FrankIin's Will Cuts
Off His Son William

PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-All con
troversies as to the disposition Of the
estate of Benjamin Franklin have beer
settled by the restoration of the manu-
script Of his will by the Historical So

which was recently resurrected from q
vault under the city hall to verify ar
office copy, was found to have dete-
riorated so much that restoration was
necessary.

of the great man, from his own de.

bequest. His son, William. once gov

ECONOMIST GIVES
REVIEW OF THE
TARIFF BILL

A clear review of the status OF the
Underwood tariff bill and the gauntlet
ii will have to run before reaching
the president Is given in the Ameri-
can Economist which has inst
reached Honolulu. The following ar
ticle is taken from it:
The Underwood tariff bill as II has
emerged from the senate caucus diff
fers In many particulars from the bill
as il passed the house Generally
speaking, the changes are in the di.
rection Of lower duties. The average
reduction of rates, as compared with
the house bill, is estimated at 10 per
cent Practically all these changes
are tentative. The bill has yet to run
the gauntlet Of open debate in the
senate, with the likelihood Of numer.
GUS amendments. Then, in the event
OF inconvenience by the house, II
goes to conference committee,
where again, many changes are prob.
able,
Among the amendments voted in
the senate caucus Is a provision that
the reduced tariff on sugar shall not
become effective until March i, 1914,
while, as In the house bill, free trade
in sugar takes place May /, 1916. All
food animals, such as cattle, sheep
and hogs, along with all meats, are
placed on the free, list In the house
bill duties we're retained on the live
animals, while the meats were ad.
mitted free of duty. The senate bill
places wheat on the free list and also
wheat -four, except -four coming from
countries which impose duties on
American -four.
The foreign manufacturers, Inn
porters and customs brokers were
successful in persuading the senate
finance committee to modify greatly
and in some instances altogether
strike out the very excellent customs
administrative provisions Of the house
bill. Should the senate changes be
adopted, the way to undervaluations
and other forms of customs fraud will
be made much more easy

SOUTHERN india PLANTERS To
HOLD VERY IMPORTANT Meeting

Planters of southern India are to
meet at Bangalore, Mysore. India, on
August 10th, at what is said TO be one
of the most important meetings ever
held by the United Planters Associ-
alton. Chiefly are they to meet To
discuss the question of the use OF
more modern and labor-saving ma
chinery and implements in the agri-
culture Of, mainly, rubber, coffee and
tea.
Consul Henry d. Baker. in special
service in India, has called attention
10 the meeting in late consulate re.
port. The following is taken from his
report:
"An important meeting is to take
place to discuss chiefly the question
0f the larger use of machinery and i'm
plements to save labor cost and in
crease efficiency of production. The
necessity Of such discussion has been
prompted chiefly by the increasing
cost and scarcity of labor. due to emf
grafton to Ceylon and the Federated
Malay States, which have been main
tanning active agencies in southern In
ola for recruiting labor for their plan
tations.
1.-The secretary of the United Plant
ors' Association FLETCHER Eorton)
stated to me that he is endeayoring to
collect ali the information possible
concerning labor saving machinery
and devices for presentment at the
meeting, for consideration and dis
cussion by the delegates. He suggest;
that American manufacturers might
be willing to send to him for such pur
POSES catalogues and other informa
ton concerning labor-saying appli
ances, and II so, he would be very
glad to receive them and refer them tc
the delegates who attend.

American manufacturers respond
promptly to this suggestion, to have
the desired data on hand before the
meeting occurs. The United Planters

LEAVE GREENBAcKS
OUTSTANDING. SAYS CLEWS

Suggestions to be acted on. as q
substitute for the currency bill now
pending before congress, are made by
Henry Clews in his late financial bnl.
letin. He would let the greenbacks
remain outstanding, and the same
with the national bank bills, and he
would also extend the reserve fund
law. He believes that with his sug.
gestions carried out the country
would receive all that. is needed In
the way Of currency reform.
He says:
"Now that the currency bill is be-
fore the. public. l should like to make
these Suggestions as amendments,
which firmly believe would be sat
isfactory solution of the banking pro-
blem: Let the greenback bills remain
outstanding. their present amount be-
ing over 100000. Let the ma
tional bank bills also remain outstand-
ing. their present volume being about
100000, 900. AS the latter are back
ed by the government per cent
bonds, this action would keep those
issues at par. If 1t were known that
they we're not to be disturbed. This
would give stability to our govern
ment bonds, which, owing to their cir
culation privileges, give the United
States the highest apparent credit of
any nation in the world, although
British Consols have long been con-
sidered the premier security.
Still it must be remembered the
latter carry no privileges and sell
strictly upon an investment basis. In
order to provide for much needed
elasticity the $500 700 900 reserve fund
law should be extended, making such
required amendments as would be ne
cessary to allow an increase or de-
crease of currency according to re-
qufrements. Were these ideas car
ried out in an effectual manner the
country would receive at the present
time all 1t needed in the way of cur
rency reform; at least until a thor
oughly satisfactory currency bill
could be devised and passed, which
may cause long delay to the detriment
of business undertakings on large
scale"

TITLES in MARKET
At BARGAIN-DAY

Although foreign countries do not
openly advertise their readiness to do
business with those who aspire to af-
fix handle to their names. the fact is
generally recognized that a consider
able traffic in titles is carried on.

which does a roaring trade In titles

An idea of the traffic done in titles
may be gathered from the fact that a

out a circular marked Private and

orders and decorations required.

PAPAYA TREE And

The fruit of the papaya tree has

Among orientals, particularly II
South India and Ceylon, the digestive
qualities of the papaya are so wei
known that the fruit is almost uni
versally used, and undoubtedly with
great effect in preventing dyspepsia
The Garcia papaya grows largely in
Ceylon, India, the East and West In
dies, and the Hawaiian Islands, and
seems to prefer a slightly sand soil
that is not too rich. The tree attains
a height of 20 to 80 feet. and its broad

of the tree. The fruits resemble small
muskmelons in size, shape, and ap

They are green when unripe, greenish
yellow when ripe, with rich yellow
flesh, and contain in their hollow In
terror hundreds of small, round black
seeds with flavor somewhat like
nasturtium seeds. The flavor of the
fruit in the best papayas Is much
like that of q sweet but rather insipid

From the fresh milky juice that ex

itself papain is obtained.
There are several varieties of Carica
papaya, and the papain derived from
the different kinds varies accordingly,

trees Of the Ceylon hybrid papawa
The papain obtained from the West

The digestive and disintegrating
