at Wilmington, Del., the allegec
f existence of a $500,000,000 placei
_ gold deposit, which figures promie
nently in the McCune case, in which
s the Duponts and other leading Delate

it is said, floated a large cor_
poration on'the strength of having
e discovered the source of the gold ol
v the ancient Incas. He finally became
a involved with the postoffice departq
\ ment~ McCune is now at liberty under
$10,000 bail, and, according tc
Barber, is in Peru again endeavoring
s to locate the treasure.
r The mine is said to be near the
3 head waters of the Amazon river.
According to the McCune prospectus

a free gold. Barber said that he spent
1 six weeks making an investigation,
but declined to state with what rej

Will Ask Congress to Centre Attention
on Defence Plans.
'j Hot Springs, Va., Dec. 26.?Congress
will be urged by President Wil:
son to concentrate its attention upon
\ the administration's national defence
programme immediately after the
^ Christmas holidays. It was learned
here tonight that while the president
has no desire to see the preparedness
'! plans rushed through without full
11
\ consideration and debate, he is most
^anxious to have thevarmy and navy
' j bills disposed of as promptly as possi|
ble. He not only believes it is essenI
tial to put the war and navy depart"
j ments in a position to begin work on
' i their new programmes without delay,
"' but wants the congressional calendars
' cleared for general legislation later
r t
'I in the winter.
Snow fell here all night last night,
covering the ground to a depth o'
1 more than a foot. This did not keep
the president and his bride from hav"
Tng their daily automobile ride, however.
Tonight there was a meeting in the
5 hotel held under the auspices of the
' Marquis and Marchioness of Aber1
deen and addressed by Mrs. Setli Bar2

her Red Cross work in France. The
3 president and Mrs. Wilson declined
3 invitations to attend.

i accompanied by thunder and light- I
1 ning and a gale which reached a ma?.- I

early today as the aftermath of r I
{ Christmas fog. It indirectly causer |
. seven deaths in this vicinity, carrier r

ping, crippled railroad traffic, am
. caused considerable property damage
l The phenomenon of thunder an
. lightning in the midst of a drivin
. snow awakened New Yorkers at th
. height of the storm about 7 o'cloc
j this morning. A gale from the soul
accompanied by rain had been blov
? ing during the night, but the ten . c
. perature dropped during the earh ^
. morning hours, changing the rain tc t{
, hail and then to snow. The loca' ~
; weather bureau reported a total pre J
cipitation of 5.2 inches, of which 2.S j
> was snow.
The wind shifted to the northwes' I
; and increased in violence, reaching Itf I
f ninety-mile intensity at 9 o'clock, and ^
; soon after carrying off the storrr clouds.
The gale continued, how.
ever, hurling signs and copings to the
i streets and demolished several partly
built structures." The storm had
its centre in Massachusetts, the
weather bureau reported, and the
telegraph companies said their service
in New England had been badly
crippled, although communication
had not been entirely lost with the
principal cities.
Last Buffalo for Kansas Christinas
The last buffalo soon will tickle
the palate of Medicine Lodge's epicureans.
Even now the shaggy monarch
is being fattened for slaughter at
Christmas. It is from Frank Rockefeller's
herd, which for years has enjoyed
an undisturbed reign on the
ranch near Belvidere.
Last week the few remaining animals
of the herd were sold; the last
o te of the lot to a Medicine Lodge
butcher. When his majesty of the
plains was on the wane Mr. Rockefeller
gathered a herd to perpetuate
the breed. Disease and hard-winters.

and the herd dwindled.?Medicine

Had Seen Enough. <
As E. J. Bowes, the theatrical
manager, tells the tale, a simple
garbed man walked into one of the
handsomest and most ornate of
Broadway cafes and called for a drink
.of straight rye. Having drunk, he
counted put three nickles upon the
bar and prepared to depart.
"Hold on, please," s^id the gentlemanly
attendant; "the price is 25
cents."
"What talk have you?" demanded
the patron. "Why, I can get the same
brand of licker anywhere on Tenth
avenue for 15 cents."
"Probably so," explained the barkeeper,
"but you see we do not
charge for the whiskey alone. We
have to charge for all these decorations?for
the hangings at the windows,
and the furnishings, and the
pictures on the walls. That picture
yonder cost $10,000. That's why we
have to ask you a quarter for a drink,
see?"
"I see," said the man, staring about
him, and out he went.
The next day he returned. He entered
slowly, holding one hand across
