American Defied Law In
Africa; Is Shot by Soldiers

down by British Soiuiels IA ZIG
depths of the jungles OF Central
Africa, where for years. in deti-
ance of all authority, he had pur-
sued the career of an elephant
poacher and illicit ivory trader,
James Ward Rogers, an Amen-
can, is dead. He was shot down
by a little force of troops winch
had been into the wilderness IN
pursuit, with orders not to return
without the outlaw, dead or alive.
News of Rogers death came
formally today to the British col
onial office from Capt. c. V.
Fox, inspector of Mongahall pro-
vince, who commanded the expe-
dition. Although told in an Off
cial report, the story revealed
is one of the most dramatic In
colonial annals.
For years Rogers had carried
on his lawless trade, which pop
, ular opinion credited with netting
him a fortune. The regmote re-
gions along the Laqo Enclaye
and Congo boundaries were the
scenes of his operations. Time
after time British officials of the
Soudan had tried in vain to trap
him. Il was this defiance of years
which determined the govern
ment to crush the the old man.
Captain Fox's report shows
that in his long operations Rogers
had done more than had been
dreamed of by the colonial Off
GERS. He had established an or
ganized administration over the
wild trackless country and among
he natives was a virtual, if un-
l! crowned, king.
The success of the outlaw in
handling his subjects" and in
the pursuit of his trade from
Captain Fox, in his report, the
tribute that Rogers work was
worthy of a better cause. Not
since the explorer, Henry M.
Stanley, pierced the jungles in
1871. and found DR.. Livingston,
has such a tale of hardships,
trials and dangers come out Of
Africa. Captain Fox's report, in
this respect, resembles most
nearly, perhaps. the tale Of Gen.
eral Funston's logged pursuit OF
Aguinaldo in the Philippines.
For the purpose Of tracking the
outlaw the English commander
was given a non-commissioned
subordinate and six Soudanese
soldiers. Body carriers and mules
for the transportation of supplies
were part of his equipments.
His instructions were plain-not
to return until the outlaw was
captured.
With soldiers disregard for
red tape, Captain Fox, in his
report, fails to mention dates in
describing the manhunt. Appa-
rently the denouement of the
Jungle drama came three months
ago.
The pursuers then had spent
weeks plunging through the
jungle that defied passage.
Rogers cunningly leading them
through the densest of swamps,
forests and across deep streams.
Before the outlaw was overtaken
he had crossed the Nile into the
Belgian Congo.
gaCreeping up the Uganda |
bank of the Nile the expedition
pushed forward for six weeks be-
fore the quarry was located.
Fox and his men had then worn
their clothes to tatters and their
were exhausted, leaving
them facing starvation in the
wilderness.
The last twelve hours of pur-
suit was particularly trying. The
chase led over a mountain with
men only q short distance
in advance. AS they fed, the
natives Of the outlaw

COAL RESOURCES OF TEXAS

The United States Geological Surveys estimates of the coal areas of Texas show that the bituminous fields known to con- tain workable coal cover S2OO square miles, and that $500 squ- are miles, not so well known, may contain workable coal The known Ignite areas cover 2,000 square miles, and there are 53, 900 square miles, extending from Sabine and Red rivers on the east and north to Rio Grande on the southwest, which may con- tain workable beds of Ignite. The estimated original supply of bituminous coal in Texas is plac- ed at S,000,000,O00 short tons and of Ignite at 23,OOoOOO.00O tons, making a total of 3l,OOo,0OO, ,OOO tons as the original supply. From this there had been mined to the close of 1910 a total of 20, 056,6 short tons. which repre- sents an exhaustion of approXi mately 30,O00,OO0 tons. the ex- haustion being one-tenth of 1 per cent of the original supply. The supply left in the ground at the close of 1910 would be equal to 19,000 times the production of that year.

CLEANING EMBROIDERY

Apropos of embroidery, lace-mak-
ing and fine needlework, it is we'll to
know how to clean articles of this
kind without having to send them to
a professional cleaner.
If you will wash all your fine en-
broideries yourself by the following
method. not trusting them to the
hired maid or washerwoman. you will.
no doubt, have splendid results.
Put half pint of bran into the
same amount of cold water and let it
come to a boil slowly. After it has
boiled twenty minutes. strain off the
bran water and add a pint of boil
ing water. Use this mixture instead
of soap when washing fancy work.
fine embroideries and laces for the
first time. Be careful not to rub.
wiring or twist them. but just squeeze
them gently with the hands after the
first washing in this manner. Soap
jelly made by dissolving "a pure white
soap in boiling water may be used
A little salt added to the rinse
water, which should be clean and
moderately hot, will set the color in
embroidery silks and cottons, if there
Is any fear of their running. 1t is best
to immerse colored embroideries in
strong salt water before they are
washed at all Then there will be no
danger of the colors running.
Fancy work should be dried as
