RICH MEN BUNC0ED
Town Topics ''Eorrowed" Big
Sums from Money Kings.
STARTLING ASSERTIONS
The Stock Of Vampire Magazine Worth
Only $10 a Share Was Disposed
of at $1,000 a Share, Says
Colonel Mann.

Colonel W. D. Mann, editor of Town
Topics, testified at the Hapgood GRIM
inal libel trial at New York Monday
that he had borrowed nearly 100000
from ]. P. Morgan, James R. Keene,
W. K. Vanderbilt, William c. Whit
ney and other prominent fnanciers.
Many of these loans never were re-
paid so far as Colonel Mann could
recall and others were repaid in
stock of Town Topics company at
$1,000 a share.
The largest single loan was OBJ
tanned from James R. Keene, who
loaned the Town Topics editor $780,
900. From w. K. Vanderbilt Colonel
Mann obtained s2o,000; from ]. P.
Morgan, $4,000; from w. c. Whit
ney, $4,000; from Coils P. Hunting
ton, $4,000; John w. Gates, $4,000;
Charles NJ. Schwab, $4,000; Thomas
F. Ryan, $4,000.
When Colonel Mann testified that
many of these loans were paid in
Town Topics stock at $1,000 a share
James w. Osborne, counsel for Mr..
Hapgood, asked If the par value OF
the stock is not $40 per share. Colonel
Mann replied that it was.
A contract was produced showing
that $4,000 was paid by William ].
White of Cleveland for subscrip.
ton to Fads and Fancies, the book
which was issued under Colonel
Mann's direction.
Mr.. Whites name was not in this
book and Colonel Mann was asked
why MIR. White paid the money. He
replied that he did not know, and,
learning that Mr.. White was prom
inent Cleveland man, he had approx
ed his subscription. The price OF
a subscription to Fads and FancieS
was $1,000 and Colonel Mann was
asked what Mr.. White paid the extra
$1,000 for.
"He wanted four pages instead OF
two," Colonel Mann replied.
Colonel Mann's dealings with United
States Senator William A. Clark OF
Montana were taken up by Mr.. Os-
borne. The witness said he never re-
ceived any money from the senator.
There was a series Of articles
about member Of his family" MI.
Osborne asked.
81 am not aware Of It," said Colo
mel Mann.
"That series was stopped and you
became friends with Senator Clarke"
eyes"
"How did you become friendly with
him without money!"
There was some correspondence
with him." said the witness. 1.-THE
senator came to my Office and talked
for an hour or two. He said he was
building a railroad. He said he was
going to issue bonds only when the
road was complete, and that I could
have some of the bonds then. From
that day to this I have not seen Sen
ator Clark"
Asked whether there was a key
to anonymous paragraphs In Town
Topics, Colonel Mann said there was
none. His attention was then called
to two paragraphs in Town Topics,
one of which is anonymous, but ap-
parently about the same man as the
other, and he was asked what con-
nection there was between them. Az
ter the witness had replied that he
saw no connection, Mr.. Osborne, said:
"Then, it is in the inherent malice
of inanimate objects"
s'That Is it, matter of the galleys,"
was the reply.

Increase of 66 Per Gent
over Last Year: -.-

That southern ports are increasing
their importance as exporters Of
breadstuffs is shown in the latest is
sue of the Manufacturers Record
(Baltimorel, which says:
During the twelve months Of the
past calendar year, the value OF
breadstuff exports from this country
increased over that Of the preceding
year from s92,311,S12 to s146,110,s62,

to s50,049,696 in 1905, or by $20,034,.
179, equal to &C. per cent.
'tSix southern ports - Baltimore,
Newport News, Norfolk Portsmouth,
Galveston, Mobile and New Orleans
exported more than a third of the
+ total exports, and the increase in
value of their exports was more than
81 per cent Of the increase at all
ports.
"The trend of this traffic toward the
gulf ports increasing now for a num-
Der of years is. destined to become
stronger still. The twelve months late
ly ended has seen the completion Of
new line of railroad down the val
ley Of the Mississippi after several
years of shrewd and diligent engl.

building a road that is soon destined
to enter New Orleans, while the Coz
tract was lately awarded for fifth
enterprise which will build links to
connect up several railroads for the
purpose Of making a New Orleans

is that of another large system to get

seems to be no more than lumber

under construction to give coal routes
to the coast. One Of these Is from

"Other roads are in prospect, and,
beside. one important line, in West

a road which through its intimate con.
nections will reach tide at Baltimore.
There is another traffic movement
which further efforts are being made

Although the track team representing
the United States swept everything be-

the mediocre quality Of the American
team; at least, mediocre in compar iSOn to
the team that American could have sent
had the games been held in the summer
months or in this country, when the col

clean sweep OF the American team was
due in large measure to the weakness
Of the opposing teams. Great Britain had
no good athletes outside Of McGough
Crabbe, Hawtrey and O'Connor, while the
teams from Greece Germany and the
other countries would be laughed at in
this country. The only records to be

America has now won all four Olympic
