found substitute for human hair. 1t
was discovered incidentally in a long
quest for some method for making arti-
fetal silk After $50 years of failure a
French and German chemist have
solved the artificial silk problem, and
the department of commerce and labor
is informed that factories are soon to
be started in the United States for max
ing silk from collodion. The same fac
tories will make hair for wigs. scratch
es, switches, and other comforts Of

In the matter of hair for the head,
nature has not been able to keep up with
art. The collodion-spun hair is lighter.
softer, cheaper and altogether better
than hair cropped from the human head.
The inventors Of the artificial silk
process are DR.. Lehner, of Augsburg.
and Count Hilarirede Chardonnet, OF
Paris. Two factories are running in
Germany, two in Switzerland and one
at Besancon, in France, turning out the
product, of which one of the German
factories sold the United States $138,31e
worth last year.
CellulOse is the basis of the artificial
silk, and this is obtained generally
from carded cotton, although it may
also be obtained from corn and other
grains. After being subjected to Ger.

as the silk worm spins to make its coc-

the first intimation of extensive land
frauds reached the ear of Secretary
Hitchcock, and the circumstances con-
nected Herewith are of rather singu-
lar character. It has been said that
it takes thief to catch thief, and
strange enough the first information
of frauds in the land entries was given
by man who had been in the employ
of land.grabbers, and who was threat
ening to expose the frauds in order to
enforce the payment Of hush money.
He sent letter after letter to the gen

time commissioner. ignored the letters.

SOME CLEVER DETECTIVE WORK DONE
BY w. j. BURNS.
He Has Entrapped Culprits Both High and Low by His
Carefully Laid Plans-Ho>v the Schemes of the
Land Grabbers Worked--Some
Startling Evidence.

Washington.-The story of the big
land frauds of the west when all told
is one OF the most startling and inter-
esting of modern annals.
1t is gigantic conspiracy, detec-
tive story and tremendous legal bat
tie all in one.
The conspiracy reaches back through
the years, involves hundreds of thous-
ands of acres of the finest public lands
in Arizona, California, Oregon and 9TH
er states, and includes among it's long
chain of conspirators, men prominent
in state and nation, government Off
Gals and employees. and wealthy cor
pOratiOnS, including at least one rail-
road.
The detective story equals any of the
Sherlock Holmes variety in the keen
ness and nicely with which the faint
est clews have been followed up, mys-
ter!es unraveled and the guilty, high
and low. at last cornered, in spite of
unlimited power and influence and
loads of money used to block investi-
cation and checkmate the detectives.
The tremendous legal battle begun
some time ago when sufficient evidence
was secured to start court proceedings
and which is still raging, is q conflict
of giants. The government has en-
ployed the finest legal talent to be had
to prosecute the cases and the men
on trial, and to be tried. are sparing
no efforts or money in trying to escape
conviction. 1t is fight every inch of

Investigation, news items in the papers
of the country have told of the devel.
opments in the case. Occasionally the
public has oeen startled by the name
of some prominent man being connect
ed with the frauds, as was especially
the case when Senator Mitchell was in
dicted on the charge of accepting a
bride in connection with some of the
land cases, and his now famous, burn
this letter." was made public.
But at best the public has been able
to obtain only very incomplete and
confused idea of the case as whole,
startling boldness of the plot and the
extent of the operations of unscrupu-
lous men.
One Gigantic, Systematic Plot.
First of all we want to remember
that the land frauds are not an aggre-
cation of isolated cases, Independent of
each other in methods and purpose,
but are really one gigantic, deep-laid
and systematic plot which was being
persistently and successfully carried
on in Arizona, California. Oregon and
other western states by men OF wealth
and influence who had lust for the
public domain.
Lawson. in his revelations of Wall
street methods, speaks of '.the SYSTEM %
but the New York money kings in
their alleged raids on the stock mar
kets and the pocketbooks of the small
investors never worked a more thor
oughly organized system than have the
land-grabbers of the west. First. we
have the conspirators, bold, rapacious,
unprincipled, Unsuitable. Next were
the vast tracts of valuable government
land as stake for which these con-
spirators were ready to play, and judg-
ing from the hundreds of thousands Of
acres of land fraudulently obtained up
to the time the investigations were be-
gun the stake was an elastic one. which
ultimately was to include millions. And
