Former miners in the government service are mystified at the presence of the nugget, stating that the closest recognized gold belt is 40 miles away. MINER TELLS HOW HE WON MILLIONS Bucked Biggest Mining Corporations of the United States "Obsecure and broke" one day; a millionaire and nationally known the next. This was the dramatic change Letters Written by Rich Man to B. F. Harrison Read in Court CHICAGO. Feb. 13—Letters written by W. E. D. Stokes to Benjamin P. Harrison, negro, whom he had hired as an investigator in his combing of the Chicago underworld for proof that Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes is alleged to have been a habit of the "redlight" district, and had given birth to a child of mixed blood, were read into the recumbent today at the trial of Stokes and three co-defendants. Harrison identified several letters from the witness stand after he had told how he was hired by the elderly millionaire who now is accused of committing to defame Mrs. Stokes. Stokes, Harrison testified, came to his home in 1608, and asked him if he wanted to make $2000. "I told him I did if it was all right," Harrison testified. Thus began an employment which lasted for some time and eventually led Harrison to Denver, home of Mrs. Stokes' mother. The letters which were put in evidence over repeated objections of the defense contained a multitude of leads which revealed that Stokes was getting a mass of information about underworld women and their associates and that he was trying to link one of them up with his wife. Repeatedly Stokes complained that he was not getting his money's worth—he was sending Harrison checks for small amounts almost every time he wrote—and that dates and pictures obtained by Harrison were not concerning "our Helen" as Stokes referred to the woman he was seeking. "Don't be mysterious, tell me everything," one letter said. Referring to a woman whom he had instructed Harrison to see Stokes wrote: "She has a picture of Mrs. S. Look out she don't off a joke on you and give you the wrong picture. She is in constant contact with Mrs. S." Somewhere Stokes had obtained the name of Al Austin as having married the woman with whom he was trying to identify Mrs. Stokes. Two men of that name, one a cook and the other a saloonkeeper, one of whom died in 1903 and the other in 1916, confused Stokes, and he made repeated pleas that Harrison learn which was the right one. CAPTURE BIG CANADIAN RUM SHIP SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18.—The U. S. coast guard early today captured its second big Canadian rum running ship. Loaded to the limit with liquor from Vancouver, the auxiliary schooner Coal Harbor, operated by Consolidated Mexican Shipping Co., Ltd., of Vancouver, was captured by the coast guard cutter Cahokia within the 12-mile limit. The Coal Harbor was towed in by the Cahokia and early today anchored off Meigla wharf. Customs guards were placed aboard to watch the crew and the big cargo of liquor. The seizure was made according to reports from the Cahokia in the vicinity of Tomales Bay. The Coal Harbor had been under surveillance in "rum" row off the Golden Gate for about three days. Last night the Canadian shop, believing the watch had been relaxed, slipped in to transfer her cargo to a "mosquito" fleet operating from a Tomales Bay base. The Cahoka was on her beels, however, and as soon as the Canadian vessel was definitely within the 12 mile limit the seizure was made. Appraisals went aboard today to estimate the value of the big rum seizure. A check of the cargo aboard the Coal Harbour showed there were 10,000 cases of liquor on board. The captured vessel was in command of Captain Hudson. Capt. S. B. Johnson of the Cahokia, said today his craft had been out since last Thursday patrolling the vicinity of Tomales bay. At 2 o'clock this morning, he ran into the Coal Harbour off Tomales bay. The rum runner loaded to the gunwales with liquor, including a substantial deck load. There were cases of whiskey even in the cabins. Immediately after sighting the former miners in the government service are mystified at the presence of the nugget, stating that the closest recognized gold belt is 40 miles away. MILLIONS Bucked Biggest Mining Corporations of the United States "Obscure and broke" one day; a millionaire and nationally known the next. This was the dramatic change fate dealt out to George Campbell Carson, 58, mining engineer of the old school, who Monday was awarded a $20,000,000 verdict by the U. S. circuit court of appeals of San Francisco against the American Smelting and Refining Co., for alleged infringement of his patents. Carson's invention has revolutionized the furnace treatment or ore. The story of Carson's struggles thru the years, as told by himself today, follows: By GEORGE CAMPBELL CARSON (As told to Miller Holland, International News Service Staff Correspondent.) SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18.—was born in Kenton, Ohio, 58 year ago. At 14, I left home and at 16 was in Arizona working in the copper mines. Watching the laborers feed the huge copper furnaces at top speed impressed me because of the waste of human energy as well as oil money. These furnaces were fed from the top. I thought that perhaps by feeding them from the side would make the work easier for the men, save the lining of the furnaces and economize ore. I carried my idea with me for years. Finally in 1906 the idea of the reverberatory side-charging furnace took definite form in my mind. I was sure I had something worth while. But nobody would let me try out. From smelter to smelter, went, seeking a chance to show how my furnace would work. I was frank and laid every detail open for consideration. Matters drifted along and plodded along, making a living here in San Francisco as a mining metallurgical and chemical engineer. In 1915 I happened to attend meeting of the American Society of Mining Engineers in New York. An abstract was read describing side-charging furnace, for treatment of ore. I was certain that the process described was not own. I investigated the matter and took it up with the vice president of the American Smelting and Refining Co. No I didn't want to mention his name. He is no connection with that company. She has a picture of Mrs. S. Look out she don't put off a joke on you and give you the wrong picture She is in constant contact with Mrs. S. Somewhere Stokes had obtained the name of Al Austin as having married the woman with whom he was trying to identify Mrs. Stokes. Two men of that name, one a cook and the other a saloonkeeper, one of whom died in 1903 and the other in 1916, confused Stokes, and he made repeated pleas that Harrison learn which was the right one. Harrison's mission to Denver, according to instructions in one letter, was to become friendly with old servants of Mrs. Stokes family, and from them try to get information about "our party's former marriage and her intrigues with various men." Harrison, too, was ordered to get in touch with resorts in Denver, and make efforts to prove that "our party" had been an inmate or at least a caller there. The witness frankly admitted that many of his instructions he ignored and did not follow up at all. KING GEORGE IS LITTLE BETTER LONDON, Feb. 18—The general condition of King George led his three physicians to hope today that he would be able to overcome the bronchitis trouble without it developing into anything more serious. His specific illness is bronchitis due to influenza, it was stated. An official bulletin issued at Buckingham palace today said: "The king had a fair night, although there is no change in the bronchitis. The general condition this majesty shows improvement. (Sirned) Stanley Hewitt, Dawson of Penn, Milton Rees." For a time yesterday the king's physicians were concerned about his condition, it was said, and now they are taking every precaution to ward off possible complications which would be pneumonia. The king remained in bed to guard against cold and gnausea. Trained nurses are in its tendance. Only the usual crowds were outside the palace. The official bulletin was written upon the palace gate following the traditional custom when a king is coronally ill. The captured vessel was in command of Captain Hudson. Capt. S. B. Johnson of the Cahokia, said today his craft had been out since last Thursday patrolling the vicinity of Tomales bay. At 2 o'clock this morning, he ran into the Coal Harbour off Tomales bay. The rum runner was loaded to the gunwales with liquor, including a substantial deck load. There were cases of whiskey even in the cabins. Immediately after sighting the runner, the coast guard craft started in pursuit. At 2:30 o'clock the Cahokia was close enough to the Coal Harbour for Captain Johnson of the cutter to shout that the rum runner halt. The command was obeyed and Captain Johnson sent a small boat in charge of Boatswain E. C. Klipste to board the halted craft. However, hardly had Klipste and the men with him got aboard the Coal Harbour when the rum runner put out all her lights and darted full speed ahead with the boarding party on her. The Cahokia followed and within a few minutes Captain Johnson was close enough to the fleeing vessel to throw two lines aboard her and force her to stop. Captain Johnson, without further ado, proceeded to capture the Coal Harbour and placed the crew of 15 under arrest. The capture was made nine miles southeast of the Faralong Islands, just off the Golden Gate. There was no resistance on the part of the Coal Harbour. There was no fighting and not a shot was fired. The coast guard cutter then towed the seized rum runner to this port, where she is anchored at Natchez wharf with a customs guard board. The Coal Harbour cleared from Vancouver Feb. 5. VANCOUVER, B.C., Feb. 18—The Coal Harbour, owned by Consolidated Exporters, Ltd., Vancouver, the largest firm in the U.S. rum trade, left here, ostensibly for La Libertad.

I investigated the matter and took it up with the vice president of the American Smelting and Refining Co. No, I didn't want to mention his name. He is now connected with that company but he is one of the best known metallurgical engineers in the country. This man told me my patent was worthless. However, he said he represent not only his company but also Phelpe-Dodge and Anaconda Peck and that all three concerns are anxious to encourage inventors. And he tried to settle with for $1,000, then $2000 and finally $3000. I refused any such settlement. "If my patent is worthless you say it is." I told this vicious president, "it would be blackmail for me to accept your money, will settle the value of my patent in court." He wanted to know what I going to do. "I'm going to convince you of the value of my process was my answer." And I suppose I have succeeded it has taken years and years I have established my right to substantial compensation what my invention has done. They might appeal to the prime court, but if they do chances are a hundred to against them. What will I do, now that I rich?" That's hard to say. I take as it comes and do not worry about tomorrow until tomorrow comes around.

Mannie Kessler, New York boot-leger, serving a sentence at the prison, testified he had loaned L.J. Fletcher $5000, with which he further plans to enter the ice business in Miami, Fla. Kessler also testified he had given officials at the prison $5000 in return for which he enjoyed certain privileges. This money, he said, went to former Warden Sartain.

CLAIM COAST DEFENSES NO GOOD WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—The charge that all of America's coast defense stations are "absolutely worthless" was made today before the house aircraft investigating committee by Rep. Laguardia, Re-publican of New York. Laguardia was a flyer in the A.E.F. "Every cent that congress appropriated for the army's coast defense stations is money thrown away," said Laguardia. "The stations would be worth than worthless against enemy air attack." La guardia charged "the general staffs of the army and navy with retarding airplane development," and with withholding information of air bombing tests from congress. The committee immediately adopted a resolution ordering Seeyc. of War Weeks to present at once full data on the bombing tests on the battleships New Jersey and Virginia in November, 1921. Because of the startling revelations of America's inadequate air force, developed in the committee's secret session yesterday, Rep. Vestal, Republican of Indiana, announced today he would introduce a joint resolution giving the committee authority to conduct its investigation during adjournment of congress. The secret testimony of high ranking army and navy officers revealed it was learned today, that America's air defense "is absolutely helpless." During the secret session Maj. Gen. John L. Hines, chief of staff, placed the blame for America's lack of air defense upon Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief off his air service. Under a vigorous cross-examation, however, Hines admitted it was learned that the general staff had never asked the army service for air defense plans. defense is the chief prob- HIGHWAY Three Owners of Large Tracts Refuse to Give Rights-of-Way Orange-co., officially dropped all plans for extending the coast highway from Laguna Beach to Serra. Refusal of three owners of large tracts to deed rights-of-way and the threats of one to launch a damage suit in case the road is forced through are the direct causes for this decision. He talked of a suit involving a sum in six figures. After one of the stormiest seas in the recent history of the board of supervisors during which Joe Thurston, one of the owners persistently stood his ground, the board unanimously passed a motion authorizing the clerk to notify the state highway commission to sever its contract with the board in the matter of getting a right-of-way, which has been under negotiation for more than a year. The cancellation will remain in effect, according to the board's motion, offered by Supervisor Finley, until such a time that a right-of-way is assured without legal impediments arising. The board's action apparently threw a bomb shell into the ranks of county good roads advocates and to those who had dreams of early completion of a through highway between San Diego and Long Beach along the county's coastline. Thurston, owner of 362 acres near Aliso creek, also maintains a beach for which occupants are charged the usual fee. Observers admit that he apparently has a "good thing." The tentative route of the coast highway leads close to the beach. Thurston, it was declared, is willing to grant right-of-way through his ranch providing the road is turned inland at the site and routed back from the ocean. State highway engineers, looking to economy in construction, have declared the latter plan to be out of the question. Thurston was before the board late yesterday in an effort to get a decision on the point, but he refused to budge from his original stand. A heated argument with the board resulted, and the matter grew so irksome to Supervisor Finley that he offered his notion to halt all negotiations, temporarily, if not permanently. The motion was passed without a dissenting vote. Previously the board denied a petition of the Yorba tract to have their district transferred to Political observers const Moody's discharge as the wise act of the new board.

He said he comes here with the desire be fair to everyone,and that partiality is going to be shown him,and he feels that his saw before,will feel the same. 60 CARS MACHINERY SHIPPE One of largest single ments ever haudied by the heim freight station of the heim Pacific now is going with the movement to Mont.,of some 60 car machinery and equipment,the former factory of the heim Sugar Co.,owned Holly Sugar Corporation,some 24 carloads have been ped.

Air defense is the chief problem which the committee desires to investigate during the adjournment mont. Laguardia offered three suggestions for developing aviation. They were, briefly: 1. Unifying the air service under an independent department in the government. 2. Providing federal aid for assisting commercial aviation. 3. Developing a flying reserve. "Cut out this controversy between the army and navy by uniting the air service," said Laguardia. Compel the army to furnish information on its up to date coast defense. Make every naval officer receive at least ten years afloat so 3we will have some sailors and navigators. "We have, you know, a navy which can't navigate ships." L.P. Spor, of Sandusky, Ohio, world war flyer, told of experiences on European battle fronts. He said American aviators that nothing of and suffered so serious ill effects from flying over areas guarded by anti-aircraft guns. Even though peppered with shrapnel, Spor declared, the flyers were not hampered in bombing or observation operations. Rep. Stail of Indiana this afternoon offered a resolution in the house to authorize the committee to continue the aircraft investigation after the adjournment of congress in December. To make this possible it is necessary for the house to discharge the committee and create a special committee to make the inquiry. FEAR BLACKHAND CAUSE OF BLAST PITTSBURGH, Pa., Feb. 18.—Incendiary dynamite explosions blasted terror into the center of the wholesale produce district and demolished three buildings here today with a loss of $130,000, according to fire department officials. Firemen are digging into tons of debris following reports that five men might have been trapped, but owners of the buildings are certain no one was caught in the explosions. Police believe the bombings may have been the work of a blackhand gang or by business rivals of the Landellina Brothers Produce Co. whose buildings were destroyed.

Already some 24 carloads have been shipped. The size of the shipment will come as a surprise to many, who are given to understand that only a fraction of the factory's equipment was being taken out. The Holly Corporation has erected or will erect a new beet sugar plant in Montana. WARNING AGAINST FALSE SOLICITORS C.

To make sure that Floyd Collins will not be disturbed in his San Cave tomb 75 foot below the surface, workers today were sealing the ervised with cement. This bill decided upon after H.T. Carmichael, Elk of the rescue crew which drove frantically to reach Collins while he was alive, abandoned plans to set off a huge charge of dynamite in the rescue shaft that would shake all the loose rock and talus together. B.Dyle, owner of the farm on which San Cave is located, objected to this procedure. While Carmichael and engineers were conferring in regard to the last "clean up" work to be done around the scene of the epic struggle to save a human from death, miners, scientists, engineers, surgeons, military men and the scores of others who have assisted in the work, were leaving for their homes in various parts of the country. And the nation was fast forgetting the tragedy in this little mountain village. Meanwhile, Floyd Collins sleeps in the tomb he perhaps would have chosen. There he will sleep forever. Nature which has sneered and mocked at man's puny efforts to bring him forth, is taking further steps to seal his manoeuvre irrelevant to pay, succeeding A. A. Slaback. Mr. Nichols was formerly sheriff of Cattragus-co., N.Y., three years, and nine years deputy sheriff of the same county. THREE LAND JOBS Actions Were Brot After Legislature Increased rate from 5 1-4 to 7 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18. Joint announcement made today by the So. Pac. and Santa Fe Railroad companies that they had decided to abandon their appeal to the U.S. supreme court in the California tax cases pending since 1921 and that taxes and penalties amounting to $10,000,000 will be paid to the state by July 1. Counsel in charge of the case for the So. Pac. and Sanat Pe authorized the following statement: "When the King tax bill suits were brought and at all times since then we have been of the opinion that the effect of the application of the rates prescribed by the present law was to make taxes on railroad property greater in proportion to value than the taxes on ordinary property in the state and to burden interstate commerce. The opinion of Judge Dietrich showed that he agreed with our contention that the power of the state to tax our property is not unlimited, but is controlled by restrictions of the interstate commerce clause of the federal constitution." He also, as his opinion indicates, felt that the king tax bill did impose upon us a burden of taxation in excess of that levied on other properties in the state, but took the view, nevertheless, that the discrimination shown was not sufficiently great to justify the court in granting an injunction against the collection of the tax. As matters stood at the time of the decision we felt it our duty to appeal to the supreme court of the United States, but after further consideration and in view of the finding in effect of Judge Dietrich that the limit of taxation had been reached, we have concluded to abandon the appeal."
