Some time IN June, Mr.. Lamb said,
Captain Stern told him the Contents
had withdrawn from the Northern p"
cifc litigation. Captain Stern was
used as Intermediary, he said, to hide
the identity of those behind the liti
cation. Continuing, the witness said
the expenses of a trip to Chicago taken
by himself and Power in connection
with the suit were paid by Weidenfeld.
Insisted Power Be Sent Away.
"Tell about the $3.50 you received
from MI Weidenfeld," Mr.. Guthrie
continued.
"Captain Stern had insisted that Pc
ter Power be sent away. That was
when the first attempt was made to
serve Power. He was afraid Power
would break down and give away Sc
crets. Mr.. Chandler suggested that
Power be sent to Europe. On July 2.
Captain Stern came to my apartments
and insisted that Power be shipped to
Montreal at once. l hesitated. l did
not know how 1 would stand with
Power out of my control and again
told Captain Stern did not believe we
had money enough to send him to
Canada and Captain Stern telephoned
to his housekeepers, but they had
none. After Power was served Mr..
Chandler came to my Office and told
me the service was bad and that we
could successfully defend him from
the charge of contempt. l was the
more easily convinced that he was
right because | knew he had consulted
with Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Cochran.
Mr.. Chandler told me Mr.. Cochran
said Power need not appear in court
in person. Then he said that Mr..
Cochran, keen judge Of human ma
ture and public opinion, had said: If
they push that boy too hard they will
create a revulsion of public opinion
Mr.. Lamb said Power agreed to go
to West Hurley. He wanted to get
married anyway and Lamb told Mr..
Chandler money would be needed.
Mr. Chandler said he had a check for

him Weidenfeld would give another
check in the morning. Of the $3.50
about $3.50 had gone to Power.
who was to pay Powers expenses
and support him if he went to Eu-
rope?"
"Mr. Chandler said of course they
would pay the expenses. I under
stood they meant Mr.. Weidenfeld,
Bourke Cochran and Mr.. Thomas"
Asked about his financial dealings
with Weidenfeld Mr.. Lamb said Weld
enfield advanced him $4,000 on account
of fees held up in the Consolidated
Gas matter and held his demand note
for that amount. aa%Ge-'s~ s. ~,

Eleven Persons Known to Be Dead,
Six Others Are in the Ruins of the
Wrecked Buildings and TWO of the
Injured Cannot Recover-Acid
Tanks Burst and Victims Are Ter
ribIy Burned.
Wilmington, Del, Aug. 22.-Eleven
persons dead, two of those in the hos
pital so seriously injured that little
hope is entertained for their recovery,
six still missing and whose bodies are
supposed to be in the ruins, is the
result of the terrible explosion at the
Delaware pulp works Of the Jessup &
Moore Paper company in this city late
Wednesday afternoon.
James Jester and George Durham,
both employed in the digester room.

during the day.
Following is. list of the dead and

Ruth, E. H. Mousley, Bernard SWee-
ney, William Scott, Joseph Henry.
On the upper floor Of the plant were
huge tanks of acid, and when the eX-
plosions came these tanks were
broken, allowing the acid to flow all
over the building.
The men who were instantly killed
were covered with the burning fluid,
and those who were simply injured
writhed in agony as the acid enVel'
oped their bodies.
Few of the Men Escape.
There were ten digesters in the
plant, which was located in a tWo-story
building. Twenty or more men were
at work when the first explosion came
and some of them managed to escape
before the second explosion liberated
the acid and set fire to the building.
There were two terrific reports, one
coming a few seconds after the other,
and the next instant the building and
other mills about the structure were
wrecked.

WHEAT SHORTAGE SERIOUS.
Number of Minneapolis Mills Forced to
Shut Down.

Shut Down.
Minneapolis, Aug. 22.-The contin-
ued light movement of wheat to Min
neapolis, coupled with the small stocks
in store here is the source OF much
concern to local flour manufacturers,
at least to a number who are unfortun-
ate enough to be without terminal
stocks TO draw on-and these are said
to include all of the large mills, ex-
cept the PiIlsbury- -Washburn company,
which owns practically all of the good
milling wheat in store here.
The shortage of milling wheat be-
came so serious last week that several
mills were forced to suspend opera
tions.
It was expected the movement of
new wheat to the local market this
week would be sufficiently large to ma
terially relieve the situation, but rains
have interfered with threshing and re-
ceipts have shown little, if any, in
crease over last week.
