WIPES OUT $4,000, 900 DEBT.
Chicagoan Pays Obligations Incurred
in Pork Corner.

Chicago, July 26.-Edward w
Bailey, who fourteen years ago in the
famous pork corner lost $4,000, 900,
recently mailed out checks for $50, 900,
thus wiping out the last cent of in
debtedness. He has not much money
left, but faces the world with clean
hands.
Under the rules of the game, he
could have gone into bankruptcy, or
gone broke" and either method
would have cancelled the obligations in
the eyes of the law. But Mr.. Bailey
TOOK a different view of things. He
owed certain men certain amounts of
money and the repayment of these
sums was his constant care, night and
day.
The crash in pork, which carried
down many fortunes, came August 1,
1853 Cudahy failed for S6,00O,0OO,
ana many of the lesser fry went un-
der, never to emerge again.
On the last day of July pork closed
at S19 the barrel. At the tap of the
gong the next day it opened at $1S.75,
and the rout was on. Cudahy was
carrying 100000 tierces of lard and
made frantic efforts to borrow $780,
OOO to stem the tide. but bankers were
cautious
When it became known Cudahy
would be forced to unload, panic en-
sued.

PUT OUT ITS OWN FIRE.
Queer Prank Played by Lightning at
Augusta, Georgia.

Augusta, Ga. July 26.-The storm
which swept over Augusta last night
did much damage to property and in
calculable damage to fruit and shade
trees. It also played some queer
pranks. One bolt of lightning which
set fire to the cotton in the card rooms
in the Augusta cotton factory was fol-
lowed by another which turned on the
automatic sprinkler system, quickly
extinguishing the fire by flooding all
parts of the building.
Large quantities of manufactured
goods were ruined and the damage to
machinery will be very heavy. Tele-
graph, electric lighting and street car
companies suffered heavily and sewers
and drains were greatly damaged by
the flood of water.

1t is hard to estimate Mr.. Crocker's
stamp holdings, but it is safe to say
that their value is not far short of
$3.50, 900. In the big fire last year in
San Francisco he lost 100000 worth
of stamps which he had temporarily
removed from the safe deposit vaults
to his office, although the remainder
of his collection escaped, including the
rare Hawaiian stamps.
Mr.. Crocker's stamps Include many
of the Hawaiian plain border num-

them being the one and the two cent

OF the Guiana stamps Mr.. Duveen

FLOCK TO HEAR DELMAS
Great Crowd Listens to Argument in
Defense of Glass.

San Francisco, July 26.-Not a seat
within hearing remained vacant in the
auditorium of Temple Israel-Sherith to-
day when Dolphin NJ. Delmas began the
closing argument in defense of Vice
President and General Manager Louis
Glass of the Pacific States Telephone
and Telegraph company, whose trial
for bribery has been progressing for
two weeks before jury in Judge Law
lor's department of the superior court.
This is an Indictment, said Del
mas charging Louis NJ. Glass with the
crime of bribery alleged to have been
committed by giving to one Boxton the
1906 for the purpose of influencing his
action as a supervisor of this city and
the county in a matter then pending
before the board, the application OF the
Home Telephone company for a fran
chise to operate in this city. To this
charge he pleaded not guilty and the
Question of his guilt or innocence is the

to try.
what is the evidence here? What
is the proof of the commission of the
crime? The only proof that any money
was ever paid to DR.. Boxton is his own
unsupported testimony.
IF Roxton was bribed he is as much
guilty of the crime as is the man who
bribed him. That he was an accom-
plice If the crime was committed is
admitted by the prosecution. You have
them the sole testimony of a man who
tells you he sold himself over and over
again--a man whom the law stigmauzes
as unworthy of belief in himself and
whose testimony must be corrooorateo
by other and uncontaminated evidence
tending to connect the defendant with
the commission of the crime, before a
conviction can be had.

THREE new WARSHIPS.
Admiral Ijuin Discusses the Naval
Programme of Japan.

Paris, July 26.-Gil Bias publishes to-
day an interview with Vice Admiral
ljuin, commander of the Japanese
squadron now at Brest, on the japanese
navy. Asked if Japan had not decided
in view of recent happenings. to enlarge
ner program of naval construction the
vice admiral replied:
we have a naval program for several
years ahead and we shall execute it
punctually and vigorously, as do the
great nations OF Europe. But this -prO-
gram has not been enlarged of recent
months and it stands as it did when
originated by the admiralty last year.
Continuing, the vice admiral said it
was fnexact to declare that the japanese
loan would be used for the increase of
naval power and explained that this
money would be devoted to the con-
struction of railways and other COM
munication in Manchuria.
We are satisfied with the navy" Vice
Admiral Ijuin went on, land we believe
this branch will be able to cope with all
eventualities. The Japanese parliament.
while refusing nothing for national de-
Tense, holds us vigorously to the naval
appropriations and these we never ex-
coed. We are to build three warships
of the type of the Tsukuba, but more
powerful, and they are to. be constructed
in Japanese yards from material fur
nished by Japanese industries
Vice Admiral Ijuin knew nothing of
any intention on the part of Japan to
build warships for China.
I'VE are interested in all things con-
corning the grandeur and power of the
Asiatic race he said but UP to the
present time we have not had to concern
ourselves with the Chinese marine
China has not appealed to US and she
is not yet seriously interested in the re-
organization of her navy"
