocolate.

In South America the retail price for
the better grades of chocolate averages
about 81 pound, while in Italy,
France, England and in the United
States the better grades sell at much
lower price. In America the ordinary
chocolate of trade sells for about one
third Of the price that is charged for it
where it is produced. The cause of
this, the producers say, is that the
original product is adulterated greatly
before reaching it's final market, a
cheaper article than the cocoa bean
constituting the large proportion of 80
per cent of the chocolates of commerce.
The cocoa bean from which chocolate
is manufactured is produced in it's fin
est form in Venezuela, though various
other parts of Central and South Amer
lea grow and export large quantities.
Two crops of the bean are gathered
each year, and the manufacture con-
sists simply in grinding up the beans
into a meal and then adding sugar and
arrowroot, with the necessary flavor.
usually vanilla or cinnamon. The mass
is moistened until it is in semif1uid
state, after which it is run into molds
of the proper shape.

building without detection.
He was he same man who had seen
the shooting of Baker, and was to be
the states star witness in the event of
Green's capture. Green and his
friends knew of this, for there is little
doubt that Green had been kept in
hiding somewhere near the hotel if not
in the building. BY inducing the wit
ness to sleep in the garnet with the
other two men they could remove the
plumber undetected. BY turning
building they could remove trouble
some witness and in the excitement
Green could easily escape. These are
the motives for the series of crimes
that resulted in ten men being badly
hurt and the death of one other.
This witness was one of those in
jured by jumping from the third story
window. ''When / woke up and saw

was reticent, and evidently knows
more than he cares to tell.
Watches were posted about the hotel
by Sheriff Davis from the night of the
murder until 1t burned. When the
fire broke out they left their posts to
run to the fire, and the fugitive had
his opportunity to make an escape.
One of those who first saw the blaze
asserts that flames issued from the
windows of room 10 before any other.
The stairway was also ablaze, a cir
cumstance that points to incendiary
origin.
1t is known that in the garnet there
was large space under the flooring
that would easily conceal a man-also
another hiding place under the stair
way.
1t is known that the night of the
murder man was approached with a
proposition to "help get Green out Of
town.
1t is known that a friend of his pur-
chased quantity Of supplies the fol-
lowing day, although he was boarding
and had no need for provisions.
During a night hunt for Green in the
neighborhood Of the round house a man
came from around the corner, ran in
to the brush and disappeared.
Green's friends were advised that
the witness spoken of would ''peach'
in case the murder came to trial and
knowing something about the thievery
of the gang, they too were liable to be-
come implicated.
The frequent conferences of Green
with five or six of his companions were
an object of suspicion to one official
even before the murder.
That other robberies were in con-
temptation is evidenced by the fact
that the back door of Fletcher's store
was tampered with few nights ago
but the burglars fed before gaining
an entrance.
