Annual Session of American
Bar Association.

Portland, Ne, Aug. 2.-The annual con-
yention of the American Bar Association,
which viii be followed Immediately by
that Of the International Law Associa-
ton, began here this morning.
Alton B. Parker, of New York. former
Democratic candidate for President Of the
United States and president Of the Amer
lean Bar Association. opened the proceed
ings this morning with an address devoted
mainly TO a summary Of the noteworthy
changes in statutory law made by the
State and by Congress within the last
twelve months.
He argued that extreme caution should
be observed in bringing about any deHn-
itation of the rights of the States as ex-
pressly granted to them by the Constitu-
ton.
One Of the most important matters
which Will he considered al the meetings
Will be the report of the standing com
mittee on insurance law, to be presented
tomorrow morning Il Will be followed
by q lively and lengthy discussion This
committee has under consideration a bill
TO safeguard the interests of life insur-
anca companies and the policy-holders
In the course Of his address,. Mr.. Parker
said:
At a time when our prosperity seemed
greatest and our enjoyment Of the ma
terial things of life was most general.
suddenly the righteous wrath of the peo-
Pie became stirred. and justly stirred, by
the unwelcOne discovery that at least
some Of the large fortunes had not been
fairly gained Revelation followed revela-
ton in quick succession of transactions
in the domain OF high finance by which
a few had been enabled 10 add TO their

There was CONSERVATION for a time at
the State Department yesterday morn

and Acting Secretary Adee was not at his
desk. Ordinarily he is as regular as the

and the clerks set their watches by him.
Mr.. Adee was twenty minutes late. for
the first time in years. and explained
upon his arrival-a1though 1t was not
necessary for him TO explain to any one
that he had been indisposed.

attending to official business until long

There does not seem 10 be well-organ-
tied search going on to-day. Many OF
the campers are exhausted through their
efforts so find Miss Mcguire and the ex-
cursionists, of course, do not know the
country well enough 10 venture '7to the
woods
John Mcguire. father OF the missing
girl arrived here on the first train this
morning and scouts the theory that his
daughter was drowned. He believes that
she is lost ia the woods. and declares his
intention Of remaining here until she is
found. The girls cousin. Charles Ma
guire. who drove the buggy from which
the young woman was lost, has almost
completely broken down Ia health since
her disappearance. The elder Mcguire
says that his daughter has been q victim
% melancholy for FIVE years. and believes
that she WIS suffering from an attack Of
extreme nervousness on Saturday night.
See Miss Mcguire Leave Buggy.
The tracks Of the Jersey Central Rail
road run between Camp Look Who's
Here and the bank Of the lake. but it is
not believed that Miss Mcguire walked
along the railroad track. as she would
almost surely have been seen.
Only one person saw Miss Mcguire ap-
parently after her cousin left her in the
buggy. This was guest at Edward W.
Kilpatrick's camp, who declared that a
stream Of light played from the Knpat-
rick cottage onto the buggy. and that the
woman stepped from the carriage but q
few minutes after her cousin left II and
ran down the road toward the lake. as If
to follow him. She did not return.
There IS one other clue which may turn
out 10 be valuable. \ camper reported
that he met two negroes yesterday morn
ing who said that they had seen a Woman
in the woods earlier in the day Accord
Ing to their story the woman asked to be
directed 10 a hotel. and one Of the negroes
had told her of the Sunnyside Hotel.
which was nearby. one OF the negroes.
however, afterwarG said that the woman
seen In the woods wore a black dress.
while Miss Mcguire was clad in a light
gray suit. Not much hope reposes in this
clue. and as the search went on without
success. the belief grew that the young
woman In her confused state had fallen
into the lake. A battling feature OF the
search was that not a shred of the young
woman's clothing was found in the briars.
nor footprint In the mud showing by
what direction she had left the buggy.

San Francisco. Aug. 26.-The steamer
Acapulco. which was 10 have sailed for
Panama to-day at l o'clock, turned turtle
and is lying at the bottom of the bay
alongside the Pacific Mail dock. with only
part Of her main deck and superstruc-
ture showing above water. The 800 peo-
pie she had on board escaped to the
wharf
At 12:50 o'clock most of the passengers
were aboard and many friends were on
the deck and in the cabins bidding them
farewell. when the boat began listing to
starboard It's coal was being loaded into
the hold. The motion was not noticed at
first, but as soon as the crew realized it,
the passengers were warned to get on
deck as quickly as possible.
Panic Among Passengers.
Then. before they had time TO obey. the
ship began to go down heavily on the
starboard side. throwing many 10 the
deck. The water began pouring into the
open portfolios. and then followed a panic
among the passengers to get on the main
deck and over the side. The crew worked
at the gangways keeping order. and be-
Tore the ship got over on her side the
passengers were all out and safe on the
dock.
It seems that the cause Of the disaster
was gross earelessness. The vessel was
overloaded. and the crew left portfolios
open, so she filed, careened, and sank.
She can be raised in three or four days.

GIRL STILL MISSING
Neither Woods NOrLake Give

SEARCH EXHAUSTs CAMPERS
ScbOOI-teacher Last Seen as She
Left Her Cousins Buggy-NO Foot
Strange Woman Reported Wan
dering ON a Lonely Road.

Lake Iopatcong, n. J., Aug. 2s.-It Is
believed that a valuable clew has been
discovered in the search for Agnes Ma
guire, the young Brooklyn school-teacher
who has been missing since Saturday
night. Peter Doyle. an employe Of an
ice company, which has its plant some
two miles down the lake, declares that
he saw a woman walking on deserted
road early Sunday morning.
Constable Christie has gone to question
Doyle as to the description Of the woman,
and it is believed that this lead may de-
velop something.
A reward has been offered for the miss
ing girl. but no amount IS mentioned in
the paper which has been circulated
about the country. The girl is described
as having no coat OF hat, being OF light
complexion. with brown hair and blue
eyes.
The theory that she fell into the lake
ard was drowned was not generally be-
Neved, because the lake at this point is
shallow and there would hardly be enough
water to drown a person 40 feet from the
bank. On the other hand. the woods
about this place are composed Of dense
underbrush and a second growth Of tim
Der which would make It possible for one
who did not know the locality to wander
around for days without finding a habi-
tation.
Search Exhausts Hunters.
There are many houses and camps along
the shore Of the lake, but these do not ex-
tend into the hills. The fact that search
ers have worked without result for almost
forty-eight hours, proves little, because
of the miles and miles of underground
that they have been unable to penetrate.

New York. Aug. &-The financial world
was keenly interested Ia two reports con-
eerning the same subject to-day The
first was an official announcement that

sale $40.O00.00O of city bonds-the biggest
sale in the municipal history-at the ad-

ters that there was some reason to believe
