Huntington, principal owner of the ship
yard here, arrived on his private car short
iy before noon yesterday. The afternoon
was spent in inspecting the immense shin
building plant In an interview the mag
nate declared that there were no new de-
Veiopments in the ordnance and armor
plant projects, but that he fully expected
TO see them established here at some time.
Mr.. Huntington stated that improvements
aggregating $4,000 900 would shortly be
made to the plant here.
Mr.. Huntington's party will remain here
two or three days. 1t is composed of The
following people: Mr.. and Mrs Coils P.
Huntington, Miss C. NJ. Campbell. Fl +.
Huntington, and G. E. Miles, private sec
retary to the capitalist.
When Mr. Huntington went through the
shipyard yesterday he saw it buster than
ever before in its remarkable history. The
largest number of men ever employed in
the plant was at work. This was . 900 or
more. The work on the battleships and
the Morgan Liners. on the ships for which
keels are soon to be laid, and on the large
number of vessels at the yard for repair.
keeps the entire force busy, and such a
scene has probably never been witnessed at
any other American shipyard.

the corresponding week of 1898 The ship
ments for the year to February Is reached
5o6, .l3 tons. an increase of 2.346.94 tons

increase of 4,515.99 tons, and the Pennsyl-
yania, l40, ,17213 tons. decrease of 2, ,172 05

Cold weather kept down production and
snow blOckades on the railroads delayed
shipments, while the seaboard trade was
demoraized. The demand, too. was unus-
ual, but the consumer could not be reached
Spot coal, IL is reported, brought all sorts
of prices The demand for coal with the
advent of warm weather has already been
quite heavy.

spected resident of West Haven, is pris-
oner in the town hall there charged with

station last night just as he was meeting
Clara Leydon. Brooklyn girl, who had
answered this advertisement that Beach
had inserted in many papers:
WANTED-A Young girl in the home of az aged
man. widoweT, 10 read.
Beach was arraigned yesterday and his
case was continued until Saturday. He Is
held under So 600 bonds, which he has iai-
ed TO obtain. He has been under police
surveillance for some time. He advertised
under the name of Haynes Randall, Post
office box 1916. New Haven
He used the public library OF this city
as a meeting place. short time ago
New Haven girl who answered his adver-
tisement discovered what his purpose was
and reported her experience to the police.
Complaints were also made to the Law
and Order League by the parents of the
Leydon girl whom Beach went 10 meet
Wednesday night.
The parents of this girl discovered let
ters written by Beach to their daughter,
and they took steps to cause his arrest.

from her home yesterday, and that she
would meet Beach at the West Haven sta
tion. They sent word to the Law and Or
der League, and two detectives were sent
TO arrest Beach. When Miss Leydon left

fered to carry her handbag to his house,
near the station. Then he was arrested.

SECRETARY GAGE
SPEAKS IN RICHMOND
Addresses the Financiers of
the Old Dominion.
Explains Important Features of the
Financial System.
Urges the Abolition of the Present
PrOhibitory Tax Upon the Is
sue of Banks.

Richmond, Va. Feb. 23.-The sixth an
nual meeting of the Virginia Bankers AS
sociation, which was held here yesterday,
was largely attended. The orator and
guest of honor of the occasion was Sscre-
tary Gage. The meeting was attended by
all the best-known bankers in Virginia
and was an interesting one.
Secretary Gage chose as the theme of
his address The Condition of Banking
ture In Its Mechanism" The salient fea-
lures OF his address were:
First, that banking and all of it's ac-
companying incidents were instrumental
ties wrought out by great natural laws of
trade and finance, and were not the re-
suit of statutes; and
Second, that the largest possible meas
ure OF liberty consistent with the public
veal should be allowed in the transactions
between the citizen and his banker, 10th
in respect TO the terms of their contracts
and the issue of notes, which latter was
use of credit in facilitating the business
transactions of life.
In Illustration of these two great points
he described the evolution from original
barter and trade up TO the position where
In the highest civilization, d given quanti-
ty OF certain commodity was universally
accepted as a medium and measure OF ex-
change. Thus twenty-five and eght-tenths
grains of gold has acquired a specific val
ue and become an instrument and meas l =
OF exchange, not in consequence of any
statute for the lawmaker had found the
existence OF the fact and simply gave TO
this quantity of gold the name dollar"
In illustrating his second position be
pointed out the great advantage which
would accrue to the country, and especially
the points remote from the business cen
tres, OF permitting bankers and banks, un-
der reasonable restrictions, TO issue their
own notes. based upon their credit and as
sets, which liberty would inure to the ad-
vantage of the people and stimulate trade
and enterprise in sections which otherwise
are stagnating for want of sufficient capi-
tai. He made strong plea for the aboli-
tton of the present prohibitory tax upon
the issue OF banks other than those
porated under the present national bank
ing act, pointing out that the tax in ques-
uon was a desperate war measure the
wisdom of which was questionable. even
at the time, and whose continuance at this
date could not be defended

Company, was elected president of The as

yfoiets Bloom Under the snow

ST. Michael, Nd, Feb. 23.-The recent
heavy snowstorm has not had the effect
of killing everything in Talbot county The
little violet has withstood the chilling
blasts, and with the first warm rays of
the morning sun have lifted up their heads
in Col. James M. loves hotbed in St
Michael. Colonel Lowe takes great pride
in the cultivation of flowers and has the
reputation of having the finest winter vio-
lets in this section. He despaired of the
life of his flowers during the recent cold
weather, because they were exposed to
the chill air and had no sun. The snow,
however, drifted over the bed TO the depth
OF feet or more, and it was thought i'm
possible that the flowers could live. Yet
when the bed was dug out on Saturday
morning hundreds of full bloom violets
lifted their heads to the sunlight. The
violets were immense, many of them meas
uring nearly inches in circumference
and seemed to have thriven under the
snow. Colonel Lowe says it is wonderful
that the flowers could live through such
weather as the past week.
