In Mathematics.
NEW HAVEN, Dec. 30.-Probably
the most interesting thing brought out at
the congress of scientists now in session
here is the discovery by the American
Psychological society of Arthur f. Grif.
fifth, a mathematical prodigy. That the
young man is a prodigy is beyond dis
pute, and his wonderful performances
have amazed the learned men Of the con-
gress.
Two Yale savants Of mathematics,
Professors Andrew Phillips and w. II.
Beebe, have put the youthful wonder to
the severest tests known to science, but
never once thus far has he failed.
Arthur +. Griffith is 10 years old. and
while marvel in n strictly mathematical
sense he is an infant in all other matters.
AS starter Griffith was asked to give
the product of All and 90. Before the
question was fairly asked he had given
the answer, 9T,995. Multiplying 6T6 by
241, he gave the answer, 1G2 1916, quicker
than an ordinary writer could have plac-
ed the original numbers one beneath the
other on a slate.
Young Griffith is not college student.
In fact, he could not pass the entrance
examinations. Neither does he know any
thing of the higher mathematics, such as
logarthms, calculus, geometry, algebra
and the like. His forte is numbers only.
Griffith is typical country lad, with
an ungainly body and big feet and hands.
He has a splendidly shaped head, howev-
er, with bright face and very keen eyes.

Banker Cole Arrested.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30.-The war.
rant for the arrest of Charles III. Cole,
formerly of the Globe bank of Boston, on
n charge of embezzling 100000 has ar
rived. The United States marshal also
received a telegram from the attorney
general of the United States directing
him to conduct Cole to Boston under
guard. Cole waived a preliminary ex-
animation, and the start for Boston was
made today. The warrant contains four
counts The first charges Cole with re-
ceiving 100000 on Aug. last and en-
bezzling it, and the second accuses him
of embczzlng 100000 on Aug. II. The
other two counts simply refer to these
transactions.

SEA MYSTERY SOLVED.
Divers Find Lost Schooners Hanscom and
Pace.

Government divers who have been
a, work on the bottom of the sea, at
Montauk Point, have returned with
the story that the skeletons Of the
crews of the schooners Howard H.
Hanscom and James B. Pace were
found lashed to the rigging of the
vessels.
The divers will be sent back to re-
lease the skeletons and to bring them
ashore for burial. Identification, of
course, will be impossible.
The vessels fouled each other while
scudding before the great November
storm year ago. The shock and
sinking of the vessels must have fol-
lowed so suddenly as to leave the men
no time for loosenlng the ropes that
held the unfortunate sailors to the
vessels rigging.
The divers will make more thor
Ough investigation of the condition of
the vessels and if practicable, steps to
raise them will be taken.
The loss of the Hanscom and Pace
and their discovery at the bottom of
the Atlantic solves an ocean mystery
that has puzzled sailors for year.
The two vessels were about the best
known of their class on the entire At
lantic seaboard.
The Hanscom was built at and
hailed from New Haven, and her mas
ter, Captain Mark Holmes, belonged
there. She sailed from Philadelphia
on November 20, 1898, for Provi-
dence with I,Ioo tons of btuminous
coal. The Pace left Philadelphia on
November IS for Boston, with 1900
tons of coal. She was commanded
by Captain Garfield, of West Dennis,
Mass. The two captains were bosom
friends.

FILIPINO PLOT FAILS.
An InsurrectiOn, Aided by Bombs
Hatched In Manila.


MANILA, Jan. 1.-Four explosive
bombs, few firearms and 800 rounds Of
ammunition were discovered in house
in the center of Manila while the police
were seeking Recarte, the insurgent lead
er, who was said to have come to Manila
in the hope of effecting an outbreak by
taking advantage of the mobilization Of
the American troops at General Law
tons funeral.
1t has developed that the plot included
the throwing of bombs among the for
eign consuls attending the ceremony in
order to bring about international COM
plications. These, it seems, were to
have been thrown from the Escolta's high
buildings, but the avoidance of the Es-
colta by the funeral procession spoiled
the plan.
The populace, it is Thought, had been
prepared for the attempt by rumor cir
culated widely among the natives that
Aguinaldo was in Manila and would per-
sonally lead the outbreak. The Ameri-
can authorities, having been advised of
what was brewing. prepared for all con-
tingencies.

yesterday afternoon in FIVE rounds Of a

the men agreed to fight for that. Then
there was another long squabble over

the rule that the club furnish gloves be
followed. Mccoy yielded at last, and the
fight began.
