Profits From Aban doned Lands.

After many millions had been
obtained from their forests prod
ucts the lands of Northern Mich
igan and Minnesota were aban-
doned by the lumber companies.
Within the past few years how
ever, it has been realized that
these waste areas, although
partly covered with water and
scrub timber may be made to
yield additional profit. Large
holdings have been purchased,
principally by Eastern interest,
and ca pital has been secured for
clearing and placing immense
tracts under cultivation. AS a
part of the financial plans of
these operations, funds are
also available for bringing fam
lilies to the land and for main
tanning them until they have be-
come self-supporting. Hand
some profits have already been
realized by the promoters and
even larger returns are expected
in the future from advances in
the land values and from the
sale of the products of the areas
which have been converted into
farms and orchards.
Similar undertakings in the
South would requite a much
smaller outlay of capital and
would yield proportionately much
larger profits than have been
obtained in the northwest.
South of Richmond and within
easy distance of its markets,
there are thousands of acres of
waste lands from which the first
growth of timber has been
taken. Large areas may be
bought at very low prices per
acre. The second growth of
timber when converted into
shingles or slaves would prob
ably return in profits the original
amount of the purchase, or at
least, would afford sufficient
funds to bring the land under
cultivation and to place settlers
upon it. The whole or the large
part of the amount obtained
from the sale of the lands to
truck and other farmers would
be clear profit. A great oppor-
tunity exists for business men
with broad visions to add to the
wealth and trade Of Richmond
and to develop the agricultural
resources of Virginia, and at the
same time, to secure handsome
returns for their own services
and for the capital invested

Why People 60 10 Church.

Some 90 to church, to tell the

Because of habit formed in

Some go because they like to

Some goes because they think

Some 60 because they are afraid
That not to go might injure trade
Some go to take restful snooze,
In the peaceful, quiet pews
Some 60 to simply gaze and stare
And see what other people wear
Some 90 just to settle strife
Get rid of baby and scolding wife
And yet among the chaff we find
Much golden grain of human

out of deprivation sprang reck-

You did not understand, moth
er-of-hers, wherever you are.
You could not see with her eyes.
Your own were filled with
pictures of family wash and cook

dust cloths.
Fate has paid you in stingy
and bitter pence.
But that is just what she saw,
that and the thankless yoke un-

struggle and strain and surrend-

The wings of her fancy kept
beating across the miles and car
ried her into a dreamland Ct Joy
and gayety where work would
be as children's play, with real
money all her own, to spend as
she chose-to buy what she wish

But the wage shrank when it
reached her-its purchasing
power shrivled.
Five dollars a week(six, seven

give shelter and sustennance.
At first she was straight it

Few have the intuition to COM

And now she has paid the

The city has dropped its mask

She sees the man back home

TORNADO IN SOUTH WALES
Men Killed, Tombstones Up
rooted, Churches Raced.

London. oct. 29.-A storm of unpar-
alleled fury swept through South Wales,
on Monday night. The storm seems to
have been Of the true tornado type, a
visitation very rare in this country. Its
marked characteristic was a narrow
belt Of destruction, enormous damage
being done over width of about 200
yards.
Churches and Chapels were RACED TO
the ground and many houses utterly
demolished. Two men were killed and
hundreds injured. one man who was
killed must have been picked up from
the roadway by the wind and carried
300 yards before being dashed TO the
ground. SO terrific was the rush Of
wind in several villages that whole
streets were practically destroyed,
houses being unroofed and the walls
either shattered or carried away.
At Treharris Cemetery the chapel
was destroyed and the tombstones torn
from their foundations. At Abercynon
one Of the streets was almost entirely
demolished.

Bayonne. who easily recognize them on

tired saloonkeeper. of No 10 West 10th
street, Bayonne. was given a chance 70
break the bank OF faro game backed by
"a string of millionaire clubs the ofer
looked so good to him that he turned
over a large part of his capital TO two
comparative strangers.
Even after Brady lost $1,000 on the turn
OF a card he still wanted to make another
venture in spite OF the advice Of friends
and was only persuaded that his new ac-
uuantances were confidence men when
he saw one Of them arrested by Deputy
Police Commissioner Dougherty's men.
Brady then told the whole story.
He met a man who said he was Robert
W Woodford. at Belmont Park. three
months ago. Woodford. who is about
ffty-ive wears old. said that he lived IN
Morsemere. y. j. According to the
police he is also known as William 5.
Woods.
Woodford showed Brady a letter from
friend i'm Havana who he said was the
faro dealer working for IA string OF
millionaire clubs throughout the big
cities" Ten days later Woodford intro
duced Brady to the man from havana
and suggested that easy money might ne
made by the dealer playing against the
bank with the aid Of accomplices. NJ
first the dealer seemed to be shocked at
the idea OF such duplicity. but was finally
persuaded when shown a bogus news
paper story of the death OF the man VINO
backed the string Of clubs.
The dealers scruples being thus DIS
posed Of. Brady was fitted out with even
ing clothes so that he might mix soclaiIy
with the "millionares,' and was taken

Central Park West Brady had only 8C~

5000 so that he could make decent
wager Then Woodford produced S5'W'
more and at signal from the dealer they
wagered the $1,000 on the turn OF card
The $4,000 was lost There was some
mistake I'm the signals. Brady was per-
suaded. however, that II was only neces-
sary To have better signals TO clean up
handsomely on the game, and was for
pIunging again He said that Woodford
wanted him 10 raise $4,000, but finally
said that he had borrowed the money for
him but must have $3.50 interest In ad-
vance. Brady put up the interest money
and they went to the Pennsylvania STA
ton to board a train for Washington
where IL was explained. the scene OF
operations was then established.
AZ they were about 10 get on the tram
Woodford received word that the scene
had shifted to Chicago, so the game was
of for that day. Brady made an appoint

KRUPP DISCLOSURES BEGIN
Court Adjourns Suddenly and
Witnesses House Is Searched.

Berlin, Oct 8.-At the resumption to-
day of the trial OF Otto Eccius and Maxi
milan Brandt, OF the Krupp concern, on
charge OF bribing officials, Herr Won
Metzen, formerly chief representative in
Berlin Of the Krupps, took the witness
stand. He testified that his employers
were aware OF the nature OF Macmillan
Brandt's activities for several years, and
swore that upon taking over his post IN
Berlin. in 1909, he called the attention OF
the firm 10 the dangers OF Brandts sub
terranean work, the nature OF which had
been explained TO him by Otto Eccius and
Herr Won Schuetz, the witnesses prede-
cessor.
He added that he had withheld his cor
respondence with the firm for the purpose
of using IL in suing the Krupps on ac-
count of his dismissal from their service.
The correspondence, he declared, would
prove to the hilt that the entire directo-
rate or at least many OF the directors OF
Krupps were aware of what was going
on. He said Brandt had been exclusively
employed in the preparation OF secret re-
ports, and that when he presented his
expense accounts for money spent during
his intercourse with army officers the
firm substituted lump sum and entered
it as expenses OF representation" when
Won Metzen declined TO put his signature
on the vouchers.
Won Metzen's testimony was, Of course.
in fat contradiction TO that given by
various directors OF Krupps, and the pro-
duction by him OF the first Of a series u
substantiating letters which had passed
between him and the firm was a surprise
to the prosecution, which had conducted
the preliminary examinations Of the
Krupp directors in ignorance Of this cor.
respondence.
The court afterward adjourned the
hearing and directed an immediate search
of Herr Won Metzen's house In order TO
discover what further surprises he might
have in reserve.

Madrid. oct 2S-The new Cabinet
met to-day and began its promised at
tempt to reorganize the government on
more conservative lines, but the prog
ress made was small. 1t appears GER
tain that the appointment Of new gov
ernors for all the provinces will prove

Admiral Miranda, Minister OF the

friends persuaded him to withdraw MS

In an interview with prominent

conversation expresses his doubts as TO

pressing the view that in a short time
some of the apparently most ardent
monarchists will be the main support
Of the Spanish republic.
The situation is still regarded as very

FOR NEW ZEALAND NAVY
Two Million Dollar Cruiser To
Be Built for Dominion.

Wellington, New Zealand oct Is
The government of the Dominion of New
Zealand decided to-day to adopt the pol
icy of building a navy of it's own on the
same lines as that of the Commonwealth
of Australasia and to discontinue its
subsidy to the imperial British navy.
Premier William Ferguson Massey. in
announcing the reversal of the present
system, explained that the decision Of
the government 10 assume the greater
responsibility was due TO the inability
of the British Admiralty to carry out its
agreement of 1909 and station two cruis-
ers of the Bristol type of $500 tons dis
placement in New Zealand waters, the
Dominion bearing the cost Of their up
keep.
The British Admiralty had substituted
for these two cruisers the Psyche and
the Pyramus, Of 2,135 tons displacement,
which were unsatisfactory to the Do
minion, and the Premier proposed to rec
ommend TO the New Zealand Parliament
an order for the construction in Eng
land in 1914 of a cruiser OF the Bristol
type at a cost Of 100000
This and other war vessels acquired
by New Zealand, the Premier said. would
be under the administration of the Do
minion in peace time but would pass
automatically into the control of the Ad-
miralty during war time or when they
might be urgently needed.
Premier Massey concluded that the
British dominions in the Pacific aimed at
nothing less than the same naval SUI
premacy in those seas as was held by
their kinsmen on the other side of the
world

All Shades Of Thought in Great
Britain Represented IN
Meeting Of Protest.
POGROM AvERTED IN LODI
Grave Apprehensions OBTAIN
That Conclusion of Kieff Trial
Will Be Marked by Mas
sacres of Jews.
tBy Cable TO The Tribune ]

London. oct. 29.-Reports reachlng
this country from Russia give rise 10
the sravest apprehensions that the
conclusion Of the so-called ritual muir
der trial will be marked by massacre
Of Jews in that country. pogrom
would .have broken out in LODI on
Monday but for the prompt interven-
ton Of the police.
The monstrous and medieval nature
of the allegation that the murder OF
the boy Yushinsky was committed 10
nrovide blood for Jewish Passover
cakes has aroused a storm of indigna-
tion here as elsewhere throughout the
world.
Last night a meeting Of protest was
held in London. 1t was remarkable
gathering, all shades of religious ana
political convictions being represented
upon the platform. while series or
letters was read which left no doubt
that the keenest sympathy of the Brit
;sh nation has been aroused by what
one speaker described as this most
odfous Tibet upon a long suffering
race"
Among those whose letters were
read were Bonar Law. Joseph Chamber
lain. T. p. OConnor. Lord Rothschild.
Lord Roseb berry. the Earl of Selborne,
the Duke of Norfolk. Viscount Miner.
Israel Zangwil, the Archbishops of
Canterbury and York and the Bishops
of London. Carlisle. Winchester, ROch-
ester. St. Adams oxford and Manches-
ter
4 resolution was passed protesting
against the recrudesence of the utterly
baseless and wicked blood ritual charge
against the Jewish people, or any sec
ton of it, made in the course Of the
trial of the man Beiliss, and inviting
the moral support Of the civilized world
for the Russian government in any
measures it may take for protecting
the Jewish subjects of the Emperor
from further obloquy, insult OF hurt"
Darkest Russia" under the heading
THE Pogrom Peril" publishes an ar
ticle stating its apprehension that the
trial of Beiliss will be followed by pog
roms all over Russia.
Dr. Hertz, the new chief rabbi. max
ing his first appearance at a public
meeting since his election, said: This
blood accusation, this blood ritual story,
is a relic of the days of black magic.
II is a cruel libel"
A Catholic priest reused the meet
ing to fervent enthusiasm with an elo-
quent avowal Of his disbelief in the
accusation.
