George Gould Forgets
Details of $3,000,000
Coal Deal
New York, Jan. 13. A verdict of
$G07,159 was returned by a Jury last
night1 in favor of John S. Jones, a
railroad promoter, in the third trial
of his suit to recover from George
Gould, Jos. Ramsey, Jr , and "Win. fi.
Guy damages for being "frozen out,"
as ho alleged, from the Little Ka
nawha syndicate, organized by" the de
fendants to develop coal fields in
Ohio.
Jones, at the two previous trials,
had recovered verdicts for more than
S500.000, which were reversed by the
appellate division.
Mr. Gould, the last witness to tes
tify, said he had contributed $3,000,
000 to a total of $8,000,000 raised by
the syndicate to take over options,
but when questioned by Jones' attor
ney concerning tho books and min
utes of the syndicate, made the smil
ing admission that tho matter was
of such little interest to him that he
had allowed the details to pass from
his memory. v-
Mr Gould said he presumed thore
must have been minutes of the man
ager's meeting, but would not say he
had ever seen any nor could ho re
call who the secretary was.
Great Canal Doubles in

Flagstaff, Ariz., Jan. 13 Observa
tions at the Lowell obsenatory show
that the Martian canal Titan has dou
bled since the last presentation of this
region six weelfa ago. The can
then was a Inglogosamdr-llko til
ament running nearly straight north
from the Gulf of Titan acioss the
equator and far into tho northern
hemisphere of the .planet.
A perfectly parallel line has now
appeared to the east of it, the dis
tance separating the twins bolng
somewhat more than a hundred mlle.
The filaments have no appieciable
width and they leave similar caret
like nicks in tho coastline as start
ing points.
Although of no bcnsible width, these
canals are perfectly straight and
enormously long, exceeding two thou
sand miles. They are stronrpst
nearest the nicks and have been in
creasing In visibility northward, which
shows that what gives rise to them
Is slowly traveling down, the disk
from the southern hemisphere, where
for months the snow cap has been
melting, into tho northern one, which
Is Just entering upon Its spring The
leave the great blue-green areas of
one hemisphero to traverse the Im
mense equatorial region to oases In

This doubling of certain Martian
canals at certain seasons is ono of
the mysteries of the great planot It
is ono of the many proofs that the
canals aro of artificial construction.

of othor citizens Hall armed with a
shotgun, secreted himself behind an
oil barrel standing on the curb oppor
site the bank and, when the bandits
