That every bit Of food no matter what it's

the drinking water Is secured hundreds Of
miles away from clear mountain streams or

are accustomed to the best of things edible
In their homes, and for the dining car serv-
Ice to fall below the highest standard OF

1t flies, but also because 1t makes possible

The Increase In flyer luxuries SO to speak
has been in direct proportion to the increase
in flyer speed. One of the latest additions
to the list Of luxuries is the train gymna-

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, March 24.-There has just been
concluded at Munich one Of the most In
tricate murder trials that the German po-
lice have ever been called upon to deal
with. A retired Hamburg tradesman named
Cramm two years ago went to Munich and
lived with a married couple named Shell
haus. In the spring of 1904 Cramm sud
denly disappeared. At first no particular
notice was taken of this, as IL was sup
posed, of course, that he had returned to
Hamburg. Later, however, an anonymous
letter was received by the police to the eff
feet that Cramm's landlord and his wife
had murdered him In order to obtain money
which they knew was in his possession.
The police then kept watch on the couple,
with the result that they found in the house
10000 In paper money, besides many valu-
able articles which the couple could not
possibly have purchased for themselves out
Of the small pension which Shellhaus re-
ceiyed from the government as a retired
civil servant. Further inquiries revealed
the fact that Shellhaus had bought. large
quantities of cyanide, which was afterward
found in the house The police came to
the conclusion that Cramm had been killed
by the couple and that the body was after
ward cut up and burned In small sections,
several portions being taken by Shellhaus
considerable distance before being dis
posed OF. With this end in view before
numbering Cramm they had induced him to
purchase motor car. The trial has
aroused sensational interest in Germany,
especially as no absolute proof exists
against the couple, and no trace of the
body has been discovered.
Finally, however. amid the greatest ex-
element, verdict of murder was re-
turned against the two Shellhauses, but an

MANY TREASURES.
Animals Among Gifts to the Prince Of
Wales.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. March 24-In the course Of his
tour In India the Prince of Wales ACQUIRED
many treasures. Among these the most
magnificent animal collections made oy the
Nepal government as a present to his
royal hignness rank among the first. The
Nepal collection includes baby elephant
a young rhinoceros. tiger, two tiger cubs
n leopard. bear. Tibetan and other dogs
deer, ahtelopes, varieties of Indian sheep
with an abnormal number Of horns. differ
ent kinds of pheasants and other birds and
some large lizards. All Of these the prince
has generously presented to the Geological
Society, and Mr.. Thompson, the assistant
superintendent, has been dispatched to take
charge of the collection.
Naturally the transport of such q large
number OF great beasts IS an extremely
expensive matter, and the offer OF the Duke
of Bedford, the president of the society, to
bear all the cost Of transportation Is much
appreciated by the fellows Of the society,"
On its arrival the whole collection will be
exhibited together at the Zoo, and this
should form very great attraction to
visitors during the summer. If nothing
happens 1t Is hoped that the animals will
be on view about the end of May. A pre-
cisely similar gift was made years ago by
his majesty the king on his return from
India in 1876

The declaration, which was drafted at

of promoting friendly relations with Great
Britain. says in part:
Let US all set ourselves against the
dreadful and untruthful polemic and the In

Is shocking TO play with the idea of war
between the two nations. In SO far as the
development of Germany's feet oyersteps

because of the opposition to his appoint

Richard Barry Declares China Is Get
ting Ready for War.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. March 24.-Richard Barry,
the writer. who has Just returned from q
trip through the Philippines and China.
had some things TO say yesterday concern
ing conditions in those countries.
There Is trouble brewing In China" said
Mr.. Barry. There Is every reason to be-
leve that China is getting ready for war.
The preparation she Is making Ii one indi-
cation Of II. For long time past, as you
may know. the Chinese have had German
Instructors for their soldiers. Lately these
have been displaced by japanese instruc-
tors. The reason for the change Is In some
measure, no doubt. due to the recent sue
cess of the Japanese over the Russians, but
1t is fundamentally due to the fact that the
Germans demand much more for their serv-
Ices than do the japanese.
"Anti-foreign feeling IN China Is strong.
In Southern China 1t is especially directed
against the Americans. One reason for this
feeling seems to be the sale OF our interest
In the Canton-Han-Kow railroad This
transaction, in which Mr.. Morgan played a
prominent part is regarded by Cinnamon
as tending to show that we are MERGE
nary.
1.-The exclusion act is also acause for their
feeling against us, and the stories OF exclu-
sion which merchants returning from San
Francisco to China have been telling have
row become pretty thoroughly dissent
rated.
'.The Chinese seem. strange to say, aso
to have become imbued with the idea that
we are easy-flnancially, mean. The idea
OF national integrity conveyed In the trans
action seems to have been wholly lost on
the Chinese.
THE Chinese have begun to wake UP to
the fact that north and south they are
menaced by foreigners. The Germans. you
know. have crept in on them at Shantung.

WOOD USED FOR WOODRUFF.
More Than Three Million Cords Con-
sumed Last Year.

The forest service of the Department of
agriculture has furnished preliminary
statement showing there was used in the
past year In the United States more than
S,Voo.oOO cords OF wood In the manufacture
OF wood pulp. The returns were from 1859
firms controlling 232 mills
The wood used was divided among the
various processes as follows: Sulphite,
l,5SS,OOO cords; soda, 10000 cords. ground
wood. L06s.0oo cords. The total pulp pro-
duction by all processes by the firms re-
porting was 1893 600 tons. According to
the census of 1900 the consumption of pulp
wood was then 1,966.3l0 cords, SO that there
has been an increase of over 80 per cent in
the last six years. This demonstrates, In
striking manner, the drain upon the for
ests caused by the pulp industry.
A final and detailed statement Of the

that Interpretation given by Mr.. Stead On
the question of mandate Mr.. Bodkin really
said:
..ro the very last Mr. Balfour and Mr..
Chamberlain insisted that home rule was
the main issue at the election. They pro-
claimed that every vote given for Campbell
Zimmerman was vote for home rule. They
cannot now refuse the judgment they In
vited. Lord Rosebery, who raised the same
issue, is bound by the same verdict.
THE Irish party have done much to win
the liberal victory; they are entitled TO
claim for their country share In the spoil.
They might almost as we'll abandon home
rule altogether as to consent to its aban-
donment for the next parliament. when the
