Works. with a factory in Trenton, \. j.,
and Offices in this city, are mixed up in
litigation in the Supreme Court that
involves both their business and social
relations.
Minzesheimer is suing Treeger for
$4,000 for the alienation of the afec
lions of his wife, while Treeger has
brought an action for the appointment
Of a receiver for the rubber company,
Justice Newburger yesterday appoint
ing Jacob Klein to act in that capacity.
According 70 Minzesheimer, the &C
ton of his partner was TO revenge him
self for the suit for alienation brought
against him. while Treegcr says the
alienation suit is an effort on the part
of Min2eshcimer to compel him to give
up his interest in the partnership.
Treeger. who is married man, the
father Of grown sons and daughters,
said that if he had cared TO settle the
suit against him he could have pre-
vented his fair name being bighted by
scandal"

terms of friendship for many years.
Their families also have been on terms
Of social intimacy.
Minzeskeimer said that he never had
any suspicious of his partner until
few months ago Then, he said, certain
information came TO him that caused
him TO make an investigation. He be
came convinced, he said, that the diff
ferences between him and his wife and
her attitude toward him were due 10
the acts of Treeger. The investigation,
said Minzesheimer. proved that his
partner really was his rival.
He said he discovered that while
Treeger was in Europe and was writing
him an business matters the partner
also was carrying on a clandestine cor

Planned as the gateway from Man
haitian into the heart OF Brooklyn. the
Brooklyn approach TO the Manhattan
Bridge will be the most beautiful Of
any in the city.
Two statues one symbolic Of Man
haitian and the other representing
Brooklyn will soon be mounted on
Victoria white granite pylons, Just
where the bridge merCes into the
Brooklyn plaza These statues were
modelled by Daniel Chester French
and have been highly commended by
those who have seen them. Each IS
twelve feet high and will rest on
base fifteen feet from the ground.
Each statue typiies the artists idea
OF the distinctive features Of the life
Of the borough it represents.
A young woman in her early matur-
ity has been taken to represent Brook
Ign. In her left hand she holds a
Roman tablet. At her feet is seated
a child reading book. At her right
is tree and at her left the model of
church. Emblems symbolic of art
ard progress are at the base Of the
statue.

American contractor.

conscious philosopher. He had named
the necessities of life.
Everybody Satisfied
The earth yields everything else he
needs. and what he has never known
he does not miss. All in Panama,
from the poor peon in his hut to the
wealthy landlord, are satisfied with
life. And therein lies the explanation
of their aversion to change and pro-
gress.
An account of the people of Panama
would not be complete without men
ton of the San Bias Indians, one of
the most remarkable primitive tribes
or the hemisphere. They live in a
wild tract of country in the northern
part of the republic and number some
$4,000. In habits they are quite primi-
, tive, those on the coast living almost
entirely by fishing and trading the
natural products of the jungle, while
the inland tribes practice a limited
agriculture. They are a sturdy, we'll
puilt people, deep-chested and broad
shouldered. with long arms and short
legs, giving them a slightly grotesque
appearance, but great power and
activity. They are Intelligent and of
a high morality, being largely uncor-
rupted by the civilized vices.
These people share the prevailing
conservatism. Their desire is to live
their lives unmolested, and to keep
/ the blood of their race pure. 1t has
long been one of their rules that no
alien could remain overnight in their
villages, and this is still said to be
rigidly enforced by many of the tribes.
Fearless and Independent
Fearless and independent, these In
dians have never acknowledged the
sovereignty of the Republic of Pana-
ma. Recently, the government sent
some OF its representatives to the San
Bias country for the purpose of pro-
noting certain Industrial develop
ments The Indians forthwith resented
this intrusion by raising the Colom-
bian flag. This, however. did not indf-
cate any feeling of patriotism for the
country which once owned their lands,
but simply an appreciation of the fact
that the Colombians had left them
alone.
There are other tribes in the In
terror of Panama, about which very
little is known. One of these is the
Talamanca Indians, who are accredit-
ed with unique practice of gambling
for wives. 1t is said that each man
entering this game puts one wife Che
has severaD into the pool. The con-
testants then stand in two rows, armed
with the throwing clubs, which are
their most effective native weapons.
A battle of throw and dodge then
starts, and continues until only one
, man is left standing. He gets the en-
tire pot" as an addition to his domes-
| tic establishment. The existence of
this custom is vouched for by a num-
Der of reputable traders in Colon. who
have been in the habit of getting up
parties TO witness this unique amuse-
ment.

THE PANAMA
CANAL AT WORK
By Frederic J. Haskin
CONTINUED from Editorial Page.

! of them are richly lowered in worldly
goods The brides father. for ex-
ample, may present the young couple
with a few houses in Panama and a
| farm in the country. The groom's
father will probably contribute a
suitable residence and $4,000 in gold
for honeymoon. Jewelry of the
ornate and elaborate sort favored by
Panamanian taste will be showered
upon the bride by her innumerable
relatives. The young couple will
usually spend several months in Eu-
rope upon their honeymoon. It is a
significant fact that since the Eu-
ropean war began most of them have
been coming to the United States, and
ore OF these interesting couples may
be found upon nearly every passenger
boat plying between New York and
Panama.
Thus the life of the Panamanian
aristocrat is pleasant and easy. 1t
moves in the well-worn grooves of
tradition. 1t is filled with the pleas
ures of the senses and devoid of
worry, hurry and excessive effort.
This opulent life of the upper class
of Panama rests upon the swarming
lower classes like some splendid struc-
ture built upon piles sunk deep in
mire. Just as the aristocrat of
Panama has everything, SO the peon
has nothing-neither privilege, wealth
nor hope. Nearly all of the land is
owned by the aristocrats; it is said
that six men in Panama own nearly
all of the cattle; everything worth
having belongs to the ruling class. The
Panamanian peon lives in a palm
thatched hut and cultivates bit of
ground rescued from the jungle. He
raises plantains, bananas, yams, and
catches fish from the rivers and the
bay. Upon these things he lives, and
he sells enough of them to pay tribute
in the form of rent and taxes to his
all-powerful masters.
Ruling Note Is Contentment
Thus in Panama the stage seems set
for a social revolution. Here is a
down-trodden class. deprived of all
rights and hopes, and a dominating
class numerically much smaller, living
on the fat of the land. The time seems
ripe for a Panamanian Robespierre.
But there is not going to be any
social revolution in Panama. That is
one of the sure things. They have had
fifty-seven so-called revolutions there,
according to local historians, but none
OF them have been class wars. They
have been fights for political pie
between cliques of the ruling class.
| The dominant note of all Panama
| nian society is contentment, and that
contentment is the key to Panamanian
! life The peon is poor and always
will be poor in his own right, but by
nature he is one of the richest men on
earth. He scratches the ground with

GREAT SINGERS OF A CENTURY
The nineteenth century has justly
been called the century of wonders, for
in one hundred years the world ad
vanced materially, more than ii had,
almost in one hundred centuries pre-
ceding. In the Fine Arts music -four
ished in the nineteenth century as
there are no. signs of its flourishing in
the twentieth. Consequently. with the
richness of musical life. the world had
a series of singers whose names are
treasured by all those who love the
finest manifestation of the art of music
song.
Melba was born in the nineteenth
century and has reached the summit
of her achievements in the twentieth.
The concert tour she is making this
year is of supreme Importance to all
those interested in the art of singing,
for Melbe is unique among singers,
not merely in the matter of voice but
IN the perfection of its use.-Adver-
