ness In the Federal Court

Mrs. Elizabeth c. Seaman. Nellie Bly,
proved a rather difficult witness yester-
day in the proceedings before United
States Commissioner Morle in the Federal
Court in Brooklyn The matter grew out
of the bankruptcy proceedings against
the Ironclad Manufacturing COMPANY.
of which Mrs Seaman is president and
treasurer.
1t is alleged that the connection between
the Ironclad company and the American
Steel Barrel Company is close enough to
warrant seizing the assets OF the latter
to pay the indebtedness OF the other con-

ceiver appointed by Judge Chatfield in

Mrs. seaman before Commissioner Norle
in an effort to chow this oonnebtion. As
recever for the Ironolad company Mr..
Clark wants the property Of the Ameri-
can Steel Barrel Company turned over
to him.
Mrs Seaman declined to say whether
she had ever owned any stock in the
American Steel Barrel Company. A paper
apparently signed by herself was shown
TO her. II affirmed thai the Ironclad com
pany owned the other concern She was
not prepared to say whether the signaturx,
was genuine, but admitted that II re-
sembled hers very closely She said she
knew nothing about any transfer OF prom

Arthur A. Dunphy was convicted yes

Sessions OF grand larceny in the first
degree. He was indicted with Dr. Frank
l.. Meyer for swindling the Anglo South
American Bank. Ltd. out of $4,000
and was remandsd until Thursday for

Dunphy obtained the SIS 900 November
10. 1909. from the Anglo South American
Bank on a note signed by Or. Meyer as
trustee Of the National Protective Asso-
citation OF Williamsport. Pa. As col
lateral he put up 5000 shares Of Canadian
Mines Company stock. then listed on the
curb at % q share. The stock he had
obtained from Mack Bros. promoters,
ostensibly as collateral for loan Of 81. 500
to them.
The loan from the Anglo South Ameri-

PM BETA KAPPA AT COLUMBIA.
senator Burton Of Ohio Delivers the 40.
dress Of the hay.

Senator Theodore s. Burton Of Ohio
delivered the annual Phi Beta Kappa
oration at Columbia University last night
on Prevalent Misapprehension Relating
To Our Political Life" Senator Burton in
sisted that men in public AFFAIRS were
especially in need Of defence from preju-
diced attacks and misapprehensions grow
ing from their relations with political life.
He denied that the legislator or public
official was primarily or principally re-
sponsibe for such evils IA the use OF money
in elections, the participation in pork
barrel legislation or the lack OF courage
in law making While some public men
were not lacking in culpability. an over
whelming pressure from the electorate
was more responsible. Such remedies as
the initiative and referendum may cause
increased interest and in measure cure
the difficulty. but a complete and SUB
stantial reform can only be obtained by
a revival Of the civic spirit among the
people and keener sense OF the Importance
Of their duties.
Senator Burton said that there was
a lack OF balance in the public prints.
and as an illustration OF this he told OF a
young Congressman from Ohio who had
been allotted half an hour for his maiden
speech and had made such favorable
impression by his knowledge OF his sub
ject that HE time had been extended TO
three hours and he had attracted large
audience before he had finished talking.
He had been speaking, on the initiative. s
are supposed to be Of great popular inter
est at the present time. and yet not a single
New York paper gave line to the debate.
One Washington paper referred to the
discussion briefly and eaid that a new
member from Ohio had taken part in the
debate, Another Washington paper gave
twenty lines to the proceedings OF Con-
gress and FIVE to the young member
from Ohio. and yet this same paper printed
one column Of gossip from the fore gn
courts and fourteen columns OF baseball
news.
Il contend continued the Senator.
that such an incident as this can be taken
a. lack Of balance on the part Of the news
paper. But don't blame the newspaper
TO be sure. they miss their opportunity 10
educate the people but We must remember
that the mind of the people is not on politl-
cal subjects and that the newspapers are
business enterprises which give the people
what they want II the people hadn
wanted fourteen columns OF baseball that
day tney probably Wouiu not nave gov H.
