AMERICANS WIN IN
 ASPHALT CONTRACT

Philadelphia June 2S.-(Special O-After trying all sorts of tar macadam pave ments in an endeavor to find something that would stand up under the enormous traffic that passes daily over the Thames embankment the London county council has awarded a contract to the Trinidad Lake Asphalt Co.,, Ltd, to pave this fam ous thoroughfare with sheet asphalt.
 This is the outcome of two years of experimentation, during which the Trim idad company, among others, laid trial pavements of few hundred yards. The order just given to one of the constituent concerns of the General Asphalt company of this city is for 6500 yards. While drays and heavy wagons are prohibited on the Thames embankment, the number of cabs, motors and other vehicles that pass over it probably exceeds the traffic over any other thoroughfare in tEe world.
 The decision to pave the roadway with sheet asphalt is considered a great tri- umph for American methods. The em- bankment pavement is to be con structed by removing three or four inches from the surface of the existing macadam and then laying two inches of dense binder course on which will be placed one and one-half inches of the regular surface mixture used on the best asphalt pave ments in this country.

CHARLES W MORSE
 PUT ON HIS FEET
John D, Rockefeller, IT, Has
 Aided the Ice Magnate
HEINZE IS THE SCAPEGOAT
Standard Oil People Have Made Bold Play For Morse In Order To Reach Heinze, Who Is Now
 Down and Out.

New York, June 2S.-(Special) )-John D. Rockefeller Jr, has come to the front in Wall street in the last few days as the reputed owner of the largest block of American Ice outside of holdings of Charles ". Morse.
 MT Rockefeller is understood to have purchased this stock in the open mar ket, some of it as low as $9 share last October after he had received reports as to it's value from expert accountants who were permitted to examine the books in his behalf.
 Since MT. Rockefeller cleaned up the market on American Ice it has advanced to about $2S share, and it's market valne now stands more than double what It originally cost him. Brokers who us- ually have good information concerning his movements say that he plans to put ice to $50 this summer. The stock sold at S9S little more than a year ago. It's high price in 1907 was sS, and in the panic of October it sold down to $.25.
 Incidentally MT Rockefeller's campaign in ice is expected to put Charles w. Morse on his feet again and to reward
  October in assisting in the financial slaughter of the Heinze outfit. Persons close to the Heinzes say their ruin never could have been accomplished but for the heavy selling of United Copper by MI. Morse at a critical moment. The Stand ard oil people had been gunning TOT Heinze in vain for many months, but could find no weak spot until MT. Morse played the Arnold Winklereid act, anu let his friends assault the Heinze pha- 1anx over his own apparently dead man cial body There is sofne dispute as to the facts in the case, but it Is generally believed in Wall street that the speedy resuscitation of MT. Morse since the panic has been due to the excellent support given to him by the Rockefellers, and especially by John D. Jr.
 On the advance which is planned for American Ice, MT. Morse is expected 10 liuuidate his holdings and re-establlsh himself in Wall street with an abundance of cash.
 In the meantime F. Augustus Heinze, sore but unconquered, is planning to re- cuperate his own fortunes in the west and will return after a few days to hght the battle all over again.

OPEN DOOR IN CoREA.
American Consul General Says Trade
 Is Not Restricted.

Tokio. Friday, May 22.-That there is no closed door in Korea is the positive assertion made not only by officials. but American business men who are doing a large business in Korea and this view is borne out by the statement made re- gently at Chemulpo, by Thomas Sam mons, the American consul general, who said:
 Those who seek the open door in Co., req will find it."
 It is a fact, however, that Japan, by reason of her geographical position, has the advantage over other competing na- tions and she has undoubtedly gained rapidly on other countries not only in Corea but in Japan and Manchuria it. self.
 Business methods different from those of old times are now necessary in order to meet the active competition of the Japanese, but where modern and up-to- date western ways of doing business are applied the American trader comes out, if anything, a little ahead. Exactly the same conditions apply to the situation in Manchuria.

BEAUTY OF COINAGE
 HAS DETERIORATED

From "The Coin of the Realm" by Peril
 ton Maxwell, in The Bohemian Maga-
 zine for July
 It is strange fact, and one that does small credit to modernity, that as the world has progressed in every other de- partment of life, the one dominating fac tor of the globe, money, has deteriorated in design, in beauty of idea and in clev- erness of execution. Our American coins for more than century have been se- ries of metal nightmares. Our earliest money pieces-the New England shilling, the Pine Tree pence of 1852, the coins sent over for use in the American Colonies by George the Third and the several dollar, half-dollar and penny pieces bearing DOT traits of Westinghouse ali of better design than anything now in circulation in this country. Crudey minted as these first coins were, they at least have sim plicity. an understanding of the limta.. tions of metal stamping and a good bal ance of inscriptions with the pictorial ef- feet. Take any of the pieces now in cir culation in these United States-anything from the copper one-cent piece with it's aenemic Indian head, to the silver half dollar, with its pseudo-Greek profile and
 
 cf garlic, and you have a set of coins compared with which the mintage of England France, Austria, Italy, Germany Spain and every other continental coun- try are as the sculptures of the Parthenon beside the snowman of your small boy in the back yard
 We are commercial people, proud of our supremacy in trade, industry and in- vention, yet we are content to handle, day in and day out, circulating medium which is less attractive than wampum, and not as beautiful as some buttons. It would seem that we, as a nation of money worshippers, should employ the highest skill and the keenest brains ob- tainable when it came to question of moulding the form before which we bow down. The trouble has been all along that the designing of our coins has been left in the hands of the mechanics of the mint; men well-meaning and practi- cal enough in the mere manufar- ture of money, but men without a scin- ulla of taste or training in art. When new coins were needed these men have given the American eagle different twist of the neck, added a wing-feather or two. hidden it's poor, distorted anatomy with Q shield or have turned to the other side of the medal and portrayed Liberty in a fools cap and have branded her with a strong Hebralc cast of countenance.

Washington, June 2s.-The state depart ment today received a telegram from Gov ernor Campbell of Texas assuring the federal government that the state of Texas will do all in her power to pre- vent the violation of the neutrality laws as a result of the reported revolution in northern Mexico.
