PERKINS SAYS NOT GUILTY.
Makes Sweeping Denial Of Charges
in Indictments.

NEW YORK, January TT am not
guilty of the offenses charged against me
by the indictments. / did not make the
entries in the books of the New York Life
Insurance Company specified in the in
dctments or any of them; nor was 1 in
any way concerned in the making of such
entrees nor did 1 aid and abet the making
of such entries; nor did I, directly or in
directly counsel, command, induce or pro-
cure any other person to make such en-
tries.
George w. Perkins. formerly vice presi-
dent Of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, made this sworn reply to the charges
that he had caused false entries to be
made in the company's books to conceal
the real nature of some Of its stock trans
actions. These charges form the basis of
the six indictments of forgery In the
third degree handed down against him
and Charles S. Fairchild a week ago Fri
day. 1t is the first reply Mr.. Perkins has
made to the accusations.
His answer accompanies notice from
| his attorney that he would move for per-
| mission to inspect the minutes of the grand
| jury which indicted him.
| Mr. Perkins says there was no evidence
| before the grand jury to show that the
particular entries were fraudulent or that
| the stocks of the Chicago and Northwest
ern road and the Chicago. Milwaukee and
| st. Paul were not sold by the company,
| as the entries indicate.

ellis, today filed with the register of
wills of Montgomery county, at Norristown,

law.

daughter, the will bequeaths $4,000 ''as a
mark of my regard and to w. Plunkett

RAISULI RUNS AWAY.
His Stronghold is Destroyed by the
Troops of the Sultan.

TANGIER. Morocco, January 7-Zinat,
Raisuli's stronghold, was virtually destroy
ed by fire and fell into the hands OF the
troops of the sultan at noon yesterday
after a short and almost bloodless fight.
Raisuli and his 100 followers succeeded
in eluding capture and reaching the noun
tains, despite the elaborate plans OF war
Minister Gabbas to prevent their escape.
No firing took place Saturday night but
at 10 am Saturday the artillery, under
command Of an Algerian native lieutenant,
whom the French authorities permitted to
participate in the battle on request Of war
Minister Gabbas, opened on the town. The
Moorish gunners showed utter incapacity in
handling their guns and the infantry nred
hanhazard Two shells dropped inside
the fastness without reply, and thereupon
a body Of the sultan's troops charged
shcutfng and reached the walls amid des-
ultory shots from the surrouhoihs orush;
The gates to the town were found to be
omen but there were no occupants or the
place except fifteen prisoners, among
whom were four Portuguese.
A detachment of the government troops
continued firing in the direction of the
mountains, where Raisuli and his followers
were observed fleeing.
Meanwhile the other government troops
piilaged the stronghold, securing consider
able booty in the shape of costly carpets
arms cattle and sheep.
No fatalities in the fighting yesterday are
reported though a few persons on both
sides were wounded. 1t is thought probable
that the Raisulites carried of their dead.
Minister OF War Gabbas. who has not left
Tangier during the operations, it is expect
ed will next move against the pretender
to the throne, Mulai Mohammed, a brother
of the sultan, from whose followers there
have been many defections recently.
The Spanish officers of the international
police created by the Algeciras convention
have arrived here and will take up their
duties at the end of the month.

The Habit of Profanity.
, the Philadelphia Ledger


The common use of profanity is shock
ing not only to the sense of reverence,
which to some extent is common heritage,
but TO the sense of refinement. 1t is posi-
BILE to hear in public places. along the
streets and In the cars language that Is
unfit for use anywhere, that is disgust
ing or distressing, according to the mental
construction of the unwilling nearer. En-
ployment of an oath under stress Of cir
cumstances may be understood. 1t repre-
sents the effort. perhaps involuntary, at
emphatic expression. 1t may be the per-
son from whose lips 1t comes does not
realize that he is swearing. The more OBJ
tectionable form of this indulgence is that
which interlards conversation with disfig-
uring and wholly silly and irrelevant ex-
pletives.
1t is needless for those addicted to the
practice to assert that they cannot correct
themselves There are many whose ordi-
nary talk when among men is but line
on which to hang a string of oaths, and
vet who, knowing themselves to be in the
presence of a woman. never would De
guilty of such conduct. They would, In
parlor as a family guest, feel no more i'm
pulse to swear than to put their feet on
the table Thus, to bring about reform
would require nothing but recognition or
the decent respect due to men as Well as
TO women. OF the loafers who cumber the
corners and by talk designed to be widely
audible insult everybody near them, no
voluntary reformation is to be expected
However, IL the individuals who, with rea-
sons generally good, regard themselves as
gentlemen, were to abandon the habit OF
swearing they would do much to promote
the moral average and save an often in
dignant public from having Its ears as
sailed.

TWICE REPORTED DEAD
CURIOUS RUMORS ABOUT A STU
DENT AT TRINITY.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARTFORD, Conn, January 1.-Marion
Stuart bravo, a student in the senior class
at Trinity College, has twice been an
nounced as dead within two years. Since
Mr.. bravo is somewhere between Hartford
and Pittsburg, returning from Christmas
vacation of two weeks spent at his home
in the steel city, it is impossible to learn
his sentiments regarding the obituary no
tice which appeared in the columns of the
Hartford Times on Saturday.
On May 20, 1905, a dispatch was printed
in several newspapers that Mr.. bravo had
died as result of injuries received in a
base ball game on the Trinity Athletic
Field played against the Syracuse Univer-
sity. bravo, who has caught on the Trinity
base ball team for two years, was injured
in the game with Syracuse and he was in
the Hartford Hospital for several days.
His recovery was rapid and complete. The
Auburn Daily Advertiser printed the fol-
lowing dispatch:
Word reached the team yesterday that
bravo, the Trinity catcher who was in
jured in the game with Syracuse on We'd
nesday, died that night. bravo received
hard blow in the head from a foul tip
from his own bat. He didn't appear to be
badly injured at first, but retired from the
game a little later and was helped by
friends to his lodgings. The Orange players
deeply deplore the accident and its sad
result"
The report that Mr.. bravo died at his
home in Pittsburg on Saturday morning
had not the slightest foundation. That he
has measles and other complications is
| emphatically denied
A reporter on the Times, which published
| the article on Saturday night, says that
| he was called up on the telephone about
2:3O pm. and informed by some one who
| did not give his name that word had just
| been received at Trinity College that Mr..
bravo was dead.
The staff member of the paper thought
| he was talking with the Trinity correspond
| ent. Last night messages of coincidence
| to Dravos parents brought back indignant
| responses and a denial that their son had
| ever been Ill.

PONCE MAY BE LOST
NO WORD FROM STEAMER, NOW A
WEEK OVERDUE.

NEW YORK, January There was no
direct word today from the missing steamer
Ponce, now a week overdue from San Juan,
Porto Rico.
Over the route which the Ponce was to
have travelled there reached port yesterday
three sailing ships, one of which had spoken
the Ponce and had asked that the Ponce
report her upon arrival. AS it turned out 1t
was the sailing vessel that reported the
Ponce
This the first news that had been received
of the New York and Puerto Rico Com
pany's overdue steamship, was brought in
by the Shenandoah, a Bath clipper of wide
renown. The vessel is from Port Townsend,
100 days out. Capt Chapman. her master,
told of his meeting with the Ponce.
1T was on December %, at about IL
o'clock in the forenoon" he said that we
fell in with the Ponce. She was then in lat
itude q degrees 40 minutes north, longitude
50 degrees 4S minutes west.
Signaled Cali Well"
'It was good weather at the time, sea
smooth and light breeze from the north
ward. The Ponce signaled All we'll and We
made signal asking her to report us on her
arrival to which she signaled assent.
1--WE were close to the vessel, about a half
mile, 1 should judge. There was apparently
nothing wrong with the steamship then.
The weather which we had continued fine
until January 4, when we had a strong
breeze from the northward."
Although the Ponce signaled "All well''
to the Shenandoah, it is likely that some
thing had gone wrong with her even before
that time. She was then three days out from
Ponce, and the locality given shows that she
was only six hundred miles on her journey,
much less than half way, such schedule as
she had been able to maintain ranging from
five to six days for the entire journey.
