Oriuin of White Race.

The discussion of the precise locality
where the primitive man developed
into the white race is by no means
settled as yet. The old theory that the
Aryan or white race began in Asia
is still held by many high authorities.
but other authorities equally nigh
maintain that the original white
mans country" was Europe and that
from Europe the race spread to other
parts of the world. 1t is safe to say
has not yet been spoken. The debate
is still open and viii probably remain
so for a very long time TO come:-New

Washington, Dec. 2S.-When the

pounds of dynamite.
Each of the 20,640 cases Of fifty

passed it up to a third, by whom 1t was
set on long skid and allowed to slide
toward the dock. No attempt was
made at pitching the cases from one
man to the other. A wide-awake man
was stationed at the end of the slide

MASKING WILL
Be ABOLISHED
All Wisconsin Joins in War on
the Nuisance.
STARTED BY zYNDAY MURDER

Ordinances Before the City Council OF
Milwaukee Provide for Penalty OF
Not Less Than 500 Fine for Men
Who Insult Women on the Streets
Will be Enforced in Other Cities
Where MASKING Practice Has Been
in Vogue.
Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 25.-The en-
tire state is joining in the war on
MASKING, begun in Milwaukee as a re.
suit of the Zynday murder case, in
which fourteen year old girl was &C.
costed, attacked, and murdered by men
who met her on the street. Two or
dinances are in the hands Of city coun-
ell committees now, and both provide
for penalty of not less than 500 fine
for men who insult women on the
streets or who accost strangers.
The ordinances are being copied in
several cities where MASKING has been
in vogue, Fond du Lac being the latest
to join in the campaign. The Milwau-
kee police practically have stopped the
abuse, though with little license to act
under the law. The law as it stands
at present only allows an arrest for
disorderly conduct with a limit fine OF
$25.
The police, however, have brought
charges of assault with intent to dc
great bodily harm and assault and bat
terry against men who have spoken to
girls. even when the girls have not
been touched, and the men have been
given heavy fines under these charges,
though if they appealed the decisions
could not stand.
The new law will make it possible to
inf1ict the same punishment legally. II
is expected that practically every city
in the state soon will have passed sim.
liar ordinances.

end in view Inspector McCafferty.
head of the New York detective bu-

authorities in the principal cities of
the country asking that increased
activity be exerted against all
"Black Hand" suspects. Immediate
orders were given to arrest at once
all men in New York City who are
believed to have connection with
"Black Hand" operations.
Petrosini's murderer, who was q
member of the "Black Hand" fired
four shots from a revolver. Petro-
SIM arrived in Sicily only a short
time ago and was engaged in con-
Quoting an investigation regarding
Italian criminals.
Inspector McCafferty said Satur.
day that he was anxious to know
whether Petrosini had been robbed
after being shot. He intimated that
Petrosini had some papers valuable
to the police here in running down
Black Hand and other Italian offend

A ~cablegram from Palerma Italy

PREPARING FOR ROOSEVELT
Darkest Africa" Will Welcome the *
President With Open Arms.

Mombasa, East Africa, By Cable
Mombasa is preparing already to well
come Theodore Roosevelt when he
lands here the latter part of next
month on his much-heralded African
trip, and the coming of the former
president of the United States has
given a decided impetus to the inter
est in the present hunting season. The
governor of the pr~otectorate, Lieut..
Col. Sir James Sadler, is getting up
entertainment for the distinguished
visitor, but In spite of these arrange
ments, the greeting to Mr.. Roosevelt
will be more to the great sportsman
whose fame is well known to local
hunters than to the former president.
East African spertsmen were high
" gratifed to learn that Mr.. Roose-
had refused the offer of the authori-
ties to grant him a special hunting
license that would have permitted him
to kill game to an unlimited extent
instead of combining himself to the
two elephants, two rhinoceroses, two
hippopotami, etc. Lions and leopards
are classed as vermin and consequent
ly no license to kill them is required.
The white population of Mombasa
has heard much of Mr. Roosevelt's
personality and in a joking way
frequent references to the "big
stick" are being made.
The prospects for good hunting this
season are considered excellent. Many
settlers in the outlying districts, real
izing the increasing interest in the
prospects for good sport because of
the coming of Mr.. Roosevelt, are vol
