Nonuo Free state.

The Kongo Free State was prac-
tically unknown to white men prior
to 1876, when it was explored by
the Belgian authorities. 1t was rec
ognized by the European powers as
a state in 1895. The country com
prises a strip of territory on the
right bank Of the river Kongo, as
well as some 100000 square miles,
an area larger than that of the
republic of Mexico. 1t has pop
ulation of only few thousand
whites and about 100000 Of
blacks. It's climate in many places
is bad for Europeans, though it
may be possible, with scientific san
Ration, to make safe abode for
whites.-New York American.

ARREST INVENTOR
ON GRAVE CHARGE
Moore Accused of Obtaining
$4,000 Shares of Stock
Fraudulently.

Caleb W. Moore, an inventor. was
brought to Washington this morning
from Marion, Somerset county, Nd,
| where he was arrested by Detectiv5
ODea on a charge of obtaining by al.
legged false pretenses 1900 shares of
stock in the Moore New Power Trans
| mission Company, a Washington cor
poration capitalized at S50O.0OO.
The specific charge against Moore is
that he transferred to the company, in
! exchange for a controlling interest in
the stock, certain rights and claims in
two valuable patents which he repre-
sented he owned outright, but which, It,
is alleged, had been previously disposed
of. Detectives Evans and O'Dea had
been working on the case for several
weeks, but It was not until yesterday
that they succeeded in locating Moore,
who left Washington about two months
ago.
According to the records of the Pat
ent Office, Moore, whose home is in
Vancouver, Wash, is the inventor of
pneumatic pump for pumping water by
means OF compressed air and machine
fer COMPRISING the air. for which let
ters patent were issued in 1903. Both
patents are valuable. 1t Is said.
Coming to Washington last summer,
Moore formed the Hudson Manufac-
turing Company. which was to devel-
op the patents. He was elected presi-
dent, while the other officers were
Fred C.. Geiger. an attorney, first vice
president; c. Fred. Isell, electrician at
the Capitol. second vice president and
general manager; John L. Martin, OF
5O9 Fourth street southeast, treasur-
er, and William C. Wooley. of c
street southeast. secretary. Later the
name of the company was changed to
the Moore New Power Transmission
Company.
While the company was capitalized
at 100000 the actual amount paid
into tn treasury. it is asserted, was
only $3.50. The heaviest investor
was Carl Flack. of 1904 Corcoran
street, who bought fifty-five shares
of stock at $40 each.
The money 1t is claimed was turned
over to Moore, who is alleged to have
spent less than 5000 in developing
city. an investigation was started by
the other officers of the companr.
who asked the police to take hand.
The detectives say that the Patent
Otfice records show that on July Z,
1909. Moore transferred the whole
rights of the pneumatic pump patent
to Fred A. Whitfield. OF Portland.
Ore, and on TIE same day Transferred
to the same party As per cent of his
interest in the air compressor patent.
Whitfield in turn, transferred certain
rights, according to the record, to the
Ashland Iron Works, of Ashland,
Ore, which in now engaged in the
manufacture Of the pumps
Moore claims that the negotiations
to transfer certain interests to Whit
field were never completed, in spite
of the records on file at the Patent
Office. He claims that the money he
received in Washington was properly
used in the compaay's interest He
will be given a hearing IN the Police
Court tomorrow.

KEPT SECRET LONG
OF UNIQUE MURDER
Tight-Rope Walker on Death
Bed Confesses How He
Killed Sweetheart.

VIENNA, Feb. .5.-Guilty knowledge
of a murder strange enough to havS
been imagined by Poe has been coTt
cealed for forty years by Gustave
Schmidt, and has now come to light
through his deathbed confession.
Schmidt was a tight-rope walker forty
years ago. and fell in love with girl
similarly employed in the same circus
in Vienna. On the evening before they
were to be married she Tilted him.
Before the performance he picked
apart the strands of the rope on which
she was to walk, tearing hit here and
a bit there, so as not to give the rope
the appearance of being cut. When she
stepped on the rope 1t broke, and she
fell sixty feet to her death. Schmidt
was never suspected, but had been a
conscience-stricken wreck ever since.

noise Of passing freight, Russell B.
Burbank, naval wireless expert con-
nected with the cruiser Chicago, walked
to his death at the Lexington street
grade crossing of the Boston and Maine
railroad at Waverly station.
Burbank was on his way from his
home on Trapeto road to the village
and. although the gates we're down.
made his way directly onto the track
Shouts of warning ,came too late to
save him.
Burbank was forty-two years Of age

lightship went adrift in the storm of
two years ago, 1t was he who handled
the key and sent out the wireless mes
sases that kept the land stations and
steamers notified of her whereabouts.

Conference Not Afraid That
BenefiCenCe Will Inlure

A stirring debate was held at the
closing session of the Wilmington
Conference yesterday afternoon as TO
whether participation of Methodist
Schools in Carnegie benehcences
meant a hauling down of the flag, a
departing from the faith Of the faith
ers. and the abandoning OF Methodist
principles" as the Rev. G. A. Cook
called il in an impassioned speech.
The Rev. Dr. Alfred K. Craig said
that such statements were unfounded,
the schools coming within the Carne-
gle benefcences had not changed their
charters or their principles in any
way. He said also that sectarianism
was no longer taught in denomina-
tional schools.
The Rev A. S. Mowbray stated that
IL would be unfortunate for anything
rejecting on Mr.. Carnegie's gifts TO
Methodist schools to get abroad at this
time, as he had it on good authority
that Mr.. Carnegie was about TO carry
out a second system of foundations de-
signed especially for church schools.
The matter was left with the majority
sentiment in favor of the Carnegie
gifts
