TALE OF INDIA'S HIDDEN GOLD
Prcclons Metal Drawn Into ihe Em
pire, lint Little of It
-'- - 'CowesOut.
From time immemorial India has ab
sorbed gold, as a sponge absorbs water.
Tho flow of gold to India has always
continued. In the -last twelve years It
"h'aa received 1680,000,000 In gold, partly In
sovereigns and partly In bullion, In addi
tion to enormous quantities of silver. It
all gqea Into, tlie country, but very little
ever comes out ' Lord Rothschild declared
some years ago that ho had noticed that
none of tho smooth gold bars sent to
India from this country ever came back.
What happens to "this great stream of
precious metal, which continuously dis
appears lllco those rivers In desert lands
which lose themselves underground?
The testimony of. r experts la most con
flicting. Somo say It Is hoarded, while a
few are ready to prove by a formidable
array of statistics that It cannot be ex
tensively, hoarded. Those who believe that
India possesses a vast atpre of hoarded
treasure make the wildest guesses at Its
probable total. The most popular estimate
of tho hoarded wealth of India puts, the
total at Jl.SOO.OOO.OOOr which would amount
to 25 per head of the population, but
some credible estimates are far higher.
The experts quarrel, again, about tho
probable effect of 'India's absorbtlon of
gold upon the world's money markets and
the prlcerof commodities. Some say that
all gold-using countries benefit thereby,
while others, such as Sir Edward Holden,
appear to hold that" "the drain of gold to
India" is a potential menace.
' Whether gold Is hoarded In India or
not Is really a question of terms. All
nations hoard gold upon occasion. If the
nation were threatened with a great war
tomorrow wo may depend upon It there
would bo a rush for gold on the part of
those people who possessed both fore
sight and a balance at the bank. It Is
estimated that during the Balkan crisis
the people of central Europe obtained and
hoarded 2300,000,000 In gold. India, has been
subjected to repeated Invasions, and In
numerable Internal wars, and Its people
have never completely lost their hered
itary sense of Insecurity, Banking' facili
ties are still sparse, and It would be sur
prising if Indians did not hoard.
Bqt hoarding does not necessarily mean
burying It In the ground or concealment
In the roofs of houses, though these prac
tices are doubtless extensive.' A very
large proportion of the hoarded wealth of
India Is, however. In the form of gold
and silver ornaments. It Is Into tiiese
ornaments that the bulk of the bullion
and sovereigns, as well as much of the
silver, disappears.
One often sees In the bazaar of a pros
perous P"un.'sh town little bovs naked savo
for one. Insufficient garment, but, .glitter
ing' wllh! silver ornaments. Tile' girls are
far more lavishly laden. The frequency
of child murders In India Is almost en
tirely due to motives of robbery. With
the growth of prosperity gold ornaments
are largely replacing silver ones, espec
ially among adults. At the Amritsur fair
well-to-dn agriculturist, who formerly
wore necklaces of rupees, are now seen
with strings' of sovereigns around their
necks.
It Is the women, however, upon whom
gold ornaments are chiefly lavished, and
the cause ts partly found In the Hindu
law of Inheritance. A Hindu cannot
alienate any portion of his property,
either bv will or by gift, to his wife or
anv of the female members of his family

OMAHA. May 13. 1914.
Willi the crop prospects Improving from,
day to day, instead of deteriorating, the
lot of the wheat bulls may be docldrd
anything but satisfactory. There re
many In the trado who have been carry
ing Julv and Sentsniber wheat for weoks
and weeks In tho belief that crop condi
tions would show a change and tnat ine
change "would be for the worse.
The manner1 In which the southwestern
farmer has. been .lotting go of hU wheat
la a reflection of tho actual conditions
In the winter wheat bolt more than any
crop expert might say on the subject.
The farmers arts well posted as to the
promlso and thev Co not propose to hold
their wheat until tho entire country as
one man makes up his mind to dispose
of at least a portion 6f the surplus wheat
harvested.
Word comes from our own spring1
wheat country that owing to tho fact that
the ground was In excellent shape for
receiving the wheat tho growth will bo
started early and under most favorable
conditions. There has been some talk
of tho cutting down of the acreag of th!
three spring wheat states, but advices re
ceived yesterday say the area will be ai
large as that of last year, and that tho
amount seeded to wheat In Montana will
bo more liberal than any year since that
state was placed along with the Dakotas
and Minnesota ns a grower of spring
-wheat- and now known as the fourth
spring wheat stato. ,
Importing countries are buying old
wheat sparingly. This fact Is claimed by
every exporter In Chicago, as well as at
tho seaboard and In Canada, too.
Tho transactions reported hore yester
day Included 48,000 bushels Cnnadlan
Wheat sold to go abroad and 25,00) bushels
old wheat In this market to Interior
millers. ,
May corn was the only future to hold
its own and It closed at tho highest point
of the day and showed a small gain. The
same interests fcnat havo been buying for
somo days wero buyers again yesterday,
and some in the trade advunced the opin
ion that their requirements must bo
nearly filled.
As In oorn, May oats were firm and a
little higher, while July and September
were fractionally lower. In sections of
Illinois where they huvo been complain
ing of too dry weather there were good
rains over Friday night and tho situation
became weaker in consequence. Cash
vnliiM wern cenerallv hleher In -all tho
markets. The ownership of pork of the
July kind seems to bo concentrated, bov
eral thousand barrels of that future were
bought by James Fort, tho .well known
broker, who was supposed to have been
acting or tho Swift concern. There were
also good purchases of ribs and laid, and
this buying was credited to local packers.
Scattered longs sold all the commodi
ties. Tho market closed steady and
prices were higher all around. Tho gen
eral cash demand for salted meats and
lard was unsatisfactory to packers and,
according to W. L. Gregson, the provision
specialist, tho list appears as If that was
In need of a revision downward, .espe
cially In retail values, in order to make
the situation more pliable. .

CATTLE Notwithstanding the fact
that supplies were, of very moderate tiro.
portion, the market for beet iitoers was
very dull from start to finish. All classes'
of buyers wero Indifferent and reported.
ine eastern ocei maraet uaaiy uumoroi-
isea, so inai wun tneir coolers run or
uec, iney were in no nurry 10 taKe on
even the limited supplies that were of
fered, Some of the best handy-weight
steers sold about as welt 'as Tuesday, but
the .heavy cattlo were very slow salo
from the start and the fair to good kinds
Kenerally sold a, dime lower, and were
hard to movo at that. It was a dull and
unsatisfactory market from start to fin
ish, with more cattle selling 10a lower
than any other way, and It took about
all the. forenoon to clean up the limited
oiienngs.
The market for cows and heifers was
quotably about' steady. SuuDllea were
very limited, and with tho broad demand,
it did not taKo dealers long to' get dawn
to business and clean ud the moderate
offerings at full recent quotations. Veil
caives continue in light supply, active
demand and strong, and there wad a
broud outlet and very satisfactory mar
ket for bulls, stags and rougn stock
generally.
Business In stockers and .feeders was
actively auleL Fresh sunolles wero
limited and the country demand not very
extensive, vara traders wero good buy
ers of desirable offerings, however, and
anything at all desirable found a ready
sale at fully steady figures.

very fair supply for a Wednesday and
prices on lambs rose anywhere from lOo

few scattering loads of clipped ewes, were
no better than steady, though active on
that basis. Th.- most Improvement in

At times, and as a rule were the last to
clear The undertone to the general mar
ket was health, as was evidenced by
tho fact that seders had little difficulty
In getting tho advance. It might be men
tioned that the Inquiry for anything In
the line of mutton continues llRht and
tho current receipts seem .largo enough
to meet trade requirements.
A three-car shipment of Mexican lambs
fed In Nebraska and tho same as those
at $V75 yesterday, sold nt $8.90 today,
another new high mark for the season to
dato and the highest point touched since
April of last year. Clipped grades also
made a fresh top for the season, the
prlco being $7.85. which was paid for some
lambs similar to a shipment that brought
$7.00 on Tuesday, The clipped lambs sold
mostly nt $7,35U7.75 and on' down to $7.00,
the weight being an Important factor In
fixing the price.

MINE DISASTER AND DAMAGES
Weaj Vlrn-tnln's Compensation I.nvr
and It" nenrlnn; on Bccles
Calamity.
The frightful catastrophe which killed
perhaps 170 peoplo In mine No. 5 of the
New River Collieries company at Kccles
will havo far-reaching effect upon the
workmen's compensation law of West Vir
ginia which went Into effect last Ooto
ber. This law was modelled upon tho
original Ohio law and created . a. Prac
tical monopoly for an assessment fund to
be administered by the sUte tnrough a
so-called Public Service commission
It was impossible last night to discover
whether the ownsrs of the Ecelcs mine
had Insured their liability under the law
In tho state fund. If they did the fund
wilt' be bankrupt for some time to come
npd it Is a question whether or not tha
dependents of those killed will ever -get
their mopey.
Tho West Virginia schemo allows the
employer to der;ld? whether or not he
will Insure with the state. If ha does
Insure an employe who decides to sue will
lie confronted with the common law de
fenses -,of contributory negligence, act of
follow servant and assumption .of risk,
If he does not Insure he has practically
no defense against 4 suit brought by the
Injured employe or hli dependents.
The scalo of compensation provided
reasonable enough from an employer's
standpoint, but casualty Insurance men
last night estimated that either the? state
or .tne mining company owes 10 tne oe
reaved by the accident at least $500,000.
Compensation for death Is divided as 101
lows:
Reasonable funeral expenses, not to ex
ceca no in eacn.'cs, io me wiaow or
invalid widower, $20 a month, .and $5
month additional for each child! under
the age of legal employment, the total
(Tot to exceed $35. a month. It was esti
mated that a widow aged 23 with three,
'children could reasonably be expected to
receive a total' of $12,000 under this law.
tTo other persons wholly dependent If
there Is no widow, invalid widower or
gilld under the age of legal employment,
igjlaw provides that 60 , per fCrnf 5( tjie
average mommy support, receiyea. irom
the deceased during the preceding year
shall be paid to an extent not exceeding
$20 a month for six years
If the deceased was a single' minor, a
dependent parent Is entitled to receive
CO per cent of the earnings not to exceed
$3 -a week until the time the deceased
would have become 21 years of age.
If only partial dependents survive, they,
are to receive 60 per cent of the average
monthly support for six years.
Payments to a widow or Invalid widower
oease on remarriage and to children on
reaching tho legal age ot employment, 14
years.
The news from this latest mine disas
ter Is to the effect that those who es
caped were uninjured, so that there will
be little liability for disability which is
based upon 60 per cent of the average
weekly wges. New York -Commercial.

commission, after a stirring conference
today with Attorney General McRey
nolds. Following adjournment of the hearing
early In tho day until next Monday, Mr
oik and Interstate Commerce Commls-
loner McChord went to the attorney
general's office, where Senator Kern of
Indiana and Senator Norris of Nebraska
had preceded them. Within a few min
utes Mr, McChord and Mr. Folk left th
conference showing evidences of excite
ment. Asked 'Why he had left Counsel
Folk replied: "The conduct of Mr. Mc
Reynolds Was such that we did not care
to remain."
Norris Mpraks for Folk.
Mr. Folk was asked why he left the
conference nt Mr. Mc'Iteynold's office.
When he hesitated about replying, Sena
tor Norris said:
"Well, 1 will tell you. He and Com
missioner McChord leftbecauso they prac
tically were asked to do so by th
torney genernl.'"--
Mr. Folk smiled and remarked:
"As the senator ha, told you that. I
will say that the conduct of Mr. Mo
Reynolds was such that we did not cars
to reipaln."
At the present time It Is tho Intention
to proceed tomorrow with the examina
tion of Mr. Melleni That Is the judgment
ot the commission and that la expected
to bo the procedure.
At the outset ot the conference which
was called to, consider the advisability
of conliuujnir, tho Inquiry, the attorney
itenerat declarod the whole matter was
within control of the commission. Ref
erence was made to suggestions, that had
been mado that the examination of Mr.
Mellon and directors of the New Haven
might give them Immunity from prose
cution as tho result ot an Investigation
being carried on, by the Department ot
Justice.
McReynoloit Stnnda 11 r Letter.
Mt4, M-cReynolds then read a letter sent
to the Interstate. Commerce commission
yesterday, In which ho suggested that the
commission consider carefully the effect
ot tho examination of Mr, Mellen and
others on any criminal prosacutlon which
the government might desire hereafter o
Institute. He then said his letter ex
pressed fully and clearly the position In
the matter he always had maintained,
that the question' was within the control
ot the- commission and that he was' con
tent that It should determine and pursue
whatever course Jt thought best would
subserve the public Interest.
After the conference Senator Norris,
author ot the resolution which Instituted
tho New Haven Inquiry, went to Mr
Folk's office. At the conclusion ot this
meeting Mr., Folk . eald,
"Wp are going right ahead with this In
vestigation and Mr. Mellen and directors
pi(thfl,,New, -Haven wlll.be put on tho
s .'tufj-we are 'going to bring out tha
truth tha whole truth no matter whom
It hits or. whom It hurts,"
Senator Norris said: "In my judgment
nothing has developed that should change
the commission's program. I see no rea
son why it should not push tho case .d
the finish and put Mr. Mellen and tin
others pn tho stand. It is a matter of
justice io the people, that every fact In
connection with the rotten operations that
went on tor years should bo, brought
out."
