To PhotesraeA a star.

A discovery may be made phsto
graphically by some astronomer this
fall or winter in the constellation Gem
ini, according to Isabel NJ. Lewis q,
the United States naval observatory
It will be star Of the fifteenth magni
tude In an elliptical orbit and has beer
difficult to fnd and identity because
in the Milky Way there are countless
others that are brighter.
The orbits Of all the planets ex
cepting Mercury, are nearly perfect
circles, and discovery Of planet ex
terior to Neptune that moves In q
greatly elongated ellipse will strike
one more blow at the nebular hypothe
sis. which assumes, says Miss Lewis
that the planets almost circular orbits
are due to the fact that originally they
were thrown of as rings from CON
tracing solar nebula.
Irregularities in the motion Of Nep-
tune indicate that the unseen planet IL
drawing near to Neptune and during
this period Of conjunction astronomers
hope to determine the mass Of the new
body.

Soldier at Div Murdered

The body of a soldier attached tc
the Camp Dix remount station was
found in field near the camp or
Wednesday. 1t was identified as that
of Private John Smaneatto, who hao
left camp the previous Saturday and
had not returned. The body was part
ly decomposed and indicated by big
cash in the neck and stab wounds
that murder had been committed.
The mystery surrounding the death
was cleared on Sunday, when, it is al
legged by officers of the army intelli-
gence department, that a confession
was made by William P. Simmons,
head cook at the remount, that he had
committed the crime. He said he
stabbed Smaneatto in self defense in
fight near the camp. Simmons
claims, according to officers, that he
alone was implicated in the crime, al
though it has been the general belief
that several soldiers, some of whom
have been under arrest as important
witnesses, had direct knowledge of
the killing. Intelligence officers have
as yet been unable to check up on sew
eral points OF. the alleged confession.
According to the confession, Sim
mons declares a quarrel that began in
the barracks kitchen led to the fight
in which Smaneatto was killed Sman-
eatto was recently assigned to assist
in work in the kitchen. There was
trouble between the two men when
Smaneatto, Simmons says, shirked his
work, which developed into bitter
quarrel. Simmons is said to have ad-
mitted that the quarrel was renewed
when they met outside of camp late
Saturday evening. In his alleged con-
fession Simmons says he was at
tackled.
The confession will be turned over
to the military board investigating
the crime, and charges against Sim
mons will probably be referred to a
general court martial. The board is
composed of Captain Walter Van
Swerigen, M. c.; Lieutenant B. O..
Cooper and Lieutenant J. W. Sharp.
Clever work of officers at the Intelli-
gence Department under Major Blan-
ton is credited with speedy unravel-
ing of the crime mystery, as Sman-
eatto's body lay undiscovered in a
field near the camp for four days. I'm
der military escort the body of the
murdered soldier was taken to Vine
land for burial on Saturday.

An expert lecturer to tell how to get
best results from its continuous and
iudicious use.
One of the best things along educa-
tional lines that has come to notice
recently, and which has secured great
deal of commendable publicity from
newspapers and letters of endorsement
from business organizations in the
| largest cities, is the lecture and NOV
ing pictures on Retail Merchandising

NEW SAVING PLAN
AIDS WAGE FARMERS
More Than 14oo Government Savings
Associations Now Active In the
Third Federal District.

Associations Now Active In the
Third Federal District.
More than 1400 Government Savings
Associations are now operating In the
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware counties of the Third Federal
Reserve District These associations
are located in business and industrial
concerns and have q total membership
of over 100000,
The members are regularly saving
and investing through the purchase Of
Government Thrift and Savings
Stamps. The largest of these associa-
tons has several thousand members
and its total investment at a single
pay runs from $4,000 to $1,000.
The Government Savings Assocla-
ton plan is very simple one. 1t is
designed to make saving an easy and
convenient process and for that rea-
son Is meeting with great favor among
workers. There are no dues, no fines,
no meetings, and no record is kept OF
individual accounts. The ease of saw.
ing by the method now introduced
goes far to institute thrift as per-
manent habit and the returns in varl'
GUS plants show that many workers
who previously were very improvidenl
are methodically and regularly put
| ting by considerable sums.
In one small concern eleven mer
were interested in the plan and 1t wa:
| figured that In six months they wert
likely to save about $175. They &C
tually saved more than $4,000 in tina
time, as much to their own as t.
others surprise, and two of then
bought homes, using their investmen
in Government Savings Stamps t
make the initial payments.

Land Reclamation Scheme

The British board of agriculture has
inaugurated a scheme for the reclama-
ton Of land on the Lincolnshire shore
of the Wash. A bank Is being con-
structed from wainfieet. a little below
Skegnees, to Freiston, near Boston
(Lincolnshire). commencing at the
Wainfeet end, and by this means 1t
Is hoped to recover about 1900 acres.
The work is in charge of resident
engineer in Wainfeet and will employ
a large number Of men, who will be
selected from demobilized soldiers and
sailors, and thus obviate the taking
away of labor from agriculture. II il
said that in the middle Of the last cen.
tury reclamation scheme was started
and 1t was then estimated that sutfi
GENTLY large area would be redeemed
from the Wash to form new English
county. The enterprise was abandon
ed, but experts have always maintained
its practicability. which is now in tbs
| course Of being tested.

Affidavit Shows

CARMEL, N. Y, May 17.-An affi-
davit filed to-day with E. D. Stannard,
transfer tax appraiser for Putnam
county, by counsel for the estate of
the late Major Clarence Fahnestock,
soldier, hunter and New York club
man, shows that he left an estate of
$3,500,0OO of his own and that he held
power of appointment over an addi-
tlonal 100000, which amounted to a
life interest. Maj or Fahnestock, who
died in the service, was a physician.
HIS will was filed in Putnam county
several weeks ago. In it he left his
country home with its 5000 acres to
a brother, DR.. Ernest Fahnestock. He
bequeathed his jewelry to his sister,
Mrs. Helen Campbell, and her children,
and divided the rest of the estate
equally among DR.. Fahnestock and
William Fahnestock, brothers, Mrs.
Campbell and the children Of Gibson
Fahnestock.
The most valuable asset of the es-
tate, the affidavit filed to-day shows,
is a block of 1866 shares Of the First
National Bank of New York, valued
at 5000 share and aggregating about
81 100000. He also had about $780,
600 invested in the New York Central.

It's what is in your head that counts.
The first event was boxing contest
between armless men, Louis Young and
Frank McKeown. Although the gym
nasium rang with the thud of boxing
gloves on bare shoulders, and Louis
pasted Frank smartly in the jaw, the
first round was a draw, and they de-
cided to postpone the rest of it to the
real field day, which will be held when
sunshiny weather can be guaranteed
Louis Young, pitcher for the insti-
tute team, gave an exhibition of his
armless mastery of the baseball. Young
has the stump of his right arm to a
point just below the elbow. He can
throw from the crook of the elbow and
catch between his elbow and his chest.

ment to all cripples and blind persons
at wage of s25 a week. Mr.. Deitrick
declared that if the present members
of the Legislature voted against the
bill the union would run cripples
against them in the next primaries.
He said also that similar union would
soon be organized in New York.

Says Police Reserves
Haze Not Resigned
ROdnadn Wanamnker Denies De.
lection Of Staten Island Reg.
iment Because of Discomfort

Rodman Wanamaker, Special Deputy
Police Commiss oner, denied last night
that 500 members of the Police Reserve
IN Staten Island had resigned in a
body, or that any of the Manhattan
regiments planned to sever their con-
nectlon with the Police Department,
Police Commissioner Enright refused
to discuss the matter.
There absolutely is nothing to this
talk OF designations and discomfort"
said Mr.. Wanamaker. "The Police Re-
serves of New York are an example to
other cities, and any one who saw the
parade this afternoon must have real
'zed what splendid body of men they
are They marched in a drenchinp
downpour, and those who were on duty
stuck to their posts"
Lieutenant Colonel William R. Ma
ioney, of the Sixth Regiment, which
was reported to have resigned in a
oody following the parade, said last
night that he had not even heard talk
Of such thing.
Some Of the reserves have a feeling
that the administration should have
provided for the perpetuation of their
organization instead of allowing it to
20 out of existence, as it will under
the present law at the conclusion of
peace. But that does not amount to
discomfort"

French Tax Receipts
Show Heavy Growth
Increase in Imports Result of
Improved Transport and
Lifting of War Ban

PARIS, May 16.-Durng April the
sum of 681 ,225,90O francs (about $780,
ooo,OO0) was collected in France from
taxes and state monopolies, this being
an excess of 137,792,0oo francs over
the budget estimate and an increase Of
278600,200 francs over the correspond-
ing month of 1918. This brings the OK
cess over the budget estimate for Inc
first four months of 1919 to $40 .95s 900
francs, and the increase over the first
four months of 1918 to 744,164 500
francs.
In examination of the detailed flo
ures notable increase in individual
imports is revealed, this being attrjb-
uted to the improvement in transporta-
ton and elimination of some pro-
hibitions upon importatons. 1t is
noted also that taxes collected in
April of this year upon imports
were greater by 70 per cent
than those of April year ago
This increase in the volume of customs
taxes is considered an infallible SIGN
that the economic situation shortly Will

DIR. George Dow Scott
Is Sued for Separation

Alleging cruel conduct on the psrt
of her husband, DR.. George Dow ScoH
of 40 East Forty-tirst Street, M3.
Jessie Platts Scott yesterday filed sui
for separation in the Supreme CouH.
Mrs. Scott is a native of Liverpool.
and came here in August, 1914, q
the beginning of the war. She maj
ried DR.. Scott on January 90, 1911
Knowing her nationality and sent
ments, says Mrs. Scott, her husband
made references to the war tho
greatly impaired her health. The do
tor, it is alleged, talked of EnglaR
and the English people ain terms 81
contempt and contumely,' which weu
accompanied by acts of "unbearahs
rudeness." DIR. Scott also amused hin-
self, according to his wife, by spread
ing out before her newspapers print@
in the German language.
Mrs. Scott said her husband hls
property valued at $4,000 and 9
large professional income.
