We honor you for your years,
Captain NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. true
Here's to you: three hearty cheers.
And now as the century mark you
near
What a good long road it seems,
The winding road Of the smile and
tear
That led from your boyhood dreams.
May you reach and round the censIry
out,
And add a few years more;
May you still keep well, be up and
about
And blessings for you be in store.

Addre,.e. Are Short.

The short length Of time consumed
by all attorneys in the closing argu-
ments to the jury was q general sur
prise. Attorney Hartzell made the last
address for the defense and made a
strong plea for the youth he has been
defending. He urged the jury to de-
termine that Anderson acted in self
defense and tried to increase the i'm
preston that witnesses for the defense
testified that Jacoby had been drink
ing and was apparently under the in
fluence of liquor.
Great crowds thronged the court
room again this morning and after
noon making it necessary for deputy
sheriffs to patrol the corridors and
keep people OF the stairways. The
crowd was largest Immediately after
court convened this afternoon and
until the corridors were cleared, men
and women almost fought to get to tn,
court room.

BROKEN THREADS.

6RON6N I0HGAOSs
A fleecy cloud swept overhead
On friendships sky.
Scarce larger than woven thread,
A breath, a sigh.
Its shadow was transparent dew,
That cast itself twixt me and you,
SO silently we never knew
That it was nigh.
A single breath might have dispelled
The cloud DER head,
A single word might have withheld
The shadows spread.
But though each heart with pain was
numb,
Each eye was turned, each tongue was
dumb,
Though each longed for word to
come,
No word was said.
But Notwithstanding that each soul
With anguish cried,
The hearts Of us that should be warm,
We're filled with pride.
The clouds spread swift, until at last
All friendships Sky was overcast,
The shadows darkened as they pass.

Penalty Stumbling Block.

While attorneys for the state did
not express their views in that regard,
it is the impression of barristers dis
Interested in the case and Of the peo-
pie who have fair knowledge Of court
proceedings that the penalty to be i'm
posed upon Anderson is the stumbling
block that had thus far caused the
jury to fail in reaching verdict.
None OF the attorneys for the state
asked for the death penalty, but ask
ed the jury to find the defendant
guilty and asked them that II they did
find him guilty to return either a
death penalty, a verdict Of life I'M
prisonment or a sentence Of not less
than fourteen years in the penitep-
tiary.
1t is now believed that no agreement
can be reached as to the penal servi-
tude justifiable in the case or possibly
that the jury is divided over the ques-
ton of whether or not Anderson acted
in self defense when he killed Marshal
Jacoby.

verdict IL Expeeted,

Attorneys for both the state and de-
tense said that they were confident
that the Jury would reach an agree.
|ment and return verdict before noon
today. They refused to believe that
the jury will hang.
Many rumors have been current on
the streets since the jury retired.
Last night 1t was generally report
led that verdict had been reached
and that the jury was fling into the
court room; there was mad rush to
the court house but those foremost in
the mob found the portals OF the
building were locked and while they
were trying to gain an entrance
deputy sheriff informed them that the
rumor was without foundation and
that no verdict had been reached.
AS late as midnight people lurked on
the streets and watched for light in
the court room that would be signal
that the jury had reached an agree
ment. It was about midnight that the
statement was given out that the jury
was getting ready to retire for the
night.

ALLIES ENJOYS RECEIVE
THREATENING LETTERS
European Bankers Guarded by New
York SIeuths-Sig Loan Protested
Government Won't Interfere.

New York, Sept. 17.-Alarmed by
the increased food of threatening let
tiers that continued to pour in on the
Anglo-French finance commissioners
at the Hotel Biltmore, the hotel man
agement doubled it's force of detective
guards and advised the commission
ers not to announce their movements
in advance.
Every member of the commission
is followed by two guards wherever
he goes, and they go about separately
to divide the danger of attack by anti
allies fanatics.
More than fifty threatening letters
have been received by the commits
sion.
According to information, the Ger
man attack on the proposed loan was
launched from the cover of American
citizens of German parentage, nativ-
ity or sympathizers, although in real
ity these citizens were not the prime
movers in the agitation.
This campaign, according to reports
from sources regarded as reliable,
contemplated heavy Withdrawals,
wholesale in extent, from banks par
ticipating in the loan, as an express
sion of the displeasure of pro-German
depositors.
Washington, Sept. IL Protests
against the Anglo-French credit loan
being negotiated in this country were
received at the White House in tele-
grams from various parts of the coun-
try.
It was intimated that the admins

les. Order Shutting out Cattle.

Test Order Shutting Out Cattle.
Wisconsin cattle men, despite an
order OF the Panama-Pacifc stock
show department that animals affect
ed by the National Dairy show quar-
antine a year ago will not be entered
for display at exposition, have sent
their entries to San Francisco.
The action raises the question OF
whether the exposition officials have
the power to overrule the bill OF
health given the guaranteed stock by
the United States bureau Of animal
husbandry inspectors.
Many head of Wisconsin's best
prize stock were quarantined in the
Chicago yards following the outbreak
OF the foot-and-mOuth disease. They
were held there until about June when
the federal officials gave the Wiscon-
sin cattle bill of health and released
them from quarantine.
The message was received from the
San Francisco officials stating that
no cattle would be received that had
been quarantined at the Chicago
show, or that had been exhibited at
shows since where Quarantined cattle
had been exhibited.
The Wisconsin Live Stock Breed
ers' association took the question up
and it was decided to make the Wis
consin entries regardless of the order
and put the entry up to the Panama
Pacific Officials
Wisconsin state fair officials accept
ing the federal inspectors clearance
Of guaranteed cattle and received
them at the state fair.
Several hundred other head of
stock were received and exhibited at
the same show. The Wisconsin Off
Gals considered the clearance of the
federal inspectors, following the rigid
enforcement Of restrictions to halt
the progress Of the foot-and-mouth
disease, sufficient ground to admit
the quarantined cattle to the Wiscon-
sin fair
Wisconsin stock men. accepting the
same credentials, shipped their stock
to the state fair.

American Products Declared For
feited to the Crown.
WERE DESTINED TO GERMANY
Prize Court Condemns sf5,0o0, 900
Worth of Supplies on Four Ships
Holds They Were to Be Used
by Enemy's Armies.

London, Sept. 18.-Chicago packers
were defeated in the British prize court
when that tribunal handed down a de-
cision on Thursday conf1scating TO the
crown large American cargoes taken
from merchantmen. The prize court
held that these cargoes were ultimate
ly destined for Germany, to be used by
that country for her army and navy.
The firms whose contentious were
overruIed by the court were Armour
& Co., Swift & Co., Nelson Morris &
Co. and the SchwartzchiId-S uIzberger
company.
At the conclusion of its decision the
court granted leave to appeal, provid-
ed $4,000 security was posted as Sc
curity for the costs of further pro-
ceedings.
The judgment was delivered by Sir
Samuel T. Evans, president of the
court. 1t involved the cargoes Of the
Norwegian steamships Kim, Alfred
Nobel, Observation-Disclosures and
FridIand.
sisting principally of American meat
products, are confscated, with the ex-
ception of small portion which the
court released to claimants.
The case has been pending for sew
eral months. The steamships were
seized late last November, and al
though efforts were made by the Amer
lean owners to obtain an early trial
the British authorities set the hear,
ing for June. The hearing closed last
month and judgment was reserved IN.
til yesterday.
In a lengthy Judgment Sir Samuel
said it was plain these ships were car.
Tying toward Copenhagen, when cap
tured, more than thirteen times the
amount of goods which under normal
circumstances would have been taken
to that port
That fact gave practical and over
whelming assurance that the goods
were intended to find their way to
Germany, although, of course, it did
not prove conclusively that they
were destined for an enemy of Great
Britain.
The meat cargoes, shipped for the
most part by the great American pack.
ing companies and valued by them at
$15,000,000, were found by the presi
dent to be destined, except for some
small items, not for consumption in
Denmark, but for delivery in Germany
He held that their eventual destina
ton was the German government, for
the use of its naval and military
forces. To rule otherwise, Sir Sam
uel said, would be to allow ones eyes
to be blinded by theories and techni
calities.
