MEYERS OBJECTED TO

hsbutsd His Associate for Printing
 Misleading Advertisements.

New York. Dec. 2e.-Letters alleged to have passed between A. L. wisner and John J. Meyers. who are on trial in the federal court charged with fraudulent use of the mails in the sale of mining stocks, were read in court today to show that Meyers objected to the advertising methods employed by Wisner. The letters concerned the promotion and sale of the stock of the Black Oak gold mine.
 You say Gin the advertisements) that 1t Is absolutely certain that the Black Ore mine contains seven mil lion tons Of ore," one of the letters read. and you should know that the figure is way out of proportion. Had you said one million tons 1t would have been about correct"
 In the same letter Meyers wrote:
 T must tell you again that you must not misrepresent anything that am connected with. as any proposi- ton I go into will always have enough merit to stand on its four feet"

MONEY NEEDED FOR
 INAUGURAL PARADE.
War Department Has Not Enough tc
 Transport Troops.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Major Gener- al Leonard Wood, chief of staff, who has just been named as chief marshal of the approaching inaugural parade, has begun to outline his plans for a military, naval and civic demonstra- tion.
 General Woods purpose is to make the Wilson inaugural parade as well balanced as possible in the matter of the representation of the cavalry, in- fantry and artillery of the army. the bluejackets and marines of the navy and adequate and liberal representa- tion of the national guard and well proportioned civic display.
 One of the features of the plan is to gather in Washington several thou sand troops from the various army posts, probably as far west as Chicago and south to Atlanta, as well as the entire cadet corps and midshipmen battalion from their respective acade- mics. This will involve the war de- partment In considerable expense on account of transportation and as that particular appropriation has been greatly reduced owing to recent ex- tensive changes of station of officers and troops, 1t may be necessary to apply to congress immediately upon it's reconvening next week for a deficiency appropriation.

A BIG OCEAN LINER BURNS Al SEA
Steamer Conso!s, From Galveston
With a Valuable Cargo, Sinks.
Crew Taken or In Safety.

Norfolk, Va.--The British steamer
Consols, cotton laden from Galveston
for Hamburg, flame-swept in a long,
futile race for port, sank Sunday forty
miles south of Cape Henry. Her
crew OF thirty-four men, refugees on
the British steamer Castle Eden. were
landed at Newport News.
1t was another triumph for inter
communication between ocean craft,
for the Castel Eden, headed from Sa-
vannah for Danish ports, picked up
the wireless call for help from the
imperiled crew on the Consols and
rushed to their assistance. The bat.
tleship New Jersey, on her way north
from the Guantanamo drill grounds,
also heard the call.
The New Jersey sent the first word
to shore of the rescue OF the men by
the Castle Eden after the fire, which
had started early Saturday morning
and had gained such Roadway as to
imperil the lives of the crew. The
revenue cutter Onondaga stood by the
burning vessel as it sank.
