CONSPIRAToRS

Toxic, Jan. 1S.-D. Kotoku. his
wife and twenty-five fellow anarch-
lists today were sentenced to death
for having conspired against the
life of the emperor and other mem
bers of the Imperial household.
Two others went to prison, one for
eleven years and the other for a
term of eight years. The trial has
been secret. but the final dramatic
scene was witnessed by diplomats
and many prominent Japanese. When
sentence was pronounced one of the
doomed men arose and shouted
"Bazai." All the prisoners then i'm
mediately sprang to their feet and
Kotoku, raising his hands above his
head, cried: Long live anarchy"
1t is likely that life in exile will
be substituted for the death penalty.

RATIO OF FAILURES
in BANKING WORLD
WELL KNOWN PROFESSOR ON
ECONOMICS PREPARES Ex-
HAUSTIvE REPORT

Washington, Jan. 1S.-In an ex-
haustive review of the growth of state
banks and trust companies since ma
tional banks entered the field in 1864,
Prof. George E. Barnett of Johns
Hopkins university, in volume just
published by the National Monetary
Commission declares that he has been
unable to find that the rate of failure
among state banks is any higher than
that among national banks.
Prof. Barnett bases his assertion on
an examination of the statistics from
1892 to 1909. He believes, however,
that the national banks pay a higher
percentage of claims. Statistics OF
failures of trust companies are not
complete, but the writer is of opinion
that their percentage of failure is
higher than that of either state or ma
tional banks.
Growth OF state banks has been phe-
nomenal, according to the statistics
which have been collected for the vol
ume. They are now twice as numer-
GUS as the national banks, although
their combined capital is only half as
much Their growth has been espe-
cially rapid since 1886, and the great
est increase has occurred since 1889.
Their growth has been greatest in the
far west and least in the New England
states. Trust companies have been
on the increase since 1889. There are
now approximately $4,000 state banks,
private banks and trust companies.
State banks have enjoyed pronounc-
ed prosperity, Prof. Barnett says, be
cause they have fewer restrictions
than national banks in making loans
and because the capital and reserve
requirement for state banks are less
stringent, while the profit on circula
tion of national bank notes has not
been great. They have been growing
at the expense of private banks, and
in many cases have supplanted ma
tional banks of small capitalization.
The recent growth of trust com
panies, Prof. Barnett says, has beer
due to their more liberal reserve re
quirements, their more liberal provi

Thomas Lewis of the United Mine
Workers of America, in presenting his

els Feehan, of the Pittsburg district
and said that the strike in the Irwin
district in Pennsylvania has cost the
organization now nearly three hun
dred thousand dollars. This strike,
he declared, was ordered without
even consulting the national officers.
''It is a waste of money to continue
the Irwin strike under the present cir
cumstances,' he said. "a total of
1882, ,02O was paid out in 1910 in

TREASURE LOCATING
MACHINE INVENTED
BOY BELIEVES
HE HAS SOLVED PROBLEM OF
FINDING HIDDEN WEALTH

Albuquerque, N NJ, Jan. IA
hidden treasure" machine, which it
is believed by the inventor viii be
more practical than anything of the
kind on the market, has been con-
structed by Maurice Hudson, who is
also known as Maurice Garcia,
natural scientician and mechaniclan,
who has given the machine
try out and is confident that it will
be a success in locating minerals aid
other hidden wealth. The machine
is built on practical lines.
Garcia worked on various models
for several months before he
finally completed the machine which
he believes is superior to any built
by other inventors. The machine was
giyrn a through try out near C9rr'ICs
same time ago and Hudson denol-
strated beyond a doubt that it Is
quite an efficient outfit. Consider
able prospecting was done ~ San
CaIcos, mites from Cer'illos,
where, according to Hudson, who has
the legend from old timers, 29 bars
of gold bullion were buried near the
San Marcos church at the time the
Duke of Albuquerque and other con-
quistadores were in this country from
Old Mexico and Spain. Although the
machine failed to make any locations
which proved the existence of gold,
