who is in charge of the journey and is
proprietor of the kawaski ship-build-
ing yards in Kobe; NJ. Hamuroto, one
of the company's engineers, and Nj.
Matsura.
In our yards at Kobe" said Mr.,
Matsura, 1--WE have done away with
steam machinery entirely. All our
power is either electric, pneumatic or
hydraulic. Mr.. lamuroto is making
special investigation of the develop
ment of pneumatic power in America
and will remain here for several
months. expect to leave for Europ,

MONEY FOR FILIPINO5.
Proposition Favorable to Extending
Loans to Farmers of the
Philippine Islands.

Some data regarding mortgage
loans to small land holders under gov
eminent supervision has been for
warded to Judge Henry {. lde. secre-
tary of finance in-the Philippine is
lands. by Charles \. Conant, who was
in the Philippines last summer for the
purpose of studying coinage and
banking conditions there. Mr.. Conant
saws il seems that mortgage loans I'M
der government guaranty are success
full even under the conditions existing
In Turkey. and that Lord Cromer is
preparing to extend the system in
Egypt. The National Bank of Egypt
has, already made loans of about So
100000 of this character, but a. il is
commercial hank is indisposed To lock
up further capital in this form of Sc
curity. \ new bank is therefore in
process of formation to engage eN-
cnSively in small mortgage and agri-
cultural loans. The government is to
guarantee dividends of three per cent.
on the capital and is to employ the
public tax gathererS " necessary, TO
collect the interest on loans. Mr..
/ Cnnant said the other day:
al know that some means of aiding
the farmers is subject very close to
the heart of Gov. Taft and Judge lde.
There is already Spanish law in the
Philippines permitting the creation Of
mortgage banks, but II apparently
needs the support and active initiative
of the government to put a plan OF
relief for the small farmers in prac-
teal operation. Gov. Taft and his as
sociates have SO many problems before
them that it will probably be some
time before they will be able to take
this up, but IT will he greatly for the
benefit of the Filipinos when they are
able to borrow enough to equip them
selves with the best seed and with mod
ern tools"

STARTED FOR DOCK,
Farmers Blocked the Way Of
L. C. Sebree, Who
Wanted to Die.

Much excitement was caused in the vi
cinity of Shelburnes Warehouse last
night shortly before II o'clock, by the
attempted suicide of a. white man named
L. C. Sebree, otherwise known as WON
derful"
But for the efforts of the farmers who
had come to town to dispose of their to-
bacco, and were camping there, the man
would have thrown himself into the dock.
Sebree announced his intentions, and
started for the dock, when the farmers
blocked his way and carried him to the
warehouse. where he fell into a stupor.
He was drunk, and lost entire control
of himself. The ambulance was called,
and DR.. Flegenheimer responded. He
found the man in the last stages OF tn-
toXication and thought him a patient
for the hospital, rather than a prisoner
for the police station, so he was moved to
the city hospital
Sehree partially regained his conscious
ness. and grew very dramatic. He refused
to give any account of himself, and. draw
ing himself up. gave a very graphic de-
scription Of a previous life of aff1uence,
and drew a picture of his present condi-
tion, exclaiming "Aint 1t wonderful. amt
it wonderful?' He said he was ashamed
to say wher he lived, but gave the names
of several prominent citizens. whom he
said were his best friends.
Sebree is man who has known a bet
ter condition. but. becoming slave to
drink, he has fallen to the lowest depths
He is an expert sewingmachine repairer,
and is considered quite good when he
will work
He gets his alias from his constant
repetition of the question. "Ain't it won
derful?'
