A. B, Spear. recently cashier of the
Oberlin. o.. bank, was received at the
penitentiary last week to enter upon
his seven years Imprisonment. He
brought with him a letter from Dis
trict Attorney John J. Sullivan. VINO

requested Warden Gould TO give the
prisoner clerical work. Because there
are now ten bankers in the penlten,

to clerical work. it is not likely that
Spear will be given an easy task at

BEEF TRUST AGAIN
NOW REACHING OUT IN ARGEN-
TINE REPUBLIC.

ut Is not surprising, in view of the inn
portance Of the Argentine Republic as a
cattle producing country, to know that the
beef trust, that combination of American
push and enterprise, has its agents in
Buenos Ayres now. looking to secure control
of the entire beef output Of that country"
said Mr.. John Vavasour Noel, who was d.
rector Of the italian department of the re-
publican national committee during the ex-
citing presidential campaign last fall, and
who, from his experience in the Argentine
Republic, Is well acquainted with the con-
ditions there.
Mr.. Noel Is in this city for a few days
accompanied by DR.. Salvador Praato. the
Argentine consul at st. Louis. "When you
learn that in the Argentine Republic there
are 240.OOO.OO0 acres devoted to raising cat
tie and sheep, and that in 1900 more than
80, 600 600 cattle and 100, 600. eco sheep were
pastured on these immense ranges you will
understand why the monopoliStic beef trust
is seeking to extend its tentacles to those
markets." continued Mr.. Noel II think,
too, that the Argentine people look with dis
favor upon this American invasion of their
cattle market, and oppose it wherever they
can They prefer that this important in
dustry remain in their own hands. Re-
Gently a number of fast ships Of large tom
mage were built in English shipyards espe-
cially FOR the Argentine beef export trade.
Ihey are mammoth refrigeratlng plants, de-
si6Hcu ~ ciidDic Tic SApOl LEI ~ dci1Nei pcCl
In London, Liverpool and German ports
from Buenos Ayres in a perfect state of
preservation. Before the introduction of
these ships the Argentine exporters were
placed at a serious disadvantage in the mar
kets of Europe. They were shipping beef
in tasajo.' or the dried state, and cattle
on the 'hoof,' which at the time seemed
satisfactory enough But the outbreak of
the hoof and mouth disease brought about
the German cattle embargo laws, and the
Argentine cattle shippers were forced to
adopt the modern refrigerating method Of
exporting their beef.
Another important feature in the devel-
opment of Argentine and one in which
American capitalists will be interested, is
the demand for railroads The present
railroads, which We're built almost entirely
by English capital, are inadequate, and the
people are waking up to this fact. They
realize that to develop their immense coun-
try properly they must have more railroad
facilities, though, strange as it may seem,
they are opposed to any further English
investment in this field The English al
ready have nearly $20,OO0O00 invested there,
and In the popular native mind to encour-
age further investment would mean to en-
large the English scope of power and in
fiuence. On the other hand l have been
told that the Argentine people, particularly
President Quintana, are strongly in favor
of the investment of American capital in
their railroads, and would offer every.
couragement to any immediate project by
capitalists in this country. They regard
Americans as pioneers in railroad building
and America as having the best in the
world"

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. July Is. 1908.
The first steps toward the completion OF
arrangements for the funeral obsequies IN
connection with the placing of the remains
of Admiral John Paul Jones in the tenn
porary vault at the Naval Academy. when
the body of that distinguished officer Is
brought to Annapolis from France. were
taken by the officials of the Naval Academy
today.
1t was announced that the funeral would
be a military one. The exact date for
the funeral services of the body OF the first
admiral of the navy is not known. IL IL
thought however. that Admiral Sgsbee's
squadron of warships. which was detailed
to convey the remains to this country, will
arrive at the roads about the latter part OF
next week, probably Saturday but II all
depends upon what day the squadron reach
the capes or Chesapeake bay. The body
of the admiral is aboard the cruiser Brook
lyn, flagship OF the fleet.
When the funeral services take place An
napolis harbor will present the most novel
spectacle. for there will be assembled In
the roads and harbor total OF seventeen
warships, representing the largest type OF
vessels of the navy, and the fleet will be
the most formidable that ever assembled in
the upper regions of Chesapeake bay. Ad-
miral Sigsbee's squadron consists of four
cruisers, as follows: The Brooklyn. Ia
coma. Galveston and Chattanooga
When the funeral fleet arrives at the
capes II VIII be met by q squadron OF seven
battIeships and four of the largest armored
cruisers of the navy, in addition to tho
French cruiser Jurien de Ia Garvierx which
Is now visiting the port of Baltimore. The
battleship squadron will be that OF Rear
Admiral Evans of the North Atlantic fleet,
which consists of the following: Maine,
Missouri Iowa, Illinois, Massachusetts,
kearsarge, Alabama and Kentucky. Tho
armored cruisers will be the division OF
the same feet under the command OF Rear
Admiral Willard II. Brownson, former su-
perintendent OF the Naval Academy, thus
making seventeen vessels In all to partici-
pate in the obsequies. The battleships and
cruisers and the French cruiser will assem-
bic at the capes and upon the arrival OF
Admiral Sigsbee's fleet they viii proceed
at once up the bay to this city as an es-
cort.
The fleets will anchor off the river and
the body of the admiral will be transported
from the Brooklyn to the academy and
placed in the vault. AS the body is being
brought to shore the academy shore bat
terry Will fire salute of seventeen guns,
the number due vice admiral. The cere-
be marked by the firing of three volleys
by squad of marines to be detailed. and
taps" will be sounded
The vault will then be hermet!cally sealed
and will remain until the large crypt in
the basement of the new chapel which will
be the final resting place of the bones of
the great naval hero, is completed. Rear
Admiral James II. Sands, superintendent of
the Naval Academy, has been placed in
charge of arranging all necessary details
for the ceremonies.
