WASHINGTON, May 9.-Secret
service officials charged with
guarding the president are greatly
worried over Taft's program for
today. The president will open the
actors fund fair in New York this
afternoon, then he will cross to
the New Jersey shore and motor to
Passaic.
Northern New Jersey is regard
ed by the secret service men as

fact that has caused the alarm of
the secret service men. Extraor-

TRYING To MAKE COLD

and Other Misfortunes Over
take Seekers of Secret

NEW YORK, June 15.-May %, 1896,
two men lost their lives while expert
menting with a process for making
gold" Charles Johnson and George
Minear, both of Fairfield, Ia, expert
mented for months with a secret pro-
cess in which the then novel X-ray
played an important part.
johnson and Minear were sure of
success and confident that untold
wealth lay within their grasp. They
spent their money to erect an eXpen-
siVe laboratory at Fairfield, and there
they melted metals in the crucible, and
while carrying the crucible to the
chamber where they planned to use
the X-rays on the mixture one Of them
stumbled. The super-heated contents
of the crucible fell upon the men and
killed them instantly.
Other men have met severe acci-
dents, and even death, In the course of
chemical experiments that dealt with
the mysteries of metals, and several
were hanged in olden days because
they pretended to have discovered a
way of Transforming base metals into
those of greater value.
The famous diamond maker of Sac
ramento," DR.. Barnard, still lives in
the memory of some Californians.
Barnard sought to liquefy carbon, and
by pressure reduce it to the diamond.
The vessel used for his experiments
burst one day and Barnard was blown
to shreds.
In the reign of George III an alchem-
list, DR.. Price, who had pretended to
manufacture gold before the very eyes
of the king, committed suicide when a
royal commission was appointed to in
quire into his methods.
Paracelsus, the great philosopher, al
chemist and charlatan. having invent
ed or discovered what he thought was
the "elixir of life," took drink of it
to insure his eternal youth and straight
way died. He had evolved the concoc-
ton in the course of his experiments
for the transmutation of metals.
Famous in history was Dubois, an
ex-monk, who deceived Louis XIII of
France and Cardinal Richelieu into the
belief he had solved the great mystery
of alchemy. Before the king and
queen and cardinal he pottered over
a crucible and finally displayed mug
get of gold in the bottom of the ves-
sci. He was feted and made much of,
but when Louis discovered that the
monk-scientist could only make small
nuggets, and those with great difficulty,
Dubois was thrown into the Bastile to
force him to reveal his great secret.
King and cardinal planned to use it
themselves on an extensive scale. 1t
was shown at last that Dubois was an
imposter, who threw gold into the cru
chile under cover Of his queer opera
tions. He was hanged June 20, 1887.

SAN PEDRO, June 15.-Mayor Alex
nnder and members of the city council
made thorough inspection of the har-
Dor today. The principal object of the
visit was to inspect the site of muni-
cipal improvements at Wilmington,
where 1t is proposed to dredge q slip
and use the material taken out of
the channel to fill the streets and lots
that are below high tide.
This slip is on the north end of
Mormon island, between the island
and the mainland, west Of the goose
neck connecting the island with the
mainland. 1t is 300 feet wide and 1900
feet long. This is considered one of
the most valuable pieces of frontage
in the harbor for the reason that 1t
fronts on the thirty-seVen acres of
tideland to which the city has undis-
puted title.
The city engineer has recommended
that the grade of all streets in Will
mington in the low district bounded
by Sixth and the water front and
Broadway and Main be raised an aver
age of seven feet. To fill these streets
without great expense to the abuttinG
property owners 1t is proposed that the
material taken from the channels to be
dredged in the east basin by the gov
ernment and from the slip proposed for
the city be used. The only expense
property owners would have to bear
would be the relay pumping from the
dredger If the streets and lots were
filled at the same time.
Unless the grade of the streets is
raised and the lots filled it will be i'm
possible to sewer what is now the bust
ness section of Wilmington.
After the inspection Of the site for
the proposed municipal improvements
and a trip over the Mormon island
project, where the Bannings have re-
claimed 100 acres of tideland with ma
terial taken from the channels dredged
from the turning basin, the party was
taken in a launch to the new mills of
the Consolidated and Pacific Lumber
companies. These mills are located at
the end of the new channels and year
ago were two miles from navigable
water.
The delegation was entertained by
the Wilmington chamber of commerce.
Coffee and sandwiches were served at
the city hail. and later the visitors were
taken to the home of Hancock Ban
ming, where refreshment again was
offered.
Automobiles were then provided by
the Wilmington reception committee
and the entire party was brought to
San Pedro, where the outer harbor was
inspected. A stop was made at the top
of the bluff at Fourteenth street, where
good view is obtained of the entire
inner harbor
Here A. P. Fleming, secretary of the
harbor commission, explained the vari-
Gus concessions in the harbor to the
mayor and members of the council.
Considerable interest was shown in the
concession of the Pacific Wharf and
Storage company on the east side of
the channel, where preparations are
being made to cut a slip near Dead
mans island. Mr.. Fleming explained
that the city has a strip ninety feet
wide and 1900 feet long between the
harbor lines and the jetty and that 1t
will be necessary Tor the company TO
secure permission from the city to cut
