He was adopt ed by an unmarried daughter of MT. Burlinghame's in 1874. Two years later Leu was elected first president" of the Chinese Republic" at a meet ing under a large chestnut tree in a COW pasture near North Adams, held in connection with the Ceptehnial celebration to commemorate the tooth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. k. Chung, one of the members of the movement who met with Leu, was ordered to China with the news and to launch a campaign. Chung died before he reached China and the movement ended there although some of the principles laid down by Leu are now said to be incorporated in the laws of the present Chinese gov ernment.
 When Leu's foster mother died the Burlinghame property near here was left to him, and five per cent. of the remainder of the estate.

EXTERM|NA7|ONOF OF
 WHALES PREDICTED
Protection of Huge Sea Animal
 Is Needed, EnglishInan Says

London, Dec. 27.-If the killing of whales continues at the present rate they will be exterminated before an other decade, is the warning given by Sir Sidney r. farmer, F. R. S., di- rector of the natural history depart ment of the British museum. Recent investigations carried out in the whal- ing areas has revealed this alarming condition, he says
 The whaling industry has survived since the time of Alfred the Great, despite the fact that there has never been a year known when scores of boats did not leave the ports of Eng land, France, Spain and Scandinavia to hunt the sea animals Sir Sidney declared in recent address in which he urged legislation against further hunting of whales.
 The Greenland variety of the whale is already thought to be extinct and the hunting of the last few years has southern seas.
 The profits derived from the killing of these cataceonas are enormous and they increase yearly as the retail price of the oil and bone increases. A fair sized whale has ton of whale bone in its mouth, which alone is worth s10,000. It also produced about 30 tons of oil worth about $100 a ton. In the season of l915-16 the oil production from Antarctic whal- ing stations was S54,ooO barrels, or about 94,000 tons.
 During the war this oil was recog- nized as of vital importance in the of nitro- -glycerine. It Is now used in the making of soap.
 The principal whales caught today are a species of rorquals, or fin- whales; the blue whale, and the sperm whale. The latter, the hunt ing of which is principally confined to Americans. not only give sperm oil, but often contain ambergis, which is sold at s20 on ounce and used in the perfumery trade. The oil used for lubricating the wheels of watches comes from the dolphin, and is the finest oil known.

Redskin Beauty Who Adopted
 Style, Returns to AborigineS

Pittsfield, Minn., Dec. 27.-Princess Newana Grayfsh, IS years old Winne- bago Indian beauty, has been rein- stated in the good graces of her tribesmen after an exile because the conservative leaders of her tribe had decided she had taken on the char acteristics of the white f1apper.
 All last week the muffled booming of Indian drums, the joyful chanting of squaws and the weird yells of the warriors gave notice the princess had returned and the feast of Owatunka, the spirit of welcome was being cele- brated.
 Princess Newana is the wife of Dan Grayfish and the daughter of Chief Running Wolf.
 The decision to receive the princess back into the good graces of the tribe, even though her hair is still bobbed followed an epidemic of grippe which swept the Indian set No Indian died but the visi- tation was regarded as a bad sign and a council meeting decided Newana should be recalled.

put forth by the Turks to justify their claim to Mosul.
 The British note concludes
 "The British government reiterates It's refusal even to contemplate the surrender of the Mosul viayet and Is unable to see any advantage which can result from further argument"
 In discussing what Lord Curzon meant by the statement in his letter that the British delegation was will ing to have it's experts discuss with the Turkish experts the precise trac- ing of the northern boundary of the Mosul vilayet, British spokesman said this merely meant that the British delegation stands ready to ad- just the northern boundary--to move it few miles south if the Turks so desire, to give a more natural and more easily defensibe frontier. The British reply cited numerous instances of Kurdish revolts against the Turkish rule and denied the Turk ish claims that the Kurds and Turks are identical.

AUSTRIA'S ARMIES
 TROUBLE BREEDERS
Armed and Organized Forces a Menace to the Country'S Peace

Vienna, Dec 27.-Besides its little standing army Of about 25,000 men
 and it's state gendarmerie. Austria has
 two other armed and organized forces,
 both irregular and both probably
 without the pale of the treaty. In the opinion of many observers here the two last mentioned organizations may lead to trouble. They. are the admittedly we'll armed labor bat talions, and the growing "heimwehr" or conservative armed organizations of the provinces.
 The latter are composed largely of the peasants and lesser professional classes and ex-officers, and are par ticularly strong in Styria and the Tyrol. Just how and where they got arms. ammunition and equipment is not known. The allied military con- trol commission was supposed to have stripped the country of military material. but the fact remains that both these organizations are fully equipped and number many thou sands. Recently the police found in one of the "heimwehr" Headquarters not only guns and loaded clubs but hand grenades and poison gases.
 Incidents in Syria recently showed the danger of these factions. In one case strikers captured and disarmed gendarmes sent to subdue disturb ances, whereupon the governor of the province ordered out the local de- tachments of the army. The army is preponderantly socialist and sympa- thetic with the workers, but the sol diers obeyed orders, subdued the trouble makers, and released the po- licemen. The explanation is found in the fact that the governor had, at the same time assembled 2,000 of his 'heimwehr" and put them behind the soldiery to see they did what they were told to do.
 The two forces narrowly avoided serious clash recently in Judenburg, Styria, and this incident showed even more clearly the latent danger that lies in this condition of affairs. Workmen from some factories en- tered the homes of "heimwehr" peas ants at night and seized their arms. They were arrested in turn, and, when a first demand for their release was refused, nearly 2,000 workmen, mili- tarily armed and organized, assembled and marched on the town. Gendarmes were mobilized. reinforced by stu dents from the two state universities there, and for two days the two forces faced each other over little bridge. Then the government ordered the re- lease of the arrested workmen, and further trouble was avoided.
 The recent disclosure that the large industrial concerns of Austria are paying to their central body a regular tax greater than their state tax, for the maintenance of tech nical men," which is merely dis guise for strike breakers and secret police, has not served to lessen the ill feeling of the workingmen, and this condition is used by them as a justification for their own organiza- tions.

HORTICULTURIST IS
 LIVING IN POVERTY
Leu Gum Gong Now Dependent
 Upon Generosity of Friends

De Land, Fla, Dec. 27, (By Asso- ciated Press).--Leu Gim Gong, in- ternationally known horticulturist, president" of Chinese Republic and holder of the Wilder Medal awarded by the U. s. department of agriculture, is at his home here de. pendent upon the generosity oi friends, feeble and broken, with g heavy mortgage upon his home, which for many years has been one of the show places of central Florida.
 Friends in De Land are supplying his sustenance and have taken charge of his business affairs in the hope of clearing tip his debts. Leu resides on his estate with Fanny" mare which for 20 years has been his pet and sole companion. He lives vir- tually the life of a hermit and dur ing the last 16 years has visited De Land, the nearest town, but four times.
 Leu has numerous horticultural accomplishments to his credit, but the best known is the Leu Gim Gong orange, perfected in 1887, by crossing JHS VutullGIIduedll HoNcSI dllQ IIdII Lane varieties and for which he re- ceived the Wilder medal. The tree of this variety will thrive in climate too cold for others while the fruit will remain on the tree several years and maintain its maximum amount of juice and flavor.
 Investigated Grapefruit.
 In 1890, Leu investigated the grape fruit and produced a cross of the common Florida grapefruit and the tri-foliate orange. The fruit is of superior quality and the tree can stand from 10 to Is degrees lower temperature than ordinary varieties, Leu's last citrus development resulted in the perfumed grapefruit, which will permeate house with an agree able odor. It is cross of the pome- granate and grapefruit.
 Leu also perfected the cherry cur rant in Massachusetts, a cross of the ordinary currant and the grape. In other fields he produced an apple that ripened in July, late peach grown under glass with the fruit fipening in November, a salmon col ored raspberry and a tomato plant that grows to a height of 15 feet.
 Leu was born on a farm near Can-

More Arrests Likely.

Bastrop, La., Dec. 27.-There was an air of expectancy here and at Mer Rouge today as department of justice agents and representatives of the state government renewed their investiga- tion of Morehouse parish Kidnapping. They widcned their efforts to run down the persons responsible for the dynamiting of nearby lake which gave up the bodies of two men iden- tified as Watt Daniels and Thomas Richards. abducted by a masked mob last August. It was declared addi- tional arrests were imminent.
 Secret service men were reported to have discovered the place where the dynamite, said to have been 1500 ponds, was sold. and some of the men suspected of being implicated in the dynamiting were under surveillance.
 The arrest in Baltimore yesterday of Dr. B. M. McKoin, former mayor of Mer Rouge, at the request of Gov ernor Parker, caused considerable ex- citement here.
 Morehousc Parish.
 Morehouse parish and the town of BaStrop, which are in the limelight because of the kidnapping and killing of Daniels and Richards, have an in- teresting story.
 According to booklet published a few years ago by a resident of Mer Rouge. the town and parish got their names from a Kentuckian and Spanish nobleman.
 In 1S0S when Spain owned what is now the state of Louisiana, Span- iard, Baron de Bastrop, was said to have obtained from Spain contract to the effect that when he had in- duced five hundred families to settle in the country lying north and east of the Ouachita river he would acquire ownership of 12 league of land, or about 100000 acres, for his service.
 To help in the fulfillment of this contract Baron de Bastrop is credited with having enlisted the services of Abraham Morehouse, a Kentuckian. In turn Mr. Warehouse is said to have arranged with Captain Josiah Daven- port, a native of Rhode Island, to as- sist him in the colonization work.
 A statement signed by J. A. Syl- vester of Bastrop has been issued to the press in which doubt is expressed as to the identity of the bodies found in Lake La Fourche and claimed by relatives as those of Watt Daniels and Thomas Richards, alleged victims of hooded mob.
 Although it is rumored that the bodies of Daniels and Richards have been found there is no positive evil dence this is true" the statement said.
 K. K. K. Offers Aid
 Tn regard to efforts to clear up the affairs the statement added:
 Captain J. K. Skipworth has ten- iered to the attorney general the as- sistance and cooperation of 50 klans- men to be used in any capacity deemed necessary
 Everything possible is being done by the klan that would be of assis- ;ance to the state and other authori- .ies."
 Sylvester in the past had been credited with many public announce ments regarding the activities of the ocal klan and is looked upon by many IS one of the spokesmen of the lUcaf secret order.
