Today ff ho Is the Richest. Wise Chief Sumkin. Turkey Is Back. Two Meals, After Fifty. By ARTHUR BRISBANE On his 84th birthday, news papers called John D. Rockefeller “second richest man in the United States.” When he appointed Mr. Mellon secretary of the treasury, President Harding believed he was selecting the second richest man in the world to take charge of the national money. Now if news papers are correct, Mellon goes to third place, Rockefeller has second place, and Henry Ford takes first place. It’s all uncertain. Wealth in the ground might make Rocke feller 10 times as rich as Ford. And ideas in the back of Ford’s head might be werth 10 times the oil of Rockefeller. Mellon, who is said to “know more about more kinds of business than any other man living,” may possess, in his control of the aluminum business and some other things, wealth enough to buy Rockefeller and Ford. The main thing is that all three men are engaged in developing the earth’s resources. Ownership is unimportant. For these men don’t squander their money. They reinvest In productive work and, as a matter of fact, the people really own it. President Harding heard from Chief Sumkin something that might be referred to many: “I do not believe that my race is better than others. I believe that all races in this world are just as good as one another." Chief Sumkin, of the Umatilla tribe, 87, atood before the presi dent as straight as a rifle barrel, talking in the sign language, with another Indian translating. Fred Remington should have been there to make a picture of it. Only yesterday the allies sol emnly expelled Turkey from Eu rope. They, the allies, were to hold Constantinople. The eastern door to the Mediterranean was to be in the hands of the unspeakable Turk no longer. Then the unspeakable Turk turned around, whipped Greece, France and England. And now, according to news from Lausanne, the Turk is officially back in Eu rope, rejoins the European powers, gets everything that Ismet Pasha ' asks for. It pays to fight if you want to hold your «Wrf*4tt Europe. Men past 50 should meditate upon the seven words following: "Two meals a day keep doctor! away." Normal appetities after 60, the body needs less. But at 50 men have formed the habit of eating a certain amount. They continue and shorten their life. A very light breakfast, an ex- . tremely light luncheon without meat and a moderate dinner at night, with the whole night for di gestion, will add 10 years to any life. This isn’t guesswork. Thou sands of cases prove it by their long lives, and hundreds of mil lions of cases prove it by their too short lives. The only plan for those that eat heartily at break fast is no luncheon. German money ought to be a bargain soon. It found a new low spot Monday—266,666 for $1. Before the war that number of marks would have cost $63,466.60. War doesn’t pay, especially - when you are beaten. Constant migration of negroes from the south to the north is a menace to southern industry and to southern agriculture. It may also prove to be an important fac tor in the 1924 campaign, as in others. In the north those colored men will all vote, and 90 per cent at least, will vote the republican ticket. Twenty-five thousand col ored voters, or fewer, located in the right spot, might decide a close national election. Texas Farmer Held on Charge of Killing Neighbor Woman El Paso, Tex.. July 10—T. W.

Howell returned yes terday from a trip to Alaska as a member of a party composed of six senators and 28 congressmen to In vestigate economic conditions and particularly the operation ot the gov ernment-owned railroad between Sew ard and Fairbanks, Alaska. The party was headed by Senator Warren of Wyoming, chairman of the appropriations committee of the senate. The delegation sailed from Seattle, Wash., to its Alaskan port on the army transport Camdrla. The trip oc cupied four weeks. Harding Is Popular. The railroad, which is 447 miles .ong and with about 540 miles of track, including branches, has cost the gov ernment about $57,000,000. Last year the operating expenses, according to Mr. Howell, were $2,000,000 and the revenue was $700,000. Mr. Howell reported that sentiment along the route seemed to be unani mous to the effect that President Harding Is certain of renomlnatlon, but that the democratic nomination Is an uncertainty. The senator commended the presi dent's recent pronouncement concern ing enforcement of the eighteenth amendment. He said he does not be lieve that prohibition will be an Issue in the coming campaign. 24 Hours Daylight. When the party left Fairbanks, Alaska, which Is south of the Arctic circle, at 1:30 In the morning, the sun was still shining. At this season of the year the town has virtually 24 hours of daylight. A baseball game is always played on June 21, begin ning at 11 p. m. Coins less than a quarter do not circulate In the town. It is a cus tom which survives the gold rush days. Natives of the place pay a quarter for a newspaper, a quarter for a cigar, a quarter for nearly everything which sells for a nickel or a dime In the United States. Hay sells for $60 a ton. Population of the town is about 1,000. At Juneau, the capital of the Alaska territory. Mr. Howetl attended a re ception at the executive mansion of Governor Bone. This is the same house at which President Harding will stay during his stop In Juneau. Juneau has an average of 80 Inches of rain every year. The people of Alaska, according to Mr. Howell, are asking that the con trol of the natural resources, Includ ing fisheries and mineral deposits, be turned over to the territorial legis lature, consisting of eight senators and 16 representatives. The fisheries are the greatest single resource. Last year's salmon catch brought $31,000,000. Alaska has a population of 28.000 white persons in an area about one fifth as large as the United States. There are three times as many men aa women. Twenty million acres of the terri tory are covered with timber. Motion for Acquittal in Morse Case Overruled Washington, July 10.—The esse of Charles W.

Chicago, July 10.—"Oh, God help me. They got me dead." With these word* on her lips, Mrs. Subfile Nitti Crudelle, convicted murderess of her first husband, Frank Nitti, fainted today when an interpreter told her a jury had condemned her, to death on the gallows. Until noon no one had told the woman she was to die for her part In the killing of Nitti. Then her attor ney accompanied by an Interpreter, went to the jail and found her scrub bing floors. "Do you understand what the jury —those 12 men—decided yesterday?” she was asked. '■No.'’ "Well, those men were your judges. They decided you were guilty—that you and Crudelle killed your former husband.” "But they’re going to make s new trial, eh?” "If the motion for a new trial Is overruled, you must hang.by the neck until dead.” For a moment the woman gazed blankly apparently uncomprehending. Then as the full Import of the words sank into her brain, her eye* widened with horror and fear and she screamed: "Ood help me. They got me dead.” Then she fell in a faint back of the screen. She was removed to the Jail hospital. Miners Refuse to Enter Agreement to Continue Work Atlantic City, N. J., July 10.—The anthracite mine workers of Pennsyl vania Monday refused to enter into an Immediate understanding with the coal operators that the production of coal shall continue uninterruptedly after August SI. in ths event that a new contract shall not have been negotiated by that time with the understanding that the agreement subsequently arrived at shall be retro active to September 1.

A. S. Franklin Declares. By AHoelabd Fnaa. New York, July 10. — If England could see Its way clear to approve a 12-mlie limit, within which American government craft could search alien vessela suspected of rum running, the troublesome question of foreign liners bringing liquor stores to this country would be cleared up. In the opinion of P. A. 8. Franklin, president of the International Mercantile Marine. Returning from Europe today he branded as a farce the present sltfla tion In which the American authori ties are confiscating all but medicinal liquor brought into port by foreign liners. / “We are In the same position as the government Itself,” he declared. "The traffic in liquor Is going on In the United States today much the same as before the Volstead act and the government Is getting no revenue from it. Eastbound passengers on dry boats are bringing their own. with the result that the steamships are carrying as much liquor as they would If they attempted to handle It over the bar, and yet are getting no revenue from thRt source whatever.” What Ambassador Jusserand term ed ”a transitory Irritant” in spiking of the situation between France and Great Britain, Mr. Franklin said, seemed to summarize the feeling In England over America's seizure of rum. Declaring that the shipping situa tion still was unfortunate and would remain so until the Ruhr "complex” was straightened out, "Mr. Franklin announced that the White Star liner Homeric would he turned Into an oil burner next fall, and that he hoped the service contemplated by I. M. M. between New York and San Francisco next autumn w-ould prove a greater producer of revenue than the North Atlantic service at present.
