BROKER FAILED
Appleyard Who Created a Sen sation Yesterday By Selling
 United Gas Stock
WAS ONCE INDICTED

Philadelphia, June 13.--Announce- ment was made at the opening of the local stock exchange of the insolvency of A. E. Appleyard, one of its mem- bers. Appleyard created | sensation yesterday by selling many thousands of shares of the stock of the United Gas Improvement company, depress- ing the price nearly $4 shore He ad- mitted that these were short sales, and his extensive operations puzzled the local brokers. It is stated that he was unable to respond to calls for margins to-day, hence the anounce- ment of the failure.
 Boston, June l3,-A. A. AppIeyard, whose failure was announced in philadelphia to-day, formerly had offices. in this city, where he was known as promoter, interested chiefly in street railway properties in western New York and in Ohio The failure of the German bank of Buffalo, N. Y., about three years ago was followed ny the indict- ment of Appleyard. who it was al- legged has secured large sums from the bank in connection with his railway projects and his protracted fight against exradition was one of the strongest ever made at the state house.
 Gov W. L. Douglas granted ex- tradition papers in April, 1905 but Ap- pleyard carried the case through the state courts, and finally to the United States supreme court, which decided against him about year 1ater, and he was taken to Buffalo, where it is understood here, the case against him was ultimately settled out of court. Appleyard's offices here were given up about a year ago.

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE
Another Japanese Newspaper Urges the People to Protect
 Her Subjects in America.

Tokio, June 13.-The Mainichi, published at Osaka, with a circula- tion of 250,000, expressed anger yes terday at the reported recent attack on a Japanese horticulturist at Berkeley, Cal. It says:
 "The outrage demonstrates the impotency of the California authori- ties to protect our compatriots. Now is no time to rest assured on the stereotyped, diplomatic assurance from the Washington government. Only two weeks after positive declaration to take preventive meas ures to safeguard Japanese rights comes the Berkeley outrage.
 "The personality of President Roosevelt towers high among living great men and deserves full conf dence, but promises, however high sounding and reassuring, and the promise maker, however high in character, are of no value whatever If unaccompanied by deeds.
 "The powerlessness of the Cali fornia and the federal governments iB thus demonstrated and it only re- mains to take up the work of pro- lection in our own hands.
 That the outrages are limited to California occurrence is not suf- ficient explanation.
 Tokio, June 13.-The newspaper men of this city were summoned to appear before the home department to-day and were then officially ad- vised to abstain from the publication of any matter of an infiammatory or agitating nature upon the Ameri- can question.

The city aldermen at a meeting
last Thursday night decided to re-
ceive bids for the issuance of
$500. 900 in bonds which they pro-
pose to issue. This, then is notice
to those who contemplate asking
for an injunction to stop this issue
to act promptly. There are num-
erous good and sufficient reasons
why such a step should be taken.
There is no reason why the citizens
should allow this huge sum of
money to be wasted as has been
the case with former issues, when
there are ample grounds for a sue
cessful contest. Those of our
citizens, especially renters, who
live on streets that will not be i'm
proved will save money by lending
a hand in defeating this plot Of
the boss; and those who live in the
suburbs will also do we'll to take
a hand as it will not be many
years until the legislature will be
petitioned TO extend the corporate
limits and take them in for the
purpose of helping to pay for said
bonds, even though they have re-
ceived none of their benefits.

As for the new Jail proposed tor

AS for the new Jail proposed for
Salisbury we r not in sympathy
with it. The Jail we now have,
we believe, is amply sufficient for
our present reeds. We can i'll
afford to spend countless ,thous-
ands of dollars for q jail just now,
when the money is needed so much
for our schools. We believe the
erring and unfortunate criminals
should be we'll provided for, but
there is a work, that of giving the
young a good education, that
comes before this, and if properly
dealt with there will not be one
surplus cent. As for a special
tax, the tax is now almost beyond
the reach of the poor laboring
man.
1T is we'll and proper for the
citizens all over the county to
write their home paper their views
concerning needed and contemplate
ed improvements. They should
not hesitate to speak out their
sentiments fully, regardless of
consequences withoutfear or favor.
Such conduct is our only safe
guard against corruption. It is
not necessary for one to endorse
everything CoL Blinky-ker- Blink
says or does to be popular and re.
spected. One can be popular and
respected by being above toadyism
and because of his own virture
and merit. But Xerxes may be
ever so great a general, to be sue
cessful, he must prepare for war ir
times of peace. The new Jail If
about ready for prisoners. The
court house proposition, however
needs attention.
L. D. II. Brown, our splendid
blacksmith. is doing a thriving
business. He is an efficient black
smith and has been in this worl
ever since a boy.
