Forger in Missouri Penitentiary
Claims Marvellous Discoveries
in Higher Mathematics
SEEKS PARDON FOR REWARD
Michael Angelo McGinnis Asserts
He Can Solve Battling Equa-
tionS by LogarithmS
(Associated Pressl

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. S.-Assert-
ing he has made mathematical discoN-
cries which will have a sweeping in
tiuence on that science, Michael Angelo
McGinnis, serving ten years for forgery
in the Missouri penitentiary. has offered
to demonstrate his discovery to any
committee of mathematicians Governor
Hadley may designate if a pardon will
be his just reward for success.
His communication was sent to the
governor through DR. ID. G.. Simpson of
Clarksburg, Mo. DR.. Simpson says the
discovery made by McGinnis is the re-
duction of the general equation of the
tenth degree to an equation one degree
lower.
Among the discoveries claimed by
MoGinnis are: First, that for the gem
eral solution of an equation containing
literal coefficients, there also lies a
general logarithmic solution, for its
corresponding numerical equation, thus
establishing a general method for solV-
ing numerical equations by logdrithms' ;
second, that he has found the exact
relation of the diameter of circle to
its circumference.
Since the time of Euclid, the relation
has been supposed to be 3.1416 plus.
McGinnis says he knows just what the
plus is. He says he has discovered
the exact root of all numbers and that
Imperfect squares" will be no more.
McGinnis is a descendant of John
Napier inventor of logarthms he says.
u have known McGinnis for years, y
said Prof Greenwood superintendent
of public schools of Kansas City. He
taught mathematics in a college at
Wichita, also in southern Missouri. A
book of his on algebra, written, l am
told during former term in prison, is
a marvellous work. But for his use of
Intoxicating liquor this man would be
an international authority.
"Mathematicians so far never have
been able to solve literal equations
above the fourth degree. McGinnis
says he can work them in the tenth
European mathematicians say they
have proved it impossible to work them
above the fourth degree"

GERMAN BOYS ARRIVE
To STUDY. FACTORIES
Sons of Captains of Industry to
Visit Great American Com
merCiaI Plants

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Twelve sons
of German captains of industry, stu
dents from Cologne University of Com
merce now in New York city, began a
tour of study of American industries
today and commercial organizations.
Their program for today began with
the stock exchange and ended with
visits to the offices of the large in
surance companies.
They will go to Philadelphia tomor-
row, and later will visit the census
bureau at Washington, the Pittsburg
steel mills, the new town of Gary and
the Chicago stock yards. They will
take in Milwaukee, Seattle, Duluth
San Francisco, Santa Barbara and Los
Angeles before returning to New York
ut is the German notion" says the
director of studies, that sons of cap
tains of industry should be especially
trained to carry on the great bust
ness built up by their fathers or grand
fathers. Because man is his fathers
son is not in itself to be conclusive
evidence that he can successfully con-
duct the business without special
training"
Another party of visitors just ar
rived in New York includes fifteen
young men in white uniforms and
white caps, with broad bands of gold
lace, who are destined to become Of
ficers in the Belgian merchant marine.
They are going to San Francisco to
practice navigation on the four-masted
ship Belgian rAVinair, now loading
barley at the Golden Gate forthe
United Kingdom.

FRENCH AVIATORS END
FIRST HALF OF RACE
Parisians Driven AeropIane Mad
by Successful Flights

PARIS, Aug. S.-All Paris is aero-
plane mad over the marvellous success
of the first lap of the great 4S4-mile
cross country race from Issy les Moli-
neaux, through Troyes, Nancy, Me-
sires, Charleville, Boual and Amiens,
in which six of the eight aviators sue
cessfully completed the first stage of
the trip to Troyes. All of the officials
unite in declaring the success of so
many machines foreshadows the COM
plete conquest of the air.
Thousands of automobiles gathered
at Troyes today with the intention of
following the race, the second stage
of which starts tomorrow through to
the finish. On account of the difficulty
experienced by the machines yesterday
in following the course it has been ar
ranged to fly marking flags on the
spires of churches along the route.
Three military acroplanes, the driv-
ers of which under the rules are not
allowed to participate in the prize, are
following from Muiarmelon lie Grand
to Nancy today to join the contest
ants when they arrive there tomorrow
at the conclusion of the second stage.
Hubert Latham, Who was unable to
start yesterday on account of illness,
started from Paris in his airship today
in an endeavor to complete the trip to
Troyes and place himself on an equal
footing with his competitors. An hour
and sixteen minutes later, however,
Latham alighted or the land of his
mothers chateau neaf Dreux, about
forty-two miles from Paris.

TARIFF LAW PRODUCES
RECORD-BREAKING SUM
First Year of Operation Shows
Increase of $75,OOO,OOO
Over Previous Totals

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The Payne.
Aldrich tariff law has produced in it's
first year a revenue greater by $75,000,-
900 than the sum collected in any year
in the countrys history, except the
banner year 1907, according to treasury
department figures issued today. The
second year of the operations of the
new tariff began today.
During the first full year, ended last
Saturday night, the total ordinary re-
eeipts, including customs, ordinary in
ternal revenue, corporation taxes and
miscellaneous, aggregating $67S, ,S50,S16,
exceeded disbursements by $20,214.
These ordinary receipts were greater by.
$3.50, 900 approximately than during
1907, and the 1907 receipts exceeded
those of any other year Of record by
almost $60,000,0OO. While there was a
deficit of $5S,734,955 in the ordinary
operations of the government in the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1909, there
was a surplus of more than $40, 900
in the year ended last Saturday.
The corporation tax revenue was $27,-
O9O,934 which is only $270,00O less than
the amount assessed.
Lax methods no longer prevail at the
customs house, it is said, and to the
rehabilitation of service and improved
morals are attributed an estimated
augmentation of $12,000,000 in revenue
at New York alone.

CONGRESSMAN TELLS OF
ATTEMPTS To GET LOAN

MUSKOGEE, okla. Aug. Sin reply
to the charges made by Jake l.. Hamon
at McAlester today that Congress
man c. e. Creager had attempted,
under the guise of loans, to obtain
sums" from j. f. McMurray. Mr.
Creager today gave out the following
statement:
u have lust written a letter to Con-
gressman Burke, in reply to the
charges made against me by Mr..
Hamon this afternoon, in which / am
nynlainine the circumstances in detail,
ana advising him that, if necessary,
will be glad to go before the COM
mittee and answer any questions that
NAV be asked in regard to the matter.
"There is some foundation Tor the
statement Of Hamon, but he must have
stated the case in an entirely different
manner than it was given to him by
McMurray
"Before leaving Muskogee In No
venber, I tried to trade certain prop
erty for so acres OF farm land worth
$4,000, agreeing to pay the adherence,
which amounted to $4,000. | found tnat
7 could not meet the requirements of
tbe transactions, so l made applica-
ton to the state for loan from the
school fund. In December, after my
arrival at washington, ] received
letter from Guthrie, denying my re-
quest. Mr. McMurray happened 10 be
in my office at this time, and l ex-
planned the situation to him and asked
him if he knew where l could get the
money. He replied that if he had the
money on hand he would be glad to
make the loan himself.
"A few days later McMurray told
me he had the money and could make
the loan, but questioned the propriety
Of our entering into a deal Of this
kind. This was the first time the mat
ter was brought to my attention III
that light and it was dropped then
and there. Mr. McMurray never loaned
me the money"

Sheepmen Have Not
 Been So Unfortunate

James Scott, who has just completed the shearing of his sheep, which were wintered on the desert near the foothills east of town, reports that hls bands are crossing the river at the pres. ent time. One of the things for which MT. Scott has to be thank ful for IS the condition in which
 he found his animals. The i'm pression has gained some head way that the sheep were in very poor condition. This, Mr. Scott says, IS not true to a very great extent with his bands. He re- ports to the effect that the anim- als are in much better condition than he expected, and that they are going into the hills in good condition. The reports to the effect that the northern part of the territory has been visited with rains also came as good news to the sheepmen who ar, taking their herds in that direc- tion. The result of the clipping has also developed that the aver age this year is up to the stand ard of recent years.- Phoenix Republican.
