The daily sentinel., 1908-01-02

Washington, Jan. George R..
Cortelyou, secretary of the treasury,
will appear before Justice Gould of
the district of the supreme court to-
morrow to explain why he should not
be enjoined from turning over aid
delivering to successful bidders the
balance of the $21, ,450, 900 of the
Panama canal bonds. The bonds
have been allotted to certain banks
and individuals.
The citation of the appearance OF
Secretary Cortelyou before Justice
Gould was issued at the request of
George W. Austin of New York. who
describes himself as a taxpayer and
property owner in the United States.
Austin asserts that he made propos-
al to purchase bonds of the adver-
tised issue of the face value of So
ed issue of the face value of $1,000
100000. He states in his petition
he had agreed to pay for the bonds
at the rate of 1O3.375 and accrued
interest per 500 and on notice of
the acceptance of his subscription
ready to deposit the amount with
the assistant treasurer of the Unit
ted States in New York.
In his petition to the court Austin
declares that he has learned through
the press that in direct violation of
the statutes governing such bond is
sues ard in absolute disregard of the
provisions of circular No. 6S of the
treasury department, that of the
$25, 100000 of the bonds allotted
only $1.0O0,00O were awarded to in
dividual bidders. as distinguished
from banks and corporations, and

should have been given an equal op-
portunity to subscribe for the bonds.
The remaining 24.0OO.00O 1t Is al
legged by Austin were allotted to di-
vers national banks throughout the
United States. and only $3.550.00O
of the $24,00O,0OO bonds sold to
banks were at a higher price than
that offered by him.
According to Austin's petition,
when he learned that his bid had
been ignored and no allotment made
to him he appealed to the treasury de-
partment and the response OF Sec
retary Cortelyou Convinced him of
the secretary's intention to disregard
the statutes and thereby commit a
malfeasance for which he alleges Mr..
Cortelyou Is not a man of sufficient
means 10 answer to the United States
and to him.
In his statement, Austin also cites
the bid of George A. Roman of New
York. who has complied with the
terms of the secretary's circular in
every particular. but whose bid was
ignored. II is declared that Roman
offered bids for s1.00O,000 for 103.-
$3.50. for S1.00O,0OO at s1O375 and
for s1,000,0OO at 104 ard that a
further bid was made by Roman for
81. 100000 at 1926.
Austin's petition concludes with
the statement that by reason of the
secretary's ignoring of the bids cited.

Cooks For Vacation.
If you had $4,000 slowed away
away in the bank, would
you shine shoes at ten cents a clip
seven days year in and year out? asks
the Ohio State Journal. 1t is not very
likely you would, it continues, but
that is Just what Al Shartle, one of
the most unique financiers of Day
ton, is doing, and, moreover he Is
happy and can't be induced to quit
his Job. The only time Shartle gives
up his "shine box" is during the aut-
umn, when accompanied by his broth
er. he makes the rounds Of the coun-
ty fairs Of Ohio. This week he is at
the state fair, conducting a restaurant
under the grandstand. This is his va
cation. 1t gives him rest from bend
ing over the muddy boot, and at the
same time he is adding to his fortune
and having a good time, which means
to a fellow who is making
thousands of dollars, ten cents at a
time.
Sha"tle began his strange money
making career in Dayton in 1867,
when he discovered that there was
more money in polishing pair of
shoes at ten cents than in cooking
meals for which someone else obtain
ed the profit. He had been a cook
as Il youth. When he changed his
trade business was small at first, but
gradually he increased it. until at the
present time his clientele is sufficient
to keep him busy all day-every day.
When Shartle shines your shoes
they reflect your face and the heavens
above Most Of his trade is confined
to office buildings and large stores.

THE GUlLLOTlNE.
Denial That the Ordinary Account ot
II Is Authentic.

In Il book just published by Hector
Fleischman in Germany, the story Of
the origin of the instrument Of eXecu-
ton which was named for Doctor
Guillotin in the days Of the Reign Of
Terror is fatty denied. There is no
truth in the story, which has so long
been believed" he says, that the ge-
nial old physician invented the machine
which was named for him and by
means of which he is said to have lost
his life shortly after its adoption. Gull
lotn, in keeping with the spirit Of his
time, proposed on October 10, 1889, that
all offenders, regardless of their birth
u station. should be dealt with alike
by the law, and six months later he
proposed to the government that con-
victed murderers should be beheaded by
means of a simple apparatus The
mechanism Of which he and no one else
had any idea at that tine was spoken
of as the Simple apparatus by the
humOrists of the day, and the phrase
was used to make it's proposer ridicu-
lous. so that when a machine finally
was adopted the wits of the time NAM
ed it guillotine. The government, evil
IDENTITY recognizing the value of the
asked one Antoine Louis, a
surgeon at the Salpetriere, to devise a
machine. and later gave a similar or
der to Il carpenter by the name Of
Guidon, who offered to construct an
instrument for decapitation for $3.50
lvres. This was considered too high a
price, and the contract was given to a
German cabinet maker by the name Of
Tobias Schmidt, who received S24
livres for the accepted model in 1892.
Schmidt made guillotines for all the
provinces. and the industry brought
him a moderate fortune, which he pro-
Cceded to squander in Paris, while DR..
Guillotin, who never had anything to-
do with the making Of a machine which
bore his name, continued to practice
his profession quietly and unostenta-
tiously in Paris until he died there on
March &c, 1914"

Money making is a habit with him.
He likes it. He claims he does not
care to amass a big fortune like some
of the money kings Of the country,
but he wants to get what he can.
When asked why he continued to shine
shoes after becoming well to do, he
replied, ITO make another fortune.
Shartle will not tell what he is worth,
but it is stated in his home city that
he has $1,000 for every year Of his
life He Is 81 years old. His money
is invested in real estate, from which
he receives a good return. He was

THE WISE

Man does not wait for the word Of the
seer or prophet, but decides each issue
for himself in his own individual af-
fairs. The man who does this knows
how to fit himself to circumstances and
requirements Of the times and compel
prosperity and success. There is a
good reason in grasping the opportu-
nifty if we would hope to accomplish
things worth while.
