GUARANTEE FREER MOVEMENT OF
 COMMERCE
AGREEMENT REACHED CONCERN. ING CoNTRABAND or WAR
 ON NEUTRAL SHIPS.
MAY SCRUT|NzE ONLY PAPERS
CARGO MAY BE SUNK IF CARRY ING MORE THAN FIFTY PER
 CENT CoNTRABAND.

CHICAGO, March 15.-A freer move ment of neutral commerce in time of war will be the principal result of the agreement reached at the secret naval conference recently concluded in Lon don, according to special cable to the Daily News from London today.
 The Daily News correspondent ad- vises that the main points of agreement are:
 "That definite list of articles of eontraband of war be made; that food, stuffs will be contraband in neutral ships only directly consigned to mili. tary forces for countries at war"
 The right of bloekading is recognized if notification is given in advance and all neutral vessels coming within the zone of the blockade may be seized Beyond the blockade neutral vessels carrying contraband may be confiscated or sunk if the amount of contraband articles exceeds 50 per cent of the car, go.
 The right of search upon the high seas haS been limited to ship papers and no matches may be lifted. If the captor is convinced that despite the papers, more than 30 per cent of con. traband is carried, the ship may be conveyed into port and search made In this event if the contraband is found not to exceed 50 per cent, the captor is liable to heavy damages to be as sessed by a naval prize court.
 The burden of proof of eontraband lies with the eaptors. This makes most difficult the sinking of neutral vessels, even if full of contraband, since when the ships are sunk, only their papers will remain as evidence for the prize courts, and these on their face may show that no contraband foods were carried.

LEAVENWORTH, Kas., March 15.- In prison at Huntsville, Texas, under the name of Charles l.. Tompkins, ', is man who has surrendered himself fer love of woman, who is heiress to rich estate.
 He appeared before the warden and stated that he had escaped twenty five years ago, having still year to serve. The prison records showed that Charles l.. ''ompkins had been sent to the pris- on from Bastrop county at the time mentioned, and that the man had es- caped before he had completed his sen tence.
 The warden ordered his visitor to be shaved and put in stripes. and he was assigned to cell An easy berth was made for him. He was assigned to clerical work, for which he was well qualified.
 It is doubtful if the maid is fully aware of her lover $ entire history, for during the twenty-five years he has been outside of the Texas prison he has served two terms in the Federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, each time having been sent mp for counterfeiting, but under a different name.
 It is said that his decision to sur render to the Texas authorities was brought about by his love for Miss Catherine Cartwright, the beautiful heiress to milliondollar estate in l'ecos county, Texas. Fearing that he nnght be recognized and torn from her arms shnnla he marry her, he decided to confess to her that he was an escaped convict, having been sent to prison for forgery of a check which, he said had been done while he was under the in fiuence of drink.

GROWTH OF THE HUMAN HAIR
Interesting Facts Gathered by scIen.
tIst-Averase Strand Has
Much Elasticity.

A single hair, which can support
a weight of two ounces, is 10 elastic
that it may be,stretched to one-third
Of its entire length and then regain
is former size and condition. DR..
Pincus has measured the growth of
hair by cutting of circles about one
inch in diameter from the heads of
healthy men, and SO comparing the
growth Of the patches with that Of
the rest Of the hair. He found that
the growth rate generally became
slower after cutting; that in some
cases the .dIion patches grew at the
same rate az the rest, but that it
never grew any faster.
The ordinary length of the hair
on the head ranges between 20 inch
es and about IS inches, the latter be-
ing considered unusually long. 1t
has been calculated that the hair Of
the beard grows at the rate Of one
line and a half week; this will
give length Of 61a inches in the
course Of year. For a man so years
Of age, who has been clean shaver
from early maturity, no less than
~ feet Of beard must have fallen be-
fore the edge Of the razor.
