Halifax, N. s., May I. - The sun

TITANIC INQUIRY
ABOUT TO CLOSE
Senator Smith Adjourns Hear
ings until Friday Morning.
WRECK NEWS RECEIVED EARLY
Witness States that Information that
Titanic Had Sunk Was Received
BY White Star People Twelve
Hours Before Announced.

WAshinUt0n. May /. - In difference
to the wishes Of his colleagues on the
senate sue4committee investigating
the circumstances Of the Titanic disas,
ter, william Alden Smith announced
the adjournment Of the hearings until
10 o'clock Friday morning.
The senAtor said, following adjourn
ment that he would take advantage
OF the recess and. 80 to New York to
investigate the Statement made before
the committee that the White Star line
had authoritative news of the sinking
Of the Titanic by O'clock Monday
morning, nearly twelve hours before
they announced the loss.
Edward Dunn, wall paper importer
of Beechhurst, l.. l., testified that he
knew that such a message was handled
by the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany early Monday morning. Dunn
refused to divulge the name of his in
formant, saying that to do so would
deprive an operator from which this
information came of his job. He was
kept in custody by sergeant-at-arms
Of the senate all day, hut persisted in
his refusal to give up the name of his
informant. He is still under restraint.
Effort was made by Senator Smith
10 obtain the alleged wessage from
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, but the statement was made
that the messages delivered to the
White Star line that Monday morning
had been lost. 1t is said Senator
Smith will take the natter up with
the telegraph company cf'cials.
Vice President Franklin of the In
tcrnational Mercantile Marine COM
pany, assured Senator Smith that
thorough investigation of the story
would be welcomed by the White Star
line.
With these proceedings the senate
finished with all the British Illnesses
Who have been here, including J.
3ruce Ismay, president of the Inter-
national Mercantile Marine company.
Mr. Ismay and all his associates left
the city.
1t is generally accc'tod here that

end. The committee may proceed to

Strawberries Every Month.

A strawberry plant, imported from
Siberia last spring by Edward Dixon
of Forest Grove, Ore. bears fruit every
month in the year, the berries being
white in color when fully ripe. The
berries are not 80 large as the Oregon
berry. The flavor resembles that Of a
pineapple.
Blossoms and fruit are found on the
plant every week in the year; how
ever the best season for bearing is
from August I until about the end of
the year.
The berries hang in clusters on a
long, slender stem. Each plant has
several stems on which the fruit grow.
The stems with leaves bear no fruit.
Instead of propagating new plants
from runners, as is the case OF native
strawberries, In this species the par
ent plant Is broken up, the several
Ifruit-bearing stems are separated and
planted individually. - New York

LOVE STORY OF ARcHDUKE
Ferdinand Charles Louis Of Bavaria,
Welded to Rosa cxuber, Enjoy.
Ing Peaceful Exile.

The Archduke Ferdinand Charles
Louis of Austria, scratched from the
Almanach Gotha, scratched from the
army, deprived of all his titles, ranks
and orders, is peacefully enjoying per-
feet love as an exile. He is now known
M. Ferdinand Berg, and is painting on
the borders of Lake Lugano.
His fault was q gracious one. for
to marry morganatically has become
almost a habit in the Hapsbourg fam
lily. But this fault was aggravated by
the fact that the marriage was cele-
brated without imperial authorization.
His elder broth, the heir to the throne,
and the ducheresse of Hohenberg, who
were likewise separated by a great
difference in station, were more adroit,
and had taken into their play Madame
Schrab, the mistress of Francis Jo-
seph. -
Madame Ferdinand Berg, nee Rosa
Czubers has nothing with which to re-
proach herself for having made con-
quest Of the archduke in an official
reception at Prague. The archduke
had Immediately demanded her hand,
but the severe DR.. Czuber made him
wait five years.
1t is only a question now of OBJ
tanning the pardon of the emperor
Francis Joseph. The archduchesse
Annonciade Is employed to do this,
but it Is feared all her efforts will re-
main unfruitful If she can not first

Luecken's Wooden Shoe Shop.

ing Is low frame structure IL feet
square and occupies site in the cor
ner Of the garden adjoining his home.
The little building is well supplied
with light there being three windows.
a door and skylight.
The floor Of the shop is covered
with wood chips. Tools such as are
used by skilled wood carver hang In
orderly fashion about the walls. In one
corner Of the room stands very small
stove. His work bench in another cor
ner consists of a six-foot log some 10
or IL inches in diameter resting on
four sticks Of wood. In the center of
this rudely constructed work bench is
groove. One cannot but admire the
skill Of the old German when he first
shapes block of wood to conform to
the foot. He holds the block Of shoe
wood on large oak block and
Yields a keen edged Ratchet with q
degree Of accuracy that is amazing.
Wood chips fly in all directions with
each stroke Of the Ratchet. Gradually
the block of wood assumes the form
Of shoe. The block Is then placed in
the groove and an auger-like tool is
used In boring out the interior of the
shoe. The boring process continues
until the interior is rounded out to
conform to the shape Of the foot. After
the interior and exterior of the shoe
are smoothed out 1t is ready for the
wearer.
The shoes are made according to
the length and breadth Of the foot as
computed by inches. The host of pa
irons whom Luecken supplies with
wooden shoes every year includes
men, women and children. In price
the shoes range from As to 65 cents.
Shoes made Of birch come higher be-
cause they last longer than those made
of poplar and other wood. Luecken
can turn out several pairs a day. In
addition to supplying the regular chan
mel of trade he sells hundreds OF wood
en- shoes to visitors who buy them as
souvenirs. Luecken says that the
young American has never formed the
habit OF wearing wooden shoes-the
young American prefers tight fitting
shoes made Of leather and the painful
corns that 60 with them. The feet
Of those who wear wooden shoes are
never deformed by corns; bunions, etc.
II Luecken does not have your size
shoe in stock and you are In hurry
he sends you to one Of the general
stores In Ferdinand, where you can
make your selection from a large
stock. He supplies the merchants
with their stock Of wooden shoes. II
10 Q very common sight In Ferdinand
to see a patron of Mr.. Luecken drive
into town wearing a pair Of wooden
shoes. They come from all parts Of
Dubois county.

70 ABOLISH GERMAN SALUTE
movement Afoot Against Taking on
tho Hat on Occasions Of Meet
Ing and Separation.

The progress in urbanity-the art
or city life-which Is taking place
among modern Germans is illustrated
by the movement for modifying, or al
together doing away with the Ser
man salute" says csblegram to the
New York American. Under the ex-
precision IL meant the traditional
fashion Of taking OF the hat on occa-
sions OF meeting or separation. It Is
highly elaborate performance, In
three motions, suggesting military
precision, the first being the raising
OF the hat with stifny extended arm,
the second the lowering Of It to the
knee with q downward cutting motion
and the third the similarly precise
replacement on the head. The action
between adults appears formal enough
to draw a smile from foreigners of
easier manners. but - becomes slaugh-
able when one sees Il practiced with
all gravity between A pair ofai school
boys or college 6tudSnts. How deeply
the German ssluteyis engrained in
the national forms OF so-called polite
ness is proved b. thS story of the
Independently minded subordinate of-
ncial who steadily reused to make
the traditional obSlsance to the
chief" and got the alternative OF max
ing It or being dismissed. In Ger
many It is etiquette for a gentleman
meeting a lady Of his acquaintance In
the street to take of his hat to her be-
fore she bows. In Anglo Saxon coun-
tries the reverse is the practice, and
an American woman would feel not

ZuIla.


It is stated that no matter what
class of animal Is brought to Jerez
de Ia Frontera, Spain, in two genera
tons it acquires remarkable tough
ness and endurance. This is attributed
partly to the climate, but principally
to their feeding on rich, wild clov-
er called "zulla," found only In the
province of Cadiz, which people there
say Is the finest food in the world
for horses.
The xulla is very rich in sustenance
and grows to three or four feet In
height, and with more luxuriance in
chalky. clayey soil, such as is found
here in the vineyards which produce
the famous Jerez wine or sherry. 1t

seems to grow best wild.
