Franklin K. Lane
Left No Estate
at Time of Death

The news dispatches telling that
Franklin X. Lane left no estate, but
did leave number of debts, en-
phasizes the niggardly manner In
which the government deals with its
| public servants, for Lane went to
| Washington with a fortune of $780,
! 900, enough, as he frequently said
for any man and as much as any man
ought to struggle to possess. The
whole of that fortune and his salary
as well was expended in the course
| of his public service. His pay as a
| cabinet officer proved inadequate to
the drain on his resources. But long
before he entered the cabinet he was
in the government harness at INSULT
cient remuneration. @ a.5
Franklin X. Lane went to Wash
ington as a member Of the interstate
commerce commission on the ap-
pointment Of President Roosevelt.
His position on all public questions,
even as partisan, had been determ-
ined solely by his views of right and
wrong. His appointment as secretary
Of the interior in the Wilson cabinet
occasioned more qualification than
surprise. OF all the members of that
cabinet, he was regarded as APP
preaching nearest to the realization
in practical affairs of the ideals,
which President Wilson himself en-,
tertained. In his own department
he soon established himself in such
high favor as to feel not only to de-
velop his ideas concerning Ameri-
canization, but also to participate in
the development Of American natural
resources. 53lg- #li &
1t is interesting to read that:
1t was Lane who wrote into the
Lusitania note the sentence charac-
terizing any further aggression by
Germany as deliberately I'M
friendly" 1t was Lane who began
the intensive drive for Americaniza-
tion in anticipation of the early en-
trance of this country into the war.
When war came and American troops
were promised Europe in greater
number than had been anticipated
up to that time, Secretaries Lane and
Houston adjourned from the cabinet
meeting to Lanes office and pre-
pared the amount and schedule Of
the ocean tonnage which finally car
ried these troops to France. Once
tbs war machine was under way it
was Lane who first began to think
what the country should do for the
returning American soldier, and his
plan Of returning him to the unde-
veloped land of the country resulted.
Mr.. Lane died without an estate,
but he leaves an enduring record for
faithful and unselfish public service.
Nevertheless, his case induces some
reflections-one of which is the wis
dom and justice of compromising
adequately those who are called to
aid in the management Of govern
mental affairs. Salt Lake Tribune.

MOONEY BACK AGAIN

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.--The dis
trict attorney believed that an in
justice was done in the conviction OF
Thomas j. Mooney for 1916 pre-
paredness day bomb murder, and
will present to the governor evidence
substantiating this belief, that will
compel him to act" Milton U'Ren,
assistant district attorney, said today
in opposing motion to release
Mooney under common law plead
ing.
"When Governor Stephens COM
muted MONEYS sentence from hang
ing to life Imprisonment, it demon
strated that there was doubt in
his mind as to the defendants guilt, ;"
U'Ren said. During the argument
U'Ren announced that there was
no remedy at law" for Mooney. At
this point Mrs. Rena Mooney, wife
of Mooney, arose and cried:
'Why don't you find a remedy"
The districs attorney was COM
PEELED to oppose the present action
on behalf of Mooney on the ground
that if the common law writ was
granted it could be invoked success
fully by every criminal, U'Ren said.
the action is an effort to obtain
MONEYS release on writ designed
10 obtain relief from fraudulent
judgments under the basic law.
MONEYS counsel contended that his
conviction was brought about by per-
jury, and all relief under the statu-
tory law had been denied him.
Argument on the writ was started
yesterday with Mooney present. He
was returned to the state prison last
night. The court took the motion
for the writ under advisement.-Salt

Government Has Officially Ac-
cepted New Machine.

Experts Predict That In Two Years the

Horizontal Planes Revolving In op.
posite Observation-Disclosures Was Ar.
rested by French Police as a Spy
During the War.

The French aviation world, govern.
mental and private, is deeply absorbed
at the present time in the rapid devel.
opment Of the recently invented hell
copter, the airplane which is designed
to rise straight up from the ground.
The French government after a
careful investigation by commission
Of experts, has officially accepted the
machine and has set aside a substan-
tial sum Of money for the immediate
improvement of the invention.
The Marquis r. Pateras Pescara of
Argentina is credited by some air.
plane experts. with having actually
proved its practicability, but several
Frenchmen, among whom Is NJ. L.
Filippi, have since constructed hell
cOpters with as much success as Pes
cara. Experimental work now is go
ing on near Paris at an army avia-
ton field.
Reality in Two Years.
At the Aero club Of France, where
the helicopter is the chief topic Of
conversation, experts predict that with
in two years the new airplane will be
practical reality.
Considerable surprise was expressed
by these same experts that the United
States government had apparently not
taken up the new machine, inasmuch
as 1t may materially affect sea war
fare.
The helicopter, described simply
without attempt at technicalities, Is
machine constructed Of series of
horizontal planes revolving in opp0-
site directions. On the Pescara ma
chine, base similar to that Of a low
slung automobile is used.
On this is built two series of hori-
zontal planes, each series composed Of
ten planes The usual airplane motor
starts the planes and the effect is to
make the machine rise straight from
the ground.
In the experimental work small
gas bag has been used for safety pur-
poses, but the work Is so far along
that these bags are being abandoned.
Arrested az Spy.
Pescara is conducting experiments
In Barcelona, Spain. where the French
army commission has spent several
weeks in observation. His career has
been romantic. Employed in expert
mental laboratories of the Italian gov
eminent before the war, Pescara came
to Paris soon after the beginning Of the
war and continued his work under
army supervision. He was credited
with hundreds of inventions, among
them dirigible which few over the
enemy lines and dropped bombs at
stated intervals.
Suddenly, at the height Of Pescara's
success, the French police arrested
him as spy, and he was kept in pris-
on for several months. The French
Of war protested his inno-
cence and obtained his release on con-
dition that he be deported. He left
for Spain and soon began his hellcop-
ter experiments.

KENTUCKY HEAD Of
FUND NAMED
Judge Bingham is Appointed
State Chairman Of Wilson
Foundation

Louisville, Aug. Is Announce
ment of the appointment of Judge
Robert W. Bingham as Kentucky
chairman of the Woodrow Wilson
Foundation was made in New York
yesterday by Franklin d. Roosevelt,
national chairman.
The appointment was said to have
been among the first for the forty
eight State organizations which are
to solicit subscriptions late in Octo-
Der for popular fund for endowing
an annual award in the name of for
mer President Wilson.
The specific object has been de-
fined by the Executive Committee,
according to Mr.. Roosevelt's an
nouncement, in these words:
Created by public subscription
in recognition of the national and
international services of Woodrow
Wilson, twice President of the Unit
ed State, who furthered the cause of
human freedom and was instrument
al in pointing out effective methods
for the cooperation of the liberal
forces of mankind throughout the
world.
"The award or awards from the
income of the foundation to the in
dividual or group that has rendered.
within a specified period, meritori-
Gus service to democracy, public
welfare, liberal thought or peace
through Justice"
Hamilton Holt, editor of the In
dependent, who is acting as execu-
tive director of the foundation, is
carrying on the work of organiza-
ton along nonpartisan lines, aiming
merely to provide an opportunity for
a public tribute to the cause of
liberalism. National headquarters
have been established at $50 Nassau
Street, New York.

II am very sorry for the develop
ments arising when it looked like
we had jury. The defense's at
tack on one of the panel on alleged
irregularity of his selection and
trial ON that motion developed that
a member of the Jury Commission
upon completion of his servicSA at
the last term of court retain ~ a
partial list of probably 100 or go
names put into the wheel.
Commissioner Violated Duty
whether this was done through
improper motives or not do not
know but, assuming that it was
not, it constituted violation of the
Commissioners duty, and because OF
that fact and in light Of the fact that
this case was sent to this county for
trial on change of venue and is i'm.
portant and holds widespread inter-
est throughout the State do not
think jury trying the case should
be selected from the list supplied by
the Jury Commissioner at the last
term of court.
"Our purpose is to give the case a.
fair and impartial trial. Develop
ments of the hearing cast more or
less reflection on the jury and on
the list contained in the wheel, and
am unwilling TO proceed where
there is a question of the legality OF
the proceedings.
II want the verdict returned by
the jury in this case to command
the respect of the people of the en-
tire State. The question of improp-
err selection of jury indicted into
the case, whether substantlating
cause for complaint or not, would
cause some question as to the result
finally obtained and this is what the
court is trying to avoid"
He then directed the Sheriff to-
bring the jury back into court. =.

500 A. Il. +. DEAD SAVED
FROM FIRE ON PIERS

Hoboken, N. j., Aug. 24.-Five
hundred bodies of American soldier
dead, awaiting shipment to the
homes of relatives, were removed in
safety late today when fire of un-
known origin swept over the army
water front reservation here, de-
stroying Piers and 6, and an ad-
joining army storehouse and bar
racks.
Pier 4, at which the giant liner
Leviathan and the transport Whea-
ton were locked, was saved with
difficulty. The flames licked the
sides of the Leviathan, damaging a
small section of the woodwork on
the bow and the forward mast, but
a fireboat wedged its way between
the liner and the burning pier and
successfully fought off the flames as
they spread to the huge craft.
When tho fire broke out there
were 500 bodies in the large rooms
at the junction of Piers 4 and s. AS
coon as the alarm was sounded Capt.
ii. S. Wilbur, officer Of the day, call
ed out the entire army personnel,
about $50 men, who started remov-
ing the bodies. Four hundred long
shoremen, on duty at nearby piers,
assisted.
One thousand other bodies were
lined up on Pier 4, but inasmuch as
the flames did not come near them
they were not disturbed. The trans
port Wheaton. which recently ar
rived here with 5000 bodies. still
had 1000 aboard when the fire
broke out, but it was on the opposite
side of the pier from which the fire
was located.

VAST AMOUNT OF UNTAX-
ED WEALTH IN STATE

That there is a vast amount Of
untaxed wealth in the State is un-
questioned as the State Tax Com
mission is authority for the state
ment that in 1917 there was not
less than $500, 100000 taxable
property in the State and subsequent
estimates place the figures at not
less than $4,000, 900, 900, which
does not appear to be excessive, ac-
cording to the census reports of the
value of farming and mining prop
ery. The figures are suggestive:
: Farm land and improve
ments valued at ..$1,511,9O1,O77
Agricultural imple-
ments $500. 4S,30f'oo1
Livestock 80. -. 15S,3S7.2S4
All the lands and improvements
thereon in the State, exclusive OF
town lots, are assessed at only $780,
S04,734; agricultural implements at
s12,762,03S and livestock at $685.
S14,699.
When 1t comes to mineral and
timber lands the omitted values are
still more striking, as the census re-
ports 124,00O. 100000 tons of un-
mined coal alone in the State OF
Kentucky, valued at O0.000,O00
without considering the other vaiua-
BILE natural resources of the State.
: Thus agricultural and mining
property represents value Of over
$4,000, OO0. 900. and other property
is certainly worth a billion more
making a toal of $4,000, 900. 900 In
value, of which less than one-half
is now taxed.
In other States the taxable value
Of unmined mineral products Is
recognized and they are taxed as
other property. and in one State the
taxes ON 1000. 900. 000 tons of un-
mined iron ore produces revenue
Of over $1,000. 900 annually for
State and local purposes. and iron
ore is much less valuable per ton
than coal.
II is only within the last ten years
that minerals have been regarded as
proper subjects for taxation, but the
practice Of imposing taxes on such
property ID now very generally OBJ
served and accepted by all concern
cd ~ reasonable and right.
Not only is the taxation Of natural
RESOURCES tustinable. but the enec'
