INTERLOCKED BUSINESSEVIL
Governing Power.-Joining the

BY J. e. JONES

Washington, D. C.-There is no
man in business who does not feel
the evils-or benefits if he is
favored-of the control of large
variety of interests by local capi-
talists. This may have its head
quarters in a local bank and reach
around the affairs Of small COM
munity; or in a larger sense it may
envelope the banking and com
mercial interests of cities. Inter-
locking directors, which have been
vigorously criticised in the past
year or two, as the result OF the
Pujo congressional investigation of
the money trust, extend their in
fluence over national affairs through
the manipulation of the finances Of
great banks, trust companies, and
insurance companies. Likewise
the great corporations, including
the railroads, steamship companies
telegraph and telephone lines, and
other industries are within their
power. Therefore it was of i'm
portance to the country when the
partners of the banking firm of J.
P. Morgan and company an
nounced its members had retired
from the directorships of some
score of corporations. The an
nouncement says that the retire.
ments are due to "public senti-
ment". That public sentiment
never was better expressed than
in words attributed to President
Wilson, who said: "The great
business transactions of the coun-
try are privately controlled by
gentlemen whom l can name, and
whom l will name if it is desired;
men Of great dignity of character;
men, as believe, of great purity
of purpose, but men who have
concentrated in their hands trans
actions which they are not willing
to have the rest of the country
interfere with"
How few people in the United
States realize the real governing
power OF the nation. Every one
knows that President Wilson is in
Mississippi. doing his best to get
vacation, but most people seem to
think he has taken the government
along with him. On the contrary,
practically all of the details of the
executive Office are carried on in
Washington, exactly as though
the president were here. Presi-
dent Wilson has a private secre-
tary Of wonderful capacity-and he
leans heavily upon Mr.. Joseph
Tnmulty. Tumulty appears to be
able to run the government of the
United States quite as effectively
as if "the old man" were here him
self.
Young America is showing an
eagar desire to enter the enlisted
ranks of the army, and army
officials find that the enlistments
for the last two months of the old
year were above the normal. In
Washington it is declared that this
is not result of fear on the part
OF young men that hard times are
ahead, but a desire to enlist for
what the young men believe to be
real service ahead of them.
Bankers all over the country are
falling over one another in the
rush to get in their applications
for participation in the new bank
ing system inaugurated under the
currency bill. A week from the

|Nfw AUTO FUEL MAKING GOOD
McKeesport Man Has Substitute for
! Gasoline at Two Gents 4 Gallon

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 10. - John
Andrus a Mckeesport, Pa. chemist
has invented new fuel for automo-
biles. The fuel which is called Zoline
Is expected to revolutionize the pro-
duction of automobile power Mr.. And
rus Is here Witnessing test of the flu
ell at the Indianapolis Speedway un-
der direction OF its management, where
a 1,OOO-mile run Is in progress.
A stock car began the grind today
and made an average of about SO miles
an hour, completing the first lap OF
the run. The remainder will be run
tomorrow.
The test is not for speed, but to
learn the lasting qualities of the fuel
and whether the chemicals will be
harmful to engines.
The test is being made with a view
of manufacturing the fuel at once if
1t is proved satisfactory.
Tomorrow after the second DAYS run
the engine of the car will be taken
apart to learn if there are any in
| furious effects from the chemicals.
| The test today was highly satisfactory.
/ The new fuel. which consists OF
nine-tenths rain water mixed with a
chemical solution is said to cost less
than cents gallon
| The fuel was mixed at the pits under
| observation of the american Automo-
bile Association officials and the &C
tual running time for the 500-mile
grind was nine hours 90 minutes and
80 $40 seconds.
Those In charge of the test today de-
clared that better results would be
obtained tomorrow il weather condi-
tons were more favorable 1t is as
serted that Zoline will make car go
faster than gasoline.

MARRIED MEN LIVE LONG
Statistical Expert Has Proved That
Husbands Are Better Risks I,
Than Bachelors.

Dr.. Hans Curadze, the German stats.
teal expert. has discovered a new
barrier" between men and women.
After studying the statistics OF deaths
and marriages he declares: III men
want to enjoy long life they should
marry; II women want to grow to a
good old age they should remain spin4
sters." !
He admits that his conclusions can
be established with greater certainty
when the city Of Berlin publishes Its
proposed statistical tables of widows!
widowers. divorced persons and per-
sons who secured separations at vari-
GUS ages, but he says that tables ali
ready available show that married
women die sooner than the unmarried,
whereas married men live longest
Statistics show that the fatal age for
all males, married and unmarried, Is
about forty-four, whereas for the MARI
ried men 1t lies between fifty-five and
sixty.
The fatal age for all women is about
fifty, ten years more for unmarried
women, and nearly ten years less for
married.
Thus, II Doctor Curadze's statistics
are to be believed, the woman who re.
mains single may expect 20 years
more Of life than her married sister.
Marriages dissolved by the death OF
the wife last, on an average, ten to fif,
teen years, those dissolved by the hus-
bands death usually last 20 to rs
years.
According to this the number of
widowers In the average community
is always considerably in excess of the
number OF widows. This is only one
OF the interesting questions which will
be answered by the elaborate statistics
now being collected in Berlin

HAS A BACKBONE OF STEEL
Broken Vertebrae Of Mans Spinal Col,
urnn Replaced in Most In
usual Operation.

As the result Of one OF the most
remarkable surgical operations. Frank
Harrington, aged fifty-nine. of Vestals
near Binghamton, N Y. will hereafter
be known as the man with q steel
backbone. A steel tube, jointed to
make 1t as nearly as possible like the
vertebrae of the spinal column, re-
places 20 OF the vertebrate. which were
crushed by fall from scaffold.
Several weeks ago Harrington,
tripped and fell to the ground, landing
on his back. 1t was found that the
lower and middle portions Of the
spinal column had been crushed and
the resulting pressure on the spinal
cord had paralyzed his legs. 1t was
not believed that he would be able to
survive. but he was taken to the
hospital. Drs. C. s, Wilson, W. H,
Wilson and r. o. Crozier finally decid-
ed upon an operation In an effort to
save his life.
AS q preliminary the surgeons re-
moved the pieces OF the 20 crushed
vertebrae, then took a careful meas
urement OF the portion Of the spine
removed. Then they ordered steel
tube about three feet long. shaped
like the spine, with flexible joints. to
correspond. extreme care being taken
that every nerve branching from the
spinal cord should be in its proper
place. Harrington was placed in a
plaster cast. He has improved SO
much that he Is now able to move his
legs in the bed and the surgeons be-
lieve that he will entirely recover and
be able to walk as well as ever.
