MADE SILVER COINS
DURING SPARE HOURS
London Manufacturer and Son
Now Face Charges by Eng

Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, August ia pipe manufac-
turer and silversmith named Albert j.
Pritchard, and his son, George Pritchard.
both of whom live at a tobacconist's shop
in Cheetham Hill road, Manchester. have,
1t is alleged. been manufacturing silver
coins to make up for bad trade. They
were up for examination today.
A sllversmith pronounced the coins to
be made OF real silver, but said there
was a slight defect in the Roman f1gur-
ing. In his opinion they had not been
through the mint.
The elder defendant, according to a
detective. made the following statement:
Coins Made From Die.
Il manufactured the coins myself ow-
ing to bad trade, and /, being a silver
smith, thought there was profit to be
made out OF it. From what i have read
they are real standard coins which ]
made with a die. Only myself and my
son We're concerned in making them dur
ing the past two years.
The fraud was discovered owing to the
large number Of forms and half crowns
reaching the Bank Of England in Man
chester. The bank officials investigated
the matter and a raid on the defendants $
shop resulted in the discovery OF a large
number of unfinished coins.

An inventor claims he can produce a
chemical fog that will have all the un-
pleasant properties of the real thing
He has in mind the valuable use to which
this man-made fog could be put in time

can be thrown about an enemy's fleet,
for instance. it would render the might
lest battleships helpless as painted
hulks. With the fog closing thickly
about them. unable to move for feal oi
colliding with their brother ships, their
guns rendered useless because no target
could be seen. the finest squadron that
ever sailed the seas would be as harm
less as a fishing feet Off the Newfound-
land banks
Added to this helple.leless would be the
danger from submarines, because a. sub
marine takes no serious account of fogs
but feels Its way around as 1t were, in a
If the inventor really can produce a fog
of sufficient dimensions to enveiop a bat
tie fleet he can take credit for putting a
complete quietus on one of the most I'm

ing the longest stride toward interna-
tional peace that has been taken

THE S0UTH'S PROSPERITY.
Calculating Effects of the Promised
Big Cotton Crop.
Ey.ninr Dncf

From the New York Evening Post.
Such prospect has never before been
faced by the belt. New problems will
come with its realization. though they
VIII hardly give concern or lessen the ex-
pected wave of prosperity that now seems
sure. During the past two years when
prices were nearly Is cents average, won

growing of cotton Profits were un-
precedented. although in both years the
producer failed to get as large a proper
tion as he might have had II he had
known what was to happen later. Acre
age both years was as large as could
well be planted for nature Is the chief
arbiter Of how much is seeded to cotton
1t was the unfavorebleness of the sea-
sons that kept the WELD from being large
enough to fill all trade requirements. But
ample compensation was afforded In the
high prices, and the crop of 1910 was
sold for approximately one billion dollars.
including all the by-pFooucts. The effect
of this was to enhance land values and to
turn attention to cotton growing as never
before was the case. The tide was turned
back to the farm in many sections
and the attention of foreign capital was
attracted to the belt as a better place for
raising cotton than Africa other lands
These extreme prices We're severe OH
the manufacturing section of the trade,
and played havoc with their dividends
and profits, while cutting down Consump-
tion considerably 1t was thought new
era had been entered into. and talk of fif-
teen-cent cotton as fixture was heard in
many directions. Present indications are
that the tide has turned. and during the
ehb the consumers are going to have an
inning. although it is only the most eX-
treme bear who talks of the price going
under 10 cents and staying there. The
revulsion following the long season OF
high prices has followed very quickly
upon the increasing assurance of a crop
ample for all needs. and values have
crumbIed without arousing any resistance

sert that the south has never shared SO
fully i'm the speculative profits of de-
cline for sentiment has been largely
bearish throughout the season. though
temporarily disturbed during the early
part of the summer when 1t looked as
il heat and drouth were going to materi-
ally reduce prospects.
Now that prices are down to about II
cents, and are not very steady at that
level. there is a disposition to hesitate
and await developments. Conservative
opinion is that the decline has gone far
enough until the big crop is more OF
certainty and the attitude OF the consum-
ing world can be better ascertained. 1t Is
recognized that If political troubles con-
tinue to unsettle business and delay the
resumption OF business along normal
lines the spinners will not take hold and
buy literally or with confidence. But
such a contingency Is not looked for. and
the demand is expected to assume large
dimensions after the market gets to
level that promises TO be stable and the
crop really begins to move in volume.

PRIEST KEPT SECRET
NAME Of HIS SLAYER
Mystery Surrounds Shooting
in Rectory of Church of
Little French Village.
Special Cablegram to The star.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
PARIS. August ia mysterious trag-
edy has occurred in the little town Of
Saint-Severin. near Angouleme where a
parish priest, the Abbe Guibault was
shot in his own rectory, and died after
refusing to tell the name of the person
who shot him.
The Able Guibault had been some
twenty years in the parish, and was
liked and esteemed by all his parishion-
ers- He lived alone in the rectory, and
Wednesday morning had been receiving
number Of callers. At noon he went
to his room to rest himself, when there
was another call.
Met Man in Vestibule.
He got up and went down the stairs
that led to the vestfbue which was dark
because the house door was shut. when
he was suddenly fired on by some one
with gun and wounded under the jaw
The shot was heard by a number OF
neighbors, who hurried to the house The
priest came stumbling out Of the vesti-
bule, walked few steps In the yard
and then fell on the gravel. AS he was
being raised up he said that the man who
shot him was still in the house. Il par
don him, he added, but this was all that
could be obtained from him.
In spite of al medical attendance, the
priest soon succumbed, and, although he
could have given the name of his ag-
gressor, he refused to do SO.
Neighbor Recognized Gun.
A gun was found in the restibule. and
a neighbor at once recognized 1t as his
own. He was astonished and wondered
how 1t had been stolen from him. His
garden adjoins that Of the priest, and
he usually kept the gun loaded in a
little shed. The man who took 1t must
have known this. and 1t was easy to
walk from one garden into the other, as
the gate was never closed. The men
probably closed the house door behind
him on purpose, and waited with his gun
at the foot Of the stairs, then fired at
the able almost pOint-blank.
Not the. slightest trace of his identity
has yet been discovered, and the tragedy
is shrouded in the deepest mystery.

Wales Not Coming Soon.

There is the highest authority for con-
tradicting the rumor that the Prince OF
Wales will visit New York when he en-
barks upon one OF the battleships of the
home fleet for a short cruise in the au-
tumn. Such statement carries its own
contradiction upon the face Of it.
In the first place the home fleet never
leaves European waters and there is no
intention Of departing from this custom.
In no sense of the word is this to be
treated as pleasure cruise for the
prince.
Later. as was arranged some time ago,
the Prince OF Wales and Prince Al
bert will take a prolonged tour and when
this takes place there Is a great probabil-
ity that the United States will be visited
by their royal highnesses. No prepara-
tions however. have been made for this
at the moment. and II is hardly likely to
take place before 1913 at the earliest.
The princes forthcoming cruise Will
last for about a month or a little longer.
