USE OF FALSE HAIR
ENORMOUSLY INCREASED
Big Importations at London
From India and Japan

LONDON, March 12.-Japan and India
alike contribute to the fashionable
coiffure of the day, which has enor-
mously increased the already large de-
mand for false hair.
Curls are being revived, the long
tails remain, and the return of waves
has caused a great rush for trans
formations.
More transformations are being sold
at present than have been for the last
six MONTHS the proprietor of a we'll
known Oxford street establishment
said.
Waved hair is again the fashion,
and transformations are a necessity to
the woman with straight hair If she
wishes to appear always the same, and
is at the mercy of the weather.
The craze for false hair has brought
quantities of cheap hair into the mar
ket. This is not the natural colored
hair, but coarse dark hair, that has to
be bleached or dyed different shades.
1T is imported largely from Japan
and India. Many women will not pay
for the natural hair, which is gen
orally obtained from European coun-
tries, when they can purchase an ar
ticle that appears to them as effective.
The beautiful natural hair can not
be obtained at cheap rates. The faxed
hair has, of course, a comparatively
short life.
More women wear false hair now
adays because the artist in hair dress
ing is much more skilled than in for
mer times, and the addition to a
womans own hair can not be easily
detected"
Tails of hair have to be long to
be of use in the present mode of hair
dressing" representative of a Bond
street firm said Some switches are

cUNNINGHAM'S STORY.
Discoverer of Alaska Coal Mines Tes-
titles at Cleveland.

Cleveland March l0.-For the first
time since the government coal lands
investigation began. Clarence Cunning
ham. the man who made the original
survey on which the Alaskan coal
c.ailns are based. appeared as a Wit
hess here today. Mr.. Cunningham was
called by the attorneys for the 80
claimants in the inquiry which has
been opened here by United States
Commissioner William j. MCGEE Mr..
Cunningham testimony was not con-
cluded when adjournment was taken
until tomorrow.
The primary reason which, Mr.. Cum
ningham said, attracted him to Alas
ka in 1902, was the reported discovery
of oil wells there. There We're virgin
coal seams Is feet in breadth and APP
parently ineXhaustible in extent. In
this barren country some poor white

Each of these men, he testified, PAID
$500 for the initial expense of locating
claims. He returned to Alaska with an
engineer and staked out % CLAIMS,
which he filed with the patent Office at
Kayak. Finally 80 entries were made.
The earlier part OF today's session

Man Is Allowed.
Rochester, n. T., Man Satisfies
Probate Court Of His Identity.

Springfield, Mass, March 10.-The
mystery surrounding the identity OF
the late George -. Nelson, who died
recently leaving an estate valued at
between 100000 and 100000, was lift
ed today in the probate court when
Andrew w. Dunn Of Rochester. y. y,
proved to the satisfaction Of Judge
Charles l.. Long that the man known
as George d. Nelson was mis- own
brother, George Nelson Dunn. The re-
semblance between the witness and
the late Geo. d. Nelson was so mark
ed that the statement was made that
il would have been almost impossible
to have told the two men apart.
As a. result OF today's proceedings
in the probate court, Judge Long al
lowed Nelson's will. in which the bulk
of the estate is bequeathed to a
nephew, George d. Dunn of Rochester.
Although several persons had claimed
to be related to the testator, only one
person, James #. Nelson of Boston.
had legally. entered claim to a part
Of the estate. The Boston man be-
lieved that he was related to the late
Springfield resident, but the testimony
of Andrew w. Dunn indicated that the
claim was unfounded.
Andrew w. Dunn stated to the court
that Geo. N. Dunn was born at Greene,
Chanango county, N. Y, and that in
1871 he had his name changed to Geo.

troubles. Nelson, as he was known in

BRITISH MINISTRY
Adopts New Scheme to Win in House
vs.. Lords Fight.

London. March 1O.-The ministers adopt
ed a new device in the war between the
Lords and Commons. by asking Parlia-
ment Thursday to rate supplies for six
weeks only instead of from four to six
months. as has been the practice for the
last Is years. The fact is not concealed
that this device is intended to keep the
power of the purse in the hands of the
House of Commons in readiness for
fresh constitutional crisis, which is ex-
pected in the month of May, when the
Lords probably will reject the resolu-
lions curtailing their power of veto so
as to bring about the resignation of the
government.
If supplies were voted for six months.
Mr.. Balfour could then take Office and
carry on the government. but with the
necessity of coming to the House of Com
mons for a new vote on supply he would
be defeated.
The Conservatives in the House of Com
mons Indignantly denounced the govern
ment's action as a shabby trick in its
policy of evasion" Their newspapers re-
peat this sentiment. Chancellor Lloyd
George frankly admits that it is his in
tention thus to keep effective control over
the legislative, from whichever side OF
the House it is drawn.
In the meantime to guard against sur
prises and the possibility Of defeat by
snap division, the government whips
have issued circular to all Of its sup
porters impressing upon them the neces-
sity of constant attendance in the House
of Commons.
