FREEDOM Fer MANSION.
Enuravsr, Under Charge Of eeuntcr-
f1itIhy, Given Verdict Of "Not
Guilty" In Federal Court.

At 1928 o'clock Saturday night the
Jury in the case of the United States
government against Charles A. Man
ston, charged with the engraving at
counterfeit plates for tie making or
the buffalo" $40 bill, returned q y9t-
dict of not guilty IN the United State5
court at Atlanta.
AS soon as ClerH Moore read the
verdict handed him by Foreman At
kins, Miss Olga Mans on, sister of the
accused, burst into tears, and evident
IL overcome by her emotions, started
in the direction of her brother for the
purpose of making a demonstration
exclaiming; Right prevails
Many OF the near friends Of Mr..
Mansion also crowded about him, or
were trying to when Judge Newman
raped loudly for order and called
out in NO uncertain tone that no com
motion OF any kind would be tolerated
for a single moment; that no demon
stration would be permitted and that
every person must remain quiet in
the court room.
Judge Newman then turned to the
standing jurors and excused them
from the case.
Mansion, who throughout tho long
afternoon had been the most com
posed person In the court room to all
appearances, heard the reading OF the
verdict with the close attention Of one
who realized all that 1t must mean.
But still there was not the least ner-
vousness or Indication of single ire
NOR. His sister, on the other hand,
when sternly reprimanded by Judge
Newman, along with others in the
court room, threw her arms down
upon a table and burying her face in
her hands, shook with cOnvulsive sob
bling.
But with the realization of the YER
dict declaring his innocence, Mansion
lost the control which has character
tied his every action through the long,
trying ordeal AS he rose from his
seat, his whole frame shook percepti-
bly, and when he finally attempted to
return the greetings of some of his
many friends who had remained with
him during his long vigil his voice
shook with emotion and he was COM
PEELED to smile back the thanks which
he could rot utter.
Shortly afterwards he was seen by a
Constitution reporter and asked if he
wished to make any statement. 81
can't say anything. | can't talk" he
replied as he walked toward the ele-
Vator.
Then, leaning against the wall of
the federal building, he waited for the
the elevator that should take him bacl.
again into the free, outside world be-
low, for he had eaten his supper as a
prisoner IN custody of United States
marshal.
There were tears in his eyes as he
stood waiting for the elevator, and
there was no mistaking the fact that
the terrible reaction Of the long trial
had set in.

The Lake City correspondent Of
TIE News aud C)utier tells very
intere ting story today about the
success which tie strawberry growers
at that place have had this year in
the making and marketing Of their
crop. Oae Of the growera has made
80 far this season Sl,061 81 net on
three and oue.qaarter acres planted
in berries, Or en- average of 1926 64
an acre. Another grower has made
on sever. ejghtns of an acre 1899 80
net, or au average Of 1886 Sc an acre.
Still another farmer has made Sl,507.-
19 on four acres, or "a average OF
5000 26 an acre, and one farmer wfo
had only one q1arter of an acre
planted in berries has made Sl06.0G
net on his patch, or at the rate Of
$424 "a en- acre.
We doubt that any better record
has been made by the farmers in any
part of this country, and what these

done this year on their strawberry

done every year on the farms III this

VICTORY OF JAPANESE

Toxic, jane 16 The Russian hope
Of relieving the pressure on Port
Arthur By threatening the resr Of
Gen. Oku, the commander Of TIE
Japanese forces investing the Rus
sian stronghold, came to an end
yesterday at Te!issu, point on the
railroad so miles north Of kincnou
and 25 miles north of Vafangow,
when the Russians were out-ma-
nouTred, enveIoped and sweepinel7
defeated. They left more than 500
dead on the field and the Japanese
captured 800 prisoners end Il quick
firing field guns. The Russians re-
treated hastily to the northward.
Early estimates of the Japanese
losses at Telissu say that 1000 men
were killed or wounded.
THE JAPANESE LOSE TWO TRANSPORTS
Toxic, June 16.-All doubt as TO
the sinking of the transports Hitscbi
and Ssdo by the Russians has been
removed. Three hundred and ninety
seven survivors of the Hitachi have
arrived at Moi and 153 survivors of
the Sado have arrived at Kokura.
Details obtainable from the survi-
vors of the i'll fated Japaunee trans
ports show that the Hitachi andN the
Sado met three Russian warships
near Xxi island. The Russians fred
on the Japanese ships and stepped
them, and soon afterwsrd they tor
pedoed and sank the helpless trans
sports. II is reported that the
transports Hitachi and Sado carried
only I,4O0 men. If this is true, the
loss in lives is probably less thsn
1000.
The transports, however, had
many horses and large quantities Of
supplies on board.

a Queer Corner.

One of the queerest corners of the
earth is Chatham island, off the coast
of Ecuador. The island lies 600
miles west of Guayaquil, and the
equator runs directly through it. 1t
abounds in cats, every one of which
is black. These animals live in the
crevices of the lava foundation near
the coast and subsist by catching fish
and crabs instead Of rats and mice.
Other animals found on this island
are horses, cattle, dogs, goats and
chickens, all of which ale perfectly
wild.

Inc aagh!aaoer 0est1oyeo.
Manager T. D. Love of the High
lander was greatly surprised and pro-
foundly shocked Thursday night by
a telegram saying the Highlander
had been burned 25 miles above
Georgetown. The telegram gave no
particulars and nothing is known
here as to the origin of the fire.
The boat was on it's way to George
town at the time and had no cargo.
The vessel was practically new, hav-
ing been built only three years ago,
and was valued at $4,000. It was
insured for only $4,000, with J. H.
Boatwright & Son at Wilmington, N.
G. Although the telegram says "total
loss," Manager Love is of the opinion
that much of the machinery may be
saved. The loss falls heavily on Mr..
Love-he and not the Chamber of
Commerce being the owner.
The Highlander was the first and
only boat on the line the Chamber of
Commerce instituted this spring to
give Columbia water connection with
the coast. The business has steadily
increased since the first tripe, and ar.
rangements had just been made for
hauling cotton, which would greatly
relieve the situation and for which
the Chamber of Commerce had been
working for several months.
Just what steps will be taken 10
put another boat in commission on
the river cannot be said at this time,
but there is no doubt but that this
will be done as quickly as the Cham
Der of Commerce can make the
arrangements.

THE LAW ABOUT
STEAMER LOSSES
UNITED STATES JUDGE DOLE
LAYS DOWN IMPORTANT RULES
AS TO LIABILITY.
King Street near Nuuanu.

Judge Dole's decision yesterday,
awarding full damages to Miss Gene
We've Dowsett for loss of her trunk
which was dropped into the sea from a
Kinau shore boat contained the follow
ing:
The decision runs in part thus:
1T is very clear from the evidence,
and mainly of Homo and Kahiona, wit
nesses for the defense, that this boat
was loaded with freight of such a char
acter that the management of the boat
and the use Of the oars was seriously
interfered with. The boat went out OF
the slip stern first, the rowers changing
their positions and sitting with their
| backs to the sherman, who had large
steering oar.
''As far as can be discerned, the boat
proceeded out on the receding wave
from the slip and remained broadstde to
the waves, exposed to danger in its
most defenceless part The tendency
of a blind roller striking the side of a
boat is to come aboard; If the bow OF
the boat points to the blind roller the
injurious tendency is greatly reduced
so that in many cases, what would be
dangerous to a boat lying parallel to a
blind roller, would not be in any way
dangerous to the same boat lying head
on to the roller There is very little
evidence about the size Of this roller.
Homo says it came on to him from
above. Freight was taken on board
this boat of such a character and stow
ed in such a manner that only one
half of the propelling power of the boat
could be utilized, and but one oar was
| in operation before the catastrophe.
, believe that If the boat had had the use
of all Of its oars and they had been
used with ordinary skill and she had
been promptly turned seward on leav-
ing the slip, as could have been done
with all of the oars or perhaps with
two or three of them, she would have
escaped the catastrophe which occurred
1t Is a question whether, under such
circumstances, it was not negligence to
take the boat out of the slip stern first
with large steering car in what was
then the bow Of the boat, an oar which
could easily have been struck aside by
such wave as a blind roller and which
in such a sea was likely to be far less
effective than If it was in it's proper
position at the stern.
Although the Wis Major Act OF
God and Peril Of the Sea- have dis
tinctive meanings, they are often con-
fused with each other, and generally
are reducible to the term inevitable or
unpreventable accident, which Is a ca
tastrophe occurring without the inter
vention of human agency and produc-
ing a loss in spite of all human effort
Of sagacity' The burden of proof up
on failure to deliver the goods in order
and condition, is on the carrier, to show
that the loss resulted from an inevitable
accident or some other cause for which
1t is not responsible"
