Formosa's Campf1or Forests.

The camphor forests of the world
are located in the island of Formosa
in the highlands and mountainous sec
lions. In a dozen different sections
of the island where the camphor for
ests are particularly valuable the cut
ting and transporting of the logs into
the civilized sections are attended with
great risk of life to the laborers, who
are Chinese and Japanese, for these
sections are inhabited by head-hunting
savages, whom the Dutch, Chinese and
japanese, have from time to time tried
to subdue. with varying success.
! The Japanese and Chinese coolies
employed in bringing the camphor-tree
logs out of the forests are not infre-
quently attacked by bands of these
savages, and sometimes the whole
gang of workmen is annihilated before
the lust for human heads is satisfied.
In order to protect in a measure the
laborers of the industry, as well as
those engaged in cutting valuable hard.
woods of the Formosa forests. the
Japanese are compelled to maintain an
elaborate military and police system
in the head hunters territory. Fully
four-fifths of the worlds camphor SUM-
ply comes from Formosa.-Harpers

Joachim and the BARRIERS.

Mr. Rutland Barrington's story Of
the barber whose only comment on
one of his representations was to the
effect that his hair was rather long,
recalls a tale which used to be told in
relation to the late Dr. Joachim and
another member Of the fraternity.
This knight of the scissors was also
struck by the undue length of his
victims locks and suggested reduc-
ton accordingly, adding confidentially,
in support of his recommendation
Makes you look like one of them fid-
dler chaps, sir" Joachim's answer is
not recorded.
Yet another barber story in relation
to Joachim tells of the establishment
aroused among the practitioners at
one establishment who knew not that
they were entertaining angels I'M
awares, when Joachim and two or
three comrades of tho bow all hap
pened to be having their wants at
tended to simultaneously. AS each in.
dictated in turn a tender spot beneath
the chin for which special considera.
ton was besought, the only possible
conclusion which suggested itself to
one and all was that these must be
members of some secret society and
that this curious behavior must be
part of their ritual.

FAIL TO SHAKE WHITES STORY.
Lorlmer Counsel Subjects Ex-LegisIa-
tor to Sharp Examination.

Washington. The sharpest kind
Of cross-examination by counsel for
Senator Lortmer before the COM
mittee which IS investigating Mr. Lori
mer's election, failed to shake in any
degree the story of Charles A White,
former member of the Illinois legisla-
ture whose admission that he was
bribed to vote for Lorimer has
brought forth several other confes-
sions from his former colleagues.
White frankly admitted that in his
letters to Lee O'Neill Browne, asking
for money, and to Lorimer, asking for
aid in getting a position, he made
many statements which were pure
and simple lies"
According to his mistaken testi-
mony, these statements were deliber-
ate, and intended for part in the
grand expose.
Il thought the people ought to
know the hypocrisy and trickery that
goes on in the legislature" he said.

ROOSEVELT SAYS
HE AVERTED PANIC
Asserts He Did Duty in Permit -.
ting Tennessee Deal.
MAKES A TALK ON TRUSTS
Colonel Before Steel Committee Ad-
vocates Strong Measures, Such as
Germany Used With
Potash Industry.

New York.-Without subpoena and
entirely voluntarily, Col Theodore
Roosevelt appeared before the COM
tives which is making an inquiry
into the United States Steel corpora
ton and told how he had averted a
panic in 1907 by giving his consent
to the absorption of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company by the steel
corporation.
The former chief executives action
in submitting to a congressional re-
view of acts of his own administra-
ton was almost unprecedented in the
history of the United States.
First and foremost he placed upon
himself responsibility for approving
the absorption to save perilous
financial disaster in Wall street, and
condemned any man who would be
so weak as not to act as he did in
that crisis. Not to have done as he
did, he said, would have been Grim
inal
The chapter he contributed not only
dealt with his part in the momentous
events of that threatening time, but
he gave the committee some interest
ing opinions on the trust question that
doomed up in their import even more
than his recital of facts in the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron transaction.
After declaring that his object in
approving the sale of the Tennessee
company was to restore confidence
the former president, in response to
Inquiries by Representative Littleton
relating to the case as presented to
him by Judge Gary and H. G. Frick
at the memorable White House con-
ference in November. 1907, said:
THE situation was so critical that
1t was liable to break at any moment
until the action was taken, and the
instant 1t was taken an enormous i'm
provement for the better occurred,
and, as said in the poem of Mr.. Emer-
son, with which you all are so well
acquainted:
If the red slayer thinks he Stays,
Or If the slain thinks he is slain, it
matters not
L should have proved an unworthy
public officer. If / had not done as I
did," he continued.
IF had not acted at once in that
extraordinary crisis should have
been mere little. In every such crisis
the temptation to indecision, to non
action, always exists. There is al
ways excuse for non-action. If a man
Is worth his salt he will give people
in trouble the benefit of the doubt
and act as the situation demands If
the law is not violated.
Every step took was as open as
the day"
Then Mr.. Roosevelt launched into a
general discussion with Chairman
Stanley of the general trust question,
saying that the United States had
something to learn from Germany.

GATES, CAPTAIN OF
FINANCE, EXPIRES
NOTED AMERICAN SPECTATOR
DIES IN PARIS AFTER LONG
BATTLE WITH DISEASE.
CAREER HAD BEEN METEORIC
Born OF Poor Parents, He Won and
Lost Several Fortunes by Reckless
Piunging on Wall Street-Worth
Over $25, 100000 at Death.

Paris.-John w. Gates, the Ameri-
can financier, died here in the arms
OF MS wife and son, Charles G..
Gates. The end was peaceful and it
seemed as though he were falling
asleep.
For week Mr.. Gates had prac-
tically lived on oxygen inhaled
through a tube. In addition to this,
caffeine, strychnine and oil of cam
phor were used to give artificial force
Mr.. Gates had lost fifty pounds since
he became i'll, several weeks ago.
The death of bet You a Million,
John w. Gates brings to an end a
financial and personal career that has
probably never been equaled.
He was born on a farm at Turner
Junction, now West Chicago, in 1855.
His parents were poor, but the boys
good business instinct developed
early. His first business enterprise
was the conducting of a hardware
store, which brought him into ac-
qualntance with Col. Isaac ElwoOd
the inventor of barbed wire, whose
employ he later entered Seeing the
great future of that product, Gates
started a barbed wire factory of his
own and forced Elwood to go into
partnership with him. Other barbed
wire mills sprang up and as fast as
tney sprang up Gates bought them.
Ihls was the start of the $9O,O0O,OOO
American Steel e Wire Co., now a
part of the steel corporation.
For years Gates was a heavy plum
ger IN Wall street until manipula-
lions by the Morgan interests nearly
ruined him in 1907. Then he turned
MS attention to the Texas oil fields
and had built up another fortune
estimated to be between $25, 100000
and $30,0OO,0OO

TAFT IN APPEAL
FOR PEACE PACTS
Asks That Moral Influence Be
Used on Senators.
FEARS FOES OF TREATIES
President Declares There Is No Dam
ger to Senate's Constitutional
Privileses-Gives Roosevelt
High Praise.

Mountain Lake Park, Md.-Presi-
dent Taft travelled 400 miles through
Maryland and West Virginia by
special train to appeal to the people
of the United States to use their moral
influence to have the senate ratify the
British and French arbitration trea-
ties and the treaties with Nicaragua
and Honduras.
His appeal was made direct to the
Mountain Lake Park Chautauqua of
the Methodist Episcopal church, but
of the nation as well.
Il observe" said the president, that
there is some suggestion that by rati-
flying this treaty, the senate may in
some way abdicate it's function Of
treaty making. / confess myself to
being unable to perceive the logic in
any such point.
ITO have these treaties not ratified
by the senate of the United States or
to have any hesitation and discussion
of serious character in respect to
them would halt the movement toward
general peace, which has made sub
stantial advance in the last ten years.
To secure the ratification Of the treat
les therefore, appeal must be made to
the moral sense Of the nation and
while that is not entirely in the keep
ing Of the churches, certainly they
may exert a powerful influence in the
promotion of any effective instru-
mentality to secure permanent peace"
Leaving the arbitration treaties be-
hind, the president asked for the same
sort Of popular support of the treaties
with Honduras and Nicaragua.
There is no issue before the senate
so acute in respect to the cause of
peace Pe the confirmation Of these
Central American treaties" said the
president. "Wlile l admit the greater
Importance of universal treaties of ar
bitration, in the long run and as affect
ing the world at large, yet in respect
Of American interests, in respect of
peace in this hemisphere, they are
not equa! in Importance to the con-
firmation of these Central American
treaties
In making his plea for the Central
American conventions, the president
highly praised former President Roose-
welt. He spoke Of the tendency Of the
United States to extend their helping
hand to less powerful people, and in
stanced Mr.. Roosevelt's Intervention
in Cuba That tendency was evidenced
also, he said, "by the wonderfully sue
cessful Intervention by Theodore
Roosevelt as president of the United
States in securing peace betwee Rus
STA and Japan"

LEGAL KIDNAPPING is
CONDEMNED IN REPORT
Senate Select Committee Finds Abuse
of Rights and Urges Congress to
Check Hasty Extraditions.

Washington.-The process of legal
kidnapping" as in the labor cases of
Meyer, Haywood and Mcnamara, was
condemned in a report presented by
the senate select committee appointed
to investigate the third degree methods
of the police authorities of the United
States. Senator Borah presented the
report on behalf of the committee.
The committee said the practice of
hurrying accused men from one state
to another without giving them an op-
portunity to be heard should be pre-
vented by prohibiting extradition I'M
til after lapse of a certain number
of days or by some other effective
plan.
The only other recommendation was
the cessation Of Jury shadowing" by
the secret service men. The inquiry
did not extend to the police methods
of the state or cities, the committee
believing it's Jurisdiction did not in
clude them.
The condemnation of jury shadow
ing was based upon the committees
discovery that in important cases the
department Of justice authorized sur
veillance of jurymer to prevent their
being tempered with. The committee
in this final report condemned the
practice of the government, even
though 1t be by the defense, because
1t is liable to great abuse"
The committees comment on irreg-
ular extraditions evidently was based
on the course pursued in removing
Meyer and Haywood from Colorado to
Idaho on the charge of numbering
Governor Steunenberg and in getting
Mcnamara from Indiana on the
charge Of destroying the Los Angeles
Times building, but neither instance
is specifically mentioned. They were
spoken of as cases in which mo op-
portunity was offered to test the le-
gal1ty of the proceedings or the juris-
diction of the court granting judg-
ment."

The accident occurred when the en-
CINE, tender and baggage car jumped

Summons After Long IIlness-ln
U. S. Senate Thirty Years.

Lewiston, Me.-United States Sem
Ator William Pierce Frye, who was
compelled by poor health to resign
his position as president pro tenn of
the senate at the beginning of the
special session Of congress, died here
at the. home Of his daughter, Mrs.

Death came suddenly to the aged

breakdown at the opening of con-
gress, but his condition was not

ton on Sept. 2, 1880. He graduated

Secretary of State Knox signed the
two treaties in behalf of the United
States. James Bryce, the British ann

half of Great Britain, thus completing
the Anglo-American pact, with the ex-
ceptfon Of ratification by the senate
The French treaty was signed In
duplicate in Paris six hours earlier
by ]. ]. Jusserand, ambassador to the
United States
AS soon as the copies Of the two
treaties had been signed President
Taft affixed his signature to two,
measures for transmittal to the senate:
The general features OF the new
treaties are:
All differences internationally justi-
ciable shall be submitted to The Hague.
unless by special agreement some 9TH
er tribunal is created Or selected
Differences that either country
thinks are not justiciable shall be re-
ferred to a commission of inquiry, com
posed Of nationals Of the two govern
ments, empowered to make recon-
mendations for their settlement.
Should the commission decide that the
dispute should be arbitrated, such de-
cision will be binding.
Before arbitration is resorted to,
even in cases where both countries
agree that the difference is suscep-
tible of arbitration, the commission Of
inquiry shall investigate the dispute
with view of recommending a settle
ment without arbitration.
The commission, at request Of either
government, will delay it's findings one
year to give an opportunity for diplo-
matte settlement.

POPE BETTER AFTER RELAPSE.
Physicians Believe He Will Recover
in Few DAYS.

Rome.-The condition of Pope
Plus, who suffered a slight, but
sudden relapse, is satisfactory to his
physician. They expressed the belief
that few days will suffice to perfect
a recovery.
The Osservatore Romano, the
Vatican organ, published the following
official statement:
THE pope has almost completely
recovered from the recent affection OF
the larynx, but has been suffering
from a slight attack of govt in the
right knee.
"Dr. Giusseppi Pettaci, private
physician to his holiness, and DR..
Etorre Marchiafava, consulting physi-
clan at the Vatican, ordered the pope
to remain in his room, but before
leaving the Vatican for the second
time they said that, while they found
a slight rise in temperature, they con-
sidered the general condition of the
patient good
