MILLIONS CLAIMED FOR
AN ILLEGAL SEIZURE.
Dayton Residents Probable
Heirs to Fortune.

Heirs of Benjamin Touchstone and
John Hamilton believe there is fortune
of several million dollars awaiting them
in the United States Treasury.
They reside in Dayton, Ohio, and for
long time have been collecting evil
dence in support of claim for 5000
barrels of -four said TO have been seized
at sea by French vessels in 1894.
The story of the claim is that in 1891
5000 barrels of flour belonging to John
Hamilton were shipped to Europe on a
vessel belonging to an American, Am
brose Vanse. This vessel was captured
by the French fleet and the cargo was
destroyed. This flour was worth s23 a
barrel. Benjamin Touchstone, who was
interested with his grandfather, and
who was his heir, made claim through
the Government for his -four.
John Hamilton died at Winchester.
Va, in 1926. and Benjamin Touchstone
came West and died in Clarke County,
this State. in 1852, losing sight of the
claim made for payment of the flour cap
tured by the French.
In 1894 the French government allowed
the claim with interest, and the sum was
paid into the United States Treasury,
where it still remains, and has been ac-
cumulating interest.
In connection with this claim there is
land claim of some 5000 or more acres
which belonged to John Hamilton, and
which were leased to the Government un-
der the old 100year lease plan. This
lease is about TO expire, when the lands
will revert to the heirs of the original

The Lehigh Valley has all of It's COL

President Mitchell left this afternoon
for Washington. The evidence which
he is to present to the strike commits
sion is now all in, with the exception of
a few details, which are now being gath
cred from the district presidents.
Each day since resumption of work
has claimed life. despite the addi-
tional care the men have been taking, as
advised by President Mitchell and the
mine inspectors. Thomas Doran was
killed at the William A. colliery, at
Duryea, on Thursday; John A. Davis at
the Mahanoy City colliery Friday. and
yesterday Henry Ripple, who was in

RABBI KILLS HIMSELF
RATHER THAN REMARRY
Says He Loved Dead Wife
Too Much to Replace Her.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Rabbi Herman
Getz. of 144 Stanton Street, committed
suicide this afternoon few hours be-
fore the time set for his marriage to a
second wife. In a note which he left
for his relatives he said that he had
killed himself rather than live and
grieve for his wife, who died eleven
months ago.
Rabbi Getz was sixty years old. When
his wife died he went to live with his
son Max at the Stanton Street house
The Did man was unhappy from the very
ried and has young children whose noisy
play annoyed their grandfather.
He recently met Mrs Friedman.
widow. and grew attached TO her A
few days ago he announced that he was
going to marry and that this evening
had been fixed for the event
When his son Max came in from an
errand ct o'clock he could not find
his father. He called on the police to
help and at last the rabbi was discover
ed unconscious in wood bin in the
basement
He had swallowed quantity of car
bolic acid. Two doctors worked over
him for an hour but he died at the end
of that time.
His son Max later found a note writ
ten to him in Hebrew by his father.
In it the rabbi said he was sorry to
bring disgrace on his family and friends.
He had resolved on suicide because on
the eve of his second marriage he had
thought OF his dead wife and had come
to the conclusion that he loved her too
much to marry again.

NINE THOUSAND WHO WILL
NOT SIGN AGREEMENT IDLE

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct 26.-Com-
mittees from the Hazleton district called
upon President Mitchell yesterday in re-
gard to the situation in that region.
| Nine thousand men are idle because
they refuse to sign the agreements not
to ill-treat non-union men, as requested
by A. Pardee & Co., Coke Brothers & Co..
and A. Wentz & Co.. and to make the
promise desired by John Markle that
they will abide by the decision of the
strike commission.
The companies will not employ them
until they sign these agreements and
make the promise.
President Mitchell also received in
formation of the strike at the two COL
lieries of the Mill Creek Coal Company
and the threatened strike OF Lentz &
Cos employees and OF the situation in
the Panther Creek Valley, where many
of the union men desire strike of all
the 5000 employees OF the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company.
This situation, under the present con-
ditions. Is serious one. The fact that
the strikers will not agree not to ILL
treat the non-union workers is con-
demned by the people. who see nothing
in the promise but a pledge on the part
of the union men to abstain from vio-
lence and intimidation. Many OF the
men appear willing to sign this agree
ment, but the locals have determined
not to return to work until the agree
ments are abolished.
President Mitchell would say nothing
about the situation. He Is annoyed and
somewhat perplexed particularly by the
action of the Mill Greek Coal Company
men in striking because they were asked
to sign an agreement. and of the men
of Lentz Co.. who threaten to go out
unless some OF their number who were
discharged are reinstated
Although asked several times yesterday
what was TO be done. If the union would |
approve the action of the strikers and if |
any effort is being made to end the difn- |
culties, President Mitchell would make
10 statement.
The strikers state that the operators
who are attaching these provisions to
he terms for work are discriminating
against the men who were active dur
ng the strike. There has been no trou-
lie with the large coal carrying com
,anies. The friction Is only with the
mailer concerns.
In the upper coal field a general gain
vas made yesterday at the operating
and many of them will be in
hape BY tomorrow morning, with the :,
york which will be done today and
onight, to run full-handed and reach I

NAVY LOOKS ASKANCE
AT SUBMARINE TESTS
If Successful, Construction Will Be RevoIutonized and
Further Battleshps May Not Be Built

The coming trials of the new subma
rine boats which are to be added to the
United States Navy will be of interest
10 England and Norway, which have
adopted the American model for sub
marine torpedo boats; Portugal. Brazil
and number of other countries. Por-
tugal has been granted permission to
send officers of her marine and army to
inspect the boats.
"The smaller countries of the world
said Rear Admiral Hichborn, who was
for many years chief of the bureau of
construction, in discussing this subject
Saturday, are greatly Interested In the
construction of submarine torpedo boats.
You can easily see what their success
means to nations like Portugal. Brazil.
Venezuela. Mexico, Norway and many
other countries with seaports which they
are anxious to protect, but without the
necessary means to either equip suit
able navy or to erect and maintain eX-
tensive land Notifications.
The Official Tests.
The official tests of the boats Moccasin
and Adder will be held next month in
Peconic Bay, Long Island Sound, off
Shelter Island where the vessels will
be prepared for the occasion. Excep
tional care has been taken by the OFF,
GERS in charge to make these tests as
comprehensive and as rigorous as is
fair to the contractors. The tests will
be made for endurance. speed. stability,
dirigibility, torpedo discharge and gen
eral performance.

TWO MEN FALL TWO
HUNDRED FEET TO DEATH
A Third Victim of Curious Accident

Injured.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-By the slipping
OF rope today on a swinging scaffold
suspended from the big chimney Of the

The Washington times., 1902-10-27

The Navy Department is equally in
terested for it is believed that on the
issue of the trials depends the future
attitude of the Navy Department to-
ward this craft, SO tiny and yet so
dangerous. Heretofore the department
has been somewhat hostile to the boats.
Rear Admiral George W. Melville,
chief of the bureau of steam engineer
ing, VINO is the pronounced opponent Of
this type of submarine boat. has called
attention OF the officers of the Navy to
what they may expect if the tests prove
successful. and has sounded note of
warning by saying:
May Change Policy.
IF the boat has any military or
strategic value we should change our
policy of ship construction, for nothing
could justify the building of so many
battleships If the submarine boats
possess even a portion of the advan
tages that their advocates claim. In
the Indifference of naval officers to this
question, there is great danger. The
boats are either valuable or they are
worthless for military purposes.
From the time that the Senate and
House naval committees look with favor
upon these boats" continues the admiral
pointedly, there will be a decreased
of battleships; and the ac-
tion of the Congress in striking out of
the naval appropriation bill of 1901
all authorization for battleships and
cruisers can certainly, in part. be trac-
ed to the belief that the submarine
boats possess many of the qualities
claimed by their advocates
