MAKE PLEA

Poughkeepsie, n. z, July 16.-After
having crept from a sickbed to an
swer to the indictment for forgery In
the third degree brought against him
by the grand jury Lewis FL. VAN, pres

ment by his physician, and bis friends
are uneasy concerning the effect upon
the invalid 1nancier of the harassing
court proceedings.
The Indictment contains three
counts, alleging that President Vail be-
tween Aug. "a, 1906, and Dec. "a, 1905,
mut1lated a portion of q book or record
OF the Duchess Fire Insurance COM
pany by directing to cut out and that
he did cut out and remove a resolution
authorizing the president to reinsure
the business of the Duchess Insurance
company or such parts thereof as he
deemed best on q basis Of rs per cent
OF from the pro rata measured pre-
MUM. That bis action was for the
purpose and intent Of c~oncealing from
h superintendent of insurance a debt
or obligation to pay to the Duchess
insurance company a commission Of
20 per cent of the pro rata measured
premium Of the policies or risks of the
Duchess Insurance company, which
President Vail was authorized by said
resolution to refnsure irthe Dutchess
Fire insurance company and to de-
ceive and mislead the said superin-
tendent of insurance of New York
state In relation to such commissions.
President Vail was sick in bed at his
home when the forgery Indictment
against him was returned. Judge
Morschauser at the request of Mr..
Fisher, who was skeptical Of the GENT
ineness of his Illness, sent DR.. Won
filling to examine Mr.. Vail. The
physician reported that he was suffer
ing from heart trouble and hardening
of the arteries and that he was In no
condition to stand any great strain,
although he might endure arraignment
In court to give bonds.

he was too sick that he ought not to
come.
President Vail, on his own initiative,
put In his appearance, ACT ompanfed by
his counsel, William FL. Wood, and put

TkNGLE OUT

P%ittsburg, July 16.-Looking hope
fully forward to the ultimate straight
ening out of the tangle In bis affairs,
Colonel James NJ. Guffey today ex-
presses confidence that it will not be
long before the receiver, who has been
place In charge of his property, Is dis
charged. Colonel Guffey, besides being
a famous oil and coal magnate, has
for years been the Democratic leader
Of Pennsylvania. He is a member Of
the Democratic national committee.
The assets of Colonel Guffey are
estimated at s17,o0O 600, his liabilities
at less than 100000. Inability to
realize on his assets. which consist
largely of coal lands In West Virginia,
is said to be the reason for Mr.. Cuff
fey's embarrassment.
The receivership proceedings when
made public caused somewhat of a
sensation. John H. Galley, one Of Mr..
'Guffey's creditors and a former busi-
ness partner, went into common pleas
court No. a and asked for a receiver
for the oil and coal king. John s.
Willard Of P%tttsburg was appointed
receiver and was placed under 100000
bond.
Colonel Guffey issued a statement
expressing regret that it had become
necessary that his affairs be placed in
the hands Of a receiver, but it would
afford protection to himself as well as
to all Of his creditors.
1t is set forth in the ~receivershlp
papers that Guffey is perhaps the larg-
est holder of West Virginia coal lands

portionment Wherever the fraction
was less than one half the unit no
ADDITIONAL delegate was given.

was added where the fraction was less
than one half the unit. In this CAGE

county whose fraction appros ched
nearest one half the unit.

potionment as made:

There are five varieties of venom

of them Crotalids and two belong
ing to the Flaps family. The Flaps
are rather rare. The Crotalids
(rattlesanke, moccasin and copper
head are common, and of the widest
geographical distribution. Yet, on
the basis of actual evidence the
amazing fact stands out that only
about eighty persons, so far as is
ascertainable, have ever died from
snake bite in the United States.
Estimates vary as to the proper
ton of deaths to bites Prentiss
Wilson believes that something over
ten per cent. of all persons bitten by
venomous snakes in the United
States die. AS to how many of these
'succumb, not to the venom, but to
the misdirected efforts of misguided
friends at treatment-an extremely
important differentiation-he lacks
the data upon which to base a reck-
oning. S. Weir Mitchells figures
indicate 81 per cent mortality for
rattlesnake bite. This would make
the venom about as dangerous as the
toxin of typhoid fever, which is not
generally regarded as a necessarily
deadly disease. Other writer's go
as high as fifteen per cent for the
rattlesnake and as low as one per
cent. for the copperhead.
All general estimates seem to me
to leave one basic element out of
consideration-the unnoted, nom
fatal snake bites. That a bite re-
sulting in death will eventually get
itself reported is reasonably certain.
On the other hand | am satisfied
from talking with plantation owners
in the south, with ranchmen in the
west, and with woodsmen and hunt
ers all over the country that in the
remoter regions many instances of
poisoning by copperheads and the
smaller rattlesnakes never attain the
dignity of being listed, so insignifi-
cant are they in their effects. Were
all these to be recorded believe that
