Those Fake English Estates"
TNew York Evening POST


The American embassy in London
has again issued a circular warning the
icredulous in this country that the
English unclaimed estates, yield rev.
enue only to the swindlers who Whee-
die money from simple folk. This is a
ehoary old fraud When Reverdy john
son was on mission to England he de-
nounced the swindle with the utmost
yigor. In the middle of the last CEN
tury there was a mythical unclaimed
estate supposed to be worth 100 million
dollars. The deluded claimants in this
country numbered several hundred;
met annually; debated about methods
of coming by their own; divided into
parties or rival factions, and built all
sorts Of fantastic castles in Spain" on
English cloud banks. One day one of
the members had bright idea He
went to London and applied to the
Bank of England for information about
the funds said to be there deposited.
There were no funds; no such estate;
never had been and never would be. 1t
is the same old swindle and new gem

many Americans are to believe that, in

The Chamberlain Decision.
kansas City Star.l


The refusal of Mr.. Chamberlain to
grant the concessions asked by the
Roer generals as extensions of the
terms of peace in South Africa is like
Ily to stand. At the time Of the sign
ing of the peace the conditions We're re-
garded by the world in general as ex-
ceedingly liberal to the Beers. Indeed
the pro- Beers hailed them as evidences
of a Bper victory, and they, at least,
can not consistently censure Great
Britain for not enlarging the conces-
sions. The treaty of Vereenigling gave
evidence that the British regarded the
Beers as a primary factor in the flu
ture of South Africa and were inclined
to recognize generous treatment of
them as one of the essentials to such
development In his answer to the
generals. Mr.. Chamberlain expresses
the hope that there may be hearty CO.
operation. The illustration of the
American civil war, which he employ
ed. was not far fetched. Where inter-
ests are common, the sooner the w,lr
feeling is dispelled the better.

satisfying Thus far the reports OF
frost damage have had no appreciable
effect on the market barometers or in
dicators.
Evidences OF the termination of the
hard coal strike are appearing in vari-
Gus forms. A larger number of the coll
lieries are in operation, despite the
strike, Considerable amounts Of coal
are being mined and shipped. Both
sides of the controversy are anxious to
end the strife, as importations of hard
coal from Wales is now threatened.
Something in the way of settlement is

ABOUT LIFE ON MARS.
Professor DoolittIe Takes Issue With
Professor Aouoh

Professor OoolittIe Takes Issue With
Professor Hough.
Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-"When Pro-
fessor Hough says that Mars, Mercury
and Venus are inhabited, he probably
believes that he would like to believe
they are" Professor Dootlittle, the
University of Pennsylvania astronomer,
said this when shown a dispatch from
Chicago in which the venerable astron-
omer of Northwestern University,
George w. Hough, announced that
there are human animals, millions OF
them, on these three and many other
planets. a
mo one knows" added Professor
Doolittle, what the conditions on the
other planets are. We can only CUES at
them, and that is what my friend, Pro-
fessor Hough, has done.
MY personal opinion is that there is
no human race on any Of the planets.
II any life exists there ii must be of a
lower order. 1t seems Impossible that
any life can exist on Mars or Mercury.
Tiny are like the moon. solid frozen
body, where water and air do not exist.
How, then, could any but the lowest Or
der of animals exist?
Everything on earth now IaVoTs an
animal life, but it probably will not be
so a million years hence. Then the
earth will have progressed to the stage
in which Mars. Mercury. and the moon
are now, and this will be nothing but
a cold, frozen mass of metal without
air or. water Life will have dlsap-
)peared.
"As to Prof. Hough's theory that red
vegetation on Mars gives it a darker
tinge than the other planets. it is possi-
BILE but hardly plausible. Mars changes
its color slightly with the seasons. and
this may be caused by the red leaves
falling and the red grass whitening
with the approach winter, and vice
versa, and it may not. Ny opinion is
that the red tinge on Mors is given to
it by the reflection of the SUMS rays on
arid stretches of desert"

NO HOPE OF AMENDMENT.

Those who look to possible consti-
tutional amendment for the regulation
and control Of trusts might as well give
up all hope in that direction-that Is.
SO long as the democrats have ball
ance of power that they can use effect
the general government a power that
would make it centralized force OF
greater strength than at present. 1t
would run up against the pet demo-
cratic dogma Of state rights. A move
ment Of this kind always solidifies
them, in opposition, even tho they may
inveigh against the republican party
for permitting trusts to exist. Con-
gressman L. F. Livingston, Of Georgia,
q public man who is serving his sixth
term in the house, is one OF the first
democratic leaders who has pointed out
the opposition of his party to such an
amendment
Mr.. Livingston declares that "all
talk about a constitutional amendment
to give congress power to regulate
trusts by Incorporating them is worse
than useless" In his opinion such an
amendment could never be ratified by
ree-fourths of the states. 1T would
strike at the foundation of statehood"
he says. .The states would never give
up their right In favor of congress.
They never would think Of doing that"
He probably represents, his party fairly.
and indicates the opposition that would
unite It.
IN the present house there are 1919
republicans. A two thirds vote to car
~ such an amendment would call for
23s votes. Of which 80 would have to
come from the democratic side. Would
they be Forthcoming? The past action
and the present attitude Of the party
indicate that they would not. The
Forthcoming session Of congress is the
short one. Speculation az to the next
house, to be elected this fall, could
hardly Indicate the probabilities. The
republicans expect to Mold their present
strength. but 1t is hardly possible that
they can gain enough to give the nee
sssary power to pass constitutional
amendment. and It is not at all proba-
able that all the republican members
would favor 1t.
There, is therefore, no way open in
the Immediate future for such a move
ment. With the initial stages thus
shocked, the further hazard OF a three
fourths vote by the states would be
stu more doubtful az to the outcome.

Common stock In railways is usually
required to take back seat when div
blends are paid. The preferred has
the right Of way to the big slice from
the treasury pie. But in this era of
sprosperity some surprising things have
happened. The Chicago. Milwaukee &
E9t.sPau road is one that does not make
EA great deal Of noise in sensational
f1ailway circles. but 1t keeps on saving
twood effectively. The directors Of this
tIoad met last week and declared the
Regular semi -annual dividend OF By

also took important and unexpected
Acdon upon the common stock. upon
which they declared dividend Of az

yter. It 10 generally assumed. the COM

The Third Iowa District

Speaker Henderson resides in what
is known as the Dubuque district of
Iowa, which includes a narrow ledge of
counties running more than halfway
across the state to the west Of the Mis-
sissippi. Dubuque, the most populous
county. is the one growing most rapid
~ in population. Iowa is q state in
which the representation in the Fifty
eighth congress will be the same as in
the Fifty-seventh. The legislature at
Des Moines has made no arrangement.
but has left the districts as they have
been for the past ten years.
The project of the democrats in the
Third is to nominate no less formidable
an adversary to Mr. Henderson than
the venerable and unquenchable Hor-
ace Boies. first and only democratic
governor of the Hawkeye State, and at
one time a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency.
General democratic success in Iowa is
impossible at this time, but democratic
success on the installment plan in a
state which has had Gen. Weaver as a
representative in congress, and in
which Cato Sells was long a leader of
authority, is not without precedent.
1t was said of Horace or "Hod'' Boies
by the eloquent democrat, Mr.. White,
who nominated him for the presidency
in 1896 at Chicago that neither in
formulating a policy nor in the exc
|cution of the same, nor yet in present.
ing an argument upon the merits or de-
merits of any public question, has Gov
ternor Boies ever striven in the least de-
gree to create sensation
Such candidate has latent elements
of danger in a congress fight and it be-
hooves the republican constituents of
Speaker Henderson to do their whole
duty.

gImportant Decisions !
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
CABLE IS LAND.

In the case of the Western Union
Telegraph Company VS.. the Schooner
Guide, United States District Judge De
Haven, of California, some days ago
dismissed the suit upon the ground that
the court had no jurisdiction, the
ground being that cable was a mere
projection of the land, and that suit
involving injury to a cable could not
properly come before an admiralty
court The suit was for damages done
by the anchors of the schooner to the
cable between San Francisco and Oak
land. Judge De Haven, in his decision,
quotes as follows: The line is fire.
uuently narrow between the navigable
waters and structures bridged over
them. Anything that is attached to the
shore, altho the water may be beneath
lit, is considered as a mere projection of
the shore, and torts happening upon
such structures are not within the jul
risdiction of the admiralty court"

presence at the place where the suit
was to have been brought, and his cli7
ent discovering the deceit employed
other counsel to procure the divorce for
her, and demanded the return of the
money she paid him, which he refused
to return, he was guilty of professional
misconduct, for which he will be dis
barredi The fact that the attorney had
been tried and acquitted upon charge
of embezzlement does not affect the
question as to whether he has been
guilty of professional misconduct in the
transaction vs.. Mead, late
Colorado case.)
DEFAMATION OF COURTS.
A Vermont statute makes it criminal
to defame a court Of justice. Defend
ant, after an adverse decision of the
supreme court against democrat
stated in conversation that there was
no way for democrat to bring any
thing to the supreme court In which
politics was involved, and that there
was an unbroken line OF such proceed
ures for forty years. 1t was held that
lit could not be said as matter of law
that the words were not defamatory, as
the language in its PLAN and natural
meaning may be construed as charge
that the cause.was decided against the
losing party because he was demo-
.crat, which is clearly defamatory.-52

long, IL they are not doing some worry
ing at present. AS they passed the Pap
Smith place. now owned by Caleb

Hinkles mail box, and when this is
done it has the same effect on Uncle
Sam as Haunting Il red flag before a

been altogether too common it is likely
that an example will be made of some
che IN this case. A government inspec-
