Report by Expert shows That Tract
Resembles Kimberly District.

Little Rock, Ark. Nov. 24-Prof Philip
Schneider, geologist Of Syracuse Univer-
sity. who was employed by the State De-
partment of Agriculture to make an in
vestigation of the diamond fields Of Pike
County, Arkansas, has flied his report
with State Agriculture Commissioner
Guy 3. Tucker. Prof Schneider, in his
report. says much of the land inspected
is worthless, but that a few acres, COM
prising what is known as the Huddleston
and Money places, comprise the rich pro-
ducing land. He says surface indications
show that this territory equals Kimberly
in South Africa. The dirt resembles
in every respect the Kimberly tracts in
South Africa.
Prof. Schneider says there can be no
doubt that genuine diamonds have been
secured from the HuddlestOn tract. The
report is now in the hands of the public
printer and copies OF it will be distributed
as soon as they come from his hands.

MAY DROP PAPAL NUNCIOS.
RumOred Pope Is TO Replace Them
with Apostolic Delegates.


with Apostolic Delegates.
Rome, Nov. 24.-It Is semiofIicially an
nounced that the Pope viii abolish all the
nunciatures abroad and replace the papaI
representatives by apostolic delegates.
This would mean great change in the
policy OF the Vatican followed for cen
turies past
Apostolic delegates are not diplomatic
Representatives They never are recog-
nized as such by the countries in which
they exercise their functions For in
stance. the three apostolic delegates in
the United States who lately have repre-
sented the papal power in the American
republic have never received official rec
ognition from the American government.
Notwithstanding the efforts Of the Vati-
can authorities 20 have their representa-
tive at Washington included in the diplo-
matte corps.
The higher-paid papal representative
abroad Will receive in future the same
yearly salary as Mgr Falconio. the papal
delegate 10 the United States, who has
20 get along on 81 800 a year. The change
will save the Vatican administration at
least 100000 a year.

Representative Livingston, OF Georgia.

Aasley. Of Atlanta, Ga. one OF the best
known real estate men in the South.
Mr.. Ansley suggests 10 the President.
as a means Of preventing a recurrence OF
a financial stringency the making Of the
cultivated lands a basis OF credit with the
national banks up TO at least 80 or 80 per
cent OF their actual market value, and
thus provide currency or basis OF credit
that could not be controlled by the ma
nipulstOrs OF the East and which would
marketing tneir crops.
1T will be claimed by the national
banks" writes Mr. Ansley. that these
lands. or mortgages based on them. do
not form quick assets. but as these
lands, with even poor cultivation. viii
produce from . to 1e0 per cent net an
nually on the amount invested. both in
the land and in producing the crops, Il
can easily be demonstrated that there IS
more intrinsic value IN these lands than
in nearly any class Of securities now ac-
cepted by national banks. and certainly
they are not so susceptible TO the vicissi-
tudes of bad and dishonest management
that cause large amounts Of the bonds
and stocks now recognized as good secur-
tiles by the banks 20 become worthless in

A RAILROAD PRESIDENTS VIEWS

In a speech delivered before the
Chamber of Commerce of Petersburg,
Va, Mr. L. e Johnson, president OF
the Norfolk and Western railway, pre-.
scented with striking simplicity and
elearness the relationship between
rates and capitalization. from the
viewpoint of the railway operator.
There has been much discussion of
this subject of late Some Of the
discussion has been haphazard and in
coherent: at least, IL has served Ill 10
show just what part capitalization
playg in the making of rates. and so
the plain layman. az distinct from the
political agitator and the railway
partisan, has been confused rather
than helped by it. One of the com
mon arguments OF the political
orators is that rates are made and
increased from time to time to earn
profits on watered stock. but Mr..
johnson contends that economic laws
and not capitalization fix rates. and,
Furthermore, that rates have been
steadily reduced instead of increased.
He takes the position that a railway
cannot fix rates arbitrarily If 1t would
for ,competition. natural conditions of
a community and business laws be-
ycnd its control dominate 1t. The
common adage," says MIR Johnson,
is that il takes tsgo to make a bar
gain, but. in the case of railroad
rate, it takes three. The rate must
r. sah a one that satisfies all the
PARTIES to the transaction. II must
ht so adjusted that the seller can sell
rnd make money. the buyer can buy
and make money. and the railroad can
carry and make money. II each of
these elements does not exist, then
there is something ecopsnic lily
wrong somewhere, and If these differ
ences are not reconciled tie traffic
will have to be abandoned. Neither
congress. the legislatures, commits.
sions nor courts can change economic
laws"
In enacting legislation OF any char
acter the aim should be exact justice.
In legislation pertaining to railroads
IL should be The desire to insure jus.
tice 10 the public at large, TO shippers
and TO the railroads themselves Mr..
