NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE House

fortune valued at many thousands.
The Investigations Of Charles B. Smith,
the public administrator. disclosed the
strange story Of the house where, on
Wednesday, Caroline Barry, aged
eighty-six years, a recluse, worth more
than 8, 100000, died after practically
starving herself to death.
The search was for a win which the
administrator thought might have been

money would be hidden.
The cash has been turned over to the
authorities, pending the decision Of the
courts as to its distribution. Six mem
bers Of the Underhill family have filed
claims, declaring themselves legal
heirs. During the eight years she sedu-

Mrs. Barry subsisted upon oatmeal and
crackers and bread, although she
owned much real estate in both Man
haitian and Brooklyn. The old woman
also had an eccentricity concerning milk
cans. When she obtained one she
would polish it with great enthusiasm
and store It away.
A large number of these cans, scrupu-
lousy clean, were found in the house.
What Mrs. Barry saved them for IS a
mystery. The authorities regard the
collection as sign Of insanity.

HOW TO MAKE ROADS
THAT WILL BE DUSTLESS.
A German-Made Composition Called
Apokonin, Which Will Not Disinte-
CRATE Under Heavy Traffic

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Consul T. Fl.
Norton, writing from Cbemnitz, says that
a Saxon firm has introduced n new road
binding composition called "Apokonin,'
which has been tried on the macadamized
streets of Leipzig. and other places with
much success. The material is thus de-
scribed:
1t is q mixture of the heavier residual
oils obtained in the dlstillation of coal tar
with high boiling hydrocarbons. The
method of mixing apparently involves a
certain degree of chemical combination, In
which phenol and similar constituents play
a role. The manufactured material is pre-
pared for use by heating in iron caldrons.
Identical with those used for asphalt, TO
temperatures ranging from PIP to 24S de-
grees Fahrenheit or 100 to 40 degrees Cen
tlgrade. 1t is then sprayed evenly over
the surface of a roadway with a special
form Of apparatus, and under such high
pressure that the fluid mass penetrates to a
certain distance into the upper layer of
dust or dirt. The result is the formation of
a compact lustrous black coating, which
meets the demands of heavy traffic and is
disintegrated into dust particles. A
marked advantage of the new process over
the. methods hitherto employed for the
same purpose, and based upon the use of
ordinary tar, is the total absence of odor
after the application.

STOP EXPECTATION OF
CAPE COLONY OSTRlCHES.
Prohibitive Export Duty Imposed on
Them-Birds Are Being Bred
by Selection.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S-Consul-Gen
eral Julius @ Lay, of Cape Town, reports
that since a prohititive export duty of
$780, IS has recently been imposed on each
ostrich sent out of Cape Colony a bill has
been reported favorably in the Legislature
entirely prohibiting the export of ostriches
or ostrich eggs. To this he adds:
Fifty years ago ostrich feathers were OBJ
tanned by hunting traders who shot Wild
ostriches in the interior of the country,
but in the sixties chicks from the wild
parent birds were caught and domesticated
with a view to farming them for feathers.
Since those days ostrich farming has be-
come one of the most important Industries
of this colony, the mount Of feathers
shipped in 1906 from the colony amounting
to approximately 471,0 d pounds, valued at
S., 261, sos. There was a further increase in
feather exports last year, the value being
6.842. S7S. Some years ago small shipments
of ostriches were made to the United
States. Australia and New Zealand, but
the new measures will no longer permit
this.
Ostriches are now bred by selection, and
matings are not made ~hap-hazard as for
merly. There is a great difference between
the value Of ostriches for this reason. and
a common-bred bird can be bought in
thousands in Cape Colony for SIS to $40
each. while for high-claSs ostriches of
special merit as much as $500 to 2.40O
each Is paid; but while the former yields
in feathers only So to $3.50 each at a single
plucking the latter will produce feathers
valued at from $40 to $50, and some birds
have been known to return as much as
$40 at a single plucking.

TOBACCO EXPORTS FROM
COLOMBIAN REPUBLIC
Consul Manning Says That the Guam
tity to Be Shipped Abroad During
Season Will Be Large.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Consul ]. A.
Manning, of Cartagena, advises that esti-
mates from the most reliable sources avail
able place the probable export of tobacco
from Colombia during the present season
at about 10000 bales of 62k Kilograms, or
1875 pounds, each. The consul particular
ICES:
Eighty thousand bales of this amount are
expected to go out through the port Of
Cartagena and almost without exception
the entire export will be sent to Bremen in
Germany. This is brought about by the
advancing of large sums of money on the
tobacco crop by German houses. The
greater portion of the tobacco will come
from the districts of Carmen, Savanna and
Sinu and it will be what is generally
known as medium strength. 1t Is said that
If this tobacco were properly treated and
sweated II would be a very high grade
and would occupy an important place in
the tobacco market of the world. I am
Informed that last year the price received
for the tobacco of STINT was that of "A L"
l am informed that a great deal of land
suitable and available for the growth Of
tobacco is to be found in the districts
mentioned, and 1t is thought that if this
tobacco We're carefully grown and treated
that 1t would be a competitor of the to-
bacco of Cuba and Porto Rico.

NO LEAK IN WESTERN
SPEECHES OF ROOSEVELT.
President to Take Extra Precautions to
Prevent Wall Street from Getting
Them in Advance.

OYSTER Bay, Sept. 23.-Wall Street
will nave nc chance to get advance infor-
nation concerning the trend of the Presi-
dents speeches during his coming West
ern trip Neither the Wall Street publi-
cations MOI tn. ticker service will be fur
nished with copies of speeches for release,
and every ~precaution will be taken to pre-
vent a leak anywhere along the line. Sec
rotary Loeb announced last night that only
the recognized news associations will be
provided with. advance copies of the Presi-
dents speeches. 1t is understood that all
individual publications will be cut off from
the privilege. Not even the Review OF Re
views Is to be favored.
TIL Presidents decision to withhold his
speeches from the Wall Street publica-
tions, ticker service and individual pub
l~lcations was brought about by the belief
that Wall Street has had in the past a
pretty clear idea of what he was going
TO say beforehand, and has prohted ac-
cordinsly.
When the President spoke at Province
town last month Wall Street again had ad-
vance information, and the President de-
termined that the cat should NOT be let
out Of the bag ahead of time again II he
could help it. If Secretary Loeb works ont
the scheme satisfactorily, the first news
of the Presidents speech at Canton, O., on
September 30. and OF the speeches which
are to follow will be read in late editions
of afternoon papers.
