broken, allowing the great hulk to go
adrift. Again in the Mediterranean,
not far from Malta, early in April,
the dock broke from its companions
and foundered about for short time.

Cleveland, o., July 1.-THE federal
grand jury Tuesday resumed its in
vestigation of alleged violations of in
terstate commerce laws by various

hand. Among those who testified
were G. l.. Meyers, clerk in the
freight tariff department of the Lake
Shore company; R. M. Huddleston,
general auditor of the same company,
and G. T. Curtis, sales agent of the
Standard Oil company. Several addi-

which was for j. G. Clark, freight
agent Of the Lake Shore road at Chi
cago. The witnesses were noncom-

room and declined to discuss anything
that had transpired.
It is understood that Mr.. Sullivan

that Mr.. Sullivan will visit James

the people at the polls or primary.
Congressman ]. Adam Bede of Mime

declared that the shortest cut to the

next to impossible to get a constitu-
