fear and excitement. He left the home
of his boyhood on foot and made his
way to Philadelphia, where he CHANGED

John was easily persuaded and he suf-

Our Civil war had brought a great

Wild cat banks had gone out of en-

the appointed place they scattered

istrative affairs of the corporation, but
the details of executive management.

ceeds Mr.. Gary, he becomes chief IN
authority over all provinces of the
largest corporation in the world.

PIER LINE 0UTGR0WN.
Government Asked for Consent to
Lengthen New York Docks.

New York, Jan. 4.-The pier head
line established in New York harbor
by the war department has been out
grown by modern ocean liners and
unless the government consents to a
lengthening of the docks, the latest
additions to the transatlantic fleet
the Titantic and Olympic of the White
Star fleet, will stick out into the har-
Dor sixty feet or more as they lie in
their berths.
The attention of the department is
called to this fact by P. A. S. Frank
lin. vice president of the interna tional
mercantile marine company. in q let
ter to Secretary Dickinson. Mr.. Frank
lin writes that though the Ambrose
Channel has been dredged to accom-
modate vessels of forty foot draft,
nothing has been done to make il pos
sible to dock such ships with safety.
The Titanic is SS2 feet in length and
will arrive here on her maiden voyage
this spring. The company's longest
pier is S25 feet, which will leave so
feet of the steamer unprotected from
harbor traffic and the winter ice foes
Permission is asked to lengthen the
piers 100 feet. Hitherto the govern
ment has been inclined to hold that
the Hudson river is crowded enough
already.

New York, Jan. Many of the
friends of owen Kildare, author and
playwright, who rose from the posi-
ton of bartender in a Bowery dive to
be one of the most successful writer's

him annulled and is now the wife of
Lieut.. Commander Charles A. Adams,

her marriage to Commander Adams,
the young woman still retains so
strong an interestin her first husband
that she and her young daughter visit
him every other day
Mrs. Adams orders are that Kildare
shall have everything in the world
that he wants and that at the slight
est expression of a wish to see her, she
must be sent for
Meanwhile, to a big circle of her
old friends -she--is-~s still called Mrs
Kildare" and most of these have no
suspicion that she has married again.

GOLD OUTPUT LESS.
A Decline in Production All Over the
World.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Production of
gold fell off all over the world during
1910 according to a preliminary esti-
mate prepared by George E. Roberts,
director of the mint. Mr.. Roberts is
of the opinion that any possibility of
an embarrassing oversupply with the
attendant rise in prices which eco
nomists predicted to go with it has
been passed.
More than s96,ooO,00o in gold was
mined in the United States during the
year. Africa led the world with more
than 175,OOO.000, Australia was
third with $65,OO0,000. California
iregained first place among the gold
producing states which she had lost
to Colorado in 1897, due it is said to
the development of dredge mining.
Alaska showed a falling off.
The total silver production of the
United States during 1910 is estimated
at fifty six million fine ounces in
which Montana led with eleven mil
lions, with Utah a close second.

him for a third term.
For more than 100 years it has been
part of the unwritten law of the land
that president shall serve two terms
and no more. and to break down that
unwritten law now would be exceed
ingly dangerous. Therefore, I am in
favor now of fixing it so it can not be
broken.
IF the presidential term is made six
years 1 am in favor of making the
term in congress three instead of two
years. Then the states falling into That
rule would have an election every three
years.
Mr. Clark also is in favor of eIecting
both the president and the representa-
tives in congress on the last Monday
in August and OF inaugararing the pres
ident and the members Of congress on
the first Monday in October.
