ton Policy
Continuing, he said:
Five gentlemen meet to consolidate
their properties. Each places an est1-
mate on his own concern. Each Is sus-
picious of the other. This is called
actual assets and all is made the basis
of capitalization.
Until few weeks ago there were
corporations in this country capital
lied at perhaps fifty times the value
any honest set of assessors would have
fixed as their capitalization. Corpor-
ate policy now debars instead of in
'vites the ordinary man to invest In the
actual proprietorship of the country.s
industries. The great middle public
belongs neither to labor nor to coz
porate organizations.
"The instinct to own property, If
prevented from taking it's course in
the legitimate proprietorship of the
country will be turned into the side
sluices of speculation. The people,
lions thru the banks, will lose interest
in private ownership in favor of gov
eminent ownership. A political party
in New York has incorporated a plank
in it's platform favoring government
ownership of coal mines.
Socialism has elected mayor aIter
mayor in Massachusetts,. Socialism is
danger that is coming about thru
corporate policy. The tendency should
be arrested, but it cannot be disposed
of in single political campaign.
But I believe the day will come, y
added Judge Grosscup, when some
great political party, voicing the man
date Of the American people, will re-
| duce corporate policies to a basis
where a corporation cannot, any more
than national bank or a savings bank
of the country, be dishonest without
it's being known beforehand that dis
| honesty was in the air.

COLOMBIAN TROOPS RETIRE
They Withdraw from the Isthmus

Colon, Panama, Nov. 6.-The Co
lombian troops from Panama arrived
here yesterday afternoon, and with
the troops here, left at z o'clock yes
terday evening on the royal mail
steamer Orinoco for Cartagena. There
embarked 28 officers and 435 men.
This departure assures a successful
and bloodless end Of the revolution,

fort to subdue the new republic Of

the present decision is reversed by

successful in legal proceedings against
Mrs. Bennett in the event that the
$4,000 should be paid under clause
IL Of the will which reads as follows:
Twelfth gave and bequeath Nnto my
wife, Grace Imogen Bennett, the sum of
fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in trust,
however, for the purposes set forth In a
sealed letter which will be found with
said will
The text of the letter was made pub
lie at one Of the hearings on the will.
Mr.. Bryan was not present when the
decision was announced, but. his, at
torneys said he would undoubtedly ap-
peal from Judge Cleveland's decision.
When Judge Cleveland took his
seat on the bench, an inquiry was
made as to Mr.. Bryan's whereabouts
and when it was stated that he would
he would adjourn court until to-nor-
row, so that the form Of the decree
could be announced in Mr.. Bryan's
presence. Attorneys for Mr.. Bryan
said that they were ready for the de-
cree at this time. but. the judge
thought an opportunity should be
given for further discussion of the
| case if desired. He then said:
ct find that the question Of whether
the will was properly executed was
not raised I find that it was proper
ly executed and find that the testa-
tor had sufficient testamentary capac-
ity.
No Undue Influence.
| II find that there was no undue
influence by Mr.. Bryan over Mr.. Ben
nett. It was claimed that the sealed
letter should be incorporated in the
will I find that reference in the will
was sufficient as to the sealed letter,
yet the language in the document 1T
self plainly indicated that the will
was executed before that letter was
written. There was in existence be-
fore the will was executed a duplicate
of the sealed letter. The sealed let
ter was found with the will. I find
that there was no undue influence but
that the sealed letter was not incor-
| porated in the will.
The court further said that he ex-
1 pressed no opinion as to whether the
sealed letter which gives $4,000 to
Mr.. Bryan and his family can be in
4 corporated in the will.
1T may be urged he continued,
that it can be used, but as to that
the court has no opinion to express.
Attorneys inme diately asked the
4 court If construction had, been

called their attention to the text of

i Afterwards Judge Cleveland stated
/ that it was a, question whether the
probate court had a right to consider

and it was also question whether the

A GOLD SEPARATOR
Remarkable Machine Invented
by h. L. Orr.

II. l.. Orr of this city has invented
IA new process for extracting dust
from tailings after all values have
apparently been removed. The
process is said to be d complete
success. The machine Or apparatus
has attracted considerable attenuon
from passersby VINO have seen it
standing in the back yard at the
home OF Mr.. Orr at 1929 Thirteenth
street, In looks it might be car
pet cleaner, thresh,ng machine or IA
plaything, but Mr.. orr has confidence
that it will make money for him and
his associates. The process is called
the Orr & Finley oil process, and is
thoroughly covered by patents the
last one having been granted about
ten days ago.
The machine is not easily des-
c1ibed From the sluiGe box, raised
about fourteen feet above ground,
the tailngs are Iun on to a sloping
plane of canvas. The plane is about
fourteen feet long by SIX feet wide.
At the upper end of the plane where
the tailings run on to the canvas oil
i; also pumped on to the plane. he
canvas is in the shape of an endless
belt and moves upward toward the
slujce box, but slow enough so tnat
the oil, salica. water and gold dust
will run down the canvas against the
motion. The mess is thoroughly
mixed in the process. AS is we'll
known, oil and water Will not mix.
but sand and water will. Gold dust
and water will not mix, but gold
dust and oil will, so that when the
mixture which seemed homogeneous
mass at the beginning, reaches the
lower end OF the plane the sand and
water IS gathered in the lower strata
and Oh TOP OF this with what gold
dust there might have been left In
the tail,nRs when they came from
the stamp mill, floats the oil. The
entire mass runs into tank from
the canvas. An automatic valve
keeps the water at certain height
in this tank, just high enough SO
that the oil and gold dust will run
overa sharp rim into a smaller tank
From there it runs automatically
into another metal box filled with
charcoal. This leaves the gold dust
on the grains OF char coal and in due
time this is burned up, leaving tht
dust.
