cAvATIoN WORK.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 27.--
A silver dollar bearing the date OF
1904, highly priced by numismatists
and understood to be quoted at $500
for collection purposes, was found
here today.
Vim. Sullivan, a laborer, excavating
on the site Of the new ice rink for
the Yale hockey team, turned over
with his shovel an old jar which rest
ed on boulder seven feet below the
surface of the stree nearby. Under
the bowl was a A snuff box, made

Grocery and Fruit Trade Expected to
be Normal by the First Of

Eggs continue high here, almost as
high as they are in Nashville, and
with a decline in New York it is a
question whether this high level will
be maintained much longer. Poultry
and other elements of the produce
market are in a waiting attitude.
1t is said that old corn is about ex-

by the first of next week that condi-

MAURY FOUNTAINS
REALIZING VALUES
OF FARMING LANDS
MANY HAVE SOLD AND FOUND
THEY COULD NOT REPLACE
FOR SAME MONEY.
TRANSFERS NOT so LARGE
The Falling OF Is Supposed to BE
Attributable to the Fact That the
Advance In Prices Has Caused a
Declsin to Hold.

The real estate transfers for Maury
county for the year 1913 is $4,000
short OF what they were for the year
1912. This, ohwever, is not to the
discredit, but rather to the credit OF
values here. Those who own the
farms are growing less inclined to
part with them, and the prices have
gone forward with amazing regulari.
ty. Prices now are much stronger
than they were year ago. Only re-
Gently a man placed farm on the
market at $4,000, which had cost
him only $4,000 less than year ago,
and then moved to the farm and In
tends to operate it himself. This is
My one instance to show how and
why the transfers are short of the
receding year.
Many farms In the county are now
valued at firm rs to so per cent more
than they were five to ten years ago.
and some can't even be bought at
that advance, and many have sold
and found that they could not replace
for the same money.
The figures for the years 1912 and
1913 follow by months:

WAITS
COMING OF LIND
MUCH SECRECY MAINTAINED
CONCERNING THE VISIT OF
THE ENVOY.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, Jan. L.
President Wilson did not sacrifice
his program of nine hours sleep to
the custom observed by thousands
throughout the country of watching
the old year pass. He went to bed
early, as usual, and hoped to get a
good nights rest before his confer.
ence with John Lind, who will report
in full his observations during six
months in Mexico.
The entire affair is cloaked in deep
mystery, every effort being made to
keep secret all phases of Mr.. Lind's
arrival or departure. After the Pres.
ident had played his usual game of
golf, he met Representative Harrison
on the links, and the latter carried a
message to the commander of the Wi.
mona, which was lying off the pier at
Gulfport. Immediately the little ves-
sci turned her PROV to sea and was
cruising about near Ship Island, eight
miles due south Of here. Mr.. Har,
rison said he was unable to talk about
the incident. At the Presidents cot
tage it was said that the President
had not decided what he would do
tomorrow, and that he would await
word of the sighting Of the Chester
before making up his mind.
It is apparent here that the Presi-
dent desires to have Mr. Lind avoid
publicity in connection with his visit
here, and there is good cause for the
belief that the original plan was not
to divulge Mr.. Lind's destination
when he lefe Vera Cruz.

APPEARS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS
MYSTERIOUS AS EVER
TELLS STRANGE STORY OF HOW
HE WALKED ALL NIGHT
AND DAY.
CIRCUMSTANCES NOT in ACCORD
Appears to Be Rather Reticent About
Explanations, But ls Going About
Duties in Usual Way Today-No
New Developments.

After all day suspense on the part
Of relatives, officers and interested
friends regarding his disappearance
of Ulna Whitaker he appeared on the
streets Wednesday between and 6
p. m. as mysteriously as he disap-
peared. No form of inquiry has been
able to elicit from him any reasona-
BILE story Of his disappearance, and
really there is as little known today
as yesterday, excepting that he was
unframed.
His story is that the horse got away
from him at the postoffice and that
he walked all night and all day, 60
ing almost to Pottsville, distance
of twelve miles, looking for the horse
and buggy. He stated also that he
went to the Whitaker home, went to
his room where his brother was
sleeping and put on another suit Of
clothes over the ones he was wear
ling, and he did have on two suits of
clothes. But his story that he tied
the horse and it broke loose at the
postoffice is not corroborated by 9TH
Ter circumstances. The horse was
mot tied when seen there a few min
utes before 9 o'clock, nor was the
young man in sight; neither did the
lines bear out this statement, as they
were carefully wrapped around the
whip. That he did the walking he
claims is highly improbable, as his
shoes were free from mud and were
much cleaner than many who had
been in town and about their offices
during the day.
At the hour mentioned it was re-
ported that the young man had been
seen at the depot and few minutes
later he was at the Bethel House.
From there he was carried to the
court house where his father and 9th
ers personally anxious about his safe
| ty were in waiting. From there he
was taken to the Office Of DR.. ]. G.
Williamson where he was closely
questioned as to his whereabouts dur.
ing Tuesday night and Wednesday.
He was also examined by DR.. viii.
Hanson to determine If possible II
This mind was wrong or If he had
been the victim of any character OF
mistreatment, but no discoveries
were made.
Between Z and o'clock the party
all went to the home Of Patton Whit
aker on the Sowell Mill pike, and
this morning 1t was stated that not
withstanding the opinion of many

CONSCIOUSNESS Of

SAYS THE socIoLoGIsT
SPEAKER.
ISOLATION is RESPONSIBLE
This Has Acted to Establish Com.

= MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 81
Social conditions in the United States
are tending to develop in the negro a
racial consciousness, and to organize
negro nationality, declared Robert
+. Park, professor of sociology Of the
University of Chicago, today before
the American Sociological Society,
which is meeting here jointly with
the American Economic Association.
"The Matchmaking tendency among
the negroes Of this country Is the re.
suit OF the white mans ostracism Of
his black brother" said Prof. Park.
He criticised the public utterances
of Senator Vardaman, Of Mississippi,
and CIV. Blease, of South Carolina.
Continuing he said:
"A race which has attained the
character Of nationality may still
retain its loyalty to the state of
which 1t Is part, but only so far as
that state incorporates the practical
interests, the aspirations and the
ideals Of that nationality. In the
South the races seem to be tending

omy.
ut Is hard to estimate the net eff
feet Of the white mans isolation of
the negro. One Of the most impor-
tant effects has been to establish a
common interest among all the differ
emit colors and classes of the race.
This sense Of solidarity has grown up
gradually with the organization of the
negro people. 1t is stronger in the
South, where segregation is more com
plete, than it is in the North, where,
twenty years ago, 1t would have been
safe to say it did not exist. Gradu.
ally within the larger world Of the
white man, a smaller world, the world
of the black man, is silently taking
form.
"No doubt kindly relations between
the individual members of the races
do exist in the South, and to an ex-
tent not known in the North. AS a
rule, it will be found that these kind
ly relations had their origin in slav'
cry. The men who have given the
tone to political discussion in the
Southern states, in recent years, are
men who did not own slaves"
At business meeting Of the Soci
ologiical Society today the follow.

President, Edward Rose, Universi
ty of Wisconsin.

IRST
Suit Under New Law Is Filed
In Newark
Newark American Tribune)

Newark American Tribune)
The first suit to sell land and
have the title recorded was filed
Tuesday in the probate court.
1t is the suit of e. S. Randolph, as
guardian of Rodger Williams versus
Ebenezer Williams and John Will
liams, Mary Richards and Minnie
Schubert. The petition is accom-
panied by petition in form, under
the Torrens law, which has been ef-
fective several days in Ohio. The
lands in question is lot No. 359 in
the Haughey addition.
The law does not make all lands
in the state subject to the action of
the Torrens law, but as lands come
through the courts on an order to
sell and in partition it is necessary
to have the title examined, and If the
lands are eligible to registry under
the law it must be done. The law
is being antagonized by the guaranty
title companies doing business in
the state as it puts them out of busi-
ness in the transfer of all lands
which have once been passed on and
accepted under the Torrens law.
They are testing the constitutionality
of the law in a test suit filed in Guy
ahoga county. Once lands are ex-
amined and the title accepted for
registry the title remains straight.
1t is the opinion of lawyers Of the
Licking county bar that the law as
it stands is warranted by the pres
ent constitution. The history of the
law is that in voting on the amend
ment to the constitution permits the
making of such law it carried two
to one. If the decisnion on the Cuya-
hoga county suit should be against
the present law it will simply result
in the amendment of the present law.
The law as it stands in Ohio pro.
vides for the appointment Of an of
fetal examiner of land titles. Agree
ably to the provision of the law to-
day Judge T. B. Fulton appointed
Judge ]. M. Swartz for the year to
come. He will examine all titles
which are petitioned for entry and
registration under the law and on his
certificate the state of Ohio will record
and defend the title.

Bender
The Athletics Pitcher Never
Calls A Doctor

In times of illness, Chief Bender,
the Indian pitcher of the Athletics,
forgets the veneer Of civilization and
goes back to the Indian ways.
Bender spurns the services Of
physician when he is sick, takes no
medicine, but simply hies himself
away and doesn't come back until he
is well again.
A short time after Bender joined
the Athletics, he was taken i'll. Con-
ME Mack wanted to have a physician
attend the twirler, but Bender shook
his head
"I'm sick, but 1 don't need medi.
cine" he said.
Connie left Bender's room for lit
tie while, and when he returned he
was surprised to find the chief had
slipped out. Inquiries failed to To-
cate him, and when Bender didn't
show up that night or the next day
Connie became worried.
For two nights and two days the
search was made for Bender, but to
no avail. He couldn't be found. By
this time Connie was almost frantic.
Just when he was about to send out
general alarm for his missing In
dian star he decided to take another
look into Bender's room and, there
he found him huddled up in bed.
Where have you been?" demanded
Mack
"Sick," answered Bender.
"But you haven't been in your
room at the hotel" said Mack.
mo, l went away where it was
quiet and where I could be alone" I"
replied Bender. "When an Indian is
sick he doesn't wan any noise around,
and he doesn't want medicine or doc.
tors. He just wants to let nature take
its course in curing him."

By Election Board Relative
To Placing On Ballot
The Question Asked By Cen
terbuFg Residents
A Tie Vote Resulted At EleC-
ton Board Meeting
And Question Now Goes To
The Secretary OF State
To Decide Whether Or Not
Vote Shall Be Taken

The Knox county board of elections
met in regular session Tuesday after
noon at three o'clock to hear the mat
ter of the objections filed to referen-
dunn petition presented to the board
by residents of Centerburg.
The referendum petition asked that
the matter of a sewage disposal plant
in the village be submitted to the
voters of Centerburg at the November
election and asked the board of elec-
tions to place the proposition on the
ballot.
Written objections to the petition
were filed by Mayor Cotton of the vii
lage and Mr.. Harry w. Koons ap-
peared at the meeting, representing
the mayor.
The objections were based on the
grounds that the ordinance was
passed May %, 1914, and that the
petition was not filed with the board
of elections until July 2. The law
provides that such petition must be
filed within 80 days, and the petitioner
allowed over 40 days to elapse before
the petition was filed.
The objections further stated that
the petition was not filed with the
clerk of the village of Centerburg, as
provided by law, and that the clerk of
the village did not certify the petition
over to the election board, as also
provided by law.
Clerk Leo Daily of the village of
Centerburg was present and was
sworn by Clerk Blair. Mr.. Daily was
examined by Mr.. Koons. He stated
that the petition was never filed with
him and that he never saw it before.
Mr.. Theodore Lyal, who made affi-
davit to the petition, was also sworn
and stated that the petition was not
filed with the village clerk.
Mr.. Meade then offered motion
that the board refuse to place the
proposition upon the ballot on the
SIOuuOS IhdJ IhC pCIitioh was hO'
filed within the required time and that
it was not filed according to the pro
vision of the statutes.
The roll was called and Mr.. Arm
strong and Mr.. Meade voted in favor
Of the motion and Mr.. Peterman and
Mr.. Warman voted against the motion
There being tie vote, the question
now goes to Secretary Of State Graves
for his decision. Upon motion Clerl
Blair was directed to prepare full
record of the case and to submit it t.
the secretary of state at the earlies
possible moment for his decision. AT
torney Koons will also. assist the clerl
in preparing the record and 1t is prob
able that the matter will be takel
