"SCOTTY'S" MINE IS A MYTH

Death Valley Scotty" told a Los
Angeles grand jury the other day that
the president of a life insurance com
pany had grubstaked him for years,
and that a New York mining engineer
put up the $4,000 which Scotty paid
for the special train In which the
Death Valley man made his spectacu-
lar trip across the continent several
years ago.
Scotty also testified that he had
tried TO persuade the officers OF the
Death Valley Scotty Gold Mining and
Developing company TO locate a few
mining claims in Death Valley, In or
der to give the mining scheme the ap-
pearance OF genuineness, but alleged
that they refused to do SO, saying it
was unnecessary.
Scotty told the grand jury that his
hole in the ground down in Death Val
ley" Is a myth, which has been used
for years to fill the pockets of the pro-
moters.

WOULD LIMIT APPEALS.
Wickersham Advises Congress r.
garding Commerce Matters.

Attorney General Wickersham has ad-
vised Congress that he does not approve
any proposition to give shippers blan-
ket right of appeal to the Commerce
Court from all so-called negative rulings
of the interstate commerce commission.
He favors appeals only from such deci-
sions as involve questions of law. At the
request OF congressional committees. the
Attorney General has criticised numerous
bills intended to extend the right of APP
peal to shippers.
Mr.. Wickersham makes 1t plain that
shippers should not be permitted TO APP
peal on questions of fact as TO the reason
ableness of their requests for reductions
In rates III cases where the commission
denies the relief. The appeal should lie
only when the commission refuses to de-
crease a tariff because of it's supposed
want of Jurisdiction. The lawful power OF
the interstate commerce commission &c
act in the premises should, the Attorney
General says, be determined by court.

REPAIRS TO SMALL CRAFT.
Launches Being Prepared for Cruz.
ing on the River.

The power launch Rosalie. belonging
to Capt Jack Hendley, has been hauled
out on the marine railway at Kegan' s
boatyard for attention to her hull in prep
aration for rcsuming summer cruising
service on the river. 1t is stated that
later in the season the launch will leave
here for an extended cruise to the lower
Potomac of two or three weeks duration.
Capt Charles Hahn has purchased a
large dory, which he will fit with a gaso
line engine and will use tender to his
larger launch. The boat is at the boat
house foot of 18th street southwest, to
be mad eready for the installation OF her
engine, which is to be of six horsepower.
This power will give the boat excellent
speed and make her available for short
cruises on the river.
The launch Canaoa. belonging to Capt.
T. c. Ketcham, which was on fire While
lying in the harbor Sunday afternoon,
broke some of her piping leading overheard
and Sunday night she nearly filled with
water. When discovered early Monday
morning she was nearly ready to sink,
and was brought into shoal dock to
keep her afloat She will be hauled out
for repairs Capt. Ketcham states that
the damage done to his craft by the FIRE
will amount to only about $50.

CRABS ARE PLENTIFUL.
Large Consignments Coming Into
City From River Points.

Receipts OF hard-shelled crabs in this
city from the lower Potomac grabbing
grounds on the increase. Yesterday the
steamers brought up in all 235 barrels
consigned to the dealers here. These are
said to have been the heaviest receipts
for one day so far this season. Twenty
two packages of soft crabs were also re-
ceived at the same time. The crews of
the tugboats that visit the lower river
say that crabs are plentiful and that in
the Yeocomico river one fisherman caught
eight barrels in a few hours work one
morning in the latter part of last week.
Better prices. it is claimed. are being
received from the Baltimore dealers than
from those in this city, and as a conse-
uUence the bulk of the crabs are sent to
that market or to the crab picking
houses at Crisfield and other points on
the eastern shore of Maryland. Hard
crabs this morning brought from $1.2o to
81 per barrel and soft-shelled ones from
so cents to 20 cents per dozen.

MISSIONARY AGENTS LEAVE.
Conclude Conferences Over Chris
tians in Korea.

After a series of satisfactory confer
ences with the Japanese ambassador.
President Taft and Secretary of State
Knox regarding the conditions surround
ing Christians in Korea. five representa-
tives Of Protestant foreign missions left
Washington last evening. They express
ed to the japanese ambassador their con-
Germ for the Korean Christians who are
accused of completely in anti-Japanese
conspiracies.
Ambassador viscount Chinda while in
dicating that the conference with the
missionary representatives was satisfac-
tory, would not discuss the matter. He
took the attitude that it would be i'm
proper for him to make any statement
while the conspiracy cases are on trial
in the Japanese courts. The Secretary
of State, however. after long talk with
the mission representatives, said that he
had Endorsed their method of taking up
the Korean matter through the japanese
ambassador.

In 1907 said Mr.. Donaldson this

vacation at White Sulphur Springs. While
there the landlord of the hotel where /

Beautiful Moonlight Effects.

well. who has made ascensions and
fights in all parts of the country and
under all conditions.
But this trip" said Capt. Honeywell
this morning. was one Of the most in
teresting | have ever made. The cloud
scape' we saw Sunday night. while pass
ing over the mountains. was beyond ques-
ton the most beautiful picture l ever
saw and ] never expect to see Its equal
this side of the pear!y gates. even II /
see il on the other side.
We were between two cloud strata,
with the full moon shining through the
breaks in the clouds. From time to time
the vapors would take on the form OF
trees in full foliage, with little paths
running between the trees. and the moon
light falling through. as II does In a
glade in the woods. Then the ever-shift-
ing clouds would take on other forms.
and We would see what seemed 10 be
long stretches Of hills ard valleys, with
perhaps the semblance of q dense wood
in the background. and the whole pic
ture bathed in the rays of glorious
ing panorama OF cloudland for hours,
never growing tired or sleepy in the
least.
Capt Honeywell expects TO take part in
another balloon race in this country be-
fore So iling for Germany. The chamber
OF commerce OF Colorado Springs has ar
ranged a race In which a number OF aero
nauts will participate, the race to start
August IS Many of the aeronauts, Capt.
Honeywell included. express the belief
that some astonishing records may be
made on this flight. as there is a chance
that some of the balloons may be carried
into or over the Rocky mountains.

Two Unpleasant Features.
There are two unpleasant features
about ballooning.' said Capt. Honey
well. "One is the fact that it is diff
cult, il not impossible. to sleep. On
the present trip neither Mr.. Donaldson
or myself had more than a few winks
of sleep-just little nodding maps, you
might say-from the time we left nan
SaS City until we reached Washington.
That is hard; thirty-five hours or so
without sleep puts a fellow all in. The
other is the heat. A balloon moves
with the wind, of course. and there is
as0lutely not breath of air to help
one keep cool. Then the sun beats
down on the aeronaut with nothing to
intercept the rays. and the rarefied
atmosphere OF the upper levels al
lows the heat to get In its best work.

Balloon Sent to Kansas City.
The Uncle Sam which has capacity
of $4,000 cubic feet, was packed and
shipped back to Kansas City from Manas-
sas yesterday. Capt. Honeywell has not
decided as to whether he will take the
| big balloon TO Germany for his flight
there. 1t is practically certain. however.
that Mr.. Donaldson will make the trip
as Capt Honeywelrs aid. The trip just
