SuNKEN CITIES.
Legends of Populous Towns That Rave
Been Swallowed Up by the Sea.

Along the shores of the German ocean,
as in other parts of the world, there are
legends of great and populous cities SWAT
lowed up by the sea. Sometimes these
legends are based upon facts, ana oc-
casionally not. A writer in the Scienti1c
American says: "The most striking of all
the legends is that dealing with the lost
Dutch town Of Stavoren at the entrance
of the Zuyder Zee. Here there lived a
rich and powerful lady, whose pride, cruel
ty and seliishness aroused the anger or
heaven. and caused the wicked and mis-
guided city to sink beneath the waves.
A small portion of the city (where the good
people lived) was saved, and its name sun
cleaves to the small town of Stavoren.
II is an indisputable fact that, in the thir-
teenth century, Stayoren was a wealthy
and powerful commercial city; however,
due partly to the ports becoming choked
with sand. and partly to the irruption OF
the Zuyder Zee in 1277, 1t rapidly lost its
importance, and at the present time what
is left of it affords shelter to only about
500 souls. The roofs and spires OF the now
submarine buildings can, it is said, be
often seen far down in the depths when
the sea is still and the weather is clear,
while silent listeners on Christmas eve
church bells arising from the depths, only
to break in bubbles and ripples on the
surface OF the Zuyder Zee.
Disaster befel the small hamlet Of
Tiefengruben about thirty years ago; This
was a pretty little village, situated near
Kranichfeld in Thuringia, IN
the centre there Was u biltdiis h.HoNSh
looking pond, upon which the good people
used to keep their ducks and other water
oving fowl. One stormy day., why ana
wherefore heaven only knows, the village
went down, and its place was taken by a
large lake. which still marks the site or
the Inflated village. The benighted peas
ant, returning home after. a hard days
work telling timber in the forest surrounds
ing Kranichfeld, often seesS ~ulcanny-look-
ing lights fitting about over the marshy
ground. and mutters q prayer for the rest
Of the troubled spirits whorhe thinks
lights are merely lgnited marsh gases or
will o. the wisps.
MANY other towns have disappeared, due
to {, landslides. avalanches and the like,
which have hurled them into lakes and in
land seas. Local legends say that huge
devil fish live in these lakes. and it is
their movements which cause the towns to
slim down and hurI their contents into the
depths. where the monster can then glut
his nav ON mangled flesh n blood. Since
the eleventh century Old Hans as the
PHYSICIANS call the North Sea, has devastated
no less than la towns and villages, either
bv swallowing them up entirely or else by
burying them under heaps Of sand"

ELEPHANTS ATTACK.
One of the Inconvenience of Farming
in Central Africa.

IN Central Africa.
The Rev. Mr.. Grantham, in charge of
the Wesleyan Mission at Lomagundi, sends
particulars of a raid made by a herd of
elephants. which resulted in the loss of
life. to the Rhodesla Herald.
He SAYS: II shall be glad if you will
make known through the medium of your
pape the following incident and my COM
ments on 1t in the hope that public senti-
ment may be aroused against a condition
of things in which many suffer for the
sake of a fad Of a few who share none of
the misery that their hobby inficts upon
others. In May last the native gardens on
this farm suffered serious damage from the
inCursion of a troop of elephants that Wis
tied us seven nights in succession. In this
respect we are not the only sufferers, for
l am constantly hearing of the same kind
Of thing throughout the neighborhood. We
have no lawful means of protecting our
crops, dnd applications for damages are
ignored.
''On Friday morning two old natives
and a picannin, who had been sleeping In
a skerm erected in the lands, awoke to
find that ten full-grown elephants and
three calves were within a few yards of
where they lay. The natives fled In ter
ror, pursued by one Of the beasts which
was apparently enraged at the sight of
human beings in such close proximity TO
the calves. The picannin was just on the
point of being tusked, but saved himself
by rushing on hands and knees through
tIt DIanCdAcS VI d ldileu tree. lhS. SiSphaAt
tossed these aside, and continued in pur-
suit of the old men. One escaped. but
the other was overtaken in about 100
yards, and the vicious beast transtixed
him through the back, the protruding tush
ploughing deeply into the soil. q -.
The furious animal then proceeded toarip
Its victim to pieces, splitting one leg from
buttock to calf and an .irl> ff,a,f shoulder
to wrist. be Just lived long enough ia
urge his friend to fly back to the kraal OF
no one would be left to tell the tale.
w are told that In strict self-defepse
they may be fired upon. Are we then te
wait until one of the brutes Is in the act oil
charging upon us ere we pull "A hasty trig-
ger, which Is more likely than not to be
our last? And what Is the use of firing al
one angry elephant when several others are
standing by ready to take IN the cause Of
their companion IL 1t does fall?
1T is popularity supposed that elephants
will not attack a human being unless they
are molested by him, out they will in
variably do so Il the herd contains any
calves. A price is set upon the heads G
lions-beasts that rarely initiate an at
tack upon human beings and whose dep
relations are generally confined to cattl'
kraals n spans Of donkeys. Why. then
should elephants. which in this distric
are a much greater scourge than lions, b.
protected and the killing of one be
criminal offense2'

FORGOT ABOUT AUTO
LlEBENSTEIN'S MEMORY
FAULTY AT HEARING.
President of Berkowitz Tailoring Co.
Couldn't Remember Circumstances
of Machines Purchase.

During his examination yesterday at
the bankruptcy hearing before Referee
Edwin G.. Adams, Samuel Liebstein,
president of the B~erkowitz Tailoring
Company, successors to Leon NJ. Berk-
owitz, bankrupt, was questioned as to
his movements on the day the company
was Incorporated, and also regarding
the purchase of an automobile a few
days after the new company was
formed. His memory regarding what
happened on Tune 90, the day the COM
pany was formed, was faulty.
Asked to outline his movements on June
20, the day the company was formed, wit
ness replied:
II don't remember anything about
Jun 90"
You don't know what you did that
day?'

After some questioning and an insinua-
ton by MI. Cohen that witness might
make himself liable for perjury if he
claimed not to remember, when, as a mat
ter of fact, he did know what had trans
pired, witness recalled some OF the pro-
ceedings Of the day.
After drawing a check for the 81, 500,
which was paid to Berkow1tz for the bust
ness, the eheckhoox showed that a check
was drawn TO the order of j. w. Mason
for $500.
"Wha was that for?" asked Mr.. Cohen.
For an automobile" replied witness.

that it could purchase an automobile?"

N. Y. CROOKS MAY HAVE
BEEN IN HARRISON.
Arrest Of Tim" Hogan and "Dutch"
Palmer in That City May Clear
Harrison Thefts.

Tim Hogan and Dutch Palmer, who
are said by detectives to be two OF the
most daring burglars In America. were ar
rested last night In New York while do"
ing a job" and by their arrest may be
cleared up the mystery OF the identity Of
the perpetrators of the many robberies In
Harrison recently.
These were the alleged thieves referred
to in a story published In the EVENING
STAR last week, when II told Of Hogan
and Palmer being trailed in Harrison
early Sunday morning, october IL. by
three Pinkerton detectives, and all trace OF
the men was lost on Warren street, that
town. Within the next t~wsnty-four hours
the home of Mrs. Lucy Beach, in South
Fifth street, that town, was entered ana
silverware and other articles taken. Many
saloons nave also been burglarized in Har-
rison recently and it Is a coincidence that
Hogan and Palmer were caught last nlgnt
in New York while robbing a saloon.
Their method of entry last night was
similar to all the saloons entered in Har-
rison, In the fact hat a window was pried
open after breaking the glass. In Hosan's
room, after he arrest, were found guam
titles of jewelry and silverware and it Is
that the Harrison authofltles
will examine the loot to see If any was
taken from Harrison.

NICOLLS TO SPREAD
DEMOCRATIC CLUB TO URGE
IMPROVEMENTS.
To Take Active Part in Civic Affairs
and Will Try to Establish Per-
manent Headquarters.

An important meeting of the William
G. Nicoll Association will be held at
Semel's Hall, Prince and Montgomery
streets, tonight when former Sheriff
William c. Nicoll will be on hand, and
Frank S. kKatzenbach, the Democratic
candidate, may pay a. flying trip to the
headquarters. The committee arrang-
ing for the monste reception which
will he held at the Kruger Auditorium
Monday night will make a report, mi
another committee will likely be APP
pointed to secure permanent headquar-
tiers.
1t is the intention of the association
to continue throughout the year and
fight for various Improvements in the
Third Ward, and lake an active part in
all public affairs regardless of politics.
If it can be arranged rooms will be
used al a reading room, card room,
and another for a reception parlor will
be leased for aperiod of years.
An executive committee, consisting
of prominent Democrats of the ward,
will be named, and it will be the duty
of the committee to KEEP in touch with
its ward officials. The committee will
also aid in keeping the ward clear of
questionable characters. The ward
leaders believe that close to 1000 votes
will be cast at the coming election.
Among the improvements the asso-
citation will demand are a bathing
house, a larger playground for the pu-
pills of the Monmouth Street Public
School, a recreation centre and full
day sessions for school children instead
of halliday sessions, as at present.
The association expects to have the sup
port of a number of large real estate
owners, and prominent professional and
business men of both parties.

GRAND CANYON.

"By all odds the most beautiful scene
on the North American Continent is the
Grand Canyon Of the Colorado, In Ari-
zona,'' said Tobias j. Lindley, a physi-
clan of Phoenix. Ariz., to a representa-
tive of the Washington Post.
$50 fascinating has this scene been to
me- he continued, that during the past
few years l have often spent several days,
and even weeks, there. Travellers take
the main line Of the Santa Fe n change
to a little line that runs to Williams,
Ariz. Those desiring to go into the can
yon usually join a mule party and spend
about three days there, carrying provi-
sions with them.
81 have no words, and / do not believe
any man has, to describe the sublimity
OF the spectacle that meets the eye when
one first gazes upon the canyon There is
a little ridge with a path leading up to It,
along which travellers 60 when they first
gaze upon this sight. Ofteutimes excur-
sion parties go there. and it Is interesting
to note how the picture affects each one
OF the party as he reaches the top Of that
ridge. With most of them there is a pro-
longed exclamation of "Ah-h-h!' and then,
when they all get there and drink in the
scene, the silence for a moment is prqf
found. I have seen some of them aGfhaly
cry. 1t Is like looking into soF6e prom

BOOKS
SHOW WHERE
Cash WENT
Say Bankrupt Drew SS4,O5O
From Business For
Personal Use.

At the adjourned hearing in the
bankruptcy proceedings of Simon Hey
man, dry goods merchant, who has al
ready started negotiations to reopen q
dry goods store in this city, before
Referee Edwin G.. Adams, in the Fed
eral building this morning, 1t was dis
covered that during the months OF
February, March, April and June. 1907,
Heyman drew $34,s50 from the business,
which, the creditors allege, was used
by the bankrupt for personal matters
The books also show that during Ma
and June last the sum Of 1880 was
paid to the b%ankrupt's daughter. Mrs
A. Rosenblume, on account of the notes
she is alleged to nave received as Sc
curity for a cash loan made in 1sas
and on which the bankrupt at the last
examination testified he had made 10
payments whatsoever.
The hearing was by far the most I'M
portant held, and much testimony tha@
in the main conf1icted with previous
testimony was brought out during the
examination, which was conducted or
Jacob l.. Newman, one of the couns@
for the creditors. of which there ars
several hundred.
Charles Fleuschsau, bookkeeper fer
the bankrupt. was the first wltneSS
| The books of the concern had been
produced by George r. Beech, OF SsT-
sey City, counsel for the trustee, ana
during the last week the half score OF
so lawyers for the creditors had c&n
given an opportunity of examining
them. Fleuschsau was asked 10 point
out the entries, showing the money
paid to Heyman, and it was SHOWN
that during the month of February Ne
drew from the business S4,450; in April
the amount charged against Heymaa
was $21, 900; in March it was $3.50, and
in May 1t was 81 $50. In June the bank
rupt drew S 1880. There was nothing /
the books to show what had been done
with this money, but when Heyman
was examined in the matter he said
that he had used 1t to pay some OF the
creditors of the business. He asserted
that the money was properly invested
In April. it was learned, the bank
rupt sold some of his real estate, real
izing $25, 900 from the sale. There 5
nothing to show what was done with
this money, except an entry OF slf,-
121.51 deposited with a local bank, bu.
the checkbook of this ban has not
peer produced to show how this money
was expended. This was the month in
which Heyman is charged with $4,000.
The deposit entry showing where this
money was deposited does not appear
in the cash book, according to the
testimony brought out by Mr. New
man.
At the last hearing IN effort was
made to subpoena Mrs. Rosenblume,
the b~ankrupt's daughter, but she could
not be found. Mr.. Newman informed
the referee that he had sent a process
server to the house several times and
that he had been informed that the
woman had gone to Rhode Island, to
join her husband, who is now m
ployed there.
During the examination 1t was also
shown that aside from the private
ledger and the checkbook a notebook
and numerous minor books kept by the
bankrupt have not been located. A
small case filled with checkbooks, said
to nave been packed and turned over
to the receiver, is missing.

JERSEY CITY, Oct. 25.-Maurice Pc
t~rosino, the young Italian confined in
the Hudson County jail charged with
shooting William J.. Murphy, on Pa
vonia avenue, Jersey City, Wednesday
night, will, it is thought today, be tried
in Quarter Sessions.
Petrosino, while deliberate in COM
hitting the murder of the young RE
Railroad clerk, fought like a mailman
when bystanders gave him into the
hands of the police.
Petrosino is left entirely to himself,
and while he speaks English well he
makes no attempt to with the
other prisoners. With his artificial leg
he passes up and down in his little
cage with dropping head, dull eyed and
without a word for his keepers when
ever they come near him. He has made
no explanation of his act to the jail
attaches. He has secured James d.
Manning and Patrick Dooley as his
counsel, and they have had a long con-
ference.
