To Victim of Blackmail Plot
LONDON, Dec. 23.—C. E. Robinson
will appeal against the judgment in
the Midland bank case and has exe
cuted a deed of assignment making
over all his rights in the £125,000
which he claims from the bank, ac
cording to a statement made to the
press in behalf of Mrs. Robinson,
who says she has begged her husband
to fight the case to the last ditch.
The deed of assignment, according
f£i Mrs. Robinson, provides that if
appeal is successful the money
shall go to a public trustee to repay
Rajah Sir Hari Singh, who parted
with it in consequence of an alleged
blackmailing plot involving his re
puted relations with Mrs. Robinson.
If the rajah refuses to accept the
money, the trustee is empower to pay
the amount to any hospital or char
ity chosen by him.

i
Wiil Use Same Old Method
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Scientists
and financiers who are investigating
the claims of Professor Meitlie, a sci
entist of international reputation that
he accidentally brought about the
transmutation of gold from quicksil
ver, admitted his cliams when they
succeeded in duplicating the experi
ments and themselves manufactur
ing a small quantity of the metal.
The theory that financial chaos might
result from the discovery was ex
ploded when the cost of producing
one ounce of gold by this method was
estimated at $140,000, while the pres
ent value of gold is only twenty dol
lars. At the same time it was indi
cated that the supply of quicksilver
available would not be sufficient to
affect the markets to any appreciable
extent.

CAPETOWN, South Africa, Dec. 2$.
—King Solomon would have to look
to his reputation of being the most
married man if he were living in
South Africa today.
Latest census reports reveal that
there are men with fifty-one, seventy
nine and 110 wives.
The man with the largest house- i
hold, according to the census sta
tistics, is a man with seventy-nine
wives, 134 • sons, and fifty-four
daughters, while cases of men with
fifty-five wives, fifty sons and fifty
daughters are frequent. The census
authorities could not obtain con
firmation of a man reported to have
nine-three wives and 184 children,
owing to a great number of them
being in different parts of the coun
try.
The census officer, quoting the
first named man, says he told him
he was just getting a start as a
family man.
The number of native husbands
is 718,292, and the number of wives
is 854,560.
NEW FRENCH MOTOR FUEL
HAS HARDER KICK THAN GAS
PARIS, Dec. 22.—Tests by the ar
tillery laboratories at Vincennes are
said to have justified claims made
for a new motor fuel extracted from
debenzolized coal tar by a process
invented by M. Makhonine, a Russian
engineer. When used in heavy trucks
and tractors, according to Le Matin,
it developed much greater power than
gasoline and gave slightly higher mile
age to the gallon. Its cost is said to
be one-tenth that of gasoline. Its pro
moters claim that the fuel which is
non-inflammable will make the French
army independent of imported gaso
line.
One dollar spent for necessities of
life will go as far as 60 cents in 1913.
