CARDINAL GIBBONS SEES
PERIL IN WEALTH LUST
Fears America Is Approaching Con-

Decadence.

NEW YORK, August 6.-Cardinal Glib
bons sat on the spacious veranda of a
Long Island country house this after
noon, and watching the automobiles fit
down the road before him in one unend-
ing stream noralized on the dangers Of
self-indulgence that have beset all re-
publics.
II think" he said, I'VE are closely ap-
preaching the age of extravaganza and
inordinate pleasure enjoyed by Rome just
before her fall. The cry of today is for
more and more riches. The rich man is
greedy for more. 1t is the same with the
well-to-do. It is the same everywhere.
Truly we have many generous ones
among the rich, but I could wish that
more of them were considerate of the I'M
fortunate. This great desire for riches
is making people very selfish. Then there
is the desire for inordinate pleasures"
An automobile whirled by in cloud of
dust. The cardinal pointed after 1t and
asked. You see we have many more
channels of pleasure than were known to
the patricians Of Augustus Caesars
time: yet there is desire for new pleas
ures and more pleasures
Il believe the gospel of Christ will save
the present situation There was no
Christ, you remember, to save Rome"

GIRL, LEFT ON PIER, SEES
SHIP BEAR FATHER AWAY
Parent Had Her Ticket, and Young
Woman Was Unable to Board
Atlantic Liner.

NEW YORK, August 6.-Margaret Cole
man, eighteen years old, daughter of
James Coleman of Los Angeles, Cal,
had to stand on the pier today and watch
the steamer Baltic, which she had vainly'
tried to board and on which her father
was a passenger, fade into the distance
down the bay and steam on for Europe,
leaving her alone on this side.
Miss Coleman's ticket was in her IA
theirs possession on board the steamer.
She remained on the pier until just as
the gang plank was about to be pulled in
and then, as she could not show the
ticket, the steamer pulled out into the
stream without her, her father all the
while thinking she was safely in her
cabin. Friends promptly offered $50 for
tug to follow the liner and place her
aboard, but this plan was vetoed on the
ground that it would be dangerous for
her to try to board the steamer.
Mr.. Coleman will be communicated
with by wireless and Miss Coleman will
remain here with friends until the next
steamer sails.

OF Sheriff Smith of this county in the
effort to find Yamagach. the japanese

recognize the man on sight. Sheriff
Smith started today on a statewide
search of the Japanese settlements and
the boy will go with him as a duly quail

TESTS FOR NAVAL OFFICERS.
Surgeon General Stokes Has Worked
Out a New Plan.

Surgeon General Stokes Of the navy will
shortly present to the Navy Department
a plan for physical tests for officers Of
the Navy and Marine Corps. which is ex
pected to follow closely the physical or
der which Maj Gen. Leonard Wood. chief
of staff Of the army, recently laid down
for the land forces.
Surgeon General Stokes order will
probably accomplish what was intended
by the physical test order which origi-
mated In the administration Of President
Roosevelt. The existing requirements, it
is said, are resented by some officers. The
new order will probably put the question
up to the officers themselves and make
their commanders see to 1t that they are
in condition for war at all times.
In the meantime some scientific fnves-
LEGATIONS on the subject OF exercise are
being made. An officer Of the Navy

has been instructed to study the Swedish

ALASKAN COAL VALUE.
Better Than Eastern Product at Half
Cent q Ton in Ground.

Accessible coal Of the best Alaskan
fields-even at half a cent ton in ground
is worth more than most OF the coal
lands in the eastern states. notwithstand-
ing their nearness to lines Of transporta-
ton and to market. This statement Is
contained in a bulletin issued today by
the geological survey, under direction Of
George Otis Smith.
During the BallingerPinchot investiga-
ton A. II. Brooks Of the geological sur
vey testified that the accessible coal in
the Boring river and Matamuska was
worth half a cent a ton in the ground.
This ,small figure created the impression
in the minds Of many people that the
Alaska coal lands were of small value.
The bulletin just issued says that priced
at the rate named by Mr.. Brooks, the
best Alaska coal lands are worth from
$50 to $500 an acre, values far above
the average price Of bituminous lands in
the United States.
Speaking Of the influences which have
held back the development of the Alaskan
coal lands. the statement says the most
serious handicap has been the coal land
laws Though laws intended to enable
the individual to obtain title to coal lands
have been on the statute books for the
last decade. not an acre Of land has
gone to patent.

With Verbal Shots.

tie, but the battle was one Of words and
the verbal shrapnel was hurled a distance
of one mile, Watson and his adherents
gathering in the courthouse, while the
HardHick cohorts sweltered In q quiet
grove on. the outskirts Of the town. In
spite Of Mr.. Watson's announced fear Of
assassination. there was peace in the lit
tie town throughout the day. and pros
poets of trouble tonight dwindled to
nothing.
Both speakers were bitterly personal
in their remarks. Mr.. Hardwick injected
the only new feature in the controversy
in the shape Of a letter from Represen-
tative Charles H. Burke of South Dako-
ia, in which he charges that Watson
in the summer Of 1900 conferred with
him and other prominent republicans Of
South Dakota at the Palmer House, Chi
cago, in reference to aiding the republi-
can party in South Dakota for a financial
consideration. Mr.. Burke's letter said
that no arrangements were made with
Watson for South Dakota but declared
that Watson did arrange with the late
Senator Hanna to assist the republican
casue.
Mr. Watson emphatically denied Repre-
sentative Burke's charges, and said he
was not in Chicago In 1900.
