NEW KINGS COINS
SOON WILL ISSUE
British Expect Sculptor to Pro-
duce Design of Original
ity and Merit
LEGEND MAY BE CHANGED
Suggestion Made That Latin In
SCription Be Hereafter Rem
dered in English

LONDON, Aug. 5.-The production
of a new coinage is always rather
slow process but on the present occa-
sion it may be expedited to some ex-
tent.
In the case of the late king, who
came to the throne in January 1901,
the order in council and proclamation
determining new designs for gold and
bronze coins was issued on December
10 in the same year, and came into
force on January /, 1902, while the or
der relating to silver coins was not
approved until January 13.
On that occasion, there were several
changes on the reverse, notably the
half-crown and florin with the OBJ
ject of making the two coins as dis
similar as possible. The only change,
it is understood, which will be made
in the new coins will be the royal eff
figy, for which Mr.. Bertram MacKin-
nal, r. A.. the Australian sculptor, is
now engaged in making designs
The portrait of King Edward, which
appears en- the present coinage is the
work of Mr.. De Saulles, the then en-
graver to the mint, the head in pro-
file being truncated in a similar man
ner to the effigy on the first coinage
of Queen Victoria and on the coinageS
of most of his late majesty's predeces-
sors since the reigl of Charles II. Per-
haps the best that can be said for the
design is that it is commonplace and
tnoffensive. There is a confident ex-
pectation that Mr.. MacKinnal will
produce something worthy. not only of
his reputation as sculptor but also
of coinage which, as far at least as
its gold is concerned enjoys the larg-
est circulation in the world
Many suggestions are being made
as to alterations which might proper
ly be made in the new coinage. 1t is
contended, for instance, that the in
scription should be in English instead
of Latin. There is a good deal to be
said for the change from "Georgius V.
Del Ora: Britt: Omn: Rex: Def: Ind:
Imp" to the plain and simple legend
George V, King and Emperor"

SAVES Boys LIFE
WITH SUGGESTION
Lad Loses Leg and Arm; Sur
wives Operation Through
Suggestive Treatment

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-That 1O-year-
old Vanderschale's own strength of
mind was great enough to save him
from dying when he was thought to
have been fatally injured is the firm
belief of the surgeons and nurses of
the general hospital in Paterson, N.
J. He was discharged as a patient
yesterday in fine general health, but
his right leg and his right arm missing.
So serious was his case when he was
taken to the hospital weeks ago, it
was not expected that he would sur
ViVe the night.
Johnnie's home is at No. SO Avenue
B, Haledon, a suburb of Paterson. His
boy comrades gathered in numbers
yesterday to greet his return, and he
cheerily waved his remaining arm at
them. His nerve" since his accident
and the following operations have sur
prised many of the prominent surgeons
of the state who have watched his
case.
The lad was on a visit to an uncle
at Warren Point when train of the
Erie railroad ran him down while he
was playing on the track. His right
leg was cut off and his right arm
hung in shreds when he was picked up
Despite loss of blood, the boy sur
prlsed an ambulance surgeon who at
tended him by calling out that MS
leg was sin the bushes" when he was
being carried away on an emergency
stretcher.
His strongest thought, apparently,
was that his widowed mother would be
worried, and he begged the doctors and
nurses that she be told he was hurt
but little. He survived the amputation
of his arm splendidly.
DIR. Bender, an attending surgeon at
the general hospital, calls the case
wonderful"
"At the very first" he said, 81 found
that Johnnie had a very strong mental
ity and that he responded famously to
suggestion.
"That was the oniy chance to save
his life, aside from our best surgical
treatment, and 1 adopted, with the
nurses and other attending surgeons. a
course of suggestive treatment. AL
though the boy suffered terribly, l sug
gested' that he had no pain, and he
responded finely l did not 'hypnotize'
him, as it was not necessary on ac-
count of his ready reception of the
idea. The nurses followed the same
course"

EARTH'S ELECTRICITY
KEEPS CLOCK GOING
Britisher Devises TimepieCe That
He Thinks Will Run
Sixty Years

LONDON, Aug. 5.-An astonishing
claim comes from Burton-on-T Trent,
where a p. Bentley says that he has
solved the problem of perpetual motion
for stationary clocks.
He was awarded a gold medal at
Liverpool in 1902 for a clock which
has not been wound for ten years and
is still going. The latest invention,
which eclipses that clock, is actuated
by electricity secured direct from the
earth without battery, and its life de-
pends on the almost frictionless work.
ing parts
ingenuity, and the inventor, who has
spent much time in considering the
methods of applying negative and posi-
tive currents, is an electrician of some
note The clock, which started many
months ago, has never stopped once,
and it is the marvel of all who see 1t,
for, without the usual parts of a
spring timepiece, the pendulum swings
merrily on without apparent cause,
being driven back from side to side
through electrical agency, the wires
going direct into the earth.
Mr.. Bentley will not at the moment
disclose how he achieves the singular
result, and is awaiting full patent rec
ognition, but there the clock is, and if
any attempt is made to stop it in
stantly the pressure is released the
ticking goes on as before.
MIR. Bentley asserts that the fact of
the motive power remaining constant
and unchanged should insure abso-
lutely correct time Making every al
lowance for wear and tear the inventor
is convinced that it is no eXaggeration
to state that the clock will run for
sixty years with ease, provided the few
wheels within it do not wear down.

DEPOSED SULTAN READS
HISTORY OF OWN REIGN

SALONICA, Aug. abdul Hamid is
now enjoying the unique experience of
reading the history of his own reign.
The officers of his guard have handed
him a copy of a work in Turkish en-
titled, abdul Hamid: His Life and
His Reign" by the historian Osman
Mowri.
The fallen sultan peruses the rec
ord, replete with stories of his oppres-
sion and the dastardly crimes COM
mitted at his instigation, without any
show of emotion. He has been seen,
however, to make copious notes against
certain passages, which will doubtless
be his attempt at justification.
In view of an outbreak of smallpox
in Salonica, the sultan's doctor pro-
posed to vaccinate his patient, but
Abdul Hamid would only consent to
be inoculated with mixture of blood
and vaccine from the arm of his s.
year-old daughter.

WOMEN ARE DRESSED AS
MEN IN GAMBLING CAMP

PITTSBURG, Aug. 5-The county
detective bureau astonished Pittsburg
by announcing that an alleged raided
gambling camp was a colony of women
dressed in mems clothing, the whole
outfit being supported by rich young
men of Pittsburg, who visited the place
nightly in their automobiles.
Some male visitors found when the
police swooped down on the tented viii
lage on the banks of the Ohio about
six miles below Pittsburg, were ar
rested. Four women dressed as men
were brought before the authorities at
Pittsburg, but were released after the
detectives had learned all about them
and had eXacted their promise to ap-
pear at a hearing to be held early next
week.
Detective McMillen. who arrested
Henry Dickey and three other men,
who gave cognomens thought to be
fictitious, said that the revelations Of
some names will make a sensation
He declares he has the male garments
worn by the women and that the own
ers' names are stamped on all the
clothing.

RAILROAD WILL SPEND
$5OO,O0O ON NEW BRIDGE

TRENTON, N. J., Aug. 5.--The Phil
adelphia & Reading has planned one
of the greatest railroad bridges in the
world in order to save a few minutes
time between the two large cities. The
bridge is to be of concrete and is to
span the Delaware river at Yardley,
Pa, five miles above this city. The
cost is estimated at $500,000
The bridge will take the place of one
built thirty-five years ago, and for a
long time regarded as one of the show
bridges of American railroading. It's
great height above the river and its
delicate but firm lines of construction
made it remarkable piece of work
The new bridge when completed will
be wide enough for four sets of tracks,
it being the purpose of the company to
four track the whole system between
New York and Philadelphia.

BELLS PROMISES
PLEASE VETERANS
Men in the YountviIIe Soldiers
Home Greet Democratic
Candidate Cordially
PLEDGES REFORM If ELECTED
Declares State Institutions of
Every Kind Should Be Kept
Out of Politics
PLEDGES REFORM If ELECTED

YOUNTVILLE, Cal, Aug 5.-Theo-
dore A. Bell, Democratic candidate for
governor, delivered an address at the
Veterans home in Yountvlle tonight,
in which he took occasion to state what
institutions in the event that he is
elected governor.
Mr., Bell was given a cordial greet
ing by the hundreds Of members of
the home who crowded into the hall
to hear him. He has always been a
great favorite among them for, while
in congress, he procured the passage
of law that protected them in the
enjoyment of their pensions. At each
election since. the voters at the home
have given Bell a large majority of
their votes. He carried the home for
congress in 1904, and again in 1906,
when he ran for governor.
That portion of his address dealing
with state institutions is as follows:
"There are two things that must be
constantly borne in mind in the ad-
ministration of our state institutions
economy in the interest of the taxpay-
er and the proper treatment of the in
mate. Both the taxpayer and the in
mate suffer whenever any state insti-
tuition becomes the football of party
politics. The people are entitled to
have partisanship eliminated from
these places. If ! am elected COVER
nor of California this fall, l shall make
1t a prominent feature of my admin
istration to remove our state hospitals,
prisons, schools, and other public in
stitutions from the pernicious influence
of selfish politics. No state institution
shall be made cog in the wheel of
any political machine. l shall appoint
men to office who are in harmony with
these views, and who will scrupulously
enforce them.
"It is serious mistake to assume
that the control of these institutions
should be made a part of the spoils
system, without reference to the bur
the comfort and well-being of the
wards of the state. Our sole idea
should be to obtain men who are best
fitted by reason of their experience,
wisdom and humanity for these i'm
portant trusts.
"A recognition of the minority party
in the appointment of public boards
and commissions will constitute prac-
tical check upon any desire or effort to
of party politics. My appointees will
be men whose character for honesty,
efficiency and humanity is beyond at
tack.
THE policy of keeping state institu-
tions free from party politics prevailed
in this state for many years, and 1T Is
only during recent administrations that
the system of placing these institu-
tions in the hands of one party has
been adopted. The federal government
has recognized the wisdom of this pol
icy by requiring that the two most i'm
portant commissions now in existence,
that is, the interstate commerce COM
mission and the Panama canal COM
mission be non-partisan."
