the fact that he had persistently VIC
lated the rule against telling a rubber
tree.
There are subcollectors who rank as
section bosses and who follow the men
about on their rounds and are armed
with scourge and machete. On one oc
casion in the absolute knowledge of
a spectator, a subcollector found a
man cutting more deeply than he
should into the rubber tree. He struck
fiat of the machete and broke the
mans jaw, leaving him with the re
mark:
Don't cut so deep next time"
The days tour of the natives who
cup the trees is not a pleasant one.
They start out in the morning with
forty or fifty tin cups slung over their
shoulders and are obliged to wade
sometimes waist or breast deep in
mud and ooze and slime. They must
be constantly alert for cobras and
venomous snakes, which infeSt the wa
tiers, to say nothing of several species
of saurians whose sharp teeth can per
form instantaneous amputation of legs
or arms.
On reaching the rubber trees they
make V shaped cut in the rough
outer bark At the inverted apex of
the angle thus made the tin cup is fas-
tened with a piece of gum, and the
operation is repeated from ten to forty
times on the same tree. A days work
consists in the care of a hundred such
trees for each man.

NATIVES ARE LAZY

The immediate causes OF the cruelty
exercised by the boss collectors on the
natives are plain enough. The natives
are lazy. There is a great amount of
the sleeping sickness prevalent in these
regions There is a certain amount of
danger involved in a trip through the
rubber trees. For all these reasons if
a native has enough food on hand to
last him through the day he is natural
" averss to going cupping after the
rubber.
On the other hand, the boss collector
has to supply his contracted amount to
the mercantile company, for the ships
can make the extreme headwaters only
while the overflow season is on, and
that Is during a very few months of the
year, and every day counts in the col
lection Coercive measures, therefore,
are resorted to to keep the native on
his rounds. Machetes are very much
in evidence, as they are used for slash
ing the outer bark to make incisions
for the milk to escape. The boss col
lector finds a machete handler than a
walking stick in coercing a native.
If a native is delinquent the boss
collector may strike him with a ma
chete as with stick In, such a case
the loss of an ear or a limb may be
the result In not a few instances per-
sistent refusal on the>part of native
to work has caused him to be killed
outright The man is simply shot
down
Gun and machete furnish two means
of melting industry on the part of the
natives, but these do not comprise the
entire arsenal of energy producers. An
instrument similar to the Russian
knout and known as a scourge is the
badge of authority among overseers.
Few natives whose regular pursuit is
rubber gathering escape @the scourge
and many of them can show backs
scanned and ridged, the result of blows
that have broken the skin and eaten
into the flesh These are the prac-
tees which the British and the Ameri-
can governments are demanding that
Peru shall order abated even if troops
have to be sent to the region where
they are common.

Grist From the Sport Mill

Al EN- who play with their heads

Hy proved that it is possible to
stay a long time in iprofeSS1on-
al baseball. There are several men
still very much in the game who may
yet break or at least equal Cy Young's
record. They are not. however. pitch
ers. James Tilden Sheckard is one of
the veterans in whom the baseball pub
lie is very much interested. Jimmy
broke into the game as far back as
1895, when he played with the Mariet-
ia and Lancaster semi-profeSsional
team. Thence he moved to Ports
mouth, Va. going in the following year
to Brockton in New England
Brooklyn corralled him next, and aft
er one year with Baltimore he went
back across the bridge again. With
the rest of his baseball career every
small boy is familiar, especially the
small boy of Brooklyn. where James
vas popular. Toward the close of his
term with the Brooklyn team Sheck
ards work fell of. and there were
those who said that he was Sinking.
He spruced up promptly when he went
to Chicago. Sheckard was never very
happy in Brooklyn and was glad to
get away.
There is Il great deal of good baseball
left in Sheckard. and it would not be
surprising if he We're to stay in the lists
as long as Young and Willie Keller
Sheckard, knows INSIDE baseball" as
we'll the next man and should be
credited with some of the Chicagoisms
that have heretofore been attributed
to more famous members of the Cubs.
Johnny Evers has had most of the
limelight. and it has been the custom
to attribute most of the clever moves
to him
Fred Tenney has Sheckard beaten by
one year. and Tommy Leach. the man
whose harsheSt words are "Oh. cricky,'
is year behind. Willie Keller dates
back to 1892. hut there are still plenty
of Brooklynites who can readily re-
member when he played with the
Flushing. Arlington and Acme teams.
Keller is Il man of whom every child
has heard.

NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE

SEATTLE, June 12.-Univer-
sity students who are not self
supporting are not entitled to vote
in municipal elections If their
parents live outside of Seattle.
This was the ruling made by
Judge r. b. Albertson in the re-
count suit of H. G. Gill against
Mayor Cotterill. Five students
were thus disqualified, and their
votes were disallowed yesterday.
OF these, one vote had been for
Gill. In all, 80 students are to be
examined in addition to the IA
who have already testified.

BRINGOLF'S DOWNFALL
CAUSED BY GAMBLING
AND HIGH LIVING

So he is behind the bars with
defalcation of from $4,000 to
$4,000 hanging over him.
Started Two Years Ago.
He. started stealing two years
ago, he says. Covered up his
thefts when the checking time
came by making new ones and
repaying, gambled away the
money he got and finally got to
the point where he could no
longer carry the false records
through, so he calmly went home
at noon yesterday and waited for
the officers to come and get
him.
He left his young wife and
little boy alone looking ahead IN
life with no hope and but $12 in
money.
"It is all right, little GIRL" he
said as he kissed his wife good
bye when the detectives took
him.
But he knew it was all wrong.
Broke Down.
He was smiling and seemed
happy when placed behind the
iron bars but when he faced
Treasurer Freeland, who had
shown him every possible kind
ness and given him every oppor-
tunity in life, he broke down and
cried like child.
81 would rather have been
hanged than face you," he said.
Bringolf kept complete record
of his thefs so the books will
be Strengthened out. t&s started
with small ones and grew until
two weeks ago he pocketed one
lump of $701.50. He took $400
Monday and paid gambling
debt, he said. Every cent went
for gambling and high living.
He asked the jailer to let him
telephone.
1t was supposed he wanted to
talk to his wife or a lawyer.
He telephoned cigar store to
send two packs of cigarets.
