AN APPEAL TO BANKERS.

In an address to Illinois bankers.
b. +. Harris spoke OF things that
should be uppermost in the minds of
all business men. The essence of
his speech is contained IN the words:
The man who devotes all his time
TO the accumulation of property,
Istraddling or evading vital questions.
absorbing everything he touches. is
little better than the man who goes
wrong for his selfishness makes the
other possible
And Yet. the trend OF the age is
toward over-commercialism. A
premium is being placed on ratings
in Dunn or Bradstreet rather than on
character. The man who makes
the money is the man who makes the
name. Shrewdness in eluding justice
lis a developing mania"
Tho address by Mr. Harris was
timely Illinois is unfortunate in hay
ing 10 laws supervising the state
banks Anyone who has a few sur
plus dollars may start bank. There
lis 10 direct check on that individual
by the state. An appeal to the ideals
OF Illinois bankers is probably the
better method of reaching them In
this way proper legislation might be
directed to the banking laws of the

FARMERS WEEK.

A few days after the Christmas
holidays are over, Farmers Week will
begin at the University OF Missouri
and farmers from this state and neigh
boring states will come here to get
new points on their work
agriculture will be given, papers will
be read, and there will be discussions
on topics of interest and value to
farmers. These talks will be given
by men who have specialized in the
lines they will talk about. The im-
portance of this convention to the Uni
versity and to the state cannot be
orer-emphasized This is one way in
which the metho" and farm dis
coveries and improvements at the
University of Missouri are given to
farmers.
These farmers see the work done
at the University and get the benefit
of the experiments conducted here.
The topics discussed during Farmers
Week are of practical value and in
terest to every farmer in the state.
Modern methods of agriculture are ey.
planned and demonstrated. and prob
lens of the individual farmer are
solved.
The attendance this year is en-
pected to reach 1000. However. if
the Importance and benefit to be de-
rived from this trip to Columbia were
fully appreciated, there would not be
room in the town to house those who
would come. for there is scarcely
farmer in Missouri who would not
get some valuable ideas and be bene-
fited by attending the Farmers Week
convention.

CHRISTMAS misunderstood

Christmas is as much misunder-
stood as it is misrepresented. From
the observance of the day as an an
nual time to eat to true appreciation
of its significance in relation to the
Son of Man, are types of this holiday.
With the trend of commercialism en-
tering as factor, the day is in dam
ger of losing its original character.
Christmas can not, in the very ma
ture of things, mean the same to all
people. 1t can only approximate an
ideal through bringing folk to a proper
appreciation OF each other. 1t can
only partly do this. AS long as sci
fishness exists abnormally in an indi-
yidual, the day will always mean use
less expenditure for slight reward.
What is inherent in the observance
Ol SuElS lllldS W CduSC d uNlfSl Sd dp-
peal? Surely it is the desire to en-
ulate the character OF the Nazarene
Surely it is the development OF a for
getfulness of self, a true regard for
the interests of others. 1t is an ap-
plication of the doctrine of the broth
erhood OF man. For these things do
people make gifts and try, if only
in a small way, to lift burden from
the shoulders OF others; to cheer the
downcast and hisheartened; to en-
courage the failing and weak. There
is a definite function for such a day

REPRESENTATIVE WILSON
DENIES BRIBERY CHARGE

WASHINGTON, Dec. Robert l.,
Wilson, state representative of Illinois,
today denied that he had given money
or anything of value to any member
Of the general assembly of that state,
either to influence or to pay for a
vote for William Lorimer for United
States senator.
Wilson appeared before the senate
subcommittee in response to a sub
poena. He said he had gone to St.
Louis in June, 1909 not to distribute
money to southern Illinois Democrats
in return for their votes for Lorimer,
but to arrange a banquet to be given
in honor of Lee O'Neil Browne, DEM
ocratic leader.
Mr.. Wilson, under question of At
torney Austrian. said he could not
remember what had been said in the
room of the st. Louis hotel when he
met Representative Shepard, The tes-
timony of Representative Beckemeyer,
however, that he had given them
packages" was not true, said the wit
ness.
The testimony of Representative
Wilson concluded the examination of
the committee. Senator Burrows,
chairman, called an executive session
of the subcommittee and the COM
mittee will endeaVor to formulate its
report within the next two weeks.

POWER COMPANIES PROPERTY

The most striking feature of today S
session, of the board was brought out
when the power companies, through
John A. Britton of San Francisco, pre-
sented the magnitude of the property
owned and operated by these COM
panies in this state.
In other sections of the country tho
ownership extends simply through one
or two counties and will not reach
more than short distance. There is
no precedence to be found in these for
assessments to be made in California.
In this state the watersheds, reser-
voirs, power houses, lines, etc, extend
hundreds of miles and through several
counties. This complicates matters
and brings the board to new order
of things.
1t is the intention of the state board
to treat these companies in the same
manner that railways were treated
when 1t was found that through build
ing of long lines of road and merging
of companies these had gone beyond
the stage where county taxation was
all that was needed to receive just re-
turns. The power companies will be
treated as a new factor, given fair
consideration and 1t is thought by
members of the board that a satlsfac-
tory and safe assessment will be ar
ranged.
Prof. Plehn and Senator Curtin will
take the revised bill after the board is
through with suggestions and will then
put it into shape. Another call will
then be made for a conference and at
this meeting final action will be taken.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. Taking advan-
take of the fog. two small gasoline
schooners from Mazatlan. Mexico,
slipped past the revenue cutter Bear
off the coast a short distance north
of San Diego, landed thirty-two
Chinese and vanished. So did the
Chinese. The landing was effected
Monday night, according to informa-
tion given out this morning, and as
far as known the local immigration
officers have not captured the CONTRA
band aliens.
The cutter Bear for some time has
been cruising up and down the coast
near this port, looking, it is said, for
the two boats with their human car
goes. Information was received that
the boats had left Mazatlan and the
date of their probable arrival off tins
coast was computed.
Every effort has been made to sup
press the facts in the case and at the
immigration office no information was
obtainable today. 1t is known, how
ever. that a determined hunt is being
made for the smuggled Chinese. Ihe
landing was effected through the surf
between La Jolla. San Diego's fash
ionabIe seaside suburb. and Del Mar.
Monday night heavy fog hung
over the ocean and land, making con-
ditions ideal for the smugglers. Most
of the contra band Chinese are believed
to have made their way to Los An
peles nv this time. or else are in hid
ing awaiting favorable opportunity to

AIRBRAKE IDEA RESULTED
FROM WRECK, INVENTOR SAYS
Westinghouse Tells How He De-
ViSed Great Plan

NEW YORK, Dec. I'm his annual
address to the Society of Mechanical
Engineers, George Westinghouse, pres
ident of the society, told how he in
vented the airbrako last night. He
said
MY first idea Of braking apparatus
10 be applied to all of the cars of
train came to me one day when a
train upon which I was a passenger
was delayed a couple of hours by a
collision. My first notion was to con-
meet the brake levers of each car to
its draught gear so that an applica-
tion of the brakes to the locomotive,
which would cause the cars to close
up toward the engine would thereby
apply a braking force through the
couplers and levers to the wheels of
each car.
a while later, l read I'm a popular
magazine of the tunneling OF Mount
Gents by machinery driven by COM
pressed air conveyed through 5000 feet
of pipes. This convinced me that a
brake apparatus could he operated by
compressed air upon any length of
train.
In 1868 a crude apparatus embody-
ing my idea was put on a train of the
old Panhandle railroad. On the very
first run horse and wagon were
standing across the track when the
train thundered out of the tunnel near
the Union station in Pittsburg. The
new brake averted an accident

WITNESS REFUSES TO TALK
Associated Press1

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.--As chairman
of the Jockey club and leader of the
racing interests in New York state
during the years when this sport was
under the hottest legislative fire, Au-
gust Belmont was asked today to fur-
nish the missing links in the chain of
evidence adduced from minor oiflcers
of various racing organizations by the
committee that is seeking proof of leg
islative corruption,
MIR. Belmont was recalled at his own
request, but after he had carried out
his purpose by emphatically denying
any implication that he was concerned
in alleged questionable opposition TO
the race bills he was obliged to with
stand a fire of questions by Lynn
Bruce, attorney for the committee.
At the end of an hour Mr.. Belmont
absolutely refused to testify further.
He declared that Judge Bruce's ques-
tions were not asked in good faith,
but for the purpose Of confusing him
and leading him into a misstatement,
The committees attorney said he had
no such purpose, and not only sus-
pended his examination. but told the
witness he would have the opportunity
to look over his testimony and make
any corrections he might desire.
Mr.. Belmont added little to the in
formation already gathered.
Generally the questions were de-
signed to interpret former statements
made by treasurers and secretaries of
racing clubs, who had been able to tell
the committee what sums they expend-
cd and when they spent them, but
failed when it came to a question:
What for?" Mr.. Belmont was asked
to give a more itemized explanation of
the expenses which the former had
said were incurred for legal" or pub
licity' purposes.

MRS. EDDY'S WILL MAKES
wv MENTION OF RELATIVES
Services to Be Held at Chestnut
Hill Home Today

BOSTON, Dec. THAT Mrs. Mary
Baker Glover Eddy, head of the Chris
tian Science church, left none of her
estate, estimated at nearly S2,000,000
to relatives was gathered from a re-
mark made tonight by Judge Clifford
p. Smith, first reader Of the mother
church.
Mrs. Eddy's will is not to be read
tomorrow, as it contains absolutely
nothing that would be of any interest
to members of her family" said Mr..
Smith.
He made no statement as to the por-
ton of the estate which may go to the
church.
Three years ago at the time of tho
suit by her so-called next friends
Mrs Eddy set aside trust fund of
$4,000 for the benefit of the three
children of her son, George w. Glover
in Lead, S. D., while later in Novem-
ber. 1909, she made complete settle
ment with her heirs with the UNDER
standing, it was believed, there should
be no contest over her will.
At this time the trust fund was in
creased to $175,O0O and a settlement
was made upon other heirs approrxi-
mating $225,000.
Since the death of Mrs. Eddy her
son. George w. Glover, has said he
would not contest the will.
Judge Smith, who will have charge
of the funeral services tomorrow said
tonight that the casket will not be
opened during the services, it being
preferred to remember Mrs. Eddy as
in life.
The services will occupy only half
an hour and will be held in the draw
ing room of the Chestnut Hill home
Judge Smith will open with the read
ing from the Bible, followed by a Sc
lection from Science and Health"
All present will be asked to join in
silent prayer, after which the Lord S
prayer will be repeated in unison.

WILL invoke LAW
FOR FRUIT RATES
TranscontinentaI Lines Refuse
Request of California De-
Ciduous Growers
Associated Press,

STOCKTON, Dec. Freight rates
was the principal topic of discussion at
the state fruit growers convention
here this morning. The report of the
committee on that subject was pre-
sented by it's chairman, r. d. Stephens
of Sacramento, the other members Of
the committee being NJ. e, Angler of
Lodi and c. NJ. Hartley of Vacaville.
The report contained a letter from r.
p. Countiss, agent of the transcontin-
entail bureau in Chicago, dated June
last and announcing that the request
of the committee for the same rate on
deciduous fruit as is granted on ship
ments of citrus fruit was given careful
consideration by the representatives of
the interested transcontinental lines,
but they could not see their way clear
at this time to make any change in the
current rates.
THE result" says the committee re-
port, proves conelusively that it will
be useless to continue to struggle along
the lines pursued in the past-that is,
reasoning based on faCts-and If relief
is to come it must be through the law
governing such matters, and we rec
ommend that the law be invoked with
as little delay as possible"
The matter will be further consid-
cred during a later session of the con-
vention.
The delegates to the convention to-
night were given a reception and en-
tertainment at Masonic hall as a re-
Taxation from the discussions and ad
dresses of the past two days. The
chief address of the afternoon was
given by George A. Hussman of Wash
ington, d. c., who spoke on New Va
rieties of Grapes and Adaptability of
the Grape in California" E. II. Keisel
Of Sacramento, George r. Robertson,
Of Fresno, Frank Sweet of Martinez
and M. f. Angler also delivered adj
dresses in the afternoon. Judge C. w.
Norton of Stockton in a discussion of
a paper presented many new features
connected with grapes in San Joaquin
county.
