In order to properly illustrate the
paper Mr.. Pushman, of Chicago, had
brought to Kenosha large numbers OF
patterns of rugs which had been hung
about the walls of the club room at the
library building.
The paper of Mrs. Yu1e was very
interesting one and with the i1lustra-
tons she showed, in a clever manner,
how the rugs were made and the dis
tinct characteristics of the rugs made
in the different countri Mrs. Yu1e
showed that each nation had it's char
acteristic figures and by studying the
figures of rug it was very easy to tell
where it had been made. Mr.. Push
man answered many questions for the
ladies in regard to the manufacture of
the different kinds of rugs and in all
the afternoon was one of the most in
teresting ever spent by the club.
During the earlier part of the after
noon the ladies had the usual drill in
parliamentary work. The report OF
Mrs E>arr and Mrs Eodo1xor r1o I, T.
tended the convention of the fedora.

AMAZON REGION OFFERS
WEALTH At RISK OF LIFE
U. S. Minister to Brazil Warns Ad-
venturous Americans OF Rubber
Exploitation Perils.

The United States minister to Brazil
having received ns ny inquiries concern
ing the opportunities for Americans to
make money in the rubber producing
region of the upper Amazon country. has
reported that. while rubber is abundant,
with great chances of ample return for
its exploitation, the climate and topog-
raphy Of this remote country are such
as 10 imperil life. even during the brief
est sojourn, for those unaccustomed to
uninterrupted equatorial heat.
Swamps. malaria. miasmic vapors.
poisonous insects. none but foul water
to drink, insufficient nourishmcnt, and
torrential rains. all contribute TO 4 NOR
tally which is conscrvatively rcckoncd
at two lives TO each ton of rubber ex-
ported.
Large companies can doubtless derive
great profit from their investments in
this industry, but it will be to their ad-
vantage to employ acclimated natives
rather than laborers imported from
northern countries. The minister adds
an earnest warning against emigration
from the United States to the upper
Amazon country

missioner Mcfarland.

Henry Silas, colored, who Is on trial
in Criminal Court No. l for the MUIR
der OF Nettie Carter. also colored, on
February last, yesterday testified in
his own behalf He contended that the
killing of the woman was purely acct
dental. His story of the circumstances
surrounding the death OF Nettie Carter
is substantially as follows:
On the date in question he said he
went to 1924 II Street northwest. where
he and the woman lived. Soon after
ward he went out TO get some liquor.
His way led him past the Curtis house,
where he heard music. He went in, he
said. and selecting a partner. COM
menced TO dance with her. He had not
been dancing many minutes when the
Carter woman appeared in the hall. He
then stopped dancing and accompanied
her TO their home.
There. he said. they commenced to
quarrel about some trifling matter, and
Nettie Carter ordered him to pack his
trunk and go. He prepared to do this,
and when he had completed his ar
rangements to leave the house he and
the woman went down the stairs to-
gether.
On arriving on the second floor Silas
testified that Nettie Carter showed him
letter which she claimed proved that
he had been paying attentions to
others.
AT the time, he said, he had on a
short light-colored overcoat and over
his arm he carried black overcoat. In
the pocket of the latter he said there
was pistol, and as he stood there in
the room talking he took the weapon
out Of the pocket of the black coat and
placed it in the breast pocket of the
coat he wore.
AS he did so. Silas declared. the wom-
an grabbed hold of the weapon and in
their struggle for its possession 1t was
exploded. The woman fell to the floor
and he left the house. Silas denied
that be locked the doors of the room
in which he left the woman.
He further said he did not have any
idea that tie woman was seriously in |
iured, and when he learned that she was
dead he Immediately started to report |
the fact TO the police and surrender |
himself.
When the court convened yesterday |
morning a number of witnesses were |
called TO testify to the good reputation |
Of the defendant Among these was
Mcfarland. who said that
lie had known Silas for some time, and
recognized him as quiet, peaceful cit
iZen.
The testimony in the case was not
Inent of court. and will be resumed this

TO GRADE V STREET.
Commissioners Believe Work Should Be
Done in Near Future.

The Commissioners have sent to the
Senate District Committee their report
on Senate bill 1921, "fo- grading V Street
from North Capitol Street to Lincoln
Avenue east"
The Commissioners state that the pro-
posed work should be done in the near
future, but that they do not think 1t

provision should be made for these
streets before the Improvement OF
others is considered. The Commission
ers would be glad, they say. to have
this street added to the list for i'm
provement. so that the work n 1t might
be done so soon as 1t should be reached
