Begin to Arrive
Special Dispatch to The Tribune


NASSAU, N. P, Bahamas, Dec. IT.
Nassau, after being "off the social map
during the war, has regained it's former
prestige and the present season, begin
ming with the opening of the Royal
Victoria on December 81, promises to
be very gay one. The vanguard is
already established here, including
several who will have cottages for the
season. The Porcupine Club, which is
the rendezvous of the smartest society
of Nassau, will welcome few new
members.
The official life at Government House
includes many balls and garden parties
of the true British sort, and with the
number of English and Canadian So
ciety people here Nassau assumes a
very cosmopolitan character.
This season the West Indian and
South American cruises will make Mas
sau port of call.
Lady WilliamsTaylor, of Montreal,
whose estate is the show place OF the
island, sailed on December to open
her house for the winter and expects
to entertain many guests, including
her daughter, Mrs. Frank Duff Frazier,
of New York, and others. The visits
of Palm Beach society people, flying
over for the day in one of the great
white e-winged sirplanes, add, interest
to the season, and this year there
~ ho fl,oy
before, with several fleets of air ships,
stationed at Miami and Palm Beach,
making frequent trips to Nassau. Air
time from Miami is two hours, COM
pared to eighteen hours by steamer.
Nassau will have in addition to the
regular service of the Ward Line and
the P. and O. Line this season, a
weekly service established by the
Munson Lines. This, in conjunction
with the calls Of the large cruising
steamers, will give her added re-
sources for tourists, consequently a
marked increase in the patronage Of
the resort.
Among New Workers who will arrive
at the Colonial and Royal Victoria for
their openings are Benjamin Green
and party Of six for the opening of the
Royal Victoria, John Nye, Mr.. and Mrs.
W L. Crittenden, who remain during
the entire season; II. H. Hathaway, E.
M. Bowman and Miss Bowman, all at
the Royal Victoria.
The Colonial reservations include
Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ. Wilcox, Mr.. and
Mrs. James G. Shepherd, who will ar
rive there on February from the Poin-
ciana at Palm Beach to spend six
weeks; Mclean f. Morris, Mrs. II. P
Erskine and party, Mr.. and Mrs. II. A,
White, Howard Major, who will spend
two weeks here. going later to Palm
Beach; Mrs F. M. Noble and son, Mr.
and Mrs. D'Acosta Nichols, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. C. Bowers, II. M. Baldwin, al!
of New York. Also Mr.. and Mrs: W.
H. Vicinus, of Rochester; II. Fl. Clark.
son, of Newburgh; Mr.. and Mrs. w. S
Benedict, of Brooklyn, and Mr.. and Mrs
w. w. Arnold, of Albany.
The usual number of golf events, ten.
mis- and court golf tournaments, and
pony races have been arranged, mak-
ing an attractive season of sport. Mr
and Mrs John McCutcheon, of Chicago
who own one of the small islands in
the Bahamas not far from Nassau, pay
frequent visits to the resort and also
have friends with them from time to
| time

Improved AirpIane Propeller.

Announcement Is made in the Times
of the invention of an Improved type
of arplane propeller whereby engine
power necessary for driving the air
plane will be lesSened and the vibra.
tion OF the machine will be much re-
duccd. The new type of propeller
arises from the addition III number
of veins" or flanges made of alumni
mum 10 the existing type Of propeller.
These "vcins" are about inches in
height and run parallel across the sur
face Of the propeller at a distance Of
about one foot from each other. There
are eight at the drive side four at
each end of the blade. and six on the
wind side in similar position. II Is
claimed that by this arrangement the
air is properly directed past the pro
pcller blade faces. with the result that
there is an avoidance Of the air losses
from the blade ends which through
natural causes take place In the pres
cnt type Of propeller, making possible
maximum thrust with minimum
expenditure of power.

HAVE HERITAGE OF HONESTY
stinctively That Il Is Wrong
TO Commit Theft.

II knew from child that II was
wrong to steal" said very successful
man, who has made "A fortune without
being crook.
THAT Is what saves the world" re-
piled an editor TO whom he was talk
Ing THANK heaven. all boys are
honest. They never become crooks till
they are men,"
That statement Is not perfectly, al
though In large measure. true. While
children. II trained by scoundrels. will
steal, they know instinctively that
stealing is wrong. They would much
rather be straight.
The theft of apples or watermelons
or peaches committed by youngsters
Is mischief. Show them that II Is real.
ly stealing. that they are depriving
someone else Of what is rightfully his.
and there will be no more climbing
over back fences for them.
One OF the reasons that this Is not
u difficult world In which to live IL that
honesty is instructive. and theft has to
be cultivated.
The average schoolboy despises
thief. and will have nothing to do with
him. II he reads In the newspapers
of an absconder or forger or man
who misappr0priates n trust, the lad
is shocked and dlsgusted. 1t is only
when he becomes hardened by contact
with the world, and learns that men
often prosper even though they are
dishonest. that he becomes hardened
and iustiiies his own misdeeds.
Watch crowd of boys at games,
and you will find that the cheat Is al.
ways marked and barred from the
game II he continues to cheat.
The cheat himself was not cheat
always. lie has learned cheating from
another boy. who in all likelihood
learned II from man.
AS long as we start honest. as most
of us do. the great percentage of us
are likely To remain SO. Only those
who are weak fall from their stand
ards. and even they. when the race
is over. heartily regret that they ever
were anything but fair and clean and
open minded In their dealings with
their fellows.

so MILLION POOL TO
AID STOCK RAISERS
Preliminary Plans Laid for
Loans at Conference Called
by Mellon.

Special Despatch to THE NEW Yosk HERAlp.
CHICAGO, June 15.-Preliminary plans
for the formation OF a $4,000. 900 bank
ing pool to furnish financial relief to
live stock raisers were laid at a confer
ence here to-day of bankers and live
stock men from. all parts Of the country.
members Of Congress and Representa-
tives of the Government here. After
several hours Of discussion a committee
headed by George M. Reynolds. chair
man of the Continental and Commercial
banking group OF Chicago. was Rp-
pointed to formulate general details.
+ Other bankers and hive stock men
with him were Thomas A. NARROW,
president Of the National Bank of
Helena, Mont w. l.. Thompson, vice.
president Of the First National Bank,
Portland. Ore; John Clay Of Clay &
Robinson, Chicago: E. f. Swfnney,
president Of the First National Bank Of
Kansas City; w. w. Turney. president
Of the Texas Cattle Rafsers Association ;
c. j. Jaffray. president of the First Ma
donal Bank of Minneapolis p. w.
Goebel, president of the Commercial
Bank Kansas City. and S. T. Kiddo.
president Of the Live Stock Exchange.
Chicago.
That there is need for prompt action
to finance the cattle industry Is admitted
by all Frank r. Johnson. vice-president
of the Boise City National Bank, said
the sheep men in particular "are at
crisis" and unless they are saved from
"hankrup.cy by long term notes" the re-
action on the public will be severe.
Hence the conference called at the in
stance of Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon.
The committee recommended that the
pool be formed and that the capital be
subscribed by banks throughout the
country the sums to be administered
by group of trustees in Chicago. The
committee proposed also that all appii-
cations for loans shall have the ap-
proval of committee of three bankers
of the State from which the application
emanates and that the loans shall he
made at current interest rates plus 1
per cent. as a commission to the bank
ers for administration expenses. Mr..
Reynolds said the committee believed
in no conditions would ne cost II
money to the borrowers coed per
cent.
It was recommended that loans be
made on the basis Of about rs per cent.
Of the value OF live stock. This pro-
posal is not exactly in conformity with
the ideas of the New York bankers. and
a further conference will be held in the
next few days to arrange all details
Then committee will be sent from
Chicago to confer with the Eastern
bankers. who. headed by J. p. Morgan
& Co.. offered to subscribe $4,000. 900
to the pool.
'It probably will not be practicable
for the pool to make loans directly"
Chicago member Of the conference said.
What the pool win do is to work
through local banks"

FARM OFFERINGS
SEND WHEAT DOWN
Liberal Western Receipts Indi-
cate Ample Supplies From
Old Crop.

CHICAGO, June 15.--Increased rural
offerings of new wheat to arrive had
bearish, effect on the wheat market
to-day and prices closed unsettled 3
to 3% cents net lower, with July s1.3l%
to s1.S2h and September s122A 10
$I.22h Corn finished y to B cent
down, and oats off ~ to ls to ss to u
cent. In provisions the outcome was
unchanged to 20 cents higher.
Country offerings of new wheat to be
shipped to Chicago in time for delivery
on July contracts were of sufficient
volume to put bulls at a decided dis
advantage from the outset Illinois
growers in particular se0ned to- be
pressing to SELL In addition, LIBERAL
receipts at Western points, total Jf
100000 bushels, suggested ample sup
plies of old wheat still on farms. Slow
ness of export call tended further TO
weaken the market. but this factor was
partly Offset later by word from the
seaboard that considerable business
with Germany had been put through.
Floods inc Nebraska and Kansas at
tracted notice also, and rcports>of blacd
rust in South Dakota came from a wider
area. Rallies that ensued proved, how
ever, to be only transient in the alb
sence of any aggressive buying.
Excellent crop reports and large
stocks put corn on the down grade and
carried the oats market along.
Higher quotations on hogs gave a
lift to provisions.
