There were many reasons why

Gapon started ri once for Fin

escapes from detection. From there
there he went to Paris. where he
spent much Of last winter, visiting

himself and re-entered Russia by
way of Finland, He was last
seen on April s, of this year near
the Finnish frontier.

Russia. There are centers Of or
ganization and supply IN all the
capitals of Europe, and IT would
surprise the bureaucrats them

that are working in the cause and
what they are doing. -Gapon Is
surely among some of these.

Body Resembled CapOn.

The finding of the body of a man
somewhat resembling Gapon IN a
lonely villa near Ozerli last May
under most mysterious circum-
stances was an opportunity well
coined by the bureau of police.
But the body had been hanging a
month and certain Identification
.gvas Impossible. There was noth-
ing on ythe body to indicate its
identity ana the grand duchess
cross was missing.
The mystery was deepened by
the receipt by NJ. Alargolin, Gapon's
lawyer. of letter from Berlin ad-
dressed in the disguised hand of a
woman, inclosing the keRNo Ga
pon's safety deposit box in the
Credit Lyonnaise, and expressing
the desire that its contents be
turned over 10 his wife. The box
was opened and found to contain
20. 900 Iuples. but il was deposited
under an assumed name and was
therefore confscated by the police.

KENNEDY TO CO
TO LOUISIANA


G.. G.. Kennedy, manager of Waiakea
Mil Company. and himself the de-
siguer of a cane loader, leaves shortly
for Louisiana to investigate the cane
leaders I'm use there.
"Our cane leaders have been a con-
siderable saving of labor" Mr.. Ken
nedy said but they have some thing
far ahead of ours for economy i'm Loui-
siana.
Here the cane is placed by hand
upon sleds from which the leaders
transfer them to the cars. In Louisi-
ana they have a machine that picks up
the cane from the burrows as it lies
when cut.
ut costs us cents ton of cane
now to put it on the sled only. The
Louisiana machine picks up the cane
and loads it on car or wagon at cost
of from g cents to 4 cents a ton.
Ct am going to see how it is done,
as we have nothing here that picks "
the cane from the burrows. Perhaps
the difficulty here to find a machine
thatc an do that work is owing to the
formation of the burrows. I think the
success obtained in Louisiana is due to
the fact that the burrows there are
high.
THE difference i'm cost of handling
the cane between, say, 31-2 cents and
9 cents a ton would be considerable on
Waiakea plantation, where we load 45l
tons Of cane a day"
