the 3ncorporators. All are wealthy.
Resources Not Stated.
The exact purposes of the foundation
andaits ultimate resources are not re

John p. Nugent, who introduced 1t,
said he knew no more of the founda.
ticn than the information contained
In the bill.

tific research; to provide shelter, the
necessities of live, financial and medl.
cal assistance for those destitute and
IN want and to provide hospitals in
New York State, the United States
and foreign countries.
The foundation is the latest of sew
eral philanthropic movements by the
family of the coal operator. Mr.. Mar
kle began his career by assuming fun
charge of his fathers business in the
northeastern Pennsylvania anthracite
fields.
He ended a 500, 900 drive at Albany
for a dornlitory for homeless men by
donating the $4,000 at a luncheon
opening the campaign last November.
A library at Hazelton, Pa, stands as
memorial to his parents.

wealth. beyond a mans necessary lv-
Ing expenses, should be regarded as a
trust and applied to the benefit of
mankind.
Mr.. Markle began to retire last De.
cember, ending so years of activity.
He disposed of his ajority stock
holdings in the Jeddo Highland Coal
Co. and the Jeddo Supply Co. for
$3.50, 900 in bonds. His fortune has
been estimated at several times that
figure.
Philosophy of Donor.
Although coming from a coal mining
family, Mr. Markle made the greater
part of his fortune himself. His favor

OF his philosophy of life, Mr. Marl1le
has said:
"All you get out of life is a living.
and that degree of living is evidenced
by the condition of your mortal body;
and every dollar that you have in
excess of the cost of living is evidence
of your success in the commercial
world as much as your diploma from
college is evidence that you have
ba ssed the curriculum. With these
funds in your possession. you become
rustee for your fellow men and should

Mr.. Markle and Mrs. Markle, who is
an invalid, live in a 24-room duplex
apartment on Park avenue, and as
this was not large enough to house

fit bridge party to be held at the
parish house at 8 p. m. Friday eve
ming, February 4, to which the public
is invited. The playing fee bof so
cents a person is to be given to the
Army Relief society.
This society is almost one of the
traditions of the army It is of ma
tional scope, having branches at every
military post where troops are sta
toned, both in the United States and
in outlying possessions. The Army
Relief society was founded in WASH
ington, d. c., nearly SO years ago by a
small group of army women to relieve
suffering among wives and children
of soldiers and to aid them during
times of personal distress. The So
ciety in no way comes into competi-
tion with the american Red Cross and
similar agencies, but furnishes help
when and where there is no, other
means of relief.
Mrs. A. T. Wilson of Camp Harry J.
Jones, who is chairman of the commit
tee, states prizes will be given Friday
evening and refreshments served and
that she hopes all the friends of the
army and of the local post will be pres
ent. Reserve officers have been au-
thorized to attend in uniform if they
desire.

Levee Breaks Add
To Arkansas Floods

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb. 2.-B-
Two new breaks in the levees of the
st. Francis river today added to the
distress of flood conditions in eastern
Arkansas, where overflows from the
White river, the ST. Francis and
smaller streams have inundated more
than 100000 acres and have forced
hundreds of families from their homes.
The west levee of the ST. Francis
yielded to the high waters near Tulot,
Poinsett county today and caused the
flooding of Tulot, Weona and the
Oak Donick hunting and fishing club.
Just north of this area another break
occurred through which the waters
poured totloverrun Hatchie Coon and

estimate the refugees at Cotton Plant

it would nos accept such a report.
Senator Watson, republican, In

TALKING MOVIE
ACTUALLY
IN LABORATORY.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Feb. P)-
Talking motion pictures soon are to
be an actuality on the silver screens
of theatres
The General Electric company pro-
ducers of the new "Photophone," are
working on half dozen contracts
calling for immediate production OF
projection machines and the only
new invention is on eof adoption to
a new and different method in crea-
tive art.
At a second demonstrations of the
new pictures today, it was explained
that directors find some difficulty in
excluding from the film extraneous
noises not meant to be in the talk
ing pictures. Actors must be eau
toned not to make unnecessary noise
and must be coached to speak their
parts. at the proper moment as they
would do were they on the stage of
the spoken drama.
In the experimental pictures today
the problem of the actor was largely
strations showed the use of incidental
music ia connection with future
picture, the strains of 1O0-piece
orchestra flooding every corner of
the exhibition room. The low fre-
Guency tones, hitherto found diff
cult to reproduce were easily identi-
fled
The music was in exact time with
the action of the film.
The pictures on which the company
is working are not in dramatic
form, due to the studio problem and
the human element. The releases
therefore will reproduce only bands
and addresses with the sounds Incl
dent thereto. AS the technique is
later developed, production will turn
to dramas.
The new device is a combination of
the usual motion picture protector
and the allophotophone. an invention
of DR.. C. A. Hoxie, of the General
Electric company's research staff. By
means of vibrating beam of light
produced from impressions alongside
the pictures on the film, Photographic
sound is re-translated into audibility
and the sound is ampli1ied by a loud
speaker.

Nicaragu embroglio, so recently n
subject of outspoken controversy

game of patient waiting.
For some days no news of I'M.
portant military operations has comr
from the seat of WA. The Wash.
ington administration, having replied
to its critics by. reinforcing it's po-
sition both diplomatically and in a
military sense appears content to
stand fast and await results. Even
the typhoon of debate that has swept
congress is subsiding without tan
gible action.
The question now uppermost in
the minds of official Washington is
how long the contending Nicaraguan
factions will be able to hold tht
present apparent deadlock. The latest
official outgivng from the Sacast
camp was not hopeful The Dia2
government, on the other hnd, is
growing more silent as the weeks
drag on without decisive results.

Young, today announced that Mrs
Young had declared in letter to
him that she was "tricked' into
signing the 60-40 per cent contract
drawn between George Young, Can
adian swimmer, and Henry OByrne,
his trainer Sheldon said the letter
authorized him to repudiate the con-
tract and use every means to break
it.
The attorney said the letter was
witnessed by Miss Isabella Young,
sister-in-law of Mrs. Young, and that
he has notified commercial houses
and theatres having contracts for the
young Catalina channel swimmer that
if they pay any money to Young or
O'Byrne, they do so at their own risk.
Sheldon will not enter suit, he
added, but would declare the contract
void.

such credits would be deposited in any

low the stipulated amount and was
not made good in 80 days, the institu-

organized under the state laws would
be required before July l, 1880, and
on or before January l of each year
thereafter, to deposit with the super

refusing to pay depositors upon proper
demand could be deemed insolvent by
the superintendent, who could liquidate
it's assets at his discretion.
A measure by Akers of Maricopa

a board of bankers to be placed in
