A Chance to Make Money

By request we reprint the following: l

stead and is now getting a regular In
come OF over 1920 year from the sale
Of bananas. am glad to say that know
this can be done. You can get Home
stead in Mexico free and do not have to
live on 1t. All that is required is to have
900 banana trees planted within five
years, and the improvement department
will prepare the land, supply and plant
the trees and care for them until they
come into bearing for about $500. You
can pay this in installments of IS month.
and iu three years after your trees are
planted they will bling you a profit Of
more than 500 each year, II you super
intend the work; but If you wish the I'm
provement Department will care for the
trees and market your bananas contin-
uously, so you will not nave to be in
Mexico at all; they get one-third of the
crop for attending to and marketing the
bananas This will give you a profit of
more than $1,000 a year from an invest
ment of about $780, If you act as your
own superintendent you can make $500
a year more. I know this from my own
experience. IT is a delightful country,
never hot, never cold. and the health con-
ditions are perfect. For full information

ROTTEN JURY LIST
|. PROBED IN CHICAGO
Twenty Eight Judges Listen to
Fiery Arrangement by States
Attorney of Commissioners
Who Are Now Under Arrest.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-In all of the courts
of Chicago except the municipal court,
where minor police cases are cared for,
the wheels of justice were at standstill
for an hour this forenoon, while the
Judges began an investigation of the
charge of irregularity in the office of the
jury commissioners.
Twenty-eight judges, presided over by
Judge Cutting, OF the probate court, list
ened to an impassioned arraignment by
States Attorney Wayman of the methods
which he alleged have been employed in
drawing juries.
He averred that names drawn by lot
for jury service were fraudulently dis
placed in the jury commissioners ofice
by names Of men acceptable to those in a
conspiracy to defeat the ends of justice.
Whole venires were tainted, he declared,
by this method, even the grand jury suf-
fering.
wAYMAN WATCHED DRAWING.
The states attorney is said to have been
watching the drawing of venires for some
time, but his sensational action of Satur-
day, when he caused three arrests, is said
to have been based on the confession OF
"squealer"
Those arrested were John ]. Holland,
secretary and member of the Jury COM
mission; Wills J. Raypurn, real estate
dealer, and Nicholas j. Martin. secretary
to Alderman Michael Ciinkey Dink) Ken
ma. All are under bonds.
ASKS FOR SPECIAL FUND.
Mr.. Wayman will ask for special fund
of $4,000 for use in the case. Mr.. Way
man said to reporters:
zone thing told the judges was about
the bomb jury when ia union men were
called. / told them that it was very
strange that if I was trying union man
lot of union men were called for jury
service, and that if was trying crook
ed banker a lot of crooked bankers were
called into the box. There's something
rotten in Denmark"

HAzERs THROW STUDENT
IN FURNACE; HE WILL DIE

CRANSTON. r. l., Sept. H.-As the re-
suit Of hazing by upper classmen at the
Edgewood High school. Maxwell Harri-
son. 14-year-old son Of Rev. Zachariah
Harrison. pastor of the Second Free Bap-
fist church. freshman in the school, is so
seriously injured that he is not expected
to live.
From the story of young Harrison It
appears that Tuesday night he was way
laid by a dozen hazers. who dragged him
TO the entrance of the air box Of the
school furnace and showed him in bodily.
He fell about eight feet. and as he fitted
tightly inside the shaft. he was unable to
climb out.
Although suffering severe pains from
the injuries caused by his fall. he crawled
and wormed himself through the long,
dark air tunnel. which passed under the
floor of the basement only to find him
self finally up against the CRATE of the
burning furnace. Being unable to turn
around in the confined space, he suffered
terribly from the heat, until the hazers
finally were able to rescue him.

NO PEOPLE IN MARS, rs
LAST SCIENTIFIC WORD

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.-"There is
no single scrap of evidence that Mars is
inhabited. The so-called canals and ether
markings 1 do not regard as evidence OF
mans work. 1t is possible that specks
looking like clouds have been seen at
widely separated periods. perhaps months
apart, but they are not clouds"
In these words Director Campbell, of
Lick observatory. in an interview dis
puted the assertions OF various scientists
that observations of Mars indicated that
it is peopled as is our earth.
Professor Campbell contends that the
famous canals of Schipareln are not
handiwork: that there is no marian cloud
system; that little. If any. watery vapor
exists around Mars, and that the exist
ence of polar caps does not prove the
presence Of water on Mars.
81 need only say" concluded Professor
Campbell, that an observer outside of
the earth. looking down would see sea-
sonal changes quite as well before tine
advent Of man as afterward."

SAYS MOON PROVES
PEARY WAS WRONG
Explorers Claim Is Disproved,
Italian Astronomer Says, by
Fact That Luminary Couldn' t
Be Seen at Certain Time.

ROME, Sept 20.-According to the as
tronomer, Signor Francesca Faccia da
Schio, of Bergamo, the moon absolutely
disapproves Commander Peary's claim to
having discovered the pole. In his dis
patch to the New York Times, the explor-
er states that on April 6. having accom-
plished the six stages he had planned, he
was favored with an opening in the clouds
which permitted him to take astronCmi-
cal observations.
From these he established his position
as latitude SO degrees 81 minutes. Signor
Faccia points out, however. that unques-
tionably accurate astronomical calcula-
tions show that with the horizon at IS
degrees 81 minutes, the moon could not
be seen at the time indicated by Com
mander Peary, because from midday,
April 8, Paris time, or o'clock central
standard time, the declination of the moon
became negative-that is to say, the moon
was below the equator, which is the nat
ural horizon OF the pole. ....-..
On this day, and for the days following,
the moon sank still lower below the equa-
tor ana at midnight of April 6, Paris time
that is to say, o'clock in the afternoon,
American time-the moon was already
l-2 degrees below the equator.
Signor Faccia denies that refractton
on the horizon could have rendered the
moon visible, and he adds that no sailor
would dare even in normal atmospheric
conditions, to determine his latitude by
the stars on the horizon.

TELLS DOCTORS THEY
MUST BE EXAMPLES

CHICAGO. Sept. H.-Doctors who are
not living examples of morality to their
patients, those who chew and smoke. and
drink beer. especially in the presence II
children. were exercised last night by H
S. Aurand, president of the Chicago
Homeopathic Medical society, at a meet
ing of the society. In addition to his
criticism of doctors who neglect to set
examples of right living for their patients,
he deprecated the tendency on the part OF
certain members of the profession to mix
up In the speculative world and act as
agents in business transactions fer their
patients.
He deplored the tendency to exact fancy
fees, asserting that 1t was rot ideal for
the physician to base his charges on the
benefits derived or on the wealth of the
patients He discouraged the amalgama-
ton of doctors and ministers IN the psych-
ic healing movements that are springing
up all over the coutry, and cautioned the
medical profession as individuals not to.

MASSEY rs ATTACKED
BY R. E. DUNNINGTON

r. E. Huntington, who about one month
ago held the police of Augusta at bay
for several days and finally escaped with
his father and came to Atlanta, added
another sensational chapter to his career
when he attacked w. c. Massey, of the
Massey Reporting agency. in the Fourth
National bank building and came near
killing him.
Immediately following the attack, Dun

left the city. Every effort to locate him

Of Justice of the Peace Ridley. before
whom a warrant was sworn out by Mr..
Massey, had failed up 10 a late hour
Saturday night.
Some days ago Huntington was given
employment doing some typewriting for
the Massey agency. Saturday afternoon
he and Mr.. Massey had some words re-
garding the work and Huntington as
saulted him.
Mr.. Massey overpowered the man for a
moment but for a moment only. Quick
as a flash Huntington seized a ram-roG
which had been sharpeneG at the point,
and stabbed Mr.. Massey several times in
the head. Although bleeding prorusely
from his wounds Mr.. Massey succeeded in
getting the ram-rod out of the man S
hands and bent 1t douDIe. Huntington
then bolted for the door and escaped, 1t
is said.
AS soon as his wounds had been dress
ed Mr.. Massey reported the matter to
Captain Jet of the police force and sew
eral men were detailed to look for Dun
nington. At his boarding house, AZ Trim
ity avenue, they were informed he had
left town.
Mr. Massey also swore our a warrant

tional charges against the management of
the institution. He charged all kinds of

tients, and II was largely on his state
ments that the recent investigation was
based.
About a month ago Huntington showed
symptoms of returning insanity and an
effort was made to take him to the asy-

ENGLISH SUFFRAGETTES
STONE THE POLICE

BIRMINGHAM. Sept. 1S.-Premier
Asquith last night addressed a great
demonstration here. He declared that
the house of lords was impotent in
finance and that the Liberals were eager
for a fight should the house Of lords
venture to reject the budget.
The meeting was remarkable because
of the frenzied behavior of the suffra-
gettes, who threw toy bombs and
welded axes during the proceedings.
Two of the women climbed to the roof
of a building adjacent to Bingley hall,
where the meeting was held and loos-
ened tiles and bricks with axes and
pelted the police below. Several per-
sons were hurt. The suffragettes Were
dislodgd only with the aid OF the fire
hose.
