PLAN BIG GOLD VAULTS.
Assay Safes In New York Will Have
Capacity For $4,000 100000.

Assay Safes In New York Will Have
Capacity For $4,000, 100000.
Secretary MacVeagh has had plans
drawn for an immense vault system
for safeguarding the billions Of gold
that the United States government
has on deposit during the year. These
vaults will be constructed in the front
part Of the Assay building in New
York city and will be five stories deep,
being built under ground and reached
by elevators.
1t is expected that the greater part
Of the space in which these vaults will
be constructed will be blasted out of
solid rock. The vaults alone will cost
$4,000, and for the whole construc-
ton, including the additions to the AS
say building, congress has allowed for
use this year $220,O0O. The vaults will
have capacity for $2,OOO,OO0,OO0 Of
gold bullion or coin and will be the
largest in the world. The United States
treasury buys gold annually to the
amount Of $1,0O0,OOOO and it is de-
posted all over the country in SUBJ
treasures, minis and assay Offices.
There is apprehension that in few
years the storage capacity of these
various Offices will be crowded, and
Secretary MacVeagh has decided to
anticipate the need Of one great central
strong storage place. If the necessity
should arrive as the secretary foresees
it the time will come when gold bull
lion in bright yellow bricks will be
piled up like so many cords Of brick
down five stories in the assay Office to
an amount greater than may be found
IN any one place in the world.
The secretary says that there is no
Intention to depart from the present
practice of distributing the storage of
gold in all parts Of the country.

TRAIN 1000 FEET LONG.
Three Engines Needed to Draw 1873
Coal Cars.

Three Engines Needed to Draw 1873
Coal Cars.
Unique in the history Of railroading
are the tremendous trains that have
recently been made up on the Lehigh
Valley railroad. Some time ago a
train of lis cars Of coal, bound for
the Bethlehem Steel works, created
wonderment. Since then the trains
have constantly been growing larger.
A new record was made when a
train of 1873 coal cars moved westward
from the Perth Amboy docks for the
Mahoning yards to be distributed to
the mines. The train was 1000 feet
long, or more than a mile and a quar-
ter, and was drawn by two locomo-
tives, third pushing. It is said the
trains are so large because trainmen
are scarce.

NEW HERB KILLS MOSQUITOES
Sprig of 1t Will Drive Them From a
Room.

A strange new plant from Liberia
promises to become boon to New Jer-
sey and all other places where people
are bitten by mosquitoes. 1t is called
ocinum viride.
The Essex county mosquito extermi-
nation commission Of New Jersey has
obtained some Of the seed Of this plant,
and after it has made some expert
ments in growing it will distribute it
throughout the country.
1t is said that if the merest sprig of
the plant be nurtured in room no
mosquito will attempt to enter it, and
one strong stalk on a porch will keep it
clear Of the pests.
According to Stewardson Brown.
curator Of the herbarium of the Acad-
envy Of Natural Sciences Of New York,
The plant is native Of western Africa.

said, "and the plant is said to possess
certain curative qualities. Over there
In Liberia the natives consider it q
panacea for all ills. They use it as a
remedy for bites, for sprains and even
for internal diseases.
"A man in New York tried to grow it
some time ago in that section of the
city known as the Neck but he did
not succeed. It will probably grow in

by itself and is quite abundant.
LAS 1 recall it, it has the qualities
that would tend to drive the mosquito
away. The odor is similar to that II
pennyroyal and is not at all unpleasant
TO human beings. Perhaps it is not an
important plant as yet, but it is quite
likely to become one later"

ward Strengthening out the tangle may
be taken while Mr.. Knox is in direct
touch with the eastern situation.
When Viscount Chinda, Japanese
ambassador to washington, heard of
Secretary KnOx's mission he asserted
1t would be taken by the japanese peo-
pie and government as an act of the
greatest courtesy and one calculated to
| make even warmer and more cordial
the existing relations between the two
governments.
Secretary Knox and his party will
sail from Seattle on the armored cruis-
| er Pennsylvania. The ship will steam
direct to Yokohama, and the passage
| will probably take about eighteen
days. The voyage is about 1900 miles.
Brigadier General John J. Pershing,
commanding the department of Min
danao, Philippines, has been assigned
as military attache of the embassy and
will join Secretary Knox in Yokohama.
The official program for the funeral
Of Emperor Mutsuhito, who died on
July 80, is as follows: The services are
to begin at 6 o'clock in the morning on
Sept. 10, when the Emperor Yoshihito
and the empress dowager will be pres
ent. At o'clock in the evening Of the
same day the elder statesmen, the
peers, all the high officials and the
foreign representatives are to assem-
bic at the palace, from which the pro-
cession will start at 8 o'clock.
Emperor Yoshihito will not join the
Aoyama parade ground.
The line of the procession, which will
be very long, is to be interspersed with
musicians, torch bearers and officials
carrying emblems, while many priests
will also participate.
The coffin containing the body of
Emperor Mutsuhito is to be drawn by
team Of oxen. The entire route is
to be lined by soldiers of the regular
army.
Immediately after the arrival of the
procession at the Aoyama field the fu-.
neral service will begin and will COM
prise the full and imposing Shinto

will personally read a tribute to the
dead monarch, and this will be follow
ed by another read by the empress
| dowager, who will be succeeded by
the ministers Of state and others, the
musicians meanwhile continuing to
play funeral airs.
At the conclusion Of this service the
imperial train is to start for Kioto,
but Emperor Yoshihito and the en-
press dowager will not travel by it.
The train is scheduled to arrive at the
station especially built at Momoyama
at $40 p. m. on Sept. II, and a similar
procession to that arranged from the
palace to the Aoyama parade ground
will follow. Various tributes to the
late emperors memory will be read
beside the tomb.
Further services are to be held on
Sept. Is, and these. will conclude the
funeral ceremonies.
Prince Henry of Prussia, the brother
Of the emperor, has been selected to
proceed to Tokyo to represent Emperor
William at the funeral.

SECRETARY OF STATE KNOX
ENVOY TO M|KADO'S FUNERAL
America Will Thus Show SIG.
nal Honor to His Era
and to Japan.

L is not often that the United
States sends the premier Of the
l. cabinet to the funeral of a king.
This unusual distinction is being
shown to the dead emperor of Japan
for the double purpose Of doing honor
to that country and Of thus delicately
aVoWing our part in awakening the
Flowery Kingdom to modern civiliza-
ton. It was under the reign of the
dead monarch that Japan was trans
formed from a medieval country to
one abreast of twentieth century CIV
ilization.
Mr.. Knox's embassy will be clothed
with all the pomp possible under the
circumstances. He will be accompa-
MED by an admiral and by a general
as his aids, and his secretary will be
the present chief Of the bureau of far
eastern affairs. Mrs. Knox will also
accompany him. Personally the Sec
rotary of state has shown himself not
averse to travel. He has recently
toured Central and South America,
and he has paid a visit to Cuba and
Porto Rico. The American ambassa-
dor at Tokyo will be present at the
funeral also, and his staff will add to
the dignity and Importance of the
American representation at the cere-
monies.
With the single exception of ex-
President Roosevelts service as spe-
c1al ambassador at the funeral Of
King Edward, there is no precedent
for such an appointment as that of
Mr.. Knox. Even the ex-president at
the time Of his designation was a pri-
vate citizen, and he was also on the
point Of visiting England on his way
home from his African expedition. Or
u1narily prominent citizens of wealth
are designated to head these embas-
sizes. But in the present instance it
was decided to express friendship for
Japan by sending a member of the ad-
ministraton.
It is not believed, however, that Mr..
Knox's visit will have any bearing
whatsoever on the recent reported I'M
derstanding between Japan and Rus
STA as to the gradual partition of Man.
churia and the extension Of the Russian
sphere of influence in eastern Mongo-
liza. The United States has always
shown willingness to construe loose
ly the open door policy where that pol
icy applies to territory directly ada
cent to the two most potent nations in
the orient. And since those two ma
tons have shown that they have for
gotten their war and are at last work
Ing in harmony this country has been
more willing than ever to leave them
alone.
1t is more likely, however, that the
Chinese loan will receive some impetus
from Mr.. KnoX's visit. That loan has
been hanging fire with fuctuating
prospects ever since the overthrow of
the Chinese dynasty. The trouble has
been ascribed to various international
groups interested in obtaining the loan.
and it is possible that some steps to-

WORLDS BIGGEST |
OFFICE BUILDING /
To Rise on the Site Of the Old
Equitable.
TO Be FINISHED MAY /, 1914.


Stories and Covering Solid New
York 6Iock-More Floor Space Than
WooIworth, Metropolitan or Singer
Building.
A new Equitable is to rise in New
York on the site of the famous old
structure of that name destroyed by
fire last January. The ground has
been sold to group Of millionaires
headed by General T. Coleman du
Pont of Wilmington. DEL, who will
erect on the great area an office
building thirty-six stories high and con-
shutting through it's floor space the
largest Office building in the world.
Announcement of this was made re-
Gently by E. E. Rittenhouse. conserva-
ton commissioner of the Equitable.
He issued a statement about it con-
tanning the information that the new
owners will take possession of the
property Dec. 16 next and that the
new structure is to be ready for &C.
cupancy mot later than May l, 1914"
The price paid for the site is said to
have been in the neighborhood of
$12,00O,O0O.
500 Feet High.
The building will be about 500 feet
high and will cover the solid block
bounded by Broadway, Pine, Nassau
and Cedar streets. Alphabetically it
will resemble closely the Hudson Ter
minal buildings. so it is difficult to
compare it with other great structures
featuring ornamental towers. The
tallest building in New York-the
Woolworth-is fifty-fve stories high;
$50 feet tall. The Metropolitan tower
is fifty stories and 700 feet inches
high. The Singer building rises forty
one stories, or 612 feet 1 inch. But
not one Of these structures affords so
much room as will the Equitable.
The Equitab BILE will take space in the
building, the Cafe Savarin will be re-
incarnated in greater glory and size,
an underground restaurant and club
room will be placed invitingly, and on
the top floor one will find club quar-
tiers, law library and board rooms
for the use of tenants.
Mr.. Rittenhouse dwells upon the pro-
posed superior accommodations. Each
Office will be light and airy, and the
peculiar construction of the building
will permit the installation of so many
elevators that on dull days tenants
will almost be able to boast of having
their private cars.
The ground floor will feature the
most imposing part of the building-an
arcade the ceiling of which will be
two stories from the floor. It will be
divided by two thoroughfares-one
from Broadway to Nassau street and
the other from Pine street to Cedar.
Beneath the Broadway-Nassau thor
oughfare will be a thoroughfare lead
ing from the Broadway subway level
to Wall street.
The corporation which has taken
over the property is incorporated under
the laws of the state Of New York
and is capitalized at $12,O0O,0OO. The
officers and directors are:
T. Coleman du Pont, Wilmington.
Del, president; Frank H. Andrews,
New York, vice president; l.. L. Dun
ham, Wilmington, Del, secretary and
treasurer; William A. Ulman, general
counsel; Paul E. Wilson, Wilmington,

Nearly Complete Returns Show That

Negligible Factor.

Newark, n. j., May 29.-Colonel
Roosevelt, Republican, and Governor
Wilson, Democrat, were the overwhelT
ing winners in the New Jersey Pri-
maries yesterday, according to the near
ly complete returns this morning. The
Roosevelt victory was clean sweep,
as the colonel apparently will have every

Chicago convention.
In the preferential vote Colonel Roose-
velt's plurality is fully 10000 over Taft.
The latter showed his greatest strength
in the farming districts. The vote for
Senator La Toilette was a negligible
factor, and the vote in general was ex-
ceedingly light.
Governor Wilson's triumph was only
a trihe less complete than that OF RoOse-
welt, as he lost but four out of the
% delegates to the Democratic national
convention in Baltimore. The opponents
of Wilson had to be satisfied with the
strong showing they made in Essex coun-

Mrs. Amos Hall Victim of An Enraged
Cow To-day.

Mrs. Amos Hall, who lives on the east
hill. suffered severe injuries this morn
ing. when an enraged COW knocked her
over as she went to the yard to feed
the animal. Mrs. Hall was rendered un-
conscious for few moments and she
had not regained her senses when her
husband rushed to the yard and carried
her into the house. DIR. +. Y. 2. Archam-

sponsible for the accident was eonsid-
cred to be one of the mild hammered

that her sudden fit was brought about
by the weather
