BALL HEIRS DISAPPOINTED.

Government II Not Holding Any Such
Estate In Trust.
The treasury department has had
many inquiries from time to time about
the alleged estate of Joseph Ball, OF
Philadelphia, which is supposed to be
held in trust in the treasury depart
ment. The letters speak of this trust
and of an alleged s4-year lease given by
Mr.. Ball to certain valuable property
in Philadelphia.
Some time ago it was stated that ex-
President Harrison was interested as
an attorney in the estate. Many hun
dreds of people all over the country
have been drawn into the struggle foz
the money which they enormously inn
agine hes in the treasury awaiting dis
tribution.
To all Of these inquiries replies are
sent out informing the heirs" that
there Is no such fund in the treasury
and that the only record in the treas.
ury department of Joseph Ball, OF
Philadelphia" relates to a claim OF
about So 900 which he filed as an under.
writer against the government in 1901
for cargoes seized by the French. The
claim is one Of the ordinary French

A BIG TURQUOISE.
VIII Weigh Fully Eighty-Eight Car
ats When Cut and Polished.

Probably the largest and finest tur-
guoise ever taken from American soil
was received at Santa Fe, n. NJ, the
other day from southern New Mexico.
1t weighs about 176 carats and it is es-
timated by competent experts that it
will weigh fully So carats when cut and
polished.
It has the best color known, being a
delicate sky blue, just a shade lighter
than a bluebird's wing. This. with
number of smaller stones running from
forty to ten carats, was taken from a
newly-discovered mine, the location Of
which, it is believed, is in Lincoln coun-
ty, N. NJ.
Absolutely no details of the discovery
can be learned. The large stone is es-
timated to be worth $4,000.

TO MAKE HAULING EASY.

Experiments In the Use OF Steed
Trackways on Wagon RoaAs-
In accordance with the desire OF the
secretary of agriculture to promote
more extended experiments in the
use of steel trsckways on wagon roads,
the Office Of road inquiry has made
arrangements with the Cambria iron
works, of Johnstown, Pa, for rolling
special rails for this purpose, these ar
rangements to go into effect as soon
as definite orders from responsible par
ties amounting to one mile of track
are received.
The director of road inquiry and the
engineers of the iron company, after
much discussion. have agreed upon a
plan of track which promises to meet
all requirements It uses no wood in
construction and no cross ties for sup
port, but consists of simple inverted
trough OR channel of steel for each
wheel with a slightly raised bead on
the inside to guide the wheels, each
channel resting in bed Of gravel and
the two tied together occasionally to
prevent spreading.
Special devices for remounting are
provided at each joint The bearings
or tread for wheels is eight inches wide
the thickness about seven-sixteenths OF
an inch. The weight of the structure
is about 100 tons per mile of single
track road and it will be furnished in
small sections at the rate of $500 pei
mile.
The first order for track has been
given by the New York State Agri

WANTS RED CROSS PROTECTED.

Miss Clara barton Objects to Its Be-
ing Used ~ q Trade Mark.
Miss Clara Barton, president OF the
American Red Cross society, who has
just returned from the international
Red Cross conference at Vienna, said
that, excepting this country, the lead
ing nations had passed laws protecting
the title and insignia Of the Red Cross.
On this point, Miss Barton said:
1t was humihating to confess before
that great assemblage that in our
own enlightened country there
are 2s4 persons, corporations and
firms who are using the name
and sign OF the Bed Cross as
9 trade mark for private gain, and that
there are innumerable bodies of people
here who have founded Red Cross So
cieties for Local purposes and who are

organization It was sad to confess
that up to the present time the Ameri-
can congress has passed no law for the
protection Of the sacred emblem Of

It from being degraded The Bed Gross

the wealthy men Of the great republic
had not richly endowed their own Red
Cross, nor could they understand why

ANOTHER wARsHIP DISABLED.

Indiana Suffers Damage in Careless
ness in Docking 1t Halifax.
A Washington special to the New
York Journal and Advertiser says: The
matter Of the docking of the Indiana
at Halifax is now before the navy de-
partment in report from Capt. Taylor,
her commanding officer. The depart
ment officials try to make light of the
matter, but it is declared, nevertheless,
that the damage is really serious, which
will require extensive repairs as soon
squadron of evolution.
Although the docking was in charge
of Constructor Bowles, of the New York
navy yard, who had been sent to Hall
fax for that express purpose, the safety
Of the battle ship was endangered by
the failure of those in charge Of the
docking to observe the simple precau-
ton Of placing sufficient blocks under
those places along the keel where the
greatest weight should naturally come.
The distance between the keel blocks,
which are made of heavy oak timber,
seems to have been too wide to support
the enormous weight which vessels Of
the Indiana class is concentrated on the
lines of the turrets. After the ship had
been in the dock for few hours it was
discovered that the keel was cutting
through the oak blocks and that there
was q bulge under the forward turret.
Steps were at once taken to shore up
that part Of the vessel to prevent further
settling.
The ends OF the blocks which had been
crushed, had been forced up and had
indented the plating of the ship about
six inches in length and about one-hah
of an inch in depth on both sides.
Officers who are in the secret Of the
matter say that an investigation 70 flx
the responsibility for this accident viii
have to be called. The dock officials at
Halifax are known to have expressed
regret, feeling that there may be a dis
position IA the United States to think
them capable OF Intentionally allowing
the safety of the American battle ship
to be placed in jeopardy, when such was
not the case.
