COLLECTOR, Sc,
FINDS INTEREST
IN METEOR|TES
James TrythaII Attributes
His Sound Health to
AVOCati0n.

Times Special
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Dec. 10
James Trythall is Sc, but he feels
and acts much younger. His sound
health and buoyant spirit, he be-
lieves, are due more to indulgence
than abstinence. For Mr. Trythall
is a geological lobbyist whose rare
collection Of stones, metals, shells
and meteorites is one of the most
remarkable - and valuable in
America.
When Mr.. Trytnall was youth
at Cornwall, in his native Eng
land, he collected rocks and shells
for his own enjoyment. When in
1871 he came to America, his zeal
for geological oddities was Whetted
Ever since he steadily has added to
his collection, often travelling far to
obtain choice material, and today
his home is literally buried in a
wealth of specimens.
Defy Classification
Recently Mr. Trythall purchased
what he believed to be 500 tiny
meteorites from a Colorado road
worker. They had been found near
Denver and were known to be of
rare composition. Since their ar
rival however, Mr.. Trythall has
failed to be satisfied that they are
true meteorites, and university pro-
fessors and mineralogists are equal
ly puzzled as to their identity.
Some are satisfied to call them
meteoric stones" Mr.. Trythall
chuckles. Two, however, say they
are pyrites, and others pronounce
them marcasite stones"
Since he, too, is something of an
authority on such matters, posses
sing specimens of these rarities, Mr.
Trythall is willing to await a de-
cision and thinks some one even
tually will reach a correct CLASH
flcation.
Meteorites at present hold the
veteran collectors interest and his
knowledge of them is revealing.
Source Is Unknown
"A meteor is luminous body fly
ing in the air." he explains, while
a meteorite is a metallic or stony
body that has fallen to earth. Me-
teorites come from outer space with
out an invitation. They do not
differ ins composition from sub
stances which comprise the earth's
crust. Some think they come from
the moon; others from a burned-out
comet, and still others from a shat
tered planet, but no proof is avail
able to give satisfaction.
scientists tell US he adds, that
most meteorites that fall to earth
are no larger than pebbles. The

WAYNE TRUSTEE
REVIEWS CLASH
With DOCTORS
Offers Additional Reasons
Why He Has Rejected
$4,000 Contract.

Times Special
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Dec. 49,
Defending his rejection of the offer
Elmer j. Fox, Wayne Township
trustee, today branded as grossly
misleading" the contention of The
Fort Wayne Medical Society that it
can save the township $4,000 in
providing medical care for it's indi-
gent.
The medical society recently &C
cepted a proposal Of its economics
committee to offer a contract under
which it would furnish the neces-
sary medical aid at fiat charge Of
$4,000 for the year
Mr. Fox, after refusing the offer,
S d he had done so because various
members OF the society had
threatened to cancel their member
ships if it were accepted.
Further Reasons Are Given
In his latest statement, the town
ship official cites further reasons.
He claims that the recent discharge
OF seven township physicians will re-
duce the medical bill in 1895, that
other trustees who have entered
such contracts found them expen-
sive, and that so far as he can learn
the offer has been drawn up by only
two society members and does not
represent the organization as a
whole.
Statements by members of the
society that the township would save
$4,000 a year under their plan are
grossly misleading" Mr.. Fox as
serted
They point to the $4,000 spent
by the township last year as a basis
for their claim, and do not take
into consideration the fact that I
released seven township physicians
several weeks ago when the WPA
began to lessen the township relief
load. Medical care will not cost
the township anywhere near $13,-
600 next year." he declared.
Points to Medical Costs
II have received letters from a
number of other township trustees
in Indiana and other states who
have tried plans similar to the one
proposed by the medical society,"" he
said, and in all cases they claim
. the expense was increased greatly"
He added that in one city with a
society of LOT members, only six
would cooperate with the township,
while the remainder took no in
terest. The same condition might
arise here, he said.
II am convinced that the society
can't do the work as economically
as the township physicians" he
concluded. For one thing, more
patients would be sent to hospitals,
with increased expense to the town
ship. For another, prescriptions
would cost more than under the
present set-up whereby all medicine
is purchased Wholesale

to be courteous and obliging, with
desire to be especially helpful to

The speaker told his interested
auditors of the gorgeous pageant
produced for the Lions clubs at the
ancient pyramids, the Ceremonial
of the Sun, participated in by 5000
Indian performers, and patterned
after the ancient rites of the sun
worshipers. The spectacle, he de-
clared, was indescribably magnifi-
cent. The party also witnessed sew
eral thrilling bull fights.
Mrs. Small accompanied Small on
the trip, and was similarly interest
ed in Mexico and found the excur-
sion enjoyable. Small deplored the
still primitive life of the lowly
class of MeXicans, and the exceed
ingly low wage scale. He said in
conclusion. There is not the vol
ume of business there in Mexico
to which Americans are accuStom-
ed. In that country life is an ex-
ceedingly easy going proposition. II
the Mexican has mere food and
shelter, he is content. For him life
is very easy"

made by the government to edu-
cate the people. Everywhere, he
stated, more school buildings are
being erected. Thousands of such
buildings have been built in the
last five years, since, in 1890, a
census disclosed that more than
so per cent of the population in
Mexico is illiterate, Now, in order
to educate the people and utilize
educational facilities to the fullest,
most schools have two sets Of teach

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-How-
ard c. Hopson, financial genius of
the Associated Gas & Electric Sys-

jealous contest over rights of the
two houses of congress.

in the struggle Of house and senate

over Hopson reached a new high
when Joseph w. Byrns, lanky and
courteous speaker Of the house. is

house members that the senate has
adopted a superior attitude not IN
keeping with the constitutional
provision that house and senate
are equal
House Keeps Held
Both house and senate were ex-

their positions in the struggle.

Passage Of the $l3,95O.00O bond is
sue in the special election Tuesday
would have provided $3,500,000 for
construction of a new prison in
Southern California. Failure Of
the bond propose! forced the state
to adopt other methods of relieving
the pressure.
Il was keenly disappointed be-
cause of the failure of the bond
proposal Kelly said. Il believe a
new prison would be a much more
effective method Of breaking the
congestion, but my department now
is under considerable pressure to

must be done. Crowded conditions

DOWD TALKS
To R0TARIANS

Declaring that the desilting plant
proposed in connection with the
All-American canal. is a highly eS-
sential part OF the entire project,
NJ. J. Dowd chief engineer of the
Imperial Irrigation district. gave an
all-too-brief description of the
Boulder dam and All-Ameriean
canal work at today's meeting OF
the El Centro Rotary club.
Dowd stated that contrary to the
opinion held by some, the silt prob
lem is by no means eliminated with
construction of Boulder dam and
creation Of the reservoir behind it.
HeeYy silt is still brought down the
river between the dam and the
headeates of the district canal. and
this will continue even after Parker
dam and Imperial dam are COM
pleted.
1t is true that percentage of
silt is much less now than before
Boulder dam was completed" Dowd
said, but the silt problem has not
been eliminated by construction of
the dam and on the contrary. eX-
naustlVe tests have shown that the
desilting plant is very necessary.
To pass up construction of the de-
sitting plant now, as has been sug-
geSted by some. would mean greater
cost in constructing it later on, and
the reclamation service has en-
phatically stated that only by con-
struction of the plant can the real
silt problem that costs the district
and the rancherS so much annually,
be eliminated

ial dam construction. told so that it

tanned had to be secured by eX-

for which was let this week to the

that other equipment contracts for
