Mexican Vines So Full Of 1t They
Stretch without Breaking.
The owner of a large cacao planta.
ton in the northeastern part Of CHA
pas says he has discovered a rubber
vine on his property that excels all
others. The discovery was made by
Chinese laborers working for him.
The Chinese gathered vines which
grow in a dense, tangled mass and
wove them into rude hammocks. The
hammocks were especially elastic ON
account Of the large amount Of rubber
In them, and this vas particularly SO II
the vines we're dried some time.
The attention Of the owner Of the
hacienda was naturally called to the
peculiar properties of the strange vine.
Upon investigation, according to the re-
ports, it was found to carry a high per-
centage Of rubber. 1t amounts to about
20 or Is per cent of the weight of the
vine and is so strong that on breaking
the wood the rubber still holds.
In other rubber plants, Is far as is
known, there are so much resin and es-
sential oil in the rubber that 1t Is not
elastic ut all until extracted and treat
ed. 1t Is more like a viscous sap, as
that of the fig tree.
In the new vine. however, there ap-
| pears to be a total absence Of essential
oil and resin. 1t Is not SO certain a
fact, however. that this property will
add to the facility Of extraction. II
may make 1t more difficult.
II it shall be found that 1t Is possible
to separate this new rubber from the
plant in any economical manner the
discoverer believes that it will greatly
affect the industry. There are vast
tangles Of the vine, and the percentage
of rubber is higher than in any other
known plant.-Modern Mexico.

The HSncinth.

The hyacinth has it's name from
Greek mythology. According to the
story as told by Ovid, Hyacinthus. a
beautiful 10y. was the son of a Spar
tan king and the favorite Of Apollo.
Zephyrus, being envious of the attach
ment of Apollo and Hyacinthus, so
turned the direction Of Il quot which
Apollo had pitched while at play that
it struck the head of Hyacinthus and
slew him. The fable concludes by
making Apollo transform the body OF
his favorite into the flower that bears
his name.

CONFERENCE OF BANKERS

New York, Nov. al. Pierpont Morgan
was in conference several hours today
with groups of bankers in the picture
gallery of his Madison avenue home. In
all he saw about fifteen financiers.
The condition of the banks as revealed
by the bank statement was said to be
the primary cause of the conference,
though the shortage of currency and 9TH
er matters were discussed.
1t was reported that the advisability OF
asking President Roosevelt to cali a spe-
cial session of congress to deal with the
needs of the financial situation was also
discussed, but as nothing was given out
by those in attendance this can only be
classed as a surmise.
At the principal conference there were
present besides Mr.. Morgan, his two
partners, George W. Perkins and Charles
Steel; James Stillman, president of the
National City bank; George f. Baker,
president of the First National bank; A
Barton Hepburn, president of the Chase
National bank; Isaac Seligman and Grant
B. Schley.
During the day Oakleigh Thorne, pres
ident of the Trust Company of America,
was said to have visited Mr.. Morgan
relative to the sale of the Central Rail-
road of Georgia and other properties in
which Mr.. Thorne and a group of assO-
ciates are interested.
Though no formal statement was made
by any of those who visited Mr.. Morgan,
it was understood that arrangements
were made for any protective measures
that the situation may require Monday
and during the week.

teriously disappeared from this city on
Aug. rs, and for information concern
ing whose whereabouts a reward of
81 900 had been offered, arrived from
England today on the steamer Luz
cania. His wife and two friends were
at the pier and he was hurried into a
carriage and driven away.
Mr.. Heidelbach's relatives and
friends were unable to locate him until
few days ago, when a 'cablegram was
received by his wife stating he had en-
barked on the Lucania.
About a day or two prior to his dis
appearance Mr.. Heidelbach had re-
turned with his wife from an extended
illness which threatened to result ia
tally. Members of the family said to-
day that after leaving New York Mr..
Heidelbach went to Philadelphia and
to Boston, thence sailing for Europe,
where he became ill again and he was
obliged to spend several weeks in a
hospital in Liverpool and that he re-
turned as soon as able.
No explanation was offered for his
disappearance save that he felt that
he had been kept under too close sur
veillance by physicians and nurses.
On account of Mr.. Heidelbach's dis
appearance the Fabian Manufacturing
company went into the hands of re-

"TEE KING OF BANDMAsTERs."

The entire week beginning Sept %,
1907, John Philip Sousa and his band
was the prime musical attraction of the
famous Corn Palace exhibition at
Mitchell, S. D.-a fact, by the way,
that has many times been repeated in
past years in Dakota state affairs, be-
fore and since the old state division.
The Corn Palace exhibition is noted
even in the old world, and the crowds
that attend them are enormous as a
rule.
Two events occurred that week to
complete Sousa history that We're of
moment, and which created active in
terest among the crowds of thousands
Of strangers gathered at Mitchell. The
first was the fifteenth anniversary of
the organization of the Sousa band,
and the other was the cataloguing OF
the 7,500th concert of the Sousa organ
ization.
Fifteen years of uninterrupted e.
eerting throughout America and E,u-
rope by Sousa and his band, at all
times under the personal direction of
Sousa himself. AT only one time dur
ing all that period was Sousa absent
from his platform in front of his sp.en-
did organization, and that was a few
years since, when he was seized with
typhoid-pneumOnia, while on tour in
the northwest. He was taken first to
Milwaukee. and later to Lakewood, n.
j., where he recovered from the alarm
ing attack at a winter hotel noted for
its sun parlor baths. The tour was
not interrupted, however, as Sousa put
his baton in the hands of his competent
concertmeister. That same winter Mr..
and Mrs. Sousa went to Mexico. where

COMMON LAW REMEDY
TRIED IN COLORADO

Denver. Colo. Nov. 2.-Suit to enjoin
the retail coal dealers combination
from continuing its present high scale
of prices and to force it's dissolution
was filed in the Denver district court
today by Attorney General W. H
Dickson. Eighty coal companies, in
GLIDING the Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany, one of the largest concerns in the
west. are named as defendants in the
action.
In his complaint Attorney General
Dickson declares that the coal dealers
have formed a combination to control
the sale of coal in the state, and have
raised the price of ccal and maintained
ii at high and exorbitant scale. 1t is
further alleged that the production of
coal has been curtailed until it Is less
than the actual needs of customers.
The plea for an injunction is based
upon the common law, there being no
antitrust law in this state.

HIGH TARIFF
IDEA PREVAILS

Off Our Trade.

Paris, Nov. 1.-The tariff commits
s:oners of the senate and the chamber
of deputies, who are drafting a bill
for the revision of the tariff of 1902, at
a conference with Premier Clemenceau
and other members of the cabinet, to-
day formally requested the govern
ment to agree not to conclude further
commercial treaties until parliament
acts upon the bill being drafted. The
cabinet practically gave the promise
demanded, provided that the pending
Canadian French treaty be ratified
This promise IS a virtual decision to
suspend tariff negotiations with all
countries pending a revision of the tar
iff,, which is not expected to be accom-
plished during the present session.
High Tariff Idea.
The bases of the proposed revision of
the tariff are on an extension of the
double system of rates to all schedules,
making the lowest rates so per cent
higher than the mining rates, and spe-
cifcally restricting the grant of mimi
mum rates to countries offering reci-
procity to France. The proposed re-
vision is being engineered by high tar
iff advocates, and the minimum rates

people have their way. the proposed
law will compel France to begin tariff
wars against all countries refusing to
conclude reciprocity treaties. The
United States will be the principal
sufferer under the proposed revision
unless she concludes a reciprocity
treaty France, as the projected rates
for many classes of goods now extern
sively imported will become prohibit
tive.

FOOD WILL NOT

Ute Indians at Cheyenne
Agency Must Rustic for
Grub or Go Hungry.

Washington. Nov. 2-As a result Of
the conference at the White House last
night between the president. Secretary
GARFIELD of the interior, Assistant Sec
rotary Oliver of the war department
and Commissioner of Indian Agencies
Leupp regarding the renegade Ute In
dams en- the Cheyenne River reserva-
ton in North Dakota, a decision was
reached to continue the policy of fur
nlshing the Indians with work and, in
case of their failure to take advantage
of the opportunity, to leave them to
their own resources.
Mr.. Leupp pointed out that two op-
pOrtunities had been given to Indians
for employment in railroad grading,
both of which had been contemptuous-
iy refused by them.
One More Chance.
Mr.. Leupps statement was supported
by Indian Inspector Mclaughlin and
Supervisor Bagene, who We're present.
The Indians take the position that
they are wards of the government and
so will be cared for whether they la
Dor or not. 1t is now stated that they
will be given one more opportunity to
earn their living, and it is stated that
if they do not accept this the govern
ment viii do little more in their behalf
There are $50 Indians, 200 of whom are
men and boys capable of bearing arms
Mr.. Oliver said there are between loo
and 200 troops on the ground, and 9th
ers could be quickly dispatched.
Soldiers on Hand.
Troops will be kept there for police
protection. The government says Ute!
may have work if they desire it, bu
that if they make no effort in their owl
behalf the government will not assis
them. The Indians have been paid tht
annual allowance of SIS per capita from
their own fund and it is understood
that this is practically exhausted
These Indians are the same band whC
have been making trouble for the
whites for the past forty or fifty
years.
