FRAUD PROMOTER UNDER BAN.
The President Orders an Investiaa.
ton,

TlOns
Washington, March 16.-Serious
charges have been fileo with President
Roosevelt against practicing attor-
ney at law who formerly was an en-
ploye of the postoffice, but they are
of such a. nature That at this time
they can not be disclosed. The charges
were placed in the hands of the pres
ident by T. c. Campbell, an attorney
of Cincinnati, representing one or more
OF the turf investment concerns about
which recently there has been much
scandal. 1t is understood that the bur-
den of the charges is that the former
received large sums of money from
the turf Investment companies for pre-
pairing an opinion declaring the state
ment of such investment companies
to be legitimate, and for a promise of
protection to be given to the compa-
MES by officials
When the matter was brought to the
presidents attention he regarded it as
so serious that he ordered a sweeping
investigation to be made. The presi-
dent has directed that no means be left
untried to develop the facts and to pun
ish the guilty, If the guilt of any Of
ficials shall be shown by the investiga-
ton.

HEAR RY ELECTRICITY.
Blind, Deaf and Dumb Were Enabled
To Hear.

Blind, Deaf and Dumb Were Enabled
To Hear.
New York, March l6.-By means OF
an invention Of Miller Rees Hutchin-
son, a young Albanian, who was re-
Gently decorated by Queen Alexandra
for his efforts In behalf of the deaf,
three children, deaf, dumb and blind,
have been enabled to hear a pianist
play Sousa marches, a photograph re-
produce the sounds OF their own voice
uttering the words, Mama" Papa"
and Hello" in quayering, childish
treble.
The experiments were made at the
laboratory of Mr.. Hutchinson and were
witnessed by many persons.
The invention consists, primarily, Of
transmitter, an ear piece and small
electric battery. BY means of these
instruments sound is projected into the
ear In a manner to stimulate the audi
tory nerve. The volume of sound has
nothing to do with the action of these
instruments.
The penetrating quality Of the cleo
trio sound wave apparently disregards
the mechanism of the outer ear and
affects the inner ear direct.
The first patient brought out to try
the effects Of the invention was Orris
Benson, who is blind, deaf and dumb
A physician tried to make him hear in
various ways, but all his efforts were
vain. The little instrument was then
clapped on the lads ear, the current
switched on and Mr.. Hutchinson said
in an ordinary tone, Papa" The youth
worked his fingers rapidly in the sign
language.
He says he can hear something, but
does not know what it is" remarked
Professor Van Tassell, who was in
charge of the children. The current
was made stronger. The youths eye
balls were raised and he smiled. Then
he tried to repeat the syllable and in
a wierd treble cried shrilly, "Pap-pah.'
Noticing that the patient was becom.
ing quite excited over his novel expe-
fience, Mr.. Hutchinson suggested that
one OF the girls be brought into the re-
ception room.
She could not hear sound, no mat
ter how loud, but when she had the
ear piece of the instrument fastened
to her head and the pianist at the end
of the room began to play a Sousa
march her cheeks flushed and her fin
gers beat time on the table.
Another girl born blind, deaf and
dumb, clapped her hands in ecstacy
when she heard her own voice cry
Mama" and reached out wishfully to-
ward the piano when the musician
stopped playing and the new harmo-
MES died out of her ear, but fingered
wildly in her memory.

Rescued Drowning cubans in Havana
Haebor.

HaFhor.
Havana, March 17.-While the secre-
tary of the navy, Mr.. Moody, and his
party were making visit on shore a
squall Of tremendous violence swept
over the harbor. 1t became as dark as
night and the wind and the downpour
was terrific. Commander Stoney of
the Dolphin, realizing the peril to the
small boats in the harbor, called for
volunteer rescuers. The entire crew
of the Dolphin responded. Boats were
instantly manned and sent out. The
launch returned with four half drown
ed Cubans, and the captains gig with
another was lifted aboard apparently
lifeless, but was later resuscitated. The
courage and heroic action on the part
of the Americans were especially COM
menaed, as the British ships did not
rise to the emergency, although one
of the capsized boats was much nearer
to the Ariadne than to the Dolphin.
Secretary Moody will summon the
Dolphin's crew and commend them for
their presence of mind. It is known
that five men, all Cubans, were drown
ed by the capsizing of boats during the
squall.
The arrival of the British squadron,
consisting of the Ariadne, Indefatig-
able, Tribune, Fantone and Columbine,
from Kingstown, Jamaica, gave the
harbor a naval aspect The morning
was occupied with exchanges Of salutes
and calls. The Dolphin saluted Vice
Admiral Douglas with Is guns.
Vice Admiral Douglas and the COM
manders of the British warships pro-
ceeded to the Dolphin and paid their
respects to Mr.. Moody.
The secretary returned the visit at
once. Thirteen guns were fired by the
dolphin in honor of call on Nh.
Moody by General Rodriguez, the COM
mander of the Cuban army.
Secretary Moody and party dined
with Minister Squiers. They will pay
visits to President Palma and mem
bers Of his cabinet.

New Orleans, March 15.-Though
New Orleans experienced the most ter

is at the same stage as in the early
morning, 1913 feet, three-tenths under
the record of six years ago. Durins
the forenoon the work of mendine
weak spots in the levees along both
sides of the river continued, and hun
dreds of sand sacks were placed in DO

amounting almost to cloudburst, sus

Memphis, Tenn, March 1.-THE
flood situation between Caruthers.
vile, Mo-, and Baton Rouge, La, is
serious. The river is rising rapidly,
and it Is doubtful whether the levees
will hold. The gauge at Memphis
marks 1876 feet, a rise of IL feet since
last night. This is the highest water
ever recorded here. The situation in
and around Memphis is becoming
more serious. Without single excep-
ton, the numerous lumber plants in
North Memphis have suspended opera

presented to them.
Colonel Cody and Major Burke then
escorted the royal party through the
settlement where the rough riders
were drawn up In double line. The
king conversed animatedly with Colo

styles of Craftsmanship. At the center
OF the camp tiny Indians presented to
the queen big boQuets. She took the
flowers and, kneeling down, shook the
little brown hands. The Indian chill
drem afterward presented to the young
princes clay pigeons.

whitaker WRIGHT Arrested
LONDON PROMOTER JAILED BY
NEW YORK OFFICERS.
Had just Arrived on Steamer La Lor-
raine, from Havre-Aecompanled by
Lady-Wright Wanted to Avoid
Publicity When Taken-says. He
Thought Matter Had Been Settled.

New York, March III. Whitaker
Wright the London promoter, who is
accused of being concerned in colossal
frauds in connection with the organiza-
ton of various financial corporations,
was arrested on the arrival of the
French line steamer La Lorraine, from
Havre. The arrest was made by two
central office detectives at the request
of the London police.
With Wright on the steamship was
tall, good looking young woman, who
said she was the niece of the prisoner.
Her name on the passenger list was
Miss F. Browne.
Wright, when told that he was under
arrest, showed no evidence of excite
ment, and said he was friend of King
Edward. His principal concern was to
avoid publicity, and he asked that his
arrest be kept from the newspapers.
Arrest Was Unexpected.
That Wright did not expect to be
arrested is shown by the fact that
after the steamship le1t Havre he told
the purser that mistake had been
made in making the tickets out in the
name of Androni. His name accord
ingly was changed and appeared on the
additional list as J. w. Wright, and
that of the woman as Miss F. Browne
Description of Wright.
Wright is thus described in the
cable message from the London police:
"Absconder charged on warrant with
fraud tn large amount whitokar
Wright, manager of London and Globe
Finance corporation of this city. Aged
30 years; height, feet 10 or IL inches;
complexion, f1orid; hair and mustache
dark; large head; small eyes.
Mr.. Wright and the young woman &C.
cupied one of the finest deck suites on
he steamship. Wright was sitting at a
desk in his cabin when found by the
detectives. When addressed by name
he at once admitted his identity, and
on being told that he was under ar
rest at the request of the London po-
lice, said:
THAT was a business transaction. l
understood that the matter was, settled
in parliament. This is surprise to me.
l am willing to go with you All want
is to get away from here with as little
noise as possible. Don't let the news
papers know anything about this"
They went on deck with the woman,
and told her of Wrignt's arrest. With
an officer on each side of him, he was
escorted down the gangway.
Wright was taken to court, where
the detectives explained the arrest in
a few words. Two United States mar
shals appeared with a warrant for
Wright's arrest, charging him with be-
ing a fugitive from justice. Wright
was not called upon to say anything,
and in few minutes he was formally
turned over to the custody of the mar
shals, who took him to the Ludlow
street Jail.

N. Y. Banks Losses.

A curious discovery was made re-
Gently that the loss of $S7.000.0OO by
New York banks to the treasury since
January / is due to the fact that many
interior institutions from Boston to
San Francisco are drawing on New
York to pay internal revenue and Gus
toms dues. amounting to the same
thing as country banks drawing money
home. Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw refused the money market re.
lief. saying the treasury cash is only
$7,0o0.00O larger than on January 1.
Scarcely a dollar has been taken from
the west by Secretary Shaw.

Miss Browne, who was left on the
pier, remained looking after the bag:
gage. She is rather tall, slender,
dressed in dark blue and wearing a
rather broad brim, low crowned hat,
draped with fiimsy light blue veil.
She declined to make any statement,
beyond that she had come over to visit
friends. After her baggage had been
examined she left in cab, instructive

ECONOMICAL MARKETING.

Marketing and economy are, or
should be, synonymous terms A prop
er conception of the meaning of the
word economy is necessary in order to
grasp the fulness of either term. Econ
omy in buying means to pay as much
as a thing is worth and no more. Jul
dicious marketing means purchasing
things in their best condition and in
their season and in not buying more or
less of perishable goods than what is
needed for each day. Violation of this
most essential rule is a source of much
waste of money. Economy does not
mean stinginess. Enough is enough.
Generosity does not consist in a lavish
superfiuity of food or drink.
Flour, grains and dried fruit will
keep for an indefinite time if stored in
a dry place. Beef and mutton should
be kept in a dry, cool place for some
time before cooking, but veal and lamb
should be cooked when freshly killed.
Fish and vegetables cannot be bought
too fresh. Poultry should be cooked
when fresh, but game requires more
time to develop the flavor.
The best place to market is at the
large stores, where there is a large pa
tronage and quick sales. In smalle;
stores goods get stale by standing SO
long On the shelves.

NEW WINDOW DRApER1Es.

BY economy is not meant to buy the
cheapest OF the highest priced foods.
In meats the cheapest is not the most
economical, since it is apt to be inferior
and tough, in which case it would be
the most expensive. The old saying
that the best is the cheapest applies es-
pecially to meats.-American Queen.
The question of window and arch
