Edison Has Solved Great Problem
of Under Water Craft
WILL GIVE IT TO ALL NATIONS
Has Invented Batteries That Will
Allow Submarines To Stay
Under Water 100 Days.

New York. April 13-The United
States goverr Went is building at its
navy yard at Portsmouth, N. H., a
submarine of a type that will excel
any boat of the kind in eXistance in
the matter of under sea steaming rad
ius, and which will be equipped with
apparatus designed and built by
Thomas A. Edison that will enable
its crew to live for period of 100
days at the bottom of the sea if the
craft should meet with an accident
similar to that which disabled the
IA in Honolulu Harbor
This announcement was made last
night by Miller Reese Hutchinson
chief engineer to and personal repre-
sentative of Mr.. Edison.
1t is asserted that the new Edison
batteries will give the submarine an
under-sea cruising range of $50 miles
more than a third longer than that
of any present submarine, and win ell

ing on submarine batteries since
1910. One of the European powers
now at war began three years ago to
attempt to obtain batteries for its
submarines from him. Mr.. Hutchin-
son said last night that the inventor
had begun work on the submarine
batteries for humanitarian reasons,
hoping TO protect crews from the risk
of being killed from poisonous gases
He added that all navies would be al
lowed to use the batteries for their
submarines.

HUERTA IN NEW YORK
Former Provisional President >
Mexico Arrives From Spain.

Mexico Arrives From Spain.
New York, April 1S-Gen. Victor
iano Huerto, former provis-
ional president OF Mexico, who
for nearly year has been
an exile in Spain, arrived here
yesterday on the Spanish steamship
Antonio Lopez from Cadiz. Gen.
Huerta was passed by United States
immigration officials as a transient
alien, after he had declared under
oath that he would do nothing that
would in any way involve the neutral
ity of the United States.
The former president said he had
come to the United States partly for
pleasure and partly to attend to some
personal business connected with
family matters. He swore that he
had no intention of going to Mexico
or to Cuba. The length of his stay
here he said, was indefinite, but he
would return to Spain, possibly sail
ing from New York early in May.
Gen Huerta was met at quarantine
by representatives of the press and
by an array of photographers. While
submitting to being photographed in
every desired pose, he declined to
say anything as to his mission-agree
ing to meet newspapermen at his ho-
tel in New York Friday morning Re-
garding this appointment he said:
Il understand that my presence in
this country creates in you desire
to know my views about the affairs
of Mexico, and promise to satisfy
your wishes TO the best of my ability
| beg you gentlemen to re-
member that no interview with me
should be considered as authentic un
less 1t carries my personal signat-
urc"
To all appearances Gen. Huerta
has changed but little since he left
Mexico. While he is credited with
having fair command of English,
what little talking he did was
through an interpreter Pressed for
an interview he said
1T is pleasure for me to be again
in the United States, as it gives me
an opportunity TO admire once more
the greatness of the American people
whom salute through your press.
1t Is nothing strange that on stepping
on United States territory | should
consider my first duty to salute this
great nation as many of its citizens
are my personal friends

RUSSIA BORROWS

HER ALLIES
France and England Swap Their
Money For Russian Wheat
RUSSIA PROSPEROUS IN WAR
People Find That War and Prohibit
ton Are Putting Money Into
Their Pocket Every Day

Petrograd, April 12.-Russia is to
draw upon Great Britain and France
| for war funds to the extent of $780,
100000, one-half Of this sum to be fur
nished by each nation, for which
they are to receive the equivalent in
grain. This is one of the results of
the agreement reached recently in
Paris by the Finance Ministers of
the three Allies to pool all the ex-
penses of the war, as revealed by
Pierre L. Bark, Minister of Finance,
in an interview he granted today to
correspondent of The Associated
Press.
1T Is an excellent arrangement
for all concerned" said the Minister,
for while Russia has enormous re-
sources, she is in need of immedi-
ate capital, and our allies, on the
other hand, have more capital than
supplies. | have already arranged a
credit of 625 100000 francs (s125,000.
000) in France and of 925,000, 900
(s125 5,000,000) in England, which Rus
sia is TO use at any time the occas-
ion requires. We are on the point
of making use of part Of the French
credit"
NJ Bark expressed the opinion
that economically considered, the
war had been a blessing to the peo-
pie of this country, He said.
Notwithstanding the depressing
and paralyzing effect of the war, the
Russian peasant class is more pros.
porous than at any previous time in
the history of the country. II is not
difficult to account for this unusual
prosperity BY virtue of the allow
ance made by the Government to the
families of soldiers, which exceeds
the earning power of the soldiers,
the total income of these families is
greater than in times of peace Thus,
instead of feeling any priyation as
the result of the absence of the men
and the loss of their services, the
people are beginning to regard the
war as q peculiar sort of Godsend
which is putting money into their
pockets"
What about vodka?' was asked of
the Minister
1T is the prohibition of the sale
Of vodka which is primarily respon.
sible for the ameliorated condition
OF the peasant" he responded. THE

able earnings formerly disappear

necessities or saved for future

WANTS FOUR TEAM LEAGUE
Otherwise 5rattieboro is Out Of the
Twin State

At final meeting of the directors
of the Brattleboro baseball associa-
tion last night it was voted to send
President George Il. Sherman to the
meeting of the Twin-State league in
Bellows Falls today instructed to
vote to DIN four.team league If ar
rangements can be made to play on
the grounds here.
AS result of the spring floods the
local grounds are in bad shape
and a part of the grand stand Is
wrecked. 1t has been impossible to
properly estimate the cost of fixing
the grounds, but the owners of the
park will be ready in few days with
a definite proposition.
If 1t is finally voted to have a four
team league. there is little doubt that
Brattleboro VIII be in it, but under
no circumstances will there be a
team from this town in a six-team
circuit this year.

ATTACKS TREASURY HEADS
Riggs Bank in Suit Charles Conspr
acy to Wreck Institution,

Washington. April 13-Secretary
McAdoo of the treasury department
Controller of the Currency John Skel
ton Williams were made defendants
Yesterday in proceedings begun in
the District of Columbia supreme
court by the Riggs national bank of
Washington, ID. c., which alleges that
these officials have combined and
conspired to wreck that institution
Temporary and permanent injunct-
ions to halt the alleged conspiracy.
and to prevent the controller from
making what the bank charges are
unlawful demands for special reports
of various kinds, are sought from the
court.
The banks bill of complaint covers
Sc typewriter pages and contains 81
specific allegations designed to show
that the controller has adopted unus-
ual and legally questionable tactics
in dealing with the institution. 1t re-
cites that evidence of an unusual de-
sire for information concerning the
bank was shown by Mr.. Williams
soon after he assumed the Office of
controller more than year ago, and
has continued ever since. Prior to
that time, in December 1913, it says,
Mr.. McAdoo charged officers of the
bank with responsibility for publca-
tions regarding the official conduct of
the defendant Williams, as assistant
secretary of the treasury. When this
charge was denied by the officials,
the bill asserts, Secretary McAdoo
cursed Milton E. Allies, vice-presid-
ent of the bank, and said to C. c.
Glover, it's president, "Mr. Glover,
you know what this means to the
Riggs National bank" Meaning
thereby" the bill adds. that from
that time on the power of the treas
ury department would be aggressive,
ly used for the ruination and destruct
ion of the plaintiff bank in order to
satisfy the personal malice and i'll
will Of said defendants. Williams and
McAdoo, and shortly afterward the
said defendants, Williams and Nc
Adoo, began series of prosecutions
against the plaintiff bank for the pur-
pose of impairing or destroying its
said business, thereby prostituting
their high public Office and violating
their oaths in order to vent their per-
sonal vindictiveness against the ofIic-
ers of the plaintiff bank"
