ST. LOUIS SUB-TRE4SURY THEFT
Government Expert Reports That SCI 500
Is Missing.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Gideon c. Bantz,
Deputy Assistant United States Treasurer,
returned from st. Louis to-day and was
engaged most of the morning in close con-
ference with Assistant Secretary Keep and
United States Treasurer Treat concerning
the shortage in the st. Louis Sub-Treasury.
The examination of the book Of theSub-
Treasury confirmed the experts reports that
there was a shortage of SOL 500. But as TO
the responsibility for il the Treasury experts
are as much in the dark as anybody else.
Dyar, one of the clerks who was in charge
of the money, can give no explanation. He
admitted that he was aware OF the shortage
several days before he reported the fact TO
the Assistant Treasurer. but he insists that
he Is in no wise responsible for the shortage.
The case is somewhat complicated by the
fact that Dyar is a SON OF Col Pat Dyar,
United States Attorney at st. Louis. IL II
likely that criminal prosecutions will follow
Assistant United States Treasurer Akin
will be called upon to make good the deficit.
He is bonded for $3.50, 600. h Govern
ment will not lose by the shortage unless
Congress should vote later to reimburse
the Assistant Treasurer on the ground that he
was not careless or negligent or in any way
responsible for the deficit.
Acting Secretary Keep said he could make
no statement further than to admit the short
age and to add that the Government has
not vet discovered who was responsible,
although both the Treasury officials and the
officials of the Department OF Justice will
continue working or the case.

TOXIC, Nov. 3.-The Emperor's fifty
fourth birthday was celebrated to-day in
an appropriate manner. The weather was
delightful. His Majesty, who was evidently
in excellent health and spirits, attended
the usual military review at noon and a
banquet at the palace in the evening. At
the latter function Luke +. Wright, the
American Ambassador and the dean of the
Diplomatic Corps, made a congratulatory
address TO the throne.
There was a birthday ball later in the even
ing at the official residence u Viscount
Hayashi, the Minister OF Foreign Affairs.
This was a brilliant function. It was at
tended by 1000 leading Japanese and foreign
residents. This was the largest gathering
of the kind since the close Of the Russo
Japanese war.
PEKIN, Nov. 3.-Viscount Hayashi gave
a reception to-day in honor Of the birth
day Of the Emperor Of Japan. The garri-
son Of the japanese legation celebrated

had no authority 20 make such a conces-
sion. 1t is further stated hat such con-
cession was declaEed invalid Iby the Gov
eminent of Colombia before Mcconnell
attempted any improvements. 1t is further
more set up that Costa Rica and not CO.
lombia really exercised authority over the
territory.
II Mcconnell sold his plantation, il is
held by the defence. the sale was invalid,
as Mcconnell himself had no rights to the
place.
The defendant denies that it induced
Costa Rican soldiers TO seize the plantation
or supplies and says that such seizures
were made because the supplies were
struggled into Costa RIGA in violation OF
that country's customs laws.
The defence admits hat Jose Aguilar
began proceedings to get the plantation
and that Mcconnell set up a counte claim.
The result, il IL stated, was a judgment in
favor of Aguilar, Mcconnell having no
rights except those Of possession and to
be compensated for improvements made.

bling good humor. The sake Tatsu passed
round In yellow gourds, as the innkeepers
do out on the bank of the Sumida in cherry
time back in Toxic. IL was not good sake,
but strong.
After the tabarets had been cleared
away Hana-ko brought ont her samisen
and cuddled down in the corner with her
wooden pick ready TO rake the strings.
Tsuru and Yaye, who used to be singing
girls in kioto. came out from behind the
shoii that Tatsu has put mp between his
little back room and the kitchen and made
mock obeisance to the folk squatting on
the mats.
Then while Hana-ko plunked minor
chords on her slmisan the two girls did
the rice planting dance. Bending, sweep
ing the oor with the tips OF their fingers.
then posing on one foot and swinging
their arms slowly in and out, with the broad
wing sleeves of their kimonos making rain
bow curves, Tsuru and laye performed
step by step the classic dance as they had
learned il in Kioto. All the rest clapped
uproariously and yelled encouragement.
Tsuru and faye are Mattresses in the
imitation. tea garden out at Coney Island
during the summer time. But even though
they have worn stays under their American
style shirtwaists and though they nave
punched their feet in American style shoes
for three years, they were none the less
supple and expert in their rice planting
dance over at 1atsu's.
After the dance all of Tatsu's guests
played fox and goose and the foolish gamethe
geisha teaches one. where she says Hama
hana-hana nj and points to her eyes or
her nose to misiead you. Then they all
drank more Of Iatsu's sake, very hot, and
later still more OF the yellow stun, still
hotter.

soft footed house boy, will not show up
on his job this morning.

PLANS FOR A Big BATTLESHIP.
THE MOST POWERFUL WARSHIP
IN THE WORLD.
To BE Of 10000 or TO. q Tons. Armed
With Ten or Twelve N Inch Guns, All
on a Centre Line, Giving a BrOadside
OF All the Guns -SecOndary Battery.

With Ten or Twelve N Inch Guns, All
on a Centre Line, Giving a BrOadside
OF All the Guns secondary Battery.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Either of the plans
submitted by the bureau OF construction
for the large new battleship which is to be
constructed will IL carried out give the
navy of the United States the most powerful
battleship in the world, according to the
views OF those who know what the plans
are. The plans, together with others
submitted by outsiders, are now under
consideration by a special board appointed
by Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte.
One Of The propositions of the Navy
Department provides for a ship of exactly
20, 900 tons displacement and the other for a
floating fort of rs, 900 tons displacement.
Either plan. it is confidently expected,
will give TO .he American navy a warship
far more powerful than the famous English
~Dreadnought, the recently built man Of war
which has set all nsvies to rushing the con-
struction Of huge ships.
The Dresdnought carries ten twelve inch
guns, while her secondary battery is in
considerable. One of the plans for the
new American 10000 ton ship provides for
ten twelve Incl guns and the other for twelve
twelve inc guns. In the first plan provision
is made for the ten twelve inch guns mounted
in double gun ~turrets. all on a centre line.
thus giving a broadside of all the guns. A
battery Of twelve five inch guns. to be known
as the torpedo defence battery, is another
feature.
In the plans for the 2O,5OO ton vessel there
are twelve IL inch guns, in six turrets, all
on the centre line. Not all the turrets,
however, will be on the same deck, proyi-
sion being made for the centre turrets OF
the group TO he Is feet abov the water
line. The design also provides for sixteen
s inch guns for torpedo defence, the battery
TO he protected by five inches of armoT.
The most serious criticism of the designs
for this ship is that none OF the 5 inch guns
can be fired astern, and only two command
a fire over the bow. This would tend 10
make the vessel vulnerable TO torpedo
attack from the stern and would make
defence OF a torpedo attack straight ahead
very difficult.
Altogether the board which has been
appointed by Mr.. B~onaparte has seven de-
signs to consider. The n considered most
desirable will be sent TO Congress by the
Navy Department In accordance with the
resolution of last session providing for the
construction OF a big bettleehip, but not
before Congress- was given an opportunity
to see the plans.

sought for employment, but without
success, and, journeying on, reached
Philadelphia with but a dollar in his
pocket. But success crowned his ca
reer in Philadelphia ere many years
had fled. One Of his most successful
as we'll as famous enterprises was the
Poor Richards Almanac" the first
number of which he published when he
was twentysix and which at once be-
came popular. He continued publish
ing this almanac for twenty-five years.
1t was translated into all the languages
of Europe, and its quaint sayings have
become household words. For many
years he published the Philadelphia
Gazette. He organized the first pub
lie library in Philadelphia and estab-
lished the academy which has devel-
oped into the University Of Pennsyl-
vania. The art of printing is in his
debt to an immeasurable degree.
In 174S Franklin sold his paper, his
almanac and his printing plant. He
was then only forty-two, but he had
accumulated what in those days was
considered a fortune, and as the af-
fairs of his countrymen demanded his
attention he determined to have no
impediments In the way Of his render
ing Jealous public service. For a De-
riod Of over forty years thereafter he
was almost continuously occupied in
the cause OF his country. Prior to the
Revolution he represented the interests
of his own colony Of Pennsylvania and
sometimes other colonies at the British
court; he participated in the drawing
up of the Declaration of Independence,
or which he was one Of the signers.
and he spent some of the most impor-
tant years of his life pleading the cause
of the colonies at the court of France.
With what success he pleaded Is
known to all. His inventions and dis
coveries gave him high place in the
world of science and learning, and he
IS recognized today as the father of
electrical science. He might have made

WASHINGTON, JAM s.-Besides
settling the great lakes fisheries ques-
ton with Great Britain, it has been
disclosed that Secretary Root is on the
eve of arranging practically all the
controversies existing with Canada
save that of reciprocity.
An agreement will be made shortly
it is expected, by which the United
States will buy out all the Canadian
sealers and agree to pay to the Brit
ish government annually a small per
cent of the value of the seal catch.
With this agreement will Terminate
the dispute which about fifteen years
ago brought the United States and
Great Britain to the verge of war.
AS soon as this matter is disposed
of, Secretary Root and Ambassador
Durand, the diplomatic representative
Of Great Britain, will take up the
question OF the revision OF the treaty
of 1917, limiting the armament of each
power on the great lakes. Then will
also be discussed the minor questions
of the transmission Of goods in bond,
the regulation Of immigration, etc.
Canada is developing ner manufac-
turing industries, and is unwilling to
reduce her tariff on manufactured
goods and in all probability will in
crease it. The sentiment in con-
gress here is against reciprocity. Sec

Blcentenary

VAN. II, 17O6, was red let
ter day In the history Of the
% United States, for that day wit
messed the birth Of Benjamin
Franklin, printer, scientist, philosopher
and statesman. The bicentenary Of
Franklin's birth will be celebrated in
many parts Of the world. In Paris,
where he represented the colonies dur
ing the Revolutionary struggle, the day
will be fittingly observed, and in con-
nection with the exercises a statue Of
Franklin by the American sculptor,
John ]. Boyle, will be unveiled near
the house in Passy where he lived
when the minister Of the young repub-
lie to France. In Boston, where he
was born; in New York, where he fail
ed to find employment, and in Phila-
delphia, with which his career Is chief
ly Identified, there will also be ceremo-
MES in recognition Of the significance
of the day. In the famous city whose
name signifies that in which Franklin
firmly believed-brotherly love-the
most elaborate Of these exercises will
be held. They will be under the direc-
ton of the American Philosophical so
ciety, which Franklin himself founded
in 1744, and both the state and the fed
eral government will take part In
them.
franklin was one Of seventeen chill
dren, and his father, Boston tallow
maker, was not blessed with wealth,
so that he did not have any special adj

parent in molding candles. 1t was an
eventful day for the printing trade and

was released from making candles and
set to printing as an apprentice to his
