is not that depth OF thought In them that
there is in the music OF Germany; but
they are ever graceful and touching. and
easy to be understood. This is the gen

modern Rossini. who. decidedly inferior IN
science to many OF his brethren. has per-
haps enjoyed greater amount Of popu

his delightful melodies The modern nu-

den exodus of 1000 merchants and
Mullah priests from the Pereian capital
as a protest against the Shah's govern

The insurgents proceeded to the village
of Shah-Abd- Ul-Azim, where the Shah
presided over a representative assembly

Mann succored by Rich Men.

Col. William ID. Mann, of Town
Topics, yesterday admitted at The trial OF
Norman Hapgood, editor OF Golfers
Weekly, for criminal libel, on the COM
plaint n Justice J. NJ. Deuel., of Special
Sessions in New York, that many we'll
known men had succored him with gold
TO the extent of of over $l65, 0OOin loans
when he needed money and was poor.
On his list were William G. Whitney,
Coils P. Huntington, w. X. Wander
bilt. Howard Gould, James R. Keene,
J. P. Morgan. John w. Gates, DIR. ID.
Seward Webb, and others.
In some instances he gave his unsecur-
ed notes and in others security in the
shape Of Town Topics stock The par
value of Town Topics stock is $40 a
share, and often the colonel got as much
as 800, 600 on twenty shares. But the
colonel insisted that he considered it
worth "$l. 900 and more" a share.
Only one of the loans has been re-
paid. the colonel said. and that was to G.
p. Huntington, So, 600. He is dead.
Nearly all of the loans were made
about twelve or fifteen years ago, when
the colonel was ''poor." From w. X.
Vanderbilt, the colonel got $25, 900,
aud ne colonel says that Mr.. Wander
biIt not only returned his notes, but also
gave him the stock, twenty-five shares,
of Town Topics, back. If Mr.. Van
derblt had retained the stock ne would
have been classed by Mr.. Jerome today
as a stockholder in Town Topics, with
John w. Gates, Howard Gould, and DIR.
Seward Webb, who hold between them
sixty shares of the stock. Col. Mann,
Justice Deuel., and Col. Mann's daugh'
ter bold the rest of the stock.
The largest single loan was obtained
from James r. Keene, who loaned the
Town Topics editor 800, 600. From w.
TX. Vanderbilt Col. Mann obtained $685.
900; from J. P. Morgso, 81, 800; from
| w. c. Whitney, $4,000; from Coils
p. Huntington, So, 900; John w. Gates,
s2O. 900; Charles NJ. Schwab, $40, 900;
Thomas r. Ryan, $lO,OUU
Asked whether he ever stopped the
Town Topics press to suppress an arti-
Gle about Loyal Smith, Col. Mann SAID
that such an article was taken from the
paper and that man who came with
Smith placed a /, 900 advertisement in
Town Topics.
A contract was produced showing that
81, 500 was paid by William J. White,
of Cleveland, fort subscription to "fads
and Fancits,'' the book which was Is
sued under Col. Mann's direction. Mr..
Whites name was not in this book, and
Col. Mann was asked why Mr.. White
paid the money. He replied that he did
not know, but that learning that Mr..
White was prominent Cleveland man,
he had approved his subscription. The
price of subscription TO "Fads and
Fancies" was 81 500. and Col. Mann was
asked what Mr.. White paid the extra
81 900 for. -,
"He wanted four pages instead oftwo,"
Gel. Mann replied.
"You didn't hand him back the
! money" said Mr.. Osborne, counsel for
HapgOod. "He got only one book, and
his name was not in the book"
"No." Col. Mann replied.
Col. Mann testified that he might have
made the remark that scandal was sent
| to the Office of Town Topics. Asked who
sent it he replied that it came from re-.
| porters, society people, clubmen and
others.
