The Richmond warehouses are be-
ginning to assume an air of activity.
Twenty thousand pounds of primings
were sold yesterday at prices very
satisfactory to the growers. Tobacco

Iany great quantity for two months

In North and South Carolina,
where sales have begun, it Is reported
that prices have been very satisfac-

OF last season Mr.. John A .Hutche-

DREDGE BRINGS
UP HUMAN HAND

MILAN. Sept. 15.--Much excite
ment has been occasioned in Venice
over the recent discovery of human
hand during dredging operations in
the Giudecca canal. Experts declared
that the hand which was found her
metically sealed in n wooden hox. be-
longed to female child eight or
ten years old.
The police. convinced that they had
to do with foul crime, were busy
trying to trace the murderous mu-
tlator, when to-day the renowned
Oriental painter. Slgner Mainella, vino
has resided many years In the We
netian iagoons. narrated how a
wealthy Egyptian family. wishing to
give him a souvenir OF his sojourn
in their native land, presented him
with what they described as the num-
mified hand of an Egyptian princess
who had lived 5000 years ago. Sig
nor Mainella preserved the relic re-
ligiously for a decade or more, when
observing that the hand showed signs
of decomposition. ne instructed his
valet to nail it securely in n box and
throw Ii into the canal. where it has
recently turged up again.

TASK OF CHOOSING
 PRETTY WOMEN HARD

London, April S.-(Special.) 1.-The ex- perts on whom rests the responsibility
 of choosing the 30 beautiful women who are to take part in the pageant of dress at the Crystal palace this sum- mer carry out their duties with an ex- treme thoroughness
 At the preliminary interview with 1 Candidates anxious to take part in this display of fashionable dresses only
 three Judges are present, one of whom concentrates attention on the carriage
 and walk of the young women, as they enter the room one by one. The sec ond looks only at face and features,
 while the third carefully scrutinizes their general appearance and height At one assembly held this week, near ly 150 candidates passed in turn be- fore the judges, of whom only IS were
 considered suitable from all these as- poets. The important question of fig ure had to be settled later by MT San dow's experts and the dressmakers whose creations the models are to wear, and the number was further reduced from IS to 5. The ground of rejec- tion is, of course, extremely varied. Some candidates are seen at the first glance to be too short; others of bet

ment's proposals, which are still in an embryonic state. They may be set forth thus: First, a tax on incomes without exception second, supplement tary tax on the total of incomes third' discrimination of the incomes of cap ital and labor; fourth certain rellef for taxpayers with minimum incomes and family charges, and fifth, introduce tion of a graduated system.
 A. Caillaux, the minister of hnance, has expressed his willingness, to receive suggestions concerning the methods of surveillance and control. He stipulates, however, that no notifications shall be proposed which affect the principles gov ernng the tax on income or which imperii the interests of the treasury.
 The committee which is examining the income tax proposals, and of which M. Rouvier is president, has informed the government that an understanding can not be arrived at on abstract principles, but only on complete formulae. The sub committee have prepared proposals which will be submitted to the plenary commit tee, and it is only when the latter has pronounced upon them that 1t will be possible to come to an understanding with M. Caillaux and appoint reporter.
 The definite intertions of the govern ment will be known in a few days or a week at the utmost. Meanwhile 1t is said to be certain that the committee will ratify, by large majority, the decisions of the subcommittee. It will then be necessary for the government to say

ter height may not possess the grace full Silhouette which will be demanded by the fashionable dresses of the com ing summer
 One falling, however, appears to be common to the great majority of those who have come forward up to the pres ent and this is, in the matter of deport- ment. A good carriage and balance. rhythmic walk are absolutely essential for displaying the beauty of the gown, but of the 300 candidates already in- terviewed 75 per cent are rejected on this ground alone. Those who are ac- cepted will have a fortnight's special training in the art of walking before the opening of the far and fashions pageant, but this time is only sufficient to prefect the carriage of those who all ready hold themselves we'll. It takes six months, according to the manager of a large West End firm, for girl who walks badly or ungracefully to acquire a correct and dignified car- riage.
 Another difficulty which the judges encountered is the apparent scarcity of dark or brunette types. Both fair and dark haired models are, of course, re- ouired in order to show off gowns suit able for all types of beauty, but of the 10 models definitely selected, only one Is dark. Two have auburn hair and the seven others are all fair
