ed TO return without his prisoner

to bring him TO trial.
on Saturday Sherin Linthicum re-
ceived word by telegraph from the po-
lice authorities of Jersey City that
MeCallen would return TO Annapolis
without a requisiuon, and consequent
ly Sherin Linthicum left Immediately
for that city, only TO have MoCallen
refuse absolutely TO return with him.
sheriff l4inthieum then secured a
requisition in the usual form based
upon the warrant sworn out here by
Parmenter and started Immediately
for Trenton TO secure the approval
of the Governor of New Jersey to the
requisition. It was claimed there
that the requisition was faulty ON ac-
count of not specifying the city and
county where McCalien was in Gus
tody.
In the meantime MCeallen mad been
given preliminary hearing in Jer-
sey city and had been released owing
to the fact that there was no evidence
of any charge being laid against him.
McCallen was represented at the hear
ing by counsel supposed 10 have been
engaged by his relatives ut Wilkens-
burg, Pa. McCallen's relatives are
also making strong efforts TO secure

Attorney NJ. l.. Thompson, of Pitts
burg has been here since yesterday.
Mr.. Thompson has had interviews
with States Attorney Green, sheriff
Linthicum and Chief OF Police Hahn.

check for $50, drawn on a Kansas
bank and cashed at the Farmers Ma
tional Bank Of this city.
1t has leaked out here that candi
date for the Naval Academy at the re-
cent examinations secured number
of tainted dollars by selling bogus
examination papers, alleged to contain
the questions which were To be asked
Mt the recent examination for admis-
sion to the Academy, held under Civil
Service regulations. The questions
were typewritten and alleged TO have
been secured from a friend of the en-
terprising candidates who was an em-
ploye of the Government Printing
Office. II is understood that number
Of copies were disposed Of at the sum
Of 50 per set. The copies were quito
worthless and turned out TO have boen
prepared from questions asked at en-
trance examinations in former years.
The candidate who worked the fake
did not pass his examinations and
has left Annapolis.

Facts About the South

Is the title of a new book written by
the editor Of the Manufacturer S
Record. The whole story of Southern
material upbuilding, the romance of
the South's redemption from poverty
to prosperity since 1880, and the re-
sources of this section in coal, iron
and cotton and other wealth producing
factors, are more comprehensively
covered than ever before. The mater
ial prosperity OF the Old South before
1860, so little understood by the gen
eral public, is brought out very clear
ly as bearing upon the business en-
ergy of Southern people and as con-
vicning proof of natural advantages
which even before the war were
rapidly making the South the richest
part of the country. Just now, when
the business world is SO generally dis
cussing the great progress of the South,
the facts presented in this pamphlet
will merit attention.
