CARAVAN DEMANDS
HARDING CLEAR HIM
Writes to President That He
Has Been Grossly Mis-
led by Daugherty.

New York.-Flatly refusing to return
to the United States government a
single chemical patent right owned by
the Chemical Foundation Inc, OF
which he is president, Francis P. Gar
van, in spirited and energetic letter
to President Harding, asserted that
the President, grossly misled by the
attorney-general," is, for the first time
in American history, attempting to
abrogate a solemn Executive order of
predecessor, and is acting, moreover,
on information furnished by German
agents and interpreted by lawyers
whose sole knowledge OF the war and
its lessons is derived from association
with German clients"
Absolute legality in the sale of 400
and odd former German patents to the
Foundation, and complete publicity in
the organization and operation of this
quasi-public institution, together with
the highest Of ethical motives, are
earnestly maintained by Mr. Garvan in
his communication, and he asserts with
emphasis that no person connected
with the Foundation has ever made a
dollar out Of 1t, or ever could do so
under its charter and bylaws, himself
least Of all he fortifies that statement
with figures which show that the CAPT
tai of the institution consisted Of S428,-
900, all of which has been spent in the
purchase of the patents and in educat-
ing the people through schools and
colleges and in the encourageme of
chemical societies, and says that the
Foundation income from licenses bare
" meets the modest running expenses.
All of these financial details have
long been available Mr.. Caravan re-
minds President Harding, and demands
that the President ascertain the truth
and tell the people whether the Foun-
dalton and its head have deserved the
abuse they have received
"Gave All and Got Abuse"
1T has given It's ALL Mr.. Caravan
writes "You can take away nothing
but the opportunity OF service. 1t was
all we got from the government. It |
Is all we have.
"Mr. President, you have had the
temerity to fmpugn the honor of the
gentlemen who boast a part in tho
great work OF building up or preserv-
Ing the possibility OF progress In or
ganic chemistry for America. You have
again been misi1formed as to the
nature of the trust we bore. That trust
was not for the German Kartel, the
owner OF practically all the important
patents, who had received them under
the unthinking graciousness of laws
they had induced. That trust was for
the American people, their industrial
independence and for the safety and
health Of their children and their chill
dren's children"
At the outset of his letter Mr.. Caravan
states that he has forwarded To the
Alien Property Custodian the Chemical
Foundations formal answer TO his
demand, an answer "as an American
corporation ready at all times TO de-
Tend It's rights in the courts" but that

LEAD GOES UP;
MINERS HAPPY
INCREASED PRICE FOR ORE
RAISES PAIL OF GLOOM
IN SPELTER AREA

PLATTEVILLE.-M men re-
Elected animation of a rejuvenated
character the first of the week at the
first wire reports brought in the in
telligence that the lead ore quotations
had broken from their moorings and
were sailing upward. The market for
80 per cent lead ore last week had
gone by steady leaps and bounds from
SCI to $65 per ton. The same sky
rocket ascension continued this week
and early Joplin reports carried the
price to 500 a ton for standard grade
lead ore. 1t is hardly likely that top
has been reached, as East st. Louis
pig-lead quotations travelled lively
clip and went lover the top" at sos
cents pound.
Everybody is talking lead. Leases
are being sought on all sides where
it is thought probable a lead ore vein
may be located. Experienced miners
who in their time operated ground
where they knew lead ore may be
found are hunting up the owners and
seeking mining rights. Good wealth
er and return of good roads will
witness some of the liveliest pros
pecting seen in the mining field since
1906
One operator in this city and the
owner of as fine zinc mine as there
is to be found in the field, offers to
lay wagers Of 500 or better that lead
ore will go to 1925 per ton. He has
found no taker as yet. He may be
more optimistic at that than most
operators, but his experience in min
ing has proven that it was his optim-
ism when all was drab and dreary
that has put him where he is the
owner of big zinc mines and two of
the finest farms in southwest Wis
consin. At one time his horse and
buggy was taken from him to pay a
board bill and he had to walk to
town and back from his prospect.
