being put into operation. Then, too,
1t is feared he will be q dangerous
man to have about when the Supreme
Court, which is directly under the
control of Castro, gives its decision in
the asphalt cases. Therefore 1t was
decided to drive him out of the coun-
try by newspaper abuse, and If that
failed to ask his recall.
Mr.. Loomis has probably done more
to assist Venezuela by drawing atten-
tion to her vast resources in his many
valuable commercial reports than any
other Minister ever sent here and he
has done more too for American com
merce along broad statesmanlike lines
than any other Minister we have had
here His capable, energetic efforts
are recognized and highly valued by
the honest, intelligent people of Vene-
zuela, and there will be genuine regret
on the part of the we'll wishers of this
country over his departure. Nor can
they fail to regret the woeful exhibi-
tion of ingratitude which the Caracas
Government has given the civilized
world.
During the absence of our Minister,
Hon. F. B. Loomis, Mr.. w. w. Rus
sell will discharge the functions of
Charge d'Affaires of the Legation. He
will retain the splendid residence of
Ananco.
Mrs. Loomis left on Saturday for
New York on board theS. S. Caracas" "
The Caracas Railway Station was
crowded at the moment of leaving by
friends who deplored the departure
from Venezuela of one of the most
! amiable personalities of the foreign
Z, colony. The sadness of the leave TAX
ing was somewhat lightened by the
numerous baskets of flowers which
| were brought for the traveller; but
! this did not render less ardent and sin
ceie the regrets that were expressed,
| for Mrs. Loomis by her affability had
won the sympathy and esteem of all
foreigners of Caracas and of many
Venezuelans who had learned to ap-
| preciate her excellent qualities. The
Venezuelan Herald wishes the charm
ing hostess of Ananco pleasant voy-
age and does not say good bye but au
revoir.

INVENTOR FELL
Into a Machine and Was Thrown Out Mass
Of Flesh.

Special to the Leader.
Philadelphia, Pa, April 26.-John
V. Rice, the young inventor who has
a handsome residence and laboratory
at Edgewater Park, N. j., today fell
victim to one of his numerous devices.
and now lies at the point of death, with
but slight chances of recovery.
Rice's speciality is high-speed en-
gines, and he has spent years in the
perfection of machine whose fearful
revolutions are beyond the scope of the
human eye. He was working on this
engine today when in an unguarded
moment he made a misstep and fell
backward into the intricate mass OF
machinery. Instantly he was thrown
out again, and then lay bruised and
bleeding mass on the floor of the lab
oratory, while the great product of his
genius sped frightfully on. A color
ed boy was in the laboratory at the
time, and not knowing what else to
do, ran screaming into the yard, which
attracted the attention of Mr.. Rice's
assistant. Help was summoned and
the injured man removed to his home.
Late this afternoon the doctors said
that he had a fighting chance for his
life
At the age of twelve years Rice's in
ventive genius developed, and many
were the peculiar and useful contriv-
ances that emanated from his fertile
brain. At the age of IS he had per-
fected high-speed engine that was a
marvel of all who saw it. He derived
comfortable income from the royal
ties of his patents. Rice is only about
SO years of age, and notwithstanding
his youth is the head of inventors or
ganizations both in New York and
Washington. He is equally prominent
in society in those places as well as IL
this city.

AMERICAN BIDDERS
HiIl Obtain Over Fifty Millions Of EngIand's
Loan.

London, April 26.-The aggressive
eagerness of the United States to alb
sOrb as much as possible of the new
issue of British consols is causing a
great stir in English financial circles.
Not only the brokers, but the editorial
quarters cf all classes are having a
go'' at the matter. Some of these well
come the invasion of the Yankees as
supplying a healthful financial and
economic stimulus. while others be-
moan what they profess to believe the
irretrieyable decline of Englands mon
etary supremacy.
Just how much of the new war loan
of e6O, 1000 900 t$3O0. 000, ,0O0) will go to
the United States remains to be seen.
J. Pierpont Morgan and his associates
have already taken care of $50 1000, 600
of the issue, and will probably stor
with that amount. They think that
all the other American bidders COM
bined viii scarcely get more than s5,-
OOO. 900.
One of the leading authorities of
Lombard street said TO the Cleveland
Plain Dealer correspondent: For
some years past the United States has
been rapidly changing its financial po-
sition. When it was young and COM
paratiyely poor English capitalists

They built railroads and made possible
the material development of the Unit
ed States. Consequently America be-
came in debt to Great Britain. Pro
dIgious amounts of United States Sc.
curities stuffed the vaults of London
firms.
Eventually the period of liquidation
set in. The growing wealth of the
Yankees enabled them to buy back
their securities in our own markets.
Not satisfied with thus wiping out
their debt, they have begun to bid
for our national loans and by so much
Of these loans as they get does London
lose its right to lay unqualified claim
TO the financial supremacy Of the
world"
The financial expert Of the Liverpool
Post puts down EngIand's diminish
ing monetary greatness TO the south
African war. He says. America by
war lost its mercantile marine. 1t is
to be hoped that Great Britain is not
by war imperiling its financial and
mercantile supremacy. Il would re-
quire a good many Dutch republics to
compensate for such a loss"

The following article, taken from the
Venezuela Herald, published at Cara
cas-, under the date of April Sth, will
be of interest to the many friends OF
Hon. Francis B. LOOMS:
A DIPLOMATIC EPISODE.
The United States Minister to vene-
zuela, the Hon. Francis B. Loomis,
leaves on the cruiser Scorpion" on
Monday for New York. He has been
granted leave of absence. His recall
was asked for by the. Venezuelan Gov
ernment but the Washington author
ities knowing the outrageous treat
ment to which he has been subjected
in Caracas, very properly declined to
comply with a request that was not
founded on either just or adequate
reason. II is not likely, however, that
Mr.. Loomis will return to Caracas. He
has been made target for the abuse
of the officially inspired press for
months. He, with the American
Navy and the Department of State,
have been attacked without fairness,
and without decency, and even Presi-
dent Mckinley has come in for low
caricature. All this has been done in
order to work up a sentiment of hos
tility to the administration at Wash
ington and particularly to Minister
Loomis. The plan to get Mr.. Loomis
recalled was made six months ago.
while he was in the United States.
Certain important officials here in
connection with few American specu-
lators- have vast schemes for enrich
ing themselves in hasty and irregular
ways at the expense of some American
investors who put large sums of mon
ey into the development of Legitimate
business enterprises in Venezuela.
The United States Government found
it necessary to make stern objections
to the plans of the official ring here
for depriving honest Americans OF
property without a hearing and Min
lister Loomis acting under orders,
made some very emphatic representa-
tions on the subject, which caused the
looters to halt and declare that they
meant no harm. The controversy
was ther sent to the Courts in con-
formity with the desires of the United
States Government but Mr.. Loomis
has not been forgiven for preventing
the ''get rich quick" plan which was

AN OLD BOOK.

Mr.. w. J. M. Hames has an old
book called "Atlas and General
Guide to History" published in
1920. 1t contains letter of rec
ommendation from w. II. Craw-
ford, of Georgia, who then occu-
pied a cabinet position at Wash
ington. The territory east of the
Mississippiriver is indicated by
states, constituted. with the ex-
ception IF Virginia, as they now
are, while west Of it there are no
states. A vast tract of land in
Guiding what are now the states of
Minnesota, the Dakotas, and num-
bers of others is designated as the
Northwest Territory" The area
lying along the Pacific Ocean and
the Rio Grande river then belonged
to Mexico. The following towns
in north Georgia appear: Carnes-
vile, Greensborough, Athens and
Washington. Marietta and At
lanta were not then "in it,. From
the thirty-fourth parallel of lati-
tude in Georgia to the northern
boundaries of the state, the coun-
try is marked "Cherokees, Fort
Early, F." Fort Mitchell" etc., are
located.
No railroads are laid down in
this book for they did not exist
then. Government highways, how
ever, are traced, one of which ex-
tended through the state, from
Alabama to Augusta; also one
from Augusta to Kingston, Tenn,
and one from Augusta to Savan.
nah.
The book is represented as being
"half bound'', and its Typography
and paper are not comparable to
those of the present time. 1t is
marked to sell for thirty dollars.
Such a publication would bring
now three or four dollars.
What changes a few years bring
about and what a glorious future
we may forecast from the achieve
me2ts of the past! 1t will be a
good thing to be alive a century
hence.

A JUST REBUKE.

After insulting the public opin-
ion of Atlanta by giving a so-called
sacred concert on Sunday for the
benefit of the soldiers home, the
promoters of the enterprise were
rewarded by an audience SO small
that the admission fees did not
pay the expenses of the entertain
ment. This is q gratifying sign.
1t shows that reverence for the di-
vinely ordained Sabbath still ex.
lists with the vast majority of the
people of Georgia, Notwithstanding
the contemplate efforts of small
minority to force upon America a
continental Sunday with all that
it implies.
Viewed from a merely secular
standpoint the christian observ-
ance of one day in seven-that is
as day of rest, an abstenance
from both business and pleasure, is
highly desirable in every respect.
The human body is not like Long
fellows brook; it cannot Ego on
forever" but like any other ma
chine must give both its physical
and intellectual parts a period of
relaxation that they may recup-
crate and thus be in condition
to perform their duties. Pleasure
causes excitement which if not
occasionally suspended is as inju-
rious to health as continued work.
Nowhere is vice more rampant
than in those countries where Sun.
day is made day of pleasure.
1t is stated that the inmates oil
the soldiers home approved of the
Sunday concert and attended it II
body, and appeared to greatly
enjoy it. 1t is further announced
that the subscriptions to rebuild
the home have greatly declined
and that on this account, the work
of rebuilding is still in the future
Have the people, because of the
action of the veterans in this anC
other respects, lost interest in the
movement? 1t is very probable
that the old soldiers, by their par,
tlcipation in the sacred" concert
have not helped their cause.

NO COWARD.

Commander Hodgson, who was
introduced as an anti-Schley wit
ness, proved something of dis
appointment to the Judge advo-
cate. He stated that throughout
the naval battle of Santiago Ad-
miral Schley remained on the
platform surrounding the coming
tower and in full view of the ene-
N.Y. his position being one of
great peril. His bearing was de-
scribed by the witness as that of
n brave officer and cool COM
mander. Lieutenant Commander
Hodgaon further testified that the
Brooklyn was never out of the
fight for moment. He declared
that when the flagship was MAX
ing her famous loop her guns
never ceased firing for moment,
and that she did not go seward
further than 600 yards. He de-
scribed in detail the chase of the
Spanish cruisers by the Brooklyn,
and declared that those response
BILE for the statement that the
latter made an effort to keep out
of the thick of the fight did not
know what they were talking
about.
