Journal of Commerce will tomorrow is
sue its October < otton report, the final
one of the season. The points of inquiry

compared with last month.
2. Increase or de-rease in yield com
pared with last year
3. Tlte proportion of crop picked.
No attempt is made at ■ stimuli: g the
yield; that amusement is left t > readers
The remarks of correspondents are so
much better than percentage reports that
we have refrain- J from averaging the
latter. The consensus of 1.275 reports
made by correspondents indicate a de- <
crease of 6 points in condition during
the month a decrease in yi-ld and of
57 per cent on the crop pi-ked. the av< r
age date of replies being October 21.
These reports antedate the recent frost
wave, which seems to have done little
damage except to top crops and conse
qnen: y affects the above returns but
slightly.
Reports from the who!, cotton belt
show weather conditions to be mor. fa
vorable for picking. Ev n had tile crop
not been from two to four week late,
pi.-king would have been delayed by a
scarcity of labor. Last year at this time
our reports show the ci-'p to have b-en
at,out three-quarters picked, compared
with 57 per eent now. The remaining
45 per cent has been subjected in many |
localities to frosts, in numerous instances |
killing ones Correspondents’ opinions '
regarding the effects of frost are con- I
dieting, but it is very ofteu regarded as ,
beneficial
What damage frost has done is chiefly |
confined to the top crop, the projects

versally poor, principally on account of
the lateness of the season. There is quite,
a general tendency to market cotton aj

Correspond, nits’ remarks, as distin
guished from their perc* nt.ige reports,
are not gloomy if the complaints of top
crop prospects are eliminated. Arkansas
and the territories may be < xee.pted, how
ever. The:-- the season has b-en so far
backward that the crop has been very
late in opening, picking having just com
menced in some locailtl*. s. and the per
cent already picked being less than in
any other states.
Advices from Texas are conflicting to
such .in extent as to leave a reasonable
doubt whether that state will not. yield
as much as last year.

SHIPBUILDING TRUST WAS
ARTISTIC SWINDLING MNE
Property Was Worth Less Than $13,000,000 but Was
Launched at Valuation of Nearly $70,000,000.
Wholesale Plunder Followed the Combina
tion; the Earnings of Bethlehem Steel
Company Were Withheld in a De
liberate Attempt To Wreck
Shipbuilding Trust.
New York. November I—Sensational allegations of misstatement, fal
sifying and fraud in the organization and flotation of the United States
Shipbuilding Company, of attempts to mislead and deceive the Investing
public by erroneous prospectus statements and of a deliberate plan to
wreck the company by withholding the earnings of the Bethlehem Steel
Company, are contained in the report of Receiver .lames Smith, Jr., of the
United States Shipbuilding Company, made public here today.
The report concludes with the recommendation that suit be brought
against all persons who received stock of the company without paying full
value therefor, including the promoters of the consolidation, the vendors
of the constituent plants and Charles M. Schwab, to recover from them
such amoum as is necessary to pay the debts of the company in full.
Receiver Smith also recommends the sale of the Crescent ship yard
plant in New Jersey and the Harlan &. Hollingsworth plant at Wilmington,
Del., subsidiary plants in partial operation, to avoid further loss by depre
ciation. and the enforcement of a receivership for the Bethlehem stock
held by the United States Shipbuilding Company.
In the words of the report, the organization of the company Is char
acterized as ‘‘an artistic swindle,” Receiver Smith stating that the value of
the plants, their earnings ami working capital, given in allege! thorough
report of exact accountants, vary so much from actual figures “as to impel
the belief tha. the figures were wilfully misstated.”
It is extremely doubtful, says the receiver, if such accountants’ reports
were submitted at the organization of the company; that the organization
was effected by “dummy” stockholders, directors and officers; that state
ments in the prospectus issue 1 on June 14, 1902, were incorrect; that for
property worth $12,141,510 the shipbuilding company paid in stock and
bonds ?(>7,997,00d.
The receiver adds that “the accommodating directors of the United
States Shipbuilding Company in acquiring these companies deliberately
gave away many millions of dollars in the slock and bonds of their com
pany,” "'wholesale plunder,” the receiver terms it, to a few persons and
that, so far as the Bethlehem Steel Company is concerned, its earnings
have been withheld in a deliberate attempt to wreck the United State Ship
building Company.
Tne report deals fully with the name of Charles M. Schwab, and the na
ture of the Bethlehem transaction, says Mr. Smith, is such as “to justify
him.” (Mr. Schwab) in saying that h e did not sell the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany, but took over the United States Shipbuilding Company, the directors
of that company giving him $30,000,000 in stocks and bonds for taking it off
their hands.

IFIRE DAMAGES VATICAN.
POPE WATCHES FLAMES.
Rome, November I. —Fire broke out at
J half past 8 this evening in that portion
i of tie Vatican containing the hall of in
| s riptions, where the pope gives his au
| diene's and which is adjacent to the fa
mous Piancoteea art gallery of pictures.
The alarm caused much consternation and
excitement aj the Vatican. Strenuous
efforts were made to control the flames
and the tire-men of Rome were called to
! lend their help.
At a quarter past I I the fire was un
der control. No Ilves were lost.
No idea of the damage can yet bo ob
tained,
Tiie pope came to the scene in person
and remained until arrangements to fight
the tire were completed.
The tire caused a greater sensation in
Romo than any other event since the
death of Pope Leo. Fires In Rome are
exceptional because of the heavy stone
and brick construction of tiie buildings,
rhe first intimation of lire was li.id
when smoke was seen issuing from tiie
apartment of M. Marie, whhli is located
above that of Father liiirle, the librarian,
who lives over the library itself M.
I’.hrle is a celebrated French restorer of
aniieii't manuscripts and illuminated
books. Jle is at present engaged in
eopying work, and his first reproductions
have been selected for part of the Vat
ican's exhibit, at the St. Louis exhibition.
It is supposed M. Marie forgot to take
proper precautions with his kitehen tire,
whicli probably blazed up and ignited
some near-by hangings. Thus tiie fire
started, and it rapidly assumed such pro
portions that the gendarmes, who were
the first on the scene, gave an immediate
general alarm.

rooms of Father Ehrle, part of the library

IN THE OLD DAYS.
How close to our hearts are the memo
ries of our childhood. When you were
a barefooted little urchin running in the
grass, and munching green apples, you
were able to digest anything and feel all
right the next day. Sunshine and good
air gave you an appetite. The Kneipp
cure of Germany is essentially the prac
tice of simple life—living close to nature.

Running barefooted
in the grass several
miles in the morn
ing before breakfast
is the simple pre
scription. People
visiting Carlsbad for
the water are told to
walk miles in the
fresh air before
breakfast and eat
little early in the
day. For many peo
ple it is impossible
to get out in the
sunshine and good
air, and for those ■
who are doomed to
sit for hours within
four walls, perhaps
alongside of con
sumptives or those
suffering from ca
tarrh or other dis- ‘
ease, it
means
sickness
and ill
health.
Indiges
tion is
only one
' S' 1
of the many symptoms of impure blood
as well as a disordered condition of the
stomach. Forty years ago. Dr. R. V. .
Pierce, chief consulting physician to the
Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at ;
Buffalo, N. Y., found that certain herbs,
barks and roots manufactured, without I
the use of alcohol or opiates, into a con
centrated extract, made a stimulating i
tonic for the stomach, helped the diges
tion and assimilation of the food and
eradicated poisons from the blood. This
is nature’s cure for indigestion, and by ’
correcting the stomach, and thereby ■
feeding tiie blood on pure materials, tb.e i
red blood corpuscles are increased and
the bodv established in a healthy state.
No one suffers from catarrh who has
plenty of red blood corpuscles and a
good digestion. Catarrh in all its forms !
is a stagnation of tiie blood. Introduce i
pure red blood into the system and ■
health is assured. Dr. Pierce’s Golden ;
Medical Dis-overy has borne the stamp
of public upjir iv.il for the past third of
a century, ini wili do more to imjirove
the health than any other reine ly. Dr.
Pierce does not believe in a tonic made I

condition of the Christian population —is
removed, the sultan has decided to again
draw strangers to ills capital. Ho has
abolished beggary and beggars by an
hade, and the police have actually swept
the streets of the human vermin that or
dinarily make them hideous by exhibit
ing cancers, leprous sores, etc., in order
to loosen the purse strings of passers by.
All beggars who can prove that Con

Makes a Speech in His
Own Behalf.
New Haven, Conn., Octqbcr 26.-A.rgm
meats in the Philo Bennett will case,
the testimony in which, including the un
sealing of a lettflr In which a bequest
had been made to William J. Bryan, was
presented lust week, was heard by Judge
Cleveland, in the probate court tod.:
Judge Henry Stoddard, of this city, conn
sei for Mrs. Bennett, the widow; Mr
Bryan, in his own behalf, and Henry <■
Newton, his counsel, addressed the cqiirt.
In tiie course of his argument. Judge
Stoddard arraigned Mr. Bryan in sexero
terms. Mr. Bryan In reply said that
if Mr. Bennett could stand being malign'd
for his political beliefs, he could end.ire
criticism for following his friend's wi.-da
When court opened, counsel for Mr:-’.
Bennett had several documents, previous
ly read in the case, reread, so that they
might become a part of the records. Mr
Bryan identifying them as they were in
turn handed to him.
Bryan Expresses Surprise.
One of the letters which Mr. Brv.i i
identified as his was written to M:
Bennett October 21. In it, Mr. Bryan
expressed surprise at the course tab- ■. i
Mrs. Bennett in con sting tiie wlb
lie wrote:
“From tiie conduct of your at.oi' '
am satisfied that, being uiie "t tin
democrats who left us in 1396. and
a.t all in sympathy with the polit.'-'.
view's of your husband and mjs
willing to defeat Mr. Bennett’s purpose if
it can be done.”
He says he is satisfied Mr.- Bennetts
action is due to the “persun-i->n >t 1
lawyer unfriendly to the political v
of Mr. Bennett and mys if ’’
After the letter had been read ”
admitted, Mr. Stoddard asked Mr. B:

Benin it s attorney did you ref. r to in this
letter?”
"From the first, time that I link' d w. ~

Stoddard Attacks Bryan.
Att.rney Stoddard, in his argument,
re;’ rri'd t > tiie f.ict that both Mr. and
M: - Bryan are lawyers. He said in
part:
Mr. Bryan and his wife, with Mr. Ben
nett, arranged in Lincoln. Nebr.. a draft
of this provision and framed tiiis letter
which dispi'S'il of $50,000 of Mr. Benne’t':
money. No m-mber of Mr. Bennett's
family was present, or notified of tiie
fact. Mr. Bryan has told your lionor
that Mr Bt'iimlt want'd to make i
different disposition of tin- $50,000. to
give it to him absolutely. Mr. Bryan
would not have it. and tiie reason is
plain. Mr. Bryan L a lawyer. Tiie com
mon law says that when a lawyer draws
a win In which lie obtains a benetaction.
he must show that ihe intliieii' ■ which liu
exerted was not undue. Is it any won
der then that when .Mr. Bryan found
biin.-i'lf ■ "nfronred with this situation he
would net permit Mr. Bennett to make
tiial 1 ..’oi’l.-ion li'.MC'ctly to himself, and
s, this subterfuge was substituted in
place of it? But this scaled letter does
not state Mr. Bennett’s will. It states
Mr. Bryan's will. A solemn letter, ad
<ir.' -.'l 1" til" Wife of Mr. Bennett, se
er-led from li'T the fa-t that SIQ.OOO
was going tn th'- wife of this man. Whv
v. ,< it ? D i it i nt'-r into the I'aleulltnni
that Mrs. Bennett might object? Mi
Bryan know perfectly well that the pr -
visions of that section of the will are
prescribed by law.
.Mr Stoddni'd spoke of the Chicago kt
tir as a last despairing effort and sa;
Brvan was dc-'perntoly driven by uva
rice to get th- $50,000.
Mr. Bryan's Reply.
Mr Bryan rose to Id - feet as Mr. Stod
dard corn hided, and in stillness Unit wa
almcst oppressive began speaking. He
said in part:
"it is incumbent upon me. to respond to
so much of tiie argument as comes tin
dcr the head of facts. I wrote the lett r
tiiat 1 did bevaii;' 1 believed other can.-"
that: [aw inspired him. There is no rail.-'
for sccrc-i’y in tills will. Mr. Stoddard
seems to feel that every one should b ive
been invited in when it was written. Bit
that is not the way wills ar.- prepai'u
There is no evidence that Mr. Bennett
ever consulted me upon law matt' rs
Our friendship was personal, political and
in tiie way or business."
For the remainder of his speech. Mr
Bryan discussed Mr. Bennett's return
New York, how ho executed the will,
placed it in a safe deposit vault and lett
it there without, alteration three years,
although he had every opportunity t'<
make such changes as he might have, de
sired.
Attorney Newton argued the law for
Bryan’s contention. Judge Stoddard then
moved that the sealed letter and tiie
clause in the will relating to it be dis
regarded in probating the wiil.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfoet
i ant and purifier in nature, but few real
ize its value when taken Into the human
system for tiie same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it i£ not a drug at
ail. but simply absorbs the gases and im
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
sate cathartic.
it absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in tiie stomach and bowels; it dis
intects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
AH druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal ami the most for the money is in
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered w.uow
Charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in * tablet form or rather in the form of
large pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coil ’being mixed with honey.
The -.lily use of these lozenges will
=mon tell in a much improved condition of
the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
: beauty of it is. that no possible harm can
' result from their continued use. but on
the contrary, great lienetit.
\ Buffalo phvsfcian in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: “I advise Stu
art's Absorbent Lozenges to ill patients
sufferinig from gas In the stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat: I
also believe the liver is greatly bene
fited by th" daily use of them; they cost
but twenty-five cents a box at drug
stores, and although in some sense a pat
ent preparation, yet I believe 1 got. more
end better charcoal in Stuart’s Absorbent
T ozonges than In any of the ordinary
charcoal tablets."
