From Graveyards.
Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE mystery Of
the knights of the White Death"
letters, which were recently sent to
various clergymen and prominent
citizens in this city with the threat
that unless they left large sums of
money at designated spots they
would be put to death, was cleared
up when William. Pollard, %, driver
of a grocery wagon, was arrested
and confessed to having sent the mis-
sives as joke.
When confronted by the postoffice
officials, Pollard laid the blame on
his having read Conan Doyle's stories
of crime Fascinated by the novel
lists lurid pictures of skulls, ghosts,
grave raids and all-night vigils of de-
tectives, Pollard declared he had de-
termined to see how they would work
). out in the hands of the Chicago po-
Mice. So he organized the knights
of the White Death" and with Sher-
lock Holmes fancy for the weird
wrote out bundle of letters, all dec
grated with skulls and crossbones.
The demands for money, he said,
were simply added to enliven the
mystery, as he, never went to see
whether the money was left or not.
A few days ago one Of the letters
reached the Rev. w. O.. Waters of
Grace Episcopal church. 1t was &C
companied by small box, also sent
through the mail, containing bones,
apparently human, and the rusty ham
dies of a coffin. Ten thousand dollars
money to be left at night by the cler-
gyman at lonely spot. Detectives
were posted at the place indicated in
khis letter and also at places indicat-
id in similar letters sent to Rev. R.
IF. Roberts of Quinn chapel and A. G.
Dixon of Moody institute.

dies out of a graveyard" said Pol

tanned by the postoffice authorities.
II have been great lover of Doyle,
and after reading all of his works
could get hold of thought it would
be "a great joke to see what kind of
Sherlock Holmes the police would be.
It was fun to see how perplexed the
police were and how the newspapers
were trying to figure it out"
Pollard was arrested at Evanston
suburb. He was held in custody
pending further investigation.

Protest of European Firms-Regu-
lations Covered Decorators, Black,
Sportsmen's and SmokeIess Mill

fusaI to Underbid Foreign Makers.
Cleveland, O., Dec. 1 Worldwide
agreement of all the powder compa-
MES in this country and Europe was
presented at the federal hearing be-
fore Special Master Mahaffey 1t pro-
vided for a $4,000 fine for any
breach of the agreement. This docu-
ment after presentation was identi-
fed by Almon Lent of the Austin
Powder company of this city.
The agreement was signed in 1897,
and provided that it should continue
in force for 10 years and afterwards
until such time as the companies saw
fit to revise it.
President Lent said that his COM
pany withdrew from the agreement
at the expiration of the ten years.
The testimony brought out at the
hearing related only to the effect the
agreement had upon the Austin Pow
de, company. It's worldwide effect
was not touched upon. Mr.. Lent also
intimated that the agreement also
ceased at the expiration of the ten
years period so far as all of the
other companies were concerned, ac-
cording to his knowledge. He init
mated that by the termination of the
agreement the Dupont company nc
longer is a trust" and is not oper-
ating in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law. Mr.. Lent gave freely
all information asked for by the gov
eminent attorneys.
The document sets forth that the
Dupont company, the Austin Powder
company and nearly 100 other con
Germs in this country had signed it
and also all the powder concerns in
Europe. The 100 in this country in
clude every powder company in the
United States, the attorneys state
The agreement states that at the
time it was drawn up there was i'm
mense competition that was detri.
mental to the powder trade, both in
Europe and here. 1t was believed, it
said, that by reaching some agree
ment in regard to prices, trade could
be regulated so that each concern
could live and make profits.
A defamation factory was being
built in New Jersey at that time, to
which the European concerns object
ed. The companies in this country
agreed, according to the document, to
stop the erection of this factory 1t
was also agreed that the United
States companies should buy 5,000,-
900 pounds Of detonators from Eu.
rope. Regulations were made as to
black powder, sportsmen's powder
and smokeless military powder.
1t was agreed, the document set
forth, that if the United States re-
ceived any bids from a foreign coun-
try for smokeless military powder, 1t
would find out what the European
concerns had bid and that the con-
Germs here should not bid any less
than the same price and should bid
more.

An excellent way for making chill
dren's bibs, and one that fully an
swers the purpose, is made by using
the regular yoke pattern, cutting the
back deep enough so that a narrow
piece of the goods comes under the
arm. Instead of the same depth yoke
in front, cut the material as long as
the child's dress, rounding the goods
at the side if you prefer Join the
back yoke to the front piece; cut the
sleeves, and sew in; face the yoke
neck and sides with bias strips of the
material. Two buttons will be sufh
cient for the back. When finished you
will have bib that not only entirely
covers the front of the child's dress
but also protects the sleeves.
