Lontaka Withdraws

Philadelphia. May 23.-The Lontaka
which was obliged to withdraw from the
Philadelphia to Havana motor boat race
after breaking four times on her way to
the sea, came back to port this afternoon.
Defective engines, which had not been
properly tested, caused the little craft to
abandon the contest, according to the
owner, H. s. Peters of Dover, N. J. The
engines had just been installed, 1t is said
and should have had at least a two
weeks test before the boat was taken out
for long distance runs. The Lontaka was
the largest boat entered In the race. Al
went well until she was off Bombay HOOK
at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon.

Arthur Ferguson, colored, sentenced in July, 1909, to serve three years for assault with intent to kill in Union county is so diseased he has 10 walk with crutches. Harry An- Grews, the fourth negro pardoned was convicted in Jefferson county, Sept ember, 1908, of assault with intent to kill and sentenced to serve four years. He is diseased so that he can hardly walk. The two whites pardoned were Frank Harris and James D. Daf- iron. Harris is from White county being sentenced to serve four years from July 1907. He is hopeless crip- ple and promised to leave the state if pardoned. Daffron was sent up from Sebastian county, having 21 years to serve for murder in the second degree. He has served three vars of his term. His spine is paralyzed. Gov. Dona- ghey will probably set free a number more of the cripples which are eat ing their heads off at the expense of the state, being unable to do work of any kind and so helpless they could not 2 gain commit crime.

NEWMAN BAUM
 SENT TO JAIL
Former Little Rock Merchant Goes to Jail on Charge of Contempt of Court Files His Reasons for Not Com
 plying With Order.


 Little Rock, Ark, May 12.-Newman Baum, the former East Markham street merchant who filed his vol- untary petition in bankruptcy here laat year was committed to jail this morn ing on charge of contempt of court for fa.ling to carry out the order of the court to pay ReceiverJ. A. Conner the sum of $16,6S4.10, claimed as mis- sir z assets of the concern.
 The order of the court was made last fall, but an appeal was taken by Raun. to the circuit court of appeals and finally to the supreme court of .i.e United States, both courts prac- tically confirming the order of the lower court, except in some minor matters.
 Baum claimed then he did not have the assets he was credited with hav- ing, and therefore could not comply With the order of the court. He claims still that he has made every effort to secure the money to enable hlm to comply with the order of the coIIt, but says he owns home worth about S6,500. on which there is a '. r:.cgceSAge of nearly the full value, but lie ras offered to turn over his equity in tue home to the receiver.
 Baum also says he owns only few shares of stock in the Baum Mercan- tie Company, and is employed by the c:n'rany as manager, getting a salary as alch, but has very little interest in tine business. He says he is will !',Ag to turn it all over to the receiv- CT.
 He claims that his interest in that and also his interest in his home has been acquired since he was adjudged a bankrupt.
 Baum further claims that his wife owns considerable real estate. and that she has owned it for more than 25 years, that he has appealed to her to sell it and help him raise the mon ey to pay the amount to the receiver, but she has refused to do so. He contends that he is absolutely bankrupt and unable to pay to the re- eeiver the amount claimed or any oth- CT amount; that his attorneys fees in the court proceedings are not paid, and that his attorney was forced to pay out of his own funds the sum of $S5 for making stenographic notes of the case.
 Baum also alleges in his reply tha, he has been forced from time to time to borrow money from friends and from the banks to meet the urgent demands of his family expenses.
 He was committed to jail by Judge Trieber for contempt of court. Nc time limit was set on the sentence and it may be that Baum will remain in jail until the amount is settled. The sentence for contempt of court is en. tfrely in the hands of the court which assesses the penalty. and may be Ions or short. in the judgment of the court

MUSTN'T BE TOO TRUTHFUL
Warning to Writers of Fiction Based
on Maine IncIdent-Reai
Business of Authors.

Down in Maine they have been en-
joying an Enoch Arden and many feel
called upon to declare that truth is
stranger than fiction" OF course 1t is.
though there are still those who
greet the revelation with cheers, while
quite numerous are the writer's who
PROFOUND appalling narratives and
thing they can silence their critics
by crying: Fooled again! Every in
cident In my novel really happened"
What II 1t did really happen? As
truth Is stranger than fiction, the busi-
ness of fiction writer's is to make their
fiction less strange than truth. Good
writer's know how. Suppose, for the
sake OF example. the bishop really ate
the canary. A cloud Of witnesses
Bwoops in to prove 1t, with feathers
In their hands and q plump bishop in
the dock But In fiction there's no
such appeal to evidence. My, my what
pecks of trouble await the novelist

ly said in it all that there is to say.
Every charge against me is taken up
and answered in its proper place IN
my narrative.
Il do not know what my plans for
the future will be. I have not re
turned to America with the intention
of making money out of my Arctic ex'
periences. Money did not prompt the
writing of my story, as l have seen
suggested in certain newspapers. As
have said, have come back solely
for the purpose, of rehabilitating my
self and my family by setting matters
right with my countrymen."
The argument among the George
Washington's passengers arose whe1
the doctors sympathizers ABOARD
wished 1t understood that he was re
ceived with no shadow of discrimina
ton by the other passengers. His enc
mics wished it made clear that he hal
been Stunned.
