"OPULENT YANKEE" GETTING SCARCER
Americans Who Go Abroad Do Not Throw Money Around as in the Old Days. FRUGAL AS ALL OTHERS TIME WAS WHEN EVERYBODY TOOK A BIO RAKE-OFF FROM THE SPENDTHRIFT VISITORS FROM THE "NEW COUNTRY.
London, July 16. The "opulent
Yankee" Idea teems to be breaking up. Time wu when the annual Amert
can Invasion was supposed to spell
exceptionally big profits for all with whom the cross-pond visitors cume In
teach, from the hotel proprietors to
tho waiter with the oily palm. People are beglnnlnz to find out, however, that, all things taken Into
consideration, the average American
excepting the fashionable parties and maybe a dollar millionaire here and there are not less frugal than the average people of other countries. Just now Kngland and the continent are crowded with American visitors, but t2iey are not all millionaires, as in
other days. Many of them have just
average middle-class pockets, and the
palm oil experts are learning that
"American does not necessarily mean
4 visitor with unlimited money to dis
tribute. , "As a matter of fact," said a London feotet manager recently, "I should say ihaUthe Frenchman Is much freer with - his money than the American, while anyone else, even the average German, Is bettor than the alleged lavish American. "You should see the Frenchman dispensing tips on arriving at Dover. I aw pne foolish man there the other day distributing florins to railway porters as though they bad been pence. For the simple information that he might smoke In a non-smoker. If no one objected, he majestically banded a florin to the startled railway porter. No American could beat that" A tourist agent said that "the wealthy Americana who spoiled the face of tho - globe for all economically-Inclined tourists are fast dwindling. The American traveller, of course, likes giving the Impression that he Is a man of wealth and Importance, and he stays at big hotels, may be; but ' he gets his meals on the cheap at the modest restaurant round the corner. "Recently a crowd of 200 tourists from America went round the world. In the east, the hotel keepers and natives of Colombo, Singapore and Hong Kong made great preparations and thanked their joss for delivering the Yankees Into their hands. But lo! the visitors who had been expected to buy champagne wholesale, drank Iced water and were most f rug In the way of tips. They passed the curio hops without buying, and paid strictly legal fares to the rickshaw coolies, with the result that word was passed ahead to every port that the Americans were a disappointing lot I think this summer a good many fols here and on the continent have found out the same thing."

Nebraska County Conventions
Declare Against County Option Law. 1 r WAS HIS ONE BIG ISSUE
OF TWENTY-ONE COUNTIES REPORTING, BUT ONE FAVORS NEW "PARAMOUNT ISSUE" RAISED BY THE PEERLESS ONE.
Omaha, "Neb., July 16. William Jennings Bryan and his county option prohibition scheme were turned down hard In Nebraska today, when the democratic convention's held In various counties throughout the state declared against his new "paramount issue" In no uncertain manner. At midnight tonight twenty-one counties, casting forty percent of the vote, had reported and Bryan and his issue secured the vote of just one county, that being Bryan's home county. Bryan has made his big campaign
on county option, and it was to secure the adoption of this plank in the dem
ocratic state platform that he fought
so strenuous. While a majority of the
counties had not reported at midnight yet those which had reported were so overwhelmingly against county option
as to make sure the defeat of Bryan.
Late this afternoon R. T. Metcalf,
editor of Bryan's paper, accepted the filing made of his name as a candidate
for United States Senator, and he will make the race backed by all of Bryans
strength.

separation were the grounds on
which the Parker woman prosecuted
the suit.
The four children, the oldest of
whom Is 15, were given to the mother. Parker had borrowed money and
gave a chattel mortgage on live stock
This fell due and in order to avoid ap

a futile search was made for him as
it was thought that 'his mind was at

STANDARD OIL HOT TD BE CHECKMATED
New Holding Company Being
Formed Abroad to Preclude Federal Dissolution.
CAPITAL TWENTY MILLIONS
NEW CORPORATION WILL ACT
-INDEPENDENTLY" UNTIL UNITED STATES COURTS DISSOLVE THE OLD TRUST.
London, July 16. Fearing an adverse decision In the dissolution suit now pending before the supreme court of the United States, the Standard Oil Company has paved the way for operation under a new name In the formation of a new company abroad, according to a report current today In the financial district, following the announcement by Samuel Untermeyer of New York of a new gigantic deal. Though Mr. Untermeyer, one of America's foremost corporation lawyers, refused to give the details of the new $20,000,000 organization before he left for Carlsbad, it is today understood to be merely a subterfuge of the trust. His declaration that it would not fight the Standard, but would be Independent, Is looked upon as a partial corroboration of the report. Recent governmental action against the trust, such as that by AustriaHungary, with the crushing of the monopoly as Its object, is said to be an important factor in the new organiza
tion.
"The powerful group of internation
al bankers," mentioned in the first ru
mors of the deal are understood to' be
Half a Billion May Be Saved Proposed Mercantile Clearing House in London Would Solve Congestion and Turn Millions Into New Channels.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE. London, July A clearing house for goods is the latest solution suggested In dealing with the enormous quantities of merchandise and produce which dally arrives in the world's greatest city, "and a special meeting of the London Chamber of Commerce is to be called to consider the plan, whose originators say that as soon as itis carried out it will at once set free the 30,000,000 square feet at present occupied by the freight stations of London, and place at the disposal of the railroad companies a capital of S5no.0Q0.0tiO which is at present locked up in those stations. The inventor of the scheme has already worked out his plan by means of a model, and this will be exhibited before the London Chamber at the special meeting. Briefly stated, the idea is to acquire for the clearing house a site near King's Cross railroad station so as to be within easy access of the principal termini, and to erect upon it a clearing house capable of dealing with the freight traffic now centered at the carious stations. Not only it is hoped, will the carrying out of his project mean much to the railroads, but it will -go a long way towards solving the great problem connected with London traffic. It will remove bodily from the streets a large proportion of the heavy traffic, and so In a moment relieve the ever increasing congestion. Thus, apart altogether from the economy which will result to the railroads, the project may render quite
unnecessary the contemplated cutting
of new roads at a cost to the tax payers of many millions.
The goods will be brought from the ware houses or the receiving depots to the clearing house in bulk, and thence transferred by means of cranes to the
sorting platforms. Then one one each
will be dealt with and placed in a container or tray bearing the name of the particular railway on whose system the delivery place of the parcel Is
situated. Then the mere pressing of an electric button will serve to transfer the
tray when full from the platform to
the railway truck, on which it will proceed to Its journey's end. The advocates of the idea contend that it will solve the question of the handling of the freight traffic of London on the same basis as the bankers years ago solved the difficulties which once existed in connection with the exchange of checks. Sordid Law Balks Work. The rights of treasure trove are responsible for a temporary stoppage of the excavations at the ancient city of Verulaneum, St. Albans. The work was making good progress, and the societies of antiquaries were, hoping
to obtain some interesting finds, but
the uncertainty of the law in relation to possession has led to complications. I am told that the matter is now in the hands of the lawyers, and until
certain rights have been legally set
tled no further progress will be made.
At Old Sarum, however, the work.
which was suspended during the win
ter, has recommenced, and will be continued without intermission until the autumn, provided sufficient funds
are forthcoming.
Already some parts of the Roman stations have been uncovered. But the excavators will probably go deeper still, for the site is undoubtedly prehistoric, and some interesting discoveries may be expected. It may be, as in the case of Troy, that they will come across remains undreamed of as yet. The results already obtained are encouraging. Under the superlntendtower. there are traces of a series of chambers. ". The excavators are now approaching the tower from both the east and west sides. Proposes Empire Fair. A Bcheme put forth by Sir Peter Bam for the holding of a large Imperial Exhibition In London at an early date, it is stated, has been well received, and Sir Peter hopes that before he returns to South Africa in August be will have formed a strong and representative committee. "The idea," said Sir Peter yesterday, "is to hold an exhibition showing exactly what can be produced and manufactured throughout- the empire. It is proposed that prominent men from England and all parts of the empire shall make a personal tour of the overseas dominions with a view to getting the governments and peoples thoroughly interested in the scheme, so that the exhibition will .be an eyeopener. "There will have to be a large guarantee from the governments and peoples of the " colonies concerned. But there are to be no politics or profit.making for personal ends. Naturally we shall wish to make a profit, but this will be devoted to the work of furthering the interests of the empire as a whole, especially to the great work of cementing the commercial ties between the motherland and the colonies. In the old country we hope to secure the interest of all great industrial centers, and of free traders and protectionists and all "other sections of the community throughout the empire. . "Some of the most prominent statesmen and commercial- men will" be
brought into communication, and this ence of Calonel Hamley, some old buildings were' discovered last year, and a massive wall has been revealed. Between this wall and the great watch it is hoped will pave the way for the imperial council, which has already been mooted, and which will be able to decide in what way the mother country and the over seas dominions can be brought together in a way never before experienced. It has both shown how the many conflicting interests can be united under one flag. We want to extend the same spirit and principle to the whole of the empire. "It is felt that the time is now ripe for such an exhibition as I have foreshadowed, for there has been no purely British enterprise of the sort for the past twenty years."

merely agents of the Standard, though the handling of the $5,000,000 in cash and $15,000,000 in securities involved in the deal will be such that they will ostensibly appear independent. The Standard, it is reported, already
