In the interior of Costa Rica. Like San

plateau. all above the level reached by
the dense growths of the tropics.
The two cities are between fifteen and
twenty miles apart. San Jose is about
400 feet above sea level and Carriage,
at an altitude Of 600 feet, stands prac-

of Mount Irazu.
Cartago Is twenty miles distant from

Mt. Irazu towers 1850 feet above the

both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans from
Its crest. The crater Of the volcano Is
1000 feet lower than the mountain top

Mt. Irazu is described as a higher vol

Mr.. Marsh declared. however. that all
the older residents of Costa RIGA believed
Mt. Irazu 20 be extinct since it had re-

A year ago, and most likely until the
disaster of Wednesday night, the sides
of Mt. Irazu were under close cultivation

souls. The Costa Ricans. however. have
the custom OF making one house suffice
sometimes for many families.

population Of the city at about 5000

MANY SEE THE COMET
WASHINGT0NIANS ENJOY SIGHT
IN THE SKIES.
After May 20, For Two Weeks, It
Will Be Visible Early
In the Evening. i. :.

Another superb view OF Halley's comet
was afforded Washingtonians this morn
ing, and, if anything, II was more bril-
liant than it was in the possibly clearer
atmosphere OF Thursday morning. All
sorts OF arrangements for extra early ris-
ing were made in scores OF homes in
Washington this morning. and between
the hours of 2:30 and $3.50 there was a
veritable CHORUS of alarm clocks jingline,
while hundreds of folks hurried into semi
winter dress and made tracks through
busting March brsezes of the May
morning toward the nearest hills and
housetops, whence unobstructed views
might be had Of the eastern horizon.
Promptly on schedule time the fan"
of light, which Is thrown high in space
by Halley's high-speed stellar express,
made it's appearance above the convex
rim of the earth and all other planets
and stars on the same track had ample
warning to take to the nearest siding,
while the band of humans looked and
looked. There was no conjunction Of the
moon, Venus and comet this morning,
because the moon had rambled round on
the other side Of things, and in the alb
sence of this additional refiec ing ! ght
in the east the comet and Venus shone
out with particular briiliance.
Visible Until Sunrise.
The two were visible until the bright.
err light OF the rising sun put them
out of business. Both will
be back on the old stand tomorrow
morning. however, and 50 it will con-
tinue until May IS, when Halley's
racer takes trip across the face OF
the sun. After May 20, for about a
until its journey carries it

Alleged Misdeeds of F. Angus
tus Heinze.
MANIPULATION OF FUNDS
Disqualification Charged Against
Bank President.
CHECKING DIVIDEND ACCOUNT
John p. Fernsler Resumes Testi-
mony at Trial Of Accused Man
in New York.

NEW YORK. May 6.-John P. Fernsler,
the expert accountant, was again on the
witness stand today when, in the United
States circuit court, the trial was resumed
of f. Augustus Heinze for the alleged
misapplication of funds of the Mercan-
tile National Bank in 1907, when he was
president Of the bank. and Decentralization
of checks Of his brothers firm. In his
testimony yesterday afternoon Fernsler
described methods in which the United
Copper dividends had been paid. largely.
he claimed, by means of loans taken out
to he repaid when the insiders turned
back their dividend money to the Heinze
coterie.
The witness today described the
manner, as alleged, in which the COM
pany had financed itself for the pay
ment of the dividends. His testimony
was fortified by blue print chart or
tabulatiOn made up, he said, from eX-
animation of the company's books, the
banks books, the dividend checks ana
other documents.
Operations in January.
The January operations according to
Mr.. Fernsler's testimony, were these:
On January 26, 1907, wnen the United
copper had quarterly dividend fall
ing due that company had a balance
OF less than $4,000.
Here Max H. Schultze of Otto Heinze &
Co. stepped in and borrowed $6OOVo from
the Mercantile National Bank. adding to
this check OF $1D.OUO from A f.
HeinZe making a total OF N2,OOO as
available for dividend payments. Then
began a system of exchange of checks
TIN Ough the subsidiary concerns OF the
United Copper Company. the Montana
Ore Purchasing Company, the Belmont
Mining Company, the Nlpper Consolidated
Company. the Cora Rock Island Mn
ing Company, and the Minnie Healy
Mining Company. These travels
rernsIe laced unlu ,IIe suul Was
brought home to Max III. Schultze's ac-
count in the Mercantile National Bank.
Effect of the Method.
This method, he testified. resulted in
giving the subsidiaries banking credits
and enabled the United Copper Company
20 pay 81, Or, 600 in dividends. OF the divi-
dend payments but sa55.O0O went to the
holders of United Copper outside of the
Heinze family. The Heinzes and their
dummy holders, clerks in the employ Of
the Heinzes, according to Fernsler, on re-
ceiying the dividend checks Endorsed them
back to Max HI. SchultZe, who deposited
them in the Mercantile National Bank to
his account.
Then Schultze, as in April and August
of the same year, as testified to yester-
day. discharged the $6Oo,O loan.

Today was bright and sunny, and be-

in front of the palace in the vicinity Of
the new memorial Victoria building. and
many carriages gathered in St James

How Morgan Voted.

Dick Morgan's Democratic opponent
has charged him with being stand
natter. but thus far has made a dismal
failure Of his campaign villification.
His charge that Mr.. Morgan was a
Cannon man also has fallen fat. Mr..
Morgan in his speeches showed that he
voted against Cannon for speaker in
the caucus. but Cannon got the most
votes, and rather than vote for Dem
ocrat be cast his vote with the rest OF
his colleagues for the Republican eau
Gus nominee.
In the same way Mr.. Morgan showed
that his opponent was also misleading
the people by declaring that he was
against free lumber. He produced the
Congressional Record and showed that
he had voted for free lumber on five
different occasions during the tariff
debates in the House, and that he
worked in season and out Of season
for free lumber, and that the Demo-
Gratis themselves, those bsiling from
the timber states Of the south, voted
against free lumber, although their
party had expressly promised free lum-
ber to the people IL given the power.
Mr.. Morgan showed that the Demo-
crats did no fighting whatever for a
revenue only tariff, which they pre-.
tended TO favor on the stump. Not
only that, but Democratic Senators
supported and proposed some of the
most outrageous rates. For example,
a protective tariff on tea because South
Carolina produces a few pounds Of
that beverage. II the Democrats be-
lieyed in a revenue only tariff way not
present such a bill and vote for it?
Not one of them offered a revenue
oply tariff bill yet it was their duty
to do so as minority measure, if they
all believed il. It is all i'm the record
and no campaign hypocrisy as used by
Mr.. Fulton can wipe it out, is the
Morgan ides.

THE PHILADELPHIA STRIKE.

"The greatest ethical Influence in
the world to-day, is whata prominent
trades, ,unionist calls " the sympathetic
strike" Shoulder to shoulder the al
lied forces stand to support each other.
If the carmen of Philadelphia demand
certain concessions from their em.
ployers, and if a refusal precipitates a
strike, then call out all the other UNI
ions, and make the strike general, is
what they say. 1t is Of no consequence
that the sympaJhizers have no griev-
ances OF their own, and that they and
their employers have no quarrel, or
that wages are good and hours salts
factory. All this is lost sight of.
1t this is ethical, then the term has
a new meaning. Consider what it
means to Philadelphia, for example,
for SO, 400 persons to cease labor. AL
lowing three persons to family, 49,
200 individuals will be directly affected
by the strike. In spite of the close
organization OF the unions, IL is with
difficulty that they will provide food
for this immense army. Women and
children must inevitably suffer. Now
extend the view to all those people
whose lives are affected because the
price of food is increased, because they
are unable to get to business, because
work is stopped on the building which
they have contracted to complete at
certain time, and because, in general,
the normal flow of events has been
rudely impeded. From this point of
view, the sympathetic strike is the
most unethical thing in the world

LAST October the question of voting
a large sum to pay the 81, 900 month
commissioners who were reappraiSing
the railroad property in this state was
so urgent that there were threats of an
extra session to provide the means. but
during the last six months these gen.
tlemen have apparently been forgotten.
Their report, which was submitted to
the governor when their $4,000 ap-
preparation. was exhausted, has never
been submitted to the legislature and
the commission seems to have been
dissipated. If they did not increase
valuations materially they would not
justify their appointment. If they did
report higher valuations their report
would have no effect because the rail-
road assessors are the only persons
who are authorized by law TO value the
railroad property for assessment. If
the railroad assessors attempted to
follow any increase that may be sug-
gested by the reappraisement com
mission they would be up against the
supreme court, which has already de-
cided that the present valuation made
by the assessors is TOO high. The state
assessors report, made five months
ago, showed 1921, PA, 15S of listed rail-
road property and the tax levied on il
was $5, ,0SS,3454 43.
