HAIR WORN BY AMERICAN
WOMEN GROWN IN CHINA
Vice Consul Makes Report of Much
Interest to Society Girls
and Others

WASHINGTON, May 8--While it is
we'll known fact that all the hair dis
played by the American woman in her
handsome and stylish coiffure is not
necessarily her own, it is not so gener-
ally known that much of 1t may nave
been grown in China.
But such would seem to be the case,
according to Vice Consul General Full
Ter at Hongkong, who reports to the
bureau of manufactures that 7,414
pounds of human hair were inVoieed
for shipment to the United States from
that port last year.
The year previous but 56,139 pounds
had been exported to this country, and
then came fashions requiring massive
head-pieces.
In consequence, the women had to
have more hair to fill them, and the
surplus hair of the Celestial kingdom S
four hundred millions at once became
marketable commodity.
"The hair reaches Hongkong from
the Interior" said Consul Fuller, "anG
ia cleaned and sorted according to
length and quality. 1t is then packed
and stored, disinfected and shipped to
New York.
TT is said here that the hair can be
so treated in New York as to alter It's
color and texture, and that it Is used
to make the switches, curls and bangs
so fashionable in the United States at
the present time"

METROPOLITAN ENGINEER
ARRESTED IN SAN DIEGO
Millionaire Mining Man Charged with
Fraud Says Action Is Brought
for Spite

SAN DIEGO, May S.-Charged with
fraud, w. F. Lay, a New York mil
lionaire mining engineer, was arrested
today on a warrant issued by Judge
James C. Rives of Los Angeles. He
was later released on $4,000 bonds
c. j. Laug4llin, jr., of Hartford,
Conn, and Fred c. Carlson and J. H.
Mcleod of San Francisco are the COM
plainants, and, according to their
statements, Lay had been guilty Of
"frenzied loan-making." Lay came to
California, they say, and represented
to them that he could secure the nee
essary capital to develop valuable oil
lands.
Laughlin, Carlson and Mcleod own
land in Kern county. Receipt of a
cablegram from Paris, France, stating
that a French corporation would ad-
vance 50, 500, 900, which Lay had prom
ised the compliments he could secure,
Lay. they say, was advanced $4,000 by
them.
Now they claim the Paris dispatch
was bogus, that Lay never represented
French corporation and that he had
financed" them out of the $4,000
Lay. on the other hand, claims the
charge and his arrest are, in his opin-
ion, a scheme to blackmail him. He
says civil proceedings were started
against him in Los Angeles by the
present complainants, the warrant for
his arrest being issued later.

VERDICT IS GREATER
THAN AMOUNT ASKED
JURY IN ARIZONA CONFUSED
BY EVIDENCE
Contracting Firm of Los Angeles Is
Awarded $1,000 Damages for
Equipment Burned at
Santa Fe Tracks

PHOENIX, Ariz., May s.-A jury
this evening awarded Grant Brothers,
contractors of Los Angeles, damages
against the Santa Fe, Prescott &s
Phoenix Railway company for $9o60,
the amount asked for contracting
equipment destroyed in burning
freight cars during transportation, a
few miles from Wickenberg, in June,
1906. The defense was that no charge
was made for transportation, it being
part of the construction contract, and
that the fire probably started through
contributory negligence on the part of
the plaintiffs agents.
Interest is chiefly centered in the
unusual verdict, which was first re-
turned at $780, more than the amount
asked for. The court had instructed
the jury that the amount asked was
the limit Of it's latitude. The defense
instantly asked for poll of the jury
In responding, one Juryman explained
he was confused, as the figures re-
turned had been stated so often by
witnesses fixing the appraised value of
the destroyed property that he thought
it was the amount prayed for.
Another juror explained that he had
assumed the greater figure was the one
meant by the court in its instructions
and that the court had merely got
confused in delivering its charge.
The defense finally permitted the
jury to retire to return correct ver-
dict for the amount asked, standing
for an appeal on evidence of a pre-
JUDGED jury and other errors.

"FRAT" INITIATION LEADS
TO ARREST OF STUDENTS
Youth Dresses in Woman's Clothes
and Is Escorted Through City
by Comrade

NEW YORK, May S.-The initiation
of Alphonse Lamb and Edward Fitz
gerald into a secret society of the
Columbia University freshman society
led to their arraignment last night on
charges of disorderly conduct. Lamb
had been compelled to dress in a fash
ionable woman's gown. large hat and
high-heeled shoes. Fitzgerald wore
evening clothes and acted as Lambs
escort, while a crowd of initiators fol-
lowed them at a distance through
the streets of Harlem.
When Fitzgerald left Lamb on the
sidewalk to purchase a cigar, an un-
suspecting masher tried to hirt with
Lamb. The masher was knocked down
by the athletic freshman in woman's
garb and the first policeman to arrive
suffered a similar fate.
Fitzgerald joined in the fight and
both were arrested.
In court Magistrate Breen enjoyed
the sport of the collegians, who were
accompanied by the entire freshman
class, and discharged them.
Lamb borrowed policeman's suit in
which to go home.

attorney demanded the contents of the
grand Jury box, which Judge Davis
ruled were inadmissible at this time.
.Then l understand the court denies
me the right to produce the evidence
we have asked for so as to examine
the witness on the evidence that me-
as stenographic reporter, had occasion
to notice." exclaimed Mr.. Appel.
"Your understanding is inaccurate,
said Judge Davis sternly. THE court
has no knowledge that any document
or record in the form of minutes is
available
well" we will proceed the best we
can" remarked the attorney sarcas-
tically. and, turning to the witness,
asked If he was present in the grand
Jury room when Nick Oswald was ex-
amined with reference to the charge
embraced in the indictment against
Broadhead.
Prosecution Again Sustained
"Obteet on the ground that would
be a conclusion of the witness eJac-
ulated Mr.. Fredericks.
rs it a conclusion if he says he was
or was not there?" demanded the at
torney.
Also that it assumes a fact not in
evidence" interjected Mr.. Ford, and
the objection was sustained.
Then ensued a number of questions
relating to the testimony of Nick Os-
valid the Oswald graft books and
other matters in connection with the
vice protection charges investigated by
the grand jury, none OF which was al
lowed to be answered. -,
.tDo you know Joseph Durand?"
asked Mr.. Appel.
The silence following the question,
in striking contrast with the contln-
nous sound of voices during the pre-
ceding hour and a half, seemed to
awaken .he witness from a doze. He
waited a moment for the expected OBJ
lection and replied:
1T has been so long since l heard
a question that 1 almost forgot was
a witness" The question was repeated,
"I don't know him, but l saw man
in the grand jury room who said MS
name was Durand," was the unsats-
factory reply
do you know Walter Parker was
the next question.
ct don't. I know a witness who was
in the grand jury room and said his
name was w. F. Parker. He resem-
bled a man pointed out to me the day
before as Mr.. Parker" said Mr.. Peter
son, still non-committaL
Witness NoncommittaI
The witness responded similarly
when questioned concerning his knowl-
edge of E. J. Fleming. Hector Raba-
gliatt. Paul Blair, the detective, and
District Attorney Fredericks.
when did Mr.. Blair testify?" asked
Mr.. Appel.
"I think you have it in the record"
responded the witness.
mo, OH no." replied the attorney,
taking in court and counsel with a
look of reproach. We are not allowed
to get our hands on any of the records
in this case"
The hearing was then continued to
$3.50 o'clock Monday.

MAYOR INDICTED FOR
LAXlTY IN HIS DUTY
LAW AGAINST SOCIAL EVIL NOT
ENFORCED
Grand Jury Returns True Bill and
Trusts Action viii Bring About
Legislative Act to Con-
troll Vice

TACOMA, Wash, May S.--After hav-
ing assembled five weeks ago, primar.
lily for the purpose of investigating the
red light district, the grand jury COM
pleted it's labors today, submitting its
findings in a comprehensive report
filed with Judge Easterday.
The report in part says:
I'VE have found an indictment against
the mayor of this city for not
enforcing the law against the social
evil. While the law stands as it is, it
is our duty to find such an Indictment,
and we trust that our action in this
matter will result in minimizing the
evil in the city of Tacoma and will
bring about the enactment of some law
by the legislature of this state whereby
this evil may be controlled without
making the officers of the law violators
thereof"

that the senate had not had ample in
formation regarding the schedules Of
the tariff He then spoke in opposition
to a tariff commission.
Tells Why They Laugh
Mr.. Lodge said that what made sena-
tors on the Republican side laugh when
the revenue aspect of duties was dis
cussed by some members of the min
ority, was "the regularity with which
protective duties became revenue du-
ties when they cross the borders of GER
tain states"
Calculating the number of people en-
gagged in trade occupations in the
United States at 100000, the Massa-
chusetts senator declared that including
those who were dependent upon their
wages for support they make up "prac-
tically the whole population" of the ma
ton.
Asserting that the protective system
had been in force in some form since
1916, he insisted that to change it now
would be to bring disaster upon the
nation.
Senator Newlands declared that the
question before congress was a reduc-
tion of duties on imports, which in
volved a variety of information not ac-
cessible to senators.
Mr. Newlands announced his policy
lOi Ill6 eSldDliSHfHenI Oh IL DuTedu III
the interstate commerce commission
which upon complaint could determine
the excessiveness of any duty, accord
ing to a rule to be established by the
law"
Mr. Aldrich, saying that vote on the
lead schedule could not be taken to-
night suggested the senate to adjourn.
Before this action was taken Mr.. Ba-
con referred to the great cotton in
dustry of the south, which, he said,
could not share the benefits of the pro-
tective tariff. He declared the tariff
put on corn was as useless as would
be a tariff on cotton. The section from
which the senator from Massachusetts
came, however, has grown rich by the
operation of a law in which the south
had not shared.

Mrs. c r. Scott, beneath a shower
of 29O birthday post cards, 10 let
ters of greeting, and one telegraphic
message from his six children in Ave
states, and his many friends OF the
past and present. representing 10
states, rom Indiana to Washington,
congratulating him on his safe ar
rival az the lctegenarian cycle.
Some years ago his aged spouse,
who has travelled with him 81 years
in life's journey, conceived the sur
prise, and confiding it to their
daughter. Mrs. Scott, who, entering
zealously into the plan, has been the
presiding genius that brought the
event to such a happy contamination.
Some very unique specimens are TO
be found in the over 800 greetings,
a few of which are worthy of men,
tion. Many OF the post cards had
the picture OF tho sender on the
face side, one of which was the hap
py joy-beaming countenance OF an
old darkey that used 20 work for
Mr.. Pickett in the long ago. Another
was a 3O0O-word typewriter letter
OF "reminiscences from a friend OF 40
years ago, giving a brief historical
synopsi- OF the events happening in
Mr. Pickett's old neighborhood home
in Indiana. Another telegram from
a railroading nephew in California.
Several OF the greetings are original
poems, one from an aged minister,
his former pastor But the most
priced OF all was poem by his wife,
a masterpiece OF its kind What a
host OF memrries OF the past must
food and cheer the souls OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Pickett, as those over 500 greet
ings, some OF them covering a sepa-
ration OF over 40 years are read an
reread.
