Spokane, Wash, April 3O.-C. p.
Hallet. storekeeper OF Spokane, has
come itno possession of lock of iron
grey hair cut from Andrew Jackson's
head after the battle of New Orleans
in 1916. His mother, Mrs. M. A. Hal

ceived the relic in 1S4S, as a present
from Mrs. Donelson, wife of Andrew
Jackson Donelson. nephew OF "Old
Hickory" with double page of black

scription:

Mrs. Donelson reigned as mistress at
Jackson's term as president, when her
and confidential adviser.
Mrs. Hallett died near St. Paul in
1889, when the relic was handed to
her eldest son. who In turn passed it
to the Spokane man.
MY father was intimately acquaint-
ed with Andrew Jackson" said Mr..
Hallett. He was chairman of the
committee which greeted old Hick-
ory' on his return to the Hermitage at
Nashville, after retiring as president.
My father was the first man to shake
hands with the general when he ar
rived in Nashville on the steamer
Buckeye, on which he made the jour-
ney up the Cumberland river"
Mr.. Hallett added that he would not
part with the relic for fortune, but
intends to make some provision for its
preservation after he Is gone, when it
probably will go to one OF the histori-
cal societies in Tennessee. He init

The Department Of Justice Is Nov In Calcium

Not Generally Noticed by the Public

Justice. When case is prepared by

Immediately hands the evidence col
lected by his men to Attorney General
Wickersham. who together with the
Assistant Attorney general, determine
whether or not the government has =
case to prosecute. When the ques-
ton is determined, the assistant at
torney general in charge goes to the
place where the prosecution is to be
held, and after a conference with the
local district attorney grand jury is
empanne1led and the case investigat-
ed. If indictments are returned and
the accused, who have been under
constant surveillance by the depart
ment of justice men are arrested. The
procedure OF the case is then mat
ter of court record. When the trial
is commenced one of the assistant at
torney generals Of the department of
Justice presecutes the case, in con-
junction with the local district attor-
ney.
One case just finished which has ta-
ken more than one year to complete,
was the night rider case, involving
about 500 citizens of Kentucky. Sew
era lagents of the department of jus
tice lived in the affected district for
months before a hint that the federal
government was Investigating condi-
tons there, leaked out. AS enough
evidence had by that time been col
lected by these men, they returned to
Washington to report the result of
their work to Mr.. Finch. Several
weeks later indictments were return
ed by grand jury after a speedy
trial the accused men were convicted.
The department, however, has not
stopped it's investigation on securing
the conviction of these men, but on
the contrary is continuing its investi-
cation of other alleged might rider"
outrages.
In this way, the investigating
squad" has come to be an essential
feature of the administrations poll

Within the past month Secretary OF

these matters. Mr. MacVeagh and Mr..

come frequent visitors at the treasury
department and the department of
justice. Just what these interviews
resulted in no one who knew about
them is willing to say. They evade
questions by saying that everything
will be made public when the proper
time arrives.
The business of he office is held
in strict confidence in each case that

A Dutch diplomatist by my side ex-

What a happy coincidence to hear
my people celebrating the birthday OF

the hope OF Hollands future and at
the same time is welcoming Colonel
Roosevelt, who symbolizes to Europe
hope of democratic millions of contin-

The same sentiment was heard In

Colonel Roosevelt's enormous mail

sentiment. A German tailor wrote
saying that an American owed him q

his countryman paid up. The same

Cincinnati Butcher Says that
Meat is as Low as Posi-
BILE at Present.
RlDlcULEs COOPERATION
AGREES TO TURN HIS SHOP OVER
TO STRIKERS FOR THIRTY
DAYS TO PROVE HIS AsSER-
TONS.

Cincinnati. April so.-AH the kosher
butchers are not agreed that the
meat strike" is going to win. Some
laugh at the plan for a cooperative
shop that will dispense meats at pri-
ces to the liking of the consumer. D..
Misrach, 1910 Central avenue, is one
of these. Speaking of Abraham Ma
son, the leader of the strike" move
ment, Misrach said: IF Mr.. Mason's
facts were as good looking as his pic
ture that was published the other
night. the cause in which he is fight
ing might win. But they are not. He
did not inform himself properly before
he entered this movement. He should
have gone among the butchers and
studied conditions before calling them
Jewish robbers For instance, he
says the wholesale price off meat has
advanced one cent pound and the
retail price three cents. The fact is
that the wholesale price has adyanc-
ed three cents and the retail price
only two cents. When he calls this
robbery on the part of the butchers
it is very evident he knows not where
of he speaks.
THE proposition for a cooperative
butcher shop is amusing. 1 want to
make this proposition to Mr.. Mason:
He can have the store OF Misrach,
rent free and help free. for thirty
days, sell meat at the prices he pro-
poses and see whether at the end of
that period he can pay the bills. AS
for the Independent shops. have on
ly to say that the Jewish women
would rather go to the regular butch
ers where they know they will get
meat that is strictly kosher and clean
and where they know they get honest
weight"
