Everybody's Magazine.

The June number of Everybody's
brings to US the crucial instalment of
"Frenzied Finance" Mr.. Lawson's
intimate recital of the First Great
Crime of Amalgamated. The hap
penings Of that now famous mid
night session at the National City
Bank on May A, 1899, when Henry
H. Rogers and James Stillman intro
duced an infamous bogus subscrip-
ton and defrauded and robbed thou
sands, are clearly and dramatically
told. Here are facts-facts about a
conspiracy of which the public has
never before had an intimation.
This elaborate account of the meth
DDS by which the public was fleeced
will be startling revelation. 1t is
a marvellous piece of literary work
Mr.. Lawson has set before US. New
er has his wonderful power of vivid
description been so marked as in the
account of the events, hour by hour
Of that eventful day. No modern
writer could portray more brilliant
ly and realistically the scene of the
money worshipers crowding about
Mr.. Lawson in the Waldorf-Astoria
eager for inside information. Verify
it's the South Sea Bubble all over
again.
Equally vital is Mr.. Russell's arti-
Gle answering the Garfield report on
the beef trust. Everybody has stood
aghast at Mr., Garfield's conclusions.
Have we all been wrong? Can it be
possible that our meat bills are not
alarmingly increasing? Is the beef
trust a shadow? Mr.. Russell answers
these questions. Like chemist, he
tests each claim of the report in the
radium light Of reason, relentlessly
revealing its erroneous statements.
He shows how its conclusions are
based on only one phase Of the trust
organization and only one small part
Of the trust operations, and how it
neglects entirely the most essential,
the most obvious points. Surely"
says Mr.. Russell, this is a most ex-
traordinary document to be issuei
from the Office of the national gov
eminent"
The publishers of Everybody'sI
claim this number, the second ami
veasary number, is the best they
have ever issued. They have given
us in addition a remarkable story by
Robert Grant, the author of "The
Undercurrent," in which his keen
insight is turned on one phase of our
civilization. There is a novel and

THROWN IN FRONT or car?
One OF Two Wrestlers on the Williamsburg
Bridge MortalIy Hurt.

Two men were seen wrestling on the plaza
at the Williamsburg end Of the Williams
burg Bridge last night. They didn't at
tract particular attention until one of the
two fell in front of trolley car coming
from New York. Several of the witnesses
say the man was thrown in front Of the
car. which was running down the incline
at good speed. The man was hit by the
fender and rolled under it before the car
could be stopped.
The wheels of the front truck didn't go
over him. but he was unconscious and
badly hurt yhen he was pulled from under
the car. His skull was broken, as were five
OF his ribs. his right arm and left leg He
was taken to the Williamsburg Hospital,
where it was said he could not possibly
live.
The moment the fender of the car hit
him the other man took to his heels. He
was followed by half dozen people for
three blocks, but he got away. Neither
man seemed to be drunk. The police have
little to work on. not even a good descrip-
ton.
The injured man is about rs years old
and he looks like a foreigner. He was
dressed fairly well, but had nothing on
his person which showed who he was.

SECY SHAW'S TARIFF SPEECH
It Was Revised By the President Before
tho Secretary Went to Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The advance
tariff policy advocated by Secretary shaw
in his speech at Cleveland last night was no
surprise to leading members OF the Ad-
ministration in Washington. Mr. haw
read his speech to President Rooevelt
before leaving Washington for his Western
trip, and the President made certain sug-
gestions which led to material changes in
the original draft. The Secretary also dis
cussed the subject matter of his speech
with other persons two or three days before
he went to Cleveland, and to them he made
it clear that the policy Of the Administration
is to retaliate against nations which dis
criminate against us in trade matters,
Mr.. Shaw advocates legislation stablish-
inf ma ximum and minimum tariff system.
Tut he would not employ this system as
it Is Employed in some European countries.
He favors the establishment of a maximum
tariff which will be used simply as club,
and he would use it relentlessly on such
nations as discriminate against the United
States. Secretary Shaw does not believe
in reciprocity. for he says reciprocity is
simply another name for discrimination
and the United States Government, he
holds, resents discrimination on the part
of others and should be in a position to
retaliate

U. s. BUYING SHIPS ABROAD.
Eisht Said to Have Been Launched for
Us In q Chinese Yard.

ELIiABErH, n. D., May 2l.--The sugges-
ton that the Panama Canal Commission
might buy ships and supplies abroad if
obtainable cheaper than in American mar
kets. and the discussion that has followed,
has recalled TO those who are aware OF the
facts, that even now it is apparently not
the policy Of the United States Govern
ment to purchase all it's ships from American
yards.
Since the acquisition of the Philippines
several vessels have been constructed for
use In the insular service of the United
States, and the contracts for many OF these
have been given to foreign companies.
Within twelve months and before March
there had been launched eight ships from
the yards Of the Whampoa Shipbuildng
Company, about twelve miles from Can
ton, China. While the shipbuilding in
dustry was in state of stagnation at home,
in tho foundries and machine shops Of
Whampoa men were busy day and night
turning out material to be used in the con-
struction of American ships
The eight boats launched were 100 feet
long. OF l 900 horse power. and their CON-
tracts called for a speed of twelve knots an
hour Some OF them developed speed of
one-sixth Of knot better than this over
their trial courses. They were fitted
with electricity. complete distilling APP
paratus and cost the Government in no
case less than $4,000 each. Although
Chinese help Is used at Whampoa wherever
available it il said that the ships could be
constructed here at the same cost.

KNON DESERTS PITTSBI re.
Feeling Against Him I'm Western Pennsyl-
yanIa Increased by Renting OF His Home.

PIrTsBuRu, May 21.-United States Sena-
tor Phander c. Knox has leased his home
on Ellsworth avenue. Shadyside. to Presi-
dent A. C. Dinkey Of the Carnegie Steel
Company for three years, and to all in
tents and purposes has abandoned Pitts
burg as a residence. Hereafter the man
supposed to represent the western part of
Pennsylvania in the Senate will spend his
winters in Washington and the rest OF the
year at Valley Forge, near Philadelphia.
1t cannot he denied that the renting Of
his home for such long period and practi-
cally cutting adrift from Pittsburg has
increased further the feeling against Mr..
Knox here. The voters of western Penn
sylvania have not felt kindly disposed
toward Mr., Knox since it was made known
that last fall he had to be forced to come
to Pittsburg to make an address, His
popularity wasn't increased either when
not long since the county delegation voted
him as their chairman at the State Republi-
can convention, and Mr.. Knox sent word
that he would not only not act as chair
man. but he would not be at the convention.

LONDON. May 22-The Paris corre-
spondent Of tho Times says he learns from
q we'll informed Russian source that the
rendezvous Of Admiral Rojestvensky g
ooaling fleet Is at one OF the islands In Bal
tintang Channel, probably Babuyanclaro,
upon which there Is lighthouse. This
island is north Of Luzon.
Russian ooaling feet OF 81 vessels and
three other steamers, supposed to be carry
ing ammunition with sailing orders from
Hamburg received instructions at Singa-
pore as to their deet inati ion.
The island will be merely point of rem
devious where the Golfers will receive
further instructions from Admiral Rojest-
vensky az to the particular harbor or bay
where the fleet will coal
This probably will be somewhere on the
coast Of the Island Of Luzon. The Ameri-
cans have only few ships at Manila, and
nothing better than first class cruiser,
They are wholly ina dequate for anything
more than a demonstration in the event OF
coming up with the Russian fleet.
From this information it would seem
that Admiral Rojestvensky's intention is
to continue his route TO the southeast of
Formosa, instead of passing through For
mosa Strait.
