Botanist Recalled as
Ben Fronk[in's Friend

When Benjamin Franklin re
turned from lis long stay in Eng
land, where he had spent much
time with Peter CollinsOn, the Eng
lish botaniSt, he became highly I'M
popular with the Americans for a
time, and his treatment caused
Collinson to write warning letters
to the English government, ex-
pressing the belief that America
might attempt a revolution for in
dependence from the mother cOun-
try.
1t was Collinson's information
and encouragement that first in
duced Franklin to interest himself
in electricity and COllinsOn pub
lished his friends experiments to
the Royal society, defended him
against their criticisms, and secured
his election as a fellow, says a
writer In the Christian Science
Monitor.
As a botanist CollinsOn obtained
many native plants from the early
coloniStS in America and distrib-
uted them among landowners in
England.

Colonel Polk and received with
shouts and huzzas.' In accord
ance with a provision in the resolu-
tions themselves, they were trans
mitted to the Continental con
gress, where the persons ap-
preached said that the Subject
of the resolutions was premature
to be laid before the congress-"
At that time the cooler heads
still hoped to compose matters
with the mother country without
an actual breach. The strongest
statements of the Colonists' de-
termination not to submit to CO.
ercion or to what they regarded
as the abridgment of their liberties
as subjects of the British crown
were coupled with expressions of
loyalty to the crown itself. Indeed.
among Americans who were far
from being tories there were many
who were proud of their own con
nection with Britain and reluctant
to sever it. George Washington
himself about that period, as
Archibald Henderson reminds us,
"abhorred Independence which
meant that he desired to be a good
Virginian and still remain a good
E~nslishman.
independence Not Then Sought
AS a matter of fact, even Jeffer-
son at this date was not an open
advocate of independence, nor did
Patrick Henry in his ringing reso-
buttons" (as Jefferson called them,
adopted in Virginia after the Lex
ington bloodshed, take so rash a
stand.
The sum of the matter is that
the declaration of independence
which Mecklenburg. N. c., issued
one ear ahead of time and the
revolution which Virginia started a
century ahead of time had each to
wait till the country at large was
ready for the real thing. They
were dramatic gestures, not things
accomplished. Nevertheless, the
Virginia affair cost many lives of
patriots and some OF those who
were not so counted. and tons of
ink have been spilled over the
North Carolina outbreak.

ST. LOUIS WILD
OVER HER HERO
Continued from first page

parently somewhat confused by
the honors accorded him, consid.
crate of the interests of others,
and smilingly vigorously with the
lightness of his load of 25 years,
but to those who knew him best
the airmail fiiers, and the mechan-
les Of Lambert-St. Louis, there
was a slight subtle change.
The youth with whom they
pranhed seemed a little older, that
was it, as expressed in the Ian
guage OF of the grimy mechan-
icians-"he's tired-looking and he
looks a little older.
Hurting out OF the clouds which
restricted vision to the very edge
of the 200-acre flying field, Col
onel Lindbergh was upon his vel
comers before they knew it was he.
He had dropped his convoy of 80
planes at Scott field, Bellville, H.,
% miles from st. Louis, and was
winging it home in lonely majesty
until Love picked him up. The
crowd had expected to see the ace
of the air swoop down, attended
by the ships which had accompan-
led him from Wilbur Wright field,
Dayton, Ohio, in the worlds great
est long-distance air parade.
The 5000 at the field sem up a
wild shout when it was realized
that Slim was home, mingling
with it the roaring of automobile
and airship exhausts and honking
of automobile horns. What they
lacked in numbers they apparently
sought to make up for in enthus-
iasm.
"Slim" scared low over the row
of hangers, banked, swept over
the heads of the cowd and headed
again into the wind. He quarter
ed back, Grabbing" that is, going
forward sidewise, and again turn
ed, looping over the crowd and
slanting his beloved ship into the
wind for a landing on the precise
spot marked off for him by strips
of white cloth laid on the ground.
It was a typical Lindbergh landing
sharp turn and a sideslip-and
light as a feather.
Immediately his plane was sur
rounded by olive-drab-garbed sol
diers. who locked hands in circles
about the Spirit of St. Louis.
The crowd, apparently awed by
the return Of the youth acclaimed
by President Coolidge and the
kings of Belgium and England and
others as the era of outstanding
nero. fell silent. They remained
perfectly still and there was only
he sound of Colonel Lindbergh's
motor as he whirled and TAXED
,ver to the reception committee.
Then there went up a relieved
,heer. Another rent the air when
Lindbergh opened the door of his
plane and slowly crawled out, APP
narently as fresh as a daisy except
for a smudge of grease along
one cheek. There was a continual
ton Of cheering at his every
novement-while he performed
he double function of limbering
and walking up and down be-
ore photographers while he shook
.ands with some of his hackers in
he fight. while he was being
reeted by his mother, and while !
. walked to the automobile in ]

Court Orders S646,829 Account
for War Orders Settled

Bridgeport. June 16 PrSettle-
ment of the brass conversion" con-
trovery between the Remington
Inc, and the United States govern
ment. a question that has been dis
puted since September 1918. has
been made by the court of claims in
favor of the Remington company,
according to the decision Of the
court published yesterday in Wash
ington. The government is ordered
to pay s646.S29.59 to the company,
sum withheld by the government
in the belief it had been over charg-
ed that much by the manufacturers.
In 1914 the Remington company
contracted with the American Brass
company, a concern from which it
had been purchasing most of its
supplies for the fabrication Of car
tridges, to have the brass company
furnish for period of five years,
plaintiffs (The Remington company
entire requirement of a certain metal
composition necessary in the manu-
facture Of cartridges, generally re-
fcrred to as conversion supplies-the
decision stated.
The court explained how, when this
contract was made, the Remington
company had never used more than
a maximum amount of supplies from
! the American Brass company. a
maximum that was exceeded a great
deal when Remington company
started to fill its contracts made
with the use in 1917 for the supply
OF munitions of war.
So abnormal was the demand
upon the brass company for supplies
at the low contract price that 1t oh
iccted to furnishing the material at
the old contract price.
AS result of this objection, an
