GLENN RIDDELL SALE TO
BE FOUGHT IN COURTS
l —
- LIVERPOOL, Aug. 1.—The Liverpool
Atheneum has received notification that
the legality of its recent sale of the so-
called Glenn Riddell manuscripts of the
poet Burns will be taken to the courts.
The London dealers who bought the
manuscripts supposedly for an Ameri
can, at a price supposedly to have been
$25,000, have been warned not to part
with them for the present.
.. The action in the courts will be based
. upon the contention that the manu
scripts, which were -pfesented to the
Athenaeum over a century ago by Dr.
Currie, a Burns critic, had only been
loaned to him and that they really be
long to the nearest heir of the poet, who
is Miss Annie Burns.
Even if Dr. Currie’s ownership was
established it may also be contended
the Athenaeum, which received them
from his widow, is an unconditional
gift virtually convenanted to keep them
permanently and had no authority to
dispose of them as it did.

“Before marriage my wife observed
In summer and country homes, coming
In touch with families of varied means,
culture, tastes and discriminating ten
dencies, that the families using Pos-
tum seemed to average better than
those using coffee.
“When we were married two years
ago, Postum was among our first or
der of groceries. We also put in some
tea and coffee for guests, but after
both had stood around the pantry
about a year untouched, they were
thrown away, and Postum used only.
“Up to the age of 28 I had been ac
customed to drink coffee as a routine
h&bit and suffered constantly from
Indigestion and all its relative disor
ders. Since us,ing Postum all the old
complaints have completely left me
and I sometimes wonder if I ever
had them.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle

Road to Wellville.”
Postum comes in. two forms.
Regular (must be boiled).
Instant Postum doesn't require boil
ing but is prepared instantly by stir
ring a level teaspoonful* in an ordinary
eup of hot water, which makes it right
for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some
people who like strong things put in a
heaping spoonful and temper it with a
supply of cream.
- Experiment until you know the
amount that pleases your palate and
have it served that way in the future.

Then Suicides, in Heart of
New York
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—A well dressed
middle-aged man and a handsome young
woman quarreled today on Fifth avenue
until the man drew’ a revolver, shot
the woman three times ,then blew out
his brains. The man died instantly
and theer is little hope that the woman
can survive.
Letters found in the man's pocket led
to the belief that he was Abraham Fink,
of Buffalo. The letters were signed by
Violet Rogers, of 12 Vine street, Buf
falo.
The letters were mailed from a hotel
in Atlantic City and were signed “Your
darling Violet’ ’and “Your dearest Vio
let.”
Witnesses of the shooting say the
woman was reading a letter aloud, ap
parently to the great annoyance of the
man.
RAfter repeatedly commanding her to
discontinue the reading, the man drew
his revolver and fired. The shooting
took place near the corner of Fifth ave
nue and Thirtieth street.
At the hospital the woman said that
she was Rebecca Silverman, twenty-one
years old, and that she lived with her
brother in this city. Fink, she said,
was a widower about forty-eight years
old, who traveled as a pewelry sales
man.
Fink had nearly $3,000 in currency in
his pocket.

NO PROTECTORATE TO BE
PLACED OVER NICARAGUA
WASHINGTON, Aug. J.—Secretary
Bryan’s plan for an American protecto
rate over Nicaragua, providing for
American supervision of Nicaragua's
finances, independence and foreign rela
tions, today was shelved for the time
being.
Apparently with the knowledge of the
administration, the senate foreign rela
tions committee, before which the pro
ject has rested for two weeks, passed
a resolution asking the secretary of
state to submit a new Nicaraguan
treaty, omitting the protectorate policy.
The compact, at the request of the sen
ate committee, is to be limited strlotly
to the original negotiations with Nica
ragua, which provided the United States
was to pay $3,000,000 for an exclusive
canal right across the country, a naval
base site on the bay of Fonseca and a
lease of the Corn islands in the Car
ibbean sea.
The situation had been laid before th*
president, it is understood, and it is ex
pected that the administration will sub
mit next week a new draft of the treaty
that will comply with the senate's sug
gestions. laeinbers of the foreign rela
tions committee asserted today that the
future policy of the government as to
ti.e establishment of Central American
protectorates had not been determined.

Writes Open Letter Scoring
Financiers of Country
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4,—In a circular
letter to country bankers issued today.
Chairman Owen, of the senate banking
committee, enumerated what he consid
ered to be the advantages to them oi|
the Glass-Owen currency bill, and stated
that It would relieve the banking busl->
ness from the control of a half-dozen
“very ambitious gentlemen who could
tday shake this country to its founda
tion by panics whenever they pleased.”
"If a legislative investigation was
made of the panic of 1907 to ascertain
who were the beneficiaries of that panto,
this country would learn a much needed
lessons in finance,” said he.
After an array of figures, Senator
Owen reached the conclusion in his let
ter that the net result to the average)
$100,000 bank would be a substantial
gain over the present system of approxe
imately $3,000, or 3 per cent on its cap. 1
ltal. He declared another advantage ofj
the bill would be to permit country
banks to lend half their time deposits,
or a fourth of their capital and aurJ
plus on farm loans.
“I should be in favor also,” said he,i
"of giving them other advantages which
we can do more intelligently when we
codify the national bank act next win
ter."
