Washington SANDER Suit
Causes His Letters To Be
Put In Evidence

Tacoma, Wash, May s. Reading
from historical works taken from the
public library, Attorney Pendleton en-
bodied in his argument before fne Jury
which is hearing the case of Paul R.
Haffer, charged with libeling George
Washington, the statements of authors
upon which the young socialist says he
based his allegations that the first pres.
ident of the United States exploited
slaves and that he was a profane and
blasphemous man and an inve %rate
drinker.
The quotations stated that Washing
ton drank several glasses of Madeira
and a pint of beer daily over a period
Of 25 years, that he had a distillery in
his own yard and carried a liquor chest
throughout the revolutionary war. A
letter said to have been written by the
great soldier to a sea captain, directing
him to take a negro slave to the West
Indies and trade him for a hogshaed of
rum some lines and the balance in
''good old spirits" was included.
Thomas jefferson was quoted as record
ing Washington using profanity at a
cabinet meeting, and other references
spoke of his use of profane language.
The defense closed this afternoon
and the case is expected to go to the
jury late today.

The Music of Thunder.

The bass of thunder is considerably
lower than the lowest sound produced
in an orchestra-belowt the zero of mu-
sic, we call it, at which all positive APP
prehension of musical sound ceases and
our senses are merely conscious of a
roar. In observing the music of thun-
der our attention. however, may be
most protitably directed to the express
sion rather than to the notes. The mu-
steal diminuendo is more perfectly rep
resented by thunder than by any 9TH
er form of sound in nature. After the
first clap is over the ear will pursue
with pleasure the rolling away and
gradual fainting of the peal until at an
undesirable distance it sinks into ST.
lence.

DAMAGED GOODS
AFTER GOING THROUGH FLOOD,
CARS OF MERCHANDISE
ARRIVE HERE.

Mute evidence of the seriousness
of the %cloudburst and flood at North
McGregor, Ia, on June l, which de-
stroyed hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of property, vas
brought to the city yesterday in two
Milwaukee railway freight cars. The
cars, which came from Chicago, and
which owing to a cruel prank of the
elements, were more than two weeks
in transit, are being unloaded here
today.
A good idea of the height the
flood waters attained may be had
from the fact that marks on both the
inside and outside of the cars show
that the cars were awash several
feet above the bottom of the car
doors. Seeping through doors and
cracks, water half filled the cars, do
ing much damage to the merchandise
they contained. The cars arriving
here contained a wide range of goods
including tea. furniture and station
cry. A considerable part of the ship
ments was ruined.
Among the sixty-eight loaded ears
caught in the flood were two con
tanning sugar, consigned to Eureka.
The water dissolved a large part OF
the sugar, and the upper bags OF
sugar, which were saved, had to be
pried up with erowbars.
The question has arisen as to vac
will stand the burden of the loss
II. f. Brock, claim agent for the
railway company. who was in the
city last night, said that the com
pany would not assume responsible
ity. 1t is said the company will hold
that the flood was an act of provi-
dence.
