IN SUIT CASE
Big End of Stolen Money
Recovered.
NOW REGRETS HIS CRIME
Alleged He Stole Money in Order to

He Is Caught.
NOW REGRETS HIS CRIME

BRISTOL, Conn. Oct. 20.-The sum of
$4,000 of the Sl0l.OOO stolen by Edward
George Cunliffe from the Adams Ex-
press Company in Pittsburg, has been
recovered from Joseph A. Boardman,
brother-in-law of Cunliffe, who was ar
rested in Bridgeport
Detective Brown and two other Pink
erton men found the cash in a suit
case in Boardman's house. The suit
case was locked, and Boaruman sWore
he did not know the money was in it.
Cunliffe sent the suit case by Adams
Express to Boardman three days ago.
The express company's driver here
delivered the richf' -lned case, although
Mr. Spencer. of Boston, the company's s
superintendent in this section of the
country, had ordered that nothing sent
by express to Boardman was TO be de-
Eyered.
Cunliffe told the Plnkerton men in
bridgeport where the suit case was and
what II contained and gave them an
order on Boardman for II. So they
hurried here. Bristol is Boardman's old
nome; he went to school at Hartford.

ORDINARY LACK SAND
PRODUCES RICH ORE
Process of Reducing Magnetic Discussed by Dr. David
T. Day-First Experiment Made Last July in Portland

Prof. z. w. Parker, assistant TO DR..
David T. Day in the department of
mines and mineral resources Of the
Geological Survey, has just returned to
this city from a trip to Portland, Ore,
where DR.. Day has been conducting
series of experiments which have re-
suited in the discovery of a process of
reducing to iron ore the magnetic, or
black sand, vast deposits of which are
found at the mouths of the rivers of
the Pacific Coast. Prof Parker gave
an interesting account of the discovery
to Times reporter today. - :
''The discovery that magnetic con-
tanned iron OF rich quality" said
Prof. Parker, "came about through ac-
cident. Dr. Ray was conducting his
experiments with a view to finding a
process by which magnetic could be
reduced to platinum. but before the
work had proceeded very far he realized
that this black sand contained a, high
percentage of iron, and OF great COM
mercial value. He then conducted his
experiments entirely with the idea of
reducing the magnetic to iron.
Begun in Portland.
1.-The first experiments were begun
last July, in Portland DR.. Day secured
a large quantity Of magnetic from the
locality along the mouth of the Column
bia river, which ne had shipped to
Portland. BY the courtesy of the Lewis
and Clark Exposition Company, a large
pavilion was secured in which to con-
duct the work OF reducing the magnet
lite on a large scale. A San Francisco
engineering company installed a Pin
der concentration. and the inventor.
Capt. ]. w. Pinder. came especially to
direct the concentration work.
In addition to this. magnetic
separator was erected. Large, shallow
troughs about twelve inches deep were
built and filled with water and then
quantity of the magnetic put In. The
troughs were so arranged that they
could be rocked backward and forward,

gested, therefore, that all foreign min

there to be japanese. and that the
stories that Korean peasants are threat

cause of Japan, must be taken with re-
serve
1t is possible that Japan may have al
ready started in establishing a protec-
torate over Korea. and. therefore, has
begun to make its influence felt in more
than one way. and at different places.
Naturally, there will be objections, for
Koreans and Chinese are not as desirous
for twentieth century progress as Japan
is.
AS soon as Koreans begin to accustom
themselves to the new changes. they Will

Frank Trumbull, president of the

interview in the Wall Street Journal
of New York says:
The recent experiments on the
Union Pacific with gasoline as
motive power are being watched
with great deal of interest by the
company's experts, who are working
out plans for similar ones to be used
on the Colorado & Southern should
those of the other company prove
successful. In the latter case the
intended electritication of the inter-
urban service within thirty miles of
Denver will meet with great deal
Of modification by the company
engineers. The original plan was
to put in electric power for this
branch of the service, but in all
probabilities improved gasoline
motor cars will be used to take care
of this traffic, as the tests seem to
indicate number of advantages over
electricity. Rails of seventy pounds
weight are being laid to take care of
the heavy traffic for which these i'm
provementS are to be made. They
will meet requirements for which
ever system is finally decided upon.n
