To the awful hollow came
The rivals battled fiercely
Till the bleeding Ute lay. low
Then fourth was led the maiden
To the proud Arapahoe;
But a swift, envenomed arrow
Found rest within her heart;
None knew if grief for the fallen
chief,
Or crossed love sped the dart.
But the prize of honest battle
At her champions feet was dead;
Still wrath, then a storm of curses
And the war-torch flaming red;
The Utes surged bravely foaward
To meet the thrusts and blows
That thickly fell in that reeking hell
From screaming Arapahoes-
The Utes surged madly forward.
But the blight of a wrongful cause
Struck home. and they paid full meas
ure
For the scorn of tribal laws:
Their scalp-locks hung as trophies
When the plainsmen marched away
From CORY floors and frowning doors
And bastions gloomy-gray.

ASKS FRIENDS TO HELP
RAISE BLACK HAND RANSOM
italian Makes Pathetic Appeal to
Save His Child

NEW YORK, Aug. IA pathetic ape
peal to friends to raise $4,000, the amount
demanded by agents of the Black Hand
society for the ransom of his 2-year-old
son Michael, and for the life of himself
and his wife, has been made by DR..
Mariana Scimeca. The child was kid
naped from his home June 81, and the
last hope, apparently, for his return to
his parents was dissipated when DR..
Scimeca and his wife received a de-
mand from the terrorists for an imme-
diate settlement. They wrote that they
would not accept any sum less than
$4,000.
In his desperate plight DIR. Scimera
has pawned his wife's jewels for $500,
but he says the Black Hand agent
refused to take that amount, although
he knew it was the largest sum that
he could tender. The savings of his
relatives, he adds, would not much
more than double the $500, and every
thing else he had has been spent to
trace the kidnapped boy.
The frantic father has been warned
to give up the search for little Michael
and has been threatened with imme-
date death unless the demands of the
Black Hand are met. He has given the
police letters in which the blackmail-
ers threaten to dismember his son, and
lately a bomb was found near the
Scimeca home. F

The cost of transporting a ton of
rubber from Tenosique, Montecristo,

principal points of shipment, would be
&c. s. and $3.50 gold, respectively. At
present most Of the rubber is sold
to exporters in San Juan Bautista, the
capital of the state, and thence sent
to Frontera for export. Out of a
total of $175,965 gold exported from
Frontera to the United States during
1909, rubber amounted to $174,045; con-
sequently it can be stated that the
entire rubber output OF this consular

Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-02

gence is, to my mind, unequaled, there
is a recognition of the value and the
power of western knowledge.
"Confucianism and the classics are
still read and expounded with un-
bounded love, for the Chinese have a
great respect for their great national
literature, but 1t is felt that more
scientific and commercial education is
needed. The educational movement is
only a matter of time when an ade-
quate supply of teachers and schools
will open out the beginning that many
high officials are maintaining schools
at their own expense. There Is, for
instance, the case of a lady, the wife
of mongol prince, who has at least
fifty Chinese girls in private school
she maintains.
Equally significant is the move
ment against the use of opium which
is now being conducted in most of the
provinces. Many classes of Chinese
now recognize the evil of opium smok-
ing and would like to see the practice
diminished and finally extinguished
There is not much opium exported to
foreign countries. 1t is mostly an
interprovincial trade, and from reports
which 1 received before 1 left l am OF
opinion that all the provinces are
making an effort to deal with the
opium problem.
"It is quite remarkable to see the
way in which the Chinese have adapt
ed themselves to the more rapid
modes of transit, and have come to
see their Importance for commercial
purposes. Most of the railways are in
Chinese hands, and they are doing
very well. Everywhere markets are
being opened up for agricultural pro-
duce. AS an instance, on the northern
railways 1 am told that the collection
of freight on the one item of cab
bages alone was $4,000. Not long ago
this vegetable rotted in large quaint
ties simply because there were no
means of finding market for it. In
the same way the growth of the fruit
business in northern China has made
great progress. Trade at Hankow has
been enormously increased since the
town became a railway center. In
certain districts the Chinese show a
tendency to make railways for them
selves. A great deal of the iron used
in the construction of the railways Is
produced in China"
