PAPERS DISPLEASED
AT SPA CONFERENCE

Paris, July 1.-THE allied-German
conference at Spa seems to have
failed to satisfy the Paris newspa-
pers.
THE conference" remarks st.
Brice in the Journal, wandered
from the path to quick results, which
is not the least of the regrets which
It leaves behind It."
The Figaro says:
1.-The least that can be said is that
che situation remains confused and
disquieting."
Indemnities received by the allies
from Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria
will be divided into two equal por-
tons, according to advices received
from Spa The first half will be
distributed TO the-various nations in
the same proportions as were de-
cided upon in apportioning German
reparations. OF the second half Italy
will receive 80 per cent. and the
rest will be divided between Serbia.
Rumania and Greece

Constantinople, July 16-(By The
A. P)-Twelve Greek leaders. in
Guiding a priest, have been hanged
by the Nationalist at Songuldak on
the Black Sea coast, about $50 miles
east Of Constantinople. Many Greeks

The Emir of Afghanistan is work
ing to succeed the Sultan of Turkey
as commander of the faithful, ac-
cordtng to reports reaching this city
from Angora, where Pan-Islamic
conferences have been in session for
several months.
This congress, in which represen-
tatives of Afghanistan, Syria, Turkey,
Arabia, India, Persia, Azerbaijan,
Crimea, Egypt and Tripoli are TAX
ing part. is chiefly concerned with
filling the Office Of commander of the
faithful in such manner as to unity
the Moslem world.
The congress apparently is a con-
tinuation of the plan for consolida-
tiontion of the Mohammedan world
originated by Enver Pasha former
Turkish minister of war and leader
of the Young Turk Party, and fos-
tered by the former imperial German
government

OLD NICKEL CAR
REGISTER RINGS

Wil1imantic, July 17-Coincident
with the first anniversary of the troll
leymen's strike on the branches of the
Shore Line Electric Railway in East
ern Connecticut, changes were made
today regarding fare zonesI About
year ago the two and a half cent
method Of fares was put into effect
but yesterday the old nick1e rate was
resumed and it is working well. The
old clock register in the rear of the
car is being used to ring up fares and
it's sound is as welcome as the strains
of Sweet Genevieve'' used to be at
the games of the Milk Man League.
The strike was never settled and
but few of the 500 employees return
ed to work. 1t began on July 16 and
the first car in operation between
Norwich and Willimantic was run on
August 49, 1t was nine weeks before
a car was run on the South Coventry
Willimantic branch.

Think CEISSLER
HAD OTHER WIFE

New London, July 17-Bernard o.
Geissler, chauffeur, who shot and
killed Mrs. Arthur De Cordova and
then shot himself, may have been
married at least once before meet
ing the present Mrs. GeissIer, whom
he married in 1917. Several affairs
with women have been credited to
him, but the following letter, receiv-
ed today by Captain of Police Charles
A. Pinney points strong suspicion to
such a possibility:
Dear Sir:-Can you please give
me description of Mr.. Geiss1er in
this tragedy of the De Cordovas? My
husband has been missing for the
past five years his name is Edward
Geissler-and has frequently used
the name of Bernard. He is about
five feet, nine inches, sandy haired or
bleach blonde. His age is 20 years
and he is a jack of all trades.
"The description in the papers
compare with this. He was a great
fancier of women and this was the
reason for him deserving me with nay
little boy.
Hoping you will take an interest
in my letter, I am
Respectfully yours.
MRS. Geiss1er.
"Care of Mrs. Blasch, 80 Gerry ST.,
Brooklyn, N. Y"
The description Of her husband
given by the writer of the above let
ter closely resembles that of the
chauffeur. The dead man is a trif1e
shorter than she described, although
this might be accounted for by the
fact that she states that she was
guessing regarding his height, and ex-
cept that his hair was more of a red
dish hue.

WORLDS PRODUCTION OF GOLD
Estimates for 1919 and 5000

The United States Geological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior, has
given out some preliminary figures
showing the production Of gold
throughout the world In 1919. The
production in the United States was
$5S, 2s5, 1876; Canada is reported to
have produced $14,6s7, 900; India
S10,02S, 900; Australia (not including
New Zealand or the Islands,, $29,-
5000: the Transvaa1, $171,64O,123;
Rhodesia and West Africa, $1s;631,-
070.
There was a probably large de-
crease in the production of gold in
Russia and Siberia in 1919. Some in
crease was probably made in the out
put of Central America and South
America, which. however, was doubt
less offset by decreases in the output
Of other countries. The incomplete
returns now available indicate that
the worlds production of gold in 1919
was between s345, 100000 and $780,
100000. The worlds production in
1918 amounted to $3.50, 924,50O.
The Geological Survey further
states that information received dur
ing the first six months of 1920 indi-
Gates a still further decrease in the
production of gold in the United
States and that the output for the
year will probably be less than $780,
100000. The production in Alaska
Colorado. California, Oregon, and
Montana will be much less in 1920
than it was in 1919, because water is
very short for placer mining and
many stamp mills are closed.
Canada a whole may increase its
output, although the production OF
the Yukon districts will be smaller
than last year. The output of Russia
can not be estimated. That of Aus
tralia will show a decrease.
That of South Africa and South
America will probably show no radi
cal decrease. According to the Geo
logical Survey the indications are tina
| the decrease in the worlds produc
| ton of gold in 1920 will not be 81
great as it was in 1919
