SYSTEM AT MONTE CARLO.
Wells, Accused of Swindling, Broke
the Bank Ten Times.
respondence Of The Star.
PARIS, December 3

PARIS, December 5. 1912.
Counsel for Monte Carlo Wells" the
man who "broke the bank" has told how
his client meant to procure the l per
cent per day he promised to the LOO
customers of his Rente Himensuelle in
connection with which he is accused of
wholesale Swindling.
Wells. according to his counsel, noticed
that a regular recurring series of reds
and blacks at the Monte Carlo roulette
tables hardly ever lasted beyond the
twentieth time and resolved to back the
contrary color the twenty-first time. If
he failed he doubled his stake and again
backed the contrary color and SO on until
he won.
A regular series Of red and black al
ternating twenty times very rarely hap
pened, so Wells worked out a table Of
regular alterations. such as red twice
and black once recurring in every twenty
times.
His table gave him 1890 different Sc
ries of alterations. He used to arrive at
the opening Of the rooms at Monte Carlo
with his secretaries and watch the run
of the colors. The moment he saw that
one series Of alterations indicated in his
tables had set in. the number of times 1t
came up was noted, and at Its twentieth
appearance Wells placed his money on
the contrary color to that which was due
and played until he won. This system,
he said, enabled him to break the bank
ten times and he won $4O0,OOO in 1891.
He also won 81. 600 in March last year.

essary for us to issue credits upon Lon
don instead Of upon New York"
That our defective banking laws have
been in existence for half a century, that
they still continue to exist, are matters
of wonderment throughout the civilized
world. Perhaps the simplest explanation
is that our country is comparatively so
new. With tremendous natural resources
back of us, and with unequaled enter
prise, we have gone ahead sweepingly and
regardlessly. But with all our wasteful-
ness, it is doubtful if any one extrava-
gance equals in dire results the successive
losses this country has sustained from
our periodical money panics. brought on
directly by our panic-breeding banking
system.
American Methods Anticipated.
Our present system was founded on a
war debt. 1t dates back to 1863, when
the country faced a great crisis. The
federal Treasury was empty; government
credit was gone. The temptation to use
banking for this purpose was too great to
be resisted. Perhaps 1t was excusable
then; but in neglecting revision of this
system to meet modern requirements,
what terrific price has been paid!
In framing these banking laws no
thought was had for the country's great
development in agriculture. commerce
and industry. No provision whatsoever
was made for foreign trade. In fact. the
laws forbade the establishment of Ameri-
can banks abroad. Today. as an in
stance, European banks are firmly estab-
Eshed in South America, and are actively
further.ng there the interests of Euro
pean trade. Practically all the ports of
Latin America, large or small, have them.
Yet in our own sister continent you will
not find a single banking institution bear
ing a North American name.
American banks m foreign markets
would be powerful aids to the upbuilding
OF our commerce; manifestly and for the
suhtoined reasons are they Indispensable:

One weakness Of Mellen Git has become
questionable ever to speak Of him as
Mr.. Mellen) has been shown In his irrev-
erence for the clamoring critics. When
an outsider used to jab the New Haven
railroad he got an invitation to dinner.
The Mellen way is so different-so callous
that for ten years past irate discussions
of New Haven affairs and particularly OF
always been one sided-Mr. Mellen declin-
ing to be tempted into any arguments
whatsoever-a brOadside issued at the
close Of the present week being the one
notable exception.
Meantime the New Haven road has ris-
en- to bigness and power that nowhere
aforetime was ever dreamed. When Mr.
Mellen became president the company
earnings were lmping downhill; he has
lifted them fabulously; he found tracks,
equipment and employees all strikingly
inefficient; he has pioneered in every de-
partment for betterment.
Quotation Tells the Story.
1t is easy for envy to babble hypercriti-
cally, easy for malice to peddle libels-
and sometimes it is easy equally for the
security market to yield echoes; and that
in this present instance the old hysteri-
cal rule changes is to be regarded as
wholesomely significant. New Haven's
stock market quotation is telling enough
retort. The railroad president whose
stockholders are satisfied may be ex-
cused possibly for being bit indifferen,
to yowls from elsewhere.
Market elements are so hedged about
by sensationalism just now that forecast
is difficult-yet two forceful factors are
clearly disclosed. One is that the pub.
tic still stays absolutely unresponsive to
every invitation that Wall street issues;
| the other is that though Wall street is
one day bullish and the next day bearish
willing for a passing petty profit to be
anything. affect any attitude. the country
as a whole grows constantly stronger
| and stronger, more and more independ-
| ent of centralized acknowledgements
crops commanding satisfactory prices
local capital profiting, factories busy
| labor satisfied. Upon the New York
Stock Exchange is displayed the only
| blue spot in the land There one trouble

FARMERS GIVE AID
TO GOOD ROADS PLAN
Advocates Point to Fact as
Sign of Ultimate
Success.

| That the movement for federal partici
patton in highway construction is not
confined to motorists, but is also being
! agitated by the farmers. is one of the
| most hopeful indications of it's ultimate
, success.
| On this point the recent convention OF
| the National Grange, Patrons of Hus-
bandry, the oldest and most Influential
of the farmers organizations, took a de-
c!dedly favorable stand. Oliver Wilson
/ master of the National Grange, in his
annual address stated:
| THE public highway is a matter OF
general concern. The old idea that the
country road should be constructed anC
| maintained by the farmer has disappear.
| ed. 1t is now recognized that good roads
are of as much Importance to the con
sumner as to the producer, as anything
that lessons the cost of transportation Is
a benefit to the consumer.
| The grange stands for and advocates
federal aid for road improvement. There
can be no good reason why the govern
ment should not appropriate money FOL
| the maintaining and the improving of the
! public highway, the same as for our pub
| lie water works. Seventyfive per cen
i of the product of our country must pass
| over the public highway before 1t car

| ter systems. While the government has

larly interesting have been the responses

national Congress to the request Of the
A. a. A. for expressions from them OF
| their views on the subject of national
roads.
Formerly the railroads forced a local

highways possible at a high rate OF

II believe that federal aid should con-
template cooperation with the states,
and such concentration of money spent
