The State Department al Warrington
has taken hand In the efforts that arc
being made to have +. q. Bailey come
home from Honduras with his gallant ship
Goldsboro and her si2s,00O cargo which
doesn't belong to him. The State De-
partment has asked the Honduran Gov
ernment as an act Of courtesy and oomity
to arrest and extradite him for grand lar
ceny. tho request having beeu made through
H. Peroival Dodge, American Minister TO
Salvador and Honduras.
While tho State Department was moving
In Warrington another warrant was being
sworn out before Magistrate Wahle In
the Tombs police court In this city for
Baileys arrest. This warrant charges him
with having stolen s2.7o0 worth Of drills
and other machinery from the Star Drilling
and Machine Company Of los Fulton street.
The previous warrant was based on charge
OF his having stolen money through the
sale Of shippers drafts.
Tho purpose of the second warrant IL
obvious. The creditors Of Bailey and his
deserted Export Shipping Company have
good reason to believe that tho Honduran
Government will honor the State Depart
ment's request. and In that event tho crodi-
tors want to be in place to seize che Golds-
boros cargo az stolen goods.

shippers apparently had the greatest oon-

Bailey & when he got the goSSdsS ,St issusd his bis
drafts as security and then sent the drafts
! on their long journey to Townsville by
getting them discounted and apparently

What some of tho banks want to know
now is how those bills OF lading read. Do
! they really show on their face that the goods

and did the banks discount the drafts when
these discrepancies were apparentP II the
bills Of ladins didn't read !, that y; ,sy wsy they
| II is estimated that Bailey got al told
the disoounting of these drafts. The banks

, loss and some Of the shippsss are inclined
donate lot Of goods to the 0oldsboro's
cargo without being obliged to turn right
around and pay out money on your own
draft 1t looks, however, as II the shippers,
in the event Of Bailey being able to avoid
but would be obliged TO pay Bailey for them

little reason to wonder why 1t can't be

is the General Supply Company. Bailey
represented to some Of the shippers that
London banks had assured him that the
General Supply Company had enough
money In banF to meet all the drafts.
Maybe it has, said one Of the creditor
shippers yesterday but we have got to
catch up with the company
Dispatches from Honduras yesterday
said that the Goldsboro's manifest read
that the goods had been shipped by the
General Supply Company and were con-
signed to Mr.. Meyers. Private Information
which came to counsel for the receiver
tention down In Hondurss that the ship
ment is entirely regular. that tho General
Supply Company has merely moved from
Australia to Honduras.
Apparently Bailey hasn't been able to
land any of the cargo as yet. The State
Department gave out yesterday this
despatch which 1t had received from the
American Consul at Puerto Cortez:

under the name Atlantida, nag OF Honduras.
