Japan is floatin naw loans declares
the New York Commercial, for the
purpose of floating new merchant
ships.
In the south, if not elsewhere, ac
cording to the New York Stm, men do
not fall into contempt and negligence
because of their refusal of tho vulgar
role of self exploitation.
The lady on trial for murder who
In order to avoid error described her
own court costume for the report era,
suggests tho New York World, has a
swift instinct for detecting the rcaiiy
vital point of a trial.
Speaking off-hand, there are almost
a-thousand-and-one universities, col
leges tnd “schools” In this country that
offer courses of instruction In law and
confer law degrees on their graduates
under due regulations and restrictions,
maintains the New York Commercial.
Admission to the bar and authorization
to practise law In any state, county or
a more subordinate jurisdiction con
stitute quite another matter. Any per
son, roan or woman, who applies for
such privileges and passes the required
examinations, whether or not a “law
graduate" or any other graduate, ac
quires thereby a primary professional
status as good aa the best.
The Western Christian Advocate is
of the opinion that some of the minis
ters of the Methodist and other
churches would do well to break them
selves of the habit of unduly prolong
ing their syllables In prayer and ser
monff "Romo of them,” says the Ad
vocate,' "have fallen into bad ways
without being aware of It. What 1 b
the use of Inordinately drawing out
words like this; ‘And, O-a-o-h L-o-r-d,
w-e-e b-e-e-s-e-e-c-h Thee, etc.’ It is
unnatural, it tires the worshipper by
Its strains and monotony, it suggests
that Ihe minister is desperulely hold
ing on to his word until he can sum
mon some other thoughts. Simple but
reverent language, spoken in natural,
unaffected union ventlonalticd tones
will always be the most welcome to a
worshipping congregation."
I*^America nod Swope rhn see that
Japan is being caught in (he atrong
current of modem Industrial and com
mercial organization and is being
swept away from the old moorings,
declares the Cleveland leader. A Jap
an of factories and mills, machinery
and big corporations, wealth such as
the cotin try never before knew and a
grim Industrial grind strange to the
Japanese is coming into existence. The
whole color of Japanese life is chang
ing. Wealth is making itself the usual
object of worship in industrial and
commercial nations. Will lts votaries
and ihe victims of its bitter rivalries—
Ihe human sacrifices of wealth abused
and misdirected—emulate the feats of
arms which amazed the world in Ihe
siege of Port Arthur and the great
battles from Uao-Yang to Mukden?
El Caney should have a monument
to General Vara Del Hey, as the Span
ish club of Havana proposes, pleads
the New York Sun. His lent In de
fending the little town for ten hours
against a-n American force ten times
larger than his own was perhaps the
finest exhibition of valor that the war
records. He suceumber only to his
wounds and died a soldier's death. If
he had been ail American or a British
commander, his heroism would have
found an inspired singer, We are glad
to sec that American officers who serv
ed in Cuba desire -to subscribe to the
monument funds The gallautry of the
Spanish veteran has its niche in their
memories of the first of July. They
have done justice to the achievement of
Vara Del Rey, but be has not had hia
deserts from the American historian,
The New York American urges that
a recent French loan, which is one of
many similar Investments of Europe
in America, means that thousands of
people in France will be interested
henceforth in keeping account of the
eatiling capacity of an American rail
road running from the metropolis
tirough New England, Similarly
French gold is assisting in the devel
opment of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The United Slates government is at
present preparing a report of the in
vestments of American capital in tho
Dominion of Canada. In the past five
years more than fifty million dollars
of American money has been devoted
to building Yankee factories in Eu
rope. Fully one billion dollars of the
capital # of the United Slates is busy
developing the resources of Mexico.
European Investments in a like
amount have gene into South America.
Thus, while armies and fleets are be

world’s wealth are giving all countries
a common reason to work for universal

Those in Conspiracy With Holmes Got
Easy Money — Figures Once
Changed for Theodore Price.
When the trial of Edwin 8. Holmes,
Jr., for divulging information ae to
crop reports before being made pub
lic, was resumed In .Judge Stafford'a
court at Washington Tuesday, L. C.
Van Riper, the New York broker, con
tinued bis testimony, taking up his
story with relation to payments to
Haas and Holmes, repeat
ing much of what he had said Mon
day, but adding one Item at $25,000
paid to Peckham,
Questioned concerning the division
of the profits realised on the cotton
ginner*’ report for December, 1904,
Van Riper said there was $43,071 to
be distributed and that this sum was
divided Into four parts. ThfB division
had taken place December 29, 1904.
at » hotel in New York, where ho
and Peckham had gono to meet Haaa
and Holmes. Haas’ share of tho
amount was $10,767, but ho had been
given $10,800 because they could not
make change.
In response to questions by Mr.
Beach, the witness said Holmes had
talked with him concerning his mines
in Idaho. He had first spoken of
them In St. lands as claims, but la
tfcr Haas had come into hia office,
saying to him that ho had a contract
for him to sign that he might show
as an explanation as to where he
had gotten so much money.
“Did you pay him any money for
tho mines?’’
”1 did not.”
"Did Mr, Holmes ever talk with
you as to what would happen to him
If it was known that he was giving
out this Information?”
"Ho did. In December ho said noth
ing could happen to him; that he
had had legal advice and knew that
there was no law covering tho cane."
Van Riper also said that Holmes
had told him that on a former occa
sion in 1903 when there had been
leaks in the report he had gono to
tho white house to assure the presi
dent. that the system was perfect and
had received tho president's congratu
lations ou ils excellence.
“Did Holmes tell you at that time
whether there was any justification
of the suspicion that there was a
leak?”
"Iio said there was; he told mo that
he had furnished the figures to Price
and related how Haas had gone back
ami forth several times between him
and Prlco in an effort to have the
approaching report manipulated so as
to suit Price’s conditions, The out
I jjk w»»-4or a reporL.shoirlng a pro
fCfton of 10,250,000 bales.
"Prices was short and Bald those fig
ures would not help him and pleaded
to have the amount reduced below ten
million, If the amount could not be
made higher so that he could take the
Other side. Holmes had said It could
not possibly be made lower than 10,
020,000 bales, but Price Insisted and
the figures wore made to conform to
Price’* requirements."
He said that afterwards an effort
was made at Holmes' suggestion tc
get an outside place for Statistician
Hyde in order that Holmes could be
promoted to the chief position In tho
office.

MADE BUM BUTTER
Uncle Sam Pounces Upon a
Violator of Federal Law,
RAN A COWLESS DAIRY
Atlanta Man Posed as a fturalite, with
Rustic Turnout, and Palmed Off
Spurious Product on Unsus
pecting Public.
A campaign Of sweeping scope and
energy against impure butter as it is
made and Bold in Atlanta, whether by
housekeepers or business firms, ban
been inaugurated by the United
Stales' dlstrlc. attorney’s office.
The indictment Monday afternoon
of Leonard Bharpton, who lives near
Eas;t Atlanta, and is charged with
running a cowleas dairy, the products
of which are said to be 75 per cent
water, la tho first step of the prose
cution. If, however, evidence now In
the bands of revenue officers and the
city health department holds good,
scores of other cases are to be made
and developments as startling as
those of the Bharpton probe will be
forthcoming.
It appears, in fact, that for a year
or more, Atlanta has been swallow
ing tons of rancid stuff, which, un
der the name of butter, contains all
manner of adulterations—alkalis, wa
ter, chemicals and, In some instances,
substances almost poisonous.
According to Assistant District At
torney John Henley, the violation of
the "adulterated butter act" Is not
confined to persons who are knowing
ly fraudulent. Many housekeepers
with no 111 intentions are really break
ing tho law by making or selling pro
ducts which are old butter worked
over with milk and hot water, and,
while such cases may not come under
the head of tho more flagrant viola
tions, they are violations neverthe
less, and are subject to heavy fines.
How Sharpton plied Ills trade and
was finally discovered by the health
officers Is a singular and at the same
time a typical story of the Atlanta
butter frauds, if the allegation against
him is true. For some time, say the
officers, he had been driving a rural
looking cart over the city and mar
keting what he represented to be
fresh country butter. And, to be sure,
the neatly packed cakes he handed
out to housekeepers were tempting in
color and smell. Whenever the Sharp
ton nag cams trotting around a cur
lier, flier hoofs spattered with the
proper amount of country mud and i a
stray crinkle burr 'caught artist ically
hero and there in her tall, the city
people would have visions of fresh
meadows and imagine they caught
odors of dairy and farm.
But imagination was about all there
was to it, say the inspectors, for when
they paid a visit to the Sharpton dairy
one afternoon there wasn’t a cow, not
even a calf or a ragged goat in sight,
they declare. Sharpton’s place, on the
contrary, was just an ordinary subur
ban house in East Atlanta.
The investigation was made on com
plaint of a housekeeper. The lady
said that Sharpton’s butter was a
wonder; that it worked on princi
ples precisely opposite from thosu
that obtained in the widow’s meal spo
ken of In the Bible.
When Sharpton was first arrested
100 pounds of his so-called butter had
been seized and carried to police
headquarters. The police said It was
so full of water that as it began to
melt it flooded the station house and
contained about 4 ounces of Imtft-r
to 12 of water. Of this seizure a sam
ple was sent to the department*)! aa
rlciitture a Washington, where it
was estimated to contain -15 9-10 per
ofnt water.
When these facts were laid before
the federal grand jury a true bill was
promptly returned against Leonard
Sharpton.
