Jefferson Swears That Is tho Way His
Wife Got Money From Him.
Pittsburgh.-1t behooves all married
tightwads who wear false teeth to be-
ware. Often the subject OF ridicule,
artificial teeth have at last been found
to serve a practical purpose in domes-
tic life.
Frank Jefferson in divorce court told
a narrowing story of the manner in
which his wife had frequently forced
him to 'come across" with money by
the simple expedient of taking his
false teeth and hiding them.
The odd thing, to Jefferson's way of
thinking, was that even when he wax
ed angry his wife would refuse to re-
turn his teeth. Only Uncle Sans coin
OF the realm would persuade her that
her husbands molars were essential
and necessary to his daily existence.
Mrs. Jeferson's side of the case was
terse and to the point-her husband
had refused her the money she believ-
ed she was entitled to as lady of the
house. Consequently she took these
measures to get it. ...

West Virginia Man May Have Found
New Health Cult.
Wheeling, w. Va.-A new health
cult may be founded here following
the great success achieved by Joseph
Bleifus, who has not worn hat in
two years and has not had even the
semblance of cold in that time. Blei-
tus has not only gone hatless for two
Years, but he has gone coatless. In all
kinds of weather he has gone about
without hat, coat or overcoat, and he
has not been sick during that time.
Bleifus is big strapping fellow not
yet out of his teens and with his broth
ers conducts a meat market. He is
regarded as one of the finest speci-
mems Of physical manhood in the city.
Bicycle riding induced him to shed
surplus clothing. He found hats and
coats cumbersome and superfueus, got
out Of the habit of wearing them and
then passed them up altogether.

New York.-When the Scandinavian
American liner Hellig Olav made her
way into quarantine pleasant faced
young man stood beside. her rail, peer
ing through mist and trying to get a
glimpse of the quarantine station that
loomed indistinct and shadowy off the
port bow. Almost as the. vessel let 70
her anchor to await the arrival of the
health officer of the port the coast
guard cutter with the customs officials
nosed a way out of the fog.
On the cutter were Georg Bech, Dan
ish consul in New York, and Dudley
Field Malone, collector 5of the port.
They were on board to welcome to the
United States Prince Erik Of Den
mark, son Of Prince Wa1demar and
cousin Of the King of Denmark. The
prince was the smiling young man on
the steamers deck.
The cutter ran alongside, and as the
officials started up the ladder an Off
Ger Of the Hellig Olav appeared and
"presented the shippers compliments, ,"
but told reporters, photographers and
moving picture men that they were not
to be allowed on board. He was un-
moved by their protestations and the
cutter, with a disappointed crowd on
board, backed away into the fog. The
ships officer smiled as he gravely
touched the visor of his cap.
There was no wait for eustoms off,
cials to examine the princes trunks,
for the courtesy Of free entry had been
extended to the royal visitor. Prince
Erik was described by his fellow pas
sengers as having pleasant and demo-
cratic manners. He was popular with
the cabin passengers. His travelling
companion is Johannes Plum, a friend.
The prince, instead Of travelling incog-
nito, as European royalty sometimes
does, registered at hotel here as
prince Erik of Denmark"
The prince intends to study scientific
farming as it IS carried on in America
and to drop all rank and to settle down
to the life Of q real farmer. He speaks
English, for ha has lived two years on
farm in East Worcestershire, Eng
land, where he made his home with a
gentleman farmer and lived in a simple
way.
Erik is the son of the ranking ad-
miral of the Danish navy. His mother
was Princess Marie Of Orleans. He
has brother who is also devoting his
life to agricultural pursuits.

SAMUEL UNTERMYER,

stock because Of his belief in it's in
trinsic value. On it's merits he be-
lieves the stock is worth ST 1000 share.
This belief rests partly upon Mr.. Un-
termyer's estimate of Mr.. Charles M.
SchWaD as the greatest manufacturer
and salesman Of modern times. The
story Of how Mr.. Untermyer came to
form this estimate of Mr.. Schwab and
invest so heavily in the stock of the
present Bethlehem Steel corporation
recalls an interesting episode in the
financial history of the United States
when the methods Of so called "high
finance" were first exposed This oc-
CURED early in 1908.
A few months previously the United
States Shipbuilding company had been
organized under the laws of New Jer-
sey, with $16,OOO,OOO of first mortgage
bonds and many millions of preferred
and common stock. That company ac-
quired number Of the leading ship
yards of the country that are now
owned by the Bethlehem Steel corpora
tion. It also acquired the Bethlehem
Steel plant from Mr.. Schwab, who
took mortgage Of $1O,OOOOOO in part
payment Of the purchase price. Among
the shipyards that went over to the
new company were the Nixon works,
at Elizabeth, N. j.. owned by Lewis
Nixon; the Bath ironworks of Maine;
the Harlan & Hollingsworth shipyards,
In Delaware, and shipyards in San
Francisco owned by the Union Iron
works.
Within a few months after the or
ganization of the company it went to
smash. At this juncture Mr. Inter
myer was retained by Roland B. Conk-
lin, Max Nathan and certain other
bondholders, together owning about
100000 of the bonds, face value.
On their behalf he began an action
In New Jersey for the appointment of
a receiver, declaring that the promo
tion and flotation of the securities was
a fraud and that the properties, except
the Bethlehem Steel works, had been
turned over loaded with debt. A re-
ceiver was appointed.
After couple Of years of legal war
fare settlement was reached by
which a new company-the present
Bethlehem Steel corporation - was
formed. with $15,0OO.OOO each of pre-
ferred and common stock. The old
bondholders received 60 per cent Of
new common stock and 40 per cent of
new preferred stock of the Bethlehem
corporation for their bonds.
While Wall street operators have
sought to stimulate the bull campaign
in the so called "war stocks" by call
ing attention from time to time to the
big war orders received by the va
rious steel, automobile and railway
equipment companies. Mr.. Untermyer
has Travelled about the country telling
the public that he favors an embargo
on arms and munitions.
