JAPANESE METHOD .
GETS REAL PEARL

Paris, Nov. 26.-Pearls are pearls,
whether produced by, the. Japanese
method or artifcially stimulating
their products in oysters or formed|in
the usual-manner, so far as French
science can determine. NJ. Boutain
in a report to the Academy Of science
shows that the process of formation
is the same in both cases and the
only difference is in the large score
of the Japanese" pearl. Among jew
elers there has been some difference
of opinion, but the majority seemed
to agree that only by holding pearls
to the light and judging the size OF
the core could they distinguish be-
tween "real" and cultivated pearls.
In the Japanese" method some
small objct is placed in the oyster
which promptly protects itself by
depositing about the intruder the
pearl substance, exactly as it does
when such an object gets into the
shell accidentally. There was no ex-
PLANTATION as to why "real" pearls are
found only about small cores. The
reason for the larger core in the cul-
tivated stone is the need to hasten
the process so it will be profitable.

WORK OF RARE SKILL
Movable Steel Dam Built IL
Canal.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 3O.-A NOV
able steel dam, placing Of which is
described by the government officials
in the office Of the United States
engineer here as a remarkable en-
gineering feat, is nearing completion
in the north canal at Sault Ste.
Mare, Mich. The most remarkable
feature of the work, the engineers
say, is the swinging Of the entire
framework of the dam, weighing ap-
proxi1hately 80 tons into place at
one time. This was accomplished by
means of stiff leg derrick on either
side Of the canal.
The dam will have been installed
by December 1, the engineers say,
work of placing the gates being un-
der way at present.
The dam was not desired to afford
protection to two locks in the 500
canal. When the dam~is completed it
will be possible to shut off the water
supply through the canal entirely.
Placing of the structare is a precau-
tionary measure entirely it is point
ed out. If at any time any Of the
gates in the locks become out of or
der it would be impossible to stop
the flow of water which might flow
through the canal at a high rate Of
speed, imperiling shipping and carry
ing aay other locks. It is to prevent
such an occurrence that the dam was
authorized. by the government.
The new dam is said by engineers
to mark a new step in such construc-
ton the entire framework and gates
being built of steel.
The dam is to be operated much
like a draw bridge being divided in
the middle. It will be possible to
close either Or both sides at time
keeping the water from one or two
locks, as desired. The dam will be
tested each month.

Witness Tells Senators Of Cannibai'
. ism Among Haitian Bandits
Washington, Nov. 25.-The tor
turing and eating of Private Law
renee and the killing and mutilation
Of Lieutenant Muth of the Marine
Corps by bandits of Haiti were de-
scribed before the special Senate in
vestigating committee today by P.
M. Bilkington of New York, a tech
nical expert, who, as manager of the
American Developing Company, was
in that Country two years. He assert
ed that the cannibals had the primi-
tive idea that by eating human flesh
they acquired the courage and for
titude of their victims, but related
incidents of marines lost in the
mountainous country being cared for
by the bandits.
The natives were generally de-
scribed by the witness as amiable,
docile and amenable, and the higher
class as competent to conduct an In
dependent Government. Lack Of Sc
curity for foreign capital and the
failure of the United States to make
the treaty effective were criticised
by Mr.. Pilkington. The natives, he
said, objected to foreigners, fearing
they would take control of govern
mept away from them. They also OBJ
jected to the construction of good
roads, he explained, because it in
volved the destruction in many in
stances of their shady trails, and al
so because automobiles killed their
burros. I
Defective land titles prevented de-
velopment the witnes said there hav-
ing been no survey of the country
prior to American occupation. This
Government now was making, he
said, complete and valuable sur
vey.

SCOTCH LIQUOR VALUED
AT $1,000, 900 SEIZED

New York, Nov. 2S.-More> than
1000 cases of Scotch liquor valued
at s1,O0O,OOO have been seized by
federal prohibition authorities in
bonded warehouses here, it was
learned tonight, following discov-
cry that enormous quantities of i'm
ported intoxicants were being di-
yerted to bootleg channels. The
seizures were made in cooperation
with customs authorities.
E. C. Yellowley, acting federal
prohibition director, said that his
department contemplated the further
confscation here and in nearby ports
of an additional $5,OOO,OOO worth OF
liquors.
A shipment of more than 5000
cases of whiskey consigned to the
Alps Drug company, wholesalers
whose license recently revoked by
Mr.. Yellowley, was the first seized
Part of another confscated shipment
he said, was found to be actually
consigned to a national bank here
which had been furnishing letters Of
credit for two large liquor firms. Mr.
Yellowley said the bank was under
investigation by Washington authori
ties.

FORD IS STILL
NITRATE PLANT
DETROIT MOTOR CAR MANUFAc.
TURER BELIEVED GETTING
READY TO SUBMIT. PROPOSE
TON FOR BUYING BIG DAM
AND NITRATE PLANT.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Govern
ment officials in touch with the hego'
tiations of Henry Ford for purchase
and lease of the Muscle Shoals, Ala
bama, nitrate and water power pro-
iects, said today they expected &c
receive soon from Mr.. Ford modi'
fled proposal, probably a complete
substitution for the one now under
discussion.
The expected offer would be an out
growth of the recent conference
here between Secretary of Commerce
Hoover, Major General Beach, chief
of army engineer and Mr.. Ford and
his advisers that conference was un-
derstood to be non-productive in the
way of progress on the offer before
the conferees.
Differences as to the present pro-
posal exist between the governments
representatives and Mr.. Ford which
apparently cannot be removed. 1t
was said authoritativly today that If
the proposal was submitted to Con-
press in its present form that body
Immediately would not accept it.
BeliefSthat Congress would reject
the offer was said to be justified on
the ground of economy and its re-
peated refusal to appropriate more
money for the completion Of the
Muscle Shoals project. If the Ford
plan was accepted by Congress more
than $3O,000,000 have to be made
available for the completion of the
Wilson dam. Army estimates recent
ly revised by the engineers placed the
figures at between s42,0OO,OO0 and
$55,OOo,OOO.
Mr.. Ford has offered $2S,OO0,OOO
for this work, and it was understood
firmly declined in conference with
Mr.. Hoover to increase that allow
ance. Thus the negotiations have been
at least temporarily abandoned until
Mr.. Ford, with Thomas A. Edison,
the inventor, makes a new survey of
the project. When Mr.. Ford has
made the inspection and receiver the
advise of Mr.. edison concerning the
natural possibilities of development
at Muscle Shoals, officials <here ex-
pect him to return with modified
proposal. What the notifications will
be they said depended largeA upon
the decision to be reached later by
Mr.. Ford but would probably take
a form that would eliminate the
existing differences.

Stories of By Elmo

Great Scouts wst.en
q, Western Newspaper Union.
SHARPE GROVER, "BEST SCOUT
GOVERNMENT EVER HAD"

1.-THE best scout the government ever
had" said some of the army officers
for whom Sharpe Grover secuted dur
ing the Indian wars in Kansas in
lS67-GS, and more than once he showed
himself worthy Of the title. He had
married a Sioux woman, and lived
with the tribe for years. He could
speak their language and knew their
ways. AS trailer and reader of
signs, Grover was without a peer.
He could tell how long since the
tracks had meen made; whether they
were by horses or ponies, shod or IN
shod: how many were ridden, how
many were driven; whether it was q
war party or one moving from one
camp to another.
When the Sioux went ON the war
path in 1866, Grover left them and
Joined the army as scout for Custer.
In August, 1868, with Billy Comstock,
another noted scout, he visited the
camp of Chief Turkey Leg Of the Chey-
ennes, whose warriors were supposed
to be friendly. One of the Indians,
however, saw the fine pearl-handled re-
volver carried by Comstock and deter
mined to have it. When the scouts
left the camp seven Cheyennes rode
away with them. ..-
While engaged in friendly conversa-
ton, the Indians suddenly dropped to
the rear and opened fire. Comstock
was killed instantly and Grover badly
wounded, but lying on the ground and
making desperate defense of Com
stocks body, he fought off the Indians
until nightfall and escaped.
The next month Grover Joined Gen.
G. "A. Forsyth's band of scouts and
was with them at the celebrated
Beecher's Island fight. AS Roman
Noses warriors shouted to each other,
Grover understood everything they
said, and told Forsyth what they were
planning to do. After the biggest
charge of the Sioux and Cheyennes
had been turned back. Forsyth turned
to Grover and said: Can they do bet
ter than that, Grover?'
II have been on the plains, man and
boy, for 30 years, and never saw such
a charge before" was the scouts reply.
81 think they have done their level
best i
"All right, we're good for them,
then" said Forsyth.
For years the fact that Grover was
with Forsyth that day was kept from
the Indians, for he was friendly with
them, and they would have killed him
without mercy, had they known. Later
they did learn it and attempted sew
eral times to kill him, but he always
escaped. Unfortunately Grover drank
heavily. and few years after the
Beecher fight he was killed in a
row at Pond City, near Fort Wallace,
an inglorious end for so great scout.
