FIRST UNION FOR
FOREIGN TRADE
Fir Men Lead in Organiz-
ing for Cooperative
Selling Abroad.

Washington, Oct 15.-Despite the
failure of Congress 10 pass the Webb
act, which would have permitted com
bination for export trade, the Western
lumber manufacturers have organized
an export sales company 20 exploit
Douglas FIR and Western hemlock IN
the worlds lumber markets. Assured
that such an organization would not
violate the antitrust law, the Western
lumber manufacturers formed the COM
nanv At a recent meeting in San Fran
cisco. electing ". H. Talbot as presl-
dent. A. A. Baxter as general manager
and Charles Z. Hill as secretary.
The organization consists OF an ex-
mort sales company, representing SO per
cent Of the Douglas fir cut in this coun-
try. The Bureau Of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce considers it will give
American lumber a decided advantage
in the trade struggle that will follow
the war.
"The American campaign TO capture
foreign lumber markets has resulted
in the reorganization OF an export
sales company by Western lumber
manufacturers" said a statement IS
sueo by the bureau. This company
represents so per cent Of the Douglas
FIR cut in this country, and its object
is to exploit Douglas FIR and Western
hcrnlock in the worlds lumber mar
II IL expected, without violating
TIE nre.ent antitrust law, 70 give
American manufacturers some OF the
advantages that we're hoped for from
the Webb bill, which the last Con-
gress failed TO pass.
"The organization OF this company
is regarded as the most Important
ard farreaching step the industry has
taken 70 broaden its markets and meet

ganized lumber exporters OF Northern
Furope. In conjunction with the n
ve..igation of European lumber mar

DOUBLE IS SLAIN MAY WIN LIBERTY
In BAYONNE RIOT IF HE'S REAL HERO
Forger Says He Rescued
Body of Prince in
Zulu War

II Charles Hill, sixty-two, really is
the hero who rescued the body OF the
Prince Imperial. son OF Napoleon ILL.,
from destruction in the Zulu war. and
no, a crook. he may be paroled out OF
the penitentiary in short time. Judge
Grain in General Sessions committed
him TO the institution last week for an
indeterminate sentence for forging the
mama Of Mrs. Martha Collier, pro-
prietress Of an employment agency at
457 Fourth Avenue.
Hill appeared at Mrs. Golfers place
Tot long ago. and his gentility OF man
ner and outstanding appearance remind
ed the employment woman Of the hero
Of "The Passing Of the Third Floor
Back" She could not, however, pene-
trste his mystery. Hill told her he had
been employed by detectives who fur
nished strikebreakers 70 the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit Company. She OBJ
tanned for him a position as a waiter.
Proposed Marriage
Hill returned 10 call on her several
times and later wrote letter 70 her
proposing marriage. Mrs. Golfers
brain was sent into a whirl one day
when she received letter from Hill,
saying that if she would join a Scotch
Presbyterian church, marry him and
send a copy Of the marriage certificate
20 Edinburgh 100000 would imme-
diately be forthcoming TO them.
Mrs Collier thought over all the
mysterious things Hill had told her;
how he came from a good family and
how he rescued the body Of the Prince
Imperial so il could be brought back
20 France But she didn't accept Hills
offer Of marriage.
A few days later sh. discovered that
Hill had forged one Of her checks for
SO. She had him arrested. Hill told
Judge Grain that while cleaning out a
drawer in Mrs. Golfers Office one day
he came on a bottle that contained
what ne thought was calomel. He said
he took some.
Thinks He Was Dragged

honor, for il made ne feel ike a colt"
said Hill. prancing around on the stand
70 illustrate the way he behaved. Il
was under the influence of the thing
when wronged Mrs. Collier II wasn't
intentional"
At first the Assistant District Attor-
ney's Office thought Hills mysterious
reticence was for the purpose of hid
ing long criminal career, but the po-
lice are satisfied that the man was
never arrested before. It is now be-
.ieved that he IS trying 20 shield his
relatives.

CANCER RELIEF
SEEN IN TESTS
Continued from page I

this is brought about only BY opera
tons.
In many Of DR.. Walkers most sue
cessful cases no question OF doubtful
diagnosis can be -aised. One patient
was an Italian laborer. twenty-one
gears old, operated on at the Msssa-
cnusetts General Hospital. in Boston.
He was discharged from the hospital
resulted in q diagnosis Of cancer OF
the stomach. The hospital chart
showed the operation had relieved"
him.
tn. patient came under Or. Walker,
cafe eighteen months later with all
the signs Of recurrent cancer. He was
treated with selenium and a rigid diet
enforced. This was continued for
year, with intervals OF cessation from
all medication. and was stopped last
January. Two weeks ago the man was
working as a day laborer, had suffered
no pain from the cancer in more than
year, had good appetite, good
coiCr, and had gained thirty pounds
since he began the treatment.
Patient Regains Health
Gaze OF man ffty-nine years old.
He was told after diagnosis at Johns
Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, that he
was suffering from cancer OF the
tongue. Radium was applied in April
and June, 1918. but the patient told
Or. Walker that he continued TO grow
worse. In July, 1915. treatment with
selenium was begun and continued for
ge~eral months, az the end OF which
he returned 10 his home in Canada
With the alterations healed. Last
July he wrote DR.. Walker that there
had been no sign Of recurrence. and
re vas attending 20 business regu-
.srly.
A woman forty years old was oper-
ated on for cancer az 81. Luke's Hospi-
tai in 1912. A microscopic examina-
ton confirmed the diagnosis. The
trouble returned in 1913 and the Sc
lenium treatment was administered for
a year Last August the patient said
she felt better than she had for many
wears and was suffering no pain what
soever. She was still gaining weight,
though the treatment had been dlscon-
tinued almost two years before.
One Of the most remarkable cases IS
that of the manager Of a Stock tx
change house, Who In July, 1914. when
ne was sixty-three, consulted two spe-
cialists and was told, following an Y
Raw examination, that he had cancer
and could live only short time. he
then weighed about 100 pounds. Treat
ment with selenium was begun ana
continued for a year, at the end OF
which he weighed 1877 pounds and was
attending 20 business. He has since
continued well.
