''All of the Trunk Lines are large

BALTIMORE. Md, July 22.-Despondent
because of family troubles. Joseph Kane

jenkins Incident Closed at Ports
mouth-Will Not Be Prosecuted.
Special Dispatch to The Star
PORTSMOUTH, Va, July 22.-W. D. Jen-
kins has paid the shortage In his accounts
money order clerk in the Portsmouth
post Office. He paid the balance, $1.I 80.
The whole shortage was $1918SO. on which
he had paid soon after the discovery of the
shortage $777. He had been allowed until
the Goth in which to pay the shortage by
District Attorney Lewis. and he was but
one day behind the limit. He will not be
prosecuted.
Inspector Bulla. who investigated the
books of the post office. has not told just
how the shortage occurred. But it is known
that the money order clerk has to make
weekly reports of all the transactions of his
department hence II Is inferred that in the
case of Jenkins 1t was matter Of book
keeping and of delay. He did not report all
of the transactions to Washington prompt
ly and therefore the discrepancy did not
show in his accounts till they were exam
ined by an expert for the purpose of finding
out what the error was w. D. jenkins
will be dismissed from the post Office. He
Is not under arrest and not detained. The
officers of the government seem to be salts
fed with getting the money which Inspector
Bulla declared was due to the government
and are willing to stop at that.
There was no doubt of that for the ac-
cused was bonded to the amount of 81. 600.
and 1t is likely that the surety has been
compelled to advance some OF the money
to prevent the action of the federal officers
on the ground that the limit of grace for
the repayment of the money had already
been exhausted. There is merely the ex-
hibit of the shortage and the confusion of
the accounts as shown by Inspector Bulla.

The project is the largest ever launched
In Cleveland and will require about two
years to complete.
The new belt line is incorporated as the
Cleveland Short Line Railway Company.
While local capital Is standing back of
the project, New York bankers have been
brought into the deal and are lending their
support to the plan. Already about 1900
have been expended In surveying and max
ing the preliminary plans. The road will
bisect the great center of steel industry at
Newburg, and 1t will be able to draw heav-
lily on the ore and coal forks at Fairport
and Lorraine.
The belt line has made traffic arrange
ments with the Nickel Plate. and will op-
crate into this city from Fairport over the

Co.'S weekly review of trade for Baltimore.
issued today. states:
"AH lines of wholesale trade show nor
NAL activity, and the outlook for next sea-
son appears bright. Current business in
dry goods at wholesale is unusually good,
and collections are better than for some
time past. Clothing manufacturers are
we'll supplied with orders. though there is
some complaint of cancellations In certain
sections.
Straw hat manufacturers have enjoyed
a prosperous season, the volume Of trade
having been greater than last year, and
collections are exceptionally good. The
situation In boots and shoes continues
good, orders being plentiful. while prices
are firm. There is but little activity in leaf
tobacco though collections are fair and
prices strong.
Furniture factories are fairly busy. and
prices are on a better level. Lumber trade
continues exceptionally good in all
branches. Owing to the reduced acreage
of tomato planting and the anticipated
short pack. the price Of futures Is expected
to advance from IS to 80 per cent for fall.
The pack Of corn and peas is expected to
be about normal. but prices are very firm
and the demand strong"

SAY HE SLAMMED SUICIDE.
Ugly Story Af1oat About South Caro-
lima Man.
Special nispafch to The Star.

WILMINGTON, n. c.. July PA re-
port was current throughout South Caro-
lima this morning to the effect that Robt
X. Dargen. late president of the Darling
ton. S. c.. Oil Company and other Inter-
ests. has slammed suicide and then es-
capped to France, carrying with him the
moneys of the company. which was capt.
talixed at a million dollars.
After the supposed suicide the coroner
went into the Office, where he saw OAR
gen sitting with his head bound up and
apparently dead. The coroner gave per-
mission to move the body to the elegantly
furnished residence of Darsen. 1t Is fur
Their added that the coroner thrust a hand
under Dargen's arm, aud it was still
warm. Dargen was. however, pronounced
dead by physician who made an ex-
animation.
In the face of the strong testimony to
the mans death the rumor is still af1oat
that Dargens suicide was a fake. He
was the head of interests representing
possibly in excess Of a million, and held
the entire confidence of the stockholders.
The concern. collapsed about two weeks
ago, and shortly after came the news of
the suicide. A telegram from Darlington
tonight declares that Dargen is really
dead.
