A NEW INVENTION.
A L Hood, Manager Of the New
IBERIA Telephone Exchange,
a Modern Edison.

But few Of our people who every
day meet, in business or social way,
the quiet and gentlemaniy manager OF
the New Iberia Telephone Exchange,
ever imagined him to be an inventive
genius. But the fact remains that he
is. and one of no small calabre, as Is
demonstrated by recent invention OF
his that promises to place his name
along side those OF the prominent mas
ters OF electrical inventions. both in
fame and fortune. Mr.. Hood has in :
vented headlight that can be at
tached to the front strap OF bride
or shafts OF buggy that Will throw
a bright light distance of fully 90
feet wide and 800 feet Ill advance Of a
moving horse or vehicle. 1t can like
wise be attached to a sailboat or
launch, or to the bride of a saddle
horse with the storage batteries placed
in the saddle pockets. The power is
from dry cell or storage batteries
with sufficient generation to operate
an eight or sixteen candle power light
for 300 hours. Mr.. Hood has given
exhibitions on dark nights in company
With several OF our business men who
pronounce the invention success in
every particular. He attached the
light 10 horse who becomes almost
in the presence of an
or automobile aud it did not
affect him any more than did the arc
or 1ncandescent light ang1ng over
the streets. 1t will be boon for
and others whose profess
SONS require muchtravel at night. Mr..
E. r Chiyers will be associated with
Mr.. Hood in the manufacture of the
new light.

The passage of the above bill opens
up new source of revenue for the
Louisiana planter. From former lab
oratory experiments it has been
demonstrated that denatured alcohol
can be distilled from the waste cane.
and molasses that year afrer year is
thrown away as the market price OF
the article would not justify the plan
ter in buying barrels or casks in which
to ship to market. The Standard Oil
trust fought the passage Of the bill as
It's enactment meant competition with
their gasoline trade. But again it is
recorded of congress: They represent
the masses occasionally.

EMIGRANTS BY CATTLESHIP.
District Attorney is Investigating an
Employment Office.

NEW YORK, December 27-The district
attorneys office has begun an investiga-
ton of the methods of certain employment
agencies which send back to Europe immi-
grants who get tired of conditions here
The investigation was prompted by infor-
nation which the Women's Municipal
League gave to the district attorney. As
sistant District Attorney Whiteside, after
going over the evidence, obtained yester-
day from Magistrate Crane, in the Tombs
police court, summonses for men who run
these agencies
1t seems that the Women's Municipal
League has had some dispute with the
commissioner of licenses, Mr.. Bogart as to
how the law relating to the management of
employment agencies should be enforced
From what the district attorney has learned
some of the agencies undertake for SO, SIS
or $50, to send a man a cattle boat from
this city to Boston, and thence to Liverpool
and to his destination. Complaints have
been made that When the passenger got to
Liverpool he was stranded, and in addition
that he had to work long hours on the cat
tie boat going over. There was some scheme
by which an agency was supposed to look
after the traveller at Liverpool, but when he
got there the agency disowned the contract.
SummonSes We're issued for l. Abra hmson
at 81 Canal street; Max Hornung manager
of the New Star shipping Office. at 13 Suf-
folk street; Miller & Frank, in I'd street,
and others.

JAPAN'S MILITARY PLANS.
Reports of Large Increase in the
Army and NAVY

VICTORIA, B. c., December 27.-Accord-
ing to advices brought here by the steamer
Tosu Maru, the military section of the Jap
anese government intends to increase the
army until the standing forces number nine
teen divisions, six more than before the
war with Russia. The program also calls
for increases in naval equipments by an ex-
penditure of $23. 100000 over last year.
1t has also been agreed that 500, 900, 900
be appropriated in installments as special
expenditures for new ships and restoration
of the present feet and ornaments to an
efficient state. An estimate of S4OO 600 to
defray the expenses of dispatching a squad
ron including the cruisers Tsukuba and
Chtese to the United States next summer
will be asked for.
1t is undecided Yet whether Admiral Togo
will be in command of the squadron. There
is some opposition in naval circles to that
course, but popular clamor may prevail, in
which case the naval hero will be the fea-
ture of japanese demonstration in Amer
lean waters.

PERISHED IN DESERT.
Bones of Grindell and Exploring
PARTY Tell the Story

DOUGLAS. Ariz., December 21-Pros-
pectors arriving yesterday from lower Cali
fornia report the finding of the remains
of Thomas Grindell and his party, whose
disappearance two years ago became an
international incident, which never had
been solved. Edward Grindell may now
collect the insurance on his brothers life
This and a much larger sum have been
spent in the last two years in Quitting
expeditions in the hope of recovering the
dead mans body. Not until Monday was
this accomplished, all hope of its recov-
cry having been abandoned for more than
year.
In the burning heart of the desert a
party of prospectors well prepared for
the desolation they courted came Irpon
the heap of bleached bones which marx ed
the battle lost to thirst and to the sun by
Grindell and his half. dozen daring com
panions. Faded letters. indistinct yet legi-
Bile, made the identification possible.
Grindell was the principal of the Doug
las city schools. He took a party to ex-
plore the Tiburon Islands in June 1907 The
one man of the party who didn't famish
made the salt sea water sweet with a small
atomizer. Months afterward, half insane
and without clothing. he reappeared
among men, as startling apparition as
one come from the tomb. All of his eff
forts to lead men to the spot where he

Prof. E. P Grindell, at the head of an
expedition. had conducted a search for
his brother ever since he was reported
missing. In November. 1905, the party came
across the trappings of Harry r. Miller
and Capt. Gus Olinder, book on nautical
science which belonged to 'OIinder and
pair of dried human hands. which may
have been those Of one of the men, The
charred remains of a huge feast and. fire

CHINA WILL APPEAL.
Aid Wanted to Relieve Sufferers From
Famine

VICTORIA, b. c., December 27-Ad-
vices were received by the steamship Tosu
Maru that China had decided TO appeal to
Europe and America for 81 $50 600. for re-
lief of famine sufferers in central China,
where 100000 Chinese are faced with
starvation this winter. People, rnaddened
by hunger. reported to be pillaging
yamens of officials.
A foreigner who has reached Shanghai
from the famine stricken district says that
men and women, naked excepting for
few rags around their loins, are seen by
the roadside starving with naked children
at their breasts. Refugees We're met who
had tramped from Human. The famine
threatens to equal the appalling one of
thirty years ago, which devastated the
northern provinces of China and destroyed
hundreds of thousands of people. From
one point the outlook is worse than then,
as the district is now more thckly popu-
lated.
