SKATING RINK IN WORLD

~ RESENT prospects are that Lake
r Superior will before the end of
this month be the biggest skat-
ing rink in the world. Old-timers in
mat region declare that from present
prospects the mighty inland sea viii
freeze entirely over. which would be at
least very unusual thing. and as far
as known. something that has never
happened within the recollection Of man.
At any rate. an extraordinary amount
Of Ice has already formed. and the
great fce-making month on Gitchie
Gumme is February. There is more. ice
on the lake now than at any time daring
any winter in a dozen years past. and
as rule the Duluth ice men have never
depended or getting more thar a par
tial supply of their domestic ice from
these waters.
December this winter was a very cold
month, and the winter as a whole thus
far has been more severe than common

The Mutilated Letter.
In support Of this contention the de-
Tense submitted the now famous mutt
lated letter" This is the letter which
DnIer F. Groff is said to have written at
the Instance of his father and sent to
Toledo in the envelope with the con-
tracts when they were returned.
Recovered and Pasted Together.
I.orenz testified he found this old let
ter while moving. accidentally tore it
up and threw it in the furnace. which
was without FIRE. Later. thinking II
might be valuable. he dug up the pieces
from the rubbish in the furnace ana
pasted them together. as evidence &C
his contractural relations with the
Groffs.
The parties had some subsequent dis
cussion about a contract. but continued
to postpone the matter. and so far as
known. there is in existence today no
contract between the Grofrs and L.orenz.
Such Is the documentary evidence in
the case.

fasteners in this particular case was
s1.Os1-S7. and the profits were S4.I25.51.
1t viii be noticed that the deposit of
Samuel Gron was just one-quarter Of
these profits.
On January q there was a deposit In
the Home Savings Bank Company, of
Toledo. of $2,O62.74. to the credit OF Mrs.
Martha ]. Lorenz. and that deposit is in
the hand Of her husband. George E.
Lorenz. The deposit is Just one-half
the profits on the sale Of fasteners paid
for with the warrant OF January II for
$5156ss.
Method of Distributing Receipts.
As tending to show conspiracy in con-
nection with this particular transaction,
the Government introduced a letter

CORtentiORs.

IT HE Government has attempt
ed to show: That Machen
received a share Of the re-
ceipts from the Croft fastener
through COLLISION with. the Grofs
and the Lorenzes.
That Machen's share was one
fifth OF 40 per cent of the Govern
ment purchase price.
That Lorenz received one-5ifth Of
the receipts for his ability to reach
Machen and procure the use of the
Croft fastener.
That Lorenz divided with Machsa
his payment Of two-hfths of each
Government warrant received by
the Groffs in payment for fasteners.
That Lorenz did no work to en-
title him to the one-half share Of
the profits which the defense
claims was his share under agree
ment with the Grofs, and that he
had no contract.
The Government has submitted as
exhibits in support of its conten-
tons a number of documents in

which the money received from the
Government for fasteners circu-
lated until Machen received a share
Of the proceeds.

The $50 payment in cash was the only
evidence OF a contract between the
parties. Two months later Lorenz no.
titled the Groffs that nothing he could
do would advance the sales. as the
Department had already determined %
buy the device as fast as the appro-
priations would admit. The fact that
there was nothing binding between
them anG that he could be of no service
to them did not deter the Groffs from
continuing to pay Lorenz half the
profits with great regularity.
The defense asserts that it was IN

As evidence Of this there was intro
duced the blue pencil letter. as it has

accompanied two copies of a contract
signed by Lorenz, which the Groffs were
to sign. and then return one 10 him.

Gated her. Each deposit OF Croft money
in her name was made by her husband.
and she drew checks and drafts against
it at his request. She was indicted and
brought into the case on purely techni-
cal grounds. and to permit the intro
duction OF important evidence which
otherwise would have been ruled out by
the court.
No Work for Big Share.
Although George E. Lorenz, by his
own admission on the witness stand.
has done absolutely nothing to promote
the sale of iroff fasteners. he received
from the Groffs from 1895 to 1903 more
than $4,000. The defense maintains
that this money was paid by the Groffs
as legitimate commissions under the
agreement to give him half the profits
DiIler- b. Groff said he was not too in
quisitive about why or how the orders
were obtained. as long as they rolled
in they did.
No Contract and No Work.
A curious aspect of the case, again
and again commented on by the Gov
eminent. is that while Lorenz was get
ting all this money without work. he
had only verbal contract with the
Groffs.
When Lorenz saw the Groffs in 1895
and bargained with them for an in
the sale Of Croft fasteners. he received
finally agreed TO pay $500 in cash and
work enthusiasm among postmastcrs.
In return he was to have half the
profits.
Fifty dollars was paid Immediately
and the remainder was taken out of
his share of subsequent payments from
the Government.

Southern market showed pronounced

advances, but were net II to IL points

Say That by First of Month De-
hciency Will be over 100000 Bales.

Say That by First of Month De-
New York, April 15.-From the ac-
tion of the market this week those
who have recently favored any but
the most bearish views appear on
surface of things to know very little
about the value OF cotton and the po-
sition of the staple at the present
time.
A week ago cotton was selling around
10 cents for July, and yesterday sold
below II cents. This in itself would
seem to indicate that prices were alto
gether too high.
We have insisted that the cotton
famine facing us is likely to disturb
calculations of a great many. Also
we have pointed out that the usual
spring feeling in the market at this
season generally makes for a decline
for the time being. but there is any
thing in the cotton situation to sell
for lower prices, we cannot feel con-
fident.
Two years ago 1t will be remem-
bered that prices were somewhat over
cents. When the same spring feel
ing began TO be felt. AT that time
the best feeling in the market was
that it would be financial suicide to
bull cotton in the spring OF the year.
We have no hesitation in stating
that by the first of the month the de-
ficiency will be over 500, 900 bales, and
that by the first of June the crop will
look like 100000 900 bales.
Supplies are running down so rap
idly that cotton will be scarce as
hens teeth before another crop.
On any declines, at least until some
thing is known about the next crop,
we believe in the purchase of October
cotton on good breaks 1t is a very
difficult market to read, but the stu
alton is altogether too strong to en-
terrain bearish views on the future.

Wheat-Wheat prices suffered for the
want of outside interest. a little buy
ing on the part of those sending in
the damaging reports would have made
a strong market. but this evidence OF

was influenced by lower hog market,
and a weakness in wheat and corn.
The market on the whole was dull,
and trading was confined almost en-
tirely to the pit crowd. There are no
new developments in the situation, and
packers are understood to be still bear
ish.
Estimate of hogs, 10000.
