Secretary OF War Dickinson, &C
cording TO Washington dispatch, has
instructed Brig. Gen. Aleshire, Quar-
termaster General Of the army, to
send a general letter to all manufac-
turers OF cotton cloth in the country
asking them If they can manufacture
new style of olive drab cotton cloth,
which will probably be adopted by
the government as a substitute for
the khaki cloth now used.
The purpose of the communications
is to ascertain whether or not, if the
cloth is adopted, the department can
procure suitable competition in future
contracts for the new cloth.
Color Washes Out.
There has always been considerable
complaint regarding the present khaki
cloth used by the army. In tropical
countries, especially in the Philip
pines, where there are frequent rains,
it has been found that the dye washes
out and the color gradually fades. In
addition to this defect, it Is heavy and
hot. A majority Of the officers Of the
army and navy enlisted men have pre-
ferred TO use British khaki in their
uniforms because Of It's superiority
over the American cloth About
year ago a howl was raised by Amer
tested against the use of the British
khaki
The khaki now used is dyed after
weaving, and 1t is soaked in a chemi-
cal solution to set the dye. Expert
ence has proved, however, that the
dye is not fast enough for the re-
quiremelts of the army. and some
time ago the officers of the quarter
masters department suggested to the
manufacturers OF khaki cloth that
they experiment in dyeing the cloth
in the fiber before weaving. Several
manufacturers adopted this sugges-
ton, and one of them, the Massachu-
sets Cotton Mills, OF Lowell, Mass,
has succeeded in manufacturing a
quality of cloth which Is far superior
to the one now I'm use.
Difficulty Encountered.
Several other manufacturers, how
ever, have failed, although they have
spent thousands Of dollars. The Diff
Guilty in the manufacture OF the new
cloth is in combining blue, yellow and
olive dyes in the proper proportion to
produce the exact color desired by
the department. These dyes are pat
ented by a German concern, and the
war department has made arrange
ments with the owners of the patents
by which the successful bidders for
future contracts for the new khaki
cloth will have the right to buy the
dyes from the company at the prices
at which they are sold to other con-
sumers.
Only One Bidder.
There is pending before the war de-
partment a contract for S25, 900 yards
of the new cloth, which will not be
awarded until Secretary Dickinson
has received replies to his letters to
the various cotton manufacturers.
When bids were opened several weeks
ago for furnishing this amount Of the
new cloth there was only one bidder,
the Massachusetts cotton mills, which
offered to supply the khaki for Is
cents a yard.
One Of the manufacturers Of the
cloth now used protested against an
award of the contract on the ground
that only one company could manu-
facture the cloth. The replies to the
quartermRster generals letter will
demonstrate whether or not the Mas
sachusetts Cotton Mills can maintain
a monopoly in the manufacture of the
new khaki.

M. cONRADER GETS BACK
HIGHLY PRICED GIFT,

Worried by an accusing conscience,
or baffed by the fact that the watch
which he had stolen bore the name
of the owner, an unknown thief re-
turned the timekeeper to Mrs. H. NJ.
COnTader, Is West Beaver street,
through the mail this morning, says
a Jacksonville special.
The watch, a handsome gold one,
with the chain attached, was stolen
from the Conrader home on May goth.
Mrs. COnrader left it upon the top Of
the bureau in her room, while she
went down stairs for a few minutes.
When she returned the watch was
missing.
The theft was reported to the police
and the lost watch was bulletined in
the daily publication given to each
member of the force. No trace of the
watch could be found, the thief prob
ably being afraid to pawn it because
the name of Mrs. ConTader was en-
graved upon the inside of the back of
the case. as follows: *. z. Conrad
er, 1905" The watch had been a
present to Mrs. Conrader from her
husband, on Christmas, 1905, and for
that reason she priced it highly.
This morning the watch was re-
turned by mail in a neat package.
bearing also a note to Mrs COnrader,
written apparently by a child, or some
one poorly educated, asking simply
that no questions be asked or no ef-
fort made to learn the identity of the
thief. Mr.. Conrader was notified at
his place Of business, and Immediately
informed the police Of the returned
stolen watch.

4 FREAK STORY
TURNS To TRUTH
CLAIMED THAT A CHILD BORN
AT VERNON, FLA, WAS COVER
ED WITH HAIR AND HAD HORNS
AND FEET LIKE A cow.
Inc Seay, Ala Messenger sAySi

The Seay, Ala. Messenger sAysi
The report published In the Mes
senger several days since Of the birth
OF a strang looking child near the
line of Alabama and Florida did not
impress itself upon our people as be-
ing strictly truthful Not that they
doubted the source from when it
came to Troy, but it seemed imDos-
sfble that such a thing could happen
in these days.
But the Messenger Is IN position
to verify the report and add a little
interesting facts to It.
The child (if it can be called a
child, was born and lived several
days. 1t was covered from head to
Foot with hair; It had two short
horns, one over each ear and its feet
were like the hoofs of q COW.
After living several days the child
died. Some think it was murdered.
1t is now in Dothan, where the re-
mains are being embaImed for pres
ervation.
The child was born in Vernon, Fla,
Of black parentage, and its mother
when she saw it asked the doctor to
kill 1t. Being refused, some think il
was murdered.
The story has sounded pretty fishy
all along. but today the story is in
the press dispatches and there can be
no doubt of It,
No doubt some one is having It en-
balmed and Will present 1t over the
in a freak museum.
It Is said that thousands OF ne
groes and many whites have visited
the freak baby in Vernon, Fla, and
that hundreds of negroes are leaving
that section through fear, many
claiming that the devil has come to
