when the Gun Goes ON.

In an anteroom of the Cramp ship
yard there is a photograph, made In
Germany. Of a large Krupp gun dis
charging. The picture is an admirable
one. and all the uniformed German Of
ficers in 1t have their hands over their
ears. They do not look very warlike
or gallant in this attitude. and one OF
the Cramp officials said of them the
other day: 1.-THE Germans, English and
Russians must have weaker ears than
we, for they always stop them with
their fingers when big guns go of. but
we Americans don't find 1t necessary
to take this precaution. | remember at
the trial OF the Variag's guns how
amusing 1t was to see the Russian off
GERS caring for their ears. Before the
firing began d wad of cotton bigger
than your head was passed around.
and each MIA took q couple Of pieces
and stuffed his ears with them. In adj
dition to this the Russians also held
their ears and shut their eyes when a
6 inch gun was fired. The Germans
and the English, l understand. can't
stand the reports Of big guns without a
similar set Of precautions. The Yam
kee, though, neither stuffs his ears
with cotton nor stops them with his
fingers. Hence, when his guns 60 of,
he looks considerably romantic
and martial than those other chaps

PRANK OF STUDENTS.
Iron Elephant of 1000 Pounds Put
ON Missouri University Tower.

Iron Elephant Of 1000 Pounds Put
on Missouri University Tower.
The discipline committee Of the Mis-
souri, university faculty is securing evil
dence against students Of the engineer
ing department, charged with putting
an iron elephant on the pinnacle above
the dome of the academic building.
says a special dispatch from Columbia,
Mo-, to the Chicago Record-Herald.
The feat accomplished by the stu
dents was extraordinary. Access to the
interior of the pinnacle had been
barred by three massive iron doors fas.
tened with padlocks, the keys, to which
the proctor carried in his pocket.
Under cover of darkness the students
carried a galvanized iron elephant,
weighing perhaps over a thousand
pounds, to the dome above the build
ing and, after forcing the iron doors,
dragged their burden upward to the
highest point of the pinnacle. 200 feet
above ground. The next morning the
elephant could be seen for a distance
Of five miles, and farmers came to
town Il inquire about it. Il
In removing the elephant a gang of
workmen destroyed 9 section of the
slate roof, and ten students must pay
the damages or be expelled.

PRESIDENT CORNWALL MISSING.
His Bank Is Short Almost Three Hun.
dred Thousand Dollars.

dred Thousand Dollars.
Birmingham, Ale, June 11.-With
President T. j. Cornwall In parts un-
known and short nearly $3.50, 900, the
Bessemer savings bank, n OF the
strongest institutions in the district,
will close its doors and ask for a re-
ceiver.
President Cornwall left three notes
explaining the shortage.
In one, addressed to the public, he
says that he lost the money trying to
make back $4,000 he had lost in a
legitimate business transaction. He
further ~exonerates all the officers Of
the bank and takes the whole blame
on himself.
In a letter to his wife, he stated
that he would not commit suicide, but
would let her know if he died. In a
third letter, addressed to Cashier
Cockri1l. he states that he had moth
ing left to do but wander on the face
OF the earth or become a convict in
the state mines"
The shortage will not affect the
Birmingham banks, as they all have
their paper out.
It is understood that a great part Of
the money was in deposits OF the
merchants and miners, together with
employees Of the rolling mills, furnaces
and industrial plants Of Bessemer.
The city OF Bessemer will lose ST.
900. .
The bank will probably not be able
to meet a payment OF more than a
small percentage on it's deposits. The
bank was organized in 1901 with a
capital of 100000, and had deposits
OF about $3.50, 900.

tugged away at the other end like a
fox terrier at a piece Of meat. There
were fifteen passengers on board. He

Ne Snfeguarded.
How the commercial interests OF the
United States in Manchuria may be
safeguarded against future interna.
tional complications and our trade III
that country maintained and increased
is told in a report received at the state
department in Washington from Unit.
ed States Consul Miller at Newchwang
He says that Russia in the end will
practically dominate the commercial
and Industrial affairs Of Manchuria I'M
less other countries have in every way
equal facilities. American trade in
M%anchuria today consists principally OF
largely in excess Of that Of any other
country. 1t is estimated that our ex
ports to Manchuria will equal S.OOO.O coo
taels, or 35 per cent Of all foreign i'm
ports. In order that this commercial
supremacy may be maintained Consul
Miller has made the following recon-
mendation to the department:
Observation-Disclosures by American
manufacturers Of an expert agent in
Manchuria who shall sell direct to ma
tive firms instead Of to Shanghai and
Hongkong.
Second.-That the Washington gov
eminent urge the opening of all Of
Manclluria to the trade of the world
'as free to us as to Russia or any
other country"
Third.-That a new consul general be
added to the American consular serv-
ice, its head to be known as the Unit
ed States consul general for Manchu-
ria.
Foreign imports into Manchuria have
increased during the past ten years at
a rate ranging from 100 to 500 per cent,
reaching the high water mark in the
year just past. Free expectation Of all
products for the future, Mr.. Miller
says, would increase trade develop
ment for years to come as greatly as in
the past decade, and if, in addition,
Manchuria could be made free to COM
merce and industry Of all people and
their mines opened there would be, he
predicts, a, growth of prosperity aston
ishing to China and the world.

Thomas White for the murder of At
torney ]. B. Marcum was distinguish
ed by the evidence of B. L. Even, the
first and leading witness Of the COM
monwealth. Jet and White are try
ing Jointly, the indictment charging
them with elaboration in a conspiracy
to murder. It. is charged that White
entered the courthouse while Marcum
and Even were standing together and
as he passed them gave the signal to
fire. Even testified to seeing White
just before and after Marcum was
shot, and to seeing Jet just after his
victim was carried out of the court

withstood a rigid cross examination.
In the morning when the witnesses
were ordered out of the courtroom. At

County Judge Hargis be allowed to

the commonwealth being sustained,
Judge Hargis retired with the other
witnesses. When court reconvened in
the afternoon the daughter Of County
Judge Hargis, the leader of the domi-
nant feudists, occupied a seat beside
the prisoners. At the afternoon sit
ting of the court, attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS moved to dispense with the
presence of troops in the courtroom
and were overruled.
Makes Startling Statement.
At night Mrs. Mary Johnson, sister
statement which is even more start
ling than Ewen's admission. In his
statement in the morning, Common
wealth's Attorney Byrd said that it
would be proved that Jett admitted to
Mrs. Johnson that he killed Marcum.
In the evidence in the afternoon it was
stated that Jett and White were seen
talking to Mrs. johnson at the bridge.
Mrs. Johnson confirms what Byrd said
would be her testimony. adding that
she feared to tell this earlier, believ.
ing she would be assassinated.
Gas | was returning home shortly
after the killing" she said, II was
overtaken by Jett. He spoke to me,
and 1 said: tJett, did you kill my
brother?' He replied i did, but Har
gis' money made me do it. He said
he was going to leave the country.
Then Tom White came up and
asked him II he had anything to do
with the murder and he said he was
there. but did not fire the shot"
Byrd says other witnesses will tes
tify that Jett admitted that he killed
Marcum.
