SCIENTISTS SURPRISED.
remarkable Statement at Congress in
Dresden About Atmosnbere

DRESDEN, Saxony, September 26.-At tha
meeting today of the congress of Cerma,
scientists a remarkable statement was made
by Prof Hergesell of Strasburg University
that atmosphere at high attitudes ,s the
coolest over the equator and the warmest
above the poles. This surprising fact be
explained. was determined by balloon as.
cents made during the month of July I'm
various ATTITUDES, under the auspices of the
international committee, which has been
investigating the atmosphere at high alti.
tudes.
Inc observations, which were taken with
AUTOMATIC instruments attached to I'M
manned balloons, have not yet been worked
out In detail, but Prof. Hergesell finds his
conclusions abundantly proved through the
ua,a mus collected Balloons which reached
attitudes of eleven to twelve and one-haIf
miles in the tropics were found to have
registered about 14S degrees below zero
Fahrenheit, while in the latitude of central
europe the temperature was only 80 to 81
below zero at the heights Indicated
Another fact established by these ba loon
ascents is that the greatest cold of the
upper atmosphere is reached at heights
from six to six and three-quarters miles
varying somewhat in different parts of the
world. Above that height contrary to the
actually grows warmer. This warmer
strata of air is deduced to be highest at
the equator and lowest at the po.e. where
1t Is estimated to begin at about four and
one-third miles.
Prof. Hergesell concludes that the atnlos-
pherfc conditions affecting the weather do
not reach higher than seven miles.

BEAVERS QUITS PRISON
NOTED P. o. CRATER DIS
CHARGED FROM MoUNDsvILLE.

WHEELING, w. Va, September &C.
George w. Beavers, who, with August
Machen, DR.. DorenZ, the Groffs and others
was implicated in defrauding the United
States government through the Post Office
Department. was released from the peniten
uary at Moundsville Tuesday at midnfeb+
after having served a two years sentence
less the customary good time allowance
He left Moundsville early yesterday morn
ing on Baltimore and Ohio train No s for
his residence at Brooklyn, where he is said
to have an elegant home and a snug for
tune at his command
Aside from the disgrace and humiliation
of being a convict, Beavers sojourn at the
penitentiary was scarcely more unpleasant
than would have been a like period spent lin
a health Santarium.
Both he and Machen were permitted to
spend much time outside the walls and De-
came familiar personages on the streets of
Moundsville in the afternoons and evenings
On many of the warm summer afternoons
Beavers, with several books under his arm
and pipe between his lips. would wend his
way to the river, where he would sit in the
shade and read by the hour.
Beavers is large and portly, weighing over
100 pounds, and leaves the prison in excel
lent physical condition.
Machen, who was one of the first of the
post office grafterS received at the peniten-
tiary, has about a year yet to serve. He
was convicted on one Indictment and plead
guilty to the second getting two years on
each.

voLIvA QUITS ZION CITY FIGHT
Tells Followers He Lost Option on
New Mexican Site.

CHICAGO, September 26.-Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, who successfully grasped the reins
of government of Zion City from the hands
of John Alexander Dowie, and expected to
reign in his stead after the death Of .Dowie,
last night announced to 1000 of his fol-
lowers in that city, torn by many factions,
that he had given up the fight there.
AT the same time he announced that he
had lost the options upon the land in New
Mexico where he expected to found new
colony. but would buy property adjacent to
Zion City and found the colony there.
The speech of Voliva was his swan song,
so far as Zion City is concerned He said
that he had received formal notice from
John c. Hately the receiver of Zion City,
to vacate the premises. which he has used
as offices and the publication plant Of his
official paper, within thirty days. He said
that he would get out and would not pay
another dollar to the receiver. Voliva was
bitter against Mr.. Hately and branded his
treatment as persecution.
No explanation of how he lost the option
on the lands in New Mexico was vouch-
safed by Voliva. 1t was generally under
stood that he had failed to receive the
financial backing he had expected.

EVIDENCE FINISHED TODAY
ADJOURNMENT OF GAS HEARING
NTH OCTOBER 4.
Arguments Of Counsel to Be Heard
Next-Substance Of the
Testimony.

The introduction Of testimony concerning
the value of the plant Of the Georgetown
Gaslight Company was completed today
and adjournment taken until Friday,
October 4. when arguments will be heard
by Auditor James G. Payne, who is pre-
siding at the hearing. When the auditor
has reached a decision he will report to
Justice Gould, holding Equity Court No. 2,
for the final approval or disapproval of his
findings.
In accordance with the request of Mr..
Thomas representing the District Commits
sioners, John E. Bates, the company's &C
countant. testified that in the total Of the
construction account as given yesterday
$24.11573 represented the amount expended
by the company in the purchase Of its
realty holdings; s35 O25.S2 for service pipes
and SlS,5sO63 for meters. He found, he
said, IN the early years of the company 8
existence that meters were charged to the
repair account and that thereby from
$4,000 to $1,000, which should properly be
added to the total of the construction ac
count, did not show in the total given.
Mr.. Perry took the witness back over his
testimony of yesterday in order to have him
explain what he meant by saying he had
auued to the construction account items
which did not appear on the books under
that heading. Mr.. Bates explained that
there were five ledger accounts-construc
ton extension of mains. extension of works.
.
all these accounts, he declared, when COM
piling the statement of construction filed
yesterday with the auditor.
Statement of Witness Explained.
Counsel for the company in conversation
with The Star reporter today explained the
testimony of Accountant Bates concerning
the purchase of gas from the Washington
company at 60 cents per thousand. They
characterized the transactions accommo-
datiOnS and said the price excluded all costs
of distribution, such taxes, leakage, in
spection, collection and administrative
penSeS.
The amount of these additional expenses,
it was suggested, can be understood when
1t is borne in mind that taxes alone
amount to about I per cent of cost and
that leakage constitutes 10 per cent. The
amount of gas. it was explained so pur-
chased about 10 per cent of the gas
sold by the Georgetown Company, and
was brought to meet the exigencies of
emergencies when the demand for gas eX-
ceeded the capacity of the old tanks of the
company. They vehemently denied that
the company had made profit of 80 cents
per thousand by charging sl.25 for the
gas purchased at GO cents per thousand.

CORTELYOU ON WAGES.
Says Americans Are the Best Paid in
the World

NEW YORK, September 26.-George B..
Cortelyou. Secretary of the Treasury. in an
address at the formal opening of the new
Wanamaker store here said: mo road is
too hard for the American business man to
travel. no obstacle great enough to stop
him so long as he sees ahead something yet
to be done.
Back of him. sharing in his successes and
not envying him his just reward, stand the
thousands of emplOyeS-the great army of
American wage-earners, the best-paid body
of men and women in the world We have
much to show the world evidence Of
Americas material greatness. but | venture
to say that there is nothing in that re-
spect that should regard with as much
pride as the American pay roll. 1t has no
equal anywhere. In a large sense it l-ls
made the American home. the American
school and the American savings bank the
envy of the world, tempting thousands to
our shores every day to share pros
perity and our contentment."

Against the Parcels Post.

RICHMOND, September 26-The drug
gists of the state, in annual convention
here, have gone on record as against the
parcels post. The stand is taken to protect
the merchants of the cities and towns
against the aggressions of the department
stores as that would give the larger con-
Germs entire control Of the business of the
country. Then. too, it would mean the
complete humiliation of the country stores.
The vote was almost unanimous against
the adoption of the BILL and the representa-.
tives from this state will be asked to vote
against the measure.
In this connection it is recalled that Post
master Cabell. in his address before the
rural letter carriers here. took precisely the
same ground and is unalterably opposed to
the parcels post.
