land and some of the northern European

land and some of the northern European
traffic.
The great tide of American tourists de-
sired fiexibility Of routes. permitting them
to arrive and depart at or from the conti-
nent as well as from England, which In
creased the disadvantages of Liverpool.
The White Stars removal, therefore, chal-
lenges foreign control of the continental
traffic, and it is generally considered to be
preliminary to similar action on the part Of
other British lines, particularly the Cunard
Line, as ii is pointed out that the huge
Cunard turbine steamers need continental
as well as British traffic. Inquiry at the
Cunard offices last evening brought the re-
ply that, though no immediate changes
were expected the directors of the COM
pany have had the matter under considera-
ton for long time, and that 1t is simply
a question of time when the line will avail
itself of the facilities offered by channel
ports it being indisputable that, for con-
tinental first-class traffic, those ports pos
sess advantages against which Liverpool
is unable to compete.
There was an unconfirmed rumor in
Liverpool last night that two other lines
contemplated transferring some of their
steamers to other ports.
This movement also Is likely to exert con-
siderable influence upon the maritime i'm
portance of Liverpool and Southampton.
In shipping circles there is no doubt that
Liverpool will maintain it's supremacy as
the chief Atlantic port, but the tendency IS
steadily in favor of ports on the English
channel, owing to their proximity to the
continent Southampton already is pre-
pairing to make heavy expenditures, includ-
ing the construction of docks capable of re-
ceiving the largest liners during any stage
of the tide.
Another feature of the proposed change
which is arousing strong feeling is the eff
feet on the arrival of the American mails
1t is contended that the mails will be
greatly delayed by the adoption of the
Southampton route. At the monthly meet
ing of the urban council of Queenstown
held yesterday this aspect of the change
was strongly criticised, and it was pointed
out that to send the mails to Southampton
would Inconvenience two-thirds of the bust
ness people of England and the whole of
Scotland and Ireland. Mails landed at
Queenstown are constantly being delivered
in the midland and northern sections of
England and all over Scotland and Ireland
before the mails shipped from New York
for Southampton on the same day, and by
especially fast vessels, are even disembark-
ed al Southampton. committee of the
council was appointed to consider the
whole matter. and this committee will CO.
operate with other public bodies in the
united kingdom whose interests are affect
ed by the proposed changes.

HOT IN BALTIMORE.
Fans in Demand and the. Soda Foun-
tains Got Busy.

tains Got Busy.
BALTIMORE, January Son the fourth
day of the present warm spell Baltimore
sweltered. Yesterday broke the record, and
all previous marks at the weather bureau
went smash at $3.50 pm, when the maxi
mum of the day-74 degrees-was attained.
There was a hatless-almost coatless-
procession the streets. Doors were
thrown open on the cars, and the days of
the old open trailer car, where smokers sat,
were remembered longingly. In the parks
those who went for their daily constitu-
tional sat about in the shade instead, and
downtown the shady side of the street was
favored. The soda-water signs appeared as
if by magic, and the large. rotund citizen
who goes along such days with his hat in
one. hand and a large handkerchief in the
other, was seen on every street.
All in all, it was a REMARKABLE bit of
weather. There were nd pPostrations re-
ported strange to say, but authorities ex-
pected some. Residents gf the suburbs sat
on the porches and enjoyed the sunshine
and fans were used VIXEN found.
When the sun came up there was a bit
of fog to dfSpel, but after this passed away
'Old Sol' got busy in earnest. BY leaps
and bounds the mercury assembled, and the
man in the street crossed over just to see
how badly he'd feel after a view at the
trio fan such times as these got in breeze
If he could. Some even went and bought a
drink, and those thirst-quenchers with the
hot-wave names went better. The humidity
made it almost necessary.
At noon the man with that time honored
query-but what's the use to repeat it?-was
in his heydey. AS usual in such spells, the
warmest hours were those from noon to
3 30 pm, and the record breaker was no
exception. 1t was time of discomfort
really and truly.

BRIBE VANISHED.
Witness Testifies to Flim-Flam Game
in Graft Scandal.

PITTSBURG. January Sensational tes-
timony was given yesterday in the $4,000
graft scandal In connection with the or
Hinance to give the Pittsburg and Tube City
Asailroad Company an entrance into Pitts
0urg when William NJ. Martin. a member OF
She common council was put on trial in the
criminal court charged with soliciting a
bride for the passage of the ordinance.
Among the witnesses were ]. III. Mihol-
land, a civil engineer for the railroad COM
pany; C. b. Richardson, broker, and c.
s. Cameron. president of the Pittsburg and
Tube City Railroad Company, who are also
implicated in the graft scandal charge"
Milholand testified that he had placed a
100000 certified check in safe deposit box
which was to have been given to Martin
and was told by President c. S. Cameron In
Martins presence that the alleged bride
money was increased from 10000 to $4,000
to get sufficient votes to pass the Tube City
ordinance over the mayors veto.
Milholland also testified that $4,000 in
cash was subsequently placed In safety de-
post boxes, first at the Colonial Trust
Company and then at the Union Trust Com
pany for Martin. Milholand held the key
to one box and the key to the other box was
deposited in another safety deposit box at
the Farmers Deposit National Bank.
He also swore that Martin ordered him
to deliver the keys of a safe deposit box
back to Cameron. remarking as he did so
that he had been trimmed again, for the
money not there"
c. r. Richardson, the broker told of the
mysterious disappearance of the $4,000
which he had loaned President Cameron
and of Councilman Martins refusal to be
searched for the money when it disappeared
and was subsequently, found by a detective
agency, which received $4,000 for its recov-
cry.
According TO Richardson the scheme of
fooiing Martin was worked in his very pres
ence by means of two envelopes one con-
tanning the money and the other identicaly
similar on the outside, but which did not
contain the money.

gle suggested with undisgu!sed eagerness.
I'm coming to that. After my interview
with my wife 1 sat in the hall trying to pull
myself together. Presently | saw her lady
ship come down and go to the office. Those
diamonds had been deposited In the hotel
safe for obvious reasons. My wife came out
of the Office presently with the case In her
hand Then recognized what had happen
ed. She was afraid of some move of
mine, and she was going to deposit the
stones elsewhere. 1t did not take me long
to make up my mind where she was going.
She was about to take the plunder TO Hill
ton in Bond street"
How long ago. the woman called Cora
asked eagerly. This is important"
'Well, not more than an hour, anyway"
Richford replied. why do you ask?'
Because Hilton closes at 81 the woman
said II know that, because the firm has
done several little jobs for me lately. You
may be pretty sure that your wife did not
deposit those stones at Hllton's today;
therefore she still has them in her pocket
That being SO, what we have to do now is
to discover where she has gore. If you
like I'll go round to the Royal Palace Ho-
tel at once and see If she has returned. I'll
ask the clerk in the office, and If he says
she has returned you may safely bet that
those stones are back in the hotel safe
again. If she has not returned they are
still on her person"
ITS just well to make sure, Reggie
said reflectively.
The woman fitted away and came back
soon with a smile on her face.

has not returned to the hotel Now, Mr..
Richford. if you can only put us on the
track of the timid little hare, then"
Done with the grea test possible ease"
Richford replied. Shes gone to Wands-
worth. l can't make the thing out at all.
and in any case it does not in the least
matter. When l was waiting for my wife
just now l saw letter to her from Ber-
rngton-Col. Bennington. AS you know. he
is prisoner in Audley place. and why he
should have written that letter, or how
Sartoris persuaded the warrior to write it.
l don't know any more than Adam. But
that's where she has gone. If you can In
tercept her before she gets there, or waylay
her when she leaves, why there you are.
don't suppose my wife will tell Sartors that
she has all that stuff in her pocket"
DO you think that she took a cab?"
Reggie asked.
II should say not. Cabs cost money, and
Beatrice has not much of that. Wands-
worth Is not a place you can get to in ten
minutes, especially after the business trains
have ceased running for the evening; so
that If you took cab"
