National Conservation Commits
sfon Asks What Shall Be
D0Ee With Sawdust

WASHINGTON, Oct 3.-Five hun
dred manufacturers of explosives, pulp
wood and similar products have been
asked by the national conservation
commission for information as to all
possible uses of .sawdust From this it
will be seen the commission is going
into fine. details in it's inventory Of the
natural resources of the country
Seven thousand lumbermen have been
asked for the opinion as to the waste
of lumber in sawnills, and more than
two thousand lumber dealers and COOP
erage, veneer, furniture, box. vehicle
and implement manufacturers have
been asked to point out striking fea-
lures of waste in their. respective lines
The scarcity. of the more attractive
finishing woods in the last few years
has led to the annual production of
LOO. 600. 600 square. feet of veneer
This, of course, has been made pos
sibie only by the introduction of new
veneer making machinery.
Though the word veneer carries
many meanings it is most commonly
employed as the name for the thin
slices of wood now extensively used In
the exterior finish of furniture and
woodwork.
The woods principally used for max
ing veneer are red gum, maple and
yellow. poplar. which together, yield
more than half of the total product
Red gum is largely used for baskets
and maple for furniture. More valu-
able than these. however. are white
oak and walnut veneer Beech, which
can be cut very thin, Is used very
largely for wooden plates
A good deal of waste occurs in the
manufacture Of veneer. 1t is always

cores left by the rotary process. In
many cases these are used for pulp
wood pillars or panel headings, and
they are largely used also for. fuel.

CAPTAIN SMITH
COMMITS SUICIDE
CREW OF BRITISH STEAMER ASH
FIELD MUTlNY AND COMMAND
ING OFFICER SHIRKS TROUBLE
BY TAKING POISON AT SEA.

Mobile, February 4.-Captain Smith,
master of the British steamer Ashfield
clearing this port December 10, last
for Nipa, Cuba, suicided by drinking
poison in his stateroom while on the
high seas. The first mate took charge
of the vessel and landed her at Man
zanillo on January 8, at which point the
second mate was called to the command
by the mutinous crew, landing his YES
sci at Cienfuegos on January 10, from
which point one of the sailors mailed
the letter to this port that arrived to-
day with the meager details.
The writer of the letter said that
trouble broke out on the ship shortly
after the vessel left Mobile and that
the crew was on the verge of starva-
ton when they mutnied.
Immediately following the suicide of
the captain the crew became quiet I'M
til the body was buried at sea, after
which the mutiny broke out afresh
ending with the first mate in charge.
Even then dissa tisfaction ensued and
continued until the second mate as
sumed command of the vessel.
1t is intimated that Captain Smith
suicided in order to untangle himself
from the troubles that had broken out
on board the vessel
The maritime register gives the pres
ent master of the steamer as Richie.

HISTORIC MULE BIT
WILL Be PRESERVED
WAS WORN ON MULE ON WHICH
GENERAL SANTA ANNA RODE
AT SAN JAcINTo-PREsENTEp
TO STATE.

Montgomery, February 4.-(Special.)-
Capt. John H. Wallace of Huntsville,
through his son, john II. Wallace, Jr.,
state game and fish commissioner, has
presented to the state department of ar
chives and history the bit worn by tho
mule upon which General Santa Ana
rode when he was captured by the Amer
lean army at San Jacinto, April 81, 1886,
which ended the war with Mexico and
made the state of Texas a republic. 1t
is one of the most unique pieces of equip
ment, and many horsemen about the cap
Itol have been offering suggestions as to
how it was worn.
The bit was presented to Captain Wal
lace by Peter Duncan a well-to-do
ranchman of the San Gabriel river, in
Texas. Mr.. Duncan received it from his
father who was SO years of age when
he made the presentation. and who was
in the battle. He took it from the mouth
of the mule as a momento of the bloody
struggle. Mr.. Wallace, Jr., who has long
taken great interest in history and the
Alabama department, secured the bit for
Director Owen that it might become a
part of the valuable historical collection
about this war now under his control.

The details of a slick confidence eama
by which Lucien Smith, assistant train
ulspatcner of the Southern railway at

been made public
ABOUT a week ago a stranger pre-
sented himself at the telegraph Office
representing himself as salesman for
Remington typewriters and claiming to
De member of the Order of Railway
Ielegraphers. He presented Mr.. Smith
with his o. r. T card and demonstrated
the fact that he was an expert tee
graph operator, soon completely win
ming the confidence of Mr.. Smith.
When the latter went to dinner he
invited the stranger to accompany him.
but he refused, saying he would go TO
his hotel. While Mr.. Smith was away
at dinner the stranger copied three
messages, one of which purported to he
from bank at Montreal. Can, to the
Merchant's Bank at Tuscumbia. in
structing the latter to pay 5000 to p
