ClSCOVERER OF UNTOLD
 WEALTH HERE
Young Perrin, Who Spent Several Fortunes, Secured Another at Fathers Death, Has Been in Mad House, Arrives from Eu- rope Today Wife Re- gently Committed Suicide
Especial from United Press.


 New York, Jan. 19.-Among the pas sengers who arrived yesterday on board the steamer Berlin from Genoa, Naples and Gibraltar, was Lawrence Perrin, of Baltimore, Philadelphia. New York and Europe, whose queer antics in Spain and Morocco caused his relatives much concern.
 In Spain Perrin announced that he had discovered "untold wealth" in an old Moorish palace. He was accom- panied back to America by relatives who went to Europe after his queer antics were reported.
 After his report of the gold in the Moorish palace he is said to have ere ated scene in the Hotel Regina in Ronda, where he is said to have run amuck with loaded revolver. Perrin has led an adventurous life and has once been confined in mad house. He eloped on Aug. 29 1904, with Miss Jane Gordon Sartori of Phil adelphia, a sister of the present Mrs. Julian Story. MT. and Mrs. Story aid- ed in bringing young Perrin back to America.
 Mrs. Perrin committed suicide Sep tember 10, of last year. at the home of her sister, Mrs. Ackroyd, at Harrow on-the-Hill in London. It is said troubles with her husband and despon- dency caused the suicide. Young Perrin went abroad at the time and this is his first return to Amer ica.
 On May 16, 1908, Perrin was commit ted to an insane asylum in Providence, R. I. Previous to that he had, in January 1903 been sent to the McLane Asylum in Boston. He escaped from there.
 Young Perrin has gone through sev- eral fortunes, it is said, and secured another great fortune at the death of his father. Later he managed to se- cure his release from the Providence asylum and has divided his time be- tween New York, Baltimore and the Continent

Victor Mora Witz, author of "The Banking and Currency Problem, con- tributes to the North American Re-
 view an article in which he takes ex-
 ception to the Aldrich scheme of a great central bank. He declares that
 mo act of Congress could create the
 conditions, the customs and the tra- ditions which in foreign countries have
 made central banks safe and service able institutions In addition he fears that sooner or later the bank
 would become a political prize or fall
 under the control of some powerful syndicate-for instance, we might say, the so-called Morton Money Trust
 which is said to control some thirty five billions of corporate capital. MT. Morawitz' plan is:
 The national banks in the several sections of the country should be au- thorized to unite in forming sectional through stock ownership, each bank depositing part of it's reserves in the sectional reserve bank of which it is a member. The sectional reserve banks, of course, should be required to keep ample reserves of lawful money and should engage only in the
 safest kind of business The national banks, or the sectional re-
 serve banks formed by them, should be authorized to form a note-issue as-
 sociation and to elect a central board
 or committee having power from time to time, with the consent of the sec
 retary of the treasury, to increase or reduce according to the needs of
 changing conditions the volume of un- covered bank-nOte currency which the
 banks throughout the country may
 have outstanding. By increas-
 ing the required percentage of the
 note-redemption funds the expansion
 of bank credits in the aggregate could be checked. By reducing the re-
 quired percentage the banks would be
 enabled to meet a demand for more
 circulating currency without drawing
 upon their reserves against deposit lia- bilitieS.

enormous saving to life insura> .2e companies. The life insurance pre\ dents, as a result of the suggestion, have appointed a committee on "Hu4 man Life Extension. In the mean time the Metropolitan, the Prevalent Savings Life Assurance Company and the New York Life Insurance Com pany have made special efforts to preserve the health of their policy ohlders.
 Of all the results thus far accom- plished, the setting in motion of this great commercial interest on the side of health and longevity, is most im- pOrtant.
 But the chief aim of the Committee of One Hundred has been aside from direct education of the public or en- listing the cooperation of life insur- ance companies: It has aimed still higher-at the National Government itself. Just as the Department of Agriculture has revolutionized the science of farming, so a Bureau of Health may revolutionize the science of human life.
 There are still people who do not seem to realize that one of the chief effects of a strong Federal Health Of flee will be not to decrease, but to increase the activity of the state and municipal Boards of Health. In fact, one of the purposes of a bill before Congress is to enable the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service to training of State and Federal health officers. The ground work for public health legislation has already been laid through the formal endorsement of the movement by President Taft's predecessor, numerous congressman, the governors of states, State Legis- latures, labor organizations, the Ma G,or1 ivc organizations, such as the Associat- ed Fraternities of America, medical and sanitary associations, such as the American Medical Association, Amer ican Public Health Association and a score of other patriotic societies, such as the National Municipal League and some chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The entire membership of the associations which have passed resolutions favoring the objects of the Committee of One Hun dred, is upward of two millions.
 Still more important is the polit- ical endorsement which has been re- ceived. The Ohio State Legislature passed a special resolution favoring the establishment of a National Bu- reau of Health The party platforms of some states, Ohio, Delaware and Connecticut, contained blanks favoring such legislation and to crown all the national platforms of the Repupllcan Democratic and Independence League Parties contained health blanks, as recommended by the committee and it's allies.
 President Roosevelt advocated pub- lie health legislation in two of his messages to Congress-. President Taft has not alone endorsed the work of the Committee but he has also af- forded in his last message to Congress the strongest public health recon mendation in the history of the coun- try and he has intimated that he would later send special message to Congress on the same subject. When this is done, it will be "up to Con- gress.''
 The officers of the committee are President, Prof. Irving Fisher, New Haven, Conn.,; Secretary Edward T. Devine, New York; Treasurer Title Guarantee and Trust (Co) New York.

PARTNER IN REALTY
 FIRM WINS OUT James A. Pease, Local Real Estate Man, Directed to Pay $1,363 to CaSivnar .T Ohaphack

Casimer J. Oberbeck has won out in his suit against James A. Pease, the local real estate man, the jury which had been sitting since Thurs day awarding him damages amount ing to $1,363.02. Both men were partners in the real estate business under the name of James A. Pease & Go. In July, 1909, they dissolved partnership. The plaintiff claimed by the terms of the dissolution that he was to receive $1,200, some of the office furniture and the agency for the New Brunswick Fire Insurance company. PeaseS defense was that Oberbeck as bookkeeper for the firm was negligent in his duties. That he represented to MT. Pease that the debts of the firm were $1,500, when as a matter of fact they were some thing like $4,300. He denies that there was an agreement to turn over $1,20O.

WAR VESSELS ON
 THE GREAT LAKES.

The number of war vessels to be maintained on the Great Lakes is a problem which may become acute at any time and require the serious con- sideration of this government. It is one of the matters which is likely to confront Secretary Knox and require some clever handling if he remain at the head of the department of state for any considerable length of time. Popular Mechanics for February con- tains an interesting discussion of this questions. It says
 Canada now has but one war ves- sel on all the Great Lakes, and this is said to be unarmed, while the United States has six armed vessels and three disarmed. Altogether these have more than 50 guns, with a force of about 2,000 men. So far as condi- tions are today, in case of a sudden row, the United States could abso- lutely dominate the Great Lakes"

COLD sTORAGE-HIGH PRICES

It has long been reported that among
 he many activities of the Beef Trust
 is the manipulation of the egg and
 butter markets by means of cold stor- age. With possibility of keeping these articles of food almost indefin- itely it is comparatively easy to force prices up by withholding supplies and thus causing a scarcity. The working plan is to buy eggs in the spring when they are plentiful and cheap, and but ter in the summer when it also is plentiful and cheap, and to place them in cold storage until fall and winter when prices naturally advance. and then to force prices still higher by withholding these products from the l, market. As the East does not pro-
 dlSce enough for its own wants the game Is entirely in the hands of these market manipulators. A similar pol icy prevails in other food products, with similar results.
 City Attorney Anderson of St. Louis has constructed an ordinance provid- ing that persons or corporations en- gagged in the cold-storage business shall be punished if they keep game, poultry. eggs, meat or vegetables for longer period than five months, and his argument is. in substance. that 1 long-term storage not only tends to increase prices to consumers but also affects the general health, for the req
 son that food deteriorates when kept too long. "The cold-stogare ware
 houses in St. Louis." he says, ''are
 filled now with meats and food pro- ducts that were bought months ago,
 when prices ruled extremely low, and
 they are held now until prices are ex-
 orbitant and are fixed by the Meat
 Trust, and food that is really inferior
 in quality. is sold at such prices as
 the packers and storage men see fit to
 fix''
 The remedy proposed by MT. Ander-
 son may lessen the evils complained
 of. but it cannot eradicate them. Five
 month periods would often suffice to
 carry products from low to high prices
 in natural way, and they might aid
 speculation somewhat. though not so
 greatly as at present.
