Chairman Clayton, as we'll as Attor-

one acre of ground a crop of ginseng
which he has already contracted to
sell for $4,000. The plot of ground
contains between $4,000 and 10000
roots, which when dry will weigh
more than an ounce apiece. Ginseng
sells at from Sc to So a pound and is
a scarce article.
Mr.. Kittle began on a small scale
several years ago, when he planted
some ginseng on the plot. Then he
set out plants in large quantities in
the shade of small patch of woods.
He has studied the subject, expert
mented and nursed his crop and now
has an acre of ginseng which, he
claims, "is worth it's weight in gold"

Marooned for Ten Years

Winnipeg, Oct. 31.-Hudson Bay
officials here have just received mea-
ger reports from the north that par
ty of Esquimaux were rescued from
an island in the mouth of Hudson Bay
upon which they had been marooned
for ten years. It appears that the
Esquimaux were caught off shore on
drift ice and carried after long weeks
of hardships to the island upon which
they were found. The island has
been avoided by passing ships be-
cause of reefs and magnetic disturb
ances which affected ships compass
es. 1t is over 100 miles from land.
The Esquimaux had lived during
the period after their forced stay on
fish and seal. Several children were
born in the decade of their imprison-
ment and some of the party had died.
Those who were rescued seemed te
be in good health.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Residents

the United States who have been in
the habit of making frequent trips
across the line will no longer be per-
mitted to make travelling liquor and
cirgar stores of themselves in an ef-
fort to evade the American customs
laws. The treasury department has
taken cognizance of the fact that the
same travellers repeatedly returned
with the permitted quart of liquor
and a thousand cigars and cigarettes,
which later, according to customs Of
ficials were sold in this country.
The flourishing traffic caught the
eye of customs inspectors in North
Dakota who asked for ruling as to
how far the custom regulations could
be strained in this direction. The de-

Mexican Reports Exaggerated

Washington, Oct. 31.-W. R. Allen,
former lieutenant-governor of Mon
tana, who was In Washington today
enroute to Montana, via Boston,
brought with him an interesting re-
port on conditions in Mexico, where
he spent the past three weeks. Mr..
Allen says emphatically that condi-
tions in Mexico, at least in the north
ern states where he was, are nothing
like as serious as have been repre-
sented in press dispatches.
During his stay in Mexico he trav-
eled over a considerable part of the
country, particularly the northern
states, where conditions are believed
to be worse. He says that in most of
the Mexican towns he visited, disor-
der is no greater than in American
cities of the same size, and he saw
little evidence of violence. It is his
opinion that Americans in Mexico, at
least in these sections where he trav-
eled, are and have peen in no par
ticular danger, and he believes there
is no necessity for American evacu-
alton of Mexican territory.

HOT POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
New York Voters May Repudiat<
Tammany Rule

New York, Nov. 1.-The battle for
the mayoralty of New York, with at
tendant skirmishes for lesser offices
practically closed tonight, ending a
campaign in which economic issues
were buried under an interchange of
personalities and food of speeches.
The foes of Tammany Hall, united
under the standard of the fusion can.
didates, with John Purroy Mitchell as
their leader, have centered their fire
upon Charles F. Murphy, Tammany
chieftain. Mitchell, although a tire
less campaigner, was eclipsed as an
orator by John A. Hennessy, a politi-
cal comet, whose course detected the
candidates from their prescribed or
bits of campaigning to acrimonious
debate, largely centered about the re-
cent removal of William Sulzer from
Office and revelations resultant there
from. Hennessy was Sulzer's inves-
tigator of graft in state departments
and he has made public what he says
he unearthed in the way of corrup-
ton.
Fusion leaders tonight predicted the
election of Mitchell by pluralities rang.
ing from $4,000 to 125,000. Tammany
was equally confident that Mccall

recession to develop. "This is the

asserted. "If big men are not willing
to accept their responsibilities they
should lay them down. If responsible

in the nationwide story of the dyna-

was written today when the case was
called before the United States Cir

Thirty of the thirty-three labor

equally guilty with the Mcnamara
brothers in promoting explosions ask
that the court of appeals set aside
the verdicts rendered at Indianapolis
last December and that they We given
new trial.
A sentence of seven years, the
heaviest of all, hangs over Frank M.
Ryan, who is out on $4,000 bond
pending this appeal. He was given
the longest term, Judge A. B. Ander-
son at Indianapolis said, because he
was president of the international AS
sociation of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers. out of whose funds the
expenses of the dynamiters were paid.
