Dist. Atty. Hastings Will In
yestigate All Affidayits in
Last General Election
FINDS FAULT WITH AFFIDAvITS
Investigation May Result in the Prose
cution of People Who Voted Illegal
" if Willful Violation of Laws is
Shown.

District Attorney Henry j. Hastings
is planning to file his answer to the
''quol warranto'' proceedings recently
instituted by former District Attorney
Robert Verne Baker and in order to
get facts for this answer Mr.. Hastings
is making searching investigation
into every vote cast by affidavit at the
last general election in the county. lie
has prepared list of republican vot-
ers covering several pages and all of
these voted after fling an affidavit of
residence. Every one of these afidavits
is to be investigated by the attor-
ney before he files his answer and in
addition he has declared that he will
investigate every democratic vote as
well. "If we are going to clean this
matter up said Mr.. Hastings 1--WE
may just as well go into all of it and
make the cleaning up a thorough one.
If men have voted illegally they should
be prosecuted and it makes no differ
ence whether they were republicans or
democrats. Of course this is going to
take time to sift out this lot of afida-
Wits but [ expect to file my answer
within the specified time. There are
technical errors in many Of the aft
davits but / am not convinced that
these technical errors would invalidate
the afidavits. AS far as / can see there
were about as many republicans voted
and it will be necessary to investigate
all of these before we can say just
how many votes can be thrown out.
The great pile of afidavits from the
fifth ward will keep the attorney busy
for some time and there are almost as
many afidavits returned by the cleo
tion officials in the fourth ward. At
torney Baker in his action against the
present District Attorney declared that
he has only enumerated a few of the
illegal votes alleged to have been cast
at the election and he is declared to
be able to show double the number
named in the complaint. AS yet there
has been no move to question the right
of County Clerk Jones to retain his Of
fee and it is generally believed that
there will be no contest along this line.
The greater number of afidavits signed
bear the signatures of democratic off
Gals and this is regarded as proof on
the face that the men voting on these
affdayits were supporters of the demo-
cratic candidates. 1t is probable that
strict Interpretation of the law will
result in many of these votes being
thrown out.
The contest between Baker and Has
tings is expected TO come before the
Circuit court between now and the
opening of the March term but It is
probable that it will be many weeks
before the litigation is at an end.

BOW cocoannts ave Grown.

4 cocoanut tree in the islands of
Trinidad and Tobago begins TO pro-
duce nuts in four or FIVE years after
planting. and reaches maturity in
twelve or fourteen years. The aver
age life of a healthy tree is fifty
years, often very much longer. The
production of nuts does not average
more than one hundred mature tree.
At present coeoanuts for export are in
voiced at from S13 to $22, a probable
average of $40 a thousand, copra at 4
to cents pound, and the oil at 80
cents a gallon. The nuts are mostly
shipped to Philadelphia and New York,
the copra to Europe and the oil to the
other West India islands.
Cocoanut trees are planted about $50
to the acre, and fifteen to eighteen feet
apart. Unskilled labor, coolie labor
chiefly, is paid 30 to so cents a day.
while the piclxers get 90 cents a thou
sand, and a higher wage if the trees
are very tall. In some sections the
trees are being affected with bud rot,
but every effort known to science is be-
ing used to limit the spread of the dis
ease. 1t is not, however, generally
prevalent, but works most injury in sec
tions where there is too much moisture.
Insect pests have also to be commended
with, but these thus far have not
caused much alarm among the producers.
The natural annual death rate of the
trees, as stated by leading horticul-
turist, does not exceed five a thousand,
and 5 to 10 per cent in sections of
plantations where the bud rot prevails.
The cocoanut industry is considered
very profitable, and is rapidly growing
here. The largest producer grows
100000 nuts year, another 100000,
while the remainder are mostly small
producers.
The shells are looked upon as waste,
except as they rot and become fertilizer,
or when used on the large estates for
road making. An effort was made a
few years ago to utilize the fiber as a
marketable product, but the effort
proved unsuccessful, probably because
it was not carried out on the right
lines.

about the shoe tops and you are up-tos
minute in the 1911 styles.
The origin of the roll" is mystery.
1t Just grew. Since the adoption OF
athletic summer apparel there has
been a need for a method of securing
the hose. This necessity is directly
responsible for the innovation. A trip
around Chicago disclosed several va
rieties. Those observed to date are: .
The telescope roll" which has
found favor among the high school
boys. 1t is about three-quarters of an
inch wide and about an eighth of an
inch thick, and is surmounted by q
clasp pin that secures the fold. 1t
is nobby and neat, but 1t is difficult
fold to make.
University students in their enthusi-
asm have gone the lint. A quarter
hose" reaching half an inch above the
shoes or oxfords and displaying school
colors by means of narrow band
around the top is their bid for fame.
There is also the mechanics
drape," displayed about the loop dis
trict wherever building laborers are
employed. Less keen for the more
nobby effect they merely drape the
neck the sock down over the shoe
and don't care who knows it.
How haberdashers are going to
meet the demand for loud" effects
the new roll promises to create is
subject that is said to be worrying
some of its advocates.

Roundup" of Chorus Girls.

The largest mobilization or Ground

history of New York occurred recently
when Ned Weyburn, general stage pro-
Queer for Lew Fields, passed upon the
qualifications of approximately 1900
candidates for positions.
The girls were of four physical
types, viz, show girls, mediums, dane
ing girls and ponies, and known tech
nically as class GA" class OBJ class
"Cu and class Cd" They came from
all sections of the United States and
Canada, such cities as Spokane, Van

Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal, His
Majesty's American possessions; New
Orleans, Ft. Worth, Atlanta, Louisville
and Richmond, the south, while New

A FREAK STYLE FOR MEN

Chicago.-A new fashion for men
that has gained immediate recognition
in this city is the athletic roll"

ern mode and originally was used as
the means Of securing or supporting

DEATH BEFORE 100
YEARS Is Suicide
IGNORANCE OFLAWS OFHEALTH
EXPLAINS EARLY END
OF LIFE.
Noted Scientist Has Encouraging Word
for Dependent Men and
Women.

"Death before 100 years of age has
been reached is nothing more or less
than slow suicide. A man Cor woman)
who dies at an earlier age is simply
ignorant of the laws of health"
Such was the original and rather
startling statement made by Professor
James M. Munyon, the famous Phila-
delphia health authority, who is estab-
fishing health headquarters in all the
large cities. of the world, for the pur-
pose of getting in direct touch with his
thousands of converts.
Professor Munyon is a living en-
bodiment of the cheerful creed he
breaches. Virile, well-poised, active
and energetic, he looks as though he
would easily attain the century age
limit which he declares is the normal
one. He said:
~ want the people of the world
to know my opinions on the subject
of health, which are the fruit of a
lifetime devoted to healing the sick
people of America. There isn't a

who have found health through my
methods. Before get through there
