Caught Him
Saginaw, Mich. Aug. 1S.-Aftcr
mad chase through three counties. in
junction papers have been served on
L. II. Farnham. OF the Union Traction
company, in the court house here.
Farnham had been in the county
clerks office copying records before
his identity became known. Papers
We're also served on Treasurer Per
rine, of Detroit, but representatives OF
the company say that he had resigned.
Farnham'S accounts of his escapes
from Deputy Mcmillan are laughable.
In one instance Farnham jumped a
ditch and the deputy fell in, while in
another the deputy kept indoors the
members of the family where Farm
ham boarded at Mt. Morris so that
they could not give warning of his
presence. Representatives OF the trac-
tion company state that work is pro-
crossing rapidly and that they will
continue to push the work. The in
Junction will be fought by the COM

NOT A YELLOW PERIL
That Is Feared Among the "Ef-

BUT A TRADE TERROR FROM HERE
Combination Against Us Proposed OF
the Central European States
Edward Greets Beers.

Berlin, Aug. 1S.-Baron August Sar-
torious Won WaltershauSen, professor
of political economy at Strassburg
university, and one of the leading Ger
man authorities on United States sub
Jects, viii contribute Il striking article
TO forthcoming number of The Zeit-
Schrlft fur SocialwiSsebschaft on the
United States of Central Europep
The writer Will argue that the central
European states Will sooner or later
be compelled TO erect common tariff
barrier against the aims of the United
States to economic ascendency. or
against those OF greater Britain. with
greatly moderated tariffs and perhaps
free trade between themselves.
Predicts a Great Teutonic Union.
Baron Won WalterShaJrSen believes
that Il complete political I'M
ion between Germany, Austria, SwitZ-
erland, Belgium and Holland is prob
able, and that this union will give
these countries an impregnable econ
omic position. The baron viii argue
also that great states like the United
States and Russia possess recuperative
powers superior TO those of the isolated
and small countries of western Europe.
In support of this statement he in
stances the fact that the United States
issued loans at per cent. at the end
of the civil war, and refunded these
loans at per cent. in 1892.

has been forwarded to Judge Henry
G. Ide, secretary of finance in the

nant. who was in the Philippines last
summer for the purpose of studying
coinage and banking conditions there.
COnant says Ii appears that mortgage
loans under government guaranty are
successful even under the conditions
existing In Turkey. and that Lord Gro
mer is preparing to extend the system
in Egypt
The National Bank of Egypt has al
ready made leans of about $2.000,O00
of this character. but az II is a COM
mercial bank II IS indispOsed TO lock
up further capital in this form of Sc
curity. 4 new bank Is therefore in
process Of formation to engage eXclu-
sively In small mortgage and agricul-
utral loans. The government Is TO
guarantee dividends of 3 per cent. on
the capital. and Is to employ the pub
lie tax gatherers, If necessary. to col
lect the interest on loans.
COnant said: Il have sent some in
formation on this subject TO the Phil
ipDine commission. If such
a plan succeeds in developing the ag-
ricultural resources of Turkey and
Egypt, and there is sufficient sense OF
financial responsibility among those
people to prevent serious losses, it is
possible that similar benefits could be
obtained in the Philippines. 1 know
that some means of aiding the farm
ers is a subject very close to the heart
of Governor Taft and Judge Ide."
