SMUGGLING CHINESE GIRLS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 27-Four
Chinese girls dressed IN mems clothes,
who had been smuggled across the Pa
cific in the hold of the Nippon Maru
through the city streets today to the
Office of the surveyor of the port They
had been secretly arrested last night
as they stepped from the ships gang
plank in company with Leong Moon,
Chinese Interpreter for the vessel.
T In making the arrest w. H. J. Deasy,
customs guard, refused a bribe IF
$1,000, which happens to be just $40
more than his annual salary, with the
knowledge that he was virtually sure
to escape detection.
Deasy noticed Leong lettering about
the pier last night and questioned him.
While they were talking, four figures in
loose overcoats, with slouch hats drawn
over their eyes. came sinking down
the gangplank.
"Who are these?" asked Deasy
They all lite; they my flen," an
swered Leong.
Deasy began a search for arms.
opium or other contraband.
Leong grew uneasy. He began to
, offer hush money-frst $3.50, then $3.50
then $1,000. The girls were worth four
| times that to him.
Deasy marched all five back aboard
ship and locked the four muffled fig
ures in one room and the interpreter in
another. Then he telephoned to the
surveyors office.
Before Chief Inspector Stephens the
girls gave their names and said they
were two pairs of sisters Further,
| they would not talk. Leong Moon de-
MED offering any bribe, didn't know
how the girls got aboard, how they had
been fed during the voyage, never hdG
| seen them before meeting them that
night on the gangway and was alto
gether placid and imperturable. Sup
| posedly, the girls were slowed away

A Very Ancient Skeleton

New York Sun: cmfwycmfwypcm mt
The mummy known as Ra-Nefer,
which is in the museum of the Royal
College of Surgeons, has been described
as the oldest mummy known. The date
assigned to it by Prof Elliot Smith
was the age of Senefru, the beginning
of Egypt's fourth dynasty, about 3700
year 3. c. Some human remains, how
ever have now been discovered at
Sakkara, about Is miles from Cairo,
belonging to the period of the end of
the second and the beginning of the
third dynasties, about 1000 years B. c.
Among them is the skeleton of a wom-
an about 35 years of age, which was
found completely invested in a large
series of bandages, and next to the
tody was a corroded woven cloth. The
corrosion, says Professor Smith, was
presumptive evidence that some ma
terial, probably crude natron, was ap-
a view to its preservation, and he has
thus been able to trace to a higher an
tiquity than had previously been done,
the use of this method for preserving
toe body of the dead.-New York Sun.

Seaxyeed Millinery

A rather unusual industry along the
Kentish coast has come to public at
tention through a complaint lodged
with the Kent fisheries committee. The
the adjoining districts on the east coast
CT Kent have for many years been col
lecting a white seaweed that is washed
up along the shore, which seaweed has
been used by London and provincial
hats. This, it seems, has grown into a
profitable industry during the winter
months, when farm work is not to be
had. Its continuance is threatened by
the practice of trawlers who attach
barbed wires to their travis and gather
the white seaweed before it is ripe,
selling the algae thus collected at a
very low figure. In the ordinary way
the seaweed falls off from the roots
and is washed ashore, but the travis
stroy the source of supply besides
leaving nothing for the islanders to col
let but the refuse that has been thrown
back into the sea by the trawIers. 1t
was asked, among other things, that
close season for the weed be
adopted.

JUDGE RAMSAYTO
HEAR INJUNCTION

Judge F. D. Ramsey Of Morrison is
expected here Friday TO convene the
branch of the circuit court and hear
the petition filed by the city of Rock
Island in which an Injunction is asked
to restrain A. W. Billburg from con-
tinuing to operate his saloon in de-
fance of the city ordinances. The
matter was first brought before Judge
w. H. Gest. but at the request of the
city was taken before Judge E. c.
Graves. The defense then asked a
change of venue and that leaves it up
to Judge Ramsay, though in case of
need there is nothing to prevent Judge
Gest from hearing it.
The quo warranto proceedings filed
by the city in which it is asked that
Billburg be made to show by what
right he operates his saloon in Rock
Island, may also come up before Judge
Ramsay in case he comes Friday as
expected.

complainant alleged that Busch,
without provocation, struck him on
the jaw with his fist. He said that
he went into the restaurant to see
what had become of Thomas Kohl
meyer and the statues that he had
left with him. He claims that Busch
came in, struck up a defiant attitude
and then did some real striking,
landing a haymaker on the jaw.
BUSCH TELLS ANOTHER.
Busch's story as to the little fight
was somewhat at variance with Gu.
iuccis story. He said that the ven.
der came in, dirtied up the floor with
his muddy shoes, as ne had done or
many previous occasions, refused tt
| get out when asked to do so and was
escorted to the door. He says he
may have hit him. He remembered
not as the little fracas occurred Mon
day night.
