MANUFACTURERS MATERIALS
AMONG HEAVIEST IMPORTS
Bureau of Statistics Notes the Fact,
and Says Exports of Food
Stunts Decline.
wASHINGTC

WASHINGTON, May 24-The April
statement Of the Bureau Of Statistics
shows a marked increase in the importa-
ton of manufacturers materials and a de-
cline in the expectation of food stuffs,
The fifty articles named in the import
list form about two-thirds OF the total
value Of the imports and the fifty articles
named in the export list form about three
tOurths of the total value OF exports.
It. is shown that nearly all articles for
use In manufacturing. including raw silk,
hides and skins India rubber, wool, fibers,
copper. lumber. raw cotton and chemicals
the imports of the month and of the ac-
cumulated months of the year are in ex-
cess of those of the corresponding periods
of last year; that in many of the import
ant manufactures the figures of the pres
ent year exceeded those of last year, but in
foodstuffs the exports of 1909 are in most
cases less in value than those of 1905.

Masauredls
Jury is Being
Drawn Slowly
First Three Talesmen Are P~rejudiced
Against Capital Punishment
and Are Excused.

With the three talesmen examined saying
they had overwhelming prejudice against
capital punishment, the process of getting
a jury to try John MasaVredis began be-
fore Judge Sutton in the district court Mon
day morning.
The trial did not begin until II o'clock
and e seemed doubtful therefore that a
jury would he secured by night.
The prisoner sat between his counsel, j.
M. mcfarland and James Raft, and
watched proceedings attentively. The serv-
ices of an Interpreter will be needed In
the trial. The Greek appeared in excellent
health.
w. H. Dale, who lives in the Majestic
flats; was the first man examined for the
jury. He declared in response TO the
county attorneys question that he would
not Join in with other Jurors in settling on
the death penalty no matter what the evil
dence was, and he was excused for cause
forthwith.
G. Cunningham and Joseph Kurtz. the
next two men, made similar answer and
were likewise released. Harry Kingsbury
1915 Lafayette avenue, declared that he did
not object to the death penalty and while
he had read~of the case had not formed q
definite opinion as to the defendants gull
or innocence. The county attorney asked
him about his previous occupations to his
present one, bookbinding, and then passed
him for cause.
Before the trial began the new jury
panel reported. Thirty-four of the 100 mer
drawn were excused by Judge Sutton. Bust
ness engagements were not allowed as
reason, in but one or two instances, tn,
only excuses permitted being statutory OF

ULTIMATE CONSUMER VICTIM
Some Developments in Discussion Of
Tariff Enlightening.
SPECIAL AGENT TALKS OF OILS
"Pure olive oil from FrRnce'' shown
to BE Really American
Oil, which France Works
over and sends Back.

WASHINGTON, May 24-The ultimate
consumer" the scapegoat of the tariff dis
cussion in congress is being enlightened
on many questions through the publica-
ton Of facts brought out in debate.
Some of this knowledge brings no joy
to the heart of the ultimate consumer"
for he finds that in many instances he has
been deceived. Apropos of the recent dis
cussion In the senate regarding the neces-
sity for protecting the American cotton
seed oil industry, Special Agent Julien l.,
Brode Of the Department of and
Labor has sent from Mar
settles, France. that the American 'uiti-
mate consumer has been using his own
cottonseed oil for his salad dressing in the
belief that it was pure olive OIL from
France. Mr.. Brode adds, In kindly spirit.
that the French pure food law and the
short crop of olives is going to boost the
price of real olive oil for the ultimate
consumer
Those southern senators who opposed the
placing of a duty on cottonseed oil con-
tended the industry needed no protection,
on the ground that there was no competi-
ton abroad, but Mr.. Brode gives a list of
oils that compete with the American oil,
He also contends that cottonseed manu-
facture is strictly an American enterprise,
by declaring that cottonseed was being
crushed in Marseilles when II was being
thrown away in America, France imports
about one-fifth of the cottonseed oil
shipped out of the United States, and Mar
seiles is the largest vegetable oil producer
in the world, having forty-five mills which
crush about As, 900 tons Of seed annually
in addition to the large amount of oil which
is shipped there.
Most of the cottonseed oil is mixed with
; other dissolve, peanut and sesame-and
sold as olive oil" writes Mr.. Bode. "Olivt
OIL, araichade or peanut oil and sesame
oils are the oils most used in competition
with cottonseed oils. Olive oil is in a class
by itself. Good edible grades of other oils
about one-fifth of the octtonseed OF
are bought in preference to the latter ir
the majority of cases"
Mr.. Bode adds that the price of olive OF
is very high. But inasmuch as new div,
oil will not come on the market until De
cember, and the salad, vegetable and fish,
ing season is now on, bringing with II ar
increased demand, it is hardly probabl,
. that a decline will take place. The stric'
French pure food law. which has been y
effect for about a year, is having its ef
feet on the market. Mixed oil was SOLE
formerly as olive oil, but is not so sole
now. This further curtails the supply anC
confines the demand more directly to thu
best grades of olive OIL"

TELEPATHY LIKE WIRELESS
TELEGRAPHI, SAYS SCIENTIST
Messages Only Received by Persons
Susceptible TO impulse, says
Prof. l.. A. WeItmeF.

Prof. l.. A. WeItmeF.
Before an audience that filled the Lyric
theater 10 the doors, Prof. g.. A. Weltmer,
representing the Boston Society Of scien-
tific Research, delivered a lecture upon
"Telpathy," last night. He spoke OF the
many instances on record Of persons who
received impressions from friends and rel
atives ON the battlefield, especially during
the civil war. The impressions, he said,
were usually connected with suffering.
He compared telepathy with wireless TEL
egraphy. and said: we do not know az
much about telepathy as we do about tel
egraphy." He explained how experiments
were being made by a number OF mel in
terested in the science and said the best
results obtained were in messages received
from South Africa, Australia and southern
India.
"Telepathy,a he said. rs similar TO the
wireless telegraph in that it probably af-
fects the ether or some other element more
sensitive even than that, and so the mes
sage is only received by persons who make
themselves SUSCEPTIBLE 10 the impulse. Just
as a wireless instrument has to be ad-
justed TO the sending one. Luther Bur
bank asserts that he has not only received
messages from people, but has also COM
inundated with plants and flowers all over
the country
The lecture was the first Of a series Of
three TO be held at the Lyric theater. To-
night he will talk on therapeutic Sug-
g~estion.'' and Tuesday night upon Psychic
Phenomena"
