NEW YORK; Chicago Item in

and found it was an extinct bird of
ostrich proportions that could cover
a continent in a days flight, He

a myth She read a book Dodo and
was fascinated with the name.
They quarreled over naming the
baby until they landed in divorce
court. She is Mrs. Eleanor Nesfeld
and he is Edward Gordon Nesfeld.
Judge Sullivan thought that a
quarrel over a baby's name was a
weak ground for divorce. He deliv-
cred a consoling lecture to the pair
and suggested as a compromise that
the baby should be named "DOro-
thy" This name would comprise all
the letters in ''Dodo" and not ham,

HERE'S A new THEORY
SAYS KAISER'S TWISTED NECK
CAUSED EUROPEAN WAR.
Philadelphia Professor Points to De-

Philadelphia Professor Points to De-
formities of Many Foreign Mon
archs Noted in History.
NEW YORK.-Dr. Ira w. Drew,
professor of children's diseases in the
Philadelphia College of Osteopathy,
speaking before the New Jersey Os-
teopathic Society at its annual con-
vention in Newark, said:
IF Kaiser Wilhelm had not been
born with twisted neck who knows
if we would have had the present big
European war? Everywhere we hear
of osteopathic LESSONS or spinal twists
which cause disease.
Il am firmly convinced that there
are LESSONS of another sort which pro-
duce abnormal stimulations of GER
tain centers and faculties of the brain
and are in large measure responsible
for many of the cases of abnormal
and terrific brain activity which his
tory has recorded in men Of genius.
AIIllCUeu since DbfULls
LESSONS of the neck and upper
back are very likely to involve the
thyroid gland and the pituitary body,
and these in turn are directly related
to many faculties of the brain. If
they are adversely influenced by a
spinal twist idocy or cretinism-ar-
rested development-re
is it not reasonable to suppose
that if they are over-stimulated by
the irritation of another sort Of les
ion over-development of certain brain
centers may result?
ut is known everywhere, for in
stance, that Kaiser Wilhelm since his
birth has been afflicted with wither-
ed arm and aneck twisted just where
lesion would most affect the thy
roid and it's related structures. Ma
poleon was almost a hunchback. His
great adversary, Wellington, always
stood with one shoulder higher than
the other.
1.-The Greeks said Alexander was
lop-sided; Pericles had peculiarly
shaped head and neck; Archmedes
walked with a terrible stoop. Who
knows but that this malformation
indicated osteopathic LESSONS which
resulted in over-stimulation of the
brain in these and other equally ia
nous instances?"

PANICS DUE TO THE
DISTRUST OF BANKS
RELOCATED TO FEDERAL RE-
SERVE SYSTEM, HAMLIN TELLS
NEW YORK CHAMBER.
GOVERNOR OF BOARD SPEAKS

Does Not Think, However, All fahlcs
win Be Prevented by New System
Day of Reckoning VIII Come in
the Future as i'll the Past.
NEW YORK.-Panic due to dis
frust of banks has been relegated tC
the museum of antiquities by the
new reserve banking system, in the
oDinion of C. S. Hamlin, governor OF
the federal reserve board, voiced this
afternoon in a speech before the New
York chamber of commerce.
1.-The federal reserve system will
relegate to it's proper place, the mu-
scum of antiquities, the panic gener-
ated by distrust in our banking sys-
TEN leading to a struggle of self-pre-
servation between bank and bank
and individual and individual and
ultimate boarding by the people,
Mr.. Hamlin asserted.
Such boarding usually follows
boarding by the banks and does not
precede it. If boarding by banks
should cease boarding by individuals
would never occur; and both, | be-
lieve. will be relegated to obscurity
under the federal reserve system"
Mr.. Hamlin did not think that all
panics would be prevented, of neces-
sitv. by the new system.
"If in the future business expands
unduly under the spirit of specula-
ton the day of reckoning will surely
come in the future as it has in the
past" he said. Undue expansion
will correct itself, just as the air
bubble will ultimately burst. I be-
1ieve, however, that the federal re-
serve banking system will materially
check undue expansion.
1T is a fact, however, that even
under the federal reserve system the
banks will have it in their power to
permit if not encourage undue specu-
lative activity; and if they do this
the inevitable result, commercial
stringency, must follow. But when
the state banks and trust companies
of the United States join the federal
reserve system q hope in the neal
future) even that possibility viii be
greatly minimized.
Much speculation exists as to the
authorship of the federal reserve act
l can say, with confidence, that nc
selfish interests assisted in its birth
I can further say that beyond those

REPORT OF FLOODING
OF WHITE CAPS NINE

The White Caps mine is rapidly be-
ing blooded owing to the leasers hav-
ing pulled their pumps Tuesday night
after a few hours notice, which was
not sufficient for the company to
provide a new set of pumps.
Since the annual meeting there has
been considerable friction between
the minority and majority factions
in the board of directors. The for
mer represented the leasers, who had
been operating the mine and owned
all the equipment on the surface, in
Guiding hoist, pumps and mill. The
directors were asked to buy the i'm
provements, including a secret pro-
cess for treating White Cap ores. The
price asked was $25, 900, which the
majority of the board thought was
too much, and therefore refused to
entertain the proposition. In pulling
the pumps the leasers also took out
the pipes and hoist, Gripping the
mine and allowing it to fill with
water. The removed parts were TAX
en- to the Associated mill for storage.
In the meantime the White Caps
company proceeded to get busy and
in the course of a few hours secured
a pump and all appurtenances,
which were shipped to Manhattan
yesterday.
The owning company admits a GER
tain loss, which will entail the outlay
of a good deal of money, but assert
they will be in a better position than
before as soon as they get their
pumps and hoist working. This will
relieve the parent company from all
interference. 1t is probable that the
acrimonious controversy will find it's
way into the courts, as it is limited
that a suit for damages will be filed
on the ground that the leasers did
not adhere closely to the terms of
their lease in removing the machin-
ery.-Bonanza.

COMPANY DEVELOPING WE'LL

rectors were elected: n, p. Il.
Hatch, president and treasurer: Nj.
w. Burke, vice president; Thomas
Defenbaugh. secretary; j. H. Stevens
and Jacob Best.
This company owns a favorably To-
Gated group of claims in National dis
trict. The company is driving a tun-
mel to intersect at depth two veins
which were cut in the old Packwood-
Nancy tunnel near the surface. The
veins showed good values, but the
leasers could not sink OF them on
account of a heavy flow of water.
The veins have the same strike as
the bonanza vein of the National
Mines company, which property is sit
uated due north and with only a few
claims intervening.
The National Nevada Mining com
pany's tunnel is now in 10 feet and
is to be continued for a distance of
about $50 feet, with the expectation
of encountering the two veins above
mentioned at a vertical depth of
about 800 feet, where the values
should be good pay or high-grade.
The company has good accommo-
dations at the mine for the men en-
ployed and has the mining equip
ment that is required to carry on the

and directors of the company are all
well known business men of National
except Mr.. Best, who resides in Mil

who see that the stockholders get

that is raised for development pur-
poses will be put into the ground and
