FIND BODY OF MAN
LOST TWO YEARS AGO
GRUESOME DISCOVERY MADE
NEAR ELK CITY-ALBERT WOOD
is FOUND AT LAST

GRANGEVILLE.-T remains of
Albert Wood, who was lost in the
mountains back of Elk City two years
ago, have been found by forest fire
fighters
Wood was a miner, hunter and
trapper and was lost while on hunt
ing expedition two years ago. Search
ing parties from Elk City spent sew
eral days in the effort to rescue him
but the efforts were without avail
and it was thought perhaps he had
become deranged in mind and had
wandered out of the district.
Yesterday the report was received
from Elk City that fire fighters had
found the remains in one of the Wild
est sections of Sheep hill, 20 miles
from Dixie. Identification was made
certain by his name carved on his
hunting knife and his initials on his
rifle His watch, purse and other be-
longings were found near the skeleton.
AS far. as known Wood had no rel
atives in this section. He had made
headquarters at Elk City for several
years and was well known to the
miners and prospectors.

vOODOOS SACRIFICE
LIVES OF CHILDREN
CUBAN NEGROES REPORTED TO
BE MAKING HUMAN SACRI-
FICES TO STRANGE GODS

HAVANA, Cuba.-( Correspondence
of The Associated Press. with the
recent sudden outbreak of cannibalistic
practices by Voodoo worshippers that
have resulted in the deaths of at least
, three innocent children and a half
dozen of the Voodoos, the latter by the
application of "lyncy" law for the first
time in this country's history, fathers
and mothers are living in constant
fear that their little ones may be
spirited away by the superstitious
negroes to be offered up in sacrifice
to "Chango,' the god of the "Brujos, ,
as they are called in the Catsillian
language.
The Voodoos are divided in various
sects, each with it's separate god. The
latter include "Babegueye," god of
sickness; "Elecua,' gor of injury;
"Olorrun," god of misery, and
"Chango," the terrible god, to whom
human sacrifices are made.
"Chango," according to the Voodoo
belief, was the son of Olorrun and
Anaragua He was slain by Elecua,
the 'god of injury" and ascended into
heaven from Ceiba, or god-tree, in
the month of May. 1t is in the month
of may therefore, that the sBrujos"
observe their Holy week when Change
is expected to make weekly visit to
the earth, descending by the Ceiba, his
sacred tree, always on Monday.
The followers of Elecua do not dir
rectly offer human sacrifice although
their healers sacrifice lives of some
patients, by giving them poisonous
supposedly mysterious
cure for some ailment, in order to re-
store to health some other patient,
Elecua, being the "god of injury" his
followers believe good can come to
one person only through injury to an
other.
Voodooism is not practiced by the |
negroes alone Many white persons
also are said to secretly take part in
their religious meetings and accusa-
tions have been heard in various
quarters of the difficulties encounter
ed by officers seeking to break up
their temples because of obstacles
placed in their way by persons of in
fluence.
An active campaign by the authori-
ties in Havana and other parts of the
sland have resulted in the capture of
"Brujos" and the seizure of
many curious and weird objects used
oy them.

Why Shoes High.
Another major development of the
day was the making public of the
federal trade. commissions report on
the shoe industry investigation. This
report charged that the high price of
shoes resulted from excessive profits
taken by every factor in the trade.
The packers, tanners, manufacturers
and retailers all shared in the blame.
The report was placed before Attor-

Since the foregoing table was pub

ed labor of navy plants have increased
as has every other item going into the
maintenance of ship.
There will be approximately 200
vessels in the new Pacific fleet. All
will not be in the service and the
battleships will number only about
fifteen at all times, but multiplication
of types of craft by the average cost
of maintenance in 1915 yields an i'm
