THE COUPON TRAIL
Mr.. J.L. Godfrey is Still
Short Forty Dollars on
Stolen Bonds.

The mix up of c.. c.. Jones, of Goldsb0ro,
in the sale of postage stamps has set peo-
PIE to talking again vigorously about 'ie
Godfrey bond steal.
1t was learned yesterday shat it iG I'M
derstood> in Goldsboro that when Jones
left that place a day or so ahead of the
bench warrant for his arrest he went TO
Richmond, where it is reported he mas
relatives.
Ii is thought by some that cherc might
be q clue to the Jonesboro ROBBERS VINO
got the Godfrey bonds by looking INTO
the matter OF the coupons "Ate-' WI
Godfrey lost in the deal, Tor although ne
has gotten back the $l,OO0 ne pala lor
the return of his bonds, yet besides his
expenses he is also out $40, this nelng the
value of the coupons taken off before The
bends were returned.
Somebody got the money, Tor after
learning during the Legislative session that
the bonds had been stolen State Treasur-
err Lacy made an examination OF the re-
deemed coupons in the State Treasury
and in these he found the two coupons
from the bonds of Mr.. Godfrey.
1t was impossible TO tell where they
had como from as in the hundreds OF
thousands of these there is no record Kept
of the numbers on the coupons as they
are made payable to bearer and any
bank will cash them, just as they wou!d
give change for a treasury note.
State Treasurer Lacy says that at enc
time a clue was sought in another case By
means of coupons. Notification had been
given of a robbery and lookout was
kept for the coupons. They came from
a certain bank in Raleigh, this bank ha',
received them from an Atlanta bank, and
the Atlanta bank from a bank IN Mlchl-
gan. Here the clue ended for the Michl-
gan bank officials could not remember
from whom they had received the coupons
In the case of the Godfrey bond cou-
IONS there is not even this clue 10 start
on as it is not known from what 6anh
the coupons came to the State TTeasuT 2r.
The next set of coupons were eviaently
deposited by Mr.. Godfrey in the bank at
Sanford for that bank sent them to thc
Citizens National Bank OF Raleigh aad
from that bank they went to the State
Treasury.
1t will be remembered that it was on
the reception of these coupons ut the
State Treasury that the bond steal cast
began to be agitated The State Treas
urer asked where the coupons came from
and learning that they had started II m
Mr. Godfrey the return and manner q
the return of the bonds to him soon pc
came a matter of investigation, leading
to the present phase of the borG steal.

ious situation of the Russian fleet out
side Port Arthur. The squadron steamed
slowly in battle formation Sunday mid
day towards its goal and came within
sight of Port Arthur under cover OF dark
ness. 1t cruised slowly outside without
showing lights. The Russians were lined
in the roadsted apparently feeling secure
from attack. Nearly all the Japanese
torpedo boats were dispatched on their
dangerous and daring task. They rushed
full steam on the enemy, who were com
pletely surprised. A great battle of small
arms greeted the invaders, who, however,
escaped unhurt, and the Retvizan, the
Czarevitch and the Pallada were almost
Immediately torpedoed. The Japanese
dashed along the entire line of the Rus
slams exposed by now to terrible fire
from machine guns and small arms from
both the ships and the shore. There was

The military grip on the ruins was this
afternoon frightened to the limit. and for
the present it will be impossible for any
one TO pass the line of soldiers around
the burned territory, unless on pass
personally issued by Brigadier- General
Riggs for official business.
In the safes and vaults buried under
the ruins are hundreds of millions OF dol
lars worth of securities, negotiable pa
per and cash which the authorities feel
they cannot leave exposed.
The ruins of the fire territory having
cooled sufficiently to permit the handling
of debris, the work of clearing some por-
tons of the burned district began today.
Hundreds of laborers engaged by the De-
partment of Street Cleaning were put to
work at the western end of the ruins
clearing the streets. Debris is four feet
deep. large marble and granite blocks,
great Orders, bent or broken, and net
work of telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires cover the streets. On both
sides of the thoroughfares in many
places are towering walls that will have
to come down before any attempt can be
made to clear the streets at these points.
There are still scores OF small fires
burning and many great heaps of smoul-
dering ruins that are sending up clouds
of smoke. No effort has been made to
eXtinguish these as they can do no fur
