That our American rorests abound In
nlants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues Is abundantly attested
by scores Of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
4ored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent Of the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely TO the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment OF most
valuable American medicinal roots.

The Helion Fflament L.mn.

Prof. II. G. Parker of the physics de-
partment of Columbia and Walter G.
Clark, an electrical engineer, have an
nounced the success of their experiments
to find better medium than carbon for
electrical lamps. They say they have
substance which they have named helion.
composed largely of silicon, but contain
ing some other ingredients not mentioned.
The mixture is deposited from gas on
thread of carbon. To prove it's superior
ity they turned an electric current into
two bulbs attached to the same wire.
One was the ordinary IS candle-power
carbon filament and the other of the same
size, but supplied with the helion fla
ment. A slight flow of electricity that
made the carbon lamp appear as a dull
red wire produced in the new bulb a white
light that you could read by. AS the cur
rent was increased the old light changed
from red to yellow and increased in bril-
liancy until it reached 16 candle-power.
while the helion light went to 40 candle
power. The latter would stand much
more overlooking than the former. and
is expected to last twice as long. besides
operating with much less current. He
lion is not a metal, and can be manufac-
tured in unlimited quantities, but is more
expensive to make than carbon flament

FLAMES IN PULLMAN
$4,000 WORTH OF HARDWOOD
LUMBER DESTROYED.
Sheds Containing Mahogany and
Other Valuable Woods Used for
Finishing Cars Are Burned-Con-

Flames swep. through the lumber yards
of the Pullman company at Pullman Mon
ray, between Z :45 and 8 a. M, and many
thousands of feet of mahogany and other
expensive hardwood was laid in ruins
Half of the 100000 feet of lumber which
was stored in the yards was destroyed or
damaged by the flames and water. L.
Dunbar, manager of the Pullman Com
pany, said the loss would probably reach
$4,000. On account of the almost inn
pasable condition of the roads engines
summoned from nearer towns found 1t
impossible to make good progress The
burned sheds covered an area of about
200 feet square each and in them were
all the choice mahogany and other lumber
used in putting the finish to the Pullman
vestibule cars. The lumber yards through
which the fire threatened TO sweep are five
blocks long and three blocks wide and un-
til the blaze was brought under control 1t
was feared that some of the main build
ings of the plant would be destroyed.
When the flames broke out there we're a
number of men about the sheds and they
made a wild rush to points of safety.
Soon the fire department maintained in
the Pullman plant was on its way and
alarms to the city engine houses brought
all the apparatus from the suburb of Pull
man and neighboring localities.

but IL there is a strike rebellion will fol-

DEAD BY NINE BLAST.
FoRTY-THREE BODIES TAKEN
FROM MEXICAN PIT.
Many Victims Japanese-Great Ex-
cifement Caused by Disaster and
Troops Sent to Scene to Keep

A dispatch from Las Esperanzas. Mex
leo, sixty-eight miles south of Eagle Pass,
Texas. says that more than 100 lives
are believed to have been lost in Con-
quista mine, belonging to the Mexican
Coal and Coke Company as result of
en- explosion. Forty-three bodies have been
removed and more than sixty miners are
still in the compartment where the ex-
plosion occurred. Whether they are all
dead or not is not known. Many of the
men who were killed are japanese. The
Mexican Coal and Coke Company is com
posed of Americans who are identified
with the Erie railroad interests. The Ca
tastrophe has caused intense excitement
among the several thousand miners en-
ployed at the mines and troops have been
sent to the scene to preserve order. An
other report says thirty miners are known
to have lost their lives. According to
meager reports the explosion occurred at
o'clock Monday night shortly after the
night shift had commenced work The ex-
plosion is thought to have been caused by
gas which ignited from defective lamp
carried by one of the miners. The acct
dent is the most serious that has occurred
in this district since the disaster in the
Barratorna mines a year ago, which
claimed nearly 100 victoms. Las Esperan-
zas is town Of about 5000 inhabitants
and is made up mostly of employees of the
coal mine. 1t is thought that no Ameri-
cans have lost their lives. With the ex-
ception of the mine bosses all tie EN-
ployes are foreigners.

how insane, and, therefore, should not
be committed to an asylum.
The rest of tile testimony since the
first day has been an attempt to cor
roborate the opinion of the expert that
Thaw was insane and to show the ex-
istenee of a condition of affairs acute
enough to drive to temporary insanity
man who had predsposition to it,
When insanity is due to the effect of
bone pressure on the brain an operation
upon the skull often causes the recov-
cry of the patient. In this case it is
alleged that the irritant was not a
piece of bone but the man White. With
the removal of White, in this case not
by the hand Of surgeon but by the
patient himself. it is assumed that
Thaw's brain ceased to be irritated and
returned to its normal condition.

district attorney can discredit this med
ical witness as thoroughly as he did the

PLAN OF THAw DEFENSE.
Contend that Defendant Was Tenn
pOrariIy irresponsible.

UOEafttg lEftSpOnhIDtc.
Harry X. Thaw is fighting against
the plea of insanity his attorneys are
trying to establish with the aid of such
carefully prepared expert testimony.
Thaw fears that District Attorney
Jerome is planning to send him to the
madhouse in the event of his acquittal,
and this fact makes him fear the plea
his lawyers have set up. They are at
tempting to prove that he was insane
at the time of the murder of Stanford
White, June %. 1906, but that he has
been constantly improving since then,
and is now entirely sane. Thaw fears
that his attorneys are putting too much
emphasis on this feature of the case
and believes that a stronger attempt
should be made to impress the jury
with the self-defense plea, and to win
It's sympathy by unspoken appeals to
the unwritten law.
The trial was brought to a sudden
halt Thursday by the death of Mrs.
Joseph B. Bolton, wife of juror No. II.
Mrs. Bolton had been suffering from
double pneumonia, and its fatal ter
mination caused alarm among those
directly interested in the Thaw case.
The testimony of DR. Evans in the
Thaw case revealed the nature of the
defense. The doctor. who is not an inn
provised expert, but the head of large
insane asylum and a physician of many
years experience in mental diseases,
testified that on the occasion of his
first three visits to Thaw in jail, Thaw
was undoubtedly insane. He was suf-
fering the after effects of mental ex-
plosion." During the period covering
the later visits of the physician Thaw
showed a steady improvement. so that
it would appear that at present he is
nearly, if not quite, sane. In other
words, he defendant was not response
BILE for his deed at the time it was COM
mitted, and, therefore, should not be
punished. On the other hand, he is not

CAPTAIN WENT FIRST.
Master of IIl-Fated Steamer Larch-
mont Accused of COwardice.

mont Accused OF COWard1ce.
A new element was injected into the
horror attending the loss of the steam
er Larchmont in Block Island sound
through collision with the schooner
Harry Knowleton, when Captain Nc
Vey of the steamer admitted that his
lifehoat was one of the first, if not the
first, to leave the sinking ship.
This statement was made in reply to
charges by Fred Hiergsell, an 1S-year-
old lad OF Brooklyn, one of the sur
vivors, that the passengers were left to
shift for themselves; that the ships
crew crowded the boats without at
tempting to provide for the passengers,
and that Captain McVey was the first
to desert the ship. The statement of
young Hiergsell caused sensation, in
view of the fact that ten of the nine
teen survivors were employees on the
ship, or, in other words, that while APP
proximately 20 per cent of the vessels
crew was saved only per cent of the
passengers survived.
Captain McVey explained that while
his boat may have been the first in the
water it was because he had a good
crew and that he remained by his ship
until she went down. At least 157 per-
sons were known to be on the steamer,
and there is every indication that the
number was nearer 200. Until the hull

President in Message Makes Plea
for Western Fuel.
President Roosevelt Wednesday sent
to Congress a long message calling at
tention to the urgent need of legisla-
ton affecting the different phases of
the public land situation in the United
States" The President advocates the
conservation of coal and other fuel re-
sources on lands still belonging to the
government, saying that henceforth the
nation should retain its title to its tuel
resources; urges government control of
the Western public land pastures, with
a system of small grazing fees, etc, and
asks for an appropriation of 100000,
Immediately available, in addition to
present estimates, to be used in detect
ing and preventing land frauds. He
contends for system Of government
leasing of mineral lands and for treat
ing these fuel lands as public utilities.
President Roosevelt points out that it
would have been better if some eastern
coal lands had been left under govern
meDI cOHlfOl, ana suggests provision VI
the West against recurrence of the
conditions we deplore in the East"
Citing $500 cases of public land entries
in four districts mentioned. the Presi-
dent says noncompliance with the law
was found in more than half of them,
and deliberate fraud in many cases.
The President first refers to his pre-
vious messages to Congress on the sub
ject, and again calls attention to the
Importance of legislation which would
provide for title to and development of
the surface land distinct from the right
ID underlying mineral fuels under a
leasing system on conditions which
would inure to the benefit of the public.

Benton Kuppenheimer Loses His
Life by Accidental Shooting.
Benton Kuppenheimer was shot and al
most instantly killed at the residence of
his father, Jonas Kuppenheimer, in Chi
cago. The young man was about %
years old. The police were inclined to
the theory that the young man killed him
self, and a report to that effect was given
out. After further investigation Lieut..
Cranes men came to the conclusion that
death was the result of an accidental dis
charge of the revolver. This theory was
adopted on account of the peculiar posi-
ton of the bullet wound, at the rear and
base of the skull Two sisters and num-
Der of servants were in the house at the
time of the tragedy. Mr.. and Mrs. Jonas
Kuppenheimer, the parents of the young
man, left last week for Pasadena, Cal.
Soon after z o'clock Miss Wells, nurse,
who had been attending the young mans
sister, heard a pistol shot. She ran up
stairs and found the young man lying on
the floor near a couch in the dining room.
A revolver was lying on the floor near
him. He had died almost instantly. The
bullet passed through his skull. No pos
sible cause can be assigned for suicide.
