An Americanized Chinaman, Chin
Gee Hee. Is the protector. president
and engineer-in-chief Of railroad
which has recently bean opened In
the Hongkong hinterland. OF the
six locomotives used, four were pur-
chased in the United States, the

DRAY FoRGOES THE HONOR.
Though Champion Vaulter Will Not
Go to London.

NEW YORK. June 1s.-While
hundreds of athletes are bemoaning
their loss at not having made" the
Olympic team which will represent
America at the London stadium
next month for the worlds cham
pionships, one of the first to b.
picked by the American committee,
one has said he will not accept the
honor and will not compete. He Is
". P. Dray Of Yale university. a
champion with whom the athletes
OF the whole world are familiar. In
fact, his feats in the pole vault
have for more than year been
Viewed with wonder. For two
years he has held the worlds cham
pionship and the intercollegiate
record.
At the intercollegiate meet in
1907 he hurled himself into the air
the unprecedented distance of IL
feet 1-2 inches and established a
mark that remained untouched un-
til he himself, nearly year later,
added another inch to 1t. At the
Olympic tryouts he was defeated by
Gilbert, one Of his classmates, and
stripped of the record and title.
Spurred on by disappointment,
Dray trained and practiced as he
had never done before, with the re-
suit that on Saturday at a meet at
Danbury. Conn, he cleared the bar
at IL feet 8 1-2 inches. So much
higher is this than any other vault
ever recorded that Dray announced
Immediately after his vault that he
was content to rest on his laurels
and allow Gilbert, Nelson, Cooke
snd the other prominent vaulters
to beat the foreigners when Ameri-
ca met the world next month.
WHILE Dray is probably sincere
in his desire to refrain from COM
peting, those who know him bes,
say that when the time comes for
the American pole vaulters to line
IN in the London stadium Dray
will be one Of the first on the field.
His patriotism will compel him to
strive for the success Of his coun-
try.

IMPROVEMENT OF POULTRY IN.

High Glass Birds Now Grown by the

Charleston Bureau Evening Teller.
CHARLESTON. Wash, June 25.-
There is more high-class poultry
being raised among the Charleston
orchards this year than at any time
since the industry began. The or
ganization of the Asotin County
Poultry association is doubtless re-
sponsible for the increase in inter-
est in this industry, which is a val
liable adjunct to the fruit growing
business. There Is a reaching out
for better foundation stock, and the
poultry exhibit at the coming fall
and winter shows will prove that
there is an unusual amount Of first
class birds in this vicinity.
One hundred more cherry pickers
can be used in the Charleston or
chards for the next 10 days. Many
boys and girls are finding profitable
employment in the orchards and in
the packing houses and canneries.
Several representatives of we'll
known fruit houses in Spokane have
visited Charleston this week to size
up the situation with an idea of
getting in for part of the commits
sion business Of handling the crop.
Mayor Yount was the recipient Of
fine new boat this morning, the

him to use it in the outing trip he

WOULD REVIVE
LACE INDUSTRY
ITALIAN LACE MAKERS HAVE
STARTED OPERATIONS IN NEW
YORK-WILL IMPORT EX-
PERTS.

NEW YORK, June 25.-All those
who are interested in the continue
ton in America of old-world indus
tries and the prevention of their ut
ter loss by the merging of the i'm
migrants into the great army OF
workers are interested in the efforts
of Miss Carolina A. Mamari of
Rome, patroness of the women's in
dustrial work of Italy, and doctor OF
the Scoula di Indestrie Italiana in
New York. who has just returned to
this country to continue her work
in the New York school.
About two years ago an Italian
lace industry was started at the
Richmond Hill settlement house by
New York woman who had at
heart the welfare of the Italian
women in this country.
The idea was to revive the lace
industry as it has been done In
Italy, where schools were opened to
keep alive the talent inherited from
the ancestral workers, whose beauti-
full work may be seen from time to
time in exhibitions. Only the best
patterns were used. which were
copied from Gothic and Renaissance
sources, and the result was the
Burano lace, a very beautiful mod
ern product. A committee to en-
courage the sale OF the laces was
formed with the purpose to encour-
age its production.

WILL TAKE REGULAR COURSE
No Exception, It Is Said, Will Be
Made in Case of Magness.

The record of the proceedings of the
court-martial in the case of Charles J.
Magness, the marine who married Miss
German and is now charged with deser-
ton from the navy, had not arrived at
the Navy Department up to late hour
this afternoon, but was expected in
later mail. 1t was announced that the
case would take the regular course, going
first TO Judge Advocate General Camp
bell for review. and then to the Secretary
of the Navy for final action.
Owing to the unusual features in the
case it is probable that the wishes of the
President will be consulted before final
action is taken. The general impression
among officers at the department is that
Magness was found guilty and received
the usual sentence for observation-disclosures
ora BILE discharge and a term of imprison
ment Two years is the maximum period
of Imprisonment allowed by the reguIa-
tions for such offenses. Conviction Of de-
sertion carries with it also the loss of ali
rights of citizenship. 1t is within the
prerogative of the President, however, to
mitigate the sentence or to practically set
it aside by executive pardon.

ASKS A SEPARATE BUILDING
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT
AUDITOR SEEKS MORE ROOM.
Also Urges Increase of Salaries II
His Annual Report Made
Public Today.

Recommendations for increases In the
salaries of his chief clerk, chiefs of d.
visions, the establishment of super
visory grade for the advancement OF
clerks now doing important work at an
Inadequate salary and an increase from
$500 to $50 a year in the salaries OF
about two hundred women now employed
in asserting money orders are among the
important features in the annual report
inst made public by Merritt .. Chance'
auditor for the Post Office Department.
Mr. Chance urges that separate
building be provided for his bureau and
its large force of clerks, thus relieving
the congestion existing in the Post Once
Department building. He recommends
that the appropriation for one of the dep
uty auditors now provided be omitted. and
that instead provision be made Tor an
expert accountant. because the smplfi-
cation of the work of the Office no longer
makes necessary so many assistants
while the important character of its SUI
peryision of the postal finances makes an
expert accountant indispensable.
Recommendation is made that old
money orders be destroyed, which would
result in the saving of miles OF smell
filing space, and the adoption of I'M
proved methods suggested for stating and
auditing accounts, which would result In
the saving of sixteen clerks.
In his analysis of the postal deficit an
nounced in the statement of postmaster
General Meyer yesterday the auditor
states that Sill ,5O4. us Al of the deficit was
and but for them the postal deficit for the
last fiscal year would have been but

cit for the preceding year.
