OPIUM IS UNSOLD IN U. S.:
SENT BACK TO MANILA
Washington Office Finds No De-
mand- for Confiscated
Drug.

MANILA, P. l.. January s.-Ap-
proximately 1000 pounds of confis-
Gated opium, which was sent by the
bureau of supply of the Philippine
Islands to the chief of the bureau
Of insuIar affairs, at Washington, for
sale in the United States more than
a year ago. has just been returned
here.
Several months after the opium
reached the United States the chief
Of the bureau of insular affairs sent
the following cablegram to the gov
ernor general:
"The pharmaceutical manufacturers
here do not make any offer for the
purchase of the nineteen cases of
opium. There is an abundant ship
ment Of Turkish opium in New York
city, with a more uniform amount Of
morphine. It is believed that the
shipment will be a complete loss"
In view of this cablegram the
opium was ordered returned to
Manila, where it is now being held
by the bureau of supply.
The publication of an article by
ana afternoon vernacular newspaper
that the opium had been abstrated
from the cans during the round trip
across the Pacific. and molasses sub
stituted, brought forth a denial from
the bureau of supply. 1t was asserted
that the cans had been opened by
secret service agents and all of the
drug had been found intact.
The value of opium confiscated dur
ing the last year and now in the
hands of the bureau Of supply is said
to amount to several hundred thou
sand dollars.

a part in keeping with the picador
who mounts him.
However, the sight of gored ami

HUMAN SIGHT THROUGH

French Investigator Makes Report
of "Eye Spots" Through Which,
He Says, Man Can See.
Atlantic Cable Service to The Star.

Cross Atlantic Cable Service to The Star.
PARIS, January S.-That men can
see through their skins and without
the use of their eyes. is the conten-
ton of Prof. Lou.. Farigoule of the
University of Pa1:s, in a book he
has just published on human vision.
He claims to hav. established this
fact by experiment.
The book is creating sensation IN
the medical world. but the doctors
hardly know what to make OF it. His
position in the scientific world is
such, however, that his name. back
ing any theory carries weight.
DR.. Farigoule says that there are
eve spots in the skin, quite different
from eyes, by which men can see.
He recounts experiments with hyp-
Noticed patients, blindfolded, and
with their eyes closed. After sus-
he says, they did SO. BY self-hypno-
tism he claims to have corroborated
these results.
Hunting an explanation, he says
he found in the skin nerve BINDINGS,
such as the ivy bodies" hitherto
thought to be organs of touch, and
comparable to the saucer-like struc-
lures in the pigs snout.
He finally developed the theory that
microscopic eyes. That we do not
mse them regularly he ascribed to the
fact that we are out of habit. SO that
thew do not function to the brain,
"a in the case of a man with a squlnt
in one eve, in which case the I'M
nression from that eye exerts no IN
f1uence on vision.

Politicians Say Presence Is No

PORT AU PRINCE. January S.-Re-
ports that Haitians formerly active
IN the politics of the republic were
trying to put forward a movement
looking to the withdrawal of Ameri-
can occupation forces have been
widely circulated in Port au Prince.
1t was said that arrangements were
being made by leaders of the move
ment to send a delegation to Wash
ington to urge that. inasmuch as the
bandit bands had been subdued, the
government be turned back to the
people. Military authorities do not
believe, however, that the agitation
will be far-rcaching.
Withdrawal of marines would mean
the instant departure Of nearly every
American in business in Haiti. ac-
cording to the view expressed by
Americans generally. Indeed, it is
SAD that IL the marines should go
President Dartiguenave would start
ahead of them
Discussing this posi- Utility, the presi-
dent has declared that, under the
treaty, the occupation forces will re-
main until the Washington govern
ment is convinced that the gendar-
merle is prepared to deal with any
situation. 1t is because of this under
standing that the agitation for with
draWal is not taken seriously by the
Haitian or American authorities al
though it appears to be growing in
some quarters.
The freedom with which some of
the Hai tan newspapers have accused
ana attacked marines has helped
old political leaders that they be sent
home.

BERLIN, January S.-Within the
next few weeks all the states and
free cities that from the reign of
Frederick the Great have been united
into the kingdom of Prussia, the hot
bed of militarism in Europe, will
vote to determine whether they shall
continue to belong to what is now
the republic of Prussia.
Many well known perSonages, from
President Ebert down, have urged
the working men and middle classes
to vote against dividing the home
of their fathers" The opportunity
is being used by the monarchists to
urge a return to kaiserdom.
Rev. DR.. Max Maursabrecher, a well
known member of the PruSsian diet,
writes in the reactionary Deutsche
Zeitung: -
What we need most of all is =
strong kaiserdom based on broad.
popular ideas. but thoroughly Ger
man in all its principles. There is
also need of Il great undivided and
unweakened Prussia that will be the
backbone of all Germany"
Count Posadowsky-We hner. form r
secretary of the interior. writes that
the monarchistic movement through
out Germany has grown very strong
in the past year, not for political
reasons, hut because the masses be-
lieNec that monarchism would mean
the return of law and order and bet
ter financial and economic conditions
TO Germany.

"knew how to eliminate racial and
national differences among the vari-
Gus states belonging to Germany. but
