Wealth And Its Uses.-The accumulation of great wealth in the hands of the Rocke- fellers has been A fine thing for the world. The Rockefellers are philanthropists. They use their money for the good of the govern ment, and for the good of the people. Great wealth. however, in the hands of men of the Doheny type is menace to the safety of the republic. -Anniston Star.

ACTION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The dis

watched carefully by several members
of the house irrigation committee, VINO
believe the course pursued In regard 20
The shoals may influence action on tne
Johnson-Swing bill, which is pending
in the irrigation committee.
The Johnson-Swing measure, which
would provide for development by tne
government of flood, control, power
and irrigation dam at Boulder canyon
on the Colorado river, it was polnted
out. presents situation similar to that
involving the shoals properties, nciud-
ing the controversial question OF gov.
ernment ownership and operation OF
water power projects.
Should congress, with respect to the
shoals, 60 on record as opposed TO gov.
eminent development and ownership OF
the nations water power resources, 1t
is thought by some members of the
committee that this action would have
to be taken into consideration in dis
posing of the bill.
Some committee members, however,
declare that the two projects cannot
be considered as presenting the same
question of policy. Supporters of the
johnson Swing bill assert that the pro-
posed dam at Boulder Canyon involves
primarily flood control and irrigation,
with the development and sale of power
affording the government a means OF
defraying the cost and maintenance of
the dam as a secondary consideration.

BODIES OF FOUR

Ten Year Mystery Of
Karluk's Fate Solved
BY Hunters

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Nov. %
With the discovery of the remains of
four bodies, buried in the snow and
ice on Herald Island, another tragedy
of the great land north of the Arctic
Circle has been revealed and the mys-
terry surrounding the fate of the crew
of the steamship Karluk. which sank
while on an exploring expedition in the
Northland, has been solved.
Capt. Lewis L. Pane, master of the
schooner Herman, found the bodies
while hunting walrus on the island with
Sidney Snow, hunter and explorer.
Lane told of his discovery and identi-
fication of the bodies when the Her
man locked here.
1t has been ten years since the Karluk
set out on the exploration cruise for
the Canadian government and never
returned. She was caught in the treach-
erous ice floes of Arctic waters and
crushed to splinters.
Members of the exploration party
made their way across the floating bits
of ice to Wrangle Island, where they
pitched a camp and waited for rescuers
to find them.

After months of hardship during
which time there were several suicides
and others died from exposure and

body of the marooned explorers were
rescued. A hunt for the other eight
men proved futile.
Captain Lane, however, identified the
bodies which were found by his men
MS those of the Mckay party headed
by DR.. A. f. Mckay, veteran Northland
explorer. This cleared up the mystery
surrounding the fate Of half the miss.

Captain Lane brought back parts of
the dental work found in the skulls Of
the men. He believes this evidence will
offer a clue to their identity and con.
firm his opinion that the men were
those of DIR. McKay's party.

HOUSTON, Tex, Nov. 23.-Eight
hundred men, commanded by General

Flores, recently defeated candidate for
president of Mexico, have risen against
the government and are marching to-
wand the border of Durango, accord
ing to dispatches received here by La
Tribuna, Mexican language newspaper.
Previous communication to the paper
stated that mobilization was in prog
ress in the northern part Of Sonora
duting the latter part of the week. Sew
eral hundred men were said to be pro-
ceeding south toward Cuiliacan to join
the Sinaloa Floristas and attempt to
corral the railways Of northern Mexico
Reliable information stated that the
movement against Gales has been in
progress for some time, but had been
withheld because of the sworn allegi-
ance by military leaders to Obregon.
The presidents withdrawal from office
at the end of the month is given as the
reason for the uprising.

& Made Known When Time
lock Is Repaired.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Feb. 21.--
Police today are investigating the
robbery Of the Broadway branch,
Commerce Union bank Of approx
r1ately $4,000 in cash, discovered
late last night when the time lock
on huge. safe was repaired after
Il had been damned for two days.
Z While the actual amount Of
money stolen has not been disclosed
1t is known that it will not total
less than $4,000. Insurance COW
Ors the loss, bank officials said.
The door of the safe was found
Jammed Tuesday morning when the
time lock failed to function. Lock
experts were called and it was not
until late last night that an entry
into the safe was made. The rob-
berry Is believed to have been COM
mitted sometime between Monday
night and early Tuesday morning.
Detectives are working upon two
theories, one that 1t was an "in-
side" job and the other that the
burglar was hidden in the bank and
when the time lock went off made
hurried robbery and jammed the
lock after making the haul. A dia-
fsnond ring, property Of one Of the
employees Of the bank, which was
inside the safes also was missing.
Detectives are today questioning
the employees of the bank.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The three
most important requisites in an in.
vestment bond today are safety,
first and last Of these factors are
entirely dependent on the financial
status Of the issuing companies.
Marketability is aided in some de-
grees by the stock exchanges, since
they furnish q meeting ground
where buyers and sellers can con-
veniently carry on their transac.
tons. That they are not essential
to the bond business is evidenced
by the large volume Of trading con-
Quoted outside Of their precincts.
With the exception of the New York
City issues, the enormous volume Of
municipal bond buying in this city,
the financial center Of the country,
is conducted lover the counter" in
big investment houses and banking
institutions. Through the close CO.
operation Of the daily newspapers,
quotations on important municipal
Issues are readily available to in
Vestors.
Marketability Of unlisted bonds"
Is in most cases furnished through
the investment bond distributors
whose customers are widely scat
tered throughout the country, and
who are cOnversant with their re.
Quirements and their preferences in
bond buying. Offers to sell or buy
from one set of customers are in
most cases matched by similar offers

RAILROAD LARGE USERS
OF STEEL PRODUCTION
FURNISHED by W. 3. Hieb. 4 co;l

Close to 30 per cent Of all steel
purchases so far this year have
been for the railroads, according
to the Iron Age which points out.
that II this rate keeps up it will
mean about 10 per cent more than
the production, according to the re-
view, last year. -
Demand from other channels is
we'll scattered and has encouraged
expansion Of steel making activity.
production, according to the review
now appears close to a $4,000. OOO-
ton annual rate with the Steel Cor.
poration operating at better than
"a per cent Of capacity. The re.
view states:
The large volume has resulted
without the stimulus of a threaten.
ed price advance and gives no sign
or abatement because the coal
strike threat has been removed.
Though jobbers' stocks are re-
ported fully up to normal, there
are cases of both jobbers and manu-.
featuring consumers specifying for
quantities in excess Of their first
quarter contracts. The indication
OF heavy consumption Is accom-
panied by little extension Of deliv-
cry dates, supply keeping close
step with increasing demand. 1t is
difficult to find a parallel for the
situation Of buyers combining their
takings to 30 and 60 days in the
face Of IS per cent of capacity
operations.
Belief that no higher prices are
ahead accounts in part for the con.
sentative buying attitude. It has
been bolstered by the action of the
American Sheet & Tin Plate Co., in
opening its books on February 10,
on sheets and tin plate for second
quarter delivery at today's prices.
The car buying in prospect seems
large, though some Of it still is
indefinite. The Norfolk & Western
increased it's orders from 1000 to
5000 cars, and the past weeks
purchases in all were over $500.
The cars for the New York Central
and Pennsylvania are expected to
take 100000 tons and more of steel.
Railroad requirements account
for more than $4,000 tons of the
$4,000 tons of structural steel award
ed during the week.
