be remembered in these exhibits that
each exhibitor shows plates of five
apples Of at least three varieties and
there are q great many different va

VARYING sizes and needed two tables
to accommodate them. Many CT the
farmers that usually enter the exhibit

corn this year was such that they
would not enter as the quality did not
suit them. and would not serve any
purpose in exhibition. A large ear

want of cooperation and hoped that a
chance to get together would be afford

PASTE DIAMOND KING is
PENNILESS ONCE AGAIN

CHICAGO, Sept. H-Louis Goldsoll,
the one-time paste diamond king who
operated 100 stores in various cities in
which every sort of cheap gem was sold.
and who is said to have left the country
in 1905 owing creditors nearly $4,000, re-
turned to Chicago yesterday. AS he IN
ished his first meal, Bailiff Scott, of the
municipal court, served notice on him
that he had been sued for $44,S75 on
note held by M. Myron Goldsoll, a cousin.
Goldsoll's career as a gem merchant
covered the United States, Canada, Eng
land, Constantinople, Cuba and Argen-
tina, while his business eentered in Chi
cago, he paid to manufacturing COM
panies in the east, chiefly in. Providence,
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually for the cheap jewels which he
distributed.
: Goldsol started stores in many cities,
and finally his string reached from
New York to San Francisco. Business
in false gems finally became dull and
Goldsoll who had started to invade
Canada with stores, started for England
to recuperate his fortune Before leav-

suit was brought yesterday by his cous-

NAVAL GUNNERs LEARN
MUCH FROM PRACTICE
Changes in Armoring War
Ships viii follow Practice
on San Marcos

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26-Lessons OF
great value to naval designers are be-
ing drawn from reports of the result
of the recent destructive firing upon
the San Marcos. which was once the
battleship Texas.
One of the most important conclu-
sions reached is that 1t is practically
impossible to protect the entire hull of
a batleship against attack by big guns.
Heretofore it has been customary to
place the thickest armor over the VI
tails of the ship and to give a less de-
gree of protection to the ends Of the
vessel by much thinner armor This
was known as the all-armored ship de-
sign.
The San Marcos tests have shown
that this thin arnor is practically use
less; that every one of the bis; shells
easily penetrated the thin arnlor ana
exploded within the ship. Thereforc
the designers have concluded to aban-
don the attempt to cover the entire
hull with armor because the weight of
the heavy armor is prohibitive.
Instead, the ends of the hull will be
left unarmored and the weight Of the
thin armor thus saved will be added to
the present armor belts and classmates
over the vitaIs and batteries, which
have been shown to be in need of con-
siderable reinforcement to keep out the
ing shells.

ALBANY BEGINS PLAN
FOR PERMANENT CHAMBER

Basis

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
ALBANY, Ga, Sept. s7.-Albany is
going to have chamber of commerce
organized on firm financial basis,
such as this city has never had be-
fore There has for years been some
sort of a trade body here, but not until
the present time has an organization
been formed that was assured or a
steady and certain income of not less
than $4,000 a year from the best bust
ness men and houses pledged to mem
900 a year. the chamber of commerce
will have sufficient income to employ
first-class up to-date, energetic secr1-
tary and have enough money besides TO
carry on the work of such a body.
At a recent mass meeting of busf-
ness men it was decided that the only
way to successfully conduct a chamber
of commerce is to first be assured of the
financial support of the business men
of this community.
1t was, therefore, decided to classify
the business houses and individual bus
mess men of the city into two classes,
A and B, to pay annual dues of $50
and SIS respectively A board of III
rectors of nine members was elected as
follows: j.. A. Davis. president; L. J.
Hofmayer, G. w. Rawson, w. NJ Legg,
j. w. Walton, Sr, j. E. Toole. T. NJ.
L -cknor, Joseph Ehrnch and the mayor
of Albany, at present Mr.. n. +. Tiff.
These directors divided their number
into three committees of three each and
started out to make a thorough canvass
Of the city. Already they have secured
more than 125 members and subscrip-
tons to the membership fee list total
ing over $4,000. They expect to go
&C --siderably above the $4,000 mark pc
fore ~ney finish their work. They find
the business men enthusiastic over the
reorganization plan believing that it is
ne only proper and businesslike way to
conduct an organization of this kind.
