MILLIONAIRE
CUP
DEFENDERS

Next summer we are to have another
series of yacht races for the Americas
cup. AS in former years the contest
will probably arouse much popular in
terest. All over the country, not only
on our wide seaboards. but in prairie
cities and mountain towns, every detail
of the preparations from the length of
the cardboard strakes to the name OF
the defender, will be known and dis
cusSed, and when the races are finally
sailed the results will be received in
every telegraph Office in the land al
most before the victor and vanquishCd
have furled their great white sails.
So, you see while our interest in the
cup races is somewhat academic, we
get lots of fun out of the thing.
Yachting always has been rich
mans sport. Quite likely it always will
be. International yacht racing is a
game for multimillionaires. If you
don't believe it, just glance at the
names comprising the syndicate formed
to resist Sir Thomas Lipton's third at
tempt on the cup. They are all names
of men of great wealth. The syndicate
consists of Elbert H. Gary, Clement a.
Griscom, James ]. Hill, William 3.
Leeds, William Rockefeller, Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Henry Walters and =. 4.
B. Widener.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is a prominent men,
Der of the Corinthian Yacht club. He
owns and successfully has sailed the
seventy rater Rainbow for two seasons
and recently has become the owner of
the steam yacht Cherokee. formerly
owned by William Clark and renamed
by Mr. Vanderbilt the North Star. He
also owns the small steam yacht Mi
rage
William B. Leeds owns the steam
yacht Noma that was built for him
last year and launched early this sea-
son. He is president of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railroad and Il

deed. one of the most cherished objetfs
of the Somali and in fact, of all the
warlike Mohammedan tribes of that
portion of Africa, has been TO prevent
AbysSinia from securing or retaining
possession of Il seaport on the north
east coast of the Dark Continent.
This is due TO an ancient Mohamme-
dan prophecy, according TO which Nee

AbysSuians an event which will be
attended 10y the most disastrous conse-
quencos for the whole of the Moslem
world.
II is owing to this belief that the
British must crush the Mad Molah.
since TO leave him unconquercd would
place them in bad light not only with
the Egyptian army, but also in the eyes
Of the S0000000 Mohammedans in In
dia.
To abandon Somaliland to his sway
would work incalculable damage TO
her power and prestige in all other Mo
hammedan countries under her rule.
Not only must he be defeated. but
crushed absolutely For 10 the case of
Islam more than in that of any other
creed the authenticity Of the mahdis
and prophets is gauged by the degree
of their success against the infidels,
and the leaders Of any armed religious
movement are not relegated TO the
ranks Of false prophets until defeat,
capture or death has convinced their
corelgionists that they were frauds.
This is the task assigned to General
Manning. To assist him he will have
the troops already in Somaliland and
an extra brigade from India. That he
will eventually succeed is certain, but
at what cost remains to be seen.

Will PROMOTE ARBITRATIOR.
Judge Perfield so Says of Plus Case.
Also Spreads American
Spirit.

Paris, Oct. 13.-Judge William l.
Penfeld, of the United States state
department; archbishop Riordan, Of
San Francisco. and others who were
present at The Hague during the re-
cent sessions o. the international
court CT arbitration, which heard the
arguments in the Plus Fund case be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
have arrived here.
Judge Penfe!d says the courts de-
cision in the matter may be rendered
during the coming week, and that in
all events it will be given within the
present month. He further said in
part:
Although the decision Of the court
Is still doubtful. I feel confident OF
a favorable result. The court practi-
cally narrowed the issue to a CUES.
ton Of res judicata. and inquiries
made by members CT the court indi.
Gated a tendency favorable to our
position on this issue. II this aS-
sumption proves correct, it Is then
only a question of figures to ascertain
the amount due. and which Is some
thing over a million dollars.
Tie court commented upon the
thoroughness Of the American pre-.
sentation of the case. The United
States furnished practically the en-
tire evidence, transcripts. etc. Mex
leo furnished practically nothing. not
even copies Of the Mexican archives
in her exclusive control. and which
were required under the protocol.
rs a result CT these facts the Ameri-
can record was all the court had, and
Mexico relied upon a generallzed ar
gument."
Commenting upon the broad inter-
national aspects o. The Hague or
ganization, Judge Penfeld said IN
part:
The American idea Of treating in!
ternational arbitration seriously IS
beginning to exert its influence; 1t
promises to overcome European
prejudice and to lead to a general &C,
ceptance Of this principle. An i'm"
portant influence of The Hague tri!
bunal is that it is acquainting Eu-
rope with real AmericanIsm. In Eu'
rope they are slow to understand our
idea Of the equality OF man; the In
dividual counts for little here. The
international arbitration court gives
us our first opportunity OF presenting
to the publicists and jurists Of the
Old World our exalted ideals con-
corning the rights Of the people and
that the function Of governments Is
the protection of the individual"

Saturday night, abandoned the search
and returned mere yesterday morn,

robbers might visit are on the look
out, but at Burlington headquarters

A police officer working Cn the
case said last evening that, according
to figures given hin by a oIcial OF

belonging to the company was Sc
cured b. the robbers. The figures
given him were in the form OF a de-
tailed statement covering the demon

Operators Preparing to Start Mines.
With determination to prove their
claim, the operators have been for
the past week making q supreme eff
fort to secure men. That they have
succeeded to some extent is evil
dcnced by announcements made last
night with some positiveness that
various collieries will resume opera
tons in the course of a few days.
The Delaware and Hudson company
was to make start this morning at
the Bellevue. The Green idge Coal
company will open up it's Green
Ridge colliery probably today or to-
morrow, but assuredly some day this
week. Other companies say they are
figuring on a resumption at certain
collieries, but decline to give their
location. Claim is also made on the
operators side that the forces at COL
lieries already working are to be
largely increased during the week.
The United Mine Workers leaders
continued to assert last night that
the military can do nothing towards
inducing men to return to work, and
that all the men who could be in
duced to go back to work without
concessions are already back.
During Saturday and Sunday the
soldiers had nothing to do further
than their regular patrol duty, not d
single call having come to any Of the
three regiments IN this county to deal
with disorder or threatened disorder.

mystery surrounds the shooting. Ac-

revolver but before he could use 1t
three men rushed into the room and
fired at him. The flst shot awoke
Mrs. Hill and she rushed to the window
and shouted for help. The police re-

meantime the supposed burglars had
made their escape.
