SchYab Would Not Allow AN Assess
mcnt TO be Made SchNyab,s Defense.
New York Oct 23.--Lewis Nixon oc-
cupied the witness chair again yester.
day at the hearing before an exam.
iner of the United States ShiDbuild-
ing case and gave much valuable tes.
timony covering the finances and gen.
eral affairs OF the corporation. He
testified that he had opposed the
Sheldon reorganization plan and had
as counter proposition urged that
the stock be assessed in order to raise
the amount necessary to save the
combination from default and bank
ruptcy. His plan of assessment was
opposed by Charles NJ. Schwab, hold
er at that time of $2O,O0O,00 of the
stock, who, according to Mr.. Nixon,
declared that the stockholders would
not pay the assessment.
Mr.. Schwab. so Mr.. Nixon swore. de-
clined to put up any more money un-
less the Bethlehem bonds were given
preference as a lien upon the ship
building plants to the first mortgage
bonds.
MI MAUD y IeSllHlOnY also de-
veloped the fact that there was a
wide discrepancy as to estimated
earnings in letters written by Treas
urcr Gary to members of the reor-
ganization committee and Samuel I'm
termyer, counsel for the bondholders,
asked if it did not show that there
had been an attempt to minimize the
value of the shipyards and magnify
the value of the Bethlehem plant, but
the witness would not say SO.
New York, Oct. 24.-The nature of
the defense which c. N. Schwab will
make against the charges that have
been made against him IN connection
with the financial affairs of the
wrecked United States Shipbuilding
Co. was sharply outlined yesterday
during the latter part of the hearing
before Examiner Oliphant. Lewis
Nixon was still on the stand and un-
der cross-eXamination by w. ID. Guth-
rie, counsel for Mr.. Schwab. there
was an effort to show that the corpor-
alton would not have succeeded if the
$2,OO0.000 promised under the Sheldon
plan of reorganization had been made
available, and that it could not have
continued its existence even if ii had
received the much sought for 100000
which it is alleged was wrongfuily
withheld by the Bethlehem Go.
The mystery surrounding the pur-
pose and destination of the check for
S25O,000 which has figured in the in
vestigation of the affairs of the
United States Shipbuilding Co. was
partially explained Friday by for
mer official of the Trust Company of
the Republic. He said that the check
was drawn to cover a payment on one
of the shipyard properties and that
after it had been made out it was
found necessary to cut the sum into
couple of smaller checks. 1t was one
of series Of numbered ch ks and
rather than destroy it, it ", put
through the bank by the trust )m-
pany itself. The money called fol By
the check was not withdrawn from
the bank.

and Baltimore Medical College death
won in the last five minutes of the
first half. Robert +. Levin, of Plain
field, y. H., second year classman of
the Baltimore Medical College, was
killed in the fierce struggle between
the opposing teams.
The tragedy was unexpected and
came like a thunderbolt to the 1000
or more spectators who had gathered
to witness the game. The opposing
teams had swayed back and forth
over the field. as two evenly balanced
giants as ever met on the girdiron.
Navy by hard line bucking had
pushed the ball to within ten yards
of the visitors goal when the latter
by herculean efforts hurled the mid
shipmen back. The medics made gains
of three and five yards and had Just
lined up for another effort, when
Levin, right guard for the Balti-
moreans, fell to the ground. His
limbs Immediately became rigid. He
was carried from the field and five
minutes later was pronounced dead
by the attending physician. The
cause of death is given out as cardiac

That little effort reported at Lin
coin to draw Mr. Bryan out on the sub
ject OF boiling will probably fail. He
knows a thing or two about politics.
and altogether too much to commit
himself at this time. He may bolt.
There are many who believe, and some
who openly predict, that he will. But
as yet Mr. Bryan is making his last
tight within his party, and even the
most guarded threat by him of an in
tention not to abide by the decision Of
the nG.;-.2al ccnyaa:ion If antagonis-

SHAW TO HANNA'S AID.
Secretary of the Treasury Makes Tell
ing Argument in Favor of
the Tariff.

Leslie NJ. Shaw, secretary of the treas
ury. entered the battle for the protective
tariff in Ohio at Akron, citing the Cham
berlain struggle in England as proof
that the United States could not prosper
under free trade. He used sarcasm and
argument in his efforts to aid Senator
Hanna and to show that the democratic
position was wrong.
1t was the opening of the republican
campaign for the state ticket, and Incl
dentally for the reelection of Senator
Hanna, in that county, Mr.. Shaw making
his maiden speech in the contest, in the
course of which he said
"One of the most important problems
before the American people is that of
markets. In this all parties agree. But,
while the parties agree upon the impor-
tance of the ultimate act. they 60 not
agree upon the methods to he pursued
in the accomplishment of the desired
end.
The plan proposed by the minority
party is to throw our commercial doors
wide open for the free importation OF
the products of foreign labor.
The logic of the opinion is, if we
give away what we have we will then
have an abundance. England has had
free goods for half century, but she
has never had free trade. She has run
against the tariff at the entrance of every
country she has attempted to invade,
and now her colonies, having become
vigorous, are begging to impose duties
upon her products, and Mr. Chamberlain
resigns his position in the cabinet and
at the time of life when most men are
about to retire to the quiet of their
homes, goes out to make the fight of his
life in behalf of protection There is
great difference between free trade
goods from foreign countries and free
trade in foreign countries"

in case it was declared legal he could

the most handsome suits seen worn
by fashionable women are the Louis

NOrfOlks in Scotch mixtures and
zibelene effects. In Jackets, stylish
dressers prefer box coats in all
lengths mostly in collarless and cape
effects; also the Louis 14th and the
corset fitting styles. In ladies waists
the mercerized oxfords are preferred
the flannel waists not being as stylish
as formerly. The dress goods meet

others in the prominent fashionable
districts are Scotch mixtures and
tweeds, and zibeline effects.

A CISPENSARY LAW.

II a dispensary law similar to the
South Carolina law was in force in
this state it would produce revenue
sufficient to run the state govern
ment. says Winston's Weekly of
Spokane.
South Carolina derived six hun
dred thousand dollars last year from
this source, Tot including the amount
received from the sale of beer and
ale
Under the jispensary system the
state alone can sell intoxicating liq-
uors. 1t is sold in sealed packages.
containing not less than half a pint.
which are not permitted to be open
ed on the premises where purchased.
There is not bar room in the entire
state Of South Carolina This sys-
TEN has been in force there for the
past twelve years. 1t has become so
firmly established that he would be
very bold or a foolish man that
would attempt to overthrow it.
1t is claimed, and official statistics
show the claim Well founded, that
under a dispensary law the following
results are attained: state taxes are
taken from the shoulders of the far
mers, the householder and the la
boring man and put on the consum-
ers Of whisky, brandy, gin, rum and
other Intoxicating liquors; that there
is much less drunkenness and al
most no drunkenness in public
places; that the liquors are absolute
ly free from all impure and foreign
substances and therefore less iniu-
rious to body and brain; that crime
has decreased. bar room brawls
ceased, loafng ended. and large
number of persons, whose sole bust
ness it was to sell liquor. given an
opportunity to engaged in productive
industries.
Whenever the question Of a dis
pensaTy law is presented to the vo-
tiers of this state it will 90 hard
with the party that opposes it. IN
less the temperance element com
bines with the liquor element as if
generally does, in politics.
