FORMER HEAD OF MERCHANT
MARINE LEAGUE TESTIFIES

WASHINGTON, April 12.-"You
lodged to avoid going back on your
associates of the Merchant Marine
League of the United States" was the
thrust passed to Harvey d. Goulder
of Cleveland, former president of that
organization, by J. II. Ralston, attor-
ney for Representative Steenerson, ~
today's session of the ship subsidy in
Vestigation
Mr.. Goulder denied the statement and
said he had been entirely frank in his
testimony.
Mr.. Goulder, William Livingston OF
Detroit, and Joseph Stewart, second
assistant postmaster general, were to-
days witnesses at the inquiry into the
charges that the league had reflected
upon the integrity of Mr.. Steenerson
and other members of congress, in con-
rection with ship subsidy legislation.
Mr.. Goulder testified he had in
dorsed a note for $4,000, which he had
placed in a bank to the credit of the
league: that he did not know the
source of the note, whether 1t came
from membership dues or from the of
ficers of the league themselves. His
memory was hazy, but he thought the
note might have been put IN the bank
to anticipate the membership dues, so
as to have credit to meet expenses.

P|TTSBURG CRAFT
GWEN HARD BLOW
Court UphoIds Validity of Grand
Jury That Returned
Indictments
Associated Press ]

PITTSBURG, April 12.-All further
probing of counctlmanic bribery was
temporarily suspended by the adjourn
ment of the special grand jury today
until Monday.
In the meantime it is expected Frank
n. Hoffstot president of the Pressed
Steel Car company and of the Second
National bank, now under indictment
in connection with bribing councilmen,
will be brought from New York to
answer indictments already found.
EXtraditon papers were made out
today, and tonight an assistant district
attorney left for Harrisburg. where
Governor Stuart is expected to sign
them tomorrow. The papers will then
be presented to Governor Hughes at
Albany, probably on Thursday.
Upon Governor Hughes signing the
papers Hoffstot. contrary to the usual
procedure, will not be placed in GUS
tody of an officer, but will be expected
to appear before the Allegheny county
court when his presence is demanded.
This concession was made because Of
the standing of his counsel former
City Solicitor w. b. Rodgers, who
promised to produce his client when
extradition was granted.
Refusing to strike down the entire
array of talesmen serving i'm the graft
grand jury because Harrison Nesbit,
the former national bank examiner,
was alleged to be incompetent to serve
on the ground that he is not qualified
elector under the act of 1867, Judge
Robert S. Fraser today administered
another blow at the bulwarks of the
defense. The question was raised by
Attorney w. j. Brennan, counsel for
several indicted councilmen.
Judge Fraser took the ground that
the provisions of the act of 1867 are
only directory and that if. through an
oversight, a man not competent was
chosen to act and does act his acts
were valid.
ITO hold otherwise, especially after
indictments have been found by a
grand jury, would be to open the door
to endless confusion and cause unneces-
sary delay in the administration of
justice" said the judge.
Emil Winter. president OF the Work
ingman's Savings and Trust company,
who pleaded non contendre to the
charge of bribing Morris Einstein, a
former select councilman, was again
before the grand jury today.
Former Director of Public Works A.
B. Shepherd, w. A. Chamberlain,
auditor of the Pressed Steel Car com
pany; Cashier George G.. Schmidt of
the German National Bank of Allie
gheny; Arthur E. Raun, confidential
agent of the Farmers Deposit National
bank. and William Finney, auditor of
the same bank, were among others
questioned by the grand jury.

PAPER ON WALL PROVES
TO BE WORTH FORTUNE
Stock Certificates Used as MuraI
Decoration Acquire Value

SAN FRANCISCO. April 12.-Ten
years ago Henry Brink of Melrose
purchased a few thousand shares of
stock in an Arizona gold mine. In
return for several hundred dollars
he received a great bundle Of beauti-
full green certificates, handsomely en-
graVed.
After waiting in vain for the mine
to become productive and finally de-
Gliding that as an investor he was
as green as his certificates, Brink
smiled over his loss and papered his
room with the souvenirs of his
folly.
AS a mural decoration the stock was
worth par.
Yesterday he was informed that
porcelain clay of rare quality had been
discovered on the mine site and that
his certificates in consequence We're
worth a fortune.
Promptly thereupon Brink watered
his stock-he says he soaked it-and
the certificates peeled off nicely. His
walls are now bare but he says he
will remedy that at once.

Robert Daki was rescued today by the
schooner Bandon after three life-saving

some of her kin, thinking it best
to do something in the matter,
packed up a great lot of goods
and shipped them to her. One
of them followed in due time to
arrive with the goods.
Aunt Tina was overloyed, and
assured her relative that succor
had arrived just in the nick OF
time. The eyes of the other,
however. rested on a row of six
or eight barrels ranged along
the kitchen wall.
What's in these barrels, Aunt
Tina? he finally asked.

Slang.

Professor O'Shea OF the Uni.
yersity OF Wisconsin, boldly de.
lends the use of slang. He saws
Itha)s its use; it is a language
builder; that what is slang TODAY
may become perfectly good En-
gbssh five years hence. One con-
y temporary endorses the O'Sbea
view and adds that slang is far
better than profanity; that peo-
pie who use slang are rarely vul-
gar and profane. They find in
the odd and unusual expressions
the outlet they need for enthusi-
asm or other emotions says a
Georgia newspaper.
Chaucer and Shakespeare we're
users of what was slang in their
day, maintain the modern slang
advocates. 1t is pointed out that
language is merely vehicle of
thought and that whatever words
convey the thought correctly are
not only permissible but right,
whether anybody ever used them
before or not.
These points may be we'll ta-
ken, but we are, not inclined to
give the Bowery buns OF New
York credit for purifying and
elevating our language. To
adopt slang is the course of least
resistance in speaking and writ
ing and whether this is the best
method or not permits of consid-
cradle discussion before it shall
be accepted.
