MAC.HINIST MUST PROVE
TITLE CLAIMS BY WRITING
Austrian Authorities Demand Abso-
lutte Proof of Alleged Lineage
of Salvador

WASHINGTON, May 26-Confident
that the machinist of gainesville, o.,
Johanna Salvador, is not the Arch
duke of Austria who renowned his
rights and disappeared nearly a quar-
ter of a century ago. Baron Amrbosy,
charge of affairs of the Austrian
Hungary embassy here, will require
direct evidence of the claimants iden-
tity before bringing the matter to the
attention of the Vienna officials.
The baron is not satisfied with a
comparison of the photographs of the
machinist with that of the present en-
peror as establishing the formers iden-
tity, because the archduke was only a
second cousin of the present ruler.
The Austro- Hungarian embassy here
is awaiting such proof as the Ohio man
may submit. 1t has become known
that any handwriting submitted for
comparison with the handwriting of
the archduke must be written in the
presence of an official witness. A let
ter written years ago will not be for
warded to Vienna if presented.

MUTTON PRICE ADVANCES
BECAUSE OF GRAIN COST
Chicago Packers Deny That Beef Will
Be Raised Beyond the Usual
Fluctuations

CHICAGO, May 26-The restaurant
diner who orders mutton or lamb
chops in the future probably will be
served with smaller portions, for NUT
ton has advanced to the highest point
i'm recent years. The price was in
creased yesterday Is cents per 100
pounds. Pork, however, has remained
stationary.
This rise in mutton caused rumors
of advances in other fresh meats. II
was reported from Omaha that fresh
meats were to be advanced to the trade
at once and to the customers in a few
days. Beef, it was said, was to be
affected by a rise of from 21A to
cents pound, to remain i'm effect until
the grass in the cattle began to arrive
in July.
Chicago packers, however denied
that beef was to advance beyond the
customary daily fluctuations. High
prices of corn and other grain are re-
garded as responsible for the rise in
prices.

Success

CHICAGO, May 26.-Japanese bam-
boo is to be grown in America. William
d. Hills, a government expert, who has
been in Japan for the past eighteen
months, believes that this can be ac-

has shipped fifty tons of the bamboo
trees which he raised in Japan to the
government experimental farm near
Yuma, Ariz. The trees will be set out
Immediately.
Should the cultivation of this new
and valuable product prove profitable
it will mean a great deal to the arid
regions of the southwest.
It's use is constantly increasing i'll
this country, and with the advent of
it's utilization in aeroplanes and flying
