APOPlEXY TAKES
FIGURE WIZARD
LIGHTNING CALCULATOR WHO
NAMAzED WORLD, FIGURES"
HEAVENS GIFT. NO EDUCATION.

Kansas City, Nov. 3O.-Rcuben
Field, whose phenomena, powers as
rapid calculator haze puzzled ex-
pert mathomlpiaans from III parts Cf
the country, died today from apoplexy
at the Jackson county farm, where he
had been cared for since 1897. He was
20 years old. Fields brain power ran
to figures alone. Sloyenly in his per
sonal habits without ambition for
worldly progress and always depend
ent upon others for the care that pre-
served life, he regarded his mathe-
matical powers as the gift of God that
would be taken from him if be turn
ed it to worldly gain.
He was unable to read or write,
but given the distance by rail be-
tween two cities and the dimensions
Cf car wheel, he would tell an in
quisitor how many revolutions of the
wheel would be required 10 cover the
distance almost before the statement
Of the problem was complete 1t was
said of him that he could tell the ex-
act time at any hour without hest
taton and without reference to clock,
sun or other outside agency.
Value as An InVoicer.
On several occasions Field had con-
sented reluctantly to aid in making
invoices in stores at Independence,
near the county farm, A clerk would
read off the number of yards Of goods
in the belt, the price per yard, until
he had covered the contents of a
shelf, after which Field would tell
him instantly the total value Of the
lot.
a promoter once obtained Fields
consent to appear on a stage in In
dependence. Before introducing the
prodigy, the manager felt it neces- !
sary to explain that Field while with |
out parallel as a mathematician, was
a little foolish" in other matters. |
the introduction from the
wings, Fields rushed on the stage
with the explanation; I'm not a fool
You're fool yourself
He then ran from the house and
could never again be induced to ap-
1ear before the public.
Field never would go to school He
always said he feared attendance at I
school would make him "as big
DOL as most other people" No ex-
llanations could ever be drawn from
'ield as to how he worked his prob
ems, Nor would he say whether he
,ept his system secret or whether
lie simply could not explain it. He
vas born in Bath county, Kentucky,
'ut had spent most of his life in
Western Missouri.

LOAN SHARK SENTENCED.
Must Serve Six Months for Charging
200 Per Cent Interest.

200 Per Cent Interest.
New York, Nov 3O.-Daniel II. Tol-
man, king OF the loan sharks must
serve six months in the penitentiary
for usury. In so deciding today the
appellate division upheld the lower
court which imposed sentence.
Tolman based his appeal on the
ground that the act of usury was
committed by a woman employe with
out his knowledge or consent. The
court held, however, that in charging
200 per cent interest on a loan she
acted in behalf of her employer and
to his advantage and that he there
fore was bound by her act.
Tolman formerly operated a string
of money-lending shops throughout
the country.

Will Hurt Only the Transgressor.

Trenton, N. J.-"Honest business
and honest business men have nothing
to fear" is the assurance which Pres
ident-elect Wilson gave Thursday in
a lengthy statement explaining the
enactment into law of the seven anti

Those who would engage in the
heartless practices OF running rivals
and filching from the pockets of the
people more than they ought reason
ably to demand says the governor,
are the only ones who will have
cause to regret the enactment of these
measures. I predict that under them

Machine, But No One Injured.

London.-The country residence OF
chancellor OF the Exchequer David
Lloyd-George at Walton Health was
practically destroyed Wednesday
morning by bomb, which the police
say was placed there either by mill
tant suffragettes or their male SYM
pathizers.
Lloyd-George himself Is on a motor
trip in France. The Internal machine
was so powerful that the thick walls
of the house split in all directions. and
most OF the rooms were wrecked.
Two seven-pound cans of black
powder also had been placed in two
separate rooms among heaps OF wood
shavings which had been saturated
with oil, and in the center of which
burning candles had been fixed.
1t is declared by neighbors that an
automobile containing several women
passed through the village in the early

Mexico City.-The activity of the

against the new administration. A
small force of rebels was reported
Thursday in the neighborhood OF the
capital and government troops were
sent out against them.

ed by the ex-governor of Hidalgo. AL
though willing to come to reasonable
terms with the rebels, the new admin
istration is determined to use the
army for the suppression of independ-
ent anarchistic bands which have
hitherto counted on the support OF
those whose sole object was the re-
moval of Francisco Madero
1t is reliably reported that Alberto
Fuentos Do. governor of Aguas Cali
entes, and Venustiano Carranza. gov
ernor of Coahuila. will refuse to recog-
nize the new government, and that
President Huerta is planning to send
troops to those states.
General Huerta was on the point of
permitting Madero and Suarez. de-
posed president and vice-president. to
leave the country, but was counseled
to delay action by close friends. who
considered 1t probable that Madero
would use his freedom to hatch new
plots.
The provisional president declared
he would place the case of Madero be-
fore the cabinet ministers Immediately
after they were sworn into office.
There appeared strong probability
that the appointment of a lunacy COM
mission TO examine him would be
urged as a solution.

KUEHNLE READY TO
SERVE HIS SENTENCE.
Former Republican Leader of Atlantic
City, N. j., Finds Appeal Is
Useless.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov. 26.-
Louis Kuehnle, former Republican
leader of Atlantic City, surrendered to-
day to Public Prosecutor Moore and
announced that he was ready to serve
the sentence of one year in prison
and pay fine of $500 imposed upon
him more than two years ago. Kuehnlc
was found guilty of being 7unlawfully
and corruptly interested and directly
concerned in the awarding of con
tract for costly water main while
nc was member Of tho Atlantic City
board Of water commissioners. He was
sentenced in July, 1911, but the case
was carried from one court to another
on the plea that the elisor-drawn jury,
which indicted him, was unconstitu-
tional.
When the court of errors and ap
pcals, the highest in the state, affirmed
the decision of the lower court last
Monday, the former political leader an
nounced that he would carry his case
to the United States supreme court.
His counsel. however, pointed out that
this would be hopeless move, as that
court had recently declared its lack of
jurisdiction in similar case from this
state.
KuehuIe probably will begin his
prison term within ten days. Already
influences are al work in an effort to
secure his pardon.

LITTLE CHANGE IN
STRIKE SITUATION
Fifteen Thousand Employees of the
General Electric Company at Sche-
nectady, N. Y, Remain Out.

SCHENECTADY, n, Y, Nov. 90
There was no appreciable change in
the relative positions today between
the General Electric company and the
$4,000 of its employees who walked
out Tuesday morning. A series of
conferences tonight between the repre-
sentatives of the various unions i'm
plicated In the walkout resulted in no
developments, although statement
was issued reviewing the trouble from
the standpoint of the men The leaders
claim many additions to their ranks as
the result Of picketing today. More
pickets will be employed tomorrow.
The announcement that State Com
missioner Of Labor James NJ Lynch
would try personally to bring the com
pany and employees together was re-
celved with little interest on the part
of the men. At the same time the
suggestion that the whole force be en-
ployed on part time until business con.
ditions are better gained in favor
among the employees
The officials of the company made
no effort today TO bring about An adj
justment. Notices were posted at the
big plant notifying the employees they
would be paid their previous week e
salary friday afternoon.
