that upon which the original wealth
Of the faH1sstss' family was founded:
the young man has obtained a mo-
nopoly of properties, which experts
say should make him one OF the
eountry's richest men.
The fact became known through
the presence In New York of num-
Der of engineers who came to con-
fer with Mr.. Gould. Chief among
these Is William c. Whitner. an OFF,
Ger In dozen or more compa MES
which have been organized during the
last few years
Mr.. Whitner declined to go into the
details OF the Frank Gould invest
ments. further than to admit that
they are more extensive than any Of
his New York friends have believed.
From other authoritative sources II
was learned that Mr. Gould has just
secured control of rs. 000-horse water
power on the Roanoke river.
This property is the nearest large
power to Norfolk, where Mr.. Gould
now owns the street railways and
lighting plants. 1t Is located only TO
miles from Norfolk and 30 miles from
q
thing in that line. The Virginia and
Carolina Power Company was organ
tied only last week for the purpose
OF taking over this property. The
headquarters will be at Weldon, n.
&. william c. Whitner will be pres
ident, and Fritz Sitterdlng secretary
and treasurer
Although Mr.. Gould has admittedly
spent much time prospecting in Vir-
ginia himself, his operations have
been carried on largely by a cousin,
Robert Northrop Whitener. and Sit
terding.

to obtain and develop the large wa,er-
powers on the James river AT Rich
mond. on the Appomattox at Peters
burg and on the Rappahannock at
fredericksburg, and last or the Rea-
noke river at Weldon.
Another of the valuable Gould
proparties wAieha is being rapid de-
veloped is the Richmond and Chesa-

He looks ahead all the while. and the

however, a serious question to be
raised. The carrying off of oxygen
would break down the structure of
the milk and cause certain changes
that might very we'll alter its food

ments in milk by heating is one of
the objections raised against the sys-
tenn of pasteurization.
THE trap might, however, be OF
great help in obtaining concentrated
samples of the bacterial life in a

flow of oxygen attracts the microbes

AN ODD EXPLANATION
Curious Story Grows Out of Cause
of Aviator Moissant's Death.

Curious Story Grows Out of Cause
of Aviator Moissant's Death.
A curious story has grown out
of the aftermath Of discussion rela-
tive to possible causes for Moissant's
death, This story has it that an in
growing toe nail on Moissart's right
foot was directly responsible for the
fatal accident. The offending nail
had been causing him intense pain,
and he had an engagement with a
cAiropodist for Saturday afternoon,
when an operation was to have been
attempted.
The theory is set forth that sud-
den pain might have caused Moissant
to erratically shift about in the ma
chine to whose balance he was not
accustomed, thereby upsetting equi-
librium and tossing the machine
down cascde of air before Moissant
could recover.

MOST CONTEMPORARY.
Now the Highest Tribunal in the

Land Disposes of 1t Finally With
out Comfort to Ex-President.
The abuse of governmental power
by Roosevelt was never more effect
ually shown to the public than in the
almost contemptuous throwing out
of court of the suit brought in the
name of the government against the
New York World and other papers
charged with libeling the govern
ment" in the persons of Roosevelt,
his brother-in-law and several other
prominent republicans in connection
with the Panama canal purchase.
The newspapers in question charged
and the charge is still believed by
a large section of the American peo-
ple-that there was corruption in
the whole Panama canal transaction.
The charges were personal in their
nature, but Roosevelt, by calling in
the assistance of subservient gov
eminent officials, sought to make it
a criminal libel against the govern
ment, something never entertained
in this country since the period of
the sedition laws in the years of
the last century.
The United States district attorney
in the Indianapolis district resigned
his position rather than be made a
party to such procedure, the judge
threw the case out of court, with
some remarks not inclined to soften
the ruffled temper of the then presi-
dent; in New York it got but little
better treatment, and finally the SUI
preme court on Tuesday decided the
federal government could not main
tain the so-called libel suit, which
was in effect based on the ground
that newspapers circulating the So
called libels had entered the gov
eminent reservations at West Point
and other military posts. Persons

Amazing as Professor Gorham's
idea sounds it is borne out by ex-
periments in this country and in
France and England, says the Boston
Post. In a word, it means that be-
fore very long the householder who
suspects the milk is infested with
germs may set his trap, and in
very short time feel assured that he
has drawn out from the liquid all
the intinitesimal, wriggly creatures
that bring disease and death.
When these traps are perfected
and placed upon the market the use
of them will do away with the boil
ing of water to kill the dangerous
microbes, and the person drinking
the liquid after it has been exposed
to a trap" will feel satisfaction in
knowing that it is clear of microbes
instead of being filled with their bod
les, as is the case when they are
killed by the boiling process.
There is not the slightest doubt"
says Prof. Gorham in discussing this
most interesting discovery, that
certain types of microbes are attract
ed by Oxygen-are fond of it, we
may say. Now, If current of cleo
trlcity Is passing through water oxy-
gen is liberated around one of the
wires through which the current is
brought into the tank. Bacteria will
Immediately be attracted to the wire
where this gas is generated
An experiment of the greatest in
terest has been made whereby the
microbes have been enticed into
solution suitable for a culture. By
thlS means they are lured through a
series of tubes from the water to be
purified into the smaller receptacle,
which, perhaps, may be called trap.
The trap is, Of course, separate
from the main vessel, and if the cur
rent is kept on and conditions of
temperature and other elements are
suitable the main receptacle may be
purified.
Something of this sort has al
ready been used with success in
France. There a current of electric
lty is passed through water to form
ozone, and this ozone destroys in
stead of traps the microbes. BY
ozone we do not mean what the poet
has in mind when he sings of pine
forests. Ozone, chemically speaking,
is a single molecule, while oxygen
is represented by the symbol OF, or
two molecules.
"As for the use of the microbe
electric trap to purify milk there is,

TRAIN LOAD OF TRAMPs.
Twenty-SiX Were Caught on Atlantic
Coast Line Sunday.

Twenty-six tramps were taken
from a special train on the Atlantic
Coast Line at Thomasville and Quit
man Sunday. The tramps were on
a special train of stock which was
being taken from Pensacola to Tam
pa for the Tampa races. The hoboes
were following the races, and when
they left Pensacola they bought tick
cts over the Louisville and Nash
vile, determined to beat their way
over the Atlantic Coast Line.
The trainmen put them off at a
number of places, but when they
reached the next station the tramps
were on hand. The Thomasville
officers were notified to meet the
train and eleven of the bunch were
caught. The officers at Quitman
were also notified to meet the train,
and they were on hand in large num-
bers. When the train stopped a
switch engine took the cars in which
the tramps had secreted themselves
and ran to the trestle across the
Ocapilco creek. The train was
stopped there, the officers surround
ed it and captured fourteen of the
tramps, three Of them managing to
escape.
The hoboes will be tried for beat
ing their way on the train in Brooks
and Thomas counties.

ONLY TWO SECRETARIES.
But There Will Be Usual Amount of
Help in Gov. Smiths Office.

But There VIII Be Usual Amount of
Help in Gov. Smiths Office.
Governor-elect Hoke Smith has, in
effect, announced that he will have
only two secretaries in the executive
office instead of three, as has been
the custom heretofore.
The governor-elect expresses the
belief that under the law only two
secretaries are allowed the governor,
although he had three as usual dur
ing his former term of office. What
ever other assistance is needed in
the executive Office he thinks should
come under the head of clerical help.
In the long run, therefore, the
situation will be just about the
same, as it seems practically impos-
sible for the governor to get along
with less than four in his office force.
Heretofore there have been three
secretaries and stenographer;
hereafter, under Governor Smith, at
least, there will be two secretaries,
a stenographer and clerk.
The legislature appropriates &c.
600 a year for clerical help in the
governors office, and he divides it
as he sees fit. Executive secretaries
have been paid as rule, from ST.
500 to $500 and the stenographer
from $500 to $1,000.
