CHINESE PRINCE A
GOOD ANGEL At YALE
PONSON CHU TO DEFRAY EXPENS-
Es OF ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL
TEAM AT UNIVERSITY.

NEW YORK, March S.-Modestly
disclaiming any right to the title OF
Prince" notwithstanding the fact
that his descent from a royal family
fully entities him to this distinction,
Ponson G. Chu Chinaman of twenty
one years, is pursuing a course of
study at Yale University which is de-
signed to fit him for the larger affairs
of life in his native land, where his
father is a high official
When he gets back he is likely to
open the eyes of his countrymen. He
has met the requirements of life in
Western country by discarding the
queue so dear to the heart OF every
Oriental. More than that, Chu dresses
in the height of American fashion, so
much so that he is popularity referred
to as the Beau Brummel of his class.
Blessed with all the wealth that
rich and indulgent parent places at his
disposal, Chu can afford to indulge in
most of the luXuries pertaining to
modern life, and his liberality is not
confined at all to his own needs.
An evidence of this, aside from many
minor benefactions, is his offer to de-
fray the expenses of the association
football team at Yale, the interests of
which are not well looked after in the
annual athletic appropriations.
Chu is a devoted admirer of the
game of "socker," as the more popular
style of English football is called. The
game has a tremendous vogue, being
played in all the colonies, every coun-
try on the European continent, in At
RIGA and South America. 1t has pene-
trated even to the heart of China.
Here it is the favorite game among
college students.
At home, Chu acquired a knowledge
of the intricacies of "sockeT" and par
ticipated in the games frequently Now
he turns out occasionally with the
squad, but his pet diversion is to root
for his side when engaged in matches
with other teams. He entertains
strong hopes that this season will find
the Yale eleven in the ascendancy, and
in the annual intercollegiate series for
possession of the trophy presented by
Fred Mines, captain of the Pilgrims
of England, now held by Haverford,
the chances of Old Eli emerging
triumphant, with Chu's substantial
aid, are of the rosiest.
Needless to say, Chu is a hero in the
eyes of his comrades, and, although he
does not concede them the privilege of
calling him Prince" they appreciate
and applaud his princely attributes.
Chu came to this country in 1904
and after a year in Washington enter
ed Yale as a member of the class of
1909. AS a matter of fact, he has a
distinctive rank all his own, as he
traces his genealogy to the last dynas-
ty-the Ming Dynasty, not the ruling
one, however. By the law of China all
titles expire with the death of a dy-
nasty.
Chu's father is director of the Gov
eminent Steamship Company and
holds a rank a little below that of gov
ernor, for which there is no equivalent
in this country

DID NOT STOP.

In the Poocno region there is a man
who has an unenviable reputation for
prevarication. One day, while driving
along the road to Stroudsburg, neigh
Dor passed him and called out: Hello
Pete! Can't you stop and tell us a lii
today?"
To which Pete replied: Nope! haint
got time. Sam Browns dead" and
then drove on as if he had some import
ant business on account of the death.
Of course the neighbor spread the
news of Browns death, and also to his
embarrassment found Brown still liv-
ing.
When next he met Pete he said:
"Pete, why did you stop and tell me
such lie for the other day? 1 got
myself in a nice fix"
Pete answered smiling. Il didn't
stop to til you. 1 kept on driving"

GERMANY STARTS
A DREADNAUGHT
SPEED MUST REACH NINETEEN
KNOTS AND COST IS NEARLY
$1O,OOO,OOO.

WILHELMHAVEN, March Ger
many's first mammoth warship was
successfully launched here today and
christened Nassau by the Grand Ouch
ess of Baden. Emperor William, the
Grand Duke of Baden, Prince Henry
of Prussia and Prince Henry of the
Netherlands, as well as a brilliant as
semblage of prominent officials, were
present
Wilhelm Won Hengstenberg lord
lieutenant of Hesse-Nassau, made a
speech in which he greeted the new
vessel as a welcome addition to Ger
many's sea power and defender of
the interests of the empire.
The launching of the giant battle
ship Nassau inaugurates new era in
the German navy. In size, armament,
speed and installation she will be SUI
perior to any warship hitherto built in
Germany.
SOME OF HER POINTS.
The Nassau displaces 1860 tons
and is built entirely OF hardened steel.
Her dimensions and the thickness of
her armor are not exactly known and
everything connected with her con-
struction has been kept strictly secret
by order of the marine minister. 1t is
known, however, that she is to be fit
ted with three sets of triple expansion
reciprocating engines and is to be pro-
vided with three propellers. 1t is spe-
Gifted that she shall attain a speed OF
at least nineteen knots. Her crew is
to number 500, including twenty-seven
officers.
The Nassaus first keel plate was
laid down in the imperial navy yard
at Bremerhaven in the last quarter OF
1906 so that her construction has been
very rapid. Her internal fittings and
armament are to be completed in the
first quarter of 1909.
The cost of construction, including
trial runs, will total S9,19O,OOO, OF
which s5,567 800 are accounted for by
the hull and internal fittings $3,SI5'ooU
for artillery and $247 800 for torpedoes
TWIN SHIP LAID DOWN.
! A twin ship in every respect, the
sachsen. is to be launched soon from
the Weser yard at Bremen, while
work is proceeding rapidly on the
Wurtemberg at the Vulkan yard, Stet-
tin. and on the Baden at the Germania
works. KEEL These latter two SHIPS
although classed with the Nassau, are
n have an even larger displacement
namely. Is, 700 tons, and are to be MT
ted with turbines, probably of the Far
sons TYNE. Two other battleships also
are to be laid down this year, ana
these are, it is believed, to displace
lover 10000 tons.
It has been stated in well-informed
naval circles that each of these YES
sells is to be armed with ten eleven-lncn
guns of fifty caliber in length, with
great muzzle velocity. The projectlle
of these weapons weighs between zoo
and 800 pounds, and as the guns are tc
be placed so as to fire simultaneously
from either broa1side, it will be pos
sible to discharge an enormous weight
of metal at one time.
The previous largest German battle
ships, are those of the Deutschland
class, of 1871 tons, carrying crews OF
100, including officers, and steaming al
speed of eighteen knots.

PROTECTION FOR DEP0sIToRs,
Postal Savings Banks Offer Salts
factory Measure of Protection,


Mr.. Bryan's scheme for the protec-
tion of depositors is to make solvent
and prudently managed banks pay the
losses of the insolvent and imprudently
managed. 1t is Il plan to make every
bank go security for every other bank,
and 1t may well be questioned IL law
imposing such an obligation without
the consent of the person charged
would be sustained by the courts.
Mr. Taft. discussing this subject. said
that he favored postal savings banks as
a protection for depositors rather than
the Brya ms mcfheoecmfwyp cmfwyp
the Bryan scheme of enforced liability.
The distinct advantage of the postal
savings bank proposition is that it
would provide for direct government
responsibility. The depositors would
be guaranteed against loss by the
government, because the banks would
be government institutions. There
would be no possibility of loss, and no
injustice would be inflicted upon other
banks like that to which they would
be subjected under the Bryan scheme,
If they were compelled to pay losses
incurred by banks over which they
had no control.
Postal savings banks in other coun-
tries have given great satisfaction, and
there is no question that they would
be conducted as safely and in every
other way as satisfactorily in the Unit
cd States. The government be-
ing the banker, would properly be
charged with responsibility to the de-
positors and others doing business
with 1t.
On the other hand, the State has no
more authority to make banker re-
sponsible for the debts of another
banker than it has to impose like
| responsibility upon n merchant for the
debts Of other merchants. Surety is a
matter of voluntary contract, and the
essential element In any financial OBJ
| legation is consent on the part of the
person to be charged. TO force n
banker to insure the payment of the
debts of another banker is to Impose
upon him an obligation against his
will, which would be manifestly un-
| just.-Denver Republican.

option with the stock that was issued
to Crawford, and in the purchase of
that option they, the Arizona Mining
and Trading company. agreed to pay
the $4,000 for the mine, and have it
transferred TO q Mexican corporation
of their organization, which, as 1t af-
forwards apears in the testimony of
this case, was the Overlook copper
company.
Now, it is indisputably established
by the evidence of all the witnesses,
without contradiction whatever, that
the plaintiff IN this case advanced
some $1,000 or $7O00-S200 and $1,000
and $500 and other amounts-in
money to this company. This Arizona
Mining and Trading company got the
money. and used part of it to pay
their running expenses and part of it
TO pay for this mine when money was
very scarce and hard TO get, and the
probability of their losing the title to
that Mexican mine confronted them.
They found there was a balance of
some six or seven thousand dollars
yet due TO Watts, and this plaintiff,
with other individuals, raised that
amount by giving their personal notes
TO Watts in payment for that mine,
and accepting other notes for the bal
ance that was due him instead of
cash, and he executed the deed to the
mine to their Mexican corporation,
which gave them the property accord
ing TO the contract they made in their
directors meeting with Crawford.
And l find that the money which the
plaintiff therefore advanced, for part
of which he held notes and the bal
aDce that he paid to Watts for that
mine, with some accounts from Over
lock and Crawford that were assigned
to him, and the payment of which ne
assumed in accordance with an agree
ment that he made with the company,
as noticed in the record of their di-
rectors meeting, aggregated the
amount of the face of the note-that
