Observation-Disclosures the ways

the grafters, probably the most con-

class are those who prey on ignorance
and poverty. The Department of Jus-

A poor man who has come from the

Outstanding is that he will go by d.

agent may overcharge. This may be
called legitimate graft. as he has to
meet with competition, and the over.
charge does not amount to much. But
that Is not all. The emigrant. wheth.

other, receives his ticket; sells what

CARRIES FORTUNE TO GRAVE
French Miser Named Anglade Secretes
Wealth Under Armpits Before
Death.

A miser named Anglade, who died
at Pau recently carried part Of his for
tunue with him into the grave and hid
the balance In order to prevent any
one else using the money.
Throughout his life Anglade's only
ambition was to amass money, a Paris
correspondent Of the st. Louis Globe-
Democrat says He virtually starved
himself in order to save as much As
possible and his only fear of desth
was based on the regret that he could
not take his possessions into the rsxt
world
He steadfastly refused to Civ, his
| relatives any Information about his
| possessions and after his death his
| wife made a systematic search OF the
| house, with the result that $6.25o was
found in gold and bank notes secreteo
in out-of-the-way places.

New Naval Fighter Mighty Submarine

THE largest and most formidable
i submarine ever constructed for
the United States government will be
given a trial trip soon. If the craft
proves a success 1t will have a large
bearing on the future of the navy, will
tend to increase the Importance of
~sub-surface war vessels, and at the
same time to lessen the Importance of
the great b~attleship.
1t is the intention to cruise to New
York with the boat on her trial trip.
Later it is expected the strange craft
will be sent across the Atlantic.
Among the features Of the new sub
marine are h~ydroplanes. These cor
respond to the planes Of an a%eroplane.
They are assigned for the purpose of
steadying the boat and holding 1t even
when under the water. Another fea-
ture Is the drop keel. which weighs
several tons, and can be released in
Ease Of an accident, thus adding to
the b%uoyancy Of the vessel. On the
bottom Of the boat are wheels calcu
lated to protect the bottom when the
vessel drops down to- the bed o.
the ocean. Various other features are
important in the construction of thi.
type Of submarine. Enough storage
air is provided for 48 hours undel

the committee on appropriations, and
with that position goes a salary of

For several years she has been
rated as one of the most efficient Of

all his wealth, but when a bank clerk
presented a note for payment of a
loan promised by the miser and said
that Anglade had a document confirm
ing the transaction the widow decided
that her husband must have taken the
paper to the grave.
The grave was then opened in the
presence of a magistrate. Packets OF
bank notes and bonds, with a number
of other documents, including the one
sought for, were found under the
mans armpits.
Opportunity was taken to search q

wrapped in cotton wool.
