ECHO OF READJUsTER DAYS.
Senator Charges Accuser With Brib-
cry in Virginia.

Albany, April 9.-The senate jude
larry committee investigation of the
Kendall charges Of extortion against
Stephen J Stiwell, of the Bronx,
was halted almost iaS soon as it began
a day or two ago by the receipt OF a
letter from a Chicago man charging
that Mr. Kendall had been implicated
in another bribery o2se in Virginia.
Mr.. Kendall was, to have been the
first witness, and Edgar r. Wilson.
chief counsel for Senator Stillwe!l,
did not want him to get away from
the witness stand before being cross
examined as to the truth of the state
ments contained in the Chicago let
ter. A committee adjourned until
today without taking any testimony.
The letter which put a crjn1p IN
the proceedings came from Chicago
newspaper man, VINO said MIR. Kendall
had been arrested in Virginia on 4
charge of having offered bride 10
a State legislator for doing something
for the New York Banknote Company,
of which Mr.. Kendall is president. Mr..
Kendall later in the day gave out a
statement denying the story Of the
arrest. He said there had been trouble
over an engraving contract for the
State of Virginia, an dthat after eX-
animation by judge, he had been
"honolhbly discharged" the Judge
making the statement that it was "the
American Banlnote Company that had
given a bribe."
Richmond, April 9.-The Virginia
bribery charges in which Mr.. Kendall,
of New York, was involved in Virginia
hank back to the days of the Read
justers-back in the early eighties.
The engraving Of The bonds issued
by the Readiusters! during their re.
CINE in this state caused scanda.
of some proportions, which was in
yes igated in a perfunctory way. Tho
American Banknote Company is said
to have been involved in way, ana
Senator Kendall is also remembered
as having figured in the affair to som:
extent.
The affair occurred so long ago thai
the details are not now remembered
! by those who have followed the politi
cal affairs of The State for years.

WILL REMOVE. LEES BODY.
Hero to be Brought to Virginia ana
Buried at Lexington.

Despite the protest Of the Georgia
riatriotic societies and the Georgia
Legislature, the remains OF Light
Horse Harry" Lee, father OF General
Robert E. Lee, the Confederate mill
tarv chieftain, which have laid IN
Cumberland Island, in Georgia. Tor
nearly century, will be removed to
Virginia in May and placed in the
Lee chapel mausoleum Of the Wash

ton, beside the body of his son.
Hugh A. White, OF Lexington, a
member of the Virginia General As
semblv. who was commissioned by
thar body to arrange for the burial OF
General Lee in his native state, was
II Washington yesterday and announ-
sed that arrangements had just been
,.ompieted for the transfer of the

.:ington. Mr.. White called upon
II e-President Thomas R. Marshall
$. Il invited him to deliver the address
chen the body is reinterred at Licking
,In. The Vice-President will accept,
If possible, but gave Mr.. White no
definite promise.
For years efforts have been made by
Vi~rinians to bring to that state for
final burial the remains of Light
Hore Harry" Lee. Georgia has stead
tasty refused to give up the body
When the Virginia Legislature au-
thorized Mr.. White 10 take up the
work he found the opposition in Geor'
gia very strong. He went to Mrs. Car
negie, cousin of the steel king anc
owner of Cumberland, and obtained
her consent for the removal Of the
body. Mr.. White then obtained tho
approval of all living descendants Of
General Lee.
General Lee died at the home Of
General Greene, near Savannah, If
1916, while on his way from Bermuda
to Virginia. Owing to the lack OF
Transportation facilities the body was
buried in Georgia. The grave is we!

RApiUM FOUND IN SPRINGS
Precious Metal Said to Flow From

Richmond, April 9.-Radium exist

Mache units has been discovered in
the source Of White Sulphur springs.
according to statement issued BY
Decatur Axcil, vice president Of tbs
Chesapeakeand Chic Railroad.
DR.. George D. Kahlo, the medica'
director at the famous resort, made
,he discovery, and Mr.. Axtell, who is
in charge Of the company in direci

the Richmond expert analysis, to make
a further test OF the water. DR.. Froeh-
ling confirms the report of Dr.. kahlo
stating that the water from the
springs has marked radio-activity.
The Aiache units used in measuring
radium, bear the same relation to thai
mineral as kilowatts to electricity.
and the presence of the precious mine
raj in such quantities that it can be
measured by this system is assurance
Of the great medicinal value Of the

Value of Heart to Heart Talk.

There are few mi@understand- ings that will survive meeting and heart to heart talk.
 IL is easy to write ourselves in- to all sorts of snarls, and the more we write the worse the tan- gle uecOmeS.
 The best way to straighten it out is to arrange tu talk things over.
 When we talk what we say is explained by the expression of our faceS--it can be read in the light of the eyes and ill the smile, and we can see at once whether our meaning is made clear, or, where it is misunderstood, by the way it is received.
 When we write the words stand for themselves and sometimes a word means any one of several things. It would do us all good if we would more often go half way in frank and generous spirit to meet and shake hands and say what We really mean.
 Life is too short for misunder- standings, particularly those that a personal meeting and person. al word will brush away.

The Great Charm of Personality

why, she quite plam.
 So cried young girl on first seeing certain world- famed act ress. She expected a woman of marvellous physical beauty, and here, apparently, was an ordinary creature like herself. That was what she thought at first, but af- tier q while she began to wonder how she could ever have consid- tered her "Ordinary."
 Most women Over-estimate the Ipower of mere physical beauty and underestimate the power of personal charm.
 Personality is a power to be rrckoned with, and the possession Nnf charming manner implies he further possession of some intellectual quality. It is true that physical beauty gives mere tenn pnrary satiS faction to the eye. but it does not hold and fascinate he mind as the charm of persunal- ity does.
 Doesn't it often happen that a woman with a particularly beau .tiful face and 'snulfuI' eyes is absolutely without "charm' of iany sort? She can look charm ing, but that is all. Her physcal beauty is her only asset; and af- ter a time that begins to lose it's potency. for there is nothing be hind it.
 As a matter of fact, charm is rare. If we meet with it half a dozen times in life we may think ourselves fortunate. It is certain that Cleopatra possessed it, all the more so since modern re- search goes to prove that she was not beautiful: and it is equally certain that had she been the most beautiful of her sex and that alone, we should never have heard of her.
 Great beauty is rare, but as all things are relative in this life, it would seem that; compared to that pre-eminent power which we call charm, beauty is really but a common and every day affair.

DIAMONDS.
( By George Fitch. :

\ diamond is a chunk of high
 ly compressed prosperity, and is
 used principally to announr" the
 same.
 ] Diamonds are composed of pure
 carbon. Next tO being honest. q diamond is he hardest thing in the world. When it is found. it is rough and unattractive, and / it takes months tO grind it down in : ito a graceful shape. When dia :.
 mond is cut and mounted, it sparkles like best seller c6nverSa- tiOn. \ large diamond, worn in
 the shirt front, is beautiful or nament, and usually detracts a great deal attention from the
 plain face above it.
 Diamonds are found in South Africa and South America. The soil of the United States is not impregnated with them, but if Broadway were to be swept with a drag net at night, and the re- suits boiled down, it would yield upwards of car load of fine stones.
 The diamond is used by young ladies as an advertisement of their engagement. and nothing SO sOlidifies the love of girl for her hero as a nice carat stone in Ia ring. In some cases the more heroes she can have the better, and when she is finally married, she has barrel of souvenir rings.
 Diamonds are often indulged to excess by the very rich. A few diamonds attached to a perfect lady are all right, but when she has to wearthem in her teeth and on her ankles in order to make room, she is no better than pawnbroker's show window.
 Diamonds are often used by men as an investment. The price of diamonds is always going up, and the man who pays $350 for diamond as big as steamboat headlight, can often sell it for S45O in a few years, which is all most as good as putting money out at interest. However. dia- monds are more restless than i8-year-old daughters. and after a man has protected diamond ring and. stud from holdup men, burglars and hard times for few years, he has to give up his busi- ness and take a long rest.
 Diamonds are also used to cut glass, as we'll as wide swaths.

Would Make Floods Our Friends.

r When a man has undertaken; as. has Carroll l.. Riker, the Brook lyn engineer, job as large as that of changing the climate of the arctic and sub-arcLic regions by rearranging their ocean cur rents, including the Gulf Stream, that one task might be expected to use up all of his time and thought. Mr. Riker, however, re- cognizes no such Iinlitat ion of his enterprise and energy. and he now comes forward with another col OSSal Scheme--nOthing less than one for taking care of the Mis- sisSippi floods and making them not only harmless but helpful. Some people were rash enough to treat Mr. Riker's grave propos- al to build a dike out over the Grand Banks from Newfoundland as more amusing than impress SiVe., but those best qualified to judge it--Other engineers, that is --haN" taken it with seriousness and deny neither it's practicability of construction nor the probabil- l ity that the effects produced would be just about what the in- Ivcntor promises. As for Inc new proposition, it has as the first, and by no means weak. argument in it's favor the fact that it is ut terly different from the plan now followed--a plan known by all the experts to be wrong in principle and involving ever greater and greater catastrophes as it raises l the bed of the river ever higher and higher above the level of the contiguous lands.
 Abandoning the hopeless at tempt to keep the Mississippi at flood within the same channel that suffices for it when low, Mr. 1 Riker would let the waters spread out over regulated area some ten miles wide, thus reducing a rise of thirty feet to one of three, and would make the extension so gentle that it's only effect would be just such deposit of sediment rich in plant food as has kept up the fertility of the Nile delta since prehistoric times. Some of us have long wondered why this could not be done; Mr. Riker says that it can be, and tells how. The details of his plan, or some of
 them, have been published and need not be repeated here. It's another big scheme, but it's cer- Itainly a plausible one, and, as our interest in the Mississippi valley is greater than in the Labrador and Greenland, perhaps the New foundland jetty scheme can wait till this one has been carried out or at least subjected to the care
 full examination it seemingly de- serves
