TALK WITH M'GRAW Back From Wild West He Tells About Toying With Truth. ENDED HIS LIFE Suicide Of Harry Blaclcston, Of Special Dispatch to-the Baltimore Sun.

Frederick, July 30. Harry Blaclcston, aged 29 years, proprietor of Black-ston's clothing house, one of the best known young men of Frederick, committed suicide with a revolver this afternoon on the banks of the Monocacy river, near the Red Bridge. It is believed that ill health, accentuated by the. excessive heat and financial troubles so unbalanced-his mind that In a fit of melancholia he ended his own life. He left his store at noon, and going to dinner, procured a 38-caliber revolver from his home.

Nothing more was heard of young Blackston until he was found on the river bank. He went to the river on his bicycle, which he placed against a tree and, putting bis cap on It sat down In the shade. About 2.30 o'clock some fishermen heard the report of a revolver, and going in search found the young man lying unconscious on the ground with the weapon grasped in his hand and a large bullet hole in his right temple. He expired at 3.30 o'clock without regaining consciousness. a A sealed letter was found on his person addressed "My wife," marked "Personal." It was opened and the contents plainly showed that he had carefully and deliberately planned the act, and after blddingher an affectionate farewell, begged her forgiveness.

He told her he had striven hard to make a success in life, but after great toil and labor he saw nothing bright in store for him. He, was a son of the late B. H. Blackston, postmaster of Frederick, and leaves an aged mother and three brothers. He was past worsjiipful master of Lynch Lodge of Masons and a member of the Enoch Royal Arch Chapter of also a deacon in OTHER BASEBALL GAMES National Leagae.

The racing at the Grand Circuit meeting today was of a high order and the crowd was much larger than that of yesterday, although the intense heat continued. Two favorites we're successful, but the 2.20 trot went to a third choice.

The 2.20 pace, an early-closing stake of $3,000, brought out such good ones as Audubon Boy, Star Pugh, Captain Brino, Shadow Chimes and Helen D. Audubon Boy was installed favorite, the pools averaging $50 to $40 on the field. Captain Brino showed a world of speed in the first heat, leading all way. Dick Lee and Helen D. forced him to the three-quarter pole, when he came away very fast.

He was a sure winner at the seven-eighths pole and Fox did his best to slow him up before he reached the wire, but the mile was paced in 2.07Va- the fastest time of the day. The effort was too much for the Brino horse and Audubon Boy went out and won the next three heats, reducing his record from 2.09 to 2.084- Star Pugh, winner at Detroit and Cleveland, was driven hard in the third and fourth heats, but could not reach the favorite. Shadow Chimes was never a factor. Charlie Mc was a hot favorite In the 2.17 trot. Porto Rico won the first heat in slow time and when the horses reappeared for the second heat the judges ordered Driver Durfee down from Charlie Mc's sulky on the ground that he had not driven the heat to win.

Durfee refused to dismount for some time, but did so at last and McHenry was substituted. The judges reserved their decision in Durfee's case pending further In McITenry's hands Charlie Mc went out and won the next three heats, Porto Rico always being the contending horse. Colonel Clary, over-night favorite In the 2.20 trotting, was not in form and was drawn after the second heat. Ebba, a gray mare from Indianapolis, repeated May Allen's performance of yesterday by winning in straight heats, with Henrietta half a leagth behind each time. Atlanta, easily defeated Walter S.

Chlng Frond Of His Vindication. Special Dispatch to; the Baltimore Sun. Lecnardtowk, July 29. In the Re publican primaries In St. Mary's county July 27 the Ching-Abell combine controlled every district except the Sixth, the home of Senator Wilkinson, where the delegation is divided.

It is asserted that Tues day's convention will be practically unanimous on everything agreed upon by the combine. The Indications are that the nomination for Senator will be tendered Washington Wilkinson. The State Central Committee will be dictated by the Ching-Abell following. They will also name the delegation to the State Convention, which will be favorable to the nomination of Enoch B. Abell for the clerkship of the Court of Appeals.

It Is estimated that in the convention the Ching-Abell people will have 85 votes to 5 for the opposition, andthis, of course, insures the adoption of any suggestion they may make to the convention. In the Leonardtown district the primary ticket was headed for-delegates to the County Convention by the name of Enoch B. Abell, while the ticket for alternates was headed by Joseph H. Chlng. Capt.

A. A. Lawrence endeavored to put up a fight against thh. combination, but the opposition petered out and the ticket received a unanimous vote of 109. In an Interview with Mr.

Ching today he said: "I feel absolutely satisfied and congratulate myself upon the vindication that I have secured at the hands of my party. I have been persecuted and prosecuted beyond measure and I feel gratified that my people have rallied to my support In the way they have, for It demonstrates that the people of this county are lovers of liberty and justice and will not tolerate persecution. The ticket that will be nominated by my friends in the County Convention will demonstrate beyond question that traducers of character will not be tolerated any longer in St. Mary's. This, In Itself, satisfies my ambition.

I am not a candidate for any office in the gift of my people. It suffices to say that I am proud of my county and her people." INDUSTRIAL ITEMS Soft Coal Trade Trnst And Guarantee Company. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Cumberland, July 30. The Atlantic seaboard soft coal trade continues dull, and the anticipated Improvement is not yet manifest.

The market is quiet. Standard grades are In more demand than the lower grades, but only special grades are in full demand. The slackening In industrial activity and plentiful water supply for plants using water supply are given as reasons for the lessened activity In the trade as compared with last year. Coal traffic in the Meyersdale field has revived. On Sunday there were delivered to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Garrett three solid trains of tidewater coal and three solid trains from the Salisbury branch, which made the traffic on that dy heavier than for many months.

In addition the coal delivery from the Somerset and Cambria branch is one-third heavier than heretofore. The Union Mining Company at Mount Savage Is negotiating for extensive coal tracts bordering on that place, the development of which would give a decided boom to the town. Now that the Pennsylvania Railroad practically has control of the Baltimore and Ohio, It is stated that the storekeeper departments will be done away with, and the stores distributed in a different manner to shops and stations along the line. The clerks and other employes in the storerooms of the company will be given positions In other departments. The Cumberland plant of the American Tinplate Company presents a dead appearance, all work having ceased.

For some days after the strike was declared some men were at work looking after the unfinished product. It is the opinion of quite a number of tiuworkers that the strike will soon be settled. Many of the strikers are out of the city, but if the trouble is soon settled they will be here ready to resume work. Some of the men are glad the mill is not running, as they would have suffered greatly during this weather. The Interstate Trust and Guarantee Company, recently organized here, elected the following directors: David P.

Miller, l)e Warren H. Reynolds, Benjamin- A. Richmond, Arthur H. Amlck, Calton L. Bretz, William A.

Morgart, Edward H. Welsh, Cumberland; Robert -A. Ravenscroft, Accident, Charles Harrison, Somerset, Daniel E. Off utt, Oakland, Md. This is the only company of the kind ever organized in Western Maryland.

The resolutions read by Mr. George E. Haddaway, chairman of the committee, say in respect of the State administration: "Since the election of John Walter Smith as Governor of Maryland the affairs of our State have been capably managed and the State government rescued from four years of Republican misrule. Public Improvements of magnitude have been Inaugurated and notwithstanding this there has been a reduction In the State tax rate. Especially do we commend the courage of Governor Smith in calling the extra session of the Legislature.

The Ignorant and irresponsible negro vote has become a menace to good government in our State and the passage of the Election law, that within restricted constitutional limits will reduce that vote, is a provision every Democrat should indorse." The convention was entirely harmonious. Every nomination was made by acclamation. George C. Moore was the chairman, Joshua G. Wrightson was secretary, Geo.

W. Wilson chairman of the credentials and organization committee and George E. Haddaway chairman of the committeee on resolutions. Mr. Wilfred Bateman, Secretary of State, entertained the members of the convention and others at luncheon at his town residence, Hartlington Hall.

CAROLINE COUNTY Platform Indorsing The Administration Of Governor Smith. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Devton, July 30. The Caroline County Democratic Convention, William H. Whitely chairman, elected the following delegates to the State Convention: Dr.

Enoch George, Harry W. Temple and Jesse T. Dennis; alternates, William T. IHgnutt, A. P.

Redhead and R. B. George. The following platform was adopted: "We unqualifiedly indorse the present State administration and all its branches, which have been efficiently and economically administered. Our Chief Executive.Gov.

John Walter Smith, has redeemed the promises made to our people, has had the courage of his convictions to defend and promote the interests of the State In every particular and shows himself constantly alert to bring our State and her interests into commendable notice find prominence. Under the efficient management of the State's finances by Dr. Joshua W. Hering, Comptroller of the Treasury, our State tax rates have been decreased, and from exhibits made In his last report it Is plain that our financial condition is excellent, and It is quite probable that the State tax will be further Jowered under his wise management. We denounce as false the Insinuation contained la a resolution passed in a recent convention In this county to the effect that the Democratic party is responsible for the indebtedness of the county and that the same was due to Democratic mismanagement.

The lowering of the county tax rate by a Republican levy court, when there Is a heavy Indebtedness which should be paid off, Is an evidence of playing petty politics, a mere subterfuge and bid for votes which a eplf-resnectlns Dartv ousht to be above. The Democratic party favors the canceling of the county's indebtedness as fast as possible and pledges itself to such economyof expenditures as will keep the county In the future free from such debts. Believing that the administration of their respective offices has been eminently effi cient, we reel tnat tne renomination or Dr. Joshua W. Hering for Comptroller and the nomination of Hon.

J. Frank Turner for Clerk of the Court of Appeals will be wise. and hereby ask the delegates who will represent this county In the State Convention on August 1 to vote for their nominations." CHARLES COUMTY A Democratic Legislative Nominee Declines. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. La Plata, July 30.

Mr. Alpheus Hasllp, one of the Democratic nominees for the House of Delegates 1 Charles county, last night In a short speech to the conven tion, after many of its members had left for their homes, declined to accept the nom ination. The friends'of the nominee, how ever, believe that he will reconsider his ac tion and consent to remain on the ticket, The discord heretofore reported, which took place In the convention, was due entirely to a secret contest made by a coterie opposed to the selection of the present State Central Committee, composed of P. Reed Wills, P. E.

Sasscer and C. G. Edelen Although the organization made no contest In the primaries the result proved most satisfactory from their standpoint, and the committee was retained by av handsome majority. In the convention it transpired that the anti-organization Democrats were induced to enter the contest by Republican influences, and many prominent Republi cans were actively Interested In the pri maries held last Saturday.

CADILLAC AND MILWAUKEE Accusation That ChlcagoansWanted Illinois To Get Another Chance Causes That Boat To Be Excluded. Chicago, July 30. Cadillac and Milwaukee will start tomorrow afternoon In the first of a series of races which will finally settle the question as to which boat will defend the Canada's cup against the Canadian boat, the Invader.

The series arranged for is best two In three, the first race to be sailed over the triangular course, the second over the out and home, and If a third is needed the triangular will again be used. The Prairie may sail in tomorrow's trials, not as a but simply to try some new sails. This conclusion was reached this afternoon after the officials of the Chicago Yacht Club had interviewed the Interested parties and settled what promised to be an ugly squabble between the local club and the visiting yachtsmen. Commodore Shaw, owner of the Cadillac, was off ende'd because the committee had ordered more trial races. He claimed his boat should be the defender because she had won four of the seven trials, and at first he refused to have anything more to do with the trials.

On the other hand, the Milwaukee delegation claimed that their boat was entitled to more consideration, having won two of the trials and broken down before the start of the others. She had demonstrated her ability, they said, and bad just as much right to be declared defender as Cadillac. It is doubtful if more races could have been sailed had not the Illinois been formally declared out of consideration by the judges. It was openly asserted by several of the Cadillac's friends that the additional races were for the purpose of giving the Illinois a better chance. The judges denied this flatly and then declared Illinois out.

CONSTITUTION OUT OF TUNE Sails Much Worse Than She Did Two Weeks Ago. Xewpokt, R.I., July 30. At a meeting of the captains of the New York Yacht Club today it was voted to disband the fleet tonight. Yachtsmen generally were discussing yesterday's race in which- Columbia defeated Constitution, and nearly everyone has arrived at the conclusion that the Constitution is not only In poor tune, but she is ac-Uially slower than when she raced the Co lumbia and the Independence two weeks ago. It was pointed out today that in the last race of the Newport series, when the Independence broke down, the wind was almost the same strength as yesterday, yet the Constitution sailed the 10-mile leg to windward several seconds faster than the Columbia.

Yesterday In the 18-mile beat to windward the Columbia was over 2 minutes faster than the Constitution. It was this poor showing on the part of the new boat that prompted Mr. Duncan to decline to race further until the Constitution's rlghas been changed. Secretary Oddie, of the New York Yacht Club, announced this afternoon that late last May former Commodore August Belmont, one of the owners of the Constitution, and former Commodore E. D.

Morgan, the managing owner of the Columbia, resigned as members of the challenge committee. Mr. J. Malcolm Forbes, of Boston, was chosen to succeed Mr. but as yet the vacancy caused by Mr.

Morgan's resignation has not been filled. When asked If Mr. Forbes supported the other members of the committee In their position in regard to the Boston boat, Independence, Secretary Oddie stated that he did. The entries for the Newport Association races on Thursday and Saturday include the Columbia and Independence. Bristol, R.

L. July 30.

In about 10 days it is expected the Constitution will have her new rigging adjusted and will be ready once more to enter the races. Four Days Regatta At Buffalo.

Buffalo, N. July30. A four days' regatta under the Buffalo Yacht Club began today on a course staked off In Lake Erie, Just off this port. The races were over a triangular course, three miles to each leg sailed twice over, making 18 miles. Three classes were sailed today.

Merry Thought, of Toronto, won the special class In 2.21.35 elapsed time. Chinook, a new boat from Hamilton, showed exceptionally good sailing qualities in the 40-foot class and finished over four minutes ahead of Clytle, also a Hamilton boat. The wind had increased to 25 miles an hour when the 30-footers got under way. Eight boats started. After five of the yachts had passed the flag at the first turn the man anchored there evidently became alarmed at the big sea that the wind was kicking up, as he lifted his anchor and put into the harbor.

The last three boats, being unable to find the stake, gave up the race. They entered a protest. Palarope, of Toronto, won. St. Paul Wants Seawanhakn.Cup.

Flickwer, of the University of Pennsylvania Henley crew, Reginald L. Hart, Coach Ellis F. Ward and Advance Agent H. A. Fuller returned today on the steamship Yaderland.

Both the captatn and coach speak in the highest terms of the treatment they received on the other side and say that the of the Peussyivanla crew by Leander was the result of more experience and better rowing on the part of the late crew. "AVe were defeated." Coach Ward ald, "because the Leander men were mof experienced and rowed better than we (fid. We were treated well and our oarsmen were In condition to put up the race of their lives. "To make it clearer I will say that It was simply the case of an undergraduate crew against all England. The Leander crew contains the graduates of Oxford and Cambridge, and they had the pick of these men the best oarsmen in England.

"In the Pennsylvania crew five of the men were tried men who have been rowing for three years. The bow is in his first year at college, while Nos. 2 and 7 are in their second year. 'The results lu the trials were very satisfactory and furnished a demonstration of what we can do. The Leander crew also had no trouble in the trials and she had by far the best crew.

In the finals nothing happened in our boat which could cause defeat. None of the men gave out, and they were, as I have said, in good conditlou. The race was fajrly won." Ward is a thorough believer In the superiority of the American stroke over the English. He said: "I am of the opinion that the American stroke Is the best and do not Intend to make any change."

Nkw Haven, July 30. At the Coliseum board track tonight in a 15-mlle motor-paced race "Bobby" Walthonr, of CHARGES MALICIOUS, HE SATS Tell Of Ills Troubles With Ban B. Johnson. President Of The Lwgne, "Who Is Not The "Whole Lcasne. Manager John J.

McGraw and his Orioles -arrived home last night and will today play the Washingtons in this city. Mr. McGraw expressed himself as decidedly weary of the charges of faithlessness leveled at him and reiterated his denials with emphasis. "The accusations," he said, "are mean, cruel, malicious lies. I have denied them In mass and in detail and have defied the accusers to bring proof that I have been guilty of seeking to carry iry club and others to the National League, and yet many publications, as careless of.

a man's private reputation as they are of their own regard for facts, go on treating the matter, as if it were proven. "These attacking articles are trimmed here and there with some extraordinary fixings. One that I read stated solemnly that I had gone to see President Ban Johnson, when the fact is that from the time I joined the Orioles in Cleveland until the present moment I have been with the club and nowhere else. I had no business with Mr. Johnson and did not see him.

"Regarding the statement that I employed an emissary to cajole other clubs Into deserting the American League I want to say that I generally attend to baseball business myself and do not get others to do It for me. I have done no baseball business beyond getting my club to win all the games It can. This gives me enough work to prevent my answering every foolish accusation that can be trumped up. "I never talked baseball with Manager of Detroit, except on matters pertaining to our own league. I have never authorised anyone to talk for me.

Ban Johnson may think he Is the entire American League, but I have never imagined I was the entire Baltimore Baseball Club. Then- are others In our club, and I would not atteitpt to do business without them. "We have 51 per cent, of our stock deposited with the American League and we have an agreement to rnn 30 ye'irs with the American League, and the Baltimore club will carry out Its part of the agreement to the letter. "I never heard of this alleged treachery nntil I got a telegram from The Sex asking me what It meant. I believe that it was conceived in the West with malicious intent.

"I do not believe there will be any attempt to force Baltimore ont of the League, as was stated in some later newspaper articles. The Baltimore club, I am sure, will be able to take care of itself, no matter what others may plan. "We are in good shape now. Dnnn and Bresnahan and the rest of the boys are playing great ball, and I will be in the game In a few days." The Sun's baseball correspondent In Chicago had been asked to get an authoritative interview with President Johnson, of the League, on his controversy with McGraw and Mr. Johnson himself was also asked to give his side direct.

The corre-' ppondent telegraphed last night that Mr. Johnson said that "for certain reasons of hsi own" he does not wish to be quoted any further at present. TTILL PLAT IN ST. LOUIS Johnson Sayn The American Lea sue "Will Expand Its Territory. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

Chicago, July 30. The positive statement that St. Louis will have a team in the American League next year was made by President Ban Johnson today. This announcement of the aggressive policy to be followed by this organization In the expected baseball war was made after a conference Including Mr. Johnson.

President Som-ers. of Boston; President Comiskey, of the Chicago Club, and Henry Kiililea, of Milwaukee. It is said that plans for further extension of the scope of the American League were discussed by these men. but so far only the St. Lonls deal is In shape to be made public.

"Our organization." said Johnson, "will enter St. Louis next season. We already have the grounds and the players for a club, and It will be a team of surprising strength, too, as will be seen when the names are made public." Milwaukee will remain in the American League for the rest of the season, Mr. Johnson said, but what will be done with that franchise next year has not been determined. It may be given to St.

Louis or that of Cleveland or Baltimore may be shifted. The American League owners are preparing to make further inroads on National League territory, particularly In the East, where New York is believed by them to offer a promising field. In addition they have their eyes on some of the best National Leagne players, and will try to secure them for clubs at important competitive points. The invasion of St. Louis is President Johnson's reply to the reports from New York to the effect that the American League was "ready to give up the ghost." It Is known that an offer of $30,000 has been made the owners of the Milwaukee club for their team and franchise by St.

Louis capitalists, but this offer has been refused. When asked if it would not be a doubtful proposition to locate a rival club In St. Louis when there Is so much enthusiasm over the National League club there, President Johnson made the remark: "There will be no other club when we go there."

Axxapolis, July 30. A Are this morning on Clay street, Annapolis, at one time gave promise of assuming alarming proportions. An unoccupied dwelling on this street caught fire from some unknown cause and soon three more dwellings under the same roof and comprising a group, all occupied, were burning. The city fire engine could not be gotten there early because the new City Council has made no provision for the horses, so the firemen had to fight the fire with hose. The engine finally arrived, but not until the flames had been mastered.

The houses belong to the estate of the late Michael Bear and all were pretty badly damaged. The roofs had to be cut away to get at the fire. John Knadler, a member of the Rescue Hose Company, fell and badly cut his hand in grabbing at the roof to save himself. Extensive Bicycle Tour. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

"Have you carefully considered all that I have said, my boy?" asked the old gentleman the day after he had given his son a little fatherly advice. "Yes, father," replied the young man meekly. "You are getting near the age at which a young man naturally begins to look around for a wife, and I don't want you to make a mistake." "I'll try not to father." "No butterflies of fashion, my boy, but a girl of some solid worth; one who has some practical accomplishments." "Yes, father." "Never mind the piano playing and Del-sarte lessons; never mind the dancing and the small talk.

When you find a girl who can cook, my boy, It will be time to think of marrying. When you find a girl who can make up her own bed, knows how to set the table without forgetting something, Is able to put up the preserves, and, above all, Is good at sewing, go in and win her, my boy, and you will have my blessing." "I have resolved, father, to seek such a wife as you describe," said the young man with determination. "I see the folly of seeking a wife in society.

PEARL FISHING IN VENEZUELA Remarkable Revival Of The Indni-, try Off Shores Of Margarita Island. When the Spaniards landed on the shores of Margarita Island, off the north coast of Venezuela, four centuries ago, they found the necks of the natives adorned with strings of pearls. They lost no time In securing possession of these valuable ornaments at little expense to themselves, for the native pearl market was well stocked and prices were low. Margarita was one of the islands discovered by Columbus in his Journey of 1498.

The Spaniards were very eager, of course, to discover tlje place of origin of the pearls, and only a year later a man named Guerra found the pearl banks off the south It was not long before other banks were discovered around the shores of the island. This new source if pearls was a magnet that drew many adventurers to the island. The neighborhood of Margarita became one of the busiest regions of the Spanish main. Margarita Is quite a large island, though smaller than Trinidad. Its extremities, the larger part of It, are connected by a narrow Isthmus, so that It has something the appearance of a dumbbell.

For centuries the fishing grounds off Margarita have contributed to the world's supply of pearls, but In recent years the Industry has ben almost abandoned, as the banks seemed to be about exhausted, while the pearls fell In value so hat fishing was not profitable. The past few months have witnessed a wonderful revival of the industry. Pearls have advanced In price owing to the fact that the supply from larger grounds has fallen off. The large fisheries off the north coast of Australia, for example, have been yielding comparatively few pearls and the Industry Is now carried on there not so much for the gems as for pearl shell, or mother of pearl, as it is known in the trade. Times had been very dull In Margarita for many years, but there is now extraordinary activity in the island.

P.uy-ers from different parts of the world have gone to Margarita to live on that sindy and not particularly Inviting island. Their business, of course, is to purchase froni the native fishermen the gems they wrest from the shallow depths around the island. There are no such lively scenes on the Grand Banks among the cod fleet as are witnessed today In the waters over the beds off the northeast and northwest shores of Margarita. About 2,000 natives and 400 sailing vessels are engaged in the industry. The long-neglected beds have had time for recuperation and the gems fetch a good price In the Paris and other markets; so this is a harvest time for the natives, who are Improving each shining hour.

The Venezuelan Government, always alert to discover a new source of revenue, is deriving considerable advantage from the industry by taxing all the boats engaged In It. These boats are from three to fifteen tons In size and the whole fleet Is on the grounds during most of the daylight hours. The results thus far this season Justify the opinion that the value of the output, this year will be about $000,000. It would be much increased If the shell of the oyster were more valuable, but It is found to be too thin for the manufacture of buttons and other articles Such as are made from the shell of the Queensland andBahrelu Islands fisheries. The thinness of the shell is said to be due to the short life of theMargarltan oyster, which Is not usually more than eight years.

The pearls, however, are of fine quality and beautiful luster. Most of them are white to yellowjn color, and sometimes an almost pricelcsa black gem is brought to-the surface. In May last a large white pearl was -sold In Margarita for $1,700. Such prizes, however, are not found often, though every time a large oyster Is opened the fisherman hopes he will find a pearl of unusual value. Most of the pearls go to Farls, which Is regarded as the great penter for the distribution of pearls, and as the market which, on the whole, offers the best price for them.
