MAKING PEARLS
Will Soon Be As Plentiful as
the Park Row Collar
Button

New York. Sept 30-The existence
of a secret method of making pearls,
which if disclosed would make them
as plentiful and as cheap as the Park
Row collar button, was told today by
Prof. Bashford Dean Of Columbia uni
versity to the American Fisheries
society in session here.
I'm a little harbor south Of Toxic.
Japan, there has been produced sue
cessfully by a secret process, pearls
that are of the finest type" said Prof.
Dean. when l was at the Univer-
sity of Japan, the emperor of Japan
himself opened these oysters and took
therefrom this new pearl 1 now ex-
hibit, SO there is no doubt about the
genuine success of this experiment.
But the secret has been withheld
from the emperor, otherwise the whole
of the pearl industry would be revo-
lutionized. DIR. N. Nishikawa. grad
uate of the University Of Toxic. dis
covered the process and left his Sc
cret to his father-in-law, Mikemoto,
one of the most famous pearl raisers
of Japan. l surmise that the pearl
is former by introducing scientifically
piece of mother of pearl into the
shell. around which the pearl is form
ed, taking the place of the worm
which nature uses to form the core
of the naturally grown pearl"

Wahlenmeyer demanded an audience

man, who was the first person encoun-
tered, summoned the police. Mrs.
Palmer was at home at the time and
the whole household was thrown into
excitement by the proximity of death
or injury from the bomb. Wahlen-
meyer was questioned for hours by
the police but refused to explain his
motive. The police announced that
they, would question Mrs. Palmer in

fort to discover the mans reason for
the act. 1t is believed Wahlenmeyer
is not insane.

BROKE AMERICAN

Brookins' Flight Yesterday Set
New Mark on Long Dis,
tance Flight

Springfield, ILL.,. Sept. 3O.-Aviator
Walter Brookins alighted gracefully
in the fair grounds here at 4:27
o'clock yesterday afternoon, hours,
12 minutes out from Chicago, after
having sailed his Wright biplane the
1922 miles with two stops. They
were at Gilman, Ill.,, eighty miles
from Chicago, at 1880 o'clock, and at
Mt. Pulaski, ILL.,, 1876 miles from Chi
cago, at 1920 o'clock. The first stop
was for water, oil and gasoline; the
second for the same, and because his
pump had broken and the engine be-
came hot.
Brookins in his long sail broke the
American long distance continued
flight record, and thereby won the
$4,000 prize offered by the Chicago
Record-Herald, which conducted the
attempt.
In both places where Brookins
alighted crowds gathered to stare at
the man that flew through the air.
Farmers, tradesmen and residents
rushed from their fields, shops and
homes and fed headlong to see what
an aeroplane looked like at short
range.

ORIGIN OF THE
BANKING SYSTEM
An Interesting and Important
Treatise Prepared on This
Historic Subject

Washington, Sept. 30.-The nation
al monetary commission has just is
sued volume entitled "The Origin
and Evolution of the National Bank
ing System" This book, the work of
Andrew Mcfarland Davis, the we'll
known historian, embodies the results
of study from original manuscripts
of the motives which led to the estab-
lishment of our national banking sys-
tenn.
The origin of the sytem according
to the author, is probably found in
the same germ from which came, in
1868, the New York free banking"
law. This permitted the banks of
that state to issue notes secured by
the deposit of state bonds. The sue
cess of this system, also adopted by
a number of other states, naturally
attracted the attention of the man
whose insistence, the author believes,
finally brought about the passage of
the national banking law.
Salmon P Chase, Lincoln's secre-
tary of the treasury, said:
The first proposition on record
which can be quoted as suggestive of
a national banking system other than
that of a central national bank was
made as early as 1915. A Frenchman
travelling in this country from south
to north experienced loss and dis
comfort from the depreciation of the
bank notes into which he had con-
verted his funds. He found that these
conditions increased as he journeyed
farther from the place where the
notes were emitted. His trials fur
nished the foundation for an article
which was published in Philadelphia
in the Analetic magazine, in which
article relief was suggested for this
state of affairs through uniform
currency which might be based upon
United States stocks, the use Of which
for this purpose would, as the writer
Of the article phrased it, give "a new
prop to the security of these stocks
by which he probably meant that
their market value would be cor
respondingly increased with this ad-
ditional use. This article was signed
w, and fifty years later a contribu-
tor to the Historical magazine res
cued it from the oblivion of the pages
of the Analetic magazine and re-
published it with the comment that
twenty-three years after its appear
ance New York adopted the plan, and
that when the national banking sys-
tenn was created substantially the
same arguments were used"
In 1860 the country was still with
out a satisfactory circulating medium.
The actual amount of gold in circu-
lation was insignificant. A traveller
would find it almost impracticable to
carry coin and would be forced to
equip himself with. bank notes of
uncertain value. In his memoirs Jay
Cooke estimated that $3.50, 100000 per
annum would not cover the loss to
the people of this country growing
out of broken banks, counterfeits. al
tered notes, and the cost Of exchange
between different points"
Secretary Chase was a hard money
man. His inaugural address as gov
ernor Of Ohio in 1856 makes this
clear: "a sound and sufficient cur

PLEASED WITH LINE
Grand Trunk Pacific Gets . Splendid
y - Compliment

Prince Albert, Sask., Sept. 30
"The most perfect newly constructed
railroad on the continent" was the
comment of Hon. George p. Graham,
minister of railways after a trip of
inspection over the Grand Trunk Pa
cific yesterday from Winnipeg to Sas-
katoon.
"The new railway blazes trail in
construction. Heretofore the system
adopted was to construct as cheaply
as possible, putting the road in a po-
sition of quick earning capacity and
improving as the business warranted"
he said.
Under the government arrangement
the minister aims at making the road
adopt a standard at the beginning
which necessitates unusual cost in
construction.
The grades and curves in the new
railway are perfect now. With the
exception of one "pusher grade" of
twenty miles in the Rockies, the road
Is practically level. The grade
throughout is four-tenths of one per
cent, against eastbound traffic and
six-tenths of one per cent against
west bound traffic, a ruling grade
lower than that of any other rail-
way on the continent. The ruling
grade on the G. T. R. from Montreal to
Toronto is one per cent, which is con-
sidered one of the best in Canada.
The route of the railway is exception
ally straight. The first curve occurs
forty-seven miles west of Winnipeg.

cident, rose to q height Of 1000 feet
and, heading for Springfield, swirled
away from sight, leaving the Illinois

behind.
Brookins reached the fair grounds
eight minutes before the station was
reached by tho Illinois Central fast
special train. He made the dip to

Brookins found some difficulty at
the fair grounds, and although he ar
rived over tho grounds at 4:22 1t was
five minutes later before he could
land.
The crowd surged about him, threat
ening to crush the curious bird ma
chine, till he had to make personal
appeal to get the throng back.
Asked about the flight, Brookins
said:
"Why, it was, nothing only staying

only difference from a practice fight.

FEWER DEATHS
Material Lowering Of Death
Rate During the Last
Official Year !.

Washington. D. c., Sept. 3d.
While the total number, 81,720, Of
deaths from. tuberculosis in 1909 was
greater than for any preceding year
and exceeded by 3,431 the number,
1929, compiled for 1908, the death
rate, in the census hureau's death
registration states and cities, showed
q decline from 1879 in 1908 to 1875
per 100000 estimated population in
ao09, as reported in the forthcoming
msus bureau bulletin on mortality
statistics prepared by DR.. Cressy T..
Wilbur, chief statician for vital sta
.dstics, and submitted to Director
Durand.
The 1909 rate is the lowest on rec
ord for the census registration area,
although it should be remembered
that the rates for this area, to which
large additions were made in 1906,
1908 and 1909, may not be strictly
comparable throughout the period
covered with respect to constitution
Of population. The addition Of the
new registration state Of Ohio for
1909, for example, by bringing in a
considerable rural population with a
normally low death rate from tuber-
culosis, would tend to depress the
death rate from this cause for the
registration area as a whole.
It is remarkable. the bulletin states,
that the average Of registration cities

fer OF cities from the group Of cities

Three Corruptionists Have Al
ready Testified in the Lor-
inner Investigation
L0SIkER'S COUNSEL WANTS
TO START CRIMINAL ACTION
Is Seeking to Remove the Implied I'm.
munity From the Corruptlonists and
Force Them to Indict Themselves
Before the Grand Jury.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-When the Lori
mer investigation committee resumed
its inquiry today Attorney Hanecy,
representing Senator Lorimer, asked
leave to show that his contention
that the witnesses should be allowed
to testify to the grand jury proceed
ings is correct. He cited consider
able law to this end but decision was
reserved by the committee for the
time being.
Miss Mollie vandeuer of East St.
Louis. who was stenographer for
Representative Charles White, was
the first witness today.
Representative H. j. G. Beckemeyer
on the witness stand yesterday testi-
fed that he received $1,000 for vOt-
ing for Senator Lorimer.
Beckemeyer was the third legisla-
tor in this hearing to declare that he
was given money for his vote in the
senatorial election.
Counsel for Senator Lorimer
brought out in cross examination that
Beckemeyer's vote for Senator Lori
mer was not induced by the promise
of any payment. Beckemeyer, who
has been a witness in both the trials
Of Minority Leader Browne, testified
that the $1,000 was paid to him by
Browne who said when he gave the
witness a roll of bills here is the
Lorimer money"
Senator Frazier of Tennessee,
shortly before Beckemeyer left the
witness stand questioned him close
ly on oil the incidents the witness
had testified to and Beckemeyer In
response to the quiz declared that
prior to voting for Senator Lorimer
he had not had any .conversatton
with Browne or any one in which
anything was said about receiving
any benefit for his vote for Senator
Lorimer; that he had never had any
dealings with Browne which would
call for the payment Of the money.
II understand that when I got the
money that it was for my vote for
Senator Lorimer," said the witness.
"Can it be possible" said the sena-
tor, that there is law which au-
thorizes an officer to keep q man in
custody without any charge or In
dictment against him?"
Attorney Hanecy declared that
there was no such law and that he
was prepared to argue that the wit
ness had been under duress. In re-
sponse to later question from At
torney Austrian Beckemeyer said that
he was in custody partly at his own
request as he had told the states at
torney that he would like to have
some one protect him and that he did
not consider himself under duress or
restraint.
