MONEY Of I ML COUNTHY INADEQUATE.
It is beginning to dawn on the
financeers among our statesmen at
Washington that the supply o1 !
money is absolutely inadequate.
This country now has accumu
lated wealth aggregating 150 bill
ion dollars, and there has been an
inadequate supply of money for
some time with which to carry on
business of so wealthy a country
;as this.
About seventy years ago a group
nf our greatest statesmen said
that there should be about one
dollar in money for each thirty
dollars in property and following
out that ratio we should have five
billion dollars in circulation with
which to do business with the 150
billions dollars of wealth.
There should be at least fifty
dollars per capita circulation and
if such were the case there would
never be any panics or hard times
in the country with its great re
sources and energetic population
In the thriving republic of France
there is a circulation of forty dol
lars per capita, that is, there is
forty dollars for each man, woman
and child in France and only thirty
five dollars here. This is the
largest per capita circulation in the
w erld, as France is densely popu
lated forty dollars per capita circu
lation is equal to about fifty dollars
i 1 this coufitry. and as a result of
this large circulation France has
never been known to have a panic
i n times of peace, and her people
are more prosperous than any na
tion in Europe. There is a splen
did opening at Washington for
some "statesman" to distinguish
himself by placing our finances on
a scientific and business like basis.
CHILD RESCUED FROM WELL
Woman and Three California Children
Who Kept Their Heads Wei©
Heroes.
Anaheim, Cal.—The three-year-old !
girl who clung to a board In the well j
without fuss, coolly awaiting rescue; |
the mother who leaped unhesitatingly
Into the well, without knowledge of its
depth, to aid her child; the little five- j
year-old girl who ran three-quarters of
a mile for aid; the boy who promptly
rode to the well, worked his wits and
quickly improvised a way for the res
cue of the mother and child—each of
the four are entitled to awards for
heroism.
This was enacted at the Shannon
Kincaid ranch on the Santiago Canyon
road. M. S. Ingram took his family to
the ranch for the afternoon.
Answering the appeals of the chil
dren for a romp on the hillside, Mrs. ;
Ingram after a short visit with her
friend, Mrs. Kincaid, went out with ifca |
little ones. Gathering aronnii an old '
well covered with boards, the children
were busily engaged In playing when
one of them worked loose a timber on
the well. Little Leona Ingram, aged
three years, was standing on one end
of the timber and her weight was suffi
cient to np-end it ipto the well. The
child went down with it.
Mrs. Ingram, some distance away, ;
witnessed the accident, ran to the well
and leaped In after the child. She
landed in the water fourteen feet be
low the surface of the ground and found
the little girl clinging lo the timber,
which had become lodged between the
walls of the well at the top of the
W'ater. The mother put one arm !
around the child and the other arm
around the timber and in this manner
held on until rescued.
LOCKED IN MORGAN OFFICE
Robert Bacon and J. P. Morgan, Jr.,
Pry Way Out of Room
With Knives.
New York.—J. P. Morgan, Jr., and
Robert Paeon, former ambassador to
France, were prisoners for 20 min
utes in the new quarters of J. Pier
pont Morgan, in the Bankers’ Trust
building.
The two went up to inspect the new
quarters, which are on the thirty-first
floor, just before noon. A single door
leads from the main corridor Into the
Morgan private suite, and Mr. Morgan
slammed it without noticing that there
was no knob on the inside.
When an inspection w'as completed
the two men found themselves locked
In. No telephones have as yet been ,
Installed. Mr. Morgan went to work
with his pocket knife to turn the
screws that hold the lock on the door. I
When he had unloosened two of the !
screws he had broken all of the blades.
Then the former ambassador to
France set te work and unloosened
the remaining screws with scarcely 1
less damage to his knife. They took /
off the lock, drew the bolt and were
free.
NO MORE SCHOOL SHOOTING
Lad Must Be Good or Court Will Call
Up Case for Using Re
volver on Clerk.
Wilmington, Del.—James Powell,
thirteen years old, charged with shoot
ing George Fox, clerk of the Summer
Bridge school district, recently, was
arraigned before general sessions
I court for assault, but the case was re
I1 tired. The shooting took place in the
school building, when Fox attempted '
to pject the boy after lie had refused l
to obey the teacher.
Deputy Attorney General Wolcott
j objected to Powell being paroled. He
j said there has been much violence in
| the district and that only one boy had
| been shot and killed as a result of this
lawlessness, lie agreed to have the
j case retired, pending Powell's good
behavior, as Miss Cairn, the school
teacher, had agreed to look after the
boy.
The court warned the boy not to
carry weapons and to obey his parents
| and teacher. Any time he misbehaves
again the court will call up the pres
| ent charge.
SHE'S HANDY WITH “MITTS”
Woman Constable Keeps In Trim by
Daily Bout With Her
Husband.
San Jose, Cal.—Mrs. William F. Cur
! ry, wife of William F. Curry, clerk of
j the justice court of San Jose town
ship, has been sworn in as a deputy
( constable to serve w ithout pay. The
I appointment was made by Constable
j M. F. Marshall.
Interesting stories are told of Mrs.
Curry’s physical prowess, and al
though she has not yet made her first
arrest, it is expected she will give a
good account of herself should she
have occasion. Every morning she
dons the padded mitts with her hus
band and they start the day with a
lively three-round go.
That she has a punch in either fist
was demonstrated recently when she
took a hand in a domestic quarrel in
her neighborhood and administered a
beating to a husband who was abusing
his wife.
Relatives Meet After Many Years.
New York.—Mrs. lithel Plonskey,
aged one hundred and eight, was rec
ognized by her nephew, Moses I.azar
owitz. aged eighty, though they had
separated In Poland forty years ago.
The meeting took place in a Jewish
synagogue, where Moses spied in front
of him an old woman who looked fa
; miliar. He learned her name and rec
ognition followed.
FORTUNE TO SAVE TREES
Wealthy Californians Are Spending
Thousands in Fighting a
New Blight.
Son Francisco.—A considerable for
j tune is being spent by wealthy Cali
fornians in an effort to saj;e groves
on beautiful estates near this city
from a blight that has recently at
tacked most of the trees. Tree sur
gpons are gathering here from vari
ous parts of the country and arc
working hard under offers of large
rewards if they can stop the destruc
tion. Should they fail, It is probable
that foresters will be brought from
Europe.
The blight is in the form of a fun
pv.a known as the volsarla bacteria
After it lias taken bold on a tree thou
sands of worms develore. They an
murh like the carpenter borer. Thesf
pierce the bark through and through
and sometimes make large holes
Their ravages were not detected unti
many of the fine shade trees wilter
this season and were threatened with
quick death. Tree authorities of Stan
ford university were called In and i
found that the blight extended among
the estates in beautiful Menlo park
They also discovered that the disease
was spreading rapid'}- to the north.
The Stanford scientists could not
! tell the source of the blight, and then
the surgeons from the east were call
ed in. among them C,. H. Bishop, who
was trained at the Yale School of
Forestry. The only thing that ha=
served to help the frees has been t<
remove tile fungus when found, and
plug the holes made by the borer:
with cement. In some instances as
high as $500 has been spent to save a
single tree, and the total expense will
run high into the thousands.
One theory is that the germ of the
fungus has been brought in from
Asia. Trom which many trees have
been imported to beautify the grounds 1
of wealthy men. It is probable that
investigators will be sent to Japan
and China in an effort to trace the dis
ease.
Pine forests throughout the north- 1
west Pacific coast are also being de
vastated. A species of beetle lays its
eggs in the bark of the tree. From
them come grubs that grow inside the
bark and feed on the tree until they
ere developed, when they bore out and l
become beetles which fly away to de- 1
sirey other trees. Hundreds of in
fected pines have been cut down and
state and government authorities are
co-operating v. ith lumbermen in an ef
fort to wipe out the pest. p.

New York.—Isidor Steinrutzer, an
;ast side youth of diminutive stature,
s under arrest charged by the fire
marshal with being the head of a
widely ramified "firebug syndicate"
and of having started more than 300
fires in this city in the last five years.
Isfdor, when cornered by the marshal
on a fire escape in 118th street, was
smoking a cigarette and watching the
panic and distress caused by a tene
ment house fire, in which the lives
and property of eighty persons were
in danger. He is charged with having
started this fire in conspiracy with
Samuel Gold, in whose fiat the fire oc
curred, and who is also under arrest.
The firebug syndicate is said to be
composed of a number of east side
fire insurance brokers and adjusters,
a few underworld characters and a
swarm of "runners,” whose vocation Is
to approach east side tenement dwell
ers who are poor and easily tempted
into dishonesty, and whom the “run
ners" persuade to join in a swindle,
of the fire insurance companies b>
overinsuring their few pieces of furni
ture and allowing the “operatives” of
the syndicate to set the furniture
afire.
The average price charged for start
ing a fire is about $35. According to
the fire commissioner, 25 p»er cent of
the tires in New York city are of the
incendiary origin.

friendly manner and wagged his tail.
"That dog's not mad,” Flora said,
