NOBODY CLAIMS
BRIBERY MONEY

Indianapolis. July 6.-Five twenty-dollar
bills that the grand jury Of this county
four years ago believed had been onered
to a member of the legislature to bride
him to vote against the anti-cigarette
law, probably will continue without
claimant.
o. A. Baker, an attorney who was in
dicted as having offered the bride and
who went to Europe to escape trial, ap-
peared In court today and the indict-
ment against him was quashed as the
only prosecuting witness, Ananias Ba-
ker, who charged O. A. Baker with the
attempted bribery, died recently.
The prosecutor said to Baker:
"I have the 500 and II you will give
me receipt for 1t 1 will gladly turn
1t over to you"
TITS not my money" Baker replied.
land l never had anything to do with 1t. "
Baker told the court he had been con-
nected with man employed by the Amer
lean Tobacco company. Bakers attor-
ney suggested that the money be given
to the Home for the Aged but the court
ordered the prosecutor to retain 1t.

FRENCH WILL NOT
AID LIBEL CASE

Paris, July 6.-Henry A. Wise, United
State district attorney at New York, and
Stuart Mcnamara. assistant United
States district attorney for the District
of Columbia. sent here as a special COM
mttee to obtain testimony in the Pana-
ma libel case, have reached Paris, but
they can do nothing until the arrival
of Delaney Nicoll and John D. Lindsay,
counsel for the Press Publishing COM
pany, publishers of the New York World.
The prospects of the commissions OBJ
tanning much information are anything
but bright
The consent of the French government,
which is not based upon treaty stipula-
tons, but is merely an act of courtesy,
has not yet been obtained, the govern
ment having replied to the American
embassys communication that the list
of witnesses and the questions to be
asked must first be submitted to the
minister of Justice who shall decide
whether 1t will be possible to comply
with the request. The position of the
French government is extremely delicate.
The old Panama scandal, which wreck
ed SO many regulations and brought the
country almost to the verge of revo-
luton. is now legally closed, and no mat
ter how willing they were to accede to
the request 1t would necessitate the
avoidance of such action involving the
slightest risk of reopening the old ques-
ton.
Even should a favorable response be
given, the French and not the American
procedure would doubtless be followed
Judge Ditts, president of the court of
the first instance of the Seine, would

Pittsburg, July 6.-The largest flag in

100 feet long, Weighing over 1000 pounds
with its fastenings. Stretched between
the eighteenth floor of the Prick building

waited by a strong wind toward the Dia-
mond street of the courthouse today 1t
caught in the lightning rod of cap stone.
The next moment the stone and tile roof
ing were pulled loose and crashed into
the street, where several hundred persons

DEALERS PROVE CASE
Bids viii Be Opened BY the Board of

Issue of School Bonds
of $275,ooo.

Chattanooga, July 6.-(Special.)--
Victory for the near-beer men was the
result of test case made in the city
court Monday. The police department
made strong fight, but the testimony
of ]. L. Walton, who stated on the
stand that he drank 25 glasses before
breakfast Monday morning and was
able to appear in court in perfectly
sober condition, threw the weight of
the evidence against Chief of Police
Mcmahon and his men. Judge Fleming
had previously ruled that unless near
beer was intoxicating he would not
fine dealers for selling it, and the testi-
mony of Mr.. Walton was so convincing
that not only did the police fail to
prove that the drink is intoxicating,
but the dealers did prove that Blue
