New York. Oct. 22.-Lewis Nixon.
who from naval constructor became
builder of warships and the president
of the United States Shipbuilding
company, was the principal witness
Wednesday at the inquiry being held
by Magistrate Henry Oliphant into
the affairs OF the defunct corporation.
He did not finish his examination, but
while on the stand he went over much
history of the corporation and the acts
of the men prominent in it's history.
He confirmed the claim of the bond
holders that Max Pam, counsel for
Charles M. Schwab, had suggested a
number OF directors for the shipbuild-
ing combination, and said that the
proposed expenditure Of $2,802,0 900 for
improvements at the Bethlehem Steel
works had been approved by the dl-
rectors over his protests and warning
that the action would in the end leave
the main corporation without funds
and wreck it. Mr.. Nixon swore that
after this expenditure was approved
he made several attempts to u a
meeting of the directors and that Mr..
Schwab had finally told him that he
had instructed the directors to remain
away from a meeting.

tate Troops Oppose Regulars in Kan
a Maneuvers.
Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. 22.-Five
states against the United States and
practically an even break all around
was the result Of the military exer
cises Wednesday.
The problem for Wednesday was
that each body of state troops should
take up a defensive position and there
await an attack by a force of United
States regulars against it. The Iowa
regiment took it's place on the Ogden
fats and was there attacked by a
force of the Tenth cavalry, which drew
off after a spirited action without
penetrating the line OF men from the
Hawkeye state, who we're handled
well by their officers. Texas also he'd
its own.
The Missouri regiment took post on
the hills north of the camp where it
withstood the attack Of Colonel
Kline's Twenty-first infantry. The
advance was run back to the main,
but the umpires stopped the fight be-
fore it came to q y eation of whether
the regulars cod have broken
through the ranks.
Owing to the obstacles which the
Kansas men were called upon to con
front. the Eighth cavalry succeeded in
forcing their way through the center
Of the Kansas brigade.
One Of the most spectacular fights
Of the day was that between the Sec
and Nebraska and the Fourth cavalry
which terminated by the state troops
holding their ground.

from the owl car schedule.

LOOTED OF LARGE SUM.
Vault of Superior (MIs.) Postoffice
Opened and Robbed.


Superior, Wis, Oct. 22.-When the
Superior postofice was opened for
business at Z a. m. the large vault was
found to have been rifled of practically
the entire supply of stamps, amount
ing to between $4,000 and SIS, 500.
About 800 in fractional silver was
also secured.
The vault was forced without the
use of explosives. The safe, located
in the postmaster's private office and
containing a large amount in cur
rency, was not molested. The only
visible clue left by the burglars was
an electric pocket lamp.
The two bloodhounds belonging to
the police department are in poor
health and it was impossible to put
them on the scent. The n~eatness of
the job indicates that it is the work
of professionals. The officers are COM
pletely in the dark.
