FAIR WOMAN'S PICTURE
IN SUICIDES EFFECTS
Mother of Young Radford Orders
That His Body Be Sent to
San Francisco

Telegraphic communication from Mrs.
w. H. Radford of San Francisco,
mother of william oliver Radford, who
committed suicide in a rooming house
on East Third street Friday night,
was received by Bresee Brothers un-
dertaking establishment yesterday re-
questing that the body of her son be
prepared for shipment north for in
terment. The telegram further stated
that definite arrangements would be
made today.
A picture of beautiful blonde wo-
man was found among Radford's ef-
fects yesterday by the coroner, which,
from several references made to it in
the dead mans diary, the coroner be-
lieves to be that of ''Nell," the woman
Radford was in love with and wrote
of in his last living moments. There
is no means of Identification on the
picture, the only mark on it being the
words "Yours lovingly" written across
the bottom Of it. There is no means
of telling whether or not it is the
photograph of Mrs. N. G.. Busch, 3943
South jefferson street, st. Louis, the
woman whom Radford mentioned in
his diary as the object of his affec-
tions.
Investigation at the address given In
st. Louis brought forth the informa-
ton that there is no one of the name
given living there. 1t is the home of
some people named Busch, but there
are no children in the family and no
one known to them with the initials
IN. G."
1t is thought probable that personal
representatives of the Radford family
will arrive in Los Angeles today and
accompany the body of the dead man
to his parents home in San Fran

TEXAS CUETIVATES
D|SHRAC GOURDS
Fiber of Plant Transferred from
Germany Utilized for Making
Coarse Cloth
Especial to The Herald)

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. IL
Gourds, not exactly the old fashioned
kind that we drank out of at the we'll,
but homebred variety called the dish
rag gourd, is the newest industry to
develop in Texas and hold out big
possibilities of profit.
Albert Schwenke, formerly Of Ger
many, now located in Harris county
on the Gulf coast. is the farmer who
has demonstrated the possibilities Of
the dishrag gourd. The fiber of this
gourd is extensively used in Germany
for manufacturing the coarser forms Of
crash and burlap. The available sup
ply is limited to Japan and Africa, and
in these countries certain pests having
attacked the gourd the German manu-
facturers are up against shortage In
the crop.
Mr. Schwenke found out by cores
pondence that six million pounds were
needed to supply these manufacturers,
so he started in to experiment. by
cross colonization he produced a prod
uct splendidly adapted to Texas con-
ditions. A year or two of experimental
ton has proved that no insects at
tack this plant and that it flourishes.
The gourds grow from Is to 20 inches
long and for gourd this size the Ger
man manufacturers pay three cents.
GOURDs GROW LUXURIANTLY
Mr.. Schwenke says he has been able
to grow about three thousand plants
to the acre and that by pinching off
the smaller gourds each plant Will pro-
duce ten gourds of the required size.
This makes 10000 gourds to the acre,
which at three cents a piece produces
the handsome sum of $500.
Prof H. Nees, the state horticultur-
ist, reports that he examined the gourd
plantation and found the plants trained
on trelises 18 or 20 inches apart in
rows and connected by a line of one
by four and built on posts II feet high
connected by perpendicular wires for
the plants to run on.
He reports that the dry weather did
not seem to affect the plant and that
the product by first tearing off the
rind and then sleeping in a vat is
easily prepared for market, the fiber
being separated from the pulp and the
seed.
Prof. Nees also reports that no great
capital is necessary to engage in this
industry, the cheapest and simplest
agricultural implements being used In
the cultivation and the crop Is very
easy to harvest, being large and easily
picked. No costly storehouse is re-
ouired and the product can be kept any
length of time without spelling. There
Is no duty on the import Of dishrag
gourds in Germany, freight charges
amounting to SIS for 2240 pounds, and
as the fiber is very light the freight
charge is a small item. The gourd
grows on poor and apparently neglect
ed land, preferably with clay subsoil;;
Prof. Nees believes the industry will
grow to great dimensions in this coun-
try.

NO CHANCES FOR WAR,
SAYS JAPANESE BISHOP

Bishop Y. Honda, the only native
Japanese bishop of the Methodist
church, gave an eloquent address at
the morning service yesterday at the
First Methodist church, in which he
stated that to his mind there was not
the slightest possibility of war
between Japan and the United States.
Bishop Honda gave an interesting
account Of the condition of the Chris
tian churches In Japan at the present
time and gave detailed account OF
the organization of all the Methodist
churches in Japan, of the Methodist
church Of Canada, of the Methodist
Episcopal church and the Methodist
church south, into what is now known
as the United Methodist church OF ia
pan and of which he Is the presiding
bishop.
Bishop Honda said that fully one
fourth of the commercial affairs of ia
pan are connected with those OF the
United States and that in the inter-
ests of commerce alone war would be
next to an impossibility. He paid an
eloquent tribute to the work done by
the United States in that country.

An Alaskan Luncheon.

Runners of woven Indian basketry,
with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the 12 covers, were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle Of the
table mirror held tall central vase
of frosted glass, surrounded by four
smaller vases, all filled with white
spring blossoms. The edge Of the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards were water colors Of
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells held
salted nuts, and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons. The soup spoons were
of horn, several of the dishes used
were made by Alaskan Indians, and
the cakes were served on baskets.
The menu was as follows: Poisson
a la Bering Sea (halibut chowder),
Yukon climbers (broiled salmon, po-
tatoes Julienne), snowbirds avec
auroraborealis (roast duck with jelly),
Shungnak river turnips, Tanana
beets, Skagway hash (salad), Fair
banks nuggets (ripe strawberries ar
ranged on individual dishes around

City delights (small cakes), Klondike
nuggets yellow cheese in round balls
on crackers), Nome firewater (coffee).

Vivid at Least.

Dr.. Hiram G. Cortlandt, the we'll
known theologian of Des Moines, said
in a recent address: -.
Thomas A. Edison tells us thatshe
thinks the soul is not immortal; but
after all, what does this great wizard
know about souls? His forte is elec.
tricity and machinery, and when he
talks of souls he reminds me irresist-
IDLY of the young lady who visited the
Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how locomotive Is made.
"'you pour she said, "a lot of sand
into a lot of boxes. and you throw old
stove lids and things into furnace.
and they you empty the molten stream
into hole in the sand, and everybody
yells and swears. Then you pour it
out and let 1t cool and pound 1t, and
then you put it in thing that bores
holes in 1t. Then you screw 1t to-
gether, and paint 1t, and PUT steam in
1t, and 1t goes splendidly; and they
take It to a drafting room and make
a bluep rint of 1t. But one thing for
got-they have to make boiler. One
man gets inside and one gets outside.
and they pound frightfully; and then
they tie IL to the other thing, and you
ought to see 1t gop"

An Unnecessary Confession.

A hearty laugh was occasioned at
the Birmingham police court by a pris-
oner who gave himself away in very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one of being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped into the
dock, however, Just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
a few Of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning, and a
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer list OF his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
officer read out about dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one "shopbreaking" the prisoner ex-
claimed excitedly, THAT was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone be-
gan to laugh, and the prisoner, realiz-
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side Of the matter,
and broad smile spread over his face.
His blunder did not cost anything

TWO Very Old Ladies.

We have heard great deal lately
about long-lived people, but 1t is prob
able that the Oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
ary 21, 17S5. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however. is nine months
her senior, having been born in May,
1884.
She is still fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her a joint allowance. She lives
at the village of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those Of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

Rankera and Bank Notes.

Four men, three of whom were con-
nected with brokerage concerns in the
Wall street district, were discussing
United States paper currency and the
disappearance Of counterfeits. 1--WE
are so sure nowadays" said one Of
the party, "as to the genuineness Of
bills that little attention Is paid to
them in handling, except as to de-
nomination" To prove his assertion
he took $40 yellowback from his
pocket, and, holding 1t up. asked who
could tell whose portrait 1t bore. No
one knew, and by way Of coaching
the broker said it was the first treas
urer of the United States. Again no
one knew the name. "Why. It's
Michael Hillegas,". said the man
proudly. "But in confidence, I'll tell
you, I didn't know 1t five minutes

Too Ardent a Lover.

Georgotto Fontano, an embroiderer
who lives In the Rue Sevres In Paris,
has found herself condemned to a
months Imprisonment for what seems
to her a harmless act.
She was going home from concert
q few evenings ago when she decided
she would like to see her f1ance. AS
he happens to be fireman whose
station Is in her own neighborhood 1t
occurred to her 1t would be very easy
to summon him to her side by break
ing the glass of the fire alarm and
sounding call.
She did so anr in few moments
fire engines came from several direc-
tions, all laden with firemen, of course,
but alas! her f1ance was not among
them, and more than that all the fire.
men were angry, and before she knew
what had happened she was taken to
a magistrate, who proceeded to make
the course of true love run unsmoothly
by sending her to prison for a month
in spite of her tears and protests that
she thought 1t would be simple way
Of bringing her fiance to her side.

PLANTING Wedding oaks.

Princess August Wilhelm, wife Of
the kaiser's fourth son, has set herself
the task Of reviving one Of Germanys
oldest customs, that according to which
newly welded couples Immediately af-
ter the marriage ceremony plant cou-
pie of oak saplings side by side in a
park or by the roadside Of their ma
tive town.
The town of MuLhausen, in Thurin-
gia, Is the first to respond to the prin-
cess appeal. A municipal official ap-
pears at the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom to drive with him in car
riage to new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by a former elector of Brandenburg
with the object of repairing the raw
ages caused by the 30 years war. The
elector forbade young persons to mar
ry until they had planted number OF
fruit trees.

DIFFERENCE IN THE RACES
Mexicans In the Main Unjust In
Blaming Americans for Lack
Of Politeness.

All the Mexican correspondents
who have written on the subject Of
why Americans are not better liked
by Mexicans agree that 1t is largely
question Of a lack Of politeness on
the part of the foreigner here, and in
some cases an ill-concealed contempt.
The latter is inexcusable, and certain
" must emanate only from inconsid-
crate or poorly educated persons, from
which no nation is free. Politeness,
however, is largely q matter Of form
and training. 1t is undeniable that
the Anglo-Saxon salutations, methods
of expressing thanks and apprecia-
ton, ETC., are simpler and shorter
than the Latin forms. To many who
have all their lives been accustomed
to the briefer Saxon ways, an attempt
Of the more elaborate Latin politeness
seems, for them, nothing short OF af-
fectation, and they simply cannot do
1t. There are exceptions among Amer
leans and Englishmen who readily
adopt the courteous phrases OF the
Mexicans and use them naturally, but
they are the exceptions. And 1t is
difficult to see how this can readily
be changed. Our Mexican friends
should understand, on the other hand,
that If Anglo-Saxons do not, as rule,
go through as many social formalities
as the usages of the land prescribe,
they mean no offense thereby. They
are accustomed to taking a good
many things for granted that their
Latin cousins give verbal assurance
Of. Naturally, 1t is the duty Of the
outlander to conform as nearly as he
can to the ways of his adopted coun-
try, but human nature and settled
habits are pretty hard to make over,
particularly unless you catch them
while they're young.-Mexican Her
aid
