HUMAN HAIR FROM JAPAN.
Imported in Large Quantities for
Negro Wigs.

Imports of human hair form Japan
are said to have increased very con-
siderably since the beginning of the
war between Japan and Russia. This
Is accounted for by the fact, according
to a Washington dispatch, that the
Japanese women are selling their hair
to raise money for the war. The large
demand for japanese hair in this coun-
try, it is explained, comes from the
dealers who make a speciality OF sup
plying the hair stores patronized by
negro women who want wigs of long,
straight black hair Washington, Bal
timore, Philadelphia and New Orleans
are said to be the principal retail mar
kets for wigs of Japanese hair.

TO LOCATE FRACTURES.
Use Proposed by a Chicago Sur
geon for Tuning Forks.

A very simple method Of locating
fractures in bones, particularly in long
ones, By the aid of q tuning fork, "
proposed by a Chi ago surgeon, sayS
ONllier's Weekly.
A stethoscope Is placed over the bone
as near as possible to the point of sus-
pected fracture and on the side where
the skin Is thinnest. Then a vibrating
tuning fork is placed against the flesh
near the bone, but on the other side Of
the fracture If possible. If the bone is
continuous, a distinct clear sound will
be heard in the stethoscOpe, but if the
break is between the two, this sound
will be faint and irregular, as the Vi
brations will not be transmitted past
the break
OF course this method depends upon
the fact that hard bone is an excellent
conductor of vibration. while tissue is
not Perhaps even a more valuable
application of this idea would be In
finding out when break has knitted
properly, for when the joining is again
perfect the sound will be as clear as
that of an unbroken bone.

Union Label Decision.

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. 6.-Judge
o. Wheeler of the Superior Court has
granted an injunction restraining G..
H. Merritt e. Son of Danbury from
using a label, which is alleged to be
an infringement upon the label OF the
United Hatters of North America. The
decision is sweeping in Its effect, the
labor organization being given
standing before the court and every
contention upheld. The matter of
contract between the unions and EN-
ployers is held to be legal. One OF the
salient features Of the decision is the
statement that strikes and their con-
comitants are not as Injurious as some
of the court decisions; the latter be-
Ing permanent in their effect while
the strike and disorder are ephemeral.

Paris. Aug. 9.-Before the Interna-
tional Miners Congress. which opened
here yesterday. John Mitchell said
our primary object in coming TO
Europe was to obtain information re-
garding existing conditions. The
newspapers Of the United States have
often painted the conditions prevailing
among the laborers OF Europe ms de-
plorable. After what we have seen we
are certain that these newspapers ex-
aggerated nothing. and all that they
have printed falls far short OF tho
truth. In Europe the life Of the worker
is held too cheap. while in the United
States the workingman. from every
point of view. lives under better con-
dItions."
Mr.. Mitchell's address was received
with enthusiastic applause.

The Official corrected time made by
the Ohio on her trial trip was 1887

The Ohio will be accepted by the
government. as she proved herself a

Former Victor Marshal Killed.

Denver, Aug. michael w. O'Con-
nell. former marshal OF Victor Colo
RADIO. who was released only a few
days ago on $4,000 bail from the
"bullpen" in Victor. came to his death
suddenly in Denver last evening. He
fell head foremost from a window on
the fourth floor Of the Markham hotel.
Death came instantaneously, for his
skull was crushed like an egg. A ru-
NOR that he had been attacked and
hurled from the window by murder
ers was circulated. but Chief of Po-
lice Delaney. who conducted a thor
ough examination into the circum-
stances, discovered no evidence of
murder. 1t is generally believed by
all who investigated the case that
O'Connell committed suicide.
O'Connell. who arrived in Denver
from Pueblo Friday afternoon, accom-
panied by his nearest friend, John
Horrigan, registered at the Markham
Friday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, and
both men were assigned to the same
room on the third floor. O'Connell
was in a respondent frame of mind
and weak physically. In fact. he was
in such condition that his friends
thought II wise to keep a constant
watch upon him.
Many OF the friends and acquaint-
ances OF OConnell-and he was known
to thousands in Victor, Cripple Creek
and Leadville-on first hearing of his
death were under the impression that
1t must have been the work OF his enc
mics. Chief Delaney. Captain Conner
and three detectives, however. made q
very close investigation. Not one of
them could find any reasonable ground
for the murder theory.
