GRANT SUBSIDY TO
MERCHANT MARINE
BILL WOULD ADMIT FOREIGN
BUILT SHIPS FREE.
Washington Writer Tells OF Aid
That Vessels of Other Nations
Receive.
THE BOATS ARE BADLY NEEDED

Washington. Dec. 13.-George
MARBLE, of the Cudahy Packing COM
pany of Omaha, Neb.. writes to say
that outside OF a comparatively small
sum paid by the British government
for the construction of a ship which
can be used in war time. it pays
nothing in the way of subsidies, and
fully 95 per cent of the British ship
ping receives no subsidy in any
shape or form. The largest steam
ship company in the world. the Ham,
burg-American. receives no aid from
the German government, except the
ordinary pay for the carriage OF
mails"
In reply to Mr.. MARBLES assertions
would say that the British govern
ment subsidies steamship lines to the
United States 20 Canada, to India,
to Australia and New Zealand, TO
South America. to the West Indies
and Spanish Main. and in addition TO
a subsidy of s656,910 for carrying
the mails to South Africa the British
war department gives contracts for
carrying supplies to the Castle Line
of steamers which would be sufficient
to support ii, IL 1t had no other bust
ness whatever. Indeed, there is no
line of steamers sailing under the
British flag which has not, in some
form or another, received the as
sistance of the imperial treasury.
In England.
The British government has paid
subsidies since 1928, and continues
to pay them both for commercial and
military reasons, and the principal
British colonies also pay large sub
sides.
The Cunard line receives a cash
subsidy of s729.OOO a year for the
Mauretania and Lusitania alone, and
the money comes from the naval ap-
propriations as sort OF retainer for
the use of those ships, which are the
largest and fastest in the world. as

The actual tria, Of William Cow, who

the failure OF the Borough Bank Of
Brooklyn, began to-day before Justice
Crane In the Supreme Court OF Kings
County The proceeding began Monday
morning and jury was completed last
night. District Clarke Is In
charge OF the prosecution. with his chief
assistant, Robert Elder, helping. Martin
w. Littleton is handling Cows defense.
Cow is under Indictment on charge
OF stealing $4,000 from the Borough
Bank shortly before the failure Of that
institution in the panic Of 1901 Cow
held a controlling interest in the bank.
OF which Howard Maxwell was pres!-
dent and Arthur d. Campbell cashier.
Maxwell and Campbell were really mere
clerks. Cow actively directed all the
operations OF the institution, It is as
serted.
Cashier Helps Prosecution.
After the failure OF the bank, Cow,
Maxwell and Campbell were indicted.
Maxwell committed suicide Campbell
has turned States evidence and has
furnished a lot OF information to Dis
trict-Attorney Clarke.
This was made plain when Mr.. Lit
Teton, after Mr.. Clarkes opening adj
dress to-day, made nifty objections TO
the presentation OF the case by the
prosecutor. He asked that juror he
withdrawn and the case he started all
over again, because Mr.. Clarke made
many references to conversations be-
tween Campbell and Maxwell, nj
which Mr.. Cow was not present. Jus
tlce Crane overruled the insistent mir.
littleton on all points.
Mr.. Clarke's address was long and
technical and bristed with figures,

Cows financial operations. Frequent ref.

which Campbell figured indicated the
Souruc OF the information.
The theft charged against Cow, who
was supposed to be a millionaire, DC.
Cured in connection with the launching
upon the financial sea OF New York OF
the International Trust Company. Cow
had a bank In Brooklyn and an interest
in bank in New York, but he wanted
trust company. At that tlme-a few
months before the panic-trust com.
panles were making serious inroads
upon the business OF the national banks

THE International Trust Company"
said MIR. Clarke, was supposed to have
a cash capital of $4,000 and an addi-
tional surplus in cash and securities OF
$4,000 As a matter of fact. as we will
show, this trust company was started
on an actual honest cash capital of no
more than 5000.
Maxwell was in charge OF the work
of organization He gave receipts for
subscriptions to the stock-the total of
which. from the outside, amounted TO
about sSO.vO0. We will SHOW that these
receipts were used Tor the purpose OF
raising money in an il.egltimate way"
Mr.. Clarke then went INTO detailed
account OF how, as he said. Cow, Max

ADVANCE TO THE
CANN0N'S MOUTH
moors Display Great Courage
in Attack on SpanIards.

Melilla, Morocco, July 21.-The at
tack by Moorish tribesmen on the
Spanish forces Saturday afternoon
was executed under cover of a feint
On the front, but was in reality d.
rected against the Spanish flank. The
first charge was repulsed, but in the
evening a more violent assault was
made for the purpose of capturing the
Spanish battery. The Moors displayed
great courage and skillful tactics.
They rushed forward in small squads.
Many of the tribesmen succeeded in
breaking through the barbed wire en-
trenchments, where they fell at the
mouths of the cannon after hand to
hand fighting. It was o'clock on
Sunday morning when the Moors
finally retired. The Moors numbered
5000, the French and Spanish a total
of 1000.
General Marina, commander of the
Spanish force in Morocco, was in the
thick of the struggle, encouraging his
pen, who fought heroically. Captain
Guiloche and Major Roya were killed
defending battery. The Moors bore
off several bodies with the intention
of burning them, but the Spaniards
made sortie and recaptured the bod
les.

on q New Footing.

Mr.. AbsalOm FOOte, an eccentric old
gentleman who had grown tired Of life
in the city, decided to move to some
smaller town, free from the roar of
traffic, the hustle and confusion Of the
thronging multitude, where he could
end his days TRANQUILITY, as became a
man of his age. In casting about for
location, his eye CHANGED to light
upon the advertisement In village
paper Of one Thomas R. Foote, who
wanted to dispose Of his boot and
shoe store at bargain, having made
up his mind to remove to the city.
'"That's the very thing" he said.
SELLING shoes Is nice easy occupa-
ton. It will give me just enough to
10 to keep me from stagnating, and it
won't wear me out with overwork.
I'll investigate it. It's queer, though,
that his name is Foote, my name is
Foote, he wants to come to the city
and want to go to the country"
A visit to the little town decided
him. he liked its appearance and To-
cation. He was pleased, moreover.

"Well," said the other Mr.. Foote,

that it was faithful representation Of

ELLA GINGLEs ACQUITTED
But Jury Repudiates Her "Whit.
Slave" Story.

But Jury Repudiates Her "White
Slave" Story.
Chicago, July 21.-Ella Gingles, the
little Irish lacemaker, was freed by
jury in Judge Brentano's courtroom,
a verdict declaring her innocent of
stealing lace from Agnes Barrette,
proprietor of the Irish lace store in
the Wellington hotel, being returned.
1t was sort of Scotch verdict"
as appended to the finding was a
statement that they also further found
that the charges made against Agnes
Barrette in the testimony of the trial
were unfounded and untrue. Miss
Barrette was not on trial and the jury
simply placed in writing that they did
not believe Ella Gingles' sensational
charges made on the stand against
Miss Barrette, Mrs. Cecilia Kenyon,
Thomas Taggart and others.
States Attorney Wayman declares
that the case is closed as far as his
Office is concerned. II shall not
charge Miss Gingles with perjury -
said Mr. Wayman, "although the jury
did go out of it's way to brand her
story of assaults in the wellington
hotel as false.'
