VIM. D. HAYWOOD HERE

WI u. TIA 'WOOO I1GNE
William D. Haywood, leader
of the Industrial Workers of the
World, is in Chicago, seeking sup
port for the general strike he in
tends to call Sept. &c..
The strike is to be a gigantic
protest against the imprisonment
of Joe Ettor and Arturo Giovan
nitti, leaders of the Lawrence,
Mass, strike, on a false charge of
murder, and their being denied
trial.
81 am getting the support Of
many labor leaders," said Hay
wood: ct is not only union men
who are going out with US either.
Non-union men feel as deeply
outraged by the treatment of Ell
tor and Giovannitti as do union
men.
This viii be the greatest strike
America has ever known. l am
confident that at least 10000
men will walk out the first day.

Others will come out later.
The, strikers will be of all
trades and both sexes. 1t will
not only be Americas greatest
strike; it also will be the greatest
protest against injustice ever
voiced in the history of the
world"
Haywood probably viii leave
for New York tomorrow. The
American Federation of Labor
has repudiated the general strike.

Contract Let For Santa Fe
Extension.

The contract for building the grade
Of the Dodge City & Cilnarron line OF
the Santa Fe for the first section from
Dodge City TO Santa Fe Junction, in
Haskell county, has been awarded to
Ransom & Cook, railroad construction
company OF Ottawa.
The contract provides that the grade
be finished from Dodge City to the easl
line Of Gray county by April 18th, and
TO the west line of Gray county by May
18th, and to Santa Fe Junction in
southwest Haskell county by June 10.
If the weather conditions are right,
the graders would begin work January
10, but IL IL feared the ground will not
be in condition for grade building by
then.
It appears that the Santa Fe is not
only building south to tap what might
be regarded as Rock Island territory
in southwest Kans"s, but is also get.
ting ready to invade Union Pacific ter.
ritory in northwestern Kansas.
1t has been rumored for some Tim,
that the Scott City Northern line re
Gently built through Scott and LoRaI
counties to Winona, on the Union Pa
citlc, is Santa Fe project, especially
since the Santa Fe bought the connect
ing line between Garden City an,
Scott City.

built in 1911, compiled from officia
sources. and the Scott City Northern
listed as owned by the Santa Fe.

Value of Evidence

From the Pittshurg Chronicie-Telegraph.
 In case recently decided in a justices court in Washington county 15 men tes- tified that a certain driver of an automo- bile had not blown his horn at a crossing. while on the other side two young women testified emphatically that the horn was sounded. The justice decided in favor of the defendant, accepting the testimony of the women.
 Some persons seem to think 1t odd that the testimony of two girls should out weigh that of 15 men. but that is really not the proper way of looking at the matter If two men had been positive that the horn had been sounded and Ia women had not heard 1t. the result would probably have been the same in the mind of the court Sex really had nothing. or should have nothing, to do with the case. The point illustrates the difficulty

Hats From Shavings

From Harper'S Weekly
 Many of the handsome summer hats worn by the ladies are made of shavings It is said that the finest examples of this industry are the product of Japan, where these wooden ribbons appear in divers forms certain of which passes almost the sheen and delicacy of satin, while others show a decided resemblance of soft and dainty crepes.
 It appears that only about To per cent of the chip is exported in the form of wooden ribbons. the remainder being worked into what is known to commerce as chip braid.' This is utilized in the same manner as straw braid-that is, for hats, baskets. and similar articles.
 The exports from Japan in a single year have approximated $,o0o0Oo. the United States being a large buyer. The trade is steadily increasing. inasmuch as the industry Is comparatively new one. While willow is considerably used h1 Ger many, the Japanese manufacture employ European poplar, spruce. Chinese cypress cherry. buckeye, paulonia, false hickory and other kinds of wood. The chip is pro- duced by blaming with special tools, the shavings being about l5 inches long and lia inches wide
 , The product is very easily dyed. and it is of such thinness and flexibiilty that the daintest effects in millinery goods can be obtained.

The Oldest Order
Westminster Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette.
 What is the oldest order in existence? The claim is made for that of the Holy Sepulchre, the grand officership of which has Just been conferred by the Pope on member of the Irish nationalist party, Sir Thomas Grattan Esmond. It appears that no date or the name of founder can be assigned to the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, though there is legendary tradition that traces its origin to the time of Charlemagne. In the middle of the last century, however, when the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem was reestab- lished, the office of grand master of the order was transferred to it by Pope Plus the Ninth. who many years later, in 1868, created by statute three ranks of the or der-the Grand Cross, Commander and Knight The costume is 8 white cloak with the cross of Jerusalem in red enam- el The Pope himself is grand master of the order. a4
