According to the story Louis Lonsberg
told the crew of the Merritt-C Chapman
wrecking tug l. j. Merritt at Slap eton
yesterday morning when they had taken him
from the water he and h g brother o h had
been decoyed on board the bark Arrow by
their father and signed for a oyage to
China against their will. So they had
jumped overheard and tried to swim ashore.
Louis was pretty well exhausted when
hauled aboard the tug and John was not
to be found. Later, however, John showed
up In a rowboat looking for Louis. He
said he had landed a half mile below the
Merritt Chapman station because OF the
swiftness Of the tide. He was told that his
brother had gone to New York, and he set
out to find him. =.
Louis told the tug crew that his father had
prom ssd several days ago to send them on
q voyage in a steamship, and with that
understanding they went with him to Staple

that they would be made to work more

to take them off the ship and they decided
to take French leave at the earliest oppor-
tunity. They were both good swimmers
and the Staten Island shore did not look
far away.
Just before day they slipped over the
bow, aid down the chain, and tying their
clothes about them started for the shore.
The tide was strong and they were sepa-

MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE.
Poole Takes the Verdict CooIly, While Hi
Relatives Weep.


MINEoLA, l.. l., June 1e.-The jury in
the case Of Grover Cleveland Poole, on
trial for the killing Of James O'HSra in
Port Washington last August, brought
in a verdict this morning Of murder in the
second degree. 1t took the case at 4:so
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and was locked
up all night. 1t was ready with the YER
dict when court opened at 10 O'Clock.
Poole took the verdict coolly. There
was a suspicion OF a smile on his face when
the foreman announced the finding. Mrs.
O'Hara, the widow Of the murdered man,
her daughter, Gertrude, Poole's former
sweetheart upon whom he tried to fasten
the guilt Of the murder, and a Mrs. Duryea,
Poole's cousin, were in the court room
when the verdict was announced, and they
all broke down and wept. When the CON-
sable tapped Poole on the shoulder and
motioned for him to follow to a cell, he
sneeringly remarked;
Il guess that will hold me for a while.s
Poole will be sentenced on Tuesday next.
His oounsel will move for a new trial. It
was rumored that for a time eleven Of the
jurymen were for bringing in a verdict
OF murder in the first degree. Gertrude
O.aara. who had been detained as q witness
committed the crime, was released.
While Poole was in the court room yes
terday Sheriff Gildersleeve searched his
cell and found a razor hidden under the
razor was found in the cell, and 1t is the
belief OF the Jail officials that Poole either
contemplated suicide or an attempt to get
out. The keepers can't explain how Poole
got the razors. They say the in struments
must have been struggled In to him by
women visitors.
Poole's mother, his sister, Lottie; and his
cousin, Mrs. Duryea, said good-by to him
In his cell after he had been brought from
the court room. They wept bitterly, but
Poole showed no emotion.

against their interests and at a price below
the real value. They also say that the OBJ
ject Of the sale was to put control Of the cor
poration entirely in Mr.. Tilford's bands.

old son Of Louis F. and Emily Park Requa,

HAY ABLAZE IN VEST ORANGE.
Fire Shoulders In the Bales and May Last
Several DAYS

WEST ORANGE. N. j., June le.-Firemen
have spent the entire day fighting a fire
which has destroyed the large grain and hay
storehouse Of Henry W. Smith a Co., on the
Erie Railroad at White street. It may be
several days before the last spark is ex-
tinguished, and until that time the neigh
borhood is menaced, for the burned ware
house was situated in the heart Of a thickly
built-up settlement Of wooden buildings, and
only the rain OF to-day prevented a wide
spread con~fagration, for the water supply
OF both Orange and West Orange was in
adequate at the early etages OF the fire,
Estimates figuring the loss as high as $50
600 have been made, but the firm thinks IL
will be less than that.
A cloud OF pungent yellowish smoke has
eettied over West Orange and the westerly
banging clouds, This smoke is laden with
nne pieces Of charcoal which are irritating
to throat and lungs.

FARE no CONEY ISLAND.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company Defends
the Ten Cent Rate.

The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
has issued a statement upholding the 10
cent fare to Coney Island, less than which,
it is said, would scarcely yield a profit.
Public sentiment, the company says. ais
not all in favor Of a five oe mt fare to Coney
Island. On the contrary, the owners Of
many places Of resort ON Coney Island
have recorded their opposition to a reduce
cheaper fare will bring them a much less
desirable class OF patrons. In connection
with the subject, It should be recalled that
the system OF universal transfers which lie
nov In force throughout Brooklyn and
Queens effects an actual reduction Of the
these two boroughs to Coney Island and
establishes a uniform fare OF FIVE cents
throughout the entire territory"

TO ORGANIZE INDIAN TRIBES
Into q Joi nj Stock Company 70 Work Their
Mineral Lands.

WASHINGTON, Dec. A.-Francis M.
Leupp, COMMISSIONS of indian Affairs,
has submitted a plan to President Roose-
welt to organize the Choctaw and Chickasaw
tribes in the Indian Territory into a joint
stock company for the purpose Of mining
and selling coal and asphaltum. The Indians
own immense tracts Of land, c~onservatively
estimated to be worth 500 900, 900, contain
ing large quantities OF these two products.
This fact was brought out to-day at a meet
ing OF the Senate Committee on indian
Affairs, which has under consideration bills
providing for the disposal Of the coal and
asphaltum lands in Indian Territory.
Secretary Of the Interior Hitchcock
told Of the plans Of the Commission OF
Indian Affairs. Mr.. Leupp proposes that
instead OF the Government authorizing
the Indians to sell their lands or the Cow
eminent buying them a joint stock COM
pany shall be organized, the board Of direc-
] tors 70 be composed of Indians and officials
Of the Government, including the Secretary
Of the Interior, the SEQ etary OF the Treas
ury and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
TIL life Of the corporation shall continue
for a period OF twenty-five years. The
enterprise will be taxed for school purposes.
Under the form Of corporation the Gov
eminent would have a tight hold on the
indian lands. az IL would be provided that
no Indian s~tockholder should be permitted
to transfer his holdings except with the
approval Of the Secretary OF the Interior.
Under the present laws the coal and a.
phalt lands OF the Choctaws and Chioka-
saws are worked under a leasing system.
which is a constant source Of trouble to the
Interior Department. 1t Is proposed in
bills pending IN congress that the lands
shall be sold. Commissioner Leupp recon-
mends the joint stock company plan, and
Ii ia understood that IL meets with the ann
prevail Of the President.

HOPE FOR SUBSIDY BILL.
PresIden TO Send q the HOu a special
Message Urging Its Passage.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Republican
members OF the House Committee on Mer-
chant Marine and Fisheries held a confer
ence to-day and reached an agreement
10 have a vote taken in the full committee
on the shipping bill on January. II is un-
derstood that in the meantime the President
will send a special message to Congress
urging the passage OF a ship subsidy bill.
He is said to rave intimated to several
members OF the committee that he intended
to take such action in the hopethat Congress
might be brought to realize the advisaDiltty
Of legislation OF this character.
The President desires that a measure for
the upbuilding Of the merchant marine shall
be tho one big piece Of legislation enacted
at this session OF Congress. Whether or not
he will be able to force some OF the Repub-
lican opponents Of the bill into line is q
matter That cannot now be determined.
The friends of the measure, too, hope to
be able to bring either Representative
Flack or Representative McDermott to
Washington by January land nave them vote
on the bill in the committee. II they are
able to do this there is some prospect that
the measure may be reported. Both Mr..
Flaok and Mr.. McDermott nave been I'll,
and but for the shipping bill II is probable
that neither would attend this session OF
With the promised assistance OF the
President and the prospect Of getting in one
OF the absentees who favors the bill the
friends Of the measure are more hopeful
OF success than they have been heretofore.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1A.-Extensive land
frauds in the Indian Territory, in which a
number OF Government officials, unscrupu-
lous whites and a score or more Of civilized
Indians are alleged to be involved, is about
to be made the subject OF investigation
under the direction Of Ethan A. Hitchcock,
Secretary OF the Interior. The and in

Sdered at a conference held at the Indian
Office to-day between Indian Commits
sioner Francis E. Leupp and william Dud-
ley Foulke, who went TO the Territory some
weeks g by direction Of the President
to look into the charges that valuable town

tention Of the Government to get these
tracts into the hands OF as many individuals
as possible, but it Is alleged that hundreds
Of town sites in The Territory have been
acquired by a few people in express viola

This was done, it is alleged. through
dummy purchasers who selected town

mittees their desire to buy, and then after
securing title transferred IL to the persons
for whom they were really acting In the
first instance. The charge has been made
that at least one prominent official In the
Territory now owns town sites that were
secured through fraud.
The matter was placed before Secretary
Hitchcock, n later before the President.

SHAW on ELASTIC CURRENCY.
He Docs Not Believe the Bankers' Pian
Would Meet the Situation.


WASHINGTON, Dec. IA--Secretary Of the
Treasury Shaw discussed the financial
situation before the House Committee on
Banking and Currency, with particular
reference 20 the recommendations OF the
Bankers Association a TO the method OF
providing a more elastic currency for the
demands Of business. Mr.. Shaw declared
that there could be n o doubt as to the urgent
necessity for legislation to provide more
currency, and said that IL was a problem
with which he had long been struggling.
and that the condition at times caused him
no little concern.
He did not believe. however. that the
plan suggested by the bankers would meet
the necessities Of the situation. He de-
clared that 1t would be ineffective in q
large measure for the purpose intended,
hat 1t was ~unscientihc and mbered
with too much machinery for the limited
results which he believed 1t would accom-
plish.
Mr.. Shaw did not directly antagonize the
scheme, but sought to point out that It
would not 90 far enough TO meet the situa-
ton and the demand for CRATER elasticity
OF the currency at certain seasons.
The point which he sought most to i'm
press upon he committee was hat all Of
our currency should be made more elastic
and the elasticity should not be confined
alone to the note proposed TO be issued
under the bankers scheme. He suggested
that a more advisable plan would be TO issue
$500 900 600 OF the same kind OF notes as
the banks are now issuing, OF exactly the
same appearance and guaranteed by the
Government and redeemable the same AZ
other notes and protected by a guarantee
fund.
Mr.. Shaw said he did not think that more
thar 10 per cent. of the $500, 600, 600 proposed
would be in process of redemption at one
time. There would be no reason why
private banks should seek the redemption
OF national bank notes, and consequently
they would make nc effort to do so. He
declared that he felt there was no danger
OF imitation IL both the bond secured notes
and the credit notes were alike made elastic,
as the business of the country was increas-
ing at the rate of 1 2O,OO0yOO0 a year, and 1t
would all be absorbed. Even in ordinary
times he felt that at least 500 900 900 would
be speedily absorbed.
p He said that the bankers plan you'd be
a step toward relieving the demand for a
greater elasticity at certain sections of
the year, but he urged upon the committee
the d~esirability of framing a measure which
would give elasticity to both forms Of bank
notes.
The members OF the committee are hav-
ing great difficulty in arriving at a solu-
tion of the financial problem. They con-
coded that it is very complex, and that
despite the elaborate arguments which have
been made by the bankers, they are more
or less at a loss to reach a decision of what
is actually needed to relieve the situation.
Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely will
he heard by the committee. .
