Elder Brinser Declares
Cornmeal Was Made
by a Secret Process
The question of whether S. C. Brin
ser's cornmeal, the standard basis for
countless bowls and fries of mush for
nearly seventy years, was manufac
tuted by a secret process which had
been stolen by a rival firm was the
question raised before President Judge
Kunkel this morning.

ily secret and thtn his son had stolen
it. Then, backed by the capital of the
other two .he alleges, manufactures
and sells the new product, to the in

skating late yesterday on Park river,

Malloy, fourteen, who was in the lead,

"Come on, fellows, if we skate fast
we can get over."
The next instant the five boys were
in the water. Their cries brought
workmen from the plant of the Hart
ford Rubber Works. Tt was growing

lighted up the pond.
The workmen carried inflated auto

Shirernanstown, Pa., Jan. 8. Mr.

■celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
their wedding. Although quite a num
ber of golden weddings have been obi
Berved in Cumberland county, there
lias possibly not been an event of the
kind in which a parent of either party
j was present. Daniel Weaver, father
|of the bridegroom, who will be 95
years old next month, attended the
festivities and enjoyed them no less
than did his son and the latter's wife.
Another interesting feature of the

mode up of Daniel
WVav- r, Ills son, C.eorgc Weaver, the

! Tile event was a complete surprise
to the couple, both of them having
forgotten that yesterday, fifty years

sympathy aroused by the fact that
nearly 20,000 poor emigrants, after
having sold their little all to come to
this "land of promise" were turned
back at the door because the immi

able. Secretary Wilson, of the depart
ment of labor, is preparing to fore
warn all such prospective Immigrants
and save them, if possible, from
breaking old home ties in a useless
search for new ones.
The secretary said: "With tile aid
of the foreign governments and acting
in "co-operation with our' State depart-
I rnent, or bureau of immigration can
I without any new legislation, I think,
i perfect a. practical way of finding out
