ALL HINGES ON PENDING INQUIRY
If Neutrality Is BEING Violated by
England II Roar VIII Come
From Europe.


New Orleans, April Authorization.
secretly secured is being forwarded from
here to the state and war department al
Washington as to the exact condition at
tending the British stock camp at Port
Chalmette. Secret service men are hard
at work. Chief John Wilkie was here for
few hours.
Official advices from Washington indi-
cate the war department. originally in
tended to employ secret surveillance, and
on the facts thus gained, to take open
steps when the facts were in hand. Pre-
ma ture announcement of the investigation
plan has spoiled that idea. To inquiries
| from Washington word was sent that, I'M
der the conditions now raised, only pub
! lie inquiry can be of avail
New fuel was added by the return Of
| two transports from Cape Town during
the night and morning. Officers in this
service have raised the claim that action
on the part of the United Stat es will like
ly involve Russia, Austria and Spain. In
these three countries England is main
tanning stock depots and shipping out
thousands of mules and horses. Should
the United States, as the result Of the
present inquiry, hold that the neutrality
| laws are violated, then, it is contended,
the European nations, which watch the
international laws with jealousy, will take
action.
Englands representatives here FROM
the local consul to the lowest ranking off,
Ger in charge Of shipments, insist that
they desire searching, careful investiga-
| ton. During the tWenty-seven months
| that the British government has been
buying horses and mules in the United
States for the South African service
they show that s25 900 has been paid
into American trade and Industrial chan
nels. Charges of neutrality violation, they
point out, have been made only after this
traffic has gone on for two years.
Extremely Cautious.
To prevent any entanglements with the
| United States government, it is contended
the most extreme precautions have been
taken. Said one British official:
| We have had English citizens come here in
numbers and request that they be allowed to
| enlist. They resided at points in the United
States and in Canada. To each and every
one the fiat statement was made that they
could not enlist, nor be sent over from here
| under any circumstances. They were told tc
go to enlisting agencies in Canada. We did
this with the view that no shadow of suspi-
c:on should be cast on our trade here.
The Boer side of the case will be more
vigorously represented here during tn lat
ter days of the week. General Pearson
is scheduled to reach here on Friday or
Saturday from Washington. Commandment
Jan Kiege will lecture tomorrow night
urging that if shipment of the American
mule is cut off the war will be ended.
To-day there will be 1000 less mules in
the camp. for the transport Honoriteus
will sail in the afternoon for Cape Town

W. W. JACOBS INTERVIEWED.
4 Little First Hand Information ADout
 Novelist and Humorist.

MT. w. w. Jacobs, whose amusing novel. "At Sunvtch Port" has just made its appearance, is quoted thls way in a recent interview:
 q do little work and l have no methods. published my first book, Many Cargoes, in 1896, and since then one book of mine-never a very large one-has appeared each year, e2- cept in 1899, when Idid nothing
 "When I want aa idea l sit down and think of one, and take as long as I possibly can in working 1t out. Sometimes I publish a story exactly as I first write 1t; sometimes l make many alterations. l really have no rules"
 MT. Jacobs is slender, fair man, about 3S years of age. The reputa- tion of being humorous is, he declares, a very undesirable possession.
 People who meet me at tea wait ex- pectantly for my conversation to scln- tiIlate, and 1t never does. If l could be humorous all the time I should write a story a day. As matter ot fact, ones jokes are often born after much tribulation"
 Speaking of humorous writing gen orally, MT. Jacobs said he thought the essence of the art of comedy was know ing what to leave the imagination o1 the reader to fill in.
 He lives at Buckhurst Hill, Lon don, and says that the district is ad- mirably suited for quiet literary work. as he and the milkman are the only males living there who do not go tc the city by early trains. Two of his stories have been drama tized, and he is thinking of writing : play.

who was noted for her hospitality, re- ceived the queen of Portugal, who held reception there.
 Robert Were Fox, jr., appointed consul in 1915, devoted much time to the study of science, and made many discoveries. In 1915 he proved that there was real increase of tempera- ture experienced in descending Cor nish mines fact previously assert ed by tn Saxons miners, but long dis puted by such men as Humboldt and Arago. Among his many valuable inventions was the defector dipping needle, which has been used in every Arctic and Antarctic expeditionsince that timein determining the magnetic condition of the different parts of the earth's surface.
 President Lincoln appointed the third consul, Alfred Fox, in 1863 This gentleman won the highest commend ation from the government for has efficiency and faithfulness during the late war. The coast at Falmouth is very dangerous, and often ships are wrecked there; MT. Fox did all in his power in rendering help to these ship wrecked crews, and for this was high ly rewarded by the heads of the na- tions.
 Howard Fox, F. c. &, the present consul, was appointed by President Grant. He had been acting as depu- ty consul, but in 1874 succeeded his father to the consulship.

ABOUT BIRD's-EYE MAPLE.
Really Cut from the Rock Maple-Ordi-
 nary Trees Much Cheaper.

'The man who said that the veneer known as bird's-eye maplei is produced only by cutting any maple log around the log is very much beside the mark, said a woodworker who makes study of fine woods to New York Sun re- porter
 'Bird's-eye maple and curly maple are both cut only from the logs of the rock maple tree, Acer sacchari1um, in which beautiful lustrous grain is produced by the sinuous course of the fibers.
 '9This tree is not at all the common. hard maple. It is hard maple, but is full of the little gnarls called eyes.
 'Men looking for bird's-eye maple logs go through the standing timber and pick out the bird's-eye maple trees, paying for them from $30to $50 thousand feet in the woods. Ordi- nary hard maple logs are worth only  from six to seven dollars thousand feet.
 '1t would be impossible to cut a piece of veneer with eyes in it from a common hard maplelog, and would be equally impossible to cut bird's-eye maple log, no matter how you cut it, so that it would not show the eyes.
 'When a boy, many years ago, I have split up many a bird's-eye maple log, and stopped to admire the spots distributed all through it. Ordinary maple was then, and possibly is, so cheap that it was used for frewood in many places"

A FAMILY OF CONSULS.
History of an Appointment Held Since
 Washington's Time.

When Horatio Sprague, United States consul at Gibraltar, died few months ago, says the New York Post, 1t was announced that the Sprague family had been longer in the consular service than any other, but recent in- vestigations prove that this distinc- tion belongs to the members of the celebrated house of Fox, who have continuously retained the consulship at Falmouth, England, since the es- tablishment of the United States gov ernment.
 State department records at Wash ington, D. O., show that Robert W. Fox, the first consul, grandfather of the present incumbent, was appoint ed by George Washington, on May 30, 1794, and that since then his descend- ants have controlled the post at Fall mouth against the protests of poli- ticians of both parties, who enter as their plea that the position is held by an Englishman. But sentiment and the fact that the original Fox was ap- pointed by Washington have defeated the aim of the office seekers. The holding of this consulship has always been a trust of honor with the Foxes, since they are a wealthy family, and the office yields but $3o0yearly.
 During the career of Robert Were Fox, the first consul, Falmouth was the port from which mail packets sailed to all parts of the world, which lay to the west and south of the Eng ish channel, and was the scene of great hustle and interest. MT. Fox, while occupying this post, was engaged in extensive mercantile mining, and fish ing enterprises, and by these laid the foundations of the fortune that has been handed down to his descendants. Many noted people were entertained at his home, and in 1928, a few years after the death of Mir. Fox, his widow,

A THIRSTY SCOUT.
Survived Dose of Alkali Water That
 Killed Mules.

A prominent army official tells an interesting story of the late Frank c. Bennett, one of the most famous scouts of the southwest 20 years ago, says the Baltimore Sun.
 Bennett" says the officer in ques- tion, "was forced to follow a trail intothe famous Staked Plain of Texas, and, like many others, lost his way and wandered four days without food or water. He was so long absent that the commander of the detachment from which he had been sent was at last forced to conclude that Bennett, despite all his wonderful knowledge of the country, and his almost super human power of endurance, had been added to the long list of that arid plains victims.
 "We were all sitting around the camp fires discussing the matter one night, when suddenly the attention of one of the group was attracted by a wraith-like figure coming out of the shadows some 30 feet away.
 "SBy the Lord Harry, it's Bennett himselfr shouted one of the men,.
 ssBut as we arose to our feet the shouts of joy froze on our lips-Ben- nett, crazed by thirst, had thrown himself prone before pool of alkali water, from drinking which two mules had died that day, and was tapping it up pwith his tongue hanging out of his mouth and his breath com ing in short, quick gasps like wind ed hound.
 SIt was a dramatic moment. The man had been slowly dying for days for want of water, and now itappeared that water was to cause his death.
 "But regular army officers don't waste time in thinking of the dramat- ic interest of anything. We pullec Bennett away from that pool fighting like half-staryed hyena, and ther we crammed lard down his throat al fast as he could take it.
 "He didn't die. He simply became an animated soap factory for a spac' and then he recovered.
 "We taunted Bennett after that by telling him that his constitution haC been proved to be harder than tha of a mule"
