of tho right of the United States to
exempt Its vessels from tolls, and of the
sovereignty of the United States over the
canal tone.
During the discussion today there were
flashes of heat In the debate. Repre
sentative Underwood, the dcmocrat'.o
leader, although voting for the senate
amendment, said that congress had made
this "un-American surrender," and called

question of tho rights of this country to
be determined In the future.
Representative Glass of Virginia at

"outrageous assaults mado on the presi

MYSTERY OF RETURNED COIN
Children of Minneapolis Slut Who
Found 9000 In 1801 Pay
Uncle Sam.
A story of years of struggling and pri
vation by the children of a Minneapolis
man to carry out a father's dying re
quest to free the family conscience, and
the partial solution of the mystery of
the disappearance of a packet of money
on Nicollet avenue, Minneapolis, twenty-three
years ago, came to light last
week when Mrs. E. A. Colllton. 124 East
La'rfe street, received through the police
and other agents, 4900 In bills, the amount
that disappeared from her handbag on
January 17, 1S91.
The clearing of the mystery leaves an
other for Mrs. Colllton for the names
of those who struggled to return the
money were kept from her and, though
she wanted to return at least part of tho
money to the family, she was told not
to try to learn more of the case as It
would be Impossible.
Methods used In getting the case be
fore the police 'and In getting the money
back to the owner only served to hide
more securely the Identity of the family
that has been conscience stricken since
the money was taken.
The family was represented by an
agent who kept his own Identity secret.
Mrs. Colllton and the agent arranged
tho exchange of money through an at
torney. The police department, like an
exchange, merely brought the two parties
together.
Just one message reached Mrs. Col
llton from those who returned tho money
and that was:
"We are happier today than we have
been In twenty-three years."
Evidence of the struggle to raise the
fund and comply wwlth the father's dying
wish was made clear by the money.
Nearly half the amount was in 11 bills,
pinched one at a time from the family
Income. Most of the remainder was In
J5 bills and there was no large bills In
the packet.
Investigations necessary to establish
the Identity of Mrs. Colllton and the work
preparatory to returning the money so
that the Identities of the famUy most
concerned could be hidden, took several
days.
Mrs.. Colllton had received the money
as a gift from her father and had placed
It In the Bank of Minneapolis, Nicollet
avenue and Third street. On January IT,
1831, she went to the bank and drew out
poo, intending to Invest that amount
She walked toward Fourth street and
had lees than half a block when she
looked at the handbag she was carrying
and saw that It was open.
The money was gone. The street was
crowded at the time and the bag had
been. Jostled against several pedestrians.
Mrs. Colllton believed she had been
robbed, but a man and woman who saw
her searching the sidewalk and who
were well known, said that a man, woman
and little glrf hod been behind her when
she dropped the money. The man, she
said, picked It up and the three turned
and walked across Nicollet toward the
present site of the Model Clothing com
pany. The little girl Is one of the children who
struggled to clear the family name and
whu Joined In repaying the money. Min

NEW YORK. June 13. Henry Joseph
Burton, the West Indian negro, who Is
declared to have threatened to blow up
an ocean steamship with dynamite If he
was not paid $10,000, also menaced the
New York, New Haven & Hartford rail
road by threatening to wreck a fast pas
senger train It his demands were not met,
according to statements tonight by de
tectives who have been Investigating the
youthful prisoner's activities.
Arrested under the name of Henry

sponse to a scheme outlined in a letter
alleged to have been written by him to
the Cunard Steamship company. Burton

rogues' gallery here and It was learned
that as Henry Cress he has twlco been

The threat to wreck a passenger train
on the New Haven road was In the same

was demanded $33,000. and the letters
stated that dynamite would be placed in
coal used by the road If the money was
not paid.
Detectives searching Burton's home to

CHANGING FRONT IN CHICAGO
Buildings bnt Were LnndmnrUn
Giving Wny to Sky
scrapers. Down-town Chicago Is shooting higher
and higher into space. Building opera
tions of unprecedented magnltudo are In
progress. Structures 20 and 30 years old,
buildings that in their time were a credit
to tho city, are being "scrapped." Fire
proof skyscrapers are replacing them, ar
tistic monuments to future generations
of what Chicago did in 1914.
One by one tho buildings that mado the
Garden city of the past are falling nt
the hands of wreckers and skyscrapers
that are tha last word In modern archi
tecture are being remodeled. Some own
ers of high-priced loop property, on which
stand old-timers, would even Increase the
number of new building were it not for
the city ordinance restricting the build
ing height to 200 feet. Some of these are
waiting for the time not far off, they
say when the high limit will be raised.
Architects, business and professional
men agree that In every steel beam, every
rivet and every 'caisson Is told the prog
ress, the growth and prosperity of Chi
cago. Strangers are told that Chicago Is
a metropolis. The first thing to substan
tiate this and to greet visitors In the city
Is the noise of hydraulic riveters through
out the loop.
The Roanoke, an old landmark at the
southeast corner of LaSallo and Madison
streets. Is one of the many buildings that
have been doomed. The Lumber axchanga
building, a 16-story structure, Is to take
Its place. The budding, In its con
struction atd Interior finish, will. It Is
said, embody the latest principles of fire
proof office buildings. Ita cost Is esti
mated at J 1.200,000 and It will be ready
for occupancy May 1, 1915. This Is one of
the structures that would have gone to
20 stories but for the 200-foot restriction.
The old Calumet building, a nine-story
structure that has held Its own for nearly
years at 111-113 South LaSalle street,
Is another that the wreckers are at work
on.
The New Borland Is to be erected on
the lot made vacant and Is to adjoin
the present Borland structure at the cor
ner of LaSalle and Monroe streets. The
new structure was to be 247 feet In height
but the ordinance Interfered. It was the
Intention of the norlands to make this
building correspond with the one next :o
It In architectural beauty and height
North Dearborn street has seen a mod
ern fireproof structure erected during tho
last year In the Brede building. It Is at
107-100 Dearborn street and has Just been
completed. It Is a 13-story structure and
took the place of a four-story one that
was erected soon after the Chicago tire.
Wreckers are expected to start working
soon on the building at the northeast cor
ner of Wabash avenue and Washington
street. A J1.WO.000 15-story building Is to
be erected at thU corner. The permit for
thts building was taken out May 8.
The Chicago opera house is giving way
to the Conway building. One section 1
tho Conway, on Washington street, is al
ready erected, and the rest of the sky
scraper on tho corner of Washington and
Clark street Is expected to be completed
within the next year. This structure will
be II stories In height and will, It Is
a high rate of speed. Some five years ago
Omaha folks had an opportunity to view
a couple of these monfcters nt the Union
depot, tho engines then being on tho way
west for service on tho mountain divi
sions of the Overland route. The Bur
lington has a couple of them In service
on its western lines, and other roads have
similarly adopted them. Down In Kanstr.
on the Santa Fe one of the slhts Is tho
said, be tho third largest building for
office spaco In tho city.
The permit for tho now Morrison hotel
was taken out In 1911. The new home of
the hotel will be 22 stories In height and
will coat close to 2,70O.00O. Tho building
Is to be erected In sections, one of which
Is at present eight stories high. The
foundation for the first section of the
new Kalserhof hotel at JlG-lS-a0 Bouth
Clark street Is rapidly being finished.
Th! section alone will cost about J300,0W.
Tho Marshall Field building at the
southeast corner of Wabash avenue .in-1
Washington street, a 20-story structure
Is receiving its finishing touches. The
Stevens building, to be erected on Stnte
street next to Mnndel's, Is already being
pushed skyward.

"I am 60 years old and nover had a

"With such a healthy body I should live

"You should knock on wood after malt

boarder. "In tho midst of life we nre In

tho people who die young were fond ot
exulting in their health and strength.
Death loves a shining mark, as the hymn
says. Death also has a sense ot humor
and considers It a great prnctlcal Joke
to cut down tho stalwart gent who boast

taken nobody Into his confidence. His
granOeon tells me he has every disease
that has been placed on the market, and
at the present moment has Indigestion,
but he seems to thrive on tho ailments
which kill other people. He spends all
his time In pleasant weather sitting on
the front porch and ho has seen tho funer
als of a hundred younger men go by, and
still he hangs on, as though ho had soma
definite purpose In It. The grandson Is
quite discouraged over tho outlook and
was telling me only this morning that
there ought to ho a" law providing pains
and penalties for people who live beyond
the allotted span.
"The same condition prevails In the
world of lower animals. The beautiful

cold from standing In a draft, and they
disappear from tho map, while tho com

in the veterinary manual, If there was
a disease within fifty miles she was

THIMBLE FIRST GAS BURNER
Accidental Discovery of Method

liy Use of Tip.
It was a well-worn and ncedlo-punc-turcd
thimble used In substitution for a
piece of clay to stop the flow of gns
that gave to the world Its first gas
burner. The thimble suggested the Idea
to William Murdock, whose little cot
tage In Redruth, Cornwall, England,
where he lived In 1782, has become
known as "the cradle of gas' lighting."
His first attempt to make gas was In
an Iron teapot. Later ho distilled coal
In a kettle and led the gas through
pipes.
Prof. Vivian B. Lewes, the eminent
English chemist and authority on mat
ters pertaining to the manufacture and
use of gas, thus describes Murdoch's ac
cidental use of Mrs. Murdock's thimble:
"In the old days at Redruth, when
making gas In his back yard and burn
ing It In his office, to the wonderment
of tho rustics Of the neighborhood, who

childhood to the tallow dip and the oil
lamp Murdock first burned his gas
simply as a flame from the end of tho
gas pipe, and when hn wanted to cut
oft the gns. his method was extremely
simple.
"Taking iv small plug ot clay, Murdock
rammed It Into the end of tho pipe. You
must remember that he had only Just
begun to experiment, and he was not at
all sure what would happen If tho smalt
holder In the bark yard was to ground
and tho pressure of tho weight of the
holder was to be taken off the gas. Mur
dock had some sort of dim fear that
there might bo trouble, and at one of
his oxhlbltlgns he suddenly saw his
flame beginning to grow gradually small,
and he realised that his holder In the
yard was getting low.
"He looked around for his plug of clay
to cut oft the light, but unfortunately
that plug of clay had got knocked on
to tho floor and had rolled under the
tablo. Unable to find the plug, Murdock
hurriedly looked around for something
else, and found his wife's thimble.
Seizing the thimble, Murdock rammed It
over tho end of the pipe a thoughtless
sort of a thing a brutal man would do
but, smelling the gas, Murdock applied
a light and saw that the thimble was In
the condition that every good housewife's
thimble should be. It was full of small
holes drilled by the unsympathetic heads
of darning needles, and the gas escaping
through these small holes Ignited, and
to his astonishment Murdock saw that
those two or three small Jeis ot gas
gave greater Illumination than bofore
had been given from tho great flare out
of the pipe.
"Working on that Idea, Murdock In
troduced tho Cockspur burner. Murdock
thought that three Jets, which to nil
mind rather represented tho Prince of
Wales's feather, and which were called
the Fleur-de-lis burner, would be an Im
provement, and so he welded together
the end of his gas pipe and drilled out
small holes, and got what was known as
the Coxcomb burner, a great Improve
