Alfred Belt is not a speculator. He
is a man of big ideas and the gift OF
the grab. His quick and inventive
brain is too big for his frail body. His
health never good, has time after time
broken down under the strain.
He has a small and slender physique,
and is not reckoned at all cute in small
transactions. He has the large. lumin-
Gus, brown eyes of a dreamer and the
point of view OF an optimist. but with
an extraordinary knack of getting
nearly everything he wants. He Is alb
solutely q bundle of nerves. and his
nervousness is at times quite distress
ing. In moments of excitement it is
practically impossible for him TO sit
still. His hands are always in move
ment, and he emphasizes his remarks
by nervous tugs at his small. fair mus
tache. He is hardly known in society.
but he is very popular with his own
associates. They call him Alfred"

In fact, he is one OF the most diffldent

Although he has the controlling in

He does not affect jewelry at all for

of antique decorated jeweled objects.
No one can estimate how much money
has been made in South Africa since
nearly forty years ago, when an un-

qualand. Billions, certainly. Undoubt-

gold have been taken from the South
African mines In the last thirty ght
years than any single man has pos

man owned the mines of South Africa
he would have been the richest man
of our time. Yet the greater part of
this wealth is in the hands OF very

worth that sum. If he chooses to be.
The only question is, which of the two
men, il the necessity should arise,
could the more easily obtain the larger
sum OF actual money? And the answer
is, probably Alfred Belt.
Who, then, is this colossus of finance,

WESTERN UNION TO
 SPREAD IN SOUTH
hlgh Officials Are Now on a Tour to Investigate What Will Be
 Required.

Memphis, Tenn. January 11.-Many high officials of the Western Union Telegraph company arrived in Memphis today on the private cars Morse" and "Electric." The purpose of the visit is a general trip of inspection over the south and southwest. The party was headed by J. c. Barclay, assistant general manager of the vast system. Accompanying Mir Barclay Is J. Levin, general superin- tendent of the southern district; T. P. Cook, general superintendent of the west ern district; J. R. Terhune superintendent of the Tennessee Mississippi division, and c. H. Bristo general superintendent of construction of New York.
 MT Barclay said that conditions in the south had so expanded that the Western Union Telegraph company has found it | necessary to increase it's facilities.
 We are handling all business prompt ly." he said. but realizing the rapid growth and prosperity of this part of the country we are taking time by the fore lock and I am now approving the con- struction of a large number of new wires for the southern country. The in crease in our business in this section is phenomenal and we propose to meet all ! future needs.'

BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Massachusetts Governor Asked to Re move Savings Bank Commissioners.

Boston, January 11.-As the result of his investigation today of the recent suspen- sion of the Prevalent Securities and Banking company of this city, District Attorney John B. Moran tonight sent letter to Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., ask ing that the Massachusetts Savings Bank commissioners be removed from office In his letter MT. Moran charges that the commissioners James o. Otis of Maldin; Frederick B. Washburn Of We'll esly Hills, and Warren E. Lock of Nor wood, were grossly careless and wilfully negligent in connection with the affairs of the Prevalent company, and other in- stitutions.
 MT. Moran maintains that the savings bank commissioners had full power un- der the law of 1902 to inquire into the affairs of the company, and that If they had done this they would have uncov- cred the condition of affairs which has been revealed by the suspension, and thus have prevented possible losses anecting over 5000 depositors, the majority Of whom are laboring men, women and children

LAWYERS TO ARGUE
 ROGERS CASE TODAY
AGREEMENT WAS REACHED TO TAKE UP THE MATTER YESTER- DAY, BUT HEARING WAS DEFER RED TILL THIS AFTERNOON.

New York, January 1.-The hearing be- fore a commissioner in the case of the , state of Missouri against the Standard oil company of Indiana and two other companies doing business in Missouri, was adjourned today until o'clock this after noon by consent of counsel At the re- quest of counsel for the Standard oil company, Justice Gildersieeye of the su- preme court had put the hearing before ! a commissioner over until Friday
 Last night, however, an agreement was reached between Attorney General Had ley and the Standard oil company's coun- sel to go on with the hearing today. ne reason given for this change of attitude was that the western lawyers represent ing the Standard Oil company were anx- ious to return home and they voluntar- fly offered to go on with the hearing. MT Hadley, however, was unable to re- sume early today as his process servers could not get at the witnesses whom he desired to put on the stand. He was noti- fled that they would be ready this after noon MT. Hadey said this morning: q am well satisfied with the results have obtained in my investigation. I have secured some part of what I came here for and l did not expect to secure everything. The testimony given by Mir Joclte and Mir Hardcastle, former em- poyes of the Standard oil company, and Mrs. Ida NJ. Butts, establishes to my mind the connection which I seek to show as existing in Missouri between the Standard Oil company of Indiana. tho Republic oil company and the Waters Pierce oil company. These, I malntain are constituent companies of the Standard oil trust. The refusals to answer on the part of H. H. Rogers, E. T. Bedford, Wade Hampton and others go further
 it seems to me. to bulwark my case than the evidence of my own witnesses.
 At 2 o'clock Commissioner Sanborn an- nounced a further postponment until 2 p. m. tomorrow at the request of counsel representing the Standard oil company to enable them to prepare for the pro- ceedings before Justice Glldersleeve In .ne supreme court tomorrow.

MAY BE FOUND GUILTY.
Two Midshpmen Await Fate From
 Secretary of the Navy.

Annapolis, Md, January n.-There is good reason for the belief that Mloship- men Worth Foster of -Sew Albany lnd., and Peterson B. Marsoni of Pensacola Fla, have been found guilty of hazing. The record in each of these cases was forwarded by the court more than twenty four hours ago, and it is officially stated that they are awaiting the action of the secretary of the navy. This Is con- sidered to be equivalent to saying that a verdict of guilty was rendered. 1T tnis had not been the case, it is thought the men would have been released from arrest within an hour or two of the receipt of the records by Admiral Sands.
 Both of the midshipmen belong to the first class and would have graduated on February 12. They are regarded as good students in general, and each had severalty. Foster devised an improve ment in the form of the war nose used on torpedoes, and Marsoni is considered the best linguist in the class.

TURMOIL IN CHINA.
Movement Is as Much Against Govern
 ment as Against Foreigners.

Pekin, January 11.-Reports from the south and the Yagtee valley region show the anti-foreign sentiment to be very strong. China undoubtedly is in a fer ment of political excitement but the move ment is directed as much against the gov ernment as against the foreigners.
 The government is between two fires The young China party is clamoring be- cause reforms are being executed too slowly, while the conservatives and the officials, the latter their prerequisites threatened, are resisting all efforts at reform.
 In spite of the protests of foreigners in Northern China. the foreign ministers have not changed their plan for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Chi Li province, the only exceptions being the legation guards. The ministers be- lieve that the Chinese government is both able and determined to protect the foreigners in the event of a revolution.

PROPERTY OWNERS CALL.
American Interests Hampered By the
 Troubles in Santo Domingo.

Washington, January n.-President Roosevelt had conference today with some Americans who have, in Santo Do mingo, property interests which are suf- fering for reason of revolutionary pro ceedings in the island. The President sug- gested to his callers that they could pro mote their own interests and those of the United States by urging their sena- tors to assist in the ratification of the Dominican treaty which is pending be- fore the Senate.
 The Presidents callers were A. E. Col ton, who has resided many years in Santo Domingo and w. H. Parish of Rich- mond, Va They represent company which owns two million acres of land, largely grown with timber, in Santo Do mingo. They have been hampered in the handling of their enterprise by the revo- lutions on the island.
