DOUBLE CROSSED HIS TIPS C. A. DOUGLAS is APPOINTED
Edwin S. Holmes Dealings with
Brokers Described.
New Yorker TestifieS Former Gov
Information TO More Than One.

That former associate statistician Ed
win $ Holmes. jr., not only tipped of
advance information regarding govern
ment crop reports. but "double-crossed'
those 70 whom he sold the tips, was
alleged on the witness stand at his trial
yesterday by Louis r. Van Ripper. a New
York broker
Mr.. Van Fiper delivered his testimony
in almost inaudible tones, and Justice
Stafford admonished him a number Of
times 10 speak louder so that the jury
can hear you" The effect of Justice
Stafford's warning had little or no effect.
as Mr. Van Rlper's voice seemed just
as inaudible as before. He said he was
doing the best he could" and the court
let 1t go at that
According to the testimony Of Van
Riper. Holmes arranged to keep the
former posted as to the movements OF
Theodore II. Price. the cotton king" to
whom also. it was alleged Holmes had
been selling the government information.
Van Riper further testified that AT a con-
ference with Holmes at the Raleigh Hotel
in this city, the latter said he had cleared
$4,000 as a result of speculation on the
market. Van Riper testified that Holmes
exhibited a bulletin issued by the govern
ment. The bulletin. he said. related to
crop conditions, and Van Ripper said that
Holmes made up the figures and knew
what they would be some time in ad-
vance
Witness testified that Holmes said ne
had kept Theodore II. Price advised as to
forthcoming reports, but that he would
also furnish them to Van Riper through
Frederick A. Peckham, and would in ad-
dition advise him OF Prices movements.
An agreement was made between Holmes
and himself. the witness testified. BY it
Van Ripper was to come to Washington to
get the figures. At a later date, Van
Riper said he came to Washington and
got the figures on a general crop report
When he got back to New York he
bought wheat on the strength of the
figures, which proved to be almost ex-
actly correct. Van Riper identified sew
eral exhibits introduced by the govern
ment They were letters which had
passed from Holmes to Van Riper tipping
off 10 the latter the forthcoming reports
and notifying him of the operations of
Theodore II. Price, a cotton broker

A FAMOUS KEY.
It Was Thrown Into Loeb Leven When
Queen Mary Escaped.

It Was Thrown Into Loeb Leven When
Queen Mary Escaped.
The interesting key of Loeb Leven
castle is still in existence. It was
found in the lake and is supposed to
have been the one thrown In by the
young Douglas when Mary, queen Of
Scots, made her escape. The key was
originally in the possession of William
Hamper, Esq, who presented it to Sir
Walter Scott, having first had an en-
craving made of it.
The castle of Loeb Leven is situated
on an island of about two acres near
the northwest extremity of the lake.
Queen Mary when she dismissed Both
well on Carberry hill and Joined the
insurgents was carried captive into
Edinburgh and on the following day
committed to Loeb Leven CASTLE On
the 25th of March, 1868, she attempted
to escape thence in the disguise of a
laundress, but was frustrated.
On Monday, May 2, 1868, however,
while the family were at supper the
boy, William Douglas, secured the keys
Of the castle and gave egress to the
queen and her maid from the strong
hold; then, locking the gates behind
them to prevent pursuit, he placed the
fugitives in a boat that lay near at
hand and rowed them to the appointed
landing place on the north side Of the
lake.-Strand Magazine.

Turkey, Born In 1853, the Oldest Of the
Present Generation.
The ages Of most countries are re-
corded as exactly as that Of any in
dividual, and many Of the nations usu-
ally considered old, even ancient, were
really born long after those we call the
younger ones of the new world The
father of nations, as we know them,
is Turkey, with the sultan seated at
Constantinople since 1853.
Then comes Denmark, born in 1923,
followed by Russia, born Oct. %, 1721,
when Peter the Great became the first
emperor. The United States of Amer
lea, that most readers probably
thought very young, was born July 4,
1776, and France, possibly imagined
to be much older, counts from July
IA, 1850.
Younger than either is the United
Kingdom, born Jan. i, 1901 Chile
was born Sept. Is, 1910; Colombia on
July 5, 1911; Holland, Dec 6, 1913,
and Sweden starts from Feb. 5, 1918
Brazil dates from Sept 1922; Mex.
leo was born Oct 4, 1923, and Bolivia
was born Aug. 6, 1924 Belgium is
younger, being born July 10, 1881, the
same year as Ecuador and Venezuela
