A CONFEDERATE VETERAN
NOW Millionaire In EurOpe-AIarvel.
Gus Story Concerning Him

London, July 17.-An unprece-
dented Judgment for $4,000, or
200, has Just been given by
a London law court in favor of Sonora
Conception Benitez de Beistegui, a
Spanish lady, against Frank Lacroix
Gardner, the Australian gold-mining
millionaire. The action was brought
to cause money loaned to be repaid.
According to the charge she loaned
the money between 1895 and 1903. 1t
was advanced in the form of cash and
securities and through the lady's
secretary, Mr.. Soberano, who Is chag-
ed with eonspiring with Mr.. Gardner
to defraud her. OF this money the
lady. through her counsel, asserted
that she had never received a cent.
She is 10 year sold.
Sonora de Beistegui is we'll known
in Paris society, where she has a
house in the Avenue des Champs
Elysees. She inherited her money
from her husbands father, who
amassed 1t in Mexican mines. When
her husband died, in 1890, she en-
ployed Soberano, who was then in
poor circumstances, as her secretary.
He 1t was who introduced her to Mr..
Gardner and shortly afterward the
transactions began.
The defendant in the case has had
a remarkable career. He was born
In one of the Southern States of Am
erica, and at the age of ii enlisted
as a drummer boy in the Confeder-
ate army. At the close of the civil
war he tramped hundreds of miles to
Philadelphia and was adopted by
medical man there. At the age of 10
ne secured a position in San Fran
cisco bank and laid the foundation of
his fortune. Having amassed $685.
600 by speculation only to lose it
again by gambling, he visited Aust
ralia, and after some years Of ill-luck
sold a gOld-mining claim for $50, 600.
Five years later he left Australia to
iuggle with the mining securities Of
that country on the exchanges of Lon
don and Paris. He has a prineely

GREAT STEAMSHIP BURNED.
Inc Allegheny Goes Up In Smoke
Just After Leaving Savannah,

Savannah, Ca, July l8.-rhe
steamship Allegheny. Capt. Freeman,
Merchants and Miners Transporta-
ton Company, bound for Philadelphia
from Savannah, was destroyed by FIRE
two miles OF Tybee island, at 10
O'Clock last night. All Of her thirty
two passengers and her crew we're
saved but the ship, her cargo and all
baggage on board, is a total loss.
Fire was discovered amidshIps
within two hours after the steamer
left her dock, the engineers, boiler
men and iremen being driven from
their work by a blast of smoke. In
this crippled condition the Allegheny
began to drift, her course being to-
ward the beach.
The first cry of fire sent several
excited passengers to the rails, and
the members of the crew prevented
number from jumping overheard
in a mad desire to leave the burning
vessel.
After the first few minutes order
was restored, and in the ships boats
and in boats sent out from Fort
Sereven, manned by soldiers, every
person was brought ashore.
Capt. Freeman and FIVE other Of
heers were the last to leave the Al
leghany and seemed to be coming
from a sheet of fame. All Of the
persons saved from the vessel we're
brought back to Savannah on a gov
ernment dredge, leaving the hull Of
the steamer still burning.
The ships gone: we saved moth
Ing" was Capt. Freeman's brief re-
port, as he led the way from the
dredge to the dock his vessel left a
few hours before. A few suit cases
scattered among the passengers re-
presented the total salvage.
The Allegheny was built at Cramps
shipyards, Philadelphia, in 1882. It
was one of the best known craft in
the coast service. She had a gross
tonnage of 2,O14, length Of ESQ
feet, breadth ss.5 and depth 1916.

TAXING RAILROADS

A good deal Of contention is being had in Washington and Montana over the raising of the taxation Of the rail reads ln those states, For long time the companies had been in the habit of return l552t6sir property at a Pittance of what It was worth. The rAihoad commissioners in those states looked Into the matter and increased the companies valuatiou. The companies fought the raise, but lost, and will no" subuI. to the pay ment Of their just pro- portion oi taxes. This is as 1t should be. The railroads, ss general thing drain the country Of its money aud there c.n be DO good reason for not making them pay as much taxes as the small storekeeper, at least that is the idea that is sweeping over the country sud it is a good sign.

STANDARD OIL APPEALS

The Standard oil company is hcod- fDg the country with a pamphlet tn which tue interests of the giant jugger- naut are defended; in the booklets are numerous trust editorials taken from papers belonging to the kerosene inter ssts throughout the country, After attempting to show that the general attack on the corporation, which is be- ing carried on all over the country, was Instigated by President Roosevelt, and that he had DO justi6able grounds fog beginning i,, lbe prefix says: "It is sincerely hoped that the editors who have hassily passed judgment on the company will examine the facts and reach just conclusions, The Standard oil merits the same consideration from the public wh!cn it has ever extended Co those who have stood in the way Of i. attaining its unlawful srds-whtcb is none.
 Like every other corporation the Standard oil paid DO attention to public condemnation until 1t was compelled to. For years it has violated the laws with impuni,y; controlled courts, bought legislatures and ruined infant industries by criminal counigance with railroads. Long years Of high handed practice made ir bold and ]. reckoned not that 1, was riding for 8 fall. The difference between the business of such piratlcsI combination, and lawful industrial pursuits IS as great as cheese IB from chalk. One obeys the law be- cause it is law abiding, the other be- cause it is forced to do so.
