GROWING DEMAND FOR RUBBER
Great Increase in Importations in Past
TWENTY Years

For the past twenty years the demand
for crude India rubber in the United States
has constantly grown. The value of fhe
importations in 1884 amounted to $40. 1n4
$50, and weighed 23672 563 pounds while
In 1904 there were 81 $50, 75S pounds valued
at $44,417,230, imported. This increase in
the value of rubber imported is due in part.
however, to an advance in price, the aver
age value per pound of the imports of
crude rubber Qncluding guttapercha) hay-
ing been in 1884 43 cents. and in 1904 70
cents. ' ~
Inc hgures given are supplied by the
bureau of statistics of the Department of
commerce and Labor, which office further
says, on the subject, that comparison of
the 1mportations of rubber in 1904 with
those of 1884 suggests not only the grow
ing demand in the United States for this
article, put the recognition of the import

1901, however, there We're not only crude
rubber and suttapercha, but also abou.
fifteen million pounds of ''gutta joolatong"
or East Indian gum, product of Borneo
which in certain lines of manufactures Is
utilized instead of India rubber; and in adj
dltlon to this sixteen million pounds of old

ture. Thus it would appear that the rap
Idly growing demand for rubber and the
consequent danger that 1t may in time ex-
facturers and others engaged in this in
oustry the Importance of outstanding of re-
sources as far as possible
Brazil supplies the largest share of the
rubber coming to the United States, moro
than "a 100000 pounds of the total importa@
tons of 1904 coming from that country
Central America and Mexico also do a large
share of the trade, while Colombia. Ecuador
and the British East Indies send a great
quantity.
The rapid increase in the use of this
staple and Its importance in our manufac-
turing industries is also illustrated by the
census figures of manufactures, which show
mat the number of establishments manu-
featuring rubber and elastic goods has in
creased from 90 in 1880 to $50 in 1900: the
capital employed, from $6,OOO,O coo in 1880 to
s590o0oOO In 1900; the cost of materials
used from 100000 in 1880 to $50, 900 O00
IN 1860; and the value of products. from
more than $l3O00,O00 in 1880 to so, 800 coo in
800. Practically all of this large manufac-
lure Is absorbed by the home market the
exports or rubber manufactures having
amounted to only 81, 435 $50 in the fiscal year
1904, While the imports of manufactures of
$1,157,O42.

HoCH's TRIUMPHAL DEPARTURE
Sensational Women Crowd to See Him
Off for Chicago.

Johann Hoch, described as Chicago's
Bluebeard and the husband Of some forty
wives, started from New York for Chicago
yesterday. Koch waived eXtradition. The
detectives hustled him over to the Lacka-
wanna railroad station in Hoboken so that
he wouldn't miss the :45 train
Hoch enjoys the notoriety he is getting
A crowd of 800 persons fought to get a look
at him. "Ain't 1 dandy?' he said. Pm
famous vhat?"
I'm a first-class, heightened gentleman
he told the detectives, land 1 amt no
loafer."
Hoch had to dodge to get away from a
line of cameras, but when finally cornered
he threw up his hands and yelled:
Don't shoot, l surrender
About fifty women Were so anxious to see
the attractive man that they crowded
against the car he was in, and a few of
them tried to get their faces up against the
window pane. Hoch lifted the window
"Rubbernecks, ach! Rubbernecks' he
shouted. The women We're satisfied, for
when he stuck his head out of the window
they got a better look at him. A young
woman special commissioner" from a Chi
cago paper accompanied him back.
Hoch will be held in Chicago pending the
coroner'S inquest the death of Mrs.
Bertha Wolker-Hoch, in Nwhose stomach
arsenic has been found. 1t is said that the
police will seek Hoch's indictment on the
charge of murder Immediately upon the
converting of the next grand jury.

at the belt and is cut with very pro-
nounced flare. A stiff satin cording
around the bottom serves to hold the skirt
out On the under side Of the satin foun-
dation, which is set over lining OF pale
mauye taffeta, is a cluster of fine taneta
ruchings. The suggestion of crinoline in
the costume is really due to these little
double ruffies, which are much prettier
and far less unyielding than genuine
crinoline.
Upon the petticoat three graduated
f1ounces of real duchesse lace are draped
and wherever the lace is caught up in a
small festoon tiny bunch of velvet pam
sizes is caught to the satin foundation.
The flowers are shaded from deep purple
to pale mauve and they look extremely
smart and effective against the flmy lace,
which shows CLEANS of paler lavender
through its meshes. At the back the lace
spreads out into a full and moderately
long train. The idea of the festoons and
pansy trimming is maintained. instead of
covering the skirt, as they did in Empress
Eugenie's time, with full court train of
purple velvet embroidered with gold.
The bodice is tight fitting and has the
mauve satin draped over it slightly FULL
so that it forms deep point in front. The
back is shirred directly down the center
and closes inviSibly instead of being laced
as they used to be.
Duchesse lace is becomingly draped over
the shoulders and around the decolletage.
There is a finish of white moussellne roios
on the upper edge of the decOllete bodice
and clusters of pansies are disposed at the
shoulders, toward the front, over the bust
and in the back. At these points the lace
is drawn up in festoon to carry out the
scheme OF the skirt.
From under the full frill of lace over the
arm a little of the upper sleeve puffs shows.
The entire sleeve is made Of series OF

For on Tuesday night President Roose-
welt will be the dinner guest of the Hum
garan club, of which Marcus Braun IS
president.
Mr.. Roosevelt, with true democratic
spirit, is coming to dine with the common
people, said Mr.. Braun yesterday. And
all the liberty-loving former sons of Hun
gary, now good Americans. echo: "Roose-
welt keeps his word.
For as long ago as when Theodore Roose-
welt was police commissioner of this city
Marcus Braun said to him:
when you are President of the United
States Mr. Commissioner. the club VIII IN
yite YOU to a humble dinner"
when / am President of the United
States / will dine with you." said the CONF
missioner.
So he will next Tuesday, and with that
iyory-iIlumined smile that always adds
grace to the word Mr.. Roosevelt has said
he will be delighted to be with them.
But the dinner will not be humble. The
dining-room of the Cafe Liberty and of
Little Hungary" next door, have been
knocked into one to make fitting ban-
QUOT hall The dinner will cost $40 plate,
and there will be $50 feasters.
There will be only one speech. Mr.. Braun
will introduce the President. Mr.. Roose-
Welt will address his hosts. perhaps to the
point that if Bat Masterson had been
in his prime in 1910 Kossuth would have
made him commander-in-chefo of the Hun
garian revolutionists.

the pink tint of the arm gives it a pref

ancient style is SO rev as to anticipate

The ornaments which may be worn with

beauty and quantity, always bearing in
mind that too many jewels are vulgar.
But the wearer may safely choose a dia-

Chenille trimmings are IN vogue again
and many evening as well as handsome
reception toilets are deliberately adorned
with chenille bands and insertions. Hats,
too, show the influence of the revival, for
a number of early spring models owe their
charm to the manner in which chenille to
match the color of the straw, silk or fancy
