.SCHWAB'S DEFENSE
SHARPLY OUTLINED IN THE
S-EXAMINATION OF
LOUIS NIXON.

New York, Oct. 24.-The nature of
the defense which Charles M. Schwab
will make to the charges that have
been made against him in connection
with the financial affairs of the
wrecked United States Shipbuilding
company was sharply outlined during
the latter part of the hearing yester-
day. Lewis Nixon was still on the
stand, and, under crcss-examination by
the counsel for Schwab, was an effort
to show that the corporation would
have succeeded if the $4,000 900 prom
ised under the Sheldon plan of re-
organization had been made available.
and that it could not have continued
its existence even if it had received
the much-sought-for 100000 which, it
is alleged, was wrongfully withheld
by the Bethlehem company.
Attorney Guthrie showed by Nixon
that the 100000 would have been alb
sorbed without relieving the company
of all the financial embarrassment
which it suffered, and then asked if it
would have been honest to the other
creditors if the interest charges on ac-
count of bonds had been paid on July
L, the date of the crisis in the affairs
of the concern.
The examination of Nixon was not
concluded.

and by society l mean not merely
those who, by their character, their
genius and their good fortune, have
earned the right to dwell in great
houses, without the suspicion of the
ostentatious display of wealth to have
picture galleries and libraries and
horses and carriages, and, if they
please, yachts and automobiles-but
behind them that great army of the
wellbred and well-to1do that noble
American commonalty, clean of birth
and clear of grith-those cultivated
men and women who live without
scandal and travel without adventure
not rich indeed, but quite able to
pay as they go-the rose and ex-
pectancy of true manhood and wo-
manhood, the very buttress and bell
tower of our free republic
These constitute what l call society.
Radiating from the home-thrice
blessed in dad and nam and granny,
yea, in Bill and Joe. Sis and Colts
influence penetrates the dark and the
light. reaching from the fireside to the
counting room, from the counting
room. to the asylum and the hospital,
and, somehow, finding its way back
again to the rooftree and the hearth
stone via the schoolhouse and the
house of God; never a thought of the
divorce court-not so much as the
shadow of noble lord to disturb its
serenity or to brighten its dreams. May
that society be forever true in its
politics, to the lesson of the greatest
good to the greatest number, in its
religion, to Christ and his crucified."

CAN SHOOT DEER
ALL YEAR ROUND

st. Paul. Mimi, Oct. 24.-The Min
nesota supreme court yesterday hand
ed down a decision which knocks out
that part of the game law relating to
protection of deer Under the deci
sion deer are no longer protected in
this state.
lnasmuch as the law concerning pro.
lection to deer is almost identical with
the Wisconsin law, the decision is
likely to have some effect in that as
well as neighboring states.
The close season is from November
20 to November 80, the same as in
Wisconsin. Minnesota hunters. how
ever, are allowed to kill three deer.
while in Wisconsin but two can be
taken.
s. F. Fullerton, state game warden,
says: "The decision of the state SUI.
preme court in the Linden case is a
practical invitation for poachers to
Kill all the deer in Minnesota. 1t pre-
vents the game commissioner from
protecting the game, and | shall not
be surprised If it results in extermi-
mating all the deer in the state"

FIERCE BATTLE
IN MIMIC WAR

Fort Riley, Kas, Oct 24.-There
was a pitched battle yesterday seven
miles northeast of the maneuver
camp, and it came about as close to
the real thing as is possible with
blank cartridges. The browns, under
General Barry, represented the force
advancing from the north. The blues
under General Bell were force which
were attacked at once by the browns
and the resultant mixup constituted a
contact of opposing forces of all
arms" AS soon as the browns moved
out of their position, Col. Duncan,
leading the fifth infantry advance of
Bells force, charged their left flank,
rolling it up and driving it back
toward the center. 1t was hot enough
for anybody and the Iowa boys were
given all they could do A part of the
Twenty-fifth came out to aid but Bar
ry pushed his attack with wonderful
determination. He had the prepon-
derance of force and he made a vi
cious battle. Iowa was soon over
matched although she still hung on
and the Nebraska and Missouri regi-
meRts were sent up to aid. Barry was
not to be denied, however, and his
men came on steadily, pouring in a
fearful fire that would have been
woefully destructive of life in an ac-
tual fight. The fight was at it's hot
test and the men in their eagerness
were pressing closer when Col. Wag-
ner, senior umpire, sounded the recall
and the battle closed.

- Pittsburg, Oct 24-In lecture here
last evening Henry Watterson, the
great Kentucky editor again sketched
in merciless fashion the swagger set.
Something over year ago." he said,
"a most lamentable tragedy, having
fol- its scene the very vestibule of the
temple of fashion, the sanctum sane
forum of the four hundred, led me in
the line of my duty as writer for the
press to say some exceeding plain and,
it may have been though, some very
harsh things, about the noveaux
riches. the idle rich, the God-forget-
ting. world-defying, pleasure-seeking
rich who set themselves as law unto
themselves, who submit to no re-
straints except those fixed by nature
and the surgeons knife, who have no
intellectual perspective except that
the longest purse brings down the big
gese titles, nor rule of conduct except
that impelling them to eat, drink and
be merry, for tomorrow it may be
someone else's turn, code which
am told became altogether the rage in
Babylon some centuries ago.
"They society? Has Caliban grace?
Is Tom Thumb manhood? Must the
monkey and the swell be accepted as
interchangeable types, as alternating
measurements, of human breeding and
beauty? Indeed, one would think so
reading some of the reports that come
to us from the inner circles of that
apotheosis of boredom, that incarna-
ton of stupidity and affectation, which
takes its cue from Leicester square
and the Corinthian club in London
which emulates the demimondaine of
Paris-which eddies round the abodes
of luxury and alimony at Newport, and
thinks no more of running down an
ordinary pedestrian in an automobile
than you and | would think of brush
ing away a spider or fly.
"Sursum cordia-lift up your hearts.

thoughts or nursed any serious fears
about such cattle, nor shall l do so
until monkey dinners become as pop
ular in Pennsylvania as they seem to
be in Rhode Island. / know that in
each of our centers of population and
wealth there is a little coterie of silly
women and simpering Johnnies which
would initiate the imitators, but they
are too shallow and too scattered to
make much Roadway against society,
