There was talk aboufbribery anf the impeaching and besmirching of character to-day, when the hearing on the proceedings looking to the ap- pointment of a permanent receiver for the United States Shipbuilding Company was resumed before Special Examiner Oliphant. W. D. Guthrie, counsel for C. M. Schwab, declared that Lawyer Untermyer was trying to impeach and besmirch Lewis Nixon, his own) witness, but Mr. Untermyer retorted that the evidence would tend to im- peach and besmirch Mr. Schwab, showing that he attempted to urlbe Mr. Nixon to get his consent to the reorganization plan by offering to take depreciated bonds and stocks off his hands, NIXON ON STAND AGAIN, The hearing was resumed in the offices of Guggenheimer, Untermyer & Marehall, with Mr. Nixon again on the stand. There had been many post- ponements due to an effort to effect a compromise by Charles M. Schwab, the sale of whose plant—the Bethlehem Steel Company—to the trust has een the chief scandal involved in the sensational testimony adduced at the hearing. Before the proceedings started Mr. Guthrie asked for another adjournment of two weeks after. to-da: cause he has busimess in Wash- Ington and Chicago. This was agreed to and thus more time is gained in which to rcnew negotiations for'a compromise. In the early part of his testimony to-day Mr. Nixon admitted to Mr. Yntermyer on redirect examination that the current assets of the Bethle- hem plant had not been correctly stated to the committee of the Stock (Continued on Second age.)

He was with another man. In the front hall of the house there was @ cuckoo clock. It was approaching the |hour, and the only way James can possibly figure out how he came to fool with the cuckoo was that he was afraid it_might wake somebody up, Persons accustomed to living in the house with a cuckoo clock are not at all disturbed by the lament of the cuckoo, but if the clock should happen to run down the sound of the silence wakes them up. It was this way with William Price, the athletle son of the Brooklyn sleuth, He thought he heard the cuckoo clock stop. This was so unusual that he got out of bed to see if the cuckoo was flying away, In the hall he saw two mon who appeared to be total strangers. He put on an overcoat over his pa- amas and started for the intruders, They went out the front door, running as a | team, but at the first corner. they sepa- |rated. Price elected to follow the man | who went through Ryerson street and | the pursuit led him a mile. The pursued person had the cuckoo "| clock under his coat.
