 The trouble with our national life." he said. '-is that it is out of balance. Commercialism has turned our heads. Everything else is apt to be sacrificed to the acquisition of wealth.

Coroner Mix Has Been Handed
 Pistol by the Killers.
SAID TO HOLD ONE EXPLODED SHELL
Allan Maxcy Hitler, Under Close Guard, Though Not Arrested,
 Claims He Will Soon Be

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. G. An old fashioned two barreled Derrin- ger revolver of 2 caliber is in the pos session of Coroner Mix. It was hand- ed to him by a member of the Hitler family One barrel was empty, and in the other was an exploded shell.
 Coroner Mix took it to the. gun store of John E. Bassett and asked MT. Bas- sett to extract the shell with great care. so as not to mark it or alter its condition in the least. He ordered the gunmaker to maintain a rigid silence concerning the examination of the pis- tol. .es@T zs It was few hours after obtaining possession of the revolver that Coroner Mix ordered that Allan Maxcy Hitler be kept under police guard, though not under arrest. Where the pistol was found cannot yet be learned. sls
 Coroner Mix has announced that Htl- Ter will be detained for an indefinite period under close guard.
 State Attorney William H. Williams 1, was called into the case by Corcssf' Mix, and the next step will be to'ask Judge Robinson of the superior court to issue warrant of arrest The cor oner decided that he had sufficient evil dence to press murder charge after the close of the inquest He called up- on State Attorney Williams and turned over to him all the testimony taken.
 Mir. Williams will go over this testi- mony and then draw up formal conn plaint and ask for an order of arrest. His appearance in the case carries it direct to the grand jury.
 A. Maxcy Hitler. who is held by tho, coroner, insists that he will be abIesto establish an alibi when the proper time comes. but refused to make any other statement regarding the mysterious case. His counsel. E. P. Marvine. says that there will be no writ of habeas corpus for the release of his client, and he is satisied that Mir. Hitler could have had no motive for killing MT. Ed wards.
 Mir. Edwards. 1t is pointed out. prob ably was not an heir to any of the Hil- Ter property left by Mrs. Abigail Hil- Ter. and his death would not in any way effect Mir. Hitler.
 The body of MT. Edwards has been taken to New York. Mrs. Edwards and her two daughters left for New York on an earlier train.

 COALDALE, W. Va. Jan. 6.-The bodies of all of the twenty-three miners killed in the gas explosion ill the Cooper coal mine here have been recovered.
 The bodies of the victims were recov- cred by rescuing parties with great diff ficulty and hardship. All of the bodies have been identified. Nearly all of the victims were found lying with their hands covering their faces. One body was in sitting posture on pile of coal, the hands covering his face.
 The scene about the entrance near that section affected most by the explO- sion indicated its fearful force. The big timbers used for holding up the top of the mine were hurled from the drifts, one piece going across a,narrow valley, moving down small trees on the oppo- site side. Mine cars were blown out of the opening and wrecked about the en- trance. and material tools and appli- ances were scattered about in great confusion. Four mine mules were killed in the explosion.

AUTO TO SHELL CORN.
Indiana Farmer Operates Implement
 With High Speed Machine.


 With High Speed Machine.
 Elmer NJ. Cooper. progressive farm CT near Cadiz. Ind. has found probably more uses for an automobile than most people, says special dispatch from Knightstown, Ind, to the St. Louis Republic. Mir. Cooper is sort of au- tomobile fancier. Last summer he gained considerable notoriety in his neighborhood by owning seven differ ent machines. He purchased one and in a short time became tired of 1t and bought another, finding each nearer to his liking than the previous one.
 Mir. Cooper has a gas engine which pumps water all over his farm. The other day this gas engine was disabled and refused to run. It was either pump water by hand, get the engine fixed or choose some other way out of 1t. The resourceful Mir. Cooper backed his automobile up against the pump ing apparatus. lacked up one rear wheel. transferred the belt and started his auto engine going. The pump worked admirably. and the automobile pumped enough water all over the farm to water the stock.
 Before the engine could be repaired Mir. Cooper had to send away for some broken parts. It took some time. and fin the meantime the hogs needed shelled corn. The sheller. of course, could have been operated by hand, but 1t was too tiresome a process when one had been used to having it done by machinery. thought Mir. Cooper. so he hitched the automobile on to the sheller, and in less time than it would have taken the regular engine sixty bushels of corn were shelled.

MOROCCAN DISPUTE.
American Squadron to Go to
 Spanish Waters.
THIS ORDER WILL PLEASE FRANCE
Our Delegates to Algeciras May Hold Balance of POwer-POlicing of Morocco h the Dis-
 puted Point.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. - The an- nouncement that an American squad ron is to go to Spanish waters pending the international Moroccan conference at Algeciras excites surprise and much talk among diplomats at Paris.
 Sigsbees squadron will be only six miles away when the Moroccan confer. ence meets.
 The visit of the squadron will please France, as it will put into the shade the German emperor's celebrated trip to Tangier. The other powers prob- ably will send single warship each.
 The agitation in Europe over the coming Moroccan conference and the result it may bring has spread itself to this country, and American officials are now deeply interested in the mat ter, whereas heretofore their interest has been but little more than casual. The reason for this increased impor- tance of the conference in the minds of. government officers here is due to the recently developed view that the American delegation to the conference is a most potent factor at the gather ing, being in a prospective position to control the situation.
 It has been thoroughly believed here that the various European govern ments who are so deeply interested in the conference, notably France and Germany, have agreed on programme which would be adhered to rigidly. The possibility of a split between these two governments on some of the ques. tions involved may throw the United States into a position where its dele. gates with their votes will have the power to settle the issue one way or another. 2. .s.... ..
 In this event it is considered that the position of the United States may be- come embarrassing. It is feared here that crisis such as existed between Germany and France last June, when the Moroccan situation was most acute may again be precipitated by the con ference which is to be held within . fortnight at Algeciras
 The main contention of. France is that she should be allowed to police Morocco. Germany desires interna tional policing, and on this point there is likely to be a decided difference.

FLOODS THREATEN

GRAVE
High Mark Passed by Three Inches.
San Joaquin Carries Tremen-
dous Volume Of
Water
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
STOCKTON. Cal. July THE flood
situation on the Delta lands west of
Stockton continues exceedingly grave,
and today the news comes from Clifton
Court that the water has reached
twelve feet six inches, or three inches
higher than ever before known.
At 2 o'clock today the water had
ceased to rise. and reports from up
river were to the effect that it was
falling at Paradise Cut and other
points. The tide in the river naturally
has some effect, and it is believed at
the next e5b of the tide the water will
recede
At Middle river bridge on the San
Joaquin river. the water rose an inch
last night. and it also rose on the cross
levee separa ting the old and new
reclamations on Union Island. The
levees are still holding. however.
What is now the greatest source of
danger there is the Grant line canal
Should this overflow it will cause a big
volume of water to sweep across the
country northward, menacing other
reclamationS.
The San Joaquin is now carrying a
greater volume of water than ever be-
fore known.

SAN DIEGO, July THAT former
Secretary Of Treasury Lyman J. Gage
has Joined Madame Katherine Tingley's
theosophical colony at Point Iona
there is no doubt, san Diegans say.
though no positive confirmation can be
had at the Theosophical Brotherhood
headquarters.
Mr. Gage has purchased a site for
his future home on the point, paying
$4,000 therefor 1t is near Madame Ting
ley's temple and I'm conspicuous place.
At present Mr.. Gage is staying at
the Prospect cottage.
In many quarters it is stated that
Mr.. Cages interest in the colony sprang
largely from a dream which directed
him to call on Madame Tingley for
directions
Dream May Have Prompted
This, 1t is thought. explains why the
former cabinet officer abandoned his
business activities. resigned his S500O0
a year connection with a New York
trust company and decided to devote
his future to upbuilding the theosophic
cult.
Mr.. Gage takes the stand that his
movements are of a private character.
Mr.. Gage declined to be interviewed
over the telephone or otherwise as to
his private business or his intentions.
When called up over the long distance
phone tonight by the Herald he was
asked as to the report that he intended
to make his home in Southern Cali
fornia.
Declines to Talk
II decline to make my private busi-
ness the subject of newspaper COM
ment." was the reply.
Then you decline to be intervewed?"
Il do not care to be interviewed ever,
but 1 will answer any question you care
to ask"
"Well, is it your intention to make
your future home at Point Iona, or in
Southern California;"
II decline to answer"
I'VE do not care to be offensive,
but would like to tell the people what
they want to know"
You may not want to be offensive,
but it is offensive to me as well as to
others to be called upon by news
papers to discuss our private affairs,
or have our private affairs discussed in
the newspapers. If. you can get 200
words or two words out of that you are
welcome to it. Good night"
Six months ago Mr. Gage was a visit
or here and at that time purchased a
building site from Mrs. Tingley near
the homestead. He stated that it was
for the purpose of making a home for
his grandchildren.
One of the stipulations in the deed
was that if the property was to be sold
at any time Mrs. Tingley should have
the first right to buy it at the same
figure that Mr.. Gage paid for 1t.
