Crawford threw back the I'D and
took out some faded flowers, q neck
lace Of scarabs and two packets OF
letters. each tied neatly with blue rib
bon. He crushed the smaller packet
70 his lips.
Having fancied himself upon firm
ground, Haggerty felt like one whom
a hurricane had whirled into mid
ocean. A faded bouquet and 9 bundle
OF letters! He saw seven thousand
dollars take wings after the manner OF
butterflies he was wont to pursue
wren q boy. Then he saw Crawford
cit down and lay his head upon his
arms
A bell rang. The arms in Haggerty's
grasp Jumped instinctively. Crawford
rose and stood waiting. The bell rang
again, violently.
Who the devil can that ber' said
Crawford aloud. His valet had two
sets OF keys and never rang q bell. He
reached for the speaking-tube which
hung ct the side of the desk. Hello!
What's wanted? ForbesH Why,
come up!" He dropped the tube and
pressed q button, an electrical con.
triVance that unlocked both the hall
doors.
A minute passed. Haggerty gnawed
his stubby mustache. Through the
doorway came q young man and q

Crawford leaned with his hands
upon the desk. He was as white as
she was. Forbes turned his back and

One great feature OF the nineteenth

extraordinary progress Of science and
the Interpretation OF nature.

We we're able to make large progress,

II science won successes in the In.

the conquest over nature meant not

 In the Birmingham District
 The bill claims further that the Steel corporation also controls a large pro- portion, of other goods, "and very large proportion of the commercially available ore in the Lake Superior and Birmingham districts all of which, says the bill in its charge of error on the part of the district court, was brought about, not as the result of normal growth and development, but through the wholesale combination of competitive plants and businesses"
 The district court is charged with error again in failing to enjoin ''any renewed attempt" on the part of the Steel corporation and its subsidiaries ito maintain the prices of iron and steel products by concert of action with their competitors as through the so called Gary dinner movement inaugur- ated by Ebert H, Gary, executive head of the corporation, in 1907.

 OFFICERS CAPTURED
 BY BRITISH CRUISER
Yacht Eclipse Taken at Sea With Six Officers on French Leave Aboard
 and Vessel Sunk

New York, October 2s.-The six officers of the interned German raider, Kronprinz Wilhelm, who escaped from Norfolk, Va, October 10, on the yacht Eclipse, were captured at sea by a British warship, ac- cording to information in a letter re- ceived here today. The letter was sent to William Wolff, New York manu- facturer, by his mother-in-law, a pas senger on the steamer Bermudian. which left New York for Hamilton last Wednes- day.
 The letter said the Bermudian was stopped short distance from it's destina- tion by British cruiser. which engaged the passenger vessel in wireless conver- sation. The substances of the talk as told by the wireless operator of the Der mudian, was that the cruiser. the iden- tity of which is not given. had overtaken the missing Eclipse at sea, made prisoners of the German officers and sunk the yacht. The letter gives no other details.
 Reports have been current in shipping circles here for several days that the yacht had been captured by a British cruiser believed to have been his ma jesty s steamship Melb ourne

Sweeping Reorganization of French Cabinet Under Way

(Continued from Page One> impression prevailing in political circles.
 As to New Cabinet Information now available indicates that M. Briand will become foreign minister, as well as premier. with Jules Cambon, who was ambassador to Germany at the outbreak of the war, as his principal sec retary.
 In addition to M vivianl. probable designations are: 1 Minister of War-Gen. J. s. Gallieni,
 military governor of Paris. Minister of Marine-Rear Admiral La Gaze.
 Minister of -Etienne Clemen- tel. former minister of agriculture and 1 finance.
 Minister of Commerce-L. l.. Klotz. for mer minister of the interior and finance, or Joseph Thierry. under secretary fin the ministry of war. Minister of Instruction-Emile Combes, former premier. The other members of the present cabi- net, according to this programme, will continue in their present positions. The Journal states that there will be six ministers of state without portfolios, of whom four will be senators and two deputies.
 It is also said the under secretaryships will not be filled except in the case of the minister of war, in which department Albert Thomas is to be continued in off, fice,s in charge of the output of muni- tions.
 Conferences relative to the ministerial situation were continued during the morn ing with the idea of reshaping the cabi- net. so to command united support. In- dications were that the general features of the readjustment had been virtually decided upon. Viviani Needed Rest The belief was expressed by persons in close touch with the situation that
 Premier Vivianf's long service had
 taxed his strength severely, and that
 he desired to rest as we'll as to bring
 forward some strong figure, who would
 unite all clements as his successor.
 It is expected that M. Millerand, min-
 ister of war, will be associated with the new cabinet. According to list issued by the
 Havas agency giving the names of the members of the cabinet as it says it learns that that body will be. provi- sionally constituted, adds Charles D. Freycinet as the vice president of the cabinet and minister of state with Prof. Paul Painleve installed as tho minister of public instruction and in- ventions: Jules Moline, former pre- mier, will be minister of agriculture, while either Rene Renoult or Gabriel Grist 'Hau will be minister of labor. As ministers without portfolio the list carries the names of former Pre- miers Emile Combes and Leon Bour geois, together with Denys Cochin and jules Guezde. now ministers, without portfolio.
 The Chamber of Deputies had brief session late today but no announce
 ment was made concerning the cabinet
 Reorganization.
