Where Poe Wrote.
New York's Claim to Two OF His
Finest Poems.

To THE New YORK HERALD DR.. Nor
san's interesting statement that Poe's
" Raven was born--as far as a master
piece can be said to have been born in
any one spot--in Sandy Welsh's
beer cellar tempts me to note that
"Annabel Lee" possesses a similar claim
to nativity within the present geographi-
cal confines of this big city of New York.
A tablet on the site of the Poe cottage
here recites that it is placed by the New
York Shakespeare Society to identify the
cottage ''in which died his [Poe'sl wife.
Virginia, and in which he wrote Anna
bel Lee 1s46-1s49."
"As far as masterpiece can be said
to have been born in any one spot" DR..
Morgan well indeed remarks. for "The
Raven" is said by several witnesses to
have been first read in public by Poe in
Philadelphia. Seven years earlier John
Sartain, the engraver of that city
(some time editor of SartGin's Maga-
stne). says that Poe read to him at about
the same time "Annabel Lee"
If there is to be internecine war be-
tween New York and Philadelphia as to
the birthplaces Of Poe masterpieces, !
am glad that the weighty authority Of
DR.. Morgan and the New York Shake-
spearian Society is arrayed on the side
of New York city.
Perhaps 1t will clear the smoke Of bat
tie away IL quote from a book which
has caused more controversy perhaps
than any Life" of Poe--saying sharp
things about Mrs. Glenn and the poets
home life with her that nobody seems
to be willing to believe-"The Home
Life Of Poe" by Mrs. C. M. Weiss. The
quotation follows:
Once when Poe sat in my parior eating
grapes he said to mo:
g The Raven was never completed. 1t
was ublished before I had given IL the
final touches. There We're in 1t certain
knotty points and tangles which l had
never been able to overcome. and let

Our Gold Holdings.

Gold holdings of the United States
on June 1 were $3,175,037,19 We
now have full 40 per cent. Of the
$7,797 100000 estimated gold stock
Of the world. This new peak Of our
gold pile is higher by $S0,000.000
than the $3,095,077, ,467 we owned ON
July 1. 1919, our previous high mark.
Our gold holdings on June were
equal to more than our total cur.
rency supply in 1908, including gold,
silver, nickel, copper and paper. The
world production of gold in the $50
years from 1890 to 1850 was only
S3,149, 100000, or $26,O0O,000 less
than the lump sum we now own.
No other country in the history Of
the world ever has been the custo-
dian of so colossal a gold fund. But
this is not clinking pile Of coin and
bullion merely to boast about. 1t
carries responsibilities the like Of
which no other nation has had to
face. In normal times gold is an au-
tomato governor Of credit. 1t pro-
notes trade and facilitates large
money transactions with marvellous
ease and lack of commotion.
In abnormal times like the present
gold may be curse or blessing,
according to how 1t is administered.
1t can rob nation of its purchasing
power, though the gold may be locked
demonetize itself, as it has done in
some of the European nations, when
paper money issues force the suspen-
sion Of specie payments and stop gold
exports.
Conversely gold is the only me-
dunn which can be employed to
straighten or. an international eco
nomic tangle, when, as is the case to-
day. there is huge surplus of goods
in one-half of the world and short
age in the other half.
But to obtain the benefits which
may be had from our gold fund it
must be administered wisely. The
nation will be fortunate if another
chapter is not contributed to the long
history Of mistakes made by nations
in the handling of concentrated gold
funds.
Gold is the foundation of credit:
credit is the foundation of modern
commerce. This spirited tandem of
gold and credit may be as easily rid
den to ruin as controlled. But it
surely can be, and soon or late 1t
surely will be, harnessed to tlss
greater glory Of our commerce if
American trading genius is only a
tithe of what it was in the century
and quarter past.
Let our great gold fund get to
work!

Notable additions to the collections OF
placed on public view to-day. They In
clude a second ancient Chinese pottery
figure of life size Lohan or hermit. a
pair Of portraits by Largilliere. an early
Buddhistic painting. gift of needlework
an Ascension by follower Of Albrecht
Durer, and sculptured panel by Jacques
Juliot the elder. Three tapestries illus
trating the history OF the sabines and
landscape by Corot and one by Theodore
Rousseau, also have been added to the
permanent collections OF the museum
through the bequest of the late Eloise l..
Breese Norrie, who was Mrs. A. Gordon
Norrie. The tapestries. which are Flem-
ish Of the middle Of the seventeenth CEN
tury, were loaned to the museum in 1898
and have hung since then in the gallery
of arrnor.
The pottery Lohan. the mate Of the
striking figure placed on view last win
ter, is an impressive work and the mu.
scum counts itself fortunate to possess
two examples Of such beauty and In such
excellent condition from the famous
series of twelve unearthed In a rock
grotto in China about ten years ago
The figure represents an aged sage hold
fpg a scroll and looking ahead with an
expression of experience and wisdom.
The attitude and air of repose recall
another figure Of the same series in the
British Museum whose beauty this one
Is said to rival. The series dates from
the Tang dynasty. 800 to 900 A. D.. and
represents the earlier work of the pot
ter's art of this size IN existence.
The portraits of the Baron and Bar
oness of Prangins by Largilliere are fine
examples of the portraiture OF the eight
eenth century in France. Both are done

Tho Relatively Of the Squirrel

To THE NEW YORK HrRALp: The prob
lem Of the squirrel and the hunter
seems to have become rather cornpli-
Gated. The various methods suggested
to prove one contention or the other are
not fulfilling their purpose. The method
that comes nearest to getting anywhere
is by the use of ropes. But by the time
we have untangled tother from which
the answer seems to be further away
than ever.
] shall endeavor to prove to one and
all that the hunter does not walk around
the squirrel or for that matter the
squirrel around the hunter. When walk
ing around any object all sides must
be exposed to view. Let that sink IN.
Upon It rests the unravell,ng of this
stupendous question. the only questio.
to date regarding RELATIVELY which ha
interested any one to any extent. and.
sad to relate, one which vas asked long
before Einstein ever got his name in
print.
Let us repeat, "All sides must be ex-
posed to view" Now suppose this pa-
rade goes in a cloclzwise direction. The
hunter would see. II the tree We're NOT
In the way. the right eide Of the souir-
rel at all times during the circuit.
Therefore he has not walked around
the squirrel
II this does not satisfy the doub.ers
let them add this question to their list
II the hunter walks around the squirrel
and the squirrel has not walked around
the hunter has the hunter at any time
during the walk. which. IL k hoped. he

There is no length to which the
Secretary of the Navy may elect to
go that can do harm to Admiral
SIMS. The brandishing of official
power, court-martialling even, can do
him no injury in the eyes of the
American people, in the eyes of the
world. His great position did not
come to him over night as mamma
from heaven. He won it through
years Of work, years Of thought.
years of patient toll in naval tactics
and naval warfare.
The achievements of Admiral SIMS
are carved out Of the solid rock.
They are imperishable. They are OF
the kind that place man among
the immortals. History will write
the name of SIMS big across its
pages; it is already ineffaceably writ
ten in the hearts of the American
people.
The ill-advised telegram of Secre-
tary DENBY to Admiral SIMS per-
emptorily commanding his immediate
return reveals regrettable lack OF
poise in the present head of our Navy.
An effort to humiliate or degrade
Admiral SIMS, be it done by an Of
fetal of the Government or by Con-
gress itself, can have no justifica-
tion. All this hysteria over the Sims
utterance reveals political sub
serviency that Is disheartening to
clear headed. honest thinking Atneri-
cans.

purely domestic affairs could be con-
centrated in the present Department
of the Interior, including welfare,

The cardinal departments thus cut
from ten to eight. there would be a
clean saving of prodigious machin'
cry, money and vexation. The Presi-
dents councils would be better off.
The public service would be better
of. The national taxpayers would be
better off. The whole country would
be better off.

An Indoor Sport for Gunner and for
Game Keeper.

To TRE New YORK HERALD: II ono

represent tree. Have some one tie a
rag on a cane to represent the squirrel
Let the gunner get ready to shoot Now
keep moving the rag (squirrel) slowly
around the chandelier as the gunner
cautiously follows and tries to see
enough Of the rag TO get good shot.
This the one with the rag must prevent
by keeping just far enough ahead Of
the gunner to prevent that huntsman
from seeing enough Of the rag to war
rant shooting. Let him keep this up un-
til he Is satisfied he cannot catch up
with the squirrel though he has been
around the chandelier several times.
This being the case he could not have
gone around the squirrel though around
the tree several times.

night as a result of knife Or pistol
wounds received Saturday night dur

Sheriff Bon Buchanan attempted to
halt parade of Ku KluX Klansmen,

pressed the great regret that such a
thing should occur anywhere in the
state" and announced he had offered

pressed great regret that such thing
should occur anywhere in the state,
and stated that soon after he heard OF
the occurrence yesterday, he tender-
ed his official services and the aid OF
the state to the county officials OF
McLennan county to help them in
every way possible in searching out
the truth in upholding the law in
every way.
The governors offer was declined
with thanks by County Attorney F.
