IMPORTANT CONVENTION
TO BE HELD IN CHICAGO
BEGINNING NEXT WEEK
CHICAGO, Sept. 6 (Correspondence
of Associated Press)—Delegates from
England, France, Spain, Mexico and
other countries, including industrial
leaders and the keenest experi
menters in the chemical world, are
expected to participate in the fifth
National Exposition of CheriTical In
dustries which will be held here in
connection with four important meet
ings of chemical societies, September
22-27. The societies are the Ameri
can Institute of Mining and Metal
lurgical Engineers, the American Cer
amic Society, the American Electro
chemical Society, and the Technical
Association of the Pulp and Paper In
dustry.
Three hundred and tniriy exmmis,
representative of forty different in
dustries, will be shown to prove that
Germany has been surpassed in her
own field and that America now easily
leads the world in the chemical arts.
Through the exhibits and the papers
to be read at the meetings of the
various societies the world, it is said,
.will learn authoritatively just what
America accomplished in the labora
tory during the war. ^
Much of this development, it is de
clared, will be equally valuable in
peace. Experiences with poison gas,
for example, resulted in the invention
of masks and other devices to pro
tect workers in industry from noxious
fumes. Substitutes have been found
for the drugs and dyes formerly im
ported from Germany, a potash indus
try valued at $31,961,626 has been
built up, and new processes have been
found for hardening steel, bronze and
other metals.
Among the exhibits promised at the
exposition are acid and alkali-proof
bronze of such hardness and strength
that it is made into instruments to
cut the hardest steels. The Techni
cal Association of the Pulp and Paper
Industry plans to show all the stages
of paper-making from the tree to the
finished product, and the United
States bureau of mines will show
safety appliances and paraphernalia
for guarding the workers in mines
and industrial plants.
A committee composed of some of
the foremost industrial chemists of
the country is in charge of the expo
sition. It is headed by Dr. Charles
H. Hertv of New York, and includes
Raymond F. Bacon, director of the
Mellon Institute; L. H. Baekeland,
member of the naval consulting
board; W. D. Bancroft, president of
the American Electro-chemical So
ciety; Henry B. Faber of the Indus
trial Filtration Corporation; Ellwood
Hendrick, president of the Chemists’
Club; Bernard C. Hesse of the Gen
eral Chemical Company; W. H. Nich
ols, president of the American Chemi
cal Society; R. P. Perry, president of
the Barrett Company; G. W. Thomp
son. president of the American Insti
tute of Chemical Engineers; T. B.
Wagner, United States Food Products
Corporation; M. (’. Whitaker, presi
dent of the United States Industrial
Chemical Company; A. D. Little and
H. C. Parmalee.

WICKERSHAi TAKING
EVIDENCE AT ANCHORAGE
—-♦
Testimony taken yesterday in the
delegate election contest was devoted
to alleged frauds in the voting at
Chickaloon. The evidence of John
Probst and A1 Walter, subpoenaed by
James Wickersham, the contestant,
went to establish the fact that the
ballot box, books and ballots were
taken from the polling place by the
two election judges for the purpose
of securing votes of persons who were
sick and unable to walk to the polls.
Walter testified that the influenza
epidemic was prevalent in Chickaloon
on election day and that the judges,
with the necesities for voting, were
absent from the polls for thirty min
utes at a time and during the in
tervals different voters appeared to
cast their ballots.
Probst testified that he called at
one voting place but could not vote
on account of the judges being ab
sent with the ballot box.
Probst further testified that the
ballot box was simply an empty pow
der box with the cover nailed down.
Probst intended to vote for Wicker
sham but was sick and could not wait
until the return of the judges al
though he made the attempt to vote
within the hours prescribed by law.
A hot battle of words arose during
Probst’s testimony between Tom
Price, representing the Sulzer-Grigs
by interests, and the witness. Price
tried to prove that Probst was in
fluenced by the spirit of revenge and
because of objections formerly raised
as to the business he conducted in
Chickaloon.
The testimony of other witnesses
was postponed by stipulation.—An
chorage Times, Sept. 5.

BORN OF EWr RESS’ DREAM
Persian Legend Concerning the Design
and Construction of the Beau
tiful Taj Mahal.
A beautiful story, which is not gen
erally known, of the creation of the
Taj Mahal is hidden away in the
pages of the Persian manuscripts. The
emperor wished to commemorate his
undying devotion and esteem for his
beloved consort, but nothing satisfied
his ambition, until one day Arjumand
told him that in a dream she had seen
the noblest and most perfect of
monuments, which if actualized, would
be unparalleled in the whole world for
its matchless beauty. The emperor
sent for experts from all over the em
pire and commanded them to design the
architecture of tlie dream. They la
bored to no effect; they could not vis
ualize the dream. At last one day an
old venerable Pit*’ ascetic presented
himself, who said: “1 can help you to
obtain what you seek.”
He then presented a mysterious po
tion to one of the architects, before
whose dazed eyes the lovely monument
in all its glory was revealed. Tin
magic of the potion lasted while he
drew the plan in all its detail, then
he fell hack exhausted. The empress,
seeing the design of her vision real
ized. was full of joy and the emperor
at once set to work to have this edifice
constructed. The impossibility of lay
ing a firm foundation next presented
itself. The swampy character of the
banks of the silvery Jumna made it
impossible to erect any construction
that would stand, until, in another
dream, it was revealed that the basis
must he of silver. Today the Taj
stands, like an ethereal drop of flaw
less pearl, on its foundation of solid
silver—breathing forth the poetry of
its conception:
"Sweeter to rest together dead.
Far sweeter titan to live asunder.”

VETERAN REVOLUTIONIST
WHO SERVED WITH DIAZ
IS DEAD IN MEXICO
I
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 28 (by mail).
—George B. Hone, veteran of two
revolutions, physician, miner and
ranch owner, died recently at his
home in Agua Prieta, Sonora, just
across the international boundary
from Douglas. Death was caused by
illness contracted while campaigning
in southern Sonora against Yaqui In
dians with the Mexican federal forces.
Dr. Hone was born in Germany but
came to the United States with his
parents when he was five years old.
More than forty years ago he entered
Mexico and shortly afterward settled
at Bavispe, in eastern Mexico. When
Porfirio Diaz began his last and suc
cessful revolution, Hone served with
him as surgeon and as a major.
Six years ago the elderly surgeon
joined the ranks of the constitutional
army, where he served until his death.
Dr. Hone was married three times,
each of his brides being a member of
the distinguished Samaniego family
of Sonora. Thirty-six years ago he
married Miss Rita Samaniego, who
died two years later, leaving one son,
Dr. George Hone, Jr., of Agua Prieta.
Three years later Dr. Hone married
Miss Amelia Samaniego, the sister of
his former wife. Fifteen years ago
the second wife died and three years
later Dr. Hone married Miss Maria
Samaniego, a cousin of his two for
mer wives, who survives with three
children.
