World Is Bankrupt
for the Lack of Gold,
Says Nevada Senator
Washington. — “The -world stands
bankrupt today for lack of sold.” says
Senator Tasker L. Oddie. of Nevada;
who has written a long letter to Secre
tary Mellon, of the Treasury Depart
ment, taking that official to task for
disapproving the-McFadden bill, which
proposes to stimulate production by a
premium on gold' output.
Secretary Mellon has indicated that
the cure for*the decline in gold is the ]
decreasing scale of commodity and pro
duction costs, to which'Senator Oddie
replies that official statistics show an ■
increase in eammodity prices since last
Juite and that no change in the price]
Jewel has yet taken place to- enable the
profitable resumption of gold mining
on a normal basis,
The Nevada Senator also foresees an
increased preference and demand for
gold coin among the people as against
the nse of paper money, in support of
which he oites ihe effort that is made
through>the banks to discourage the
use of gold for actual circulation.
Industrial gold consumption should^
be curtailed, says Senator Oddie. and a
red^tribution of the American gold
supply brought about, so Europe may
be assisted to regain her purchasing
power. The lack of gold abroad and
the necessity of gotting gold at a high
cost has imdaired buying power, re
duced American exports and is in large
part responsible for business depression
in this oountry, Mr. Oddie says!
“The normal condition of the gold
min ing jjndu9try cannot be restored uo
1 ess the purchasing power of the 1913
dollar is restored,” he asserts. “Based

Trans-Ocean Mail Tor
pedoes Are Foreseen
Paris,—Aerial torpedoed that will
carry urgont letters from London and
Paris to New York within 12 to 15
hours were seen Friday by Louis Bre
gnet, French air pioneer, whose great
expresses make daily trips between
London, Paris and Brussels.
Small, pilotless macbiues, with a i
motor and air screw adapted to func
tion automatically at high altitudes,
will cross the Atlantic in a few hours,
according to Breguet.
These machines would be launched
by special mechanism aod would attain
a speed almost equaliog that of an ar
tillery shell. They would be guided
by directional wireless, he says.

McGuire, Alleged Slay er of
SI Fr. Hoar, Sent to Morningside
Seattle.—James Wallace McGuire,
20-year-old alleged slayer of Father
John Hoar, priest of Point Hope,
has been found guilty at Nome, con
cluding another chapter in one of the
northern Territory’s most vivid melo
dramas.
The Nome eourt ordered the boy to
the Morningside Hospital at Portland
for quiet rest and careful treatment in
the hope that he will recover.
If the doctors are able to restore his
reason he will be returned to Nome for
trial for first degree murder.
The testimony of Territorial authori
ties is that McGuire shot Father Hoar
to shield himself from the priest’s de
nunciation and 'possible expose. The
boy, in his loneliness in the far north
training post at Point Hope, is said to
have taken a native girl as his com
panion. _
