DIR. William +. Cell. the noted explor.
er, who arrived at New York from an
extended journey into the Northern
mountains of China and returned to his
home in Doylestown. Pa. tells of having
mapped 200 miles of the great wall OF
China never before explored and ssys
he confirmed the tradition of q race OF
hairy pygmies in those regions. Since
1901 DIR. Cell has been travelling to
study the various primitive races now
accessible, penetrating the pygmy forests
of Central Africa as well as the remote
section of China. His party of twenty
five men with pack mules started. in
May, 1908, along the eastern section of
the great wall. and by September got
TO the northern end of the wall at Khan
ku Iian. north of the Nan Shan noun
tains, a distance of 1000 miles. This
took the explorers into Thibet. The
legend interpreted from inscriptions on
the wall is to the effect that the pygmies
came from a group of people who re-
belled from the horrors of being buried
alive for mistakes on the work of cor
struction, that being the penalty imposed.
The descendants were located by Cell far
in the interior and he left a man TO study
them. He says they live like animals.

WONG HAY MEETS TROUBLE.
Chinaman Marries Denver Jap at

When James Wong Hayes, an edu-
Gated Chinese merchant of Sheridan,
Wyo., married Migie Tommers, a Den
Yer Jap woman at Deadwood Wednes-
day. he little suspected all the trouble
that was brewing. Thursday night he
was one of the central figures in what
may be a white slave case Of interest.
Two months ago X. Inouo, a Jap.
went to Deadwood with two women of
his own race from Denver. Hayes,
whose Chinese name is Wong Hay. be
came enamored of Migie and the mar
riage resulted Wednesday.
Wednesday evening, receiving a tip
that lnouo was looking for the pair
to wreak his vengeance. Hayes and his
bride secured a covered rig and drove
quietly out of town. catching a night
train for the east at Whitewood. They
were apprehended there Thursday
night on a warrant issued by Inouo.
charging them with the larceny of
$500 of his money. and Sheriff Plum
kett has gone there to get them. Men,
bers of the local Chinese colony allege
that Inouo kept the women as objects
of slavery n had no other visible
means of support. and that the woman
took only the money thai she had
earned. Wing Tsu, a Chinese leader
at Deadwood, and uncle of Hayes, will
defend them, and counter arrests are
promised.

NO STATE DIVISION.
Wrong Construction Placed On Circu-
IaiiOn Of d RumOr.

The wrong construction has been
placed by thousands OF persons upon
a dispatch recently sent from Edge
mont. which conveyed the idea that
petitions were being circulated there
asking for q division Of the state. Many
residents, especially OF h eastern
half OF the state. believe IA movement
has been iraugurated at Edgemont
and other points In the Black Hills to
have the state divided. The facts in
the matter are that the Edgcmont dis
patch in question related to the move
ment which has been ~inaugurated to
V what is known as the ongres-
sionai district law, enacted by the leg
isiature last winter. submitted to the
voters Of the state under the referen-
dunn amendment to the state constitu-
ton.
This law divides the state into two
congressional districts. Heretofore the
state has never been SO divided, the
two congresSmen To which South Da-
kota is entitled being elected at large.
Many of the voters are not satisfied
with the boundary line Of the two con-
gressional districts provided for by the
new law. and accordingly are circulat-
ing the petitions for the purpose OF
having the law held up pending it's
submission to the voters of South Da-
kota at the election in November OF
next year.

When word came from the observatory
ut South Kensington, England. last week
that Prof. Pickering of Harvard had dis
covered a new major planet moving in an
orbit beyond that of Neptune it was pop
ularly understood that the discovery was
based upon Photographic evidence. Such
q discovery, however, was promptly denied
by Pickering. No eye and no telescope
has yet seen the new planet, but it is not
denied that its existence has been proved
by Prof. Pickering. He has calculated
its orbit SO as to be able to indicate it's
position this year, and its influence upon
the orbit of Neptune, which is very slight.
This shows that the new planet is rela-
lively small. 1t was the slight wabbling
of Neptune that led to the discovery Of
the new body. This fact had been the
subject of study among astronomers for
years. The discovery of Neptune was
made in this same manner, in 1916. New
ertheless some of the authorities are skep-
teal about the value of Prof. Pickerins's
discovery.
