 SIGNS OF OLD AGE
800 Year Old Cypress Beginning to Give Appearance of Wear
 and Tear.

Mexico City. April 14.-The Great Tree of Tule" in the state of Oaxaca, after some so years of recorded ex- lstence, is beginning to show signs of wear and tear, This giant cypress, with Il trunk so hugo that 3 persons with ontstretched arms can scarcely span 1t, is known to have been n fair sized tree when Columbus discovered America, and history recounts that Cortcs and his Spanish soldiers slept beneath its branches four centuries ago when en route to Honduras fol- lowing their conquest of Mexico,
 But although time has dealth kind ly with the monarch, the correspond ont during a recent visit to tho tiny Village of Santa Maria del Tulc, OaNaca, noticed that the wrinkles of age are beginning to show. There is no immediate cause for worry how ever, that Tule, as the Indians af- footionatoly call the tree. will wther away before the present generation has passed on. And even if it should Tule has son some 30 yards away rom the parental boughs that is showing healthy signs of maintaining the family honor in the matter of TO- business. Hijo (son), as the Indians have named it, already is so large that -2 persons are needed to span it and Iliio is only a couple of hundred years old.
 The Great Tree of Tule rises abo q 175 feet, and is said to be one of the largest specimens in tho world. The spread of its branches is almost 150 feet. It stands in the courtyard of n tiny church and is the only bid for popular interest made by the village of Santa Maria del Tule whose popu- latlon revcres the tree almost as much as one of its saints.

criccieth. Wales, April 1a,--Pre- mier Lloyd George is never so hap py as when swapping stories about his boyhood days with old cronics Of his native Wales.
 During his last visit here he gave tea party to 19 ancients who were his fathers pupils at Troedyrallt school moro than 60 years ago. The senior "old boy" was Jones, 9l, who still works as a carpenter. Next to Jones was William Davies, an assist ant teacher under the Premier's faith CT, who testified to the latters hand mess with the cane on occasions.

 The Lebaudy fortune was accumu- lated by the old French sugar king. The story of the curse, as told by familiars of the founder of the for tune, is that he stopped to sharp practices in dealing with the sugar beet farmers of a French village. The result was that some families were reduced to poverty and starva- ton. A young mother, seeing her in- fant daughter die from hunger, sought out Lebaudy and cursed him saying:
 Your sugar shall turn to gall; the sweetness of your fortune shall turn to bitterness for you and your chill dren and your childrens children"
 After Jacques Lebaudy came into inheritance of the fortune, he startled Paris by many wild undertakings, the climax coming when he decided to set himself up as Emperor of the Saha-

PLAN NEW BUILDING ON SITE OF CHURCH
Cleveland to Have TVenty-0ne
 Story Structure

Cleveland, O., April S.--Plans for the erection of a twenty-story build = ing to cost approximately $1,5O0,0O0 have been announced by trustees of the First Presbyterian (Old Stone) church. The building will be erected on Ontario street, adjoining the church, which is one of Cleveland's s landmarks. It will occupy space on which the chapel stands at present, and will have a frontage of 100 feet on Ontario street and extend back about ITO feet on West 2nd street.
 No change is contemplated in the main church building, which has stood at Ontario street and Public Square for over ninety years
 The proposed new building will be used for Sunday school, parlors, of fees, dining room, committee rooms, etc, in such part as is required by the church, and the remainder will be ar ranged for office purposes for the general public. It is expected the rental from the latter will be sufficient to maintain Old Stone church in- definitely in it's present location.
 Dr. A. B. Meldrum, the present pas- tor, is the fifth who has officiated at Old Stone church since it's founda- ton. Rev. Dr. Meldrum will com pcte twenty years in that pastorate on May IS.

POLICE ARE AFTER
 ALLEGED CROOK
Argentine Authorities Warn of
 Pseudo FinanCier


 Buenos Aires, April 1.-The Ar. genuine police. at the instance of the United States consulate, are searching for an Argentine using the name of Gustavo David Laeaze who they say, has been trying 10 induce well-to- To residents of the United States to aid him financially.
 The consulate has turned over 10 the police statements asserting that 'LacaZe' write letters to persons in New York. St. Louis, Milwaukee, h. dianapolis and other cities offering them one-third of q fortune of $4S0,- 900, of which ho said $2S0,000 was on deposit in the United States, in re- tudn for aiding him to recover the money and providing for his daugh- ter attending an Argentine college. The balance of the money was in Brazil
 Posed As Banker.
 He is understood to have represent ed himself as banker of Rosario Eerv- ing jail sentence after conviction of fraudulent bankruptcy and to have said that the document by which his fortune could be recovered were in Il secret pocket of handbag in the possession of the court which could be redeemed by the payment of cx- penses of the trial and the fine which had been imposed upon him.
 He asked the recipients to com municate by cable with his agent in BuenoS Aires and, meanwhile to guard his secret. The letters were written in fairly good English.
 Letters About Him.
 Nearly score of letters and cables from the United States inouiring about Lacaze have been received by the consulate, one from a New York CT who had first communicated by cable with "Lacaze's agent" for de- tails and corroboration of Lacaze's story, and he received a reply con- taining what purported to be court documents showing Lacaze's arrest, trial and sentence.
 The New Yorker, apparently con- vinced, thereupon sent the docu- ments on to the consulate requesting Consul General Robertson to do all possible for Lacaze. send his daugh- ter to New York and draw upon him for the expenses.
 The consulate was told by the Ar genuine authorities that no such man as Lacaze is in jail that the court documents are clever torgerios and that this scheme has been used so many times in years past to swindle Argentines, that it was supposed to be quite out of date. The agent has dis appeared from the address given in l Lacaze's letters.
