DECLARES AMERICAN
DIGNITY INVOLVED
Counsel Holds English Action

and Absurd"

Leopold Zimmerman, head OF the
banking firm of Zimmerman 4 For
shay, which has been closely allied
with German finances in this country.
was selected yesterday as permanent
chairman of the organization effected
on Friday to combat the efforts Of
Great Britain to blacklist firms trad
ing with her enemies.
The organization. which had its pre-
liminary conferences in the Chamber
of German and American Commerce, at
II Broadway, will find q new meeting
place. Heinrich Charles, in charge of
the rooms, said that the chamber had
done with the organization.
I'VE simply offered our rooms as
convenient place for representatives. Of
the blacklisted firms to meet" said Mr..
Charles. Now that they have organ
lied they will not meet here, as the
organization has nothing to do with
u.s."
Making Haste Slowly.
Mr.. Zimmerman left his Office early
for Sea Cliff and referred all inquiries
to his counsel, NJ. b. Blumenthal. SO
Nassau Street, who will direct tn legal
destinies of the organization.
I'VE are making haste slowly" said
Mr.. Blumenthal. "The great impor
tance and fsrreaching effect of the con-
troversy between hte two countries re-
quire that the American side be pre-
sented deliberately. without excitement
or clamor."
Mr. Blumenthal held that the black
listing of Great Britain was no longer
an affair in which few citizens were
prosecuted. but one in which the dig
nifty and integrity of the American ma
tion were involved.

Duct said Mr. Blumenthal, England
has declared through it's chief of the
Department of Foreign Trade that the
test applied before putting q hrm
domiciied in America on the statutory
list is this: as that firm, by its busi-
ness operations, strengthening our en-
emies? II so, then BRUSH nrms may
not support it, This test reflects an
attitude that is unlawful, inconsistent
and absurd 1t is unlawful because In
direct conflict with those provisions OF
international law which recognize the
right of neutral nations to trade with
any belligerent power. 1t Is lncon-
sistent in view Of the fact that during
the last fiscal year England has carried
on trade relations with citizens Of the
United States reaching the billion-dol-
lar mark, whereby she eng land) Ger.
tsinly has been strengthened And II
il is fair for us as neutral citizens
voluntarily to deal with England and
thus strengthen her, how can England
be heard to say that we are to be ex-
communicated from the realm OF com
merce if we voluntarily deal with Eng
lands adversaries, thereby strengthen

"They're not looking for trouble, you
know" the man said, "but anything that
gets between these boats and the open
water when they get started is likely

All efforts to learn the identity of the
friendly individual who sought 70 pro-

were without avail. After passing the
word along he disappeared as mysteri-
ously as he came.
Signs of activity aboard the Deutsch-
land came Immediately after the an
nouncement of Federal radio inspect
or that the Deutschland's two weeks
time limit had expired, and that Its
wireless apparatus would be sealed at
once. The announcement was made at
noon. A few minutes later the two
masts that had stretched above the
protecting barricade disappeared from
view.
In the excitement that followed, Cap
tain Frederick Hinsch, of the German
freighter Neckar, forgot TO be diplo-
matte in the statements of denial he
has been making from day TO day con-
cerning the plans Of the submarine.

At that moment the government Of

for the submarine appeared upon the
scene with the disquieting announce
ment that the wireless had been safely
tucked away where it would be of no
use to anybody until the boat got be

stammered some explanation, then dis
appeared behind barricade of empty

Conflicting Stories About Gold.
There are conflicting stories con-
cerning the gold supposed TO be slowed
in the Deutschland's yitals. Seemingly
authentic reports are that she carries
almost S4.OO0.000 in gold bars. Ex-
merits ridicule this statement, however,
saying that nickel and even pig iron
are of far more value 20 Germany now
than gold.

LIKE A TINY SOLAR SYSTEM.
Power and Possibilities That Arc
 Locked In an Atom.

Power and Possibilities That Arc
 Locked In an Atom.
 The most generally accepted theory about the structure of the atom which Is no longer regarded as the ultimate indivisibIe particle of any element, as this of course could have no structure-ls that It is a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a sys- tenn of electrons which are kept to. gethcr by attractive forces from the nucleus. Thus it becomes a sort of in- fnitestimalIy small solar system.
 In an article in .he General Electric Review Dr. Saul Dushman draws the following conclusions from a discus cusslon of the laws that govern the atoms of the several elements:
 "Considering the relationships ex- hlbited by the different radioactive elements, one realizes that the dream of the alchemIsts may not have been as fatuous as has appeared until re- gently. The concept of an absolutely stable atom must be discarded once for all, and It's place is taken by this miniature solar system, as it were, consisting of 8 central nucleus and one or more rings of electrons.
 But the nucleus Itself is apparent. ly the seat of immense forces, and in spite of It's exceedingly inanItesimal dimensions it contains both alpha par ticles and electrons Once ia awhile the nucleus of one of the atoms will spontaneously disintegrate and expel an alpha or beta particle. A new ele- meut has been born. What causes these transformations? Can they be controlled? These are questions which only the future can answer But If we had it in our power to remove two alpha particles from the atom of bis muth or any of its isOtropeS, not only would the dream of the alChemists be realized but man would be in posses sion of such intensely powerful sources of energy that all our coal mines, wa ter powers and explosives would be- come insignificant by comparison"

 In Scharf's "ChronicleS of Baltimore there Is vivid description of the starry hailstOrm. the fiery meteoric shower, of 1883, and old files of news papers arc made luminous at that date with the impressions of editors and contributors.

TIME TO CHANGE

To-day is printed affidavit number tr.ee from a man who has been confined within the four walls of t4s Mo.uiugside Sanitarium, setting forth ywidIy the treatment and con duIgas oI ta&. institution. If ra,sg sworn aItJ-qyits are true and wy have every reason to be- licye hat they are-then certainly humanity cannot knowingly permit t-is medieval treatment to continue.
 The following is correct statement Of the y.e@tment that ], Edward J. Fox, received when couuavL iu the Cvyst2l Springs sauiravium, Mt. Tabor, Ore.
 "Ou ny arrival at tie sanitar- jum tu June. 1906, l was called into the office of the superintend- cut .o be examined by the head doctor oI the institute. The doc for asked my name, in full, my place oS birth, my religion and tlc E., ue of my ueare-t relative, his or her address. That com plgt-d the examination given me. l was then placed in a room about 51 by I5O feet, which was used for sleeping, sitting and prom cuade room, and contained so pa t.euls. One day for a slight in fraction of the rules l was taken in land by the superintendent ana 1gur attendants and thrown oa my back, one attendant held ny head down on the floor by placing his foot in my face, another set his foot in the pit Of my stom- ach: the superintendent held my lrgs down and they all beat and Kicked ne until was unconscious; when l revived l found my face .-s black and swollen, and I could bareiy see ont of one eye; one tooth was E.rked loose and dropped out; my body was bruised and in many places turned black and blue.
 The Leyt day l was unished in the following manner: They put a leather strap around my wrists and leather strap around my waist fastened my wrists to the strap around my waist with a lock, l was Kept in this condition for 30 days aud nights, l hadto sleep with rae straps on. And at no time Isl they give me treatment for insanity. I have witnessed mau9 patients receive as brutal treatment as they gave me. The sanitary condition of the place was bad. The water they gave us 10 drink vas yellow and muddy and not l.r to drink, and the room they kept ss 5n was act any too clean at r.m.s. end l believe that Frank Litz description of the place that was published iu the two Nome papers was yegg mild as l, myself have seen much worse treatment dealt out ty a great many of the inmates ut that institution.

GENEROSITY
OF NEIGHBORS
Raises Neat Fund For Cyclone
Victims

The divine tendency Of humanity to
share its worldly stores with one of
its number who, through misfortune,
has become separated from his, was
given splendid exemplification at
Brandon Friday when subscription
papers for the relief of Harry Smith
and family, cyclone victims, were
passed and literally subscribed to.
1t was the Smith family, residing on
the Fleming farm, that was dealt such
vigorous blow by the cyclone in the
way of financial loss. A portion of
the house was torn down, all barns
were destroyed, while practically all
stock, with the exception of three
horses, was killed
At the time of the visit Of the tcy-
clone, Mrs. Smith was confined to her
bed with bad attack of the measles.
There is baby in the family and
these circumstances made the appeal
for relief all the more powerful.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith have not been
married for any great length of time
and had just succeeded in getting a
fair start in the world when the cy.
clone came.
All OF these things combined to eX-
cite the pity of residents of the com.
munity and, headed by Charles F.
Hall and Charles Harrison, a sub.
| scription paper was passed, Many
people donated cash on the spot, while
others subscribed various amounts
both small and large.
AS a result, about $3.50 has been
raised for the immediate relief of the
distressed family and this sum will
be turned over to them. The resi-
dents of Miller township may well
take pride in their liberal contribu
tions and their charitable donations
CROWDS VISIT SCENES
All day Friday, Miller and Milford
townships were the destinations o.
scores of sight-seers from all Over
the county. Some even came from
Sparta to visit the scenes Of the cy
clones furies. There were hundreds
of automobiles present from Mt. Yer
non and surrounding country.
1t was a sorry picture that wa
presented to the eyes of the curious
and interested people who reviewed
the path of the cyclone and examined

HEAVY LOSSES
It is estimated that Isaac Watson
sustained the heaviest financial loss
as the result of the cyclone. He lost
90 sheep and horse, while the roof
of his barn was carried away and his
home practically demolished by large
planks which the cycone sent flying
through it. Altogether, it is figured
that Mr.. Watson's loss amounts to
$4,000.
At Manville Pickering's farm in
Milford township, ten of twenty acres
of fine timber were destroyed and
Mr.. Pickering estimates his absolute
loss at $1,000.
Others who suffered heavily in a
financial way from the cyclone were:
Charles Cooper Benjamin Hunter
Thomas Smith, Dan Chadwick of Mil
ford township and Reuben Chrisman
Walter Chrisman and John Monroe
of Miller township.
The total of these losses will run
between $4,000 and $4,000, it is said
