CHAPTER VI.-Continued.

To avoid the curiosity of passing
boats, Edwin has anchored near the
Beaulieu side of the bay. Upon this
Barnes now directs his glass. Looking
1t over. the American thinks it will be
much more probably the location of
Lady Chartris, as it has number of
pretty villas, nestled among olive, al
g1nond and orange trees, good many
'gzT them having water frontage and
ssxsSRral being possessed of boat land

HELD UNDER BOND.
T. n. Barteman Charged With Vic
lating Railway Rate Law.

United States Commissioner Taylor to-
day held P. H. Barteman under 800 bond
for his appearance in the United States
court at Baltimore. Barteman is charged
with violation of the railroad rate law
by using a railroad pass from Baltimore
to this city given to him by an employe
of the company to whom the pass was
issued
This is said to be the first prosecution
under this section of the rate bill which
forbids the use of such a pass by any
other than the one to whom it was issued.
The law provides a penalty of not less
than 500 and not more than $1,000
Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert and r. II.
Yeatman contended before the commits
sioner that the statute intends to punish
any person using a pass. issued directly or
Indirectly to him, when not an employe
of the company, and did not contemplate
the case of a person using pass lawfully
issued to an employe of the company.
The statute, 1t was said, was intended to
punish the railroad company for issuing
passes to persons other than those al
lowed by the act. and also to punish per-
sons connived with the railroad COM
panieS to violate the law using the pro-
hibited passes.
In the event of a conviction in the
Maryland court the case will probably
go to the Supreme Court of the United

PEOPLE TO SELECT CANDIDATES
FIRST TRIAL OF PRIMARY
LAW IN NEW JERSEY.
Interest Centers in the Fight for
denomination of State Senator
Everett Colby.

TRENTON, N. J.. September 22.-The
new primary election law. passed by the
last New Jersey legislature will be tried
today for the first time. This new law
abolishes conventions and places the
choosing of all candidates, excepting for
governor. Congress and presidential elect
ors. directly in the hands of the voters.
According to the new law, only registered
voters may take part in the primaries.
and each voter must vote his own party
ticket. For violations of this provision of
the law $500 fine or Imprisonment for
one year is provided.
Important state issues are lat stake in
today's primaries. and the interest centers
in Essex county. where State Senator
Everett Colby of West Orange whose ag
gressive leadership of the new idea"
movement in the republican party has
gained for him national prominence. is
waging a lively contest for denomination.
The. so-called regular" republicans are
opposing Senator Colby, their candidate
being Thomas l.. Raymond, second as
sistant prosecutor of the pleas of Essex
county. and formerly Judge of the district
court Of Newark. Senator Colby has en-
deavored to persuade Mr.. Raymond to
make a public statement of his position
regarding various matters of state i'm
portance, but has not been able to elicit
any response. Senator Colby's stand on
the matter of taxation of the large cor
porations has incurred the hostility of
those interests.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Business on the Washington Stock Ex-
change today showed marked sympathy
with the great slump in the general mar
ket Prices fell of several points on the
usually active issues. and the brokers
were plainly not overly anxious to make
commitments even at the bargain figures.
Several offerings were made. mostly OF
small blocks of stock, but the sales were
few.
Capital Traction. which heads the list
Of public utility stocks. was first to tndi-
cate the trend Of the local market. the
best bid today being 1854. as compared
with yesterdays 1873; Washington Railway
common could have been sold yesterday at
"a. but today the best bid was 33; the pre-
ferred stock of the same issue sold within
the week at 81 but the highest bid today
was 81. Washington Gas. which has
lowered persistently around "a and 50.
opened with 90 as the best bid and ssh
was the highest price proposed by a
would-be purchaser. Ten shares Of Mer-
genthaler were offered for sale. but 200
was the best bid. as compared with 2O4
yesterday.
The reason given for the hesitation Of
buyers was that the brokers and their
clients being almost invariably interested
in the New York market. did not fancy
tying up their ready funds which might
be needed to finance larger operations in
the active issues in the larger field.

BABY ON HAVEMEYER'S sTooP.
Neatly Dressed Child Found on Mil
lionaire's Doorstep.

NEW YORK, September eff the per-
son who left the fifteen-pound baby boy
on the doorstep of Mrs. II. .. Have
mever's home, No 1 East 66th street, last
night had any idea that the youngster
was going to create trouble when he woke
I'D and found he had been way-stationed,
he or she was greatly mistaken. mat
child had the time of his brief career.
Policeman Jack Fox of the East 9th
street station was walking through East
Goth street when he heard something that
sounded like chuckle.
Some of those servant girls giving me
the gurgle." he commented to himself
"Gug, gug, gug. churgug, guggee, came
from the top ofthe stoop.
Fox climbed the stoop. He got TO the
top step and came very near falling over
a bundle of white stuff. AS 1t was he
touched it with his heavy boot and got
CHEEKY "gug, gug in return.
The commotion in the doorway brought
the servants running out from the lower
regions.
What a pretty baby" exclaimed a
stylishly dressed woman who allghted
from an automobile and joined the score
of spectators. please may L take II
home with me-.
You'll have to get permission from
the charities department" said the po-
liceman Come along to- the station
house and put in claim for it.
The woman would not do this, saying
she did not want her name to get in the
newspapers She joined the other women
in the crowd and they all took turns
chucking the youngSter under the chin
until they threatened to sprain his thorax.
Then Policeman Fox tucked the infant
under his arm and took him to the sta
ton. AS far clothing went the baby
was logged up to the minute. Lieut. Man
ming directed Fox to take the youngster
to Bellevue and the little stranger topped
off the nights racket with a trolley ride.
