Argument of Connel for Receiver In. Tobacco Combine Case. NEWARK, 2J. J., Auff. 15. Argument in the application for the appointment of a receiver for the Universal Tobacco Com pany was resumed today before Vice Chancellor Pitney by Attorney-General STcCarty, of counsel for the defendant corporation. McCarty said that the fact that the corporation wanted more capital was no proof of Insolvency. He asked: "Where are those men who have made millions out of the scheme by selling oat?" VIce-Chancellor Pitney, interrupting, said: "I do not quite agree with counsel that many made millions. I assume that they made about $500.WO less expenses. "What they got beyond that was by cheating somebody." Wheeler H.t Peckham followed for the defense. He began by reading the text of the new Massachusetts corporation law, but was Interrupted by Vice-Chancellor Pitney. 'The Massachusetts Judiciary Is degen erating." announced the VIce-Chancellor, "and I don't consider their opinion any more. Thirty years ago now It was dif ferent." When Sir. Peckham resumed by referring to the Vice-Chancellor's opinion of Massachusetts as similar to that of the opinion given by the, court a few days ago regarding wall fatreet and stock lmiation, he was again Interrupted by the VIce Chancellor, who said: "You know, and I know, and every body else ought to know, .that the stock Is Inflated In order to unload It cn the public. I consider It a fraud, and the people who buy are fools. The men who inflate the stock take advantage of the old adage, 'All fools are not yet dead.' It may be an old-fashioned idea. .but It is ground into me and I am afraid I cannot shake It off." Peckham resumed his argument .after the recess. He said that If it were found, after the organization of an Industrial combination, that another or other con cerns could be purchased and the busi ness enlarged, it would be wisdom to take in such firms. This was exactly what was intended In the case of the Universal Company, with the result that Just as success was In sight the concern was sold out. There was at present at issue the protection of some one who had been de frauded, and it was to this that much consideration must be devoted. Mr. Peck ham was still talking when the court ad journed, and will finish when the case Is resumed in Jersey City on Monday. Bankrupt Brother' Liabilities LnrRe NEW YORK. August 15.

(Continued from First Page.) retary Nordstrom, of the Alaska Fisher men's Packing Company, from the man ager of the company's cannery at Nusha gak River. Bristol Bay. Alaska, which was the first news received from there since the opening of the fishing season there. The letter was dated July 25, and says the run of fish had been very poor. The season had been cold and heavy storms were frequent. Qne fairly good run of fish came Into the bay. but it went up the Koggung River, and all the packers were compelled to go there for fish. The Warren cannery, he says, received the greatest benefit from the run, as its fishing grounds were sheltered, and the men were able to flsh continuously. While no figures relative to the- pack are- given, the letter says It will be far below ex pectations. The letter also tells of the drowning ot Knutc Thorvlg, of this city, on July 16. He was employed as a fisherman by the cannery. On that date he and Charles Kendall were coming from Snag River with a boatload of fish, when they struck a heavy, storm and their boat filled and later capsized. Both, clung to the bottom of the craft for some time, but Thorvlg was finally washed off and drowned. Ken dall reached shore about 12 hours after the accident occurred. Thorvlg was a na tive of Norway, about 25 years ot age, and was unmarried. He was a member of the Scandinavian Benevolent Society of this city. SHIPPED SALMON BY THE TON. St. Helens Fishermen Catch More Flub Than Ever Before. ST. HELENS. Or., Aug. 15. Although the catch of salmon has been limited at certain intervals, about 375 tons have been shipped from this point during the past season, larger than at any time In the history of this part of the Columbia. J. H. Sheldon, who Is the purchasing agent for the Astoria salmon combine, has shinned 300 tons, and about 75 tons have been purchased by other parties. The out put was considerably augmented by the catches at tho Willows seining ground, -a few miles above St. Helens. Mr. Sheldon, who managed the seining grounds this year, reports a catch of 10 tons In one day. This was something unusual, and 'was not an average catch by any means. A dozen years ago the output of salmon at tills noint was a minimum amount, and small shipments only were made ot out side markets. With the advent of outside purchasers, the fishermen were provided with better facilities for taking fish until this has become one of the best fishing points on the river. Some of the small flsh boats are now provided with gasoline engines, which enables them to do more effective work. Warden Serves Xotlce to Cease. ASTORIA. Or., Aug. 15. (Special.)

The yachting skip pers on the Clyde are generally optimistic regarding Shamrock Ill's chances for win ning the America's cup. John Carter, the well-known skipper of King Edward's Britain, believes that Shamrock HI Is able to beat the Reliance, but hopes that the managers will speedily make up their minds definitely regarding the trim of the boat and her canvas.

Reliance Develops Additional Points of Advantage. NEW YORK, Aug. 15. During the past week both the Reliance and Shamrock HI have been tuning up for the cup races. In the process ot putting on the finishing touches the Reliance has had several spins wltn the Constitution as a pacemaker. The new cup defender has been recently fitted with a new set of sails, with which Oliver Iselln declares himself well sat isfied. In the skirmishes of the past week Ith the Constitution the Reliance has shown such marked Improvement that it Is now freely predicted by members of the Jew lork Yacht Club and others, that victory over the Shamrock III is prac tically assured. There Is one prominent achtsxnan. however, who does not share this opinion; this is Harry Huff, son ot Captain Hank Huff. This expert believes that the race will go to the British boat. Sir Thomas Llpton's boat has not been idle during the week. The time has been consumed profitably In a series of brushes with Shamrock I. and In all these the new boat has shown Improved sailing qualities, although In most instances these have been due to the cleverness of the skipper handling the challenger rather than any other cause. The skippers of both British boats are post masters in the art. On two or three occasions during the week's spins between the two boats. Captain Wringc. of the challenger, has had diffi culty in keeping his boat from defeat by Captain Bevls of Shamrock I, and again on his part the former has shown re markable cleverness In one race, blanket ing the old boat three times in almost as few minutes. if blr Thomas Llpton does not litt the cup he will nave lost nothing of the pop ular esteem in which he is held in this country. The popular yachtsman has won his way to the hearts of the American people not, only by his gallant efforts to "win the America's trophy, but for the impetus he has given to American yacht ing generally In leaving other cups to be racea for. These cups have been present ed to different yachting associations, and are sure to do much towards the develop ment of the sport In the sections where they are located. Last year the owner of the challenger presented a cup to be sailed for on Lake Michigan, and only a short time ago presented a beautiful cup to the Corinthian Yacht Club of -San Diego, CaL, to be competed for by yachts of the 30- foot cabin class on the Pacific coast. The. consensus of expert opinion as re gards the chances of the two boats in the coming races may be summed up as fol lows: In weighing the chances of the two com batants it is well to remember that each has points In which she I3 likely to excel conspicuously. For example. Reliance will prove better than the challenger almost to a verity In reaching races. She Is a mar vel at reaching, while Shamrock III Is ra ther deficient In that point. There are two races In which an excess of reaching will be had. These are the triangular ones and are scheduled as the second and fourth. On going to windward and running be fore the wind there Is not likely to be much difference between the boats In the judgment of a good many yachtsmen. The Reliance Is more of a known quantity. measured by a standard of comparison with other boats, than the Shamrock III, and Is rated as fast on the wind. On one point there seems to be no question that In power the home boat ex- No Appetite Means loss of vitality, vigor or tone, and is often a pre cursor of prostrating sick ness.

Norton Davis "Weakness" "Weakness" Is not a nervous dis order, demanding a tonic system of treatment, but is merely a symp tom ot chronic Inflammation or congestion In the prostate gland. This congestion exists as a result of early dissipation or some Im properly treated contracted disor der, and requires mainly carefully directed local treatment, ay our own original "methods, the prostate gland Is quickly restored to its nor mal state. -Which results in full and complete return of strength and vigor, our cures are permanent oe cause the condition responsible for tne iuncuonai aisoruer is entirely removed, and we are convinced that by no other method Is a radical cure of this ailment possible. Contracted Disorders In no ailment peculiar to men Is a prompt and thorough cure so es sential. Contracted disorders tend to work oacKwara until tne most vital centers become Involved In the Inllammatlon. Then follows a chronic stage that stubbornly, re sists all ordinary treatment. Safety demands that every vestige of In fection he eradicated at tne earnest possible moment. Our treatment Is thorough. The remedies employed have a more positive action than has ever before been attained, and so perfect Is our method of appli cation mat even enronic cases yiem completely. Healing Obstinate Cases eases peculiar to me present a dif ficult problem to the average physi cian. Some cases are more com plex than others, and consequently more difficult to cure. There Is one reason wny we ukb to treat' aucn cases. Difficult cases afford the ka.t nnoclhla HoTnnnjjtm t Inn of our superior methods and skill.

Specific Blood Poison Others dose the system with min eral polson3 scarcely less danger ous than the disease itself. The best they hope to do by this treat-, ment Is to keep the disease from manifesting its presence upon the surface ot the body. Under our treatment the entire system Is cleansed. The last taint of virus is destroyed. Every symptom van ishes to appear no more. We use harmless blood-cleansing reme dies heretofore unknown In the treatment of this disease. They cure by neutralizing and absolutely destroying the poison In the sys tem. Such cures cannot be other wise than complete and permanent. Varicocele Many who are but slightly af flicted with varicocele believe that the trouble Is of little consequence. The opposite Is true. Varicocele Is a disease of a progressive nature. As It advances nervous complica tions come, power diminishes and the general health becomes im paired. We cure varicocele without the use of a knife, ligature or caus tic, without pain, and without de tention from business. Stricture Our treatment for this disease Is entirely independent ot surgery.
