Science and Divining Roc.

From the Baltimore sun.
The oldfashioned well-diggers who de-
pended on rod to find where they could
strike water are entitled to smile OF
satisfaction when they learn that grave
scientists are holding an international
conference on the subject. Over In Eu-
rope the OWNERS claim they are not only
able TO determine the presence of water
many feet under the ground. but can tel
where gold IS located. So, with charac.
teristic German patience, the scientists
are weighing the testimony and holding
elaborate tests, while the kaiser him
self looks on with undlsguised interest
When their report in ten or twelve vol

Burchette was fined SO and costs in the
police court on charge a having en-
gagged in "mashing. He was indignant
at his arrest, but the case was SO clear
that the police justice said that he would
do all he could to discourage the Washers.
When the fine was imposed Bu-chette at
once noted an appeal The man faced a
jury in the hustings court. Represented
by an attorney. the evidence was re-
viewed and then the jury sustained the
verdict of the police court. and evidenced
its disapproval of Washers by adding an
other $50 and costs.

RICHMOND, Va. October %, 1913.
d. H. Tolman, the king Of the money
sharks, is wanted by the officers of the
city of Richmond He Is very much
wanted. but he refuses to come back
and answer to court sentence against
him for a fine Of $500. Tolman has for
years been operating a loan Office in this
city. mulcting the poor and ignorant of
large sums of money in the way of in
terest Some five years ago the city
imposed a prohibitory tax on the loan
sharks. and Toiman fought the case to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
The ordinance of the city was sustained
In that tribunal. and when the time came
to serve the papers and processes on Toll
man or his agents the firm had closed
up shop and disappeared. Tolman was
never in Virginia, resorting to the pro-
gram Of having women operate the es-
Establishment in this city. The offense of
which he was convicted is only mis-
demeanor, not extraditable and Tolman
is safe in New Jersey New York.
There were a dozen or more of these
shops in this city. and war has been
made on them for some time, the number
being gradually reduced. SO that at this
tlfne, or up 10 a rev uOIiluS ago, lueTe
were only two or three. Tolman did more
business that all of them put together.
and he made as much as 20 per cent a
year on his loans. The man had the
nerve to go to court to seek TO enforce
the payment of his usurious charges. and
I'm every instance he succeeded In getting
the principal and legal interest. Several
times he was forced to refund the amount
in excess of the principal and interest. and
after a few contests in the courts ne
refrained from going to the courts
The legislature will at the coming ses-
sion be called on to provide statute
which will make usury a felony. and
future violations will DC extraditable
when the loan sharks undertake to do
business in this state. The license to
do business In Virginia at this time for
such business Is the same as that for
bankers, but the city made the tax Tor
loan sharks so high that they declared
they could not stand it. They are eN-
pected to retire from this field per
manentIy In the meantime the officers
are watching for Tolman to appear in

this week it creeps back again,
like the man who scratched out
