The, proposed railroad from Haifa

the Thames Iron company Of London
and abandoned eight years ago. is at

road has been purchased by the Turk

but Ait is believed that Germany is
really back of the enterprise. The
railroad is intended to reach Nazareth,
the Lake of Galilee and connect with
the road which the sultan has been
ward Mecca. The vail, or governor of
the province. has just unveiled a mon
ument in commemoration of the re-
sumption of work. Five German en-
gineers are in charge and they are
supposed to represent the Turkish
government but in due time it. will
doubtless be showed that a German
syndicate owns the property.

STRANGE EFFECT
OF Presidential Years Sends Terrapin
Soaring in Price.


Savannah, Ca, Correspondence New
York Sun.
A. M. Barbee, proprietor Of the lar
gest terrapin crawl In Georgia, Is pre-
pairing for big trade next winter.
IT should get $35 d, dozen for every
terrapin send to New York next sea-
son." he said to Sun reporter g few
for them last year. but the price will
go up next winter"
why 90
Because it will be a presidential
year. I have always noticed that the
year a president is elected the price
terrapin, canvasback ducks and scarce
wild game of all kinds goes up. try
every four years to have as big ship
ments of terrapin ready as possible.
1.-THE reason for the advance in
price is not hard to find. There is
more entertaining done. There are
more suppers and dinners among the
public men and politicians The de-
mand increases and the. price ad-
vances.
IT first had my attention called to
this fact twelve or fifteen years ago.
I know my theory is correct. I have
sprof1ted by the knowledge.
There is nothing like good dinner
over which to discuss a. tariff plank or.
a political platform, be it state or ma
tional. For a dinner in the winter
time, one that the best politicians en-
joy, nothing equals a terrapin stew for
a starter. They must have terrapin,
and with the whole country in polit-
ical broil, every restaurant in the
cities Of any size becomes bull on
terrapin and stands ready to push up
the price. That is why am sure I
will get $35 a dozen for those in my
pen right nov"
Barbee buys terrapin from the me-
groes on the islands near Savannah.
They are turned loose in, his crawl,
which is in his back yard, and this is
drawn on when orders come from the
north to ship them by steamer. They
are sent UP in barrels and are much
more easily transported than water
melons. /. 81 4 Il, S.@ 81

AFTER GENERAL WOOD
Witnesses Give Damaging Testimony
Before the Senate Committee.

Witnesses Give damaging testimony
Before the Senate Committee.
Washington, Nov. 2s.-Major
James E. Runcie of Havana, probably
the most important witness that will
be offered by the opponents of Cen
epal Leonard Wood in their attempt
to prevent his confirmation to be
major general, testified before the
senate committee yesterday. He said
that he had acted as the confidential
adviser of General Wood for nearly
two years, and that they lived to-
gether at Santiago. 1t was while they
were living in the same house that
Mr.. Baker went to Santiago in search
Of material for. a magazine article
which he declared General Wood
asked him to write. It's purpose was
to discredit- General Brooks, who was
succeeded by General Wood in Cuba.
The witness said that when the sec
rotary of war went to Cuba following
the disclosures to the war department
the suggestion was made, either by
the secretary or General Wood that
he be court-martialed for writing the
article, and that he had, in effect, in
vited the court-martial.
A subpoena was issued for General
Brooks to testify. Other witnesses
called by the committee were Major
Ladd. U. S. A, who audited, General
Woods Santiago accounts; Wallin
Chairman, a former employe of a
New York jewelry house, who made
the silver set which was given to Gem
eral Wood, and an employee of the Jai
Alat company, who explained the
character of the game and the man
ner in which speculation is INDUCED
In by the spectators.

CAPT. CARTER
IS A FREE Man
Former Captain of Engineers Re
leased From Military Prison
at Fl. Leavenworth.
Leaves at Once for Chicago to See
His Mother and Seek
Vindication.

- 20. . 4. . B. u -,
Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 2S.-Ober-
lin NJ. Carter, ex-captain of engineers,
walked out of the federal prison at
Fort Ieavenworth this morning a free
man. At the gates he was met by his
uncle, l.. d. Carter, and Immediately
driven in hack to the union station
in this city. This was done to throw
the newspaper men off the track. AT
the union station he was met by a
representative of the Associated Press,
and while Carter still staunchly re-
fused to be interviewed as to his plans
for the future, he said:
IT will catch the Missouri Pacific
train out of here at 5:14- o'clock to
Kansas City and there after break
fast, will take the fast Santa Fee direct
to- Chicago. I wish to spend Sunday
with my mother, who is over-anxious
to see me-.
While awaiting his train the ex-
army officer conversed freely on a
large number of subjects but always
skillfully avoided the Introduction Of
anything in regard to his conviction or
his plans for the future.
In regard to himself he merely said:
Il am feeling as we'll as could be .ex-
pected under the circumstances. De-
prived as 1 was of exercise, / could
not hope to be better situated"
The captain looked much older than
when he entered the prison nearly four
years ago, but showed no trace Of i'll
health. He was attired just as he
was on his arrival at the place Of his
Incarceration.
Reaches Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 2S.-The
train bearing OSerlin M. Carter ar
rived in Kansas City at $50 this morn
ing. The ex-officer and his little
party Immediately transferred to the
regular east-bound Santa Fee train
which started for Chicago at 1885. 'f'S
But little attention was paid to the
party, which made every effort to
avoid notice. Breakfast was eaten or
the train, which is due In Chicago al
8:45 tonight. ~.

Chicago, Nov. 28.-Oberlin M. Car

visit his brother and mother.
The main reason for his coming,
however, is to assist his lawyer,
Horace G.. Stone, in preparing evil
dence in the civil case, by which he
proposes to obtain u belated vindica-
ton. The case has been pending for
several years, and the government,
thru Special Counsel Marion Erwin,
has been planning to secure about
100000 in valuable bonds which Car
ter is said to have received from
Greene and Gaynor, contractors,
whose work in Savannah harbor the
then captain of engineers had been
officially inspecting.
Attorney Stone received a letter
from his client yesterday in which he
said:
cat the coming trial in the federal
court in Chicago it will be shown be-
yond cavil that every dollar I had
was properly received by me; that I
always served my country loyalty and
intelligently; that the work intrusted
to my care was properly, successfully
and economically done; that [ always
did my duty as an officer Of the corps
Of engineers, and that, althO crimes
have been committed against me, my
