GIRLS SCREAMS DRAW CROWD.
When the Ingebrands Get Home From
Church Their Mute son Is Arrested.

Persons living in West l2oth street. be-
tween Amsterdam avenue and Broadway,
heard a woman screaming in the house at
5O2 shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing This is the residence of John Inge-
brand, a well-to-do German baker
The screams were heard internationally
for an hour or more and crowd Of 100
persons gathered in front of the house
The front door was locked The cries
seemed to be coming from the back of the
house and two young men in the crowd
had tried TO get in at the back door when
Mr. and Mrs. Ingebrand returned from
church.
That was about noon. A policeman had
arrived then and he went into the house
In the crowd was Michael Nehring. a black
smith who lives at 81 Lawrence street, about
a block away. When the report came
from the house that a servant girl had gone
crazy inside and had broken lot of dishes
and furniture, Nehring went in. A friend
of his wife. Caroline Linderman. worked in
the house. He reappeared at the door with
the girl Her hair was disheveled and she
staggered. About that time an ambulance
from the j. Hood Wright Hospital drove
up and the girl was taken to Nehriug's
home Those who inquired at the Inge-
brand house were told that the kitchen was
badly wrecked and that furniture and
DTlc-a-prac In OtheT parts OF the mouse
were broken. The girl, it was said was in
the kitchen on the floor when the policeman
first saw her.
Later in the afternoon Ingebrand's son
John who is "a va old and deaf and
dumb. was arrested ny the police of the
West 125th street police station as "a sus-
picious person" The police said that they
understood from persons at the Ingebrand
house that the son. John, whom they had
arrested. was not in the house when the
servant was screaming, When asked why
they had arrested him they shut up.
DR.. Rogers OF the J. H cd VII 'ht Hos
pital said that the examination which he
made gave negative results and DR. NJ
c. O'Bren Of 1871 West 122d street. who also
examined the girl could not say that
any crime had been committed. The son
was bailed out by his father.

japanese Paper Plant.

Secretary Wilson'S men are working
to introduce O sort of vegetable
leather. 1t is in reality a paper plant,
as much SO as the papyrus plant of
ancient Egypt, but its uses are mani
fold, ranging all the way from dainty
note paper to waterproof garments
and which are really waterproof
under the severest tests-and leather
pocketbooks which outwear real
leather. The plant is a pretty little
shrub called in Japanese "mitsumata,"
and it is it's inner bark which is
converted to use. The plant grows in
the mountains of Japan, and Explorer
Fairchild, of the Department of Ag-
riculture, believes that it will thrive
over a large part of the Appalachian
range and other similar sections Of the
United States.
In Japan pipe cases and tobacco
pouches are manufactured from the
material, as well as a kind of wall
paper, which is already becoming fash
ionable in America. Such wall papers
of vegetable leather are turned out in
bautiful designs for wall and ceiling
decorations, being stamped and mod
eled by hand in the most artistic pat
terms. 1t would seem that Americans
have a great deal to learn from the
Japanese about paper-m making. Already
large quantities of another kind of
paper obtained from the same plant
are imported for use as legal docu-
ments, diplomas, deeds and bonds.
There are at least eight other plants
from which the subjects of the Mi
kado obtain paper stuff, while this
country depends for such material up
on linen. Mr.. Fairchild, who has made
a special study of this subject, says
that it Is not pleasant to think that the
brilliant white note paper which a wo-
man uses may have nm 1T part of the
filthy garment of some Egyptian fellah
saved by a ragpicker from the gutter,
yet it is fact that hundreds of tons
Of Egyptian rags are fetched every
year to the United States to supply
the paper mills. At Mannheim on the
Rhine the American importers have
picking houses, where rags are col
lected from all over Europe (the
disease infected levant not excepted,
and where women and children work
with wet sponges tied over their
mouths sorting the filthy scraps for
shipment to New York. The best
papers are made of these vile rags.
Papers made from the inner bark of
plants, like the "mitsumata,' are Gre
alton of the Orient. They are softer,
silkier, tougher and lighter than Amer
ican-made papers. If wet they lose
their strength. like tissue paper, but
on drying regain it.

This part of Virginia is full Of land
marks of the great civil strife. Many
old-fashioned houses, with their great
outside stone chimneys, tell their own
tales Of antebellum days when tobacco
was king in Virginia, and when peace
reigned in the great state which was
the Mother of Presidents. Peace again
prevails over Virginia and she is now
taking on second prosperity. The
Shenandoah Valley, as a whole, is rich

Nesting Among the Mountains.
The valley nestles between the Man
suction spur of mountains to the west
and the Blue Ridge of the Alleghanies
to the east. It grows great quantities
of corn and wheat; some sheep and
cattle are raised and considerable
fruit. "The horticultural possibilities of
this section of Virginia are wonderful

partment of Agriculture to me, recent

a Pekln duck farm with $4,000 birds,
which produced, it is claimed, $4,000

about 70 or rs cents bushel to raise.
This includes seeding the field with

this increase has been about $6O,OO0OvJ,
