MISS ELKINS DIES
 AS RESULT OF WOUND
 CAUSED BY HERSELF

Kansas City Mo, February 19.-Miss Agnes Leslie Elkins, niece of United States Senator Stephen B. Ellsins of West Virginia, died at a hotel here at $50 O clock last night as the result of a bullet wound she inflicted upon herself last Wednesday in then attempting to commit suicide.
 Dependency over the refusal, of rela- lives to consent to her becoming an ac- tress is given by the young woman's friends as the cause of her suicide. She had studied music and is said to have had a good voice. She obtained a part in a play,, but Senator Elkins is said to have influenced her to give 1t up.
 Miss Ellxins gave farewell party to her friends few hours before she shot herself, testing with them about a plan she had to commit suicide. After dis missing her guests, she wrote letter to the newspapers, explaining that she was tired of life.
 The bullet passed into her body just be- low her heart. Physicians said it was not dangerous would. She rallied and this morning expressed a desire to recover. A few hours later she suffered a re- lapse.
 Miss Ellsins was an orphan. 26 years old She was not prominent socially but is said to have been left considerable sum by her father. Senator Elkins was executor of her fathers estate.

NEWLANDS TALKS ON
 RIVER IMPROVEMENT

Washington, February 19.-Spealxing to- 6ay in the Senate in support of his amendment to the rivers and harbors bill providing for the coordination of the scientific services of the country with the engineer corps of the army In fram- ing plans for the full development and use of the inland waterways Senator Newlands said that 1t was most desira- ble that not only the states but munich palities and corporations should cooper ate with the national government in the matter.
 The complicated nature of our govern nent, national and state. and the divi- sion of jurisdiction and power make 1t necessary he said, that national and states overeignties should cooperate in great constructive work The power of the national government and its rights also regarding the rivers of the cou11- try arose, he said, out of its sovereign power over navigation as part of in- terstata and foreign commerce and out of Its proprietary right over the public do- main and it could only do such work as was necessary or incidental to the exer- else of this power and thisr ight.
 '"The cooperation of states, municipal ities. corporations and individuals is nee- essary to the full development of the riyers," said MT. Newlands, but the plans could be unionized whilst the work was segregated and it is of the highest importance that the law should pro vide for the executive department the machinery through which to bring about such cooperation. We would then end the tireless quarrels as to the various Jurisdictions of the state and nation and would unite all in great constructive work for the common good.

TESTIMONY GIVEN IN
 MEAT PACKERS CASES

Jefferson City, Mo-. February 19.-Six meat packing companies do 70 per cent of the packing business at Kansas City and about 90 to 95 per cent outside of the local business at Kansas City, ac- cording to the testimony of I. N. Rich, general manager of Swift & Co.,, of Kan sas City.
 The evidence was obtained in the att torney /general's investigation of the packers which was resumed here today.
 Prices for buying live stock, MT. Rich testified, are fixed on reports of daily receipts and markets for live stock at Chicago. The selling price locally is es- abolished by the Kansas. City branch of Swift & Co.,. but the outside price is made by Swift & Co., of West Virginia,

 James I. McColl, in charge of the fresh meat department of the Cudahy Packing company of Kansas City, testified that prices for Kansas City are fixed by him, being based on market reports and the supply needed.
 Prices on shipments from Kansas City were made by the general office at Omaha. Managers at branches in St. Joseph and St. Louis base their prices on the cost of careasses shipped by them.

ory is that each particular district or set clement will receive the roads which it needs and in order to secure it will vote for the entire issue There could not be any issuance for a particular road, but 1t is understood that all legal require ments would be met by having the issue in lump sum with the specification of certain roads with the further injunc- ton, 'and other roads in Jefferson conn- ty.''
 With the aid of the rural route car- riers and further help of the people in the various districts 1t Is believed that a system of good roads could be devised that would prove wonderfully satisfac- tory.
 Good roads are essentially a factor in the automobile business. Bad highways mean a laxness in the selling of automo- piles, while well constructed bikes cause this particular business to have unlim- ited bounds.
 Even more essentially do good roads count as factor in the making of wealth of the farmer. With poor roads the farm CT is in a bad way to reach his market, while with the smooth. hard highway it is simply question of how well he tills his farm. It is the farmer, though, who consistently defeats good roads bond Issues.
 Despite the fact that a county good roads bond issue could not be expended in any way upon the streets of an in corporated town the impression apparent ly prevails among the farmers that the money will all be spent In town, while the country roads will not receive my benefit Efforts have been made to dis sipate this impression but without avail
 Good roads bond issues have failed repeatedly in Jefferson county with the result that the highways in it are with but few exceptions disgrace to county of Jefferson's wealth. The cause for it cannot be justly laid upon the Board of Revenue, for while that body has good sum each year to spend upon roads 1t has to be expended in repairs and good foundation has never been provided in the shape of a good roads system.

EVERYBODY MUST BUY
 HOUSE MAIL BOXES

Washington, February 19.-Persons who live in cities and have not mail boxes in front of their residences may receive no mail after June 20, 1911 They will not if a provision of the postoffice appropria- f1or bill becomes a law. Letter carriers are prohibited from delivering mall at any housec unless there is mail box on the outside to receive it. 1t means that Uncle Sam is tired of having his uni formed carriers wait for people to take tnei- time iD answering their doorbels.
 It is expected this provision will greatly increase the efficiency of the service and possibly rednce the number of carriers required A saving of S4000oo is esu- mated.
 The vast expenditure by the people to meet the provisions of this bill in the way of providing mail boxes is estimated at approximately s20.0oo.0o0. The average mail box costs $1.

islapds, which belong to the Dutch, De- tween here and Java. The product or the British settlements is now. selling for thirty or forty million dollars per year, and the greater part of this is dug out by Chinese. Much of the output Is con- trolied by the Straits Trading company, which has immense smelters on an island close to Singapore the tin bullion being shipped away to New York and Europe. We take about 30 per cent of this tin or. something like thirty million dollars worth every year. It is scattered all over the United States and 1t coats our dish pans, tin cups and wash basins. Some of the dear girls who read this letter will see their fair faces shining back at them when they next SCOUT the pie pans, and I urge them to remember that the reflection is flashed from away out here on the Strait of Malacca.
 The tin is largely from alluvial deposits. The dirt is washed out by hydraulic pumps and the ore also won in ruder ways by the poorer Chinese. The Celestials hunt for mines with crooked sticks as we seek spots for well digging. The hunter holds the two ends of the stick firmly, and the earth containing it may be from a few inches to many feet in thickness. The tin grains are mixed with all sorts of gravel. from pebbles to powders and or dinary sand. They lie on bedrock Of limestone, slate or clay and are taken out and washed.
 In the Tin Mines.
 Tho mining is done by Chinese on shares. When the mines are deep they use ladders to go up and down, carrying the ore out In baskets on their backs They stack it up in heaps near the mines and then wash it out in coffin-shaped troughs through which water runs.
 After 1t Is cleaned it is smelted in charcoal furnaces, the best ore yielding about seventy per cent of pure tin. After smelting the tin is run off into bricks of about the size of five-cent loaf of bread It then looks like silver and is ready for shipment. A ton of these bricks is now worth $7OO and it has been much higher
