WOMAN CLIMBS STEEP
AND DIFFICULT PEAK
Nine. Bayex, After Reading to Brace
Her Nerve, Performs Feat Which
Few Men Have Accom-
pIished

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Sept. MADAME Dayex, whose
husband is noted for his mountain climb
ing exploits has just arrived In Paris,
having equaled the best of his accom-
plishments in q daring ascent of one of
the most difficult and dangerous of AL
pine peaks Mont Cervin. The feat, in
fact, is regarded as among the most re-
markable accomplished by men in this
line, much less women.
In her narrative of the performance,
while she confesses to no feeling of lack
of courage, she tested her nerve In the
most strenuous manner AS prepara-
tion she read Whymper's book on the
Matterhorn, which vividly describes the
fearful CULTS, the precipices and other
terrors of that famous mount. Further
more, she went to the museum and in
spected among other relics, rich and sad
associations of disastrous climbs, the
broken cord that told the tale of the fear
full catastrophe of Lord Douglass and his
companions In 1865.
AS these reminders of possible fate
did not affect her determination, she made
the needed arrangements of outfit and
guides, two of whom accompanied her.
1t was hard, serious work, but she fall
tered at nothing, her enthusiasm growing
with every step of the ascent Finally
the top was reached after five hours
labor The brave woman felt double
pride in her achievement First, she had
succeeded in her task, and also in show
ing that the ability to perform great
feats in this line was not the exclusive
privilege of the men.

ITALIANS EAGER FOR CUTTINGS

GOVERNMENT IMPORTS MANY

In the Lecca District Nursery Has
Been Established for the Pro-
duction Of American
Vines
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Sept. 7.-Mr Cocota, the
British consul in the province of Lecca,
Italy, has forwarded to the English for
eign office a report of the wine industry
which Is of special interest to America.
The vine is cultivated throughout the
length and breadth of Italy, and in some
districts of the south and center has oc-
cupied from 10 to 20 per cent Of the culti-
waited area.
In the Lecca district there has been es-
tabished an institution of nurseries for
the production Of American vine plants
which are recognized as resistant to
phylloxeric infection. During the 1906 and
1907 season $4,000 American cuttings from
California vines were grated on Italian
plants for the approaching season, and II
Is intended to provide 100000 American
grated cuttings.
In fact so great is the demand that the
whole of the number have been already
bespoken by land owners who have de-
cided to adopt American grated vines on
their property
The American varieties are supplied by
the minister of agriculture. In one local
ity five modern vineyards have been laid
out with American grated vines, and
these will demonstrate the most approved
systems of grating, planting and cultiva-
ton. 1t is believed that, owing to the ex-
periments up to the present time being SO
successful. there is likely to be demand
for American cuttings in all parts OF
Italy.

Special Cable to The Herald.
ROME, Sept. Fatal accidents in ire
works factories are so alarmingly on the
increase in Italy that politicians are be-
ing inundated with petitions from all
quarters to devise special preventive leg
islation. AS is generally known, Italy
has an enormous inland trade in fire
works, and in the southern provinces and
Sicily pyrotechnic displays form an in
dispensable item in every sort of public
rejoicing.
During last month alone five terrible
explosions were recorded through care
lessness in the process of manufacture,
costing in each case the lives of from one
to five persons Now, within the last
twenty-four hours two further mtshaps
have swelled the list of victims.
Several hundredweights of gunpowder
blew up at factory in the commune or
SAINT Antonio, in the suburbs of Naples
killing three workmen and infiicting fatal
injuries on seven others. The explosion
was SO terrific as to set fire to a big
storage of hemp nearly mile away.
The other disaster occurred at Lecce,
where a large consignment of fireworks,
ready for popular festival, exploded.

ROCKS BOAT AND DIES;
GIVES GIRL REAL SCARE
Seized with Heart Failure When
Struggling in Lake, but Companion
cIinss to capsized Craft
and Lives

CHICAGO, Sept 7.--Because he rocked
a boat to scare a girl Nels Rasmussen, So
years old, 225 Grand avenue, is dead.
The skin in which he and Miss Victoria
HarlSin, aged Is. were riding yesterday
capsized when he stood upright despite
the girls protests. His exertions in try
ing to save himself caused his heart to
give way before rescuers could reach
him. Miss Harkin clung to the craft and
was saved
The accident took place about q mile
from shore, opposite Grace street.
Miss Harlxin told the Town Hall police
that Rasmussen stood up in the boat and
rocked it, just to hear her scream.
sarhis was when we got about mile
from the Shore" she said. 1.-THE lake was
very rough. and l was dreadfully fright
ened. He did it just to scare me, guess
1 begged him to stop, but before he could
do so he lost his balance and fell into the
water, making the boat turn over.
Miss Harkin said she succeeded in
clutching the boat. and as soon as she
got her breath, began screaming for help
Frank Johnson. who was on the beach,
heard her cries and with John p. Nelson
rowed out to ther rescue. Rasmussen
meanwhile had gotten nold of the gum
vale of the overturned boat, but before
the rescuers could reach him his strength
had given out. He was sinking for the
third time when he was pulled into john
sons boat Efforts to revive Rasmussen
were in vain. and when they reached the
shore he was dead.
1t is the belief OF physicians who ex+
amined Rasmussen's body that he died
from heart failure brought on by his ex-
ertions to get hold of the boat after fall
ing into the water.
Miss Harlxin, aside from her fright, did
not suffer greatly from ner experience.

Astonish Observers at Recent Paris

sneclal cable 70 The Herald

Special Gable to The Herald.
PARIS, Sept. THE marvellous sagacity OF
the French, German and Belgian police dogs
was strikingly displayed at the animal compe-
tition here in which ten dogs were entered.
Athos gave, perhaps. the best exhibition. He
took no notice OF hooligan who walked by
and asked his master, a Belgian policeman,
for a light but when the man made show
of treacherousy striking the policeman the
dog sprang upon him and sent him sprawling
m the sand In another experiment the dog S
master arrested supposed burglar, while the
6or stood by to help. and then guarded the
bag OF loot until the policeman returned.
In these trials the dogs were muzzled, and
even then the man who played the criminal
had very thankless part. Afterward the
muzzles were removed and four Of the best
dogs were sent in pursuit Of an Apache
who had taken refuge in a small hut, which
was discovered and stormed.
All the dogs have been trained to refuse
the insidiou5 sausage when II is offered by a
strange hand.

PRINT OF HAND MAY
BETRAY MURDERER
Slayer of Mrs. Lena scham Believed
to Have Left Impression Of
Fingers on Wall Of
Her Room

NEW YORK, Sept 7.--When the muir
derer of Mrs. Lena Scham leaped over
the bed of his victim his left hand,
grimy and dirty. made distinct print
upon the painted plastering of the wall,
Capt. McCauley of the Brooklyn detec-
tive bureau ordered the hand print pho-
tographed. Owing to the lack of light in
the room in the house at 1880 Flushing
avenue the attempt to get picture was
unsuccessful, SO the plaster around the
mark of the hand was carefully cut
away, placed in a box and taken to the
State street headquarters. The finger
prints, the police believe, may solve the
mystery which surrounds the crime.
Print Proves sIayer's Position
The position and outline of the i'm
preston indicate that the murderer
leaned over the bed with his face
toward that of the woman, whom he beat
and choked to death. His face could not
have been far from hers, and the police
believe that he took this position before
the struggle began, for although the plas-
ter near by is spotted with blood. there
Is no blood ingrained in the traces of the
hand.
The five prisoners who were locked up
as suspects had printes of their hands
taken. If a clear photograph can be
made of the hand marks on the plaster
the enlarged picture will be compared
with these prints.
One Prisoner Cleared
One of the prisoners, at least, stands
cleared by the hand print, for ne has
one finger missing, while the hand Of
the plaster print lacked none of the
digits
The body of Mrs. scham was found in
her room after she had been dead for
two days. Central office detectives have
searched vainly for slues.
