DISAPPEARS OFF THE
FACE OF THE EARTH
Philadelphia Councilman
Recently Released From
Prison Vanishes

Philadelphia August 1S.-(Special.)-
Practically bankrupt, bounded into his
confession by the blackmailing tactics of
his former "yegg'' pal, Councilman VIII
liam Burke. whose real name Is benjamin
H. Trip, has disappeared from sight as
completely as though the earth had
opened and swallowed him up. Despite
the efforts of Mayor Blankenburg. Con-
gressp.an Michael Donohue and distracted
wife and children, no trace Of the man
who confessed to a past rivalling that OF
Victor Hugo's Jean Vatican, has been
found.
Notice has been sent far and wide that
the eouncilmen of the city are determined
that Burke shall keep his seat in the
council and a hundred helping hands, led
by the mayor have been stretched out to
him to help him lead the honest life he
has been following since he was released
from the Massachusetts penitentiary.
Congressman Donohue has said that he
will ask Congress to reinstate Burke in
full citizenship but q grave question
has arisen as to whether ordinances
passed with the aid of Burke's vote are
not void, inasmuch as he lost his citizen
|ship while serving the prison term. Some
OF these ordinances concern TIE city's fl
nances and a legal investigation will be
made as to their validity

man. She declares that he returned to
the use of opium about six months ago
and that she believes he was under the
influence of the drug when he wrote the
confession Mrs. Brennan. and the Burke
family have not been friendly for some
months.

GRAIN STEAMER
HELD FAST ON ROCKS
100000 Bushels on Board
for Buffalo Mills
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
Vessel on Lake Erie Bound for Buff
falo when She Ran Ashore-No
Passengers Carried, Crew
Remaining on Board
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM

Buffalo. N. Y, August 1s.-The steamer
A. E. Sewart carrying a cargo of 100000
bushels of wheat for Buffalo mills, ran
ashore at Sturgeon Point 20 miles west
of here, early today. She is resting easy
on an even keel, and can be loated after
part of her cargo has been lightered.
She carried no passengers. The crew
remained on board. The weather was
heavy at the time, both rain and fog OBJ
securing the south shore line.
The steamer was running at reduced
speed when she struck. and although 1t
is a rocky shore, the bottom is COM
paratively smooth apd her hull probably is
not badly damaged. The mate of the
steamer came ashore in a row boat and
notified the local office of the Great Lakes
Towing company. The wrecking tug
Mason was dispatched to the scene. She
was unable to move the Stewart, however,
and returned to Buffalo this evening for a
lighter. The captain of the Mason re-
ported that unless a storm blows up the
Stewart will not be badly damaged.

WEATHER WILL Be
DOUBLY IMPORTANT
Interest in Cotton Centers
This Week on Govern
ment Report

New Orleans, August 1s.--Interest
this week in the cotton market Will
be conferred in the pending govern
ment report on the condition of the
growing crop. The August period ends
next Sunday and the weather this week
will be doubly important because of
it's possible Influence on the percentage
of condition to be returned in the first
week in September
The trade has been studying all
available information concerning the
crop very carefully and has gone over
the condition figures of other years,
and particularly last year, just as. care
fully. Opinion regarding the present
condition will crystalize this week, but
1t looks now as if it would undergo a
considerable change, especially on the
bear side, from what has been pre-
vailing In certain quarters.
1t has been claimed by some traders
that the crop has improved so much as
a whole this month that the condition on
August %. the end of the present period.
will be found to be over what IT was on
July rs. On that date the condition
was 7G5 per cent of the normal As OPP
posed to this. it is being pointed out that
year ago on August Is, the condition
Of the crop was only 1872 per cent and
that t is absurd to expect a condition
so far above that returned year ago.
when the largest crop in the history of
the cotton world was being raised. A
year ago this month the crop fell off Is
points. 159 points in the exact, and this
makes comparison this year rather con-
fusing.
Thus far, private crop reporting bu-
reaus have not done much toward set
Ting opinion, This week ought to bring
forth valuable Information which will
be used in making prices.
The movement of the new crop will be
watched closely, for 1t is increasing daily
and adjustments are taking place in spot
quotations to conform to trading in new
cotton. Foreign cables claim that Texas
is offering cotton fr lily for prompt ship
ment but that spinners are not taking
hold well. The trade this week will try
to get a better line on the spot situa-
ton.

RISE IN PRICES IS
ON NEW BASIS
Cheerfulness and Conf
dence Dominate Specu-
lative Sentiment

New York, August 1s.-Cheeerfulness
and confidence continued to dominate
speculative sentiment in the stock
market last week. The rise in prices
reached new ground, advancing above
the level touched in the April rise, the
highest of the year until then. This
made a growing inducement for hold
ers of stocks to realize profits by sell
ing. The volume of dealings swelled
to the largest single days business for
several months past.
Reports and indications from all
sources indicated a general condition
of pressure upon facilities of produce
ton to meet the consumptive requires
ment. Sollcitude was felt also regard
ing the sufficiency of railroad equip
ment to meet heavy demands for NOV
ing the bountiful crops. The notable
strength of some of the equipment is
sues reflected this condition and the
struggle to meet 1t. The iron and steel
industry was affected in many branches
by the railroad buying, which included
rails for next years delivery.
The government report was accepted
as assurance of the largest yearly adj
dition to the countrys wealth from that
source in the country's history. Wealth
er conditions kept that assurance good
during the week and added to 1t In
the case of growing cotton. All au-
thorities agree on the important bear
ing of the harvests on the business
outlook. The endeavor to find some
means for increased agricultural re-
turn Is joined in by banks, merchants
and railroads, as well as the farmers
themselves.
The money market gave signs oil
pressure of demand which is common
to all the facilities of commerce. With.
drawals of cash in western reserve
centers by the country districts are
large and the turning tide of the cur
rency movement at New York show.
the extension of that influence.

JOE INGENUITY is
NOT SURPASSED BY
ANY AS wRON MAN"

Newark, August 1S.-(Special) There
may have been in the history of the game
better pitchers than Joe McGinnity, but
it is doubtful IL there ever was a man who
had the stamina of the Iron Man Just
the other day he pitched both games of
a double header for the Newark club
and won them both, and he has been in
the game for more than 20 years. In his
prime it was no unusual thing for Nc
Ginnity to pitch and win two games In a
day, but that he should do 1t in an IA
league at this time in his career is worth
more than passing notice
McGinnity first came to the front in 1893
with the Montgomery club of the South
ern league. He was with Kansas City In
1894, with Springfield in 1895, 1896 and 1897
In 1898 he pitched for the champion Peoria
club of the Western association, winning
10 out of Is games pitched.
On June Il of that year he pitched the
most sensational game of his career. Pc
orla and st. Joseph battled for q innings,
Peoria winning by to g. The Iron Man
held the Saints" down 10 IL hits. George
Pinckney, the old third baseman of the
Brooklyn club, recommended McGinnity
to President Ebbets His letter was
turned over to McGraw, who signed Nc
Ginnity for Baltimore In 1899. He was the
pitching find of the year, winning 2s games
and losing II.
In 1900 McGlnnity was transferred to
Brooklyn, and virtually won the pennant
for the Superbas. When the Pittsburg
Pirates were chasing Brooklyn and Han
Ions pitchers went ballooning, McGinnity,
by officiating in five games out of six,
shot the club to the front again, where
they remained. Brooklyn beat Pittsburg
in the post-season SERIES and his fellow
players turned over the cup they won to
the Iron Man.
He made his most remarkable record
in 1903, when hes pitched both games of
three double headers for the Giants and
won all six games. On August / that
year he beat Boston by to and to q.
On August he beat Brooklyn to / and
to 3. On August 81 he beat Philadelphia
by TO l and to 2. All of these games
went the full nineinnings.

WALTER JOHNSON
HAS WON % GAMES
AND Ia STRAIGHTS

Walter Johnson, hailed by many as the
worlds greatest pitcher. has Just tied
the American league record by winning
his fourteenth straight game. Besides
taking his fourteenth straight, johnson
won his twenty-sixth game of the year.
He has lost but seven games and many of
these by close scores
IL the big right handed Swede should
show form for the rest of the season 1t is
probable that he may overcome Mar

SALESMAN has announced that he will GO
after every record ever made by twirer
and seems to be intent upon doing this
Should the Nationals win the American
league pennant, Johnson has declared that
he will pitch every other game. Many
believe that he could win a worlds series
single handed.
