POISONED PEN ACTIVE.
Seeks to Make Trouble for Wives
and Schoolgirls.

Passaic, N. j., has poisoned pen
woman who is not only telling hus-
bands and wives anonymously things
that are not true about their part
ners, but is telling parents that their
daughters in school are misbehaving.
The school letters were received
first. They told the parents. of five
girls, at school II, alleged details of
things they will be sure not to ap-
prove. These letters were turned
over to Herman F. Weber, the at
tendance officer, who made an inves-
tigation and found there was no foun-
dation for them.
A few days later three husbands
received letters telling them Of the
alleged doings of their wives, and
one wife received q similar letter
about her husband. The police were
notified and the letters turned over
to Chief Detective Turner. He re-
fuses to tell who received the letters
but says they are prominent people
in town. He also says that the let
ters were written evidently by a wo-
man, in a disguised hand. So far
there is no clue to the writer.

Talking Across Continent.

On January 25, 1915, telephone
communication was held between
New York and San Francisco. This
was the first time that the human
voice had ever been transmitted
across the continent, or in any otner
direction for such great distance.
The circuit when put up extended
from New York to Washington, D.
c., Jekyll Island, Ca, and California.
From the capital, President Wilson
spoke to President Moore of the Pan
ama-Pacifc Exposition, while the
president of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company listened in"
from Jekyll Island. Before this, how
ever, DR.. Alexander Graham Bell, in
ventor of the telephone, seated at a
desk in Gotham, talked with Thomas
A. Watson in San Francisco. These
two men, the first to speak across the
continent, were also the first ever to
use the telephone.--From the March

MODEIEs HER DEMANDS.
Japan Gives Concessions to China In
It's Discussions.

Japan has definitely modified her
attitude toward China in connection
with aer demands presented after oc-
cupation by Japan OF the German
concession at Kiao Chow.
Having already agreed to the Chi
nese counter proposals to discuss
Manchuria and Mongolia separately,
the. Japanese representatives have
verbally informed China they will
forego completely several Of their de-
mands and are prepared to modify
the clauses concerning the Hanagg.
Tayeh and Ping-Siang mining conces-
sions and Japenese residents and
traders in Manchuria and Mongolia.
The demands as now presented
have been drafted in the form Of a
treaty of agreement between China
and Japan.
Shortly after Japan captured Kiao
Chow, the German concession in Shall
Tung, Japanese diplomats began ne
gotiationS at .Peking to determine
the future status Of Japanese rela-
tions with China and to decide GER
tain questions concerning the future
Development Of the Chinese repub-
lie"
Japan presented to China 81 de-
mands which have been prescribed rs
far reaching, both in political and
commercial aspects. China was much
concerned. She protested that the de-
mands infringed on her sovereignty
and conficted with existing treaties.
The course Of these negotiations is
being watched with deep interest in
Washington, London, Berlin and
Petrograd. Dispatches from Peking
a few days ago said japan virtually
had threatened China with force un-
less she accepted her demands. Mes
sages from Tokyo and Yokohama
said Japan was sending fresh troops
to strengthen the Manchuria garri-
sons.

New Magnetic Transmission.

"One of the latest developments in
motor car equipment is an electrical
apparatus through which the power
of the gasoline engine is transmitted
to the propeller shaft solely by mag
netic force, thus doing away with the
necessity for gear shifts, or other me-
chanicel transmission" says the
March Popular Mechanics Magazine
in an illustrated article. This appa-
ratus differs radically from them or
dinary electrical transmission in that
only so much Of the power of the en-
gine as is required for Transmission
purposes is converted into electrical
force. The apparatus consists of two
electrical units, in both Of which the
armature is fixed to the propeller
shaft Of the car. IN the first, or for
ward, unit the field is fixed to the en-
CINE shaft and revolves with it, while
in the second, or rear, unit the field is
stationary and is supported on the
frame Of the car. In the various
stages Of operation the first unit acts
as dynamo, magnetic clutch, and mo-
to-, and the second unit as motor and
dynamo. The action Of these units
is controlled through resistance
coils"

calmly and without q tremor. She
even smiled at her captors.
Efforts were made to clear up
some of the points in the story, but
nobody would talk for publication.
Mr.. Osborne said over the phone:
''Under the circumstances I can
not discuss the matter or give out
the name Of the man who came to me
with the information that has en-
abled me to clear myself OF the
charge so quickly"
Told that the man was Oliver Os-
borne and the name was known to
all, Mr.. Osborne replied:
''I promised not to make 1t public,
and I shall keep my word. want
to say that he is one Of the whitest
men ever born. I have repeatedly
said that I would be fully vindicated,
and now it has been shown that there
was not a word Of truth In that wo-
mans story"
Word came from Plainfield, N. j.,
that about the middle Of the after
noon on October 18, 1914, man
and a woman called ct the Xensing-
tOu I1OIcl, uSdI t0S idIIIOdu oldlioU.
The man wrote in the register coli
YER Osborne and Mrs. Oliver Os-
borne" They were assigned to a
room, where they remained about
three hours. They went away and
did not return. The clerk could not
remember the appearance Of either
the man or the woman beyond that
they were well dressed and were
quiet and reserved.
Inquiry was made to discover
whether Miss Tanzer was not really
the victim Of an honest mistake. Oil
yer Osborne was positive in his state
ment that he told Miss Tanner just
who he was and that she had not the
slightest reason to doubt his word.
She knew that letters addressed to
him at Boston reached him, because
he replied to them. Therefore, she
could not have supposed that he was
member Of the New York Athletic
club, to which she had addressed SO
many letters that J. ". Osborne got
and had begun them, s'Dear Oliver. y
Oliver Osborne was positive also that
Miss Tanzer could not have mistaken
another man for him.

GREATEST ERUPTION YET.
Mt. Lassen's Outbreak Spreads Pal
Over Countryside.

In magnitude and duration Lassen
Peaks eighty-second outbreak Sat-
urday exceeded all previous erup-
tions.
Beginning at dawn, great column
Of dense black smoke rose from the
volcanoes principal crater and spread
a pail over the countryside for miles.
At 3 p. M, the eruption ceased, but
for an hour longer ashes continued
to fall fifteen miles away.
Whether other craters surrounding
the main vent were active could not
be ascertained owing to the black
billows from the peak, whose funnel
had an average width OF 200 feet.
Friday, however, two other vents,
one in desolate region three miles
away from the peak, and known as
Bumpas Hell, were unusually active.
Scientists who inspected Lassen
Peak last summer, it was recalled,
gave the warning: 'If Bumpas Hell
wakes up look out"

STOPPED BY SHOT.
German Steamer Tries to Slip Out OF
San Juan.

The German merchant steamer
Odenwalk, which attempted to leave
the port Of San Juan, Porto Rico
late Sunday without obtaining clear

passing out the entrance to the har-
Dor by two shots fred across he1

shots from a Maxim. She then re-
turned and was taken in charge BY

PREPARING REPLY.
Notes to be Sent to England and to
Germany.

It was stated definitely at the
White House Monday that a note to
Great Britain making representations
on some features Of the Order in
Council, is being framed and will be
dispatched to London in a few days.
The basis Of the representations was
not disclosed.
Representations to Germany for re-
paration for the loss Of the American
sailing ship William P. Frye and her
cargo, sunk in the South Atlantic BY
the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich, also are being pre-
pared and will be DISPATCHED to Ber-
lin in two or three days.
The presentations to Great Britain
are expected to dwell chiefly on Great
Britain's notice that she reserves the
right to hold up all goods suspected
of having an enemy origin or destina-
tion, even though consigned to neu-
trail ports.
