How many millions OF pounds
worth of property lies unclaimed to-
day In the form of shares, dividends,
deposits of money, plate and Jewels
In the hands of bankers, companies,
solicitors, auctioneers. and others?
This is the fascinating question
raised by the writer's of a letter, who
urge the Chancellor of the Exchequer
to lay hands upon the spoil and de-
vote 1t to the increase of national
revenue.
Unclaimed wealth in the hands Of
the Crown and funds in Chancery
amount to more than $50 900. 900.
Is IL possible that the funds in pri-
waite hands amount to an equally
large sum?
Some of the examples Of hidden
wealth given by the writer's OF the
letters suggest that the amount
must at any rate be large one. 1t
is not, apparently, the custom OF
companies to search very far for the
owners of unclaimed dividends. Oc-
easionally the chairman of com
pany refers to unclaimed amounts.
In the case of building society the
chairman announced at the annual
meeting that certain unclaimed mon
sy had been utilized to form reserve
fund.
In ffty-five years." explained the
secretary of the society yesterday,
I'VE have accumulated 5000 of un-
claimed deposits. At any time we
are liable to be asked to refund this,
and should do SO with interest. -

The reason why currants are so

saccharine in Its most easily digesti-

! at o'clock. The two houses were in
session and the gallaries and lCbbies
were crowded with spectators. Taft
and Takahira were given a cordia
reception, Takahira spoke briefly
Taft discussed the relation of the
states to the federal government. He
said the development of the country
had made some matters relatively
important than state matters when
compared with the conditions of hun.
dred years ago, but said this did not
mean a surrender of states rights,
He added: Il tremble to think what
this government would be If every
thing was centered In the District of
Columbia. The states, governors and
legislatures must not lose their sense
of responsibility in respect to their
duty within their functions, lest tho
movement in favor of minimizing state
power shall gain In strength"

he hoped the good feeling existing be-
tween the United States and Japan
would always continue.

at the state house the visitors were
driven to Masonic Temple, where the
chamber cf commerce banquet took
place Takahifa was the first speaker

as he rose to speak.
A large portion CT his speech was
given to the discussion our relations
with Japan, which he insisted are as
cordial today as they have been for
many years. Latest evidence of this
is to be found in Japans invitation
to the battleship fleet to visit that
country, and the presidents prompt

At DES MONIES
DELEGATES OF UNIONS IN DIS
TRiCT THIRTEEN TO GATHER
TODAY.
COMMITTEE OF MINERS
Will Be Appointed TO Meet Operators
to Try to Agree On Wage Scale
For Next Two Years
Trouble is Expected.

Des Moines, Ia, March 23-Dele
gates from 100 local coal miners
unions in district No. 13, comprising
ell Iowa and part of Missouri, will
be here tomorrow to attend the bien
nial convention.
This meeting will appoint a confer
ence committee to meet with a com
mittee of operators with view to
agreeing upon a scale for the next
two years and to- consider amend
ments to the bylaws and constitution.
Both sides will present demands.
The operators want concessions and
the men would like an advance in
wages. but there arc many other
points to come up. For instance, in
the present agreement there is a
clause which protects the operators
If strike is started which has no
merit, each man is fined $500 per
day. and this money goes to the
death fund of the miners organiza
tion.
The operators want this changed
so that they will secure the benefit
and not the death fund They say
they want some protection against
and foolish strikes
which cause them loss and damage
This promises to be one of the
stumbling blocks, for the miners do
not propose to sign contract for the
next two years which will allow the
operators to go into court and sue for
damages and thus make an attack
upon their big defense fund now in
d r.lrs.
