Nixon Speaks Up for the President of tbe Steel Trust. SHIP TRUST IS IN GOOD SHAPE Declares fir. Schwab Sold Bethlehem Plant In Perfectly Legitimate Way and Without Collusion of Any Sort In the United States Circuit Court at Trenton the United States Shipbuilding Company, which has been desig nated as the shipbuilding trust, niea Its answer to the allegations of mis management and corrupt deals made by stockholders who are applying for a receiver for the concern. One of the most interesting phases of the answer was the affidavit of Louis Nixon, pres ident of the trust, erstwhile Tammany leader and president of the Crescent Ship Yard at Elizabeth, who was supposed to have been the leading spirit in the organization of the trust. lhe most interesting part of the affidavit was Mr.

Nixon's denial of the allegations that was in a deal with Chas. M. Schwab, president of the giant steel trust, to gather In the Bethlehem Steel Company, nt a handsome profit to themselves, and at the cost of the ship trust. In his affidavit President Nixon has this to say about the allegation that he and Charles M. Schwab made a deal to secure the Bethlehem Steel Company and sell it fo the trust at a fine profit: "I deny absolutely each and every statement to the effect that before the incorporation' of the defendant company it had arranged between Charles M.

Schwab and myself that Mr. Schwab should acquire the plant, property and business of the Bethlehem Steel Company, so that he. might thereafter sell the same at an enormous profit to-. the defendant company. On the contrary, the fact is that Schwab had acquired the Bethlehem steel plant long before either its organization of the maturity of the plans therefor.

I turned over my property at the same time that Mr. Schwab turned over the Bethlehem plant. He was then neither a director nor an official of the company. "My attention has been called to the allegation, entirely unproven, that I had approved and recommended the adoption of the proposed plan of reorganization, and that I had been induced so to do in the interest of Schwab, with a view of avoiding a supposed investigation and exposure of my conduct as an officer and director of the company by the Court, and through a disinterested receiver, on the express or implied understanding that if it succeeds in carrying out its plan, neither I nor my co-directors will be prosecuted for our conduct, and that no restitution will be sought from me by reason of my acts or alleged omissions in connection with the organization or management of the company. "I deny that there has been any misconduct on my part in' the manage ment of the company since I became a director or officer of it.

On the cor-trary, I have endeavored to devote all of my the best Interests of the company, and challenge any one to show that my administration has not been entirely honest and faithful ti the interests of all the stockholders and persons interested in the company." President Nixon also sets up a denial that he was, as was alleged, the organizer of the trust, but says all the preliminary work was done by John W. Young. He says that the purchase of the various shipbuilding companies and of lhe Bethlehem steel works was unanimously approved by the stockholders. The corporation, he says, is conducting its business at a profit, and that it owes the complaining stockholders nothing that It cannot pay them. "I estimate the value of the plants, exclusive of Bethlehem, making a cooperation under one management and capable of producing, as at present, more than $14,000,000 worth of finished product yearly, at not less than Alfred G.

22-2 1 SENTENCES INCREASED. CHICKEN THIEVES MUST SERVE TWO YEARS IN JAIL. Judge Scott of Easton changed the sentence imposed on Joseph Miller, John Smith and Charles Hollenbach, young men hailing from Lehigh County, who pleaded non vult to the larceny of chickens in Lehigh Township, and who at that time were sentenced to serve 60 days in the county prison. The Judge said that he had acted under a misapprehension when he passed sentence before; he had believed the young men to be employed In honest business and had fallen into crime. Since then, however, he had learned that the defendants had made It a business to steal chickens and sell them at the AHentown market.

As a lesson to other offenders he sent the defendants to Jail for two years each. DIED AT SLA TING TO N. Mrs. Griffith Prltchard died at ths home of her daughter. Mrs.

Mr, Williams officiating. Guffy's Tip as to Policy of tbe Pennsylvania Democrats. ROOSEVELT AND WALL STREET If Trust Magnates Show Hostile Hand He Will Get Immense Campaign Fund --Bryan's Views on the Reorganize. Replying to criticisms that the Democratic state organization is inactive, Colonel J. M.

Guffey said: "When the Democratic State Convention assembles it will furnish issues and candidates) that will amply afford the independent press and the independent Republican voters grounds to show their strength against the Salus-grady bill and the Republican machine's methods. Having some personal knowledge of the Democratic organization of the state and its present labors, I do not hesitate in assuming this outcome." Colonel Guffey's statement is the first public expression) on the probable issues of the fight on the Democratic side. It is taken to mean that the libel law will be made the issue by the Democrats this fall, but that there will be no formal fusion with dissatisfied Republicans. The latter will merely be given the opportunity to indorse Democratic candidates. WALL, STREET'S ATTITUDE.

The president of. the Northern Pacific Railroad, C. S. Mellen, has said that Mr. Morgan has declared that if Mr.

Roosevelt is nominated Wall Street will not raise $10,000 in his interest. If this be a fact, and if it is properly certified, it would be the surest method of securing Mr. Roosevelt the largest campaign fund In the history of American politics. If there are "Wall Street men" who are at present taking a sort of satisfaction in the thought that, while Mr. Roosevelt's nomination is apparently inevitable, it will be their privilege to withhold during the ermpalgn the pecuniary support essential to his success, their true policy is to keep it dark.

A general Impres sion that "Wall Street" was bound to "get square" with the president would have the effect, to a dead certainty, of flooding the Republican managers with so much 'money from a million sources that they wouldn't know what to do with it. Campaign committees almost al ways have blggr funds thart their real needs demand, and It would be a mournful reflection for Wall Street op ponents of the president that, besides defeating their otvn scheme, they, had encouraged an extravagant expenditure on the other side. It is, however, hardly likely to prove the case that the Republican candidate will be permitted to suffer for any help that Wall Street can give him. It is openly asserted by those of opposite political faith that the whole talk of opposition from "the interests" is for popular consumption only that there is not, and has never beeji, any serious dislike of the president on the part of the powers known as "Wall Street." It Is admitted that he has said some things that on their face may have had the appearance of enmity to the ideas favored by the financial leaders, but it is argued that he has In fact done nothing calculated to injure or even alarm, them. Many positive but disagreeable statements have been made as to the attitude of particular financial magnates.

J. J. Hill is undoubtedly disiruntled; Mr. Morgan, according to his partner, George W. Perkins, did not make1 the statement attributed to him and is in no wise antagonistic to Mr.

Roosevelt. MR. BRYAN'S VIEWS. If Colonel Bryan means what he says, he will not be found supporting the next Democratic candidate for president should that candidate come from the ranks of, or be the choice of, the reorganize. He has written some pretty strong words and talked even stronger ones words which make It impossible for him to lltv up for Cleveland or any of the Princeton sage's friends or sympathizers who may be chosen to lead.

Ten years ago Mr. Bryan was defeated in the Nebrasika State convention by th gold men. He told them that If they won and what they did was ratified by the rank and file he would go out from the party, even though he went alone. He lost in convention, but the gold men were beaten at the polls. The next year he captured the party organization and took it over to the Populists, where It has since remained.

Upon one phase of the matter Mr. Bryan is pleasantly frank. He believes that Mr. Cleveland should be the reorganizers nominee if they win, and he says so. Asked whom he thought the nominee would be in that event, he said: "If the Democratic party is to stand for the things which the reorganizers hope the party will stand for, If the party is to be reorganized for the benefit of the trust magnates, then Grover Cleveland is the logical candidate.

If the Democratic party Is to be asked to revise its platform, to choose Its candidate according to the pleasure of men among whom Mr. Cleveland is a conspicuous advisor, then it will be far better that Mr. Cleveland himself be the candidate of this element. "Under such circumstances no one need be deceived. Democrats have every reason to know the course he would pursue should he be elected for a third term; and if in the light of all this knowledge he is permitted to be-, come the party nominee.

Democrats would have only themselves to blame for the result. "I have a right to speak of Grover Cleveland's Democracy, for I have borne his sins in two national campaigns. He has made the Democratic party the scapegoat for his political crimes and his record still hangs as a millstone about the party neck. "I have co choice between those men Taylor 8c 705 Hamilton Street, Allentown, Pa, welfare of the country have been so vigorously denounced, I do not know. "It is little short of amazing that these politicians cannot see that in the presence of the grent evils under which the American people are suffering, the men' who are studying public questions are crying not merely for victory for a particular party, but for actual and practical relief.

"If the reorganizers obtain control of the party they cannof be trusted to bring about a single reform that the people need," YESTERDAY TO-MORROW. Yesterday you read an ad. of the Aschbach store.

The Executive Committee of the Alliance Board of Trade considered an application for the establishment of a stove foundry by parties now located in another town. About an acre of land adjacent to the railroad will be needed, together with a building 80 by 200 feet, suitably equipped. President Tompkins appointed a committee, consisting of E. O. Reyer and R.

P. Lentz, to investigate the matter and report at a subsequent meeting. There was also an application and proposal for the establishment of a loonier and misses' shoe factory, by parties now located and operating in another city, but where they are-much handicapped by labor troubles. Alliance being a rural community and largely free from labor agitation, the possibilities are that the business would prosper. The application was referred to the secretary for answer on the lines of the general discussion.

The committee took up the discussion of the merlt-s of the bore-vudi as a place for locating and establishing variety of industries. Large! companies like the Atlas, Lawrence and Bonneville Cement Companies are already located there and employ large numbers of both skilled and unskilled labor, but many more laborers would come If employment was offered. The president appointed a committee with A. P. Laubach as chairman to report upon various methods of procedure.

The sustaining power of Postum Coffee when properly cooked Is greater than most people imnglne and It -is well illustrated in the' story told by a young Texas woman who says: "I almost lived on Postum Cereal Coffee for over a month and there was over a' week I did not eat anything at all but Just drank the food drink Postum and yet I grew stronger and gained weight.

We all think it has no equal as a nourishment for the sick for beside being pleasant to the taste it is so strengthening.
