turned 81 indictments against pres

Elaborate tattoo patterns are not
uncommon. but tattooing in raised
relief, as in the picture of negros
arm in Mozambique is something
new even to the sailor who makes

ness of the skin, these negroes cut
and slash and burn curious designs
in their flesh, which to them are
marks Of rare beauty.

Prof. Parker of Columbia univer-
sity fully expects to make the eX-
tremely dangerous ascent to the top
of Mount Mckinley next summer.
He will start in April and intends
to gather indisputable evidence that
he is not in DR.. Cooks class as a
mountain climber.
AS a member of Cooks party
which attempted the feat of climb
ing the highest peak on the CONT
nent he gained much information
that will prove of the utmost i'm
portance to him now. AS one of
that party he does not believe that
Cook reached the top.
Mount Mckinley is situated in
south central Alaska, between the
sources of the Kuskokwim and the
Shushitna rivers. 100 miles north
of Cook inlet. 1t was called by the
Russians Bolshaya, and by the In
dams Traleyka. 1t is covered with
snow and surrounded by immense
glaciers, which make the ascent
very hazardous.

with the companies purchased covering Its
policy in reference to Withholding toll line
privileges to other independent companies
The telephone official had just returned
from a vacation at Watkins Springs when
he was called upon the witness stand in a
hearing to determine -ths grounds for a
charge against his company that it con-
spired to monopolize the telephone business
of Nebrska. He win be questioned again
today.
Ethics in the operation Of ntercommu-
ncating toll lines came up for discussion
in the hearing OF George E. Mcfarland In
the morning. Mr. Mcfarland in answer
to questions told how his company ex-
changed toll line privileges with the lnde-
pendent company only when each company
had a local exchange at one end of the line.
He admitted his company never consented
to lend toll lines nor exchange facilities
to it's competitor in towns where the Bell
company could get along without any favor

KANSAS CITY, Sept. S.-Although the con-
tract has not been signed, representatives
Of both the miners and the operators of the
southwest district who have been conferring
here for weeks, trying TO settle the coal
strike involving 5000 workers agreed that
all difficulties practically are settled.
Conferees now believe it will be possible
to call convention together to vote on
the contract Saturday. II this is DONE they
say the mines may be reopened Monday,
1t was announced today that W. l. A..
johnson, labor commissioner Of Kansas
mas been agreed upon as official arbitra-
tor In case of future disputes. The agree
ment is that in case of trouble with the
operators instead of striking at once, the
miners shall remain at work sixty days.
The penalizauon clause provides that IL
the miners violate the contract they shall
forfeit fifty cents a day for each miner,
and that if the operators violate It, they
shall forfeit one dollar day for each
miner. An increase of wages of 555 per
cent was granted some time ago by the
operators. These are the only changes
from the contract under which the mines
have been working for two years

and several others were intending to wait
upon Governor Shallenberger and ask him

Omaha was that the leaders of the democ-
