Washington. July 1.-"Mlll;ons #
dollars-in fact. a sum so vast that it
cannot now be estimated-have been
saved to the American people by dis
coveries made by government scien-
lists during the fiscal year which
closed Sunday" declared Secretary
Wilson in speaking Of the record OF
the department OF agriculture for the
year. Time alone must develop the
Importance to the world OF the expert
ments being conducted every day by
these men, whose only reward is in
the passing fame attained in report
ing valuable finds. There would be
money in many of these discoveries II
the scientists were to patent them in
their own names, but in every case
the people as a whole are the bene-
factors, for the patents are dedicated
to the government to be used by the
United States or any Of its officers or
employees in the prosecution OF work
for the United States. or by any per-
son In the United States without the
payment of royalty"
Secretary Wilson feels that the rec
ognition by the government Of these
discoveries is far too maager, but he
does not hesitate to give to the scien-
list this little help whenever he feels
that It is merited. Whenever a val
liable discovery, warranting United
states patent, is made by an employee
OF the department OF agriculture, the
secretary advances the salary of the
employee as much as II is possible to
do under the law. The patent is taken
out in this country in the name of the
scientist making the discovery and
then dedicated to the United States
II the discovery is applicable to use
in a foreign country the scientist is
authorized to receive the benefit. but
usually the patent is Of a character
designed to meet conditions in the
United States and of little value else
where"
Among the patents which have at
tracted national attention are in re-
lation to the labelling of fresh meats
that have passed government inspec-
ton, the use of feldspathic rocks as
fertilizers and the prevention of cor
rosion OF fence wire and rusting of
iron and steel generally. Secretary
Wilson estimated that the discovery
Of an ink which may be used in stamp
ing carcasses that have passed gov
eminent meat inspectors and which
will not stain. spread or penetrate the
meat will in itself save the govern
ment between 100000 and $500 900
next year and proportionately larger
sum annually as the amount Of gov
ernment-inspected meat increases.

KMPTIEp THE VAULT
This Bank Teller Didn't BslIsVs In

New York, July A reward OF
$500 has been offered for the cap
ture of Chester b. Runyan, paying
teller OF the Windsor Trust company,
who, II il charged, walked out Of the
Office with s96,317 Of the banks money
IN a suitcase. The theft was not de-
tected until the next morning. II had
been executed with a boldness as
startling as the deed itself was sur
prising to those who had intimately
known and trusted the man.
Runyan had announced his intention
of spending the day with his mother,
who, he said, was i'll at Rochester. He
brought his suitcase to the bank in
the morning. Though the paying tel
ler's cage is in plain sight Of other
employees, his vault was literally emp
tied during the forenoon. Not q nick
Ell remained apparently when at IL: 80
o'clock Runyan locked tho vault and,
leaving the suitcase filled with money
In the cage, went out to lunch. In
forty-nve minutes he returned and
bade his associates good-by, and. pick
ing up the case, left the once. No
trace Of his subsequent movements has
been discovered.

New York, July 1.-The new immi.
grafton laws placing numerous restric.
tions upon the incoming OF undesira.
BILE foreigners. went into effect today.
The most important change brought
about by these acts. which congress
passed in February. is the increase OF
the head tax from 81 to 81. with ths
provision that all over 100000 OF
the revenue so derived will revert to
the United States treasury instead OF
being entirely devoted to the uses of
the immigration bureau. Inasmuch as
the immigration for the past two years
has been over a million annually, the
income to the government from this
source will be considerable.
Another change makes the steam
ship companies subject to a fine OF
500 for transporting physically or
mentally defective immigrants. or
those afflicted with loathsome or con.
tagious diseases. The law further pro-
vides for expectation of women found
to be leading immoral lives within
three years after their arrival The
immigration officials are also empow.
cred to arrest those who harbor wo-
men of this character. and fixes a fine
OF $1,000 and Imprisonment for five
years in event of conviction for such
offenses.
