DEPOSITED $800

OF GRAFT MONEY State Shows That McGregor Did This Shortly After Bribe Was Given. THE DEFENSE DENIES IT. STATES THAT MARION COUNTY COMMISSIONER DID MAKE A DEPOSIT BUT IT WAS ALL HONEST MONEY. Indianapolis, Ind., August 1. Martin M. Hugg made the opening statement for the defense in the John McGregor bribery case and several witnesses were called to show the good reputation of the commissioner for honesty and Integrity about the time when Emmett S. Huggins said McGregor took a share of $3,800 the Atlas Engine works paid as a bribe. The state proved by Hugh Dough erty, president of the Marlon Trust company, that McGregor, on the last day of April, 1907, deposited $800. This was three days after the time when Huggins stated he handed McGregor $815 of the $3,800. In his opening statement Hugg de clared the defense would show the jury that this $800 was honest money. The defense in the cross examina tion of Arhtur W. Willcuts, who said that as a salesman for the Atlas company he had paid Huggins $3,iO, brought Willcuts to the admission that he suspected at the time when Hug gins was negotiating for the $3,800 Huggins intended to keep it all, and that he did not propose to give it to any one else. The attorneys for the state attempt ed to have this testimony stricken out of the record, but failed. " Woman's Sorrow.

All good grocers sell it Dartmouth Uiilverdtr. In a copy of the Portland Gazette published in 1817 there is an allusion to "Dartmouth university." Dartmouth college was founded by a charter grant ed before the Revolution, and the state of New Hampshire sought to take away the charter rights and use the property as a part of the new university, which was chartered by the legislature. The point was raised that the legislature had no right to do this, and It was so decided by the United State supreme court after a memorable exposition of the case by Daniel Webster. The Gazette pokes fun at the university, which, it states, "has one student," who "may serve as a nest egg." A Slng-nlar Betrothal.

Chinese Deities. The Chinaman has a deity who opens the eyes of his worshipers in the morning and another who closes them at night.

There are gods who preside at the birth of a Chinese baby and gods who honor the occasion when a Chinaman dies, or, In his own idiom, "sticks up his pigtail." The Hat They Ml.

UNITED STATES

SEIZE PANAMA REPUBLIC

Oyster Bay, N. Y., August 1 A con ference on conditions in the American Canal Zone at Panama and on relations of the canal zone with the republic of Panama was held at Sagamore Hill last night. Secretary of war Wright and Secretary of the Isthmian Canal Commission Joseph Bishop, who had been summoned here to discuss the Panama matters with the president, arrived last evening. They were accompanied by Mrs. Bishop and GifTord Pinchot, chief of the bureau of forestry. The guests remained over night at Saga more Hill. With Gen. Wright and Secretary Bishop the president went over the situation in Panama. The conference was resumed today when the future policy to be followed by the officials of the canal zone will be determined. Mr. Bishop who is just finishing a two months' leave of absence from the Isthmus, is thoroughly acquainted with the exact state of affairs prevail ing in Panama, and it Is understood CUTS OWN THROAT Friends of Halbinger Not Surprised, as Man Seemed Downhearted. WAS IN RICHMOND FRIDAY. When In this city yesterday morning and Thursday night, Walter Halbinger, a traveling salesman from St. Louis appeared morose and disconsolate. Friends and acquaintances could not enliven his spirits, and to some he confided he had contracted malaria while traveling in Kentucky and Southern Indiana and had given up his position. His melancholia could not be dispelled and he left this city Friday morning." He left the train at Berne and after walking north up the track of the G. R. & I. railroad for about two miles slashed his throat from ear to ear. The gash is about six inches long. The attempt at suicide did not prove successful, however, and the man was alive last night. Although well dressed, Halbinger was penniless. When he learned his condition was critical he requested telegrams be sent to relatives at St. Louis. It is learned he has a brother in St. Louis rated as worth $200,000. His sister has sent word she will hasten to the bedside of her brother, who has but slight chance for recovery. Halbinger's mind has changed and he now wants to live. THE SWELLING TOAD. Carlos Point Abaal This Oddltr Among Anlmali. The wonder of the genus batraehia and the greatest natural history oddity to be found along the Atlantic coast of the United States Is the swelling toad, a semiaquatic creature known to naturalists as bufomachalatus. It is occasionally met with from New York city to Jacksonville, Fla., but is most common along the coasts of Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. When In its natural state the "swell toad" is about the size of a large bullfrog, but looks more like a fish than it does like either a frog or a toad. It is about six inches in length and has the curious faculty of being able to swell to the size of a football, in which state its legs, tail and head are scarcely visible. Irritation appears to be the chief factor in causing these curious crea tures to inhale air until they swell al most to bursting. The bellies of both the malea and females ire nearly pure white and are covered with spines which give that portion of their anato my the appearance of a well rip ened jmson bur. Persons who under stand the "swell toad" and know what an irritable little rascal It is catch it and rub the spines on its belly, when It swells up until it is utterly helpless. Another curious point about the creature is that as long as it is kept on its back it is unable to expel the air so as to reduce the swelling. HUMAN QUALITIES. Aecordlna- to This Writer, Women Are More Civilised Than Men. Havelock Ellis In his study of "the most Interesting beings in the world" namely, men and women formulates the conclusions that there is hardly an organ of the body or quality of any kind that Is not unlike in the vexes. A man is a man even to his thumbs, and a woman Is a woman down to her little toes. Let man, with his vannted superiority in everything, cultivate a proper feeling of his real standing in view of Mr. Ellis' statement that women "are unquestionably superior in general tactile sensibility and probably superior in the discrimination of tastes," with (to be perfectly impartial) no advantage either way In the other senses, but they have better memories, read more rapidly, bear pain better, recover better from wounds and serious Illnesses, . are less changed by old age, live longer and have relatively larger brains, especially in the frontal regions. Women, to put it in a few words, are more civilized than men. On the other hand, Mr. Ellis finds men are slower in mind, with greater strength of body (they are two, three and four times as strong as women), quicker In movement, with much greater lung capacity, more blood corpuscles and exhale twice as much carbon dioxide, but these last qualities are rather drawbacks than otherwise, sine

that he has some recommendations of importance to submit to the president and Gen. Wright for their approval. When Mr. Bishop sails for Panama next Monday from New York, he undoubtedly will carry with him complete instructions. When questioned regarding a report from Panama which stated that the people there believed that the ultimate result of American operations on the Isthmus would be the seizure by the United States of the Republic of Panama, Secretary Bishop said that the alarm, if any was felt, was absurd. Gen. Wright has nothing to say concerning the conference with the pres ident on Panama. He said that he probably would talk with the president on the dismissal of the cadets from West Point. Gifford Pinchot came to see the president regarding the work of the national conservation commission in which the president is so greatly inter ested. Secretary Loeb departed this afternoon on his month's vacation. COMMITTEE NAMED Executive Committee of the Republican State Committee Strong. CARR ONE OF ITS MEMBERS. Indianapolis, Ind., August 1.

In the old days, especially during the reigns of James I. and Charles I., the nave of St. Paul's cathedral was popularly known as "Paul's walk." because it was the favorite promenade of wits, ganants and fashionable laiers, no mtfi mre to gaiuer or rami uie lait-sv news. The nave and body of a cathedral or church were then regarded as much less sacred than the chancel, and this explains, if it does not excuse, the fact that they were often given over to all kinds of profane and secular uses, At St. Tanl's there were stalls and bazaars with crowds of busy buyers and sellers, giving it the appearance of a fair. Usurers occupied the south aisle and horse dealers the north, mak ing it, as Evelyn called it, "a stable of horses and a den of thieves." Shakespeare makes Falstaff buy a horse at I St. Paul's as he would at Smlthfleld. Courts of justice were held and fu neral banquets and churchwarden's feasts were celebrated there, and, according to Stubbs, traces of these usages lingered on into the middle of the seventeenth century. London G.obe. Baols of Mnllet. Mullet, the food fish which the larger portion of the game fish live upon and which they follow about, are found in enormous schools in the ocean. A small section say 25.000 or 50,000 will find their way in the lake looking for food, and a corresponding section of the attendant school of blueflsh will follow them. When these fish once get in the gill nets trollers can make no appreciable impression upon them, no matter how hard they fish, and this small detachment is not 1 per cent of the school from which it strayed.
