LEACH’S TRUNK HERE. Accused Man Had Sworn He} Helped Carry It Aboard Torpedoed Cunarder. From what ts known of the statement | made to officials of the Department of | room mate of Gustav Stahl, it is an- telpated in the office of United Staten Attorney Marshall that Hardenbureg’s evidence before the Federal Grand Jury in the conspiracy proceedings now in progress will flatly controvert Stahi's affidavit that he saw mounted guna aboard the Lusitania the night before she made her last trip. Though unable t. give details until they become a matter of record, As- sistant United States Attorney Roger B. Wood stated to-day that everything learned from Hardenburg, as well as from further investigation of Stahl's own extended statement to the inves- tigators of the Department of Justice, goes to show that the facts alleged in the Stab! aMdavit are absurd. Hardenburg will appear before the Grand Jury on Wednesday as a wit- mens in the proceedings which have been instituted to find out the identity and culpability of the parties to the alleged conspiracy “to defraud the United States Government” by the filing of the Stahl aMdavit, and others, with the Department of State. So far the only person named in the proceed- ings in Paul Koenig, head of the Ham- burg-American Line's secret service bureau. “In view of facts now in our pos- session the Stahl aMdavit has every appearance of having been inspired,” aid Mr, Wood this morning. On the strength of Hardenburg’s preliminary statement agents of the | th Department of Justice, under the di- rection of Assistant Division Super- intendent Joseph A. Baker, who ha had personal charge of the Stah! case winoe the start, are now busy looking up witnesses who may be able to sup- ply pvidence in corroboration of Har- denburg’s expected testimon: It Quick results in this direction are ob- tained it may be deemed advisable to place Hardenburg before the Grand Jury at once, What is regarded by officials of the Department of Justice as one of the most convincing proofs that Gustav Stahl's affidavit concerning the pren- ence of mounted guns on the Lusi- tanta is a fabrication was revealed to-day when It became known that a trunk belonging to Neal J, Leach, the is in the office of Division Superin- tendent William M, Offley, head of the Bureau of Investigation, and was never taken aboard the ill-fated Cu- narder at all, Stahl swore that it was while helping Leach aboard with his Superintendent Offiey »referred not to say how he came into posscssion of Leach's trunk, but stated that it was taken from the west side boarding house where the steward lived while here.

The Apple King of America. Suppose you had been walking down one of New York's streets thirty years ago, and that you had stopped to purchase an apple from Pusheart man at the curb, and that in response to your inquiry as to the condition of business, he had re- pied: “Ach, nicht so bad. Some tay I buy & million tollars worth of apfel at a time.” You'd have tapped your cranium meaningly and walked on, wouldn't you? Which would have shown how| little you knew of what the future held for Joseph Steinhardt. When a youngster of thirteen, Steinhardt arrived from Germany via the steera, He knew no English, had no money, no vocational educa- tion, The first problem was to find a job. He got one as night copy boy on The World. His work ended at 2 A, M.; then came a few hours’ sleep, to be followed by attendance at school. At the end of a year he was dis- charged. His dialect was still too broad to natisty the boss, As the|hcnised of attacking a sixtee weekly pay envelope had been all|old white girl. , that stood between Steinhardt and | ——— Lumber. The proprietor of @ furniture fac- tory found that as new shipments of lumber arrived they were piled on top of nearly exhausted stacks. This meant that many boards remained on the bottom for years, thus deterior- ating. Thereupon he wet a limit to the height of the piles and issued a rul- ing that a pile must be completely exhausted before new shipments could occupy that space. This meant that increased yard area was required, but the savings ef- fected far more than offset this in- creased expense, By making the piles lower, time and labor were saved in | stacking; no lumber was permitted to become worthless, and he was en- abled to keep a perpetual inventory record of his stock, something which had been impossible under the for- mer system where the records be- came confused because of stacking new lumber on old. pak LYNCHED BY GEORGIA MOB.

He slept in the parks, picked up an odd penny now and then as a dish- washer, and wondered, “what next?” Finally, be accumulated some two hundred cents and decided to operate in the apple market, the curb market. It was a case of putting all his apples in one basket and watching that bas- ket, His venture prospered. When teen years of age he had a aur- plus to his credit. He decided to plunge and purchased a pushcart. Success has ruined many aman. But not Steinhardt. He did not feel im- pelled to increase his living expenses to @ point commensurate with his heightened position in the community. Steinhardt with @ pushcart was the same modest, unassuming, hardwork- ing business man as Steinhardt with & basket. But, as in the case of all conspicu- | ous successes, his acquisition of a! jij pushcart created competition, “There | must be money in apple operations,” was the neighbors’ conclusion, Hie rincipal competitor was Richard lly, He also owned a pushcart. For a time price slashing and under- selling were the tactica in order, All which, of cours But finally, in 1886, ( FARMER'S WIFE T00 ILL TO WORK A Weak, Nervous Sufferer Restored to Health by Lydia E.
