HE INVENTED "MR JONES"
Scheme of a Chicago Real Estate Broker to
Secure Commissions.
(By the Associated Press.)


Chicago, H., Aug. 27.-The mystery
surrounding the supposed death of phil
etus Jones, millionaire" of Boston, whose
death notice recently appeared in Chicago
newspapers, was cleared up today by the
confession of John A. l. Lee, local real
estate broker, that he had invented "Mr.
JONES' in order to secure real estate
commissions. A ruse was planned by
Lee whereby "Mr. Jones" was to buy eX-
tensively of Chicago property for hotel
purposes. An agreement was drawn up
between the supposed Jones and real
estate owner and a commission was
promised. These promised commissions
were offered as security for loan. Sus-
picon was cast on Lee when the death
notice appeared. In explanation Lee, who
is an old man, said he felt sure he could
have sold the property to some one if
he had had time. 1t is said no prose-

What is the precise age when one is ''too

tous sides of the rock into a narrow
gorge and into running water, up
which one wades, passing under two
fences, until one finally comes to
place where the water comes out OF
the solid rock in two big streams,
which unite below small island,
on which are two affairs, one made
of many trade guns, stuck muzzle
downward into the ground and topped
with skulls, the other being of wood
and supporting more skulls, bones,
feathers, blood, eggs and other votive
offerings to the Ju-Ju, including the
head of the last victim.
over the rock, where is the source
of the water, is roof of human
skulls, with a curtain, the TOP part of
which is composed of clothes and the
lower part of native mating, screen
ing the rock and hanging just short
of the waters edge. The lower por-
tions of the rock, composing the other
sides of this crater, are draped with
mats only. On the left Of the entrance,
centrally situated and opposite the ISL
and, has been hewn out of the rock a
lat-topped ledge for sacrificial pur-
poses.

is full Of tame, gray cOlored fish, about
two feet in length, with long suckers
a most bizarre appearance as they
glide noiselessly through the clear wa
ter in the dim light OF this charnel
house of fetish lore, which is rooted
with densely intertwined creepers.
These fish are regarded as sacred.
On the left of the exit lies another
pile of human skulls and other relics
of Ju-Ju rites, and on the right the

1t is impossible at present to get
full and accurate details from the peo-
pie Of the ritual which has been in
vogue for centuries in this gloomy
cave of savage superstition-first, be-
cause they are afraid and, second,
because the priests have yet to be cap
tured. Everything which is sacrificed
such as cattle, goats, fowls, etc, must
be white.
The High Priest of the oracle, who, it
appears, is swathed in clothes, is usu-
ally out of sight and addresses the pill
grims in impressive monotone having
previously been made cognizant of
every detail concerning theNapplicants
and their disputes by means of a sort
of fetish F'reemasonry, which certainly
extends as far as the limits of South
ern Nigeria. The conducting of a Yis-
itOr to the Ju-Ju is usually a some
what lengthy process, and when he ar
rives in its proximity he is led by a
crcuitous route and finally marched
in backward. 1t would seem to be
fair estimate to put the number of
pilgrims down at about 500 annually,
all of whom pay dearly for the advice
or decree which is vouchsafed to them
Probably the number of human sac
rifices does not reach a total of fifty
per annum, while about 200 people are
sold into slavery and the remainder
are allowed to go away free.
