Find Fortune Under Floor.

The dismantling of the building
formerly occupied by a dental manu-
featuring company in Wilmington,
Del, which was purchased by a
real estate company, disclosed a small
fortune in platinum between two lay
ars of the floor.
In making dental supplies a large
quantity of the metal is used, and it
is worth between $40 and $50 an
ounce. In order to catch any stray
grains a double floor had been laid.
For years atoms of the valuable
metal have sifted through, and when
the floor was taken up gSains were

Although it has been recommended
to President Taft that DR.. Harvey w
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemis-
try, resign, DR.. Wiley has not resigned
and his resignation has not been ask
ed by the president
This statement was authorized at

of the personnel committee of the de-
partment of agriculture recommend
ing the resignation of Dr. Wiley upon
charges that he had cOnspired with

drugs, to pay an illegal compensation
to DIR. H. H. Rusby, head of the New

hia university, who has been connect
ed with the department of agriculture

England Won't Help Japan Fight U. S.

England Won't Help Japan Fight U. s.
A revised Anglo-Japanese treaty was
signed in London on Friday.
The fourth clause corrOborates the
forecast from Toxic July II, in which
it was said that Great Britain pro-
posed to modify the clause providing
for mutual assistance in the event of
war, making the provision inapplicable
in the event that either party to the
alliance was fighting with a nation
with whom the other had concluded a
general arbitration treaty.
The treaty is to run for ten years
from date The most important change
from the earlier agreement is embod-
led in the fourth article, providing
that if either party concludes a treaty
of general arbitration with a third
power, the alliance shall not entail ar
obligation to go to war with that
power.

Twelve Killed In Railroad Wreck

lWGiNC NttlGu w hdliIOdu WlGSNs
Running at the rate of sixty miles
an hour when the engineman's o. ders
called for fifteen miles at Bridgeport,
Conn.,, the Federal Express, running
from Washington to Boston without
change, containing total of nine cars,
six of them sleepers, dashed over a
twenty-fve-foot embankment at Fair
field avenue, the locomotive ramming
the big stone and concrete abutment
below.
Twelve persons were killed instant
ly, or before aid could be brought to
them, and over fifty were injured,
some of them so badly that they will
die.
A new "cross-over" installed on the
Burr road viaduct and embankment on
the western outskirts of the city was
indirectly responsible for the accident.
The train was late and the engineer
was driving to- make up lost time.
When the heavy vestibuled train of
nine cars struck the switch at full
speed the locomotive leaped, rocked
and swayed over the ties for nearly
$50 yards and finally fell to the street
below, dragging six cars down the en-
bankment. The coupling broke be-
tween the sixth and seventh cars,
leaving three sleepers upright on the
embankment, two Of them still on the
rails.
The engine, twisted into junk, was
200 feet south of Fairfield avenue. Be
hind were the mail and baggage cars
while the Pullmans and coaches were
in a mass in the rear.
