TREATED FOR BRONCHITIS

New York, Nov. 6.-Ths Is the tale of
a nail which the Rev. Thomas II. Barag-
wanath, rector OF Grace Methodist Epis-
copal church. on 104th street near Amstor-
dam avenue, swallowed 16 months ago
and which he unswallowed last Sunday
night while trying to lead his congrega-
tion I'm prayer. The dominic was trying
to swallow a fish tale when he swallow
ed the nail.
He knew the nail was stuck i'm hin
windpipe. but more than score OF ply
sicians and specialists told him to for
get the nail and remember that he was
a victim OF a serious bronchial disease.
II Dr. Baragwanath were not a chart

SHARKS SWALLOW
TAFFRAIL LOGS

New York, Nov. 6-Capt Fisher of the
City of Savannah had an interesting story
to tell when the steamship arrived from
the Georgia port.
The loss OF several taffrail logs owing
to the insistency OF a school OF sharks
seemed OF paramount interest to the navi-
eating officers.
When Capt. Fisher piloted the ship
through the Savannah river and out, past
Tybee light. into the Atlantic. a new taft
rail was adjusted. The next day before
daylight log-taking operations were rude
ly interrupted by a shark who decided
that the sinker for the taffrail speedome-
ter looked good to him and took nfbble.
Another line was arranged and all went
merrily until afternoon
Cabin passengers. hanging over the
stern rail on the uper deck. were watch
ing the antics OF n school OF porpoises
when somebody shouted:
See the sharks
Skipper Fisher is not unduly excited by
anything. and certainly not by measly
shark. but the cry OF shark at this time
whispered OF another log.
Surely enough. an hour later snap went
the second log line and a third was put In
place This line lasted until the next af-
ternoon when IT, too, went by default e-s
possibly into the interior department OF
one OF the trailing sharks.
"They were the hungriest sharks j ever
met with" commented Capt. Fisher. "Mr.
Mitchell, our chief steward. threw some
stuff over the side in the hope of appeas-
ing the appetites OF the big fish, but there
was nothing doing for them 'ceptng taft
rail logs"

BAKERS WILL,
DATED FEB. !,
IS UNEhRTHED

Boston, Nov 6.--Natalie Hurd, the four
year-old daughter OF the man in whose
home Walter +. Baker died two nephews
OF the deceased, and Harvard universities
are the chief benehciaries by the provi-
sions OF the last will drawn by the young
man who died mysteriously In Bogota
n. j.. on the morning OF oct. q. IL the
value of the estate reaches the figures
named by Frank n. Nay. a trustee OF
part OF the property. Natalie Hurd and
Harvard will get about 100000 each and
the nephews about $50, 900 each
The will is brief, Is dated February Z,
1907, and Is written I'm Walter Baker $
hand. Evidently Is was drafted during one
OF his visits to Boston.
The bequests are $4,000 to Helen Bray
Hurd, wife OF Frank H. Hurd of Bogota.
n. j.: $40 900 TO Edward +. Baker OF Bos-
ton. the testator's brother: one-third Of
the residue to his two nephews. sons of
Edward +. Baker, a second third TO Ma
talie Hurd and the last to Harvard.
In discussing the value OF the estate
left by Walter Baker Mr. Nay has placed
IL at $500. 600 or a trihe over. provided the
young man had not disposed of securities
which formed part of an investment OF
5000 over which he had absolute con-
troll There Is certain TO be fully $500. 900.
for most OF that sum is invested In mort
cages which are in the custody OF the
trustees under the mothers will, of whom
Frank n. Nay is one.
The existence of the will and its terms
were admitted today by Mr.. Nay. after
his frutless search for a second and moro
recent testament under the suspicion that
Mr.. Baker had reconsidered and had left
the bulk OF his fortune 10 the Hurds in
stead of dividing 1t among the girls, his
two nephews and the college from which
he received his degree. In explanation of
the previous disinclination to make public
the fact OF this will, IL was stated that in
vestigations in New York justified the
belief that the document was only a pro-
visional affair subject to amendments
made later
The will was deposited with some Sc
curities which Waiter +. Baker kept in
Boston.

OTHER SUGGESTIONS.
Several attorneys. including Louis l..

Rathbone Gardner, representing about 80
depositors, said his clients did not care TO
embarrass the company. Charles f. Cor
man said he represented depostors who
had deposits OF about 100000 and he took
the same views of the best thing to do
that Mr.. Gardner did. He favored Mr.
Scott as one of the temporary receivers.
John s. Murdock declared that certain
statements had been made concerning
transactions o fthe company that were
not of an agreeable nature. He thought
these statements should be denied.
BEST PLAN FOR ALL.
Presiding Justice SHETLAND thereupon
decided that the best plan for all con-
cerned was 10 continue the matter or ap-
pointing a permanent receiver. He stated
that at the same time Il was best to have
additional receivers who would represent
the depositors and also proper that these
temporary receivers should file full and
exact account of the conditions of the
Union Trust company previous to the
time set for the appointment OF perma-
nent receiver II was then announced that
the matter OF appointing a permanent re-

The Democrats gathered around the
News Democrat bulletin board. where the
latest returns were posted from o'clock

AS the returns from the districts came
in, the spirits OF the crowd, which had at
first been depressed. began TO rise, and
when the announcement was made that
the senate was safe and that the house
looked all right. smiles were exchanged
all around.
They received a severe Jolt, however
when the news came that Sam Allen had
been defeated in East Greenwich. They
could not believe the report at first and
II was only after corroborative informa-
ton was obtained that his defeat was ac-
cepted.
The crowd thinned out about II o'clock
In Music hall large and enthusiastic
crowd gathered. James A. Williams, pre-
sided and band furnished music.
There was loud and unstinted applause
as the returns came in indicating a Demo-
cratic victory. The demonstration of the
evening occurred, however. when Mr.. Will
liams announced that Samuel w. h. Allen
had been defeated by 50 votes in East
Greenwich.
In the board Of trade the returns were
also received and fair number of men,
bers gathered TO hear them.
Business was quiet in the office OF the

Bis LIQUOR
FRAUDS FOuiD
N THE SOUTH

Washington, Nov. 6.-Investigations
which have been instituted by Internal
Revenue Commissioner John G. Capers
of the treasury department, indicate
that the government rs being defrauded
OF s1.000.000 annually by dishonest dis
tillers In the South. IT is estimated
that not more than 75 per cent OF the
liquor distilled in Virginia has paid a
revenue tax, and the investigation also
indicates frauds in other Southern
states.
More runs have been made in the
stills than the government permits dur
ing specified time and double MASKING
has been resorted TO in many cases. IL
any internal revenue office employees
are found TO be implicated. they will
be promptly prosecuted, and the inves-
tigatton has been extended to their
work as well as TO the practice OF the
distillers. Commissioner Capers, speak
ing or the fraud. said today:
Il am confident from data now at
hand that we have lost about 81, ,000, 900
In Virginia alone. and that 25 per cent
or the whiskey now being distilled in
that stateis revenue free owing to the
trickery OF certain distillers.
This condition was partly brought
about by the North Carolina law, which
drove from that state all distilleries
situated In towns of less than 10000
people. Instead of going out OF bust
ness the distillers moved over the line
into Virginia. We have already seized
-FOUR or hve OF the smaller ones"
