GLITTERING MINING
BUBBLE IS PRICKED
Postofhce Inspector Raids
Office of @. w. Emanuel
& Co.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE most stu
pendous mining fraud ever operated in
America" according TO Chief Pos fhcd
Inspector W S. Mayer, was brou c 10
a sudden halt today by Federal al lOr-
ilies raiding the Offices Of George W
Emanuel & Co, SO Fifth avenue.
Those arrested were Louis a. Prince
and 7 Walter Labaree, who is now
connected with the Quibdo Cold Dredg-
ing Company Of Go Broadway. Emanuel
narrowly escaped arrest by taking flight
for Mexico a half hour before the raid
was made.
Late tonight, CranstOn Thomas. sup
posed to be one Of the moving spirits
in the concern. was taken at his home
in Brooklyn
The operations of the men now under
arrest are believed to form a vast swim
ding web. the meshes Of which extend
over the entire country, Mexico, and
a part of South America. Millions Of
dollars are believed 10 have already
been secured by the galaxy Of talent,
while the modest goal at which they
aimed was S152, 10000 from the pockets
Of the public.
Outdoes the Mississippi Bubble.
"The Mississippi bubble Of John Law
is only the work of an amateur in COM
parison with IT," said POstofnce In
spector Elmer L. Kincaid. who con-
Quoted the raid. 1T is the most dan
gerous 'get-rich-quick' scheme ever nm
earthed Had 1t remained unchecked Il
would have compared with the Standard
oil in magnitude"
The names of the men involved in
the arrests Of today include several
prominent financiers and two we'll
known bucketshop operators who have
previously been the object Of a police
search.
The mother company is the "old re-
liable" Mutual Trust Company Of Mex
leo, and under its fostering care George
w. Emanuel & Co. was organized by
Prince and Labaree. These men were
the principals in a sensational bucket
shop failure four years ago, amount
ing to nearly half a million dollars.
After that fiasco Isabaree temporarily
disappeared from view
Prince again came into notice a year
ago when his affinity threatened Ia

SMOOTH PRESS AGENT
 . ...W0RkED ST. PAUL, MIN.
He. Played Upon That city's Pride of , Its Women. -

|, St. Paul. Minn., Nov. Especial Correspondent of The Republican saint Paul has been cleverly worked by smooth press agent, and, while conscious of the bait 1t -unsuspect- ingly swallowed, is glad of it. The city has sustained the reputation of its women and has gone Chicago nine teen better without turning a hair.
 A sad eyed stranger recently wan dered into Saint Paul and went quiet ay about the promotion of light opera production, shortly to reach the city. Within day or two he casually remarked that his company contained a Chicago girl with the smallest foot in the world. and pityingly remarked that he was sorry Saint Paul could boast no such petite beauty When he offered to bet, men tore. their pants pockets getting their money out. Ter rible excitement ensued, and Saint Paul. always famed for beautiful wo- men. was turned over to scouting parties searching out pretty debut antes with feet tiny enough to go into a number one. AAA ladies' shoe.
 The.'fatal day arrived. The slipper worn by the Chicago ravisher was on exhibition in the largest shoe shop in the city. Round behind post the sad-eyed individual smiled softly as twenty dashing Saint Paul beauties in turn slipped the dainty slipper on, and one, pretty and blonde and petite laughed disdaipfully and proved that for her at least number one, three A is too large. The sad-eyed one was lingering column upon column of press dope" which was an unnoticed byrproduct of the accidental contest.
 The light opera came, dawdled through three dreary acts and is going its way with it's coffers full of good iron dollars. It played to crowded house every night. but Saint Paul was happy, for each night in the boxes were members of the glorious com pany of twenty. living proof. of that precarious hour when Saint Paul smote Chicago hip and thigh and. then handed out a few short armed jabs for good measure
 Here and there, however, people are beginning. to wonder if the innocent stranger. after all. has not played it low down on Saint Paul It was good press work. and it dawns upon the discerning that perhaps after all that fierce local pride served a double pur- pose In keeping a lame and halting ghost going for: ar few, more weeks.

MEXICO INTERESTED
 IN IRRIGATION WORK
Locke FaVorably on the Project of a
 Pan American Irrigation Congress.

Some time ago. following the meet ing of the Sixteenth irrigation con- gress in Albuquerque, mention was made of the project of organizing a Pan American Irrigation congress. That it is meeting with favor in Mex ico is indicated by the following let ter that has been received by B. A. Fowler, secretary of both the 16th and 17th Irrigation congress. It comes from F. F. Pourade of Caliacan. Sina- loa, Mexico:

 Well, it seemed as if they took Henry for an officer. for they dragged him off with them as they reiterated. and he was still struggling. and they were jabbingrat him with their bayo- nets.
 And Captain Turner-we had a breathing spell as the Russians fell away-Captain Turner called out: There goes poor Henry, Who'll vol unteer to get him back?'
 There were just three gunners with me at my gun-C0Oke and Steve Hunt and Jim McGraw-and they fol- lowed me right out after Henry It was dash of. fifty yards to come up with him. and before we got there Hunt and Cooke were shot dead. but McGraw kept right close along with me. and we came up with Henry just as he fell down under juniper tree, where he was still fighting with the men who were holding and stabbing him.
 He saw me as I went to him on the jump. Hello. Pati' he called out; always a cool sort of a chap he was, even when excited-heIlo Pat, Are you a prisoner too%

 That Russian went down, and Me Graw struck in beside me. and for a little while it was just hit and smash

GREATEST PROSPERITY FOR
CITY AND IT'S ENVIRONS
Writer Tells How Widest Canal
Ever Built Will Be of In
estimable Benefit.

When some ld-blooded statistician
announced several years ago that in
about fifteen years New York would
have utilized all its available pier space
along its water front, the business
world stirred uneasily. 1t is not re-
earded as auspicious for a city to eX-
haust its natural advantages. 1t
q ~standstill. and all the time rival cities
are going ahead. Not only commercial
reasons but civic pride are back of the
determination to maintain the port of
New York as the greatest of the West
crn Hemisphere; therefore the uneasi-
ness soon turned TO worry and later
genuine apprehension.
Now there need be no more uneasi-
ness, worry, or alarm over the posi-
bility of the port laurels going else
where, writes Amos Stote In Van Nor
GEMS Magazine. After every inch of
the pier space in New York and along
the Jersey coast is taken. there will be
mile after mile of docking facilities
awaiting the ships OF the world right
On the harbor; in the midst of a city
of factories with great railway sys-
TENS running to the very of
tho ships.
Newark. y. j., has stepped forward
with plans for water front improve
ments that have saved the day. 1t is
TO be a municipal enterprise, wned by
the city and conducted by it. The work
Is under way now n will continue for
forty years. In the meantime steam
ship lines crowded off the harbor or
deferred by rapidly increasing pier
rents, transportation charges and the
like will be able to steam up Newark
Bay and into commodious berths with
water deep enough TO f1oat a heavy
laden Lusitania or d deep-draught war
ship.
Millions for Gigantic Task.
The water ron improvements of
Newark, although national in impor-
lance, up TO now have attracted little
more than local attention. That Is be-
cause this city of 800, 900 has chosen not
to adopt the brass band method in do
ing it's work. Federal, State and
municipal engineers have been at work
for a year now and the world outside
has heard nothing. They have arranged
TO raise q million dollars by a bond
sale and viii raise $50 600 more. but
no outside aid. has been asked, nor will
it bo asked. predges are now at work,
draining is under way. but no one out
side Newark talks of it. As q matter
of fact this New Jersey city, too little
known because ii is too near the
metropolis. is handling the job alone,
If Newark were a Thousand miles away
from New York everybody would he
talking about it.

We haven't any secrets now. The
only ones we ever had were about con
struotion details not then patented. ]
you'd rather not try to make the de-
tails plain now, but there are some
things / can say which you cannot well
misunderstood. The machine 1 have in
Washington. while a new machine and
not yet fitted together, is very similaf
to the orc my brother Wilbur has in
France. 1t is forty feet wide over all,
and about thirty from stem to stern,
standing about eight feet high.
Cnrburetcrless Motor.
II has one motor, of our own make.
which develops twenty-five to thirty
horsepower. 1t differs from many mo-
tors II than II has no carbuteter. We
pump the gasolene directly into the
intake pipes. where the mixture is
formed. We thus get q constant mix
ture and avoid carbureter troubles en-
tirely. No, we don't want to control
the speed of the motor. We adjust ii
to run at it's best and leave 1t alone.
The speed at which we fly is gov
erned by the planes and the resistance
we offer of the air. a carbureterlcss
engine would not do on an automobile,
because it would not have a speed con-
troll. but OIL an aeroplane, where the
minimum is about t~wenty-six miles an
hour n tho maximum forty miles,
and where the different speeds can
all be regulated with the planes, we have
nc need for a motor with varying
speeds.
