SECRET WIFE OF
FARMER MISSING
She Is Rich, While He, Until
Wedding, Was Only Farm
Manager.

TRENTON, Dec. 15.-Charles H. ID.
Knowles attracted considerable atten-
ton to himself recently by publicly an
nouncing that he vas not the hired
farm manager, but the husband OF
Miss Mary d. Winner, member of an
old Trenton family. Considerably more
attention was attracted to him when 1T
became known that not only had his
wife left him, but that she had put her
brother-in-law, Albert Nelson, in
charge of her farm.
Mrs. Knowles is the daughter of the
late Rev. j. o. WINNER and grand
daughter of of the late Bishop VIM
mer. and owns the Elmwood Farm, one
of the largest in this part of the coun-
try.
Knowles does not seem to know just
what has happened to him, but Mr..
Nelson is not at all loath TO explain the
situation. Knowles formerly was man
ager for Miss Winner, but on February
16, 1910, he married his employer in
Camden. The woman's family had no
objection to Knowles.

Chicago inventor Committed to

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-An unusual

States Senator Elkins, alternately re-
ported engaged to the Due D'Abruzzi,
OF Italy, and BILLY" Hit, Of Illinois.
came to light here when Samuel B.
McHenry. a Chicago inventor, was
formally committed to the Government
Hospital for the Insane.
1t then developed that for the last
two years McHenry has made Miss
Elkins the recipient of a food of love-
laden missives, most frequently di-
rected to my Darling Angel and
most affectionate in their tone; that he
has pursued her in person with an
eccentric devotion.
1t was only when McHenry's ha-
RAISING attentions had reduced Miss
Elkins to q state of semi-terror that
the servants were instructed to have
the nyentor arrested.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia million
American dollars will be sent to Eng
land next month and handed over to
an English youth who became II years

amount, besides furnishing an annual

Edison Offers
NeW Remedy
for Trust Foil

A law prohibiting the sale of manu-
featured articles at less than cost, plus
legal interest on the investment, is
urged by Thomas A. Edison as the
most practicable plan to end disastrous
business competition. Cooperation is
needed in preference to enforced com
petition. he says, if prosperity is to
continue. Mr.. Edison Celebrates his
view in an interview ia the current
number of the Manufacturers Record.
Enforcement of such a law would be
possible, he declares, by compelling
manufacturers of the same kind OF
goods in well-defined districts to CO.
operate in the maintenance of a central
bureau that will furnish the exact cost
of production in each plant. 1t would
be illegal then for n to sell below
the average cost, plus the fair profit on
the cash outlay.

Warns Banks Against Lax Operations

CONTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
~ MURRAY has been strolling
through some of the national banks
and glancing over their stock ledg.
ers. AS result, the banks must do
little better housekeeping.
In one case the controller spent
whole day with one of the national
bank examiners in a bank in a middle
west city and personally balanced the
stock certificate book, and although
this book bore the initials of several
examiners as evidence that at differ
ent times 1t had passed through their
hands, he found in the book that some
of the certificates bore no indorse-
ments; some were indorsed, but
the signatures were not witnessed:
some were Endorsed and witnessed,
but were not Cancelled in any way, and
in almost every instance the signature
of the president and cashier on the
face Of the certificate was neither
punched out nor crossed out with ink
or any other material in any manner
whatsoever.
AS result of the controllers inves-
tigation he issued the following in
structions to all banks:
All transfers of stock should be
executed either by the stakeholder in
person or by duly authorized attorney.
