PIGTAILS FROM DEAD
FOR WOMEN'S RATS
Executed Bandits and Cemeteries
Furnish Crop to Deck
Americans

"A ton of Chinese hair for the
rats of American women FORM
ed part of the cargo of the big
freighter Wry Castle, which has
just arrived at New York from
the Orient. The hair came from
the heads of the Chinese bandits
who had been beheaded and is
valued at more than $4,000.
Enough of the hair is on board
the Wry to. provide thousands OF
American girls with the neces-
sary filling and great care was
taken on the freighter to keep it
from exposure of any sort that
might spoil it for the market in
the United States.
Hardly had the consignment
of the Chinese hair been brought
to the American docks on Staten
Island before the British steam
ship Seneca arrived at quarantine
with twenty-five cases of Chin
csc pig-tails, which, according to
Captain Grimes, were collected
in Chinese cemeteries by Amer.
leans, who collected the grew
some souvenirs for profit IN three
months plumber of Chinese bur-
ial grounds.
THE gathering of hair in
China" said Captain Grimes, SIS
quite an industry over there.
When a Chinaman is buried he
lis placed in hole in the ground
in an upright position, with the
head sticking out of the ground.
The head is closely shaved, ex-
cept for the pigtail. The Chinese
believe that their big Joss comes
around in the night and takes the
soul of the buried one to heaven
by the pigtail.
After the first visitation of
the Americans with their shears
the brothers and sisters of the
buried one reported that Joss had
ben busy with their relatives and
were content in the belief that
Joss had lifted the Souls to heav-
en- by the missing pigtails."

POISON IN STOMACH OF
GUINNESS FARM VICTIM
How Woman Killed No Longer
A Mystery.

Coroner Macl. of LaPorte. on
Saturday received from DR.. Nal
ter Haynes, of Rush Medical col
lege, Chicago, information TO the
effect that he found in his exam
nation of the stomach of Andrew
Heleglein, of Aberdeen, S. d.,
whose dismembered body was
folnd buried with nine others on
the farm of Mrs. Bella Guinness,
traces of both arsenic and
strichnine, DR.. Haynes will make
a formal end detailed report in a
few days.
The finding of the traces of poi
son in the stomach gives the first
authentic information on the
manner in which Mrs. Guinness
disposed of her victims.
Attorney II. w. Worden, who
is looking after the defense of
Ray Lamphere, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Bella Guinness,
her three children and Andrew
Helgelein, is very much wrought
up over the attitude of the county
officials in the Guinness case, and
has made public appeal to the
citizens to come to the rescue of
the defense by signing notes to be
paid in event of the apprehension
of Mrs. Guinness.
The statement was also occa-
stoned by the receipt of letter
from a Missouri man, whose name
the attorney refuses to make pub
lie, declaring that if the $4,000
reward is offered and man who
knows Mrs. Guinness is sent to
him, he will produce the missing
woman at place seventy miles
from his own town. Attorney
Worden declines to place this in
formation in possession Of the au-
thorities, but says he will act up
on it himself

WOMEN STUDENTS OUT
Expelled From Russian Univer.
versities by the Car.

One of the most sweeping re-
pressive measures ever attempt
ed by the car was promulgated
Monday, when M. Won Kauff-
man, minister of public instruc-
ton, decreed that all women stu
dents be expelled from Russian
universities and none be admit
ted henceforth.
1t was known that such a move
was under consideration, owing
to the revolutionary activity of
many of the women students, but
there was little idea that such a
radical step would be taken.
The new edict affects 1900 wo-
men, many of whom are nearing
graduation, and hundreds of
whom are making fearful sacrifi-
ces TO obtain an education.

PAPER TRUST
IS HIT LIGHT
MANILA WRAPPING PAPER
MAKERS @ Jet OFF
WITH A FINE OF
$4,000 EACH IN
FEDERAL
COURT.

IWenty-four companies manu-
featuring manila wrapping pap,
err were fined 81, 900 each by
Judge Hough in the United
States Court at New York Mon
day. They pleaded guilty ON
Friday last to maintaining an il
legal combination in restraint OF
trade. They were members OF
the Manila and Fiber Associa-
ton.
In imposing the fines Judge
Hough said that the combination
OF paper manufacturers was a
clear violation of the Sherman
antitrust law, but because of ex-
tenuating circumstances he would
impose a fine only. The COM
panies arranged to pay their fines
through their counsel.
The case against the companies
was instituted through the in
strumentality of the American
Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton, for which John Norris, oil
New York, acted as agent. The
companies composed almost the
entire membership OF the COM
bine of wrapping paper manu-
facturers which was organized
by John II. Parks in 1906.
On complaint of MrNorris the
Federal grand jury began. an in.
vestigation of the combine two
months ago, and on Friday last
returned indictments against
Parks and twenty-five companie:

fact that the companies had saw

WASTE MORE
THAN WE USE
AMERICANS EXTREMELY
EXTRAVAGANT WITH
RESOURCES-500,00
TONS OF COTTON
ARE WASTED
YEARLY

The American nation has the
reputation of wasting almost as
much of its resources as 1t uses.
Facts are often advanced to show
that there is much truth in such a
statement.
A practical paper maker recent
lv called attention to a few OF the
sources of enormous waste when
speaking of the number OF mate
rails in Americas refuse heaps,
which are worth while consider
ing as promising substitutes for
wood pulp.
The northwest annually pro-
duces a million and a half tons OF
flax stalks which are not now
used for anything. That amount
OF waste remains alter the Irvine
makers take all they want. 1t
makes excellent paper.
The farmers in the south burn
or plow under thirteen million
tons of cotton stalks every year
That which is plowed under is
not wholly lost, for it enriches
the soil to some extent, but not
SO what goes up in smoke.
Five hundred thousand tons OF
fibre have been adhering to cotton
seed every year. 1t has been fed
to farm stock along with the seed
and has done the stock no good
Cattle and sheep do not like the
fiber and the seed cake is better
without it. A machine has been
invented, which, it is claimed
will separate the lint from the
seed. Paper makers think they
can use it.
Nobody knows how many mil
lion tons OF cornstalks 90 to
waste; but in quality they are far
ahead of cotton stalk, and it is
believed they can be made into
paper, although it has not YET
been done on a commercial scale
| Thousands of acres of wild
hemp grow in the southwestern
part of the country, particularly
along the Colorado river. Its only
use now is to shelter Jack rab-
bits and coyotes, but it has SPLEEN
did fiber and tests on a small
scale show that excellent paper
can be made from it.
Paper making from straw is Z
well established industry. Book
binders use thousands OF tons O
strawboard The straw which
goes to waste in western whea
fields would bring fortunes i
made into paper.
Lists of fibrous or woody plant
suitable for paper are almost will
out limit, but only few may b,
had in quantity sufficiently larg'
to be worth considering.
The time has not yet com,
when it is absolutely necessar,
that substitutes for pulp wood b.
found, but it is coming. The for
ests are still able to furnish ma
terials for paper, but they canno
continue to do SO for grea
many years to come, at the pres
ent rate OF cutting and growth
Makers OF paper anticipate scar
city OF pulp wood, and it is thi
which prompts the active searcl
now going on for substitutes.

NEVER HEARD OF T. r.
Delaware Farmer Learns a Lot
When He Goes to City.

James T. Calhoun, fifty-eight
years old and farm hand living
sixteen miles from Georgetown
Delaware, has just learned that
Theodore Roosevelt is President
OF the United States, and that
there are such things as cameras,
airShips and automobiles in exist
ence.
Making the first trip on steam
cars and his first visit from Geor-
getown Calhoun arrived in town
very much bewildered. He said
he was all tangled up, and that
he didn't know whether he was
walking on his head or his feet
half of the time. He gasped when
some one tried TO take a picture
of him.
Amt taking any chances with
those durn things" remarked he
as he leaped to one side, expect
ing the camera to blow forth a
few six-pounders.
When some one in the group
OF men standing around him ask
ed him if he had any definite
views on Roosevelt's policies,
Calhoun calmly replied that he
had once heard somebody speak
the Greek language, and that
sounded very much like it.
WHAT exclaimed the man.
Haven't you heard about
ROOSEVELT"
The farmer had just remarked
that he had not, when an auto
mobile dashed by. This was too
much for Calhoun. He's going
right back to the farm. He firm
ly believes that the story about
airships is a fake.

FAIRBANKS SAYS mo-
Vice President in Formal State
ment Declines denomination
for Office.

Charles w arren + Fairbanks OF
Indiana, in formal letter to his
campaign manager, Joseph B.
Healing, made public Wednesday
night, reiterated and uttered more
forcibly than ever before his de-
termination not to accept renom-
ination for the vice presidency.
The publication of Mr.. Fair
banks letter on the eve of the
presidential nomination was gen
orally accepted as final and pos
tive refusal of the Vice Presi-
dent to entertain any considera-
ton of the hopes of his friends
that he might again yield to the
wishes of his party.
The letter was received with
conflicting views, despite the fact
that similar intimations have
come from the Vice President be-
fore. While many of the leaders
considered it the final judgment
of Mr.. Fairbanks, there were
some of the party leaders who be-
lieved that the announcement
might result in the naming of the
vice President to succeed himself
and that he would not refuse if
the party unanimously named him
as the running mate for Secre-
tary Taft.
This letter caused considerable
excitement among the avowed
vice presidential candidates, who
Immediately began rustling about
among the delegations, only to
find little comfort tor the reason
that the administration forces
haV absolutely refused to dicker
any further with the situation TN
til after the candidate for Presi-
dent has been named. That was
the exact situation Wednesday
night.
The Taft forces are not talking
to anyone about the vice presi-
dency. They shutiup on the prop
osition two or three days ago and
will not discuss it.
Mr.. Fairbanks communication
was as follows:
indianapolis, June 16-My
Dear Mr.. Healing: l appreciate
fully the compliment paid me by
my friends in their insistence that
| should accept a denomination
for Vice President, yet my deter
mination not to be a candidate
again, as announced before the
close of the last session of Con-
gress through you, is absolutely
irrevocable. My conclusion does
not grow out of any want of ap.
probation of the honor, Tor the
Vice Presidency is an honor
which any man may we'll covet
No one is obliged TO step down tc
lit.
Il have enjoyed the great mono,
which came to me unsought and
