A RUINED MAN,
HE SPENT A
FORTUNE
G. K. Diller Forced Out Of
Jersey Fruit Car Com
pany's Presidency.

NEW BRUNSWICK, July 3l-The
resignation which had been requested
of George K. Diller, who has been the
president of the Consolidated Fruit Jar
Company for several years, was ac-
cepted at a meeting of the board of
trustees held on Monday. HIS
successor has not been named,
and Judge Theodore r. Booraem,
who Is the vice-president OF
the and Henry b. Kent.
secretary. are in charge until n presi-
dent is elected by the trustees. The
change in the management came as a
great surprise to the public. From the
statement issued by the trustees. IL has
been found that the management has
lost thousands under his rule.
Diller has left his wife and children
and wife's mother in this city, and ac-
cording to their statements, he has led
a double life for two years, during
which time he ~squandered, they say,
$50, 600 on a New York woman, whom
they know as e. NJ. Des Jardins and
Mrs. Essa Schott. Mrs. Nichols, OILERS
mother-in-law, declares that she sold
her jewels to supply him with money
Diller had assured them that he had
deserted the woman, but yesterday
morning a bill came from a New York
department store for goods which had
recently been purchased by her.
The disclosures of OILERS financial
condition have been a shock to his ac-
duaintances n business associates,
for although his wife and motherjn-
law have been steadily giving from
their private fortunes to save from the
disgrace hat they foresaw, they have
never permitted a hint Of their sac
rifces TO become public. The family
had been thought to be wealthy, but
OILERS mother-in-law, Mrs. Nichols,
said yesterday that he had gone
through a fortune approximating $780,
900 within the last o years.
OILERS wife, who was Frustrated by
grief and shame over his exposure, was
a Miss Nichols, whose father was
wealthy. Diller married her twelve
years ago at Clyde, N. Y. Upon her
fathers death, soon afterward, the
bride received a quarter of a million
dollars.
Diller was not here yesterday, but
Mrs. Nichols met a reporter at their
home at "a Church street. The elderly
woman felt bitterly the position into
which her son-in-law has forced her
self and her daughter, but, unlike the
younger woman, she maintained per-
feet composure. She did not hesitate to
speak of D1ller and his ways, Begin
ming with the time soon after her
daughters marriage, when she set Dill

expected at such ranges. This de-
monstrates anew that the DREAD
naught idea" is correct-that under
modern conditions of naval fighting
the ship with many heavy guns will
certainly beat the ship with lighter
guns, no matter how numerous they
may be.
Had the target been of full size, of
the size Of only ships that would
venture to engage the ships firing at
it, there is evidence that the percent
age of hits would have been twice as
large. Under such circumstances the
enemy's ships, unless their fire hap
pened to be as heavy and accurate
as the American, would have been
left sinking wrecks.
The American navy won it's place
on the seas by four qualities.
1. The spirit set before 1t in its
first important action by Paul Jones,
when he answered a question whether
he had surrendered by shouting from
the deck of his sinking ship, 81
have not yet begun to fight" and
sailed into port victorious in a shlI
taken from the enemy.
2. BY building ships just a littls
stronger and more heavily armed
than the enemy's ships that they
were to meet. The Constitution, for
example, had stronger timbers and
heavier guns than the British frig-
ates she overcame.
g. BY superior skill i'll seaman
shin, and by the daring that makes
skill effective, as illustrated My
Isaac Hull in his escape from the
British fleet, by Charles Stewart when
he backed his vessel around and SO
took both the Cyane and the Levant.
and by Decatur and Gushing In taeir
famous %cutting-ont expeditions.
a.. BY heavy and accurate gunfire,
such as left the Guerrero and
L'Insurgente sinking wrecks before
the gunner of Hull and Truxton
and drove the Spanish squadron on
the Cuban rocks.
The spirit of IL seamen have new
err lacked The ships are largely a
question for the naval architect. The
field of superior skill in handling
the ship has been in part removed
from the deck to the freehold. But
accurate gunnery is still dependent
on the individual men behind the
guns.
1t is with pride that Americans
can take assurance that the men arc
there as i'll the days Of old, and just
a little better men in their art than
any other nation has. They realize
that the shots that hit are the shots
that count in the day of battle, and
they are ready to make those shots

A Navy on Two Oceans.

Report has it that in his message
at the opening of congress the presi-
dent will urge the building of sew
eral battle ships and the naval COM
mittees of both houses will favor the
scheme. Probably this is correct.
The president is expected to urge this
on the ground that it will be neces-
sary to have two powerful fleets, one
on the Pacific and the other on the
Atlantic. AS this need ought to be
apparent to everybody, congress will
be expected to fall in line with the
presidents suggestion. According to
the present plans of the big Atlantic
fleet will be ready to start for the
Pacific just about the time that con-
gress is coming together. Two yes
sells Of the fleet have just got under
way, and are to make the trip before
the rest of the squadron moves.
The present plan is for most of the
fleet to return to the Atlantic after
making a cruise in the big western
ocean. 1t is safe to say, however,
that several of them will be detailed
for the Pacific permanently. AS the
president remarked in his recent st.
Louis address, the Pacific coast is
as much American as the Atlantic
coast, and 1t needs the protection Of
the navy just as strongly. There is
indeed, more need for a powerful
feet to be kept constantly in the Pa
cific than in the other ocean. Trouble
is much more likely to come from
Japan than from any other quarter.
For police purposes we need a large
feet on our western ocean border.
Our coast line there is much longer
than 1T is on the Atlantic and the
Gulf of Mexico.
Some democratic papers are say
ing that the presidents purpose In
sending the fleet to the Pacific is
to rouse a popular sentiment
throughout the country which will
compel congress, In the coming SEES.
sionsto provide for q substantial In
crease In the navy. Possibly they
are correct in this surmise. The In
crease. however Is needed, and II
ought toshave been authorized last
year or earlier. San Francisco,

lection Of our warshipss just as much
as do New York, Boston and Phila-

Ivan is in his last year and is indus
triously engaged in experimentation
his especial problem being to find a
practical way to treat the Stag from
the smelter. There is piled up near
the school more than II hundred
thousand tons of Stag from the Ma
tional Shelter, assaying two dollars
per ton. That is there is two hund-
red thousand dollars in gold lying
there If it can be saved. III Ivan
can devise a cheap method for treat
ing this Stag a fortune awaits him
for there are millions of tons OF such
Stag lying about the shelters every

A Young mar from the School OF
Mines devised a cheap chlorlnatloh
process for treating tailings from me
big stamp mills and secured o 1t
a comfortable competence. His pro-
cess is now being used for the treat
ment of the tailings at the Home
stake and saves to that company vast
sums in gold annually which former

The Tl.ip to the Hills.

SeVenty-tVe business men, accom-
panied by the band, returned Sun
day morning from a weeks trip into
the new country west Of the Missouri
river. The trip started from Sioux
Falls at two o'clock In the morning
and breakfast was served at Mitchell.
From that point until the end of the
trip at Huron, at nine O'Clock on
Saturday night, the trip was one CON
tinuous ovation. Nothing was too
good for the boosters from Sioux
Fails, and at nearly every point where
speeches were made the Argus-Lead-
er's motto of South Dakotans for
South Dakota was on the tongue or
every speaker.
The country west of the river has
great possibilities. 1t Is filled up with
a set OF young men who believe in
the country, and who have no apollo
gisss to make for themselves. They
have settled in this country because
they believed in its opportunities,
andFno town was SO small that it did
notsindulge in great plans for the fu-
ture.
Black Hills hospitality is we'll
known but it was ontdone on this oc-
c~asion. The visitors from Sioux Falls
wore treated like brothers and every
guest came home singing the praises
of the whole Black Hills region, as
wellsas Of the intervening country.
The primary object of the trip was
lato boost South Dakota. The second
AIRY object was to boost Sioux Falls.
Both of these objects were accom-
plished. There are today more peo-
pie who believe in South Dakota
than ever before and many Of them
live in Sioux Falls Should any Of
the cities OF. the region visited de-
eide to return the visit to Sioux Falls
they are assured of as hearty well
come as was measured out to the
business men of Sioux Falls last
Week.-ArguS-Leadar
