Use Rice Straw
For Paper Pulp

Rice straw for paper pulp is the
latest move, according 70 the Chat
tanooga Tradesman. If the tests
prove out every rice planter along
the south Atlantic coast, from Char
lesion to St. Marys, viii be benefited
by the new market created for rice
straw, which is now a waste by prod
uct.
Says The Tradesman of the new
industry:
"Advices from Port Arthur, Tex,
say that under the direction of Mr..
John w. Gates a special engineer has
been dispatched to that place to Sc
lect a location for a rice straw pulp
mill. II is understood that the engi-
neer's mission is to select a location
for a paper mill of large capacity to
be operated in connection with the
pulp mill Both propositions will be
reported on and it is probable that
both industries will be built and op-
Grated as one plant.
The sending of this special engi-
neer to Port Arthur by Mr.. Gates is
the result, it is asserted, of inyesti-
cations that have been in progress
for some time concerning the value Of
rice straw for paper-maldng. The
amazing possibilities of utilizing this
product which heretofore has been
wasted. are just beginning to be
realized.
1T is realized that within a few
years all of the hundreds of thou
sands Of tons Of rice stray that are
now annually wasted viii be convert
ed into paper and Port Arthur as
pires to be the home of the principal
paper mill to utilize the product of
subsidiary pulp mills throughout the
rice belt

PRETTY WOMAN
WAS MURDERED
FOR HER MONEY
THAT is NOW THE THEORY IN
THE SATIoNAL MARY
LAND MURDER.
Churches Refuse to Bury Body of
Eastman and He is Inferred as a
Pauper-contents of His Letter
Made Public.

ST. Michaels, Nd, June 20. BY the
discovery in Baltimore pawnshop
today OF diamond rings and Oriental
brooches belonging to Mrs. May Woo
dill, the police are convinced there IS
no truth in tAe story OF Lame Bob"
Eastman, that Mrs, Woodill was killed
by being nit over the head with a
bottle by another jealous woman, Vino
was member OF the melrymaking
party in Eastman's bungalow. The
man who pawned the jewels for $500
answers Eastman's description. Money
to the amount of 5000, which the wo-
man had, is also gone
A strange odor emanating from
Eastman's bungalow will cause the
police to dig up ground in the yicin-
ity.
A. S. Rosenthal, representing Mrs.
Ida Ecstein, surety ON the bond of
Eastman, which he jumped, tried to
secure the body for which a $1,50O
reward was offered to turn 1t over to
the New York authorities, but the
local police refuse to give it up.
ST. Michaels, Md, June 26.-With-
out ceremony, and in most unos-
tentatious manner, the body of Robert
II. Eastman, Lame Bob" the New
York stock broker, and man alleged
to have killed Mrs. Woodill, and then
committed suicide, was buried this
afternoon at the expense of Talnot
county.
The farm near Bozeman, where
Eastman made his home during his
brief stay in this county and in the
bungalow, in which place the tragedy
took place, was the scene of the bur
ial. No church here would permit
the body of the suicide to be buried
within its graveyard, and the authori-
ties were forced to seek resting
place for it on the farm of the man
himself. -
That the dead man was really "Lame
Bob Eastman, a fugitive New York
broker, is now established beyond all
question Of doubt, for the body was
positively identified by Louis b. Ped
Ter. of Washington
Pedler is cousin of Winnie Brad
combe, the New York actress, who
il turns out, is the vile OF Eastman,
and to whom he addressed letter in
which he charged that woman kill
ed Mrs Woodill
The story of a drunken row told
by Eastman in his letter to his wife,
has caused speculation here, and eff
forts are being made to locate mem

sons who are said to have left here
