JOHN conFIELD DEAD.
A Formerly Well-known OIL Sales.
of Lancaster Commits
Suicide.
Lancaster Gazette.l

The community was shocked
to-day when it was learned that
John Cornfield had taken his own
life.
Saturday morning he was about
as usual greeting his friends pleas
antly. He went into the Mithoff
House bar abont IL o'clock, where
he met number of acquaintance
and exchanged with them the
Christmas Greetings. Leaving
them he went over to the toilet
rooms of the hotel. Some min
utes later he returned to the bar
room and sat down back of the
stove. His presence was not not
ed until the attention of Mr..
Harry Slisher was attracted by
his stertorous breathing. 1t was
then discovered that he had taken
poison. By his side was a vial
labelled "carbolic acid" Anti
dotes were at once administered
and DR.. Goss was summoned.
Everything possible was done for
him but of little avail. The suf-
fering man was placed in hack
and started for his home, but it
was found that he was dying and
the carriage was stopped at the
city hall, where he was carried
into the Mayors office. In few
minutes death ended his suffering.
1t Is explained that seeing that he
would die before his home could
be reached it was thought best to
take him to the city building for
fear of the effect upon his family
of the unannounced shock which
would be occasioned by the taking
of the corpse to the home.
Later the remains were moved
to the Office of Squire Parido in
the city hall basement, where they
were reviewed by Coroner ely.
Subsequently they were removed
TO the late home of the deceased
on High street.
Mr.. Cornfield in early life was
at the old Talmadge
House and subsequently became
a molder at the Eagle Machine
Company, where he was employed
for many years. Later he be-
come a travelling salesman. for
the Standard Oil company and
was notably successful in his
business affairs. He married a
of the late Judge Virgil
E. Shaw, who, with their one
shild, died in few years. Later
he married Mary e. Smith, a
most estimable lady of this city,
who, with their two children,
Russell and Kathleen, survive
him.
Some years ago Mr.. Cornfeld
became addicted to the use OF
irugs and his mind became un-

Move for Better Telegraph Service
for Coast

TOT IOdSI.
Seattle, Oct. 31.-Printed circulars
are to be issued by the local Manu-
facturers' Association, and sent to ev-
cry chamber of commerce organization
and affiliated body of business men in
the country, asking for their coopera-
ton in securing reduced night tele-
graph tolls for Seattle and the Western
cities.
This action was taken during the
regular business meeting following the
banquet held at the Washington hotel,
and followed an unsatisfactory report
from committee which had taken
the matter up with the local telegraph
officials.
In effect this committee reported
that it had been unable to secure any
satisfactory answer to their petition.
Inasmuch as the East enjoys reduced
night rates, it was urged that the
Northwestern cities should be granted
the same privilege. This question hes
been taken up before in the city, but
nothing definite ever resulted. Now
it is determined to enlist the aid Of ev-
cry commercial organization tbroAgh-
out the United States.

GOING HONE TO FIGHT.
MANY Local japanese Returning to
Native Land.


Native Land.
Seattle. Oct. 31.-Hundreds of local
Japanese from Seattle and surrounding
towns and country districts are prepar-
ing to return to their native land. The
majority of them go to Victoria by way
of this city, and yesterday fifty or six
ty passed through on, the way to their
native land, from which they will i'm
mediately join the troops at the front.
Many of these men before coming to
America belonged to branch OF the
service similar to the national guard of
this country, called the reserve. Their
names and addresses are on file with
the military authorities in Japan, and
in time of necessity, such as the pres
ent, communications are sent request
ing them to return and take up arms in
defense of the land of their nativity.
The present activity is due to the
issuance of the third reserve call, and,
although there is no law to compel
them, with scarcely an exception the
men called upon are responding.
At the local japanese consulate 1t
was stated that these calls issued to
the men did not come through that
Office, but were sent to the men direct.
Just what number of men would leave
Washington was not known, but it was
stated that in all probability the next
few weeks would witness the departure
of several hundred.

Baldwin AirShip Makes Successful
Flight.
St. Louis, Nov. 2.-After circling
in every direction at a height of 1900
feet above the Cascades, in sight of
thousands of cheering, enthusiastic
spectators on the worlds fair grounds,
A. Roy Knabenshue, of Toledo, in
command of the airship California Ar
row, returned to the place from which
he had started over the same course
that he had come, covering the three
miles and half of the round trip un-
der his own power and demonstrating
the claims of the inventor, Capt.
Thomas s. Baldwin. of San Francisco,
that the California Arrow is not only
dirigible but that it can make Roadway
against moderate breeze.
Knabenshue started from the aero
nautic concourse at 1897 p. M, and re-
turned after his remarkable flight at
4:O5 D. m. On the return trip the air
ship sailed slowly over the exact spot
from which it had arisen % minutes
previously and glided about 100 feet
further west, where it settled grace
fully to the ground. The descent OF
the Arrow was the signal for demon
stration the equal of which has not
been seen since the wheels of the

the shoulders of shouting men. Hats
were thrown into the air, and when
Kna benshue called for three cheers for
his home town they were given with a
will, and another round followed for
Knabenshue and Baldwin.

at $l,529,667.
Tacoma, Oct. 31.-Carrying the
most valuable cargo that was ever sent
from the Pacific coast, the British
steamship Telemachus, of the Blue
Funnel feet, sailed from Tacoma yes
terday. Her destination is Liverpool,
via Japan, China, East Indies, the
Suez canal and the Mediterranean, the
longest steamship route in the world.
In her immense hold the Telemachus
has 10, 900 tons Of freight, valued at
$1,529, 667. In all this great amount
of merchandise there is not one pound
of contraband, all offers of this char
acter having been refused.
The Telemachus arrived on Puget
sound about ten days ago. She dis
charged cargo at Victoria, Vancouver
and Seattle, arriving at Tacoma Sun
day, since which time most of her out
ward freight has been loaded. The
liner was late in reaching this port,
but she was given unusually quick dis
patch, considering the size of her car
60, and sailed on time.

WHEAT EXPORTS.
Believed They Will Be Smaller Than
for Years.

tOU uCdTS.
Washington, Oct. 31.-Wheat ex.
ports from the United States seem like.
ly to reach, in the current year. their
lowest point in the history of the ex.
port trade for many years. Figures
prepared by the Department. of com.
MERGE and labor through its bureau of
statistics show exports during the nine
months ending with Septembe of less
than 100000 bushels, as against
$1,000, 900 bushels in the correspond
ing months of 1908, 96, O0O,O 900 in the
corresponding months of 1902, and
139 900, 900 bushels in the correspond
ing months of 1901. Thus the exporta-
ton of wheat in the nine months end
ing with September is but one-fifth
that Of the corresponding months of
1908, about one-tenth that of the cor
responding months of 1902 and but
one,fourteenth as much as that of the
corresponding months of 1901.
Even the -four exports are beginning
to show the effect of the great shortage

to only 100000, speaking in round
numbers, against f3,5OO,OOO in the
corresponding months of 1908, and
over 100000 in the corresponding

less readily affected by shortage of
wheat than are those of wheat itself.

RUBBER pROBLEn.
Demand Steadily Increases, While
Supply Barely Holds it's Own.

Washington, Oct. 31.-The govern.
ment has issued bulletin upon the
sbuject of rubber gathering in the
Philippines. 1t is known that in some
of the southern islands the Hevea or
Para rubber tree grows as we'll as it
does upon the Amazon and it's tribu-
taries, and in all the islands the Cas-
tilloa, or Mexican, rubber tree can be
made to grow.
This is a matter of Importance to
the Philippines and of utmost interest
to American trade in general. 1t is es-
peccially interesting to know that the
Hevea tree can be raised. This is by
far the most valuable of all rubber
trees, and the earth is being gone over
to find territory in which it will flour
ish. From it comes the highest grade
of India rubber, Para, which has for
many months sold uncleaned in the
New York market at mere than dol
lar pound. The supply of this rub
Der, and, in fact, of all rubber, is new
er up to the demand. The demand is
increasing in jumps, while the supply

With the multiplied demand for rub
Der tires, the increase in the use of
rubber for making footwear, the use
of rubber as floor covering, the sub
stitution of rubber fire hose for leather
or canvas hose, the invention of rub
Der sponges, and the variety of new
uses for hard rubber, the demand has
become very great.
In Africa as we'll as in South Amer
lea the supply is falling off, and it is
evident that there is only one solution
to the rubber problem. and that is the
rubber plantation. There must be es-
tablished by some method steady
supply Of rubber if there is to be safe
ty for the manufacturer or stability in
business. Crude rubber must be pro-
duced as raw cotton or sugar is pro.
duced. 1t must be grown systematic
ally and gathered Systematically, that
there may be a definite basis of opera
ton. That is the reason the isthmus
of Tehuantepec is being covered with
rubber plantations and experiments are
being made in Cuba, the Philippines
and other Pacific islands.

To Cure Sucking Cows.

some of them are complex, while with
others the animal soon learns how to

the cow and ring is fastened in 1t
