london Wool Sales Now Over.

London - The wool auction sales
closed Monday with offerings Of 5000
bales. The selection was good and it
was readily absorbed at firm prices.
The feature Of the series was the re-
cent recovery in most grades in antici-
patton of further government orders.
The usual American demand was lack
ing, through difficulty in getting IL
censes. Compared with the last auc-
tions, fine merino and cross-breds
closed unchanged, while other grades
to 10 per cent lower. Eighty-seven
thousand bales were sold.

FIND MONEY GIVEN
TO N. Y. UNDERTAKEN
Buried Under Tee at Long Island
Detectives Digs Up Big Roll
of Bills

NEW YORK, March 31.-Buried
under a tree at the extreme tip Of
Long Island. a detective late today
found roll of bills which Eugene
Oliver Kane, the embalmer. asserted
was forced upon him by DR.. Arthur
Warren Waite in an effort to induce
him to swear there was arsenic in the
EN- balming fluid used on the body OF
Waite's father-in-la John II. Peck
of Grand Rapids. for whose murder
the young dentist was indicted today.
The roll which Waite told District At
torney Edward Swami contained
$4,000, totalled only $500 when it
was found by the detective. Kane said
he never counted the money while II
was in his possession and therefore did
not know whether Yates count was
accurate.
According to the story told by
Waite he also gave Kane a check for
S9,400 which Kane admitted having
accepted. This check has not yet
been located.
Waites attorney said today he sug-
gested to the prisoner an insanity de-
fense but Waite replied, "Tm just as
sane rs you arc. You can't help me
that way. I'm not afraid Of the elec-
tric chair"

BRITISH SEEING
AMERICAN GOODS
NEGOTIATIONS Are Now Underway To
Reach Agreement: Explain Re-
cent Order in Council.

LONDON, March 31.-(7 p. M
Negotiations are proceeding with the
American government regarding seiz-
ures of American securities en- route
from Holland. The foreign office
states that none was seized except
when there was strong evidence that
the securities had recently been in
Germany and Germans were profit
ing by their sale. Such securities bore
German stamps or marks that divi-
dends had recently been paid to Ger
man banks.
A vehement protest was made ny
an American firm in the case of one
particularly large seizure. The pro-
test was on the ground that only
neutral interests were involved in
the transaction but the government
intercepted a message from a Frank
furt firm asking the American con-
sgnees to protest.
The foreign office today explained
yesterdays order in council cancelling
adherence to certain sections Of the
declaration of London which made
distinctions between the treatment of
absolute and of conditional contra
bard goods. The foreign office says
such distinctions have ceased to have
any practical importance in this war
and that consequently the govern
ment declared its right to pursue !,
policy of scizng conditional contra
band consigned to neutral ports.
1t takes the ground that since the
German government has taken con-
troll of many comm modities which are
not munitions of war. such commodi-
ties have the same status as If they
are consigned directly to the army or
the government.

GUARDING OF STATE SECRETS
Methods Used in War Time to Pre-
vent RCnding Of Documents.

In war time there are numerous
important state secrets which must be
prevented from leaking out, and they
are guarded by various ingenious de-
vices. For instance. in British gov
ernment offices the writing on I'M
portant documents is dried by meanu
of roller blotters. These consist of re-
volvng cylinders covered with blot
ting paper. which are run over wet
ink The writing is impressed on the
cylinder in confused jumble, inn
possible to decipher as would be the
case If the ordinary flat blotter were
used. In some cases black blotting
paper is used to dry official letters,
as it is much safer than the pink or
white variety. Important kilograms,
il not in code, often have to be guard =
ed from prying eyes by government
officials. For this purpose they use
a simple little invention which con-
sists of telegraph form prepared
with perforated gummed edge. The
message having been written, the
form is folded over and the edges
gummed down. as in the case of Il
letter-card. and its contents are hid
den from the messenger who carries
II to the telegraph office.
Each battleship carries a book of
code signals which holds the mean
ing of the little flags which flutter at
the masthead when ships communi-
cate The code-book Is of immense
Importance. and strict precautions
are taken against it falling into the
hands of the enemy. Each volume is
heavily weighted with lead in the
cover. so that in an emergency 1t can
be thrown into the sea with the GER
tainty that it will sink.-Philadelphi

HERO DISPATCH BEARERS.

The invention of wireless telegraphy
has done away with much of the old
time dispatch sending which was so
picturesque a feature of previous wars.
Often when two friendly armies are
separated by "A force of the enemy 1t
is a matter of defeat or victory that

opened between them. Thousands of
brave men have lost their lives in per-
forming this temporary war postal
service.
During the Russo Japanese war an
officer of Cossacks offered to carry a
dispatch which ten horsemen had al
ready failed to get through.

insisted. because they travelled on

Under your horse,' the general ex-
claimed. But he accepted the offer of
the volunteer. Whereupon the Cos
sack officer received the communion,
said his prayers, bade goodby to his
men and started off in the middle of
the night strapped face downward be-
meath his horse. which he guided by
means of passing the reins between
the foreegs of the horse. The Jap
anese outposts whistled to what they
thought was a rdcrless horse, but did
not shoot at it when it did not heed
them. The animal, driven on by kicks
from the officers heels, accomplished
the journey of thirty miles in safety.
On the following night the officer re-
turned as he had gone.
When Lieutenant Gilmore, an Of
ficer of our navy. was captured by the
F'ilipinos during the insurrection four
teen years ago he sent news of his
whereabouts through the Filipino lines
by a Spanish prisoner who had been
liberated. Naturally all such persons
were carefully searched. But the in
surgent officer had failed to examine
the bamboo walking staff of the
Spaniard. The end had been opened,
