home knit yarn socks from North Car

LAUNDERING IN Siam.

Washington, D. C.-Those Ium-
bernen who have for years been
engaged in the business OF denudins
the forests Of the northwest have
doubtless hsd their troubles, and have
perhaps thought that never was such
an enterprise so plagued, yet II the
same gents were to engage In the same
business In some other quarter OF the
globe, they might come to think after
all that Michigan, or Wisconsin. or
Minnesota were pretty near a paradise
for their particular line Of depreda-
ton. Anyhow it makes one think so
to read of the trials to which the lum-
berrnen of Siam are subjected.
The business in that enlightened
kingdom has been farmed out by the
king to four corporations, four big
ones and they are not doing q thing to
the standing timber. But all the same
they are putting up mighty kick over
the obstacles they find in the way.
There ara three British firms in 1t and
one Danish one, and they all sing the
same song-robbers- keep an ele-
phant ON the place. 1t seems that In
stead of logging roads and that sort
of rigging for the handling OF logs
they use elephants, which do to the
logs whatever the lumbermen want
done, from piling to carrying to dis
lance. But the natives, who have a
singular notion that the timber really
belongs to them, appear to be taking

Of Mr.. Hughes, was placed In charge

which were declared every year, sup
posing they were going into surplus
fund.
At the spring election of the bank
officers Mr.. Ferren was not reelected
cashier, and upon examination OF the
accounts 1t was discovered he had
made way with something near $4,000
Of the funds. After the shortage was
discovered Ferren quietly walked OFF
and left the stockholders to hold the
sack.
In connection with the failure of tho
bank Mr.. Hughes a!s the principal
stockholder Is loser 10 the amount of
about $4,000, besides $4,000 in cash
which he paid as bondsman for Fer
rem, who was school treasurer, and he
had on deposit in the bank at the time
of the failure $4,000. which is tied up
with the balance Of the deposits.
From the fact of his close connection
and being an officer of the bank the
Indictments were returned against Mr..
Hughes, charging false entries. receive
ing funds while the bank was known to
be insolvent. making false reports, etc.
At the time the indictments were re-
turned, Judge H. X. Evans was holding
court and the court ordered that bond
be given In the sum Of $500 on each
indictment.
For many years Mr. Hughes has
been known as one OF Wayne county's
wealthiest citizens, having lived in the
county more than fifty years. At the
present time he is president and the
largest stockholder In the Farmers and
Merchants bank, owning one-third OF
the capital stock Of that institution.
The cases will probably come on for
trial at the n ,xt term of the Taylor
county district court.
Besides Mr.. Hughes nine indictments
were returned against AL. Ferren, but
up to the present time he has not been
apprehended.

Terrible Submarine Disaster in
Which French Plunger Lutin
lis the Victim
FARFADET HORROR REPEATED
The Lutin is Buried Under 1870 Feet
of Water OF seserta, Tunis-Heavy
Seas Hinder the Work Of Possible
Observation-Disclosures Felt in Dragging
Whore Lutin Sank.

Paris, Oct 17.--Fourteen men on
board the French submarine Lutin,
which is lying crippled under 100 feet
of water off Beserta, Tunis. are almost
certainly doomed to the horrible death
which the crew Of the submarine Far
fadet met near the same spot year
ago.
Official news Of the latest submarine
disaster was received last night by
Minister OF Marine Thomson In a dis
patch from the naval commandant at
Biserta, which said:
".rhe submarine Lutin, while exer-
cising off the jetties, disappeared from
the view OF the accompanying tug.
Search and dragging operations were
begun Immediately and resistance was
felt at a depth of 100 feet near the
place where the Lutin sank"
Heavy Seas Hinder Rescue.
Three torpedo boats and three tugs
have gone out in search of the subma-
rine.
Admiral Hellue, commander of the
Tunis naval division, who went out on
board tug returned at late hour
last night, and said that, owing to the
heavy seas and the obscurity, 1t was
impossible to continue salvage opera
tons until dawn. The tugs and tor
pedo boats, however, will remain near
the place where the Lutin made its
final plunge all thru the night.
The government salvage steamers
belonging to Biserta. which were abb
sent to ASSIST in raising a French
schooner wrecked on the coast return-
ed this morning and participated in the
work.
The British consul general here pro-
posed to the French resident general
to telegraph to the British admiralty
at Malta for salvage assistance. This
offer was accepted, and powerful SAL
wage apparatus will be sent at once
to the scene OF the catastrophe.
Record Of Similar Disaster.
The Lutin is q single screw steel
submarine boat built at Rochefort In
1901 1t carries complement Of four
teen men. 1t is 1876 feet long and has
a displacement Of 1856 tons.
The reported loss of the Lutin re-
calls the catastrophe to the French
submarine boat Farfadet, July 6, 1905,
at the entrance Of the port of sidi
Abdallah, Tunis. Commandment Rotier
of the Farfadet noticed, at the mo-
ment Of plunging, that one of the doors
was not closed properly, and rushed
to adjust it. He was too late, how
ever, and the boat sank. Fourteen men
persisted
On March IS. 1904, the British sub
marine A 1, was run down by a steam
err while submerged near Portsmouth.
All it's crew were lost.
On Feb. 5, 1906, the British submar-
inc A 5. sank of Queenstown, only one
of it's crew being saved.
A third british submarine sank of
Plymouth, June 8, 1905, after an ex-
plosion on board. Fourteen of its crew
were killed.
