SUIT LOST BY GOVERNMENT
Supreme Court Quashes Libel Action
Brought by Roosevelt Against
New York Newspaper.

WashingtOn.-The government has
lost its fight to bring the Press Pub
fishing company, publishers of the
New York World, to trial for alleged
libel of Theodore Roosevelt, Presi

The supreme court held that the
federal courts were without jurisdic-

lower court, quashing the Indictment
against the publishing company.
In effect, the libel was the publica-
ton of articles stating that Charles
P. Taft, Douglas Robinson and Will

pont Morgan and others, obtained
control of the Panama canal route for
about $3,00O,000 and by the coop

PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES
STEEL CORPORATION TEN
DERS RESIGNATION.
MAY HAVE NO SUCCESSOR

Figurehead, and Is Now Likely to
be AboIished-Judge Gary Rules
Great Corporation.

New William E. Corey,
president of the United States Steel
corporation, has resigned and it is
likely that he will have no successor.
His resignation was announced by
Ebert H. Gary. chairman of the
finance committee of the corporation,
to take effect at the pleasure of the
directors. He carries with him the
best wishes of all connected with the
corporation, says the statement is
sued, and leaves with loyalty to the
corporation and all. it's interests, but
nothing is said of his plans for the
future.
The first president of the United
States Steel corporation was Charles
M. Schwab, who, following his resig-
nation, became president of the Beth
lehem Steel company. Mr.. Corey has
served seven years.
About a year ago the powers of
the chairman of the finance commit
tee and of the chairman of the board
of directors, both of which Judge
Gary is, were enlarged to include not
only the administrative affairs of the
corporation but the details of execu-
tive management. Unless another
president is named Mr.. Gary becomes
chief over all provinces of the largest
corporation in the world.

SYNOPSIS.

Capt Nathaniel Plum, of the sloop
Typhoon, lands secretly on Beaver island,
stronghold of the Mormons. He is sud
denly confronted by Obadiah Price. an
eccentric old man and a member Of the
Mormon council, who tells him that he is
expected. Price ignores Mats protesta-
lons that he has got the wrong man, and
bargains for the ammunition aboard the
sloop. He binds Nat by a solemn oath to
denver package to Franklin Pierce
president of the United States. Near
PIlceS cabin Nat sees the frightened face
OF a young woman who disappears in the
darkness, leaving an odor of lilacs. It
develops that Plum's visit to the island
is to demand settlement from the king
'Strang, for the footing of his ship some
time previously, supposedly by Mormons
casey, the mate, has been left in charge
or the Sloop with orders to lombard ST.

certain time. Price takes Nat in the
darkness, to the kings home, and
through window he sees the king and
his wives, among whom is the lady of
enth wife. Plum calls at the kings Of
ice. where he is warned by young
woman that his life is in danger. Strang
receives Plum cordially, processes indig-
nation when he hears the captains grieV-
ance, and promises to punish the guilty.
Plum again receives warning of his dan
ger. He rescues Neil, who is being pub
hcly whipped. The king orders Arbor
Croche, the sheriff and father of VIM
some, the girl who warned Nat, to pur--
sue and kill the two men. Plum and Neil
plan to escape on the Typhoon. Plum
learns that Marion, the girl of the lilacs,
is Neirs sister. She is not yet married
to Strang. Plum suggests carrying her
off on the ship. Neil approves. They
agree to include Winnsome. with whom
Price is in love, in the enterprise. Nat
discovers that the sLOop is gone. He
meets Marion and tells her that Neil has
left the island. The thunder of a gun is
heard and Marion tells him his ship has
been captured by the Mormons. She
pleads with him to leave the island and
prevent her brother from returning. She
says nothing can save her from Strang.
Plum finds Price raving mad.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. l bought several
boxes OF ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had 1t about six months when friend
told me about CutiCura. l sent and
got a bottle OF Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes Of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. / don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. l think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
have ever used for toilet purposes"

CHAPTER VlI-Continuen-

A shudder ran through the coun-
cilor's frame, as if the voice had start
led him, his arms and body stiffened
iand slowly he lifted his head. Ma
,thaniel tried to stifle the cry on his
lips, tried to smile-to speak, but the
terrible face that stared up into his
own held him silent, motionless. He
had heard the voice of madness, now
he looked upon madness in the eyes
that glared at him. In them was no
sign of recognitioa, no passing flash
lof sanity. The white face was lined
with purplish veins, the mouth was
distorted and the lips bleeding. In
voluntarily he stepped back to the
end of the table.
At his movement the councillor
stretched out his arms with a sobbing
moan.
"Nat-Nat-dOnt go"
He fell again upon his face. clutch
ing the table in a sudden CONFUSION.
In the next room Nathaniel had no
ticed a pail Of water and he brought
this and wet the old mans head. For
a long time Obadiah did not move,
and when he did it was to reach out
with cropping hand to find Nathaniel.
a change had come into his face when
he lifted it again, the mad fire mad
partly burned itself out of his eyes,
the old chuckling laugh came from
between his lips.
"A little weakness, Nat-a little
weakness" he gasped family. 1 nave
lit now and then. Excitement-great
excitement" He Strengthened hlm-
self for a moment and stood, swaylng
free from the table. then collapsed
into a chair, his head dropping upon
his breast.
Without arousing him from the stu
NOR into which he had fallen, Ma
thaniel again concealed himself In
the shadows outside the cabin where
he could better guard himself against
the possible approach OF Mormon Wis
itors. But he did not remain Ions.
He struck q match and saw that IL
WAS nearly IL and a sudden resolu-
ition turned him back to the caoln
door. He believed that Obadiah would
not easily arouse himself from the
strange stupor into which he had fal-
len. Meanwhile he would find food
and then conceal himself near the
Dath to intercept Marion.
AS he mounted the step he heard
for the second time since landing
upon the island the solemn tolling OF
the great bell at St James. and as he
naused for an instant TO listen, peal
anon peal followed the first until its
brazen thunder rolled in one long
booming echo through the forests OF
the Mormon kingdom. There came a
shrill cry at his back and he whirled
about to see the councillor standing
IN the center of the big room, his arms
outstretched, his face lifted as 1t had
been raised in prayer at the tolling OF
.be same bell the night before-out
this time it was not prayer that Tell
from his lips.

AS he spoke the cabin trembied. a
tremo~ passed under them, and the
ton1ns of the bell was lost in a sudden
'nmult that came like the bursting
crash OF low thunder.
What is it?" cried Nathaniel. He
leaped into the room and caught Oba-
dlah by the arm What is it?"
The hand of God.''. whispered the
old man again. "Nat-Nat-" 1t was
his old self that stood grimacing and
twisting his hands before Nathaniel
now. ''Nat-a thousand armed men
are off the coast. The Lamanites of
the mainland are descending upon the
Mormon kingdom as the hosts of Is
rael upon Canaan! Strang is doomed
-doomed-doomed-and tomorrow |
shall be king" His voice rose in a
Wailing shrek. He darted to the door
and his cackling laugh rang with the
old madness as he pointed into the
north where lurid glow had mounted
high into the sky.
The signal fire-the bell!" he CUR
gled chokingly. They are calling the
Mormons to arms-but it is too late
too late! Ho, no. it is too late, Nat
too late!" He staggered back, grip
ping his throat, and fell upon the
floor. Too late-tOo late" he moaned

A SILVER passed through his body
and he lay quite still.
