pecially in yachting and automobiling

THIRTY-SEVEN JAILED
FOR INDIAN CONSPIRACY
Prominent Bengaiis Charged
With Gigantic Plot

CALCUTTA. Sept. 3.-The men ar
rested in connection with the Dacca,
conspiracy now number 81, all of whom
are Bengalis. Seven have been arrested
in Calcutta, one. In Rangoon and the res
mainder in eastern Bengal
All were apprehended under the se-
ditious sections of the criminal code.
The police are reticent as to the
details and the preliminary inquiry
before the magistrate is being held in
camera
A runor is current here and in Dacca
that the documents seized prove that a
wide conspiracy, with ramifications all
over India. has been brought to light.
1t is believed that all the accused are
members of the Anislan samiti. which
is the inner circle of the defunct ma
tional volunteers.
Evidence given in the Khulna con-
spiracy case. now proceeding before the
high court, shows that similar samitis
have been collecting money ostensibly
for the poor, which had not been util-
lied for that purpose.
The importance of the Dacca arrests
is indicated by the social prominence of
the accused.
The European community in Calcutta
is puzzled by the secrecy of the arrests
and of the subsequent proceedings, but
it is felt that there must be serious
evidence to prompt the government in
the action it is taking.

DIR. William Cell. the American
traveller. who has just returned from a
IL months visit to the capitals of the
Chinese provinces. states that in the
districts of Kwangsi and Kwauchau
twhere the people told him they had
never before seen white mani he
found an aboriginal tribe whose women
are attired in a costume resembling
a Scottish highlander's kilt.
DR.. Cell adds: One of the things that
remains uppermost in my mind is the
general spirit of revolution which l met
with
BY. this he says, u do not
mean an anti-dynastic or anti-foreign
feeling so much as what l would call
an anti baby movement.
Particularly among the scholars and
thinking men the opinion prevails that
China is passing through critical
period of her history, and there is a
feeling of resentment that baby
should be on the throne at such a
junoture.
"They referred to the fact that all
China's troubles in modern times have
occurred during the reign of the last
three emperors. all of whom were
children"

ELVES, a sister of the earl of Denbigh.
was the victim of a robbery while she
was praying at a side altar al Bromp-
ton oratory.
The sequel to the theft, which was OF

labor.
Lady winifreda said that she and
her two sons were at the oratory. and

ing her handbag. which, with the
money in it, was valued at $50. by her
side.

near her, asking one of her little boys
to fetch him a prayer book. He then
picked up a bag in his possession and
also her bag, hurriedly decamping.
The verger was called and stopped
him. He then said that he had made a
mistake.
Deney pleaded guilty and expressed
anxiety to have the case summarily
dealt with.

Army Officer Murdered Where
White Woman Never Trod

LONDON, Sept. 3.-Mss Macleod
daughter of Sir Reginald Macleod, late
registrar general for England and
Wales and under secretary for Scot
land, has left England on one of the
most mournful and romantic pilgrim
ages ever undertaken by a woman. She
is on her way to central Africa to
erect a marble cross on the grave of
her dead lover, Lieutenant Boyd Alex
ander, who was murdered by native
near Abeshr, April 2.
Lieutenant Alexander's body was re-
covered and buried at Laifoni, a British
post near Lake Chad. beside that of
his brother, Captain Claud Alexander,
who died during the Alexander -Gosling
expedition of 1904. The journey to
Lake Chad is so arduous and hazard
Gus that Miss Maeleod's friends en-
deavored to persuade her to abandon
her intention, but nothing could move
her from her purpose, and she sailed
taking a marble cross with her.
The Journey which she has under
taken will occupy seven months, and
has never been accomplished by a
white woman. She will travel about
800 miles up the Niger, and then 500
miles across one OF the widest dis
tricts in Africa.
A British official and his wife will
accompany her on the greater part of
the journey.

LONDON. Sept. 3.-In the midst Of
the discussions on the value of the evil

ing, a startling theory with regard TO
individuality in writing has just been
elaborated by DR.. Lindsay Johnson. the
we'll known Ophthalmic surgeon and
author of many scientific works.
Briefly, il may be said to depend upon
the fact that in considerable number
of diseases a persons pulse beats are

Such chart is obtained for medical
purposes by means of sphygmog graph.

wrist and supplied with a needle which
automatically records on a prepared
sheet Of paper the peculiar force and
frequency of the pulsation.
Now, DIR. Lindsay Johnson maintains
that the pen in the hand of writer

end IS the sphygmOgraph, and that i'm

Il consider that when the pulse beat

is of the greatest possible value in de-

by means of il one can tell the speed

Now, since when a man copies another

prima facie evidence that il is a for

BIG FEET ADVOCATED BY

Baroness Mohn Leads Campaign
Which Many Ridicule

BERLIN, Sept. Big feet in a
woman may be beautiful. but most
people have to be educated up to ap-

being leveled at society formed by
some aristecratc women of Munich.
which has for its object the cultivation
of big feet.
The society will preach the gospel
that lag feet in a woman are not only
healthful but beautiful. The founder
of the society is the Austrian baroness
Mohn.
She declares that she made this inn
portant discovery about feet while
touring in the Bavarian highlands. and
she was led to start the reform move
ment as the result of witnessing the
efforts of many women to climb noun
tains in lace dresses and French shoes
with high heels.
Despite the sneers of local news
papers. the society has several hundred
m ensbers These have pledged them
selves to appear everywhere, even at
court functions and dances, in the big
gest possible shoes. with sturdy heels,
and they further undertake to bring

Inside Of the house were some ricn

formed the membership of the old Irish
parliament. and one of them was known
as the "incorruptible" in the days
when the union was being carried by
force and by almost universal and si-
gantic bribery.
In this house at Avondsle there were
many mementos OF the great part the
Psrnell family has played. There were
banners in the hall which belonged to
the volunteers. a body of armed Irish
gentlemen, who, in 1882, forced from
the British parliament large number
Of concessions which increased the lib

vanished paint covered with blisters

has got himself down at least Is pounds

WOMAN FLYER SHOCKS
MAYOR OF FRENCH TOWN
knickerbockers Cause Conn
plaint of Impropriety

PARIS, Sept. 3.-A woman aviator,
with the curious name of Mile. Abukaia.
is in constant conflict with the mayor
of Etampes, in which town, or rather
outside which town, she flies. The
mayor is stickler for what he considers
propriety in dress. What may be suit
able in the air does not -befit the
earth.
Every day Mile. Abukaia puts on
knickerbockers and overalls to fly. The
mayor does not object, but as there is
no dressing accommodations on the
aviation field she has to go home still
wearing knickerbockers..
This shocks the mayor. Every day
Mile. Abukaia flies, and every day. as
she re-enters the highly respectable
city of Etampes, an official deputed by
the mayor takes summons out against
her for being improperly clad.
