POLARITY OF THE HUMAN BODY.

Fayol, the noted French scent
list, has made the important dis
covery that the human body has
a polarity, or positive and mega
tive pole Of magnetic energy,
and has made an instrument to
measure it's force. He confirms
the previous belief that the posi-
tive pole is in the right hand and
the negative pole in the left hand,
but the reverse in the case of
left-handed persons. This force
he finds increases from rs to As,
and then declines. 1t is not per-
ceptible before 25.

PRESIDENT I'm A
STATE FIGHT

Again disregarding usage as
to the assumed neutrality of the
presidential Office in state contro-
versies and making good his pre-
vious declarations, President Will
son went home to his own state
Of New Jersey Thursday to begin
his personal fight for the jury re-
form bill. He went straight to
Newark, the Essex county home
of the Smith-Nugent bipartisan
ring, which has opposed Wilson
all along and which in his speech
he referred to as the gang"
and also as the System spelled
with a large S like a kissing,
Shiny serpent. " Wilson warned
his audience that the Democratic
party there and in the nation was
on trial, and that unless it kept it's
pledges it would lose power. He
said he was not deceived about
the election; that he knew the
country did not go Democratic,
but that it did not go Republican
because it could not tell which
kind of Republican to go. Hence
it gave the commission of reform
to the Democratic party. The
president also spoke to large
audience at Elizabeth. He strong
ly advocated the making of a
new state constitution.

DOUBLE SALARY FOR
SENATOR GOFF

WASHINGTON, May g.
After drawing salary from the
government for forty-six years,
Nathan Golf has now started in
to draw salary for 6 more years
as was forecasted in this CORES
pondence some two months ago.
Senator Golf did not resign his
judgeship but merely retired and
is now drawing pay as a retired
judge and an active senator. It
was decided today by the COM
ptroller of the treasury that SEM
ator Golf is entitled to his $1,000
a year as retired judge in spite
of the facts that he is also draw
ing $500 year as senator from
West Virginia, thus allowing him
a salary of $14, 500 which is more
than cabinet officer is paid.
The comptroller of the treasury
held that a retired judge per-
forms no judicial duty and there
fore does not hold position"
within the meaning of the statute
prohibiting a government EN-
ploye from drawing two salaries
at the same time.

BOX
OPENED BY
COMMITTEE

Last week, a committee from
the common council was check
ing the books of the city with an
effort to verify the balances
against C. Phillips and L. C. Mus
grave; they found everything in
good shape and all charges and
credits entered correctly.
For the past few weeks
search had been going to find
certain Tax Bills, Paying Receipts
and other important papers; these
last year collector, Gamer, refus-
ed to tahSGp on account of some
of them being uncollectable and
the balance "old scores" such as
Paving Bills. 1t appeared that
these papers mysteriously got out
of sight, as Recorder Stalnaker
knew nothing of them nor did any
of the city officials; finally the
chief-of-police was told that If he
could find a certain box, that this
box had papers in it that would
bring certain matter to a better
understanding. Gamer found the
box, but would have nothing to
do with it, and would not even
try to unlock it and appears he
would not tonch t, but in some
way, after it was found, it was
transferred still locked from its
hiding place to the vaults of the
First National Bank, SO when the
committee called upon Chief
Gamer, he said he knew where
the box was but had no intentions
in bothering the same: the in COM
ing recorder, thinking that the
box was not the kind of a box tobe
tamper with, left untouched, so
the committee at last insisted on
getting the box and unlocked it.
Then trouble began when the city
authorities had no key to the box,
but after some time, when key af-
ter was tried, akey was found that
unlocked the box alltho d different
key than what belongs to it.
The committee then began to
look into the box---they began to
read off Paying Bills, Tax Bills,
Sidewalk notices, Liquor Bills,
and statements Of accoun is
itemized such as the l.. G. Mus
grave balance, and other things
to numerous to mention. The
hour was growing late when the
committee found out enough to
convince them that the box was
a very important one; they had
only begun on few of the top
papers, and fearing that some
thing might turn up that would
keep them all night, they closed
the box; what is yet in that box
remains unknown and unsaid.

AVENUE DARK SPOTS" 49,
ARE NOT DISCOVERED
JuhnSon's TOur OF Thorough fare
Fails to Demonstrate Imperfect
LiEhtinC system.


Representative Ben Johnson's per-
sonally conducted inspection tour down
PENNSYLVANIA Avenue last night in
search OF alleged dark spots, where a
man fifteen feet away is invisible to the
naked eye by reason of deficient lighting,
proved a merry party. though the spots
which were being hunted were not dis
covered.
With Representative johnson, who Is
chairman of the House District Com
mittee. went Commissioner Newman,
Capt SChley, who. it is alleged" first
directed the attention of the community
to the spots, and two clerks TO the House
District Committee. \ man with dark
complexion and a dark suit was taken
along as ammunition.
The theory upon which the dark man
was taking along, according to the story
of Representative johnson, which was re-
peated from time to time along the way,
was advanced by Capt. Schley before the
House District Committee a few days
ago. This theory was to the effect that
there are several places along the Ave
nue. where people equipped with ordinary
eyesight cannot see each other at fifteen
feet distance.
The dark man was stationed at such
distances all along the Avenue, even in
the darkest places, but. with the best
wishes of would-be discOvelers all mem
bers OF the party were forced to confess
that To- was visible. Capt. Schley re-
pudiatsd his own theory.
And the party disbanded with the good
humor OF those who have tried 10 do
their full duty. but were hindered bv

CHARGES MADE
AGAINST Envoy
Secretary Of U. 5. Embassy at
Rome Accused Of Abusing
Customs Courtesies.
NOT SUMMONED HOME
Complaint Involving Post Wheeler Said
to Have Been Made by American,
Whose Name Is Withheld.
NOT SUMMONED HOME

Charges that Post Wheeler, Secretary
of the American Embassy at Rome, has
been guilty of abuses of the customs
courtesies extended to him as a member
of the American diplomatic service by
the Italian government have been pre-
sented TO the State Department. These
charges have been brought by an Ameri-
can whose name is being kept secret.
At the State Department last night II
was denied that Mr.. Wheeler had been
summoped home TO answer these charges.
It was said that the department has not
yet determined upon any course in re-
gard to the allegations against Mr..
Wheeler. They decline 10 divulge the de-
tails. An investigation, It was stated,
will certainly be made, as the depart
ment considers the charges such a seri-
Gus reflection upon Mr.. Wheeler as a
diplomatic officer that 1t feels bound TO
establish the truth about them.
Said to Have Been Common Talk.
According to the information laid be-
fore the State Department. Mr.. Wheeler's
conduct in regard TO the customs cour-
tesies allowed him by the Italian govern
ment have been common talk among the
legations of Rome for a long time. 1t
was claimed that it is the custom Of all
governments TO accord to diplomats sta
toned in or passing through their coun-
tries exemption from payment OF any
duties on whatever dutiable articles may
be in their baggage. In fact. diplomats
are exempted from the usual examina-
tion OF baggage. according to the prac-
tically universal custom. 1t is added
however. that there may have been per-
sonal animus in the charges that have
been laid before the department, and for
that reason the department is moving
slowly.
Post Wheeler was appointed to the
diplomatic service July q. 1905. after ex-
animation. His first post was that of
second secretary of the Embassy at
Tokyo. In December. 1909. he was made
first Secretary OF the Embassy at st.
