STIMSON TO Be
sworn IN TODAY
Ceremonies In Connection With His
Assuming New Duties viii be
Quite Simple.

dSnlHSIOu, May zl.-f1eury l..
Stimson, the new Secretary of War,
succeeding Joseph H. Dickinson, re-
signed is expected to be sworn into
office today, There will be no elabor-
ate ceremony to mark the change in
the Presidents official family. Mr..
Stimson is anxious to get down to
work and wishes no time lost In pre-
liminaries.
Mr. Stlmson is 40 years old. If he
lives to see next September, he will
celebrate his forty-fourth birthday. 1t
was as United States District Attor-
ney, in charge of the prosecution of
half dozen big railroads accused of
giving rebates to the Sugar Trust that
Mr.. Stimson first came prominently
into the public eye. Those prosecu-
tons closely followed his appointment
by President Roosevelt early in 1906
After he had twice convicted the New
York Central before a jury, the Rock
AoiohuJ bht ~ dul anu tut StnlI
Vermont all pleaded guilty, and the
Great Northern, which held out, met
the same fate as the New York Cen
trail in a jury trial.
There followed in close succession
the prosecutions of various paper COM
binations, and the beginning of the
| cases against the American Sugar Re-
| filming Company, which resulted in YER
diets of guilty against the trust itself,
as we'll as against Charles R. Heike,
its Treasurer; the Superintendent of
| the Havemeyer & Elder Refinery in
Williamsburg New York City, and
various men under him. The Sugar
Trust customs frauds cases and other
prosecutions for violation of the Gus
toms laws brought $3,435,363 in fines
and back duties into the United States
Treasury. The other big cases of the
Stimson regime in the United States
Attorneys office was the prosecution
of Charles w. Morse and his convic
ton for wrecking the National Bank
of North America
Mr.. Stimson was still engaged in
winding up the sugar cases when he
resigned, and was succeeded by Henry
A. Wise, in the spring of 1909. He
continued as special counsel for the
Government until the last Sugar Trus
defendant was convicted. Then cam,
a period of the practice of law, IL
which he had been engaged from tn,
time of his graduation from the Har
ward Law School in 1891.
When the republican progressive
got control of the Saratoga convention
last summer, Theodore Roosevelt
made Mr.. Stimson his candidate 70
governor and brought about his nomi
nation, which was followed by his de
feat Since the first of the year MI
Stimson has delivered several address
es that attracted the attention, il
which he placed himself in the progress
sive wing of his party. His most re
cent public activity has been as hea'
of the new Fire Prevention Bureau
established by the Citizens Commit
tee of Safety. Mr. Stimson is mem

member before he entered the Nc

November, Heidemann was not arrest

man was employed at the time of the
murder by an Asbury Park florist.

The Power Of Etna,


The eruption of Mount Etna In
March has led to a study of the oper-
atoms of the great Sicilian volcano
which presents an imposing picture
of its gigantic power. When the
strain produced by the accommodating
lava in the interior becomes too great
to be borne. the mountain often splits
open on one side, and there the molten
rock pours out and flows for miles
down the slope and across the ada.
cent country. In the eruption of 1883
the southern slope Of the mountain
was split. and the immense assure has
served as an outlet for the lava dur
ing several subsequent eruptions. A
curious fact is that, owing to the grad.
ual filing up Of the assure. each erup
ton has occurred at greater eleva.
ton. Thus, In 1883 the outbreak &C.
