CRUISERS MAIL
BAGS OPENED

CARACAS (Venezuela), March 20
via Willemstad, Curacao, March 2S)-
w. w. Russell, the American Minister
to Venezuela, in a note dated March
21st advised DR.. Jose de Jesus Paul,
the Venezuelan Foreign Minister, that
three pouches of official mail that
were brought into La Guayra on March
18th by the steamer Zulia for the Am
erican cruiser Tacoma had been open
ed in La Guayra Postoffice.
The Tacoma arrived at La Guayra
March 18th, and is still there. Russell
said it was a very serious thing to
break the seal of Navy correspondence
and he asked for an investigation
DR.. Pau! answered Russell's note
yesterday, inclosing a report from La
Guayra Postmaster. He said the open
ing of the pouches in question was ac-
cidental and was due to the fact that
the seals on them were similar to 9TH
ers in use in La Guayra Postoffice. In
addition DR.. Paul said that only pref
udiced mind could call this occurrence
very serious" as the contents of the
pouches had not been disturbed.
The incident Of the mail bags, cou-
pied with the return of the Tacoma to
La Guayra today, has caused the
greatest excitement in Caracas. Eel

titled, What does Roosevelt want?''

STUMBLES INTO
RICH GOLD ORE

RENO New, March 2S.-With a
stake of $4,000 given him by Milt Shep-
ardson, an attorney of San Francisco,
Harry Smith, formerly customs clerk
and Southern Pacific accountant in
that city, stumbled into fortune at
Rawhide after two days of prospect
ing in the camp. Ore from the prop
erty acquired about a mile from town
assays 1926 to the ton. Shepardson,
who created the agitation to abolish
the jury system a few years ago, heard
of the strikes in the new camp and
sent Smith with his stake into Raw
hide
Smith knew nothing about prospect
ing, and it merely happened that the
first ledge he broke samples from
proved good, He Immediately rushed
from the assayer's shop and staked the
entire hill.

ON A ROCK PILE

OROVILLE, Cal, March Escrow
ing an orchard upon rock pile would
seem like horticulture in topsy-turvy
land, but this is exactly what James H.
Leggett a large dredge operator and
former Orchardist, is doing. He has
leveled a number of acres of rock pile
upon land which he has dredged, and
is now planting this ground to figs, or
anges and grapes. Not only does Leg
gett contend that the land is as we'll
adapted to raising fruit as before it
was dredged but he goes further and
says that it is better. For the past
few years he has been experimenting
and is in a position to talk from actual
observation of trees planted among
rocks. The soil is all there, says
Leggett, the only difference being that
it has been transposed and the rocks
which formerly were below are now
on top.
In the land now being planted a rich
loan and fertilizer is thrown above
the roots, and the whole covered with
a foot Of clean, washed gravel and
rocks, which has not even a suspicion
of soil in it. Leggett states that he
does not want any soil surfacing. Soil
would merely allow weeds to grow,
which would have to be cultivated to
get rid Of. The foot of clean rock ac-
composites everything that cultivation
would do. 1t prevents weeds from
growing, conserves the water, and,
moreover, conserVes the heat. The
land has been turned over and stirred
up to bedrock. 1t has been cultivated
as no pillow could ever cultivate it.
The fruit from the trees planted as
experiments on the rock piles is fully
ten weeks ahead of the old orchards
which existed before the land was
dredged This is on account of the
fact that the rock surface retains the
heat. Leggett states that his expert
ments have demonstrated beyond pos
sible doubt that all the land which was
formerly devoted to orchards in and
around Oroville and which has been

NEWSPAPER MAN
ALLEGED BURGLAR

SAN DIEGO, March 1S.-William
Beard, special assignment man for the
Los Angeles Examiner, is now being
searched for by the police department
of Los Angeles on a warrant charging
burglary, sworn to by H. r. Fitch,
well known photographer of this city.
The burglary with which Beard is
charged was committed Monday night
between the hours of $40 and 9 o'clock
when Fitch's studio on Sixth street,
between G and d streets, was forcibly
entered and a row of films showing Ad-
miral Evans fleet at anchor in Magda-
lena bay, stolen.
It is stated by Fitch that the identi-
cal films taken, were reproduced in
yesterdays Examiner.
Failing in his attempt to purchase
pictures it is charged that Beard hav-
ing ascertained in the afternoon that
Fitch was in possession of several
valuable films, broke into the studio
through rear door ana, knowing the
exact place where the films had been
placed, carried off the entire set.
A special train consisting of an
engine and two cars was hurriedly
made up and leaving here shortly af-
ter 9 o'clock reached Los Angeles IN
time to allow half tones to be made.
1t is stated that Beard, and if it can
be shown to have abetted him, the EH-
aminer, will be prosecuted to the full
extent OF the law.

POISONOUS TATTOO NEEDLEs.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March Is
1t has been discovered by the medical
officers of the Navy that tattooing
sometimes results in cuticular tubercu-
losis, or, rather, local diseases owing
to the unclean needles used or poison
GUS pigments. 1t is likely that some
regulation will be adopted on this sub
ject. Surgeon Ammen Fahrenheit, at
tached to the Independence at Mare
Island, has given much thought to this
matter and will have a paper on it in
the forthcoming issue of the naval
medical bulletin.

nPuDDNHEADn For THE STAGE

BY a curious coincidence, there is to
be a production in London soon OF
Mark Twain's Pudd 'nhead Wilson, a
truly American play. 1t will displace
The Squaw Man, which the English
have decided is also truly American,
and which they forced into a new book
edition that the London house of Har-
pers called "a White Man" More
than this, the same star that made a
success of one will be set to making
it Of the other. Mark Twain has won
the British public with his books, and
the play is expected to be an unqual-
flied success. 1t is remembered that
Pudd-nhead Wilson has been played
over here to the delight of many au-
diences, and The Squaw Man is run
ming in New York at the present mo-
ment.

SUES MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.
LONDON, March 14-An amusing
glimpse behind the scenes of parlia-
mentary candidature was afforded this
week when Frank Harris, a we'll
known journalist sued Arthur Ducros,
the newly elected member of Parlia-
ment for Hastings, for $50 guineas for
services rendered in connection with
defendants candidature during the last
general election. Harris presented a
bill as follows:
To ten leading articles for paper es

To biographical sketch of Ducros 100
guineas.
To preparing two speeches contain
ing 1000 to 5000 words, 100 guineas.
To preparing one after-dinner speech,
5000 words, 100 guineas.
Total, $50 guineas.
Harris explained that he had written
speeches for several politicians whose
names he refused to disclose, and his
terms never before were considered to
be too high.

Iwilei, commencing at one-thirty.
The officers of the new league are:
II. Mkt, president; j. NJ Asing, vice

urer. The teams that form the new
league are the Pacifics, Starlights, Star
Lines, Oukwas and Sweet Violets.
Hung Fong & Co., one of the largest
Chinese firms in town, has given a sill
yer cup to the new league which will
stimulate interest among the teams
and it is safe to predict that some good
games will be seen during the coming
season.
The Hawaiian band will probably be
on hand Sunday, and some official OF
the Territory will open the season in
fitting manner.
