Part She Played in the
Conspiracy.

NEW YORK. July 25.-Contents OF a
statement said to have been made TO the
district attorneys office by Miss Julia
Fleming, who is in custody on the charge
of subordination of perjury in the Frank
]. Gould divorce cose, were made known
today. After the hearing yesterday Miss
Fleming, IT was said, made a statement
which corroborates the story told by Miss
Mabel MacCausan, the young mlliner's
apprentice, in which the latter said she had
been offered a sum OF money to testify
falsely against Frank j. Gould in the d.
vorce suit brought against him by Mrs
Helen Kelley Gould. When employed at a
prominent hotel Miss Fleming said, she
had become well acquainted with Mr.
Gould and her part in the alleged con-
spiracy was TO coach Miss MacCauslan
and enable her to identify Mr.. Gould on
the witness stand. Miss Fleming was to
have been married today, and If her re-
lease was not procured on bail It was un-
derstood that the ceremony would take
place in the prison.

MORE OF PROHIBITION BEER
New Brand Increases in Manufacture
and Sale in the Dry Com.
munitieH.

The manufacture OF the non-alcoholic or
prohibition beer is increasing in Omaha as
is its sale and shipment. But three of the
Omaha brewers are thus far manufacturing
the beverage. The product is in all re-
spects similar to the regular beer COM
pouni, ex ept that II must contain less than
one-half of l per cent Of alcohol and thus
becomes exempt from revenue taxation
The standard brands OF beer which have
per cent Of alcohol are taxed at the rate
OF 81 per barrel or keg. The purpose OF
the manufacture OF the non-aIcoholic beer
is to enable its sale in prohibition communi-
ties. Much of this beer yet exceeds the
one-half OF l per cent test owing to the
process Of fermentation, which has a ten
cency to increase the alcoholic percentage
hey ond the limit. and thus bring
II under the provisions Of the tax
able product. Brewers are constantly
experimenting with the new bever-
age and expect TO bring II up To a stage
Of perfection in short time. Much OF this
new beer is being shipped into Kansas
and into the dry" towns Of Nebraska, the
shipments increasing daily.

Memorable Impressions.

The French sailors in town didn',
understand English, and the English
didn't understand French. But there
were times of tense emotion when both
nationalities broke out into the uni
versal language. Esperanto, of signs
and then they all understood.
On the terrace the other day stood a
grour Of French tars from the Gam
betto in company with one or two
English Jacks from the Albemarle.
All were looking glum.
Suddenly one Of the Britishers lifted
his hand to his mouth as though rails
ing a glass, threw back his head. and
gurgled suggestively.
Then he brought it down, shook his
head sadly to intimate that there was
none to be had, and said expressively.
"Bloomin' town, Rotten dry!"
And the Frenchmen nodded in SYM

The Moor Of Today.

II the usurping Sultan of Morocco
succeeds in thoroughly aroudng the
religious fanaticism OF they tribes,
some desperate fighting will fall to
the share Of France and .Scain. No
one who has not been in the interior
of Morocco, or who is not well &C
quainted with conditions there, can
appreciate the bigotry Of the land and
the medieval quality of the hatred
felt for Christians. The Moor who
lives outside of the direct influence
Of civilization Is the same kind OF
fighting man as his ancestor who de-
scended on Spain with the sword in
one hand and the Koran in the other
and founded an empire there. The
only difference between a twelfth or
thirteenth century Moor and the
tribesman of today is that the for
mer was a cultured and learned man
and the latter is an ignorant barbar-
ian robber, to whom war and pillage
are the first and most enjoyable pur-
suits of existence.--Philadelphia Tele-

Odd Discovery Made Under the
Sands of a Delaware Beach. 4


Sands of Delaware Beach.
Claiming to have found icicles that
have been preserved for over sixty
years, Harry z. Elliott is backed BY
four companions who were with him
when the discovery was made. Over
sixty years ago an old oilhouse.
where the fluid was kept for use Id
the Cape Henlopen lighthouse. was
suddenly covered up by the shifting
sands of Rehoboth Beach. No effort
was made to uncover it, and the sand
remained there until many had for.
gotten that house had ever been on
the spot.
Last week when Harry r. Elliott,
well known merchant. and four other
companions were walking down the
beach near one of the sand dunes
they noticed the peak of a small house
showing forth and procuring shovels
started to dig the sand away, until
finally the door of the littld place ap-
peared. Bursting open the door from
its rusted hinges the men suddenly
plunged into a veritable icehouse and
were astonished to find icicles hang
ing from the roof. The ice was broken
of. but in few moments melted
away.
Upon investigation it was found
that the old oilhouse had been covered
up for over sixty years and the ici-
cles, which were formed then. had
kept In the perfectly alright COM
partment until the men dug the sand
away.--Rehoboth Beach correspond.
