llahmcnt of un agricultural credit sys

'resembles n well equipped train placed
on a well laid track and ready to start.
but lacking the means of getting up
steam.
"The aim of the prc-ent proposal for
a land credit system Is to open the
money market to the farmer on an
equal footing with the business man
' -or tho manufacturer."
' "What .ire the farmers' desiderata
fop the development of agriculture?"
r' asked the correspondent.
w "Tho ability U borrow adequate cap
ital at moderate Interest for a long
k term of ycura with nn amortization
(!tz scheme automatically extinguishing the
i,. loan when the time has expired," re
plied the Ambassador. "The American
fnrmer of the future," continued Mr.
Herrlck, "will be a business man run-
nlng bis farm on business lines, lie
lias the same claim
to credit as rail
roads or steamship1. Ills realization
of this Is a significant and character
istic feature of the present Irresistible
movement In favor of land credit re
form, which President Taft's action has
evoked.
"Public attention in America," went
on Mr. Herrlck. "has been too cxclu-
slvcly dvoted to fostering Infant In
mr. dustrles. The result ban been that
't while, owing to the growth of point-
S)lo latlon the demand for agricultural prod-
jyvuco Is Increasing 60 per cent., the
i-fl " supply Is only Increasing 3C per cent.
If thts state of affairs continues
America In a decade will become i food
purchasing nation. Thts ought nit u.
rise.
"Japan Illustrates the possibilities of
agriculture," said Mr. Herrlck. "Its
reft Is smaller than that of California
Jjfily one-sixth of it Is capable of
-e .agricultural cultivation owing to Its
.volcanic nature; yet Japan supports
fifty million people. Th- possibilities
of the Americans are practically un
limited. Their Immense natural re
sources could supply the whole world
with fi'oilstjfN.
"Their gradual realization of this
truth, which has produced the present
v movement of reform In the problem
' 'of agricultural credit, Is not being
studied for the 11m time In America.
The solution of the problem, however,
received a setback thirty years ago.
j when an effort was made to finance
' the farmer by bonds guaranteed by
mortgages on agricultural property.

the Hitting of that futuous aermati Par

Hut no safeguards were adopted, no
Government supervision was" exacted,
reckless speculation resulted. Immense
losses Were Incurred and the Inevita
ble icnctlon set In.
"The delay, however, gives the Amer
icans the advantage of being able to
profit by the experience of other na
tions. The creation of the German
mortgage bank system dates only from
1S09. The Investigation of thut sys
tem, on which my report to President
Taft was based, has therefore produced
new and valuable material.
"Agricultural credit Is the problem
of the hour," declared Mr. Herrlck.'
"Great lirltaln by passing the Irish
land purchase act took the first step
toward Its solution and In Great Britain
a royal commission has been collecting
further data for the past eighteen
months."
In reply to n question ns to why the
national banks In America do not un
dertake the work of a credit system, as
suggested In u letter by KImer K.
Adams, president of tho First National
Hank of Fergus Falls. Minn., to The
St: of October 19, the Ambassador said
that he considered the national banks
unsuitable for this work, as their op
erations are entirely different tu hand
ling liquid commercial paper. Separate
Institutions are necessary, he declared,
there being a sulllclent amount of busi
ness to occupy nil forms of banking;.

It would be difficult to find in all India,
ho writes, a more remarkablo personality
than JakQbi. or to discover In any part
of the world a man who has 1 BUCh nn
amazinRlifo.
Horn nt Constantinople, he was at the
cany ago of 12 wld oh a slavo at the
market thero and becarm? the nronertv
of a rich pasha. Fortunately tho pasha
treated him well and instead of putting
him to menial work ho encourngod tho
younu Jnkobi to take an interest in Orien
tal literature, philosophy and occultism,
For some years Jakobi stay.'d in tho
house, of tho pasha, and it was during
these years that his keenly receptive mind
gathered so much of that curious Kastorn
wisdom that was afterward to mako
him ono of tho. leading figures in Anglo-
muiiui rnnjieiy ni mmia.
On tho death of tho iiaslm .laknl.l
thrown onco mora upon tho world, and
curing littlowhat'he did or where ho went
ho decided to mako tho pilgrimage to
Mecca.
After the pilgrimage he ma do bin
to Bombay, and havinic
for a whlio ho got' a small annolntrhent
at tho Nizam's court at Hyiforabad.
At Hyderabad ho learnoU a groat deal
about precious stones, nnd after making
a few thousand rupoos by the salo of an
emerald ho boldly tet out fpr Delhi nnd
established hlmseir thero as a jeweller.
At Delhi ho prospered amazingly anil
soon finding tho city too small for him ho
moved to Simla and ontorod the famous
Mart At Simla hi real career Iwgan.
Tho charm of his magnetic personality,
tho strango mystery Burroundlng vo
much of his early life, his groat wealth
and the wonders of his famous house
Helvedere, nnd tho marvellous m'-abous
ho held, all combined to mako Jakob i
tho most eagerly sought after man in
Simla.

POPE SAID TO FAVOR
1. TAFT'S ELECTION
Vatican Appreciaes His Work
in Settling Friar Lands
Question. .
DOESN'T INFLUENCE VOTE
I His Holiness Says No President
1 Ever Limited Freedom of
l the Church.
Special Cable Detpatch to The Six,
Romk, Nov. 2. A Roman prelate who
is supposed to bo on Intimate terms with
Pope Pius X. has told Tnp. SDN corre
spondent that .his Holiness is not inter
ested In the American Presidential elec
tion for the simple reason that he does
not know the difference botweon'tho Dem
ocratic, the Republican or tho Progressive
party.
As a matter of fact, although the Pope's
knowledge of American political parties
may bo slight, his interest In the election
howover, is very considerable. The
Pope's sympathies nro for President Taft,
whoso work in connection with the settle
ment of tho Philippines friar lands ques
tion is greatly appreciated by tho'Vatican.
Mr. Taft has many friends in the Sacred
Collego from whom tho Pope has derived
valuable information about tho President,
whom ho admires greatly.
Col. Roosovelt is decidedly not persona
grata at the Vatican, where he is known
only because of the Bellamy Storer Bean
dal and the lamentablo affair in connec
tion with his prospective audience with
the Pope in 1910. Gov. Wilson, 'is entirely
unknown and is regarded as' an 'enigma.
The Pope does not influence the Cath
olic vote. Recently ho was reported as
saying: "Hitherto every President has
not limited In any way tho freedom the
Cathollo Church in America. This' polloy
will surely bo continued in tho future."
Tim Catholio electors, like the others in
America, therefore are Tree to vote for a
candidate of tholr.own choice.
, As far as can lie ascertained, if President
Taft is reelected his Holiness will cable
his congratulations. It is uncertain what
ho will do in caso of the election of Gov.
Wilson, but it is quite certain that he will
not congratulate Col. Roosevelt If lie
should bo the choice of the American
people.

Knrlco Caruso, tho tenor, beforedio com
menced his suit against Slgnorlna du
elled! and others for defamation of
character, urged him not to push tho
caso against the woman as her convic
tion nnd Imprisonment would ' bring
shame on Caruso's children, of whom
she Is the mother.
Slgnor Caruso replied that he would
prosecuto tho suit for the sake of his
children, saying: "I want tliem to know
that their father was an honest man.
As for their mother, they nro ashamed of
her already since sho left their father
and ran away with a chauffeur. Sho has
loBt her reputation nlrcady. A year's
Imprisonment will not hurt her; besides
she Is In lluenos Avrrs nml will nnt 1,a
I such a fool as to return to serve the

SCULPTOR'S FACE IN STATUE.
Celllnl'a Autographed Portrait
Found In Ilia Noted "Peraeaa."
Special Cable Despatch- to Tni 8cs.
Florencb. Nov. 2. Tho discovery by
Slgnor Bcncddettl of an autographed
portrait of the sculptor. Xlenvcnuto Cel
lini in tho lattcr's famous statue of Per
seus, -which reposes In the Loggia del
Lanzl, has excited great Interest. Tho
loggia Is crowded dally with Floren
tines, who spend their time making out
tho portrait of their great fellow citizen.
The face may be seen distinctly at tho
back of Perseus between tho shoulders.
The rib of the helmet forms tho nose and
the shadow of the Jointure of the wings
makes the eyes and the curling hair
and beard. The (ace Is startling in its
bold drawing and lifelike expression.
It Is a wonder that it was not noticed
before.

In duo course the ship ana cargo

Bale, Mimbles boatman. Among the

which had been used on'the vessel for
laying on a reddish paint. Bale picked
tho brush up and turning to a local
docksman he expressed his Intention
of rubbing the paint out, as the brush
was too good to throw away. He forth
with proceeded to the inside of the cave
for that purpose.
It would appear that Johnny did tho

rectly be described as the "rubbing In,'
remarkabably well.

A MODERN SHEPHERD.
One at Kensington Gardens Likes to
It en a Sportln Pace.
London, Oct. 19. Nothing perhaps so
sirmes tno stranger who visits Ken
sington Gardens and Hyde Park as tho
sneep browsing as to the manner born
and tho rabbits who frolic about on a
mveiy piece 01 green swara within a
few hundred yards of the dense traffic
of Piccadilly.
There Is also a character In Kensing
ton Gardens who should not be missed,
This Is he who tends the sheep, tho
gentle shepherd of Kensington Gar
dens. Tho shepherd's ago one may Dut
at 15. He has a blue suit that Is rather.
too oiue, a thin polychrome tie attached
to a butterfly collar, a signet ring
aaornB 111s linger, and a wisp of a cane
with a silver mount finishing the round
handle In his crook.
Hardly a Sylvan shepherd. He Is,
as ne snouid be, a power In the gar
dens. Vet It Is to be doubted If his
taBtes are altogether pastoral. He Is
often to be seen reading that part of
the evening Journal that deals with
tho "odds" or the "winner." At night'
when tho gardens aro closed and his
flock Is coughing In tho fog he can
not be distinguished from any other
young man that lives In London.
"AVIETTE" FLIES 39 INCHES.
Hlryelr With Wlnga ITard to Win

Paris, Oct. 22. Another "avlctte"
has flown a meter (39 inches), clearing
two marks which were nearly four
Inches high. Perhaps It would be
more correct to say another rider of n'
bicycle fitted with wings has suc
ceeded In Jumping, this dlstanco nnd
then Jumping It ogaln In tho opposite,
direction, thus winning a prize of $100.
The feat was performed before by
Poulaln on July 4, when ho won a $200
prize. The latest winner, Dubois, must
hnvo cleared threo times tho distance
nnd double tho height required when
after n dozen unsuccessful attempts ho
managed to clear tho two marks. Heal

seems a long way off.

Special Call Detpatch to Tai Sin.
Berlin. Nov. 2. With strips of plaster
on his face and forehead and.-wfth a gap
In his teeth, the Crown Prlnoe Frederick
William is slowly recovering from the
olosest call in his life.
That he did not break his neolr when he
was thrown .from his horn during a drag
hunt, at Dantzlg on Tuesday .regarded
almost as a miracle.' - v
The Crown Prinoe has n. English fond
ness for horses and hunting: He la a dar
ing and excellent rider. .
As is usual when any accident happens
to any member of royalty it- la difficult
to obtain details, the official statement
always minimizing tho, accident. It is
believed, however, that Mi crown
Prince's horse while, going at -a strong
naoe landed on his forefeet, In , a half
hidden ditch. ..(-,,
Tho. Prince's clothing was either paught
in the saddle or his left foot remained
in the stirrup. This ohecltad the flight
of tho horse, but it resulted in taa Prince's
face and head .striking. th-ground very
heavily. . '
Tho Crown Pilnoo has been. repeatedly
admonished by the Kaiser .against reck
lessness in sports and the futility of. taking
chances of getting, hurt, and the Emperor
may now forbid the Prinoe .participating
in hunts of this natura. v - " .
The Turkish defeats have caused deep
felt 1 disappointment In .German military
circles, whioh are smarting silently from
the stings oX the English and, French ridi
cule of the training, of the, Turks by Ger
man offioers. The criticisms, of the Ger
man military school as exemplified by the
Turkish defeats, however, ha,ve not sur
prised the high military men.
One of the highest- General in the
German army. In a lecture tp the General
Staff before the. outbreak, of the present
war, painted a pesslmistio picture pf the
conditions, in the Turkish army which, he
declared, as compared with the conditions
and tho spirit of the military, forcos.of the
Ralkan States, held no prospect' of a
Turkish victory. .
The leading Qerman military men deny
that the war, up, tp tho present has demon
strated the superiority of one school, for
while tho Bulgarians have some officers of
Russian training and Greece has some of
French training, many of the omocrs in
both ormiet have, been trained in Ger
many, and Bulgaria adopted a very rapid
offensive,' which is a fundamental, prin
clple of the German school.
.mo militarists attribute Uie results of
the canjpajgn.to the unprepftrediless of
th'e TurJ.heir hick ,of enthusiasm, or
ganization and morale, which jtre the
result pff tlje political pbqditioos which
have existed , in" Turkey during' the last
fewyears. I' 7 J
Declaring that they have been, driven
to desperation by the, eruditions' in the
German, theatrical and operatic world, tho
German 'actors and actresses are pro-
paring to ask the Reichstag, to adopt
legislation, for their relief.'" L
Tho proposed .bill which' 1 tftey desire
passed is. to ,provide some sort, of State
control over the dismissal of1 actors and
singers, to shut out those lacking talent,
to prevent overproduction, jo establish a
minimum salary, to compel the manage
menta to furnish the costumes or' mako
allowances for them, and also to prohibit
engagements of .actors and .singers who
desire to perform without' salary merely
for tho sako of, experience. '' ,
That there is a penn in, Berlin who
is acting, aa the 'medium", for 'thojie who
are willing to pay s;o 00 anii ''upward
for obtaining them German jtnd' Papal
titles, orders and decorations' was the
sworn testimony given this.' week by
Criminal Commiaeionpr Krliger'of Berlin
and others. ' ( ,' . 1 .' '
The case was,trjed at Atf.-la-h'apelle.
Isidor Fass, a former lawyer, was charged
with fraudulently claiming -to have the
ability to obtiip such dislinqtWrisr""''
Among, 'the. examples 'quoted were the
Order of the. Holy Sepulchre, carrying
the title of Counti.forlU.OOpj'thelioretto
order.carry ih'g the title of Ba'ron.f or 17,500.
and a title of nobility in one' of the small
German Spates for H5,00b ' "
Ilerr Fass, when .he took the stand ,
declared that he acted as the. agent of a
certain Ilerr Mos'or of Berlin, , who could
and did perform the promises of obtaining
tho distinctions.
Commissioner, Eruger. while he was
on the stand stated that he was regretfully
compelled to substantiate., the story of
tho salo of titles. Ile aajd that.it was a
lamentable fact that conslderable'money
was made In Berlin hr nutwtn'i rt?n tnni
it for their influence ln'setfurinif-decora-tions.

Upon .this evidence the. court released
Herr Fass on. the ground, that he was
acting in good faith and evidently per

secure a title or decoration.
