THE KAISER'S
 Is 1s BOARDED GOLD
Locked Up in Chests in Old Tower, German Government Keeps AL most 90 Million, As An Emer-
 gency Fund in Case of War.
From Sketch.

From Sketch.
 The bankers of Germany are anx- ious about supplying the money necessary in the event of the gov- ernment having to mobilize the army.
 For this purpose there is the sum of 2i millions dollars closed in the Julius Tower at Spandau. But the government has for long time past been of the opinion that this sum would prove wholly inade- quate, and that it will be necessary to increase it.
 Recently the director of the Bank of Germany declared that in his opinion the German banks would not be able, in case of war, to SUD- ply the necessary sums to the army, because as soon as it was known that war was imminent the depos- litors would besiege the banks in crowds and withdraw their money. In these circumstances he suggests that tbe war treasure in the Julius Tower be increased to GO million dollars.

FINED $2OO FOR
 BEATING MOTHER
Justice Meisner Tells James Mitch of Little MaumelIe He Con- siders the Sentence In-
 adequate.

Little Rock, July 28.-One of the
 most brutally cruel examples of in-
 humanity came up yesterday after
 noon before Justice Meisner, when
 James Mitchell of Little Maumelle
 was fined s200 and costs for beat
 ing his mother. Justice Meisner stated publicly that he regretted the fact that no statute could make the offense a felony, and that he considered that the hightest fine for
 the oifense, assault and battery, was Ipitifully inadequate. Testimony
 showed that Mitchell had gone to his mothers home, demanding cer-
 tain articles in her possession, and had beaten her upon her refusal
 to turn them over to him.
 Mitchell is married, and until re- gently lived with his mother, Mrs. Nellie B. Mitchell, at Little Mau- melle. Mitchell's wife, however,
 was unable to live harmoniously with his mother, and they removed
 to another house. Mrs. Nellie B. MlJclell WSd present as prosecute F ing witness, and displayed numer-
 ous bruises made by her son. She is an elderly woman, and was pain fully battered about the face. Pros ecuting Attorney Rogers speech in
 behalf of the state was bitter and
 strong, and after the trial Mitchell
 broke down and cried. However,
 his grief seemed to be caused more by the prospect of hard labor on the farm in default of his fine than by the revelation of his brutality. Why, durn it." he sniffled, after the trial, discussing his mothers refusal to give up articles demand
 ed by him, "she wouldn't gimme my chickens, even." As an afterthought
 he added, that he was sorry he had struck her. Mitchell is unable to raise the fine, it was stated yester- day afternoon, and will spend the time intervening between the trial
 and his departure for the county farm in jail.

NEW FEATURES
 OF CHOLERA SCARE
Boston Has Stamped Out Plague, But New York Has Several Suspects, and Three of
 Them Have Escaped.

New York, July 26.--Bellevue hos pital, the largest in the city, having now 960 patients, today harbors a new cholera suspect, making two detained in isolation wards in fear that they may be suffering from the dread Asiatic plague.
 Five men who arrived on three steamships have heen sent to Swim burne Island, as they showed symp- toms of the disease. Despite these facts, however, the health authori- ties declare that the last 2i hours have seen a general improvement in conditions. They are not in the least fearful that an epidemic may develop.
 The steamship Oceania arrived this morning from Genoa, palmero and Naples with three cases of sus- pected cholera on board. She was detained with her i29 cabin and i6s steerage passengers.
 The cholera situation at quaran-
 tine looks promising, though anchor
 ed in the bay are the detained steamers Principe di piemotex, Citts | di Messina and 0ceania. At SwInburn Island the case o1 Emanuel Bermudez, the former Bel
 levue patient, remains in the sam'
 condition.

ENGLAND LOOKING IN
Premier Asquith Says That the Situation Is Almost
 Serious.

London, July 27.-Premier As- quith made a statement in the house of commons today on the subject of Morocco, which fully bore out the description of the sit uation as one of real anxiety. The position, the premier said, had reached point at which it was bound to become difficult and bar rassing unless solution was found.
 MT. Asquith said that Great Brit ian was not a party to the conver- sations proceeding between France and Germany. but desired to see them result in an arrangement honorable and satisfactory to all parties. He earnestly appealed to the house not to seek to enter into the details of the situation at the present moment. The premier said the government had thought 1t right from the beginning to make it clear that failing satisfactory settlement, Great Britian must be- come an active party of the situ- ation.

NEW PALLAGRA THEORY
Inyestiaation to Be Made in Kansas
 to See If the Sand-Fly Carries the Disease.

Topeka, Kas., July 28.--Kansas will swing into the limelight of science this week through the search for a new theory of the cause of the disease pellagra.
 Dr. s. J. Crumbine, of the state board of health, yesterday found two advanced cases in Oswego. To- day he notified Dr. s. J. Hunter, en- tomologist at Kansas University to hurry to Oswego and to discover if the sand-ny carries the disease This theory was advanced by Dr. Sampson, an English scientist, now in Italy, where pellagra was first discovered. The cause of pellagra has always been a puzzle to the learned physicians.
 Dr. Crumbine will use the scien- tific men of the state on these cases to see if a cure is possible. The cases under observation are those of mother and her young daugh- ter.

LA TOILETTE NOT IN IT
Nebraska Republicans Give Presi- dent Taft Their En-
 dorsement.

Lincoln, Neb., July 26.- President Taft and his administration received strong endorsement in the Nebraska Republican convention here yester- day and effectively blocked all ef- forts of insurgent Republicans to arouse sentiment for Senator Rob ert M. La Toilette of Wisconsin, as a presidential candidate. Before the insurgents could get a chance to in troduce resolutions from the floor the regulars had rushed through a motion providing that the resolu- tions should be referred to the con- mittee.
 A committee of seven members, of which five were strong friends of Mir. Taft, were named by Chairman A. w. Jefferies of Omaha, with Vie- tor Rosewater chairman.
 When the platform resolution was finally adopted, tho insurgents failed to make even a show of a fight or objection, despite their early an- Inouncement that they would not as- sent to Taft endorsement on any condition. The resolution went through by rising vote, with a number of insurgents on their feet Out of total of 355 votes in the convention, it was said by regular leaders that the insurgents could not muster a following of more thar
 i5 delegates.

Locked up in old fashioned war
 chests in an ancient tower lies more
 gold than one man with team of
 mules could carry away in many
 trips. Stacked in great piles the
 glittering coins have lain for more
 than thirty years. No expedition of
 men thirsty for gold and the things
 it can buy have ever been organized
 to carry off this treasure trove, and
 it's owners have never made use of it. As far as any actual use to
 which they are being put is con- cerned the great strong boxes might
 as we'll contain as many iron ring
 CTS.
 The gold was brought to the old
 German fort of Spandau, nine miles
 northwest of Berlin, at the close of the Franco-prussian war. It
 was tribute from France, and Ger
 many converted the money into
 what is known as the imperial mili-
 tary reserve fund. It amounts to
 between 2i and 30 million dollars,
 and is intended to defray the first expenses of a campaign and to be sent to the various army headquar- ters fer daily use in case war
 should break out. If war should break out, the ruler of Germany calculates, this money in the Julius Tower at Spandau would last the army until a regular treasury ap- propriation could be made in due form.
 It would not be easy for an out slider to carry of this gold, although lit is packed in small iron chests of size to be readily transported. Spandau is the seat of the last of Germany's great inland forts. The Julius Tower is in the center of the Spandau Notifications, and the fort is always we'll garrisoned. The gov ernment maintains an infantry rifle school and ammunition rifle and artillery works there.
 One might suppose that the bank CTS of Germany would be opposed to having this hoard of gold kept out of circulation. On the con- trary, however, the bnakers are eager to have the government dou- lble the Imperial reserve fund. The men of finance are afraid that in case the government decided to mo- bilize the army in hurry, as the United States did the military fore es on the Mexican frontier a few weeks ago, they would be called upon to furnish the money to de- fray expenses.
 The 30 millions brought from
 France have lain gathering dust and no interest ever since the Fran co-Prussion War closed. All of which doesn't worry the conserva- tive German bankers at all.

NOTHING TO SHOW
 THE HEATHEN HERE
Head of Reform Bureau in Wash ington Says There Exists No Model Christian City in all the World.

Lake George, N. Y, July 27.--That there is no Christian city in the world today and no community to which heather could be taken as an example of the practical appli- cation of the gospel, was the state ment made yesterday by pr. C. J. Lansing, head of the reform bureau of Washington, in an address on social service before the men and religion forward movement. Dr. Lansing said no community has ever risen even to the first phrase of the Lords prayer, that no city has ever applied even it's first obli- gation.
 "'The Lords prayer" he said, "can not be prayed selflshly by the indi- vidual; all of it's human pronouns are plural, not singular-'our' in- stead of me- we instead of T. a prayer expressing the brotherhood of man. Thy kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven,' prays to have that model become the order of the earth. The will of God is made known to be done, not merely known.
 "The charge that the church
 would punish men in unrelieved misery by promising them heaven after death instead of this life, is contradictory of the obligation of all those who pray tho Lords prayer sincerely.
 Tt is a prayer of universal phil anthropy. It strikes vice which wastes billions and makes virtue, which saves and gives"

Terra Gotta Saves Money in Buildin


 A saving of over $500,000 was effected in the cost of building the State Educational building at AL bany, NY, by making the decorat- i've parts of the structure of terra cotta instead of chiseled marble, declares the August Popular Me- chanics Magazine, in an illustrated article. The columns and other plain. parts were made of marble, and the capitals and other orna- mental parts were made in terra lcotta finished in glaze to match the natural stone. There were 28 col umns used in the building and the capitals for them are the largest ever made of terra cotta. These capitals are said to have cost $l0( each, as against an estimated cost of 2,l00 each for the same work in carved marble, thus showing a to- tai saving of s56,000 on the capitals alone.
