John Paul Jones was something
more than a a-fighter. After his
great battle he knew brilliant days in
Paris, where Queen Marie Antoinette
paid him attention and invited him to
sit beside her at the opera. All the
great ladies ran after him, and quite

his address, polite in his manners,
vastly civil, understands all the eti-
quette of lady's toilet as perfectly
as he does the mast, sails and rigging
Of his ship. Under all the appearance
of this softness he is bold, enterpris-

trial was resumed of five former Off

using the mails to defraud, before
Judge Wilmer in the United States
District Court.
This literature, which consists Of
bulletins and pamphlets setting forth
glowing accounts of the development
Of the company's plantations in Mex

the Government to show that the de-
PENDANTS made false statements of the
existing conditions of their holdings
When the jury has become familiar
with this literature the Government
will call witnesses who made an in
vestigation of the plantations and
who will testify that the reports were
nearly all false and misleading.
Bulletins issued by the company
from at intervals beginning in the
year 1907 were read to the jury yes
terday. These were nearly all s'mi-

cording to these papers the company
had extensive groves of bananas,
oranges and grapefruit about to be
produced, while the San Pablo River,
on the edge of the plantation, con-
tanned the finest varieties of fish of
high commercial value.
One bulletin. issued in September
1907, stated that 30,O00000 tronical
plants were being cultivated, while

Later on the stockholders we're in

by the company had brought eighteen
cargoes of mahogany and cedar logs
to New York. It was asserted that al
least one cargo a month would be
taken from the plantation. The Gov
ernment alleges that this lumber was
not cut from the company's plantation
but bought at one of the Mexican
ports.
4 Numerous other bulletins and
pamphlets of like nature were read
by Mr. Swartley and his assistant
Jasper Y Brinton. When trial is re
sumed today it is expected that tho
reading of documentary evidence will
