Captain Harber and Admiral Hig
giuson Disagree.
SHARP SPAT WITH LAWYER
Witness Angered Because Counsel
Shook His Finger at Him and Tried
to Refresh Memory—Schroeder Says
Schley Should Have Gone In Closer.
Washington, Sept. 22. —A sharp spat
between Mr. Kayner, of counsel for
Admiral Schley, and Captain Harber,
who was still on the witness stand yes
terday morning, was the feature of the
Schley court of inquiry most interest
in;; to the spectators yesterday. Cap
tain Harber. who was the executive
oflicer of the battleship Texas during
OAPTATN T.IMIT. JTJDGE ADVOCATE.
the war with Spain, objected to the
lawyer's close questioning and what he
considered an attempt to put words
innto his mouth. Mr. Rayner said he
wanted to refresh the memory of the
witness, who replied that he believed
the lawyer had an ulterior motive. He
also expressed his anger because the
lawyer shook his finger at him.
Captain Harber's testimony dealt
with the movements of the flying
squadron before the arrival of Admiral
Sampson upon the scene, and in some
instances conflicted with the evidence
given by Rear Admiral Higginson on
Friday. His attention was called to
this, and he retorted that it was im
material to him what evidence had
been given by any other witness.
Admiral Higginson was recalled and
rros.s-exaiwined at length upon his tes
timony regarding the distauee of the
blockading ships from the shore. He
corercted his statement made that the
fleet was only two or three miles out,
and said that it was, early in the
blockade, five or six miles out, mov
ing up closer later.
Schroeder On the Stand.
The only new witness of the day
was Commander Seaton Schroeder,
who was executive officer of the battle
ship Massachusetts during the war and
is now governor of the island of Guam.
His testimony dealt with the cruise of
the (lying squadron from Cienfuegos to
Santiago and the bombardment of the
Spanish ship Cristobal Colon as she
lay in the mouth of the harbor at San
tiago on May 31.
The commander said that the cruise
was not as expeditious as it should
have been. He also said that in the
bombardment of the Colon the fleet
had not acted as deliberately as the
commander-in-chief had announced it
to be his purpose to have it act.
While Commander Schroeder was
giving his testimony Judge Wilson, of
counsel for Admiral Schley, sought to
have him make a comparison of the
distance of the fleet from the shore
under Admiral Schley with the dis
tance under Admiral Sampson after
the latter officer arrived and took com
mand. but the judge advocate objected,
and Hr. Wilson withdrew the ques
tion. saying, however, that he did so
only temporarily, and that he would
raise the point at a later stage in the
invest igation.
At 3.40 p. m.the court adjourned un
til Monday.
GENTLE SLAP AT SCHLEY
Higginson Says He Made No Great At
tempt to Destroy Colon.
Washington, Sept. 21. —The Schley
court of inquiry reconvened yesterday
and before adjournment examined
four witnesses. The most Important
incident of the day was the decision of
the court withdrawing a question, put
by the court itself, asking a witness
to give his opinion concerning a point
in controversy. The witness was Rear
Admiral Higginson. who participated
in tlie Santiago campaign an captain
of the battleship Massachusetts. This
vessel at one time was a part of the
flying squadron commanded by Com
modore Schley and the court asked
him to state whether all possible
measures were taken to capture or de- ,
stroy the Spanish vessel Christobal
Colon as it lay in Santiago harbor from
May 27 to June 1, 1898. Counsel for
Admiral Schley objected to the ques
tion on the ground that a reply would
involve an opinion and not a state
ment of facts. Judge Advocate Lemly
admitted that the precedents were
against questions of this character,
and the court withdrew this interroga
tory. It is generally admitted that this
decision will have the eeffct of ma
terially shortening the term of the
court, as will also the courts mani
fest intention to cut out irrelevant
questions and hearsay testimony. In
several cases the witnesses were ad
monished to relate only events coming
within their own observation. Admiral
Dewey showed himself a prompt and
methodical presiding officer. He called
the court to order exactly at the desig
nated hour and adjourned It just as
promptly at 4 o'clock.
Admiral Higginaon the First Witness.
Rear Admiral Higginson was the
first witness called. Speaking of the
conditions when tlie Santiago harbor
i was reached, the admiral said that
, he rould see well into the harbor and
; that he saw the Spanish ship Colon ly
ing in the outer harbor. He did not re
member seeing other vessels, but the
i Colon was then 1,000 yards beyond
; Morro Castle.
The vessel had lain there until she
was fired upon, which was done on May
31, and had then retired.
"Where was Admiral Schley during
■ the bombardment?"
"At one time he was with me in the
i conning tower, but most of the time he
: was on the outside of it. I was near
; him most of the time."
I "Describe the admiral's manner in
j this engagement."
"I hardly know how to answer that
1 question, except to say that his man
j ner was that of a commander-in-chief."
! Then the court announced that it had
some questions to ask. One of these
| created the sensation of the day. The
question was:"Was every effort made
; by Admiral Schley to destroy or cap
j ture the Spanish steamer Colon as she
: lay at anchor in the harbor at Santiago
between the 27th and 31st of May?"
"Object," "object," "object." came
from each of Admiral Schley's counsel,
but before a halt could be called the
witness had replied: "No, I don't think
it was."
Mr. Rayner was still arguing the
question when the court adjourned.
At the beginning of the afternoon ses
sion the court withdrew the question.
Major Woods' Testimony.
Major Wood said that the second day
after Santiago bay was reached by the
"Flying Squadron" he had seen the
Christobal Colon lying inside the har
bor; that there was at that time an
other Spanish vessel of the Vlzcaya
class partly visible. He thought both
were in view for three or four days.
The witness also said that when Ad
miral Schley had come aboard tin'
Massachusetts previous to the bom
bardment of the Colon on May 31 he
had heard that officer say to Captain
Higginson: "We are going in. but we
will not go in sufficiently near to en
danger the vessels." He had been told
that the distance was to be 10,000 feel.
After the bombardment ceased, Ma
jor Wood said, the Spanish shore bat
teries continued to fire at the American
ships. At this point he had gone for
ward, where he had again seen Com
modore Schley.
"Did you hear orders or instructions
given by Commodore Schley after the
bombardn:ent?" asked the judge advo
cate.
"I went upon the superstructure to
ask if we were going in again, or going
any closer, so as to know whether we
would have a chance to use the six
inch batteries of which I was In com
mand and I heard, as I believe, Com
modore Schley say to Captain Hlggin
son: 'Starboard your helm, and let's
get out of this.' "
Harber's Interesting Answers.
Captain Harber was asked, in the
absence of Captain Philip, to give a
detailed account of the operations of
the Texas during the war, and he did
so. The Texas had been a part of the
"Flying Squadron." and the witness
said that when they steamed for Cien
fuegos the flagship had signalled: "We
goto Cienfuegos to bag the Spaniards;
wish you good luck."
Did Not See the Texas Stop.
Captain Harber was then asked con
corning the position of the Brooklyn
relative to the Texas and to the other
ships when be first saw her after the
turn.
"The Brooklyn," he replied, "was on
the port bow of the Texas, standing at
an angle I should say approximating
one-half point to the southward of the
heading of the Texas. At that time !
the Oregon was just forging past us on
the starboard side, in shore. The lowa
was still farther in shore and pointing
up, so that her bow overlapped ourl
bow. At one time I know that we fired
across the stern of the lowa."
"Where were the Spanish vessels ]
with reference to the heading of the ,
Texas?"
"The head of the line was then on
our starboard bow, I should say, ap
proximately four points on the bow." j
Recurring to the Brooklyn, he said j
he had seen that vessel immediately
after it had executed the loop, when (
it was on the port bow of the Texas, j
about 800 feet distant. The Texas was
not then moving at her full speed, be- '
cause the Oregon was passing her. If j
the Texas at that time backed or 1
stopped he was not aware of the cir- i
cumstance.
BOERS IN CAPE COLONY
British Alarmist Says Burghers Are
Within Forty Miles of Capetown.
London, Sept. 23.—A most alarming [
letter from Cape Town is published to
day by the Daily Express. The writer |
says:"The Boers are overrunning
Cape Colony. They are on both the
coast lines and within 40 miles of Cape
Town. Even the intelligence depart
ment does not know how many colon- ,
ial rebels have taken up arms In the
last fortnight. The town guard of Cape
Town has been ordered to hand in the
magazine rifles and ammunition, osten
sibly because these are wanted at the
front. Martini Henry's have been
served out instead."

A STfiONGWNDIDATE
IJtory of the Career of Republican
Nominee for State Treasurer.
AS FARMER AND WOODSMAN
From An Humble Boyhood He Has
Risen to a Position of Prominence
•nd Influence—His Loyalty to Party
Has Merited Recognition Given Him.
Philadelphia, Sept. 24.—An the cam
paign progresses interest Increases In
Hie personality of each of the candi
dates on the Republican state ticket.
The Republican nominee for state
treasurer, Hon. Frank G. Harris, of
Clcarlield, is perhaps the best known,
on account of his activity In public
life and his official career as a member
of the general assembly. Mr. Harris
will probably be called upon to take
the stump later in the canvass, but
| bit coloo the R#] pulbllean ticket,
HON. FRANK G. HARRIS, ""
Republican Nominee for State
Treasurer.
| Justice W. P. Potter, of Allegheny, on
account of his occupying a seat on the
supreme bench, to which he aspires to
election by the people, will make no
speeches, and will not otherwise take
| any part in the campaign.
Mr. Harris was born at Karthaus,
Clearfield county, Pa., November 5,
1845. He is the second son of John
Harris, a native of the city of Glasgow,
Scotland, who came to America In 1840,
and settled in Clcarfleld county and
worked as a miner and furnacoman.
Ilis mother was Eleanor Graham, who
was born in Centre county. The
mother died when Frank was but 3
years oid, and was buried at Polk Fur
nace, Clarion county. Pa.
At the dvath of his mother the home
was broken up and the boys found
a home among friends. Frank G. Har
ris, the subject of this sketch was taken
into the home of Samuel C. Patchin,
who married his aunt, Hetty Graham,
where he lived and grew to manhood.
John Harris, the father of Frank G.
Harris, was married a second time, his
second wife being Eliza Scott, of
Brookville, Pa., where the father died
in 1855. Frank G. Harris and his
younger brother, Bruce, are all that
remain of the family. From the time
he was 12 years of age, when his early
school life ended, Frank worked on the
farm in the summer and in the winter
worked In the lumber woods and on
a saw mill, and became a practical
farmer and lumberman. At the ago of
15 he made his first trip down the Sus
quehanna as a raftsman, and at 20 he
was one of the best pilots on the river
Frank G. Harris early iuherlted his
Republicanism from the Patchins and
from George Atcheson, a stalwart Irish
Abolitionist, who lived a neighbor to
the Patchins, and who kept a station
on the underground railway for runa
way slaves and often employed young
Harris to drive his team, at night, to
Sammy Rank's in Indiana county,
where the escaping slaves were turned
over to Rank to be hurried onto the
next station.
AS SCHOOLMASTER AND LAWYER.
At the age of 24, Frank G. Harris
entered Dickinson Seminary at Wtl
llamsport, Pa., from which he was
graduated in June, 187 a. In Septem
ber, 1873, he entered Lafayette Oollego
at Easton, and graduated from that in
stitution in the famous class of 1876.
In the fall of 1876 he was elected prin
cipal of the Clearfield grammar schools,
which position he tillod until 1881. On
January 14, 1879, he was admitted to
tho Clearfield county bar aw a student
of Murray & Gordon, and on April 15,
1879, he married Elizabeth F. Haird,
daughter of Benjamin Baird, of Clinton
county, Pa., his wife having a
teacher in the seminary whore ho met
her when a student. For 2.1 years Mr.
Harris has been a successful practi
tioner at the Clearfield bar, and during
all his life lie has been a stalwart
Republican, serving his party chair
man, as delegate to state conventions
and upon tho stump faithfully and well.
Much of the credit of turning a Dem
ocratic majority of 2,500 into a Repub
lican majority of 1,500, twid making
Clearfield county a stalwart Republi
can county, is due to the able leader
ship of Frank G. Hurris. In 1896, Mr.
Harris was u:„\id to bocome a candi
date for the legislature, to which he
was elected by 1,400 majority. He was
re-elected in 1898 and again in 1900.
In 1899 he served on tho judiciary gen
eral committee, and other important
committees, and as chairman of the
committee on fish and game, and was
the author of the game law of 1897.
During the session of 1599 Mr. Har
ris served as chairman of the judi
ciary general committee, the most im
portant legislative committee in the
house, and because of his fairness and
ability ho was reappointed chairman
of the same committee for the session
of 1901. In 1001 he was a candidate
for the speakership, but withdrew in
tke Interest of harmony and supported
Hon. fl. T. Marshall tov that place.
BHLIBVES IN MAJORITY RULE.
CeU'jviag In thu principle of the
right *t the majority to rule, Mr. Har
ris vited lor Hon. Boies Penrose for
UulWd States senator in 1897, and for
Hon. M. S. Quay In 1898 aud in 1901.
Many of the most important bills that
have become laws since 1896 were in
troduced aud supported by Frank G.
Hants; and the famous anti-oleomar
garine law of 1901 in the interest of
fbo Pennsylvania farmers was intro
duced into the house and supported
by him. Tho whole legislative career
of Frank O. Harris has been fair, up
right and honorable, and his ability
and Integrity are unquestioned.
W. O. Smith, of the Punxsu
tawijey Spirit, who has known Mr.
Hart is f°' - many years, and who
•ervyd with him in the legislature,
says "Frank G. Harris, our neighbor
fronj Clearfield, who received the nom
ination for state treasurer, is a man
of *terling qualities, who will per
form the duties of that office in a
munuer that will reflect credit upon
his party and upon the state. He is a
man for whom overybody who admires
pluck and perseveranco should take
pleasure in voting. Left an orphan
boy in early childhood, he struggled
up through poverty and toll to an hon
orable position among men. Mr. Kel
ley, in placing him in nomination, said
he had known Frank Harris from child
hood. and had never known him to do
a dishonorable act. Men are true to
their characters, and a man who has
kept his integrity for more than 50
years and won tho confidence and es
teem of his neighbors, is a safe man
to trust."
A DEMOCRATIC TRIBUTE.
And Matt Savage, of the Public
Spirit, thu leading Democratic paper
of Clearfield. Mr. Harris' home, says:
"Mr. Harris is known at homo and
abroad as a man of high character,

and unquestioned ability." For SO years

A MODKUUSTICE
Republican Nominee for Supreme
Court Has a Brilliant Record.
THE STORY OF HIS CAREER
A Hard and Devoted Student and a
Suceseeful and Popular Member of
the Bar, Who H»6 Won the Respect
and Admiration of the Psople.
The Republican candidate for asso
ciate justice of the supreme court of
Pennsylvania. Hon. William Plutner
Potter, of Allegheny county, has had
an interesting career. lie will not be
preterit nt nny of the political pather
ings during the campaign, but the ora
tors will have an opportunity to speak
for him and in his behalf, and they
can point with pride to bis brilliant
record as a member of the bar and a
justico on the supreme bench. Justice
Potter is a man whose instincts and
HON. WILLIAM P. POTTER,
Republican Nominee for Supreme
Court Justice,
training combined give him especial
qualifications for the supreme bench.
When his name was first mentioned
in connection with the supreme judge
ship tho beuch and bar of Allegheny
county were of one accord in acknowl
edging lils possession of that even
tempered nature and broad and gener
ous culture which are so essential to
the judge in the uiinds of all who cher
ish high Ideals In government. With
potential friends In nearly every craft
and calling In tho community, the sat
isfaction over his appointment to the
supreme bench in September, 1901, was
universal in the community In which
tie has resided and is so widely known.
Justics Potter was born in lowa
April 27, ISS7, being a son of James
H. Potter, a Presbyterian clergyman.
He Is of Seotch-Irish ancestry, his
great grandfather, Henry Potter, hav
ing emigrated from the north of Ire
land about the year 1800, and settled
near Pittsburg, where the subject of
this sketch now resides with his wife
and two daughters, he having married
Miss Jessie Deacon, of Des Moines,
lowa, In 1884.
His early life revealed an ambition
to accomplish something in the world
and that youthful restlessness so com
mon to tho majority of ambitious young
men, induced him to leave Lafayette
College, at Easton, before his course
had been completed in order to accept I
a position in a bank and earn his own
livelihood.
His love for books, however, con-
' tinned to assort itself and a strong
predilection lor the law finally led him
j to enter upon a course of legal studies,
' us a result of which he was admitted
to the lowa bar In 1880. In the fol
-1 lowing year he returned to Pittsburg,
| where he devoted himself to an addi
i tional and thorough ceurse of study,
I qualifying himself for a rigid exami
! nation for admission to the Allegheny
j county bar, of which he became a
member In 1883. After six years' prac
| tlce he formed a partnership with Wil
| liam A. Stone, then a member of con
: gres3 and at present Governor of i'enn
i uylvar.ia.
1 SECRET OK HIS ADVANCEMENT.
From the date of his admission to
the Pennsylvania bar he made steady
' and substantial progress, and If the
j query were asked, what has been the
! secret of that advancement the answer
; would be this:
Eighteen years of unremitting toil
' over books and briefs; 18 years of bat
; ties with the mo3t astute adversaries
| of the profession from all of which
i struggles he emerged with honor and
| from most of which he emerged with
■ victory; 18 years of determination to
win the esteem of his contemporaries
I by keeping abreast with the progres
sive thinkers and workers of his time.
His practice at the bar while touch
, Ing almost every branch of the law
has beon principally directed to com-
I merclal causes. His widely known de
■ votion to the law, his skill in the eon
| duct of critical cases and his marked
1 fledlity to the interests of his clients
brought him an enormous practice, an
idea of the extent of which may bo
gleaned from the fact that during the
two years immediately preceding his
appointment to the supreme bench he
tried more cases than any other of the
800 members of the Allegheny county
bar. His direct examination of wit
nesses was always concise, clear, and
thorough, bringing out all the perti
nent facts in an orderly manner en
abling the jury to grasp every detail.
In cross-examination he excelled, and
during the latter years of Ins practice
he was regarded by the bar as one of
the leading authorities on medical
jurisprudence.
ALWAYS COURTEOUS; ALWAYS
CLEVER.
Invariably courteous to witnesses
and opposing counsel, he succeded in
developing his own case and weaken
ing the force of adverse testimony,
while retaining the good will of even
his opponent. While invective formed
no part of his nature, he could still
bo sufficiently severe with a dishonest
i or untruthful witness to break the
force of his testimony before the court
and jury. His questions, though they
came like thunderbolts, were so evi
dently fair that they aroused no pre
judice against him.
Uniformly considerate of his brother
lawyers, he retained their good will
oven after the hardest fought legal
battle. While not afraid to antagonize
the position of the court if need be,
! his demeanor towards the bench was
always most profoundly respectful and
his argumeuts were always listened to
with the most careful attention.
One of the most effective testimo
nials to his high standing at the bar
is to be found in the fact that in pre
senting petitions and documents for
the signature of the judges, Mr. Pot
ter's brief verbal statement of their
contents seemed always sufficient to
secure the proper action without fur
ther scrutiny by the court as to what
the papers contained. This confidence
in him on the part of the court, as in
all other cases, was gained only by
years of the strictest adherence to
truth in all his dealings with the bench
and bar.
His early association with banking
developed a taste for economics, and
ho lias been for many years a careful
student of finance and kindred sub
jects and has acquired a reputation in
that field. His intimate knowledge of
corporation and fiscal matters give
him a leadership in a community in

A HARD ANI) DEVOTED STUDENT.
He is a hard student in the very
broadest sense, having acquired a fine
library covering the very widest range
of scientific study; he is, moreover, a
devoted student of current history and
keeps thoroughly informed of all the
passing problems of any moment.
As the best key to a man's real char
acter is always the reputation he en
joys among those with whom he comes
in daily contact, It would gratify any
citizen of the commonwealth interest
ed in the supreme bench to hear the
unvaried expressions of members of
the legal profession and others who
are familiar with the character and
ability of Mr. Justice Potter. His
whole life has been characterized by
industry and integrity of the highest
order. His standing and success as a
citizen, a business man and a law
yer form the basis of that firm con
fidence which the community at largo
has in his future, as one of those into
whoL J keeping has fallen the most
sacred trust of the commonwealth.
Viewed from the standpoint of the
lawyer, in that cold, unsympathetic
light under which the legal profes
sion scrutinizes the judge, he is a
reliable and substantial figure. In
brief, he is a man whose nature
abounds in those sturdy qualities
which despise pedantry and pretense
and look askance upon shavn and so
phistry.
He brought to his present position
u broad general equipment and a deep
Human sympathy which has made him
a most valuable acquisition to the
bench.
FIRM AND COURAGEOUS.
While possessing a demeanor that is
simple and unaffected and a modesty
that Is native, his bearing is such
as always to bespeak that dignity
which is so becoming the exalted posi
tion to which he has attained.
Justice Potter, while firm and coura
geous in his convictions, is of a kindly,
chivalrous disposition, and with a
charming magnetism of person that
makes lasting friendships, and it was
these characteristics that enabled him,
eral character were successfully estab
bar in which be was often obliged to
employ the utmost limit of insistance
with his brother attorneys and the
court, in the trial of causes, to lay
aside the weapons of forensic strife,
and take with him the respect and
hearty good will of his late opponents
at the bar.
Justice Potter is a staunch Repub
lican, and instate and national politics
always took an active interest, believ
ing that the good citizen should enlarge
his field of usefulness by embracing
nil the opportunities afforded to aid in
the selection of properly equipped pub
lic officials. He is eminently equipped,
both physically and mentally, to dis
charge the trying duties devolving
upon a justice of the supreme court,
with ability, fidelity and fearlessness,
and an examination of his opinions,
already filed, shows evidences of legal
ability of a high order, and bespeaks
for l.im a long and useful career.
