suspicion and distrust which, in view
OF the fact that these officials were
men of his own choosing, would seem
inexplicable in a man Of normal mind.

persistently refused even to speak to
those officials of his department with
whom he should mutually have been
in constant personal communication.

weeks during which Mr.. MacVeaeh
refused to have any relations with
him. know there were several longer
periods of curiously suspended rela-
tons with Assistant Secretary Norton.
Mr.. McClung, the treasurer OF the
United States aff1rms that he has only
been allowed one short interview
with the secretary covering period
of more than a year. Mr.. Ralph, the
director of the bureau Of engraving
and printing, has repeatedly CON-
planned of similar treatment OF him
self and many other instances could
be cited. In my own case, with an Of
fee adjoining and communicating
with that of the secretary, the situa-

although I have been supposed to
have been the representative OF the
secretary in his dealings with nine

OF the treasury, I have not been al

than one hours conversation with
him, including private interviews and
conferences in the presence of 9th

Old Methods of Rubber Gather
ing Cost Many Lives.
Peru Failed to Keep Promises Made
Second Paper by Sir Roger Case
ment Shows Appeals fer Re-
form Have Been Ignored.

London. A sensational second
chapter in the expose by Sir
Roger Easement, the British con-
sul-general at Rio Janeiro, who
was sent by the British govern
ment to the Amazon to Investigate
stories of outrages on natives IN the
rubber district, came out recently in
the shape of a supplementary report
to the foreign office, which shows that
there has been practically total fall
ure on the part of the Peruvian gov
eminent to respond to the demand Tor
a reform of the rubber atrocities in
the Putumayo district, says London
cable.
A mass of official correspondence,
which also was filed, completes the
story and indicates generally the cor
dial cooperation Of the state depart
ment at Washington with the British
foreign office to secure remedy FOR
the abuses.
The second Easement report indi-
Gates that Peru not only did nothing,
but seemed to have no intention OF
LdhINS any dCllOIl AL bAAO -
taken by that government were dila-
tory and feeble and wholly ineffective.
None of the reforms promised by
Peru, according to Sir Rogers report
has been carried out. The civilized
methods of the plantation have been
abandoned and the old rubber col
lecting methods resumed. The re-
turns show that the 10000 tons or
rubber collected in IL years pro-
duced from $5,oOO,00o to $7,500,oOO
and entailed the death of 10000 In
dams, whose bones are scattered
through the forest and have made GER
tain places resemble battlefelds.
The responsibility for this, accord
ing to Sir Roger. is strictly British
as the whole output of the region is
placed on the English market and con-
veyed from Iquitos in British bottoms.
Some employers are British subjects
and the commercial future of the dis
trict is dependent on British capital.
In July Sir Edward Grey, after so
Letting the cooperation Of the United
States, pressed Peru harder not only
to punish the criminals, but to enact
legislation making slavery criminal
offense The president Of Peru was
reminded of his treaty obligations to
Great Britain and was also urged to
establish a religious mission In the
Putumayo district, with headquarters
in Iquitos, with government backing
and a substantial subsidy.
Just about this time the United
States stepped in and brought pres
sure to bear on Peru. On June 20.

IDEAS ENOUGH TO SUIT ALL
Nothing But Ones Own Taste is the
Guide for the Present Season
Millinery.

The truth is. the fashionable woman
has not such a choice in hats as the
multitude. Look at any of the pas
sengers on a street car and you will
find that there are not two alike.
Some wear a miniature tall hat made
on the manly model. Others have
taken the chimney pot, made the
crown shallower at the back than at
the front, and added narrow up
turned brim. Pretty girls hide their
faces by a sort of turban that de-
scends below the eyebrows and has
an upturned battlemented brim and
feathers behind, anywhere, in fact, but
where a feather used to be. Some
wear a Dutch bonnet of silk with no
stiffening, turning back from the face.
When this is made of soft brown sat
in, the color of the hair, it looks as If
the wearer had forgotten her headgear
altogether.
Enormous hats have wells, carefully
adjusted. so that the face seems TO
be suspended in hammock. Even
the ubiquitous sailor has yielded to
the cheap tunnel-shaped straws to be
bought for a small price.
But the fashionable woman has to
choose with greater care. She can
only permit herself TO be bizarre with
a difference" and there are sufficient
shapes to get one to suit her if it so
pleases her. So much in hat de-
pends on the way 1t is put on, and The
hat of today needs much adjustment.
