The keeper next led the blind girl to

her to stand on box so that she could
pass her hands over the whole statue,

Waiting awhile. she addressed the
small audience from her pulpit of wood,
after this fashion, her left hand, with

GETTING GOLD WITH BONDS.
A Story Which Was Denied at the Treasury
Department.

1t was stated today on seemingly good au-
thority that Secretary Foster is now issuing
bonds, or certificates to be converted into
bonds, in order to replenish the stock Of gold
in the treasury. The ISSUE it was said. was made
under the provisions of section OF the re-
sumption act and over fifty millions are to be
issued. 1t was represented today that it was
the purpose of the department to have the
bonds issued and the gold in its possession be-
fore public announcement of the issue is made,
and therefore Secretary Foster would not give
out the facts.
Henry W. Cannon was here on Sunday and it
is said that before noon Monday all plans had
been completed for the placing of the full vol
ume OF bonds to be issued and the department
began at once to carry out the plan, the pur-
pose being not to put the bonds into the open
market.
The authority referred toSays that the state
ment that gold is being secured by exchange
with the banks Of greenbacks for gold discloses
only one feature of the transaction and
aids in the concealment of the rest until
such time as it is considered by the
department to be wise. from a business
point of view, to disclose the whole plan The
greenbacks that are in the hands Of the govern
ment or coming in from time to time do no:
amount to what is regarded as sufficient
for the present emergency. and the ex-
change is but temporary expedient.
Starting with $4,000, 600, the plan. as outlined
to a STAR reporter, contemplates the issue
OF as much more as the circumstances demand
even up to the limit of the entire amount of
outstanding greenbacks. provision for the re-
demption Of which gives the excuse and legal
authority for the issuance of the bonds.
The Statement about the issuing of bonds
was denied emphatically by Secretary Foster
this afternoon.

DISCORD AMONG HARMONYITEs.
Serious Charges Made Against Presiden
Duss and Associates.

Serious Charges Made Against President
Duss and Associates.
PIrrsBURG, Pa. Feb. 1O.-The long-looked-
for legal battle is on the Harmony Society.
A bill in equity was filed today
in behalf of Benjamin Feucht and others
against President John Duss and the members of
the society praying for the appointment of a
receiver to wind up the affairs of the
community; second, for an injunction to
restrain Trustees Duss and Sieber from
encumbering, selling or assigning the property
and assets Of the society; third. that
these trustees be ordered to in full for the
assets since their management; fourth, that
Duss and Sleber be ordered to pay over to the
receiver the amount Of losses sustained under
their management; fifth, that an order be made
FOR the dissolution OF the Harmony Society
and division of the assets.
Feucht and all the other petitionersare men,
bers of the society. In these petitions gross
Encouragement on the part of the trustees is
alleged.
1t sets forth that recently the society had
property valued at "a 900 600. but that a great
deal of this had been lost and the petitioners
now believe that the society is insolvent That
within six years Duss has sold 81 900 900 worth
of valuable stocks. ostensibly for the payment
OF debts, which debts were contracted through
the fraud, neglect and Encouragement of
Duss.
1t is also alleged that the principles Of the
society have become obsolete. That Duss and
Sieber are living in luxury with their wives,
whereas the main principle of the organization
is celibacy; that the other members of the
society are compelled to exc out precarious ex-
istences; also that the board Of elders are con-
frrned and common drunkards instead of
spiritual leaders.
Duss. it ia alleged, has sought to cast dis
creditupon the teachings of the founder of
said society, has declared that it is a question
whether the historical Christ or the
Christ of the Christians was the true Christ
and has preached the doctrines Of
one Cyrus iced, a pretended divine living
in Chicago, in the state Of Illinois. and has
courted a sympathy with one Michael X. Mills,
commonly known as Prince Michael of De-
troit, another pretender of divine attributes.
who is now serving term Of Imprisonment for
the commission of a crime.

THE GARBAGE CONTRACT.

The Contract to BE Carried on by the Ma
tiOnal Sanitary Company.
Contractor Clark wants to give up his gar
bage contract.
He wants to transfer it to the National Sani-
tary Company Of Baltimore, which has recently
erected in this city large plant for the de-
struction Of garbage.
1t will be recalled that when Mr. Clark first
undertook this contract it was claimed by many
that he was only acting as the agent Of the Ma
tional Sanitary Company Of Baltimore, and
that they really we're the contractors.
This, however. was not the fact, although
they were somehow connected with Mr. Clark.
The latter used the steel carts Of the Sanitary
Company and agreed to furnish it with
all garbarge collected. In the appropria-
ton bill of last year there was a clause
allowing 80 cents per ton for every ton OF garb-
age removed in a steel car and immediately
destroyed. This money, Aowever, was never
used, as at that time there was no plant for
the destruction Of garbage. The National
Sanitary Company, however. has recently
erected plant and the present appropriation
bill contains clause identical with tine one of
last year.
The Commissioners, of course. cannot agree
to change OF contract They will hold Clark
and his bondsmen responsible for the removal
of the garbage.
At the morning session OF the board Of Com
missioners TO-DAY Contractor Clark appeared
ana requested the Commissioners to approve a
power Of attorney giving the Sanitary Com
pany above referred to the right to draw all
money hereafter due him under his contract.
The Commissioners replied that they had no
disc ,etion in that matter and that he had the
right under the law to issue power Of attorney
to any one.
This Is perhaps the solution Of the whole mat
ters The National Sanitary Company will do
the work under Mr.. Clarks contract and re-
ceive the money therefor.

IN JAIL FOR CONTEMPT.
County Judges Suffer imprisonment Rath
Than Order a Tax Levy.

County Judges Suffer Imprisonment Rather
Than Order Tax Levy.
KANSAS CITY. No.. Feb. 10.-County Judges
B. F. Copenhaver and Thomas hewitt of st.
Clair county, who are under sentence of con-
fneme mt in the Jackson county jail for con-
tempt of the United States court in refusing to
order tax levy to pay outstanding bonds Of
the county. returned to their quarters in Jail.
They had been home on furlough on the con-
sent of Judge Phillips.
1t was a sad mission that took Judge Co
penhaver temporarily from the Jail to his
home. His daughter Caroline. aged twenty
two, had become raving maniac. and
il WAS TO send her to an asylum
that the judge visited st. Clair. The
young woman's reason began to fail eight years
ago, when her father was in Jefferson City,
imprisoned by order of the late Judge Krekel
for exactly the same thing for which Judge
Phillips has cut off his liberty at present.
Judge Phillips has ordered Marshal Stewart
to give the prisoners only two hours exercise a
week instead of the four which they have been
getting. He also gave orders that they were
not to be allowed to so TO tine government
building to see him.

IN WALL STREET TODAY.
Trading Was in Moderate Volume and Prize
Somewhat Keceded.


Somewhat Receded.
New YORK, Feb. 10.--Trading in stocks this
morning was very moderate in volume,
but better tone was developed and
though fluctuations we're small prices
were maintained upon higher level than
those of last night The bears were still
aggressive especially in the stocks with an inter-
national market, but London was a moderate
buyer, and one Of the houses which was
to ship gold tomorrow is going to
send bonds instead. and the estimates
of the shipments, therefore. have
been materially reduced. Opening prices we're
in many cases lower than those of last night
but Big Four recovered the greater part of
yesterday loss, opening at 545s against 53$4
last evening.
A dropping tendency marked the early deal
ing. which, however, soon gave way to u strong
tone. and considerable covering of shorts fol-
lowed. Distillers was again advanced, con-
siderable excitement attending the early deal
ings. and from 81 it rose to 3S116.,
Other sharp gains we're lacking, but New
England was still strong. despite the official
denial of the story that the Rockefellers we're
in control Of the property, and from 4919 it
rose to SOL. The entire market showed small
gains, but little animation, and at IL o'clock
the market quiet but firm at a fractional
gain over first prices.
The speculation in stocks was exceedingly
tame after IL o'clock and with the cessation Of
the demand from the shorts prices re-
coded slightly from the best figures. No
movement of importance occurred except
in Delaware and Hudson. which retired
per cent to 1929. At noon the market was
quiet and steady generally at a shade better
than first prices. Sales of listed stocks to noon
lOO 700 shares: unlisted, IL 600.
