 of Sir Phillip Gibbs and Three Sol

 the American officials. the stupidity
 and dishonesty and corruption of the
 French officials, the nauseating
 filth and Schrecklichkeit of the prison life give an American pause.

Canadian Pulp
Endangers Jap Mart
nv Associated Press,

Osaka, Japan.-Although the pulp
selling company recently established
by the Japanese manufacturers is try
ing hard to relieve the industry from
its present distress, the market is re-
ported to have become increasingly
depressed under the competition of
Canadian goods, which are unable to
find a market in Europe and are
dumped in this country, says the Osaka
Mainichi.
"Should the goods be allowed to be
imported without limit, they will I'M
doubtedly entirely capture the, Jap
anese market" the Mainichi states.
"The Japanese manufacturers, there
fore, are now trying to persuade the
Togo Shokai, the sole selling agent of
the Canadian pulp, to limit the impor-
tation to 10000 tons per year, and in
addition, they have begun to induce
the government to raise the import
duty on pulp from Rim to Rim A per
pound.
at is not expected however, that the
government will accede to the request,
as the price readjustment problem is
so much to the fore. The distress of
the Japanese pulp manufacturers will
not only be mitigated, but should the
importation of Swedish goods grow
active, the japanese industry may be
given a final blow

Traverse City, Mich. Benzie
county authorities today were review
ing the disappearance more, than two
years ago of Mrs. John Mattice, "a
years old and preparing for an inquest
to be held tomorrow over the skeleton
found yesterday in swamp ywo miles
from her former home at Honor. Plans
to hold the inquest today were altered
to allow further investigation of the
case.
Identification of the skeleton as that
of Mrs. Mattice was made by relatives
after examining the heel of shoe
and a few hairpins of unusual design
found with the remains.
The aged woman disappeared from
her home June 1, 1920, and although
posses searched the woods within a
radius of five miles no trace of her
was found. Her husband was ques-
toned but ultimately was released.
He died about year later.
Although early reports stated marks
on the afull indicated that blow on
the headlmight have caused death, Mrs
John Gates sheriff, declined to express
an opinion in advance of the inquest.
Witnesses at the inquest will include
Mrs. John Newstead, step-daughter of
Mrs. Mattice with whom she resided.

To Study Seagulls ; /.
On Inland Waters

Burlington, Vt.-The migratory hab-
its of seagulls, which year after year
have made the Four Brothers Islands,
in Lake Champlain, their breeding
place, will be studied by party aof
scientists who plan to visit the islands
next summer. Professor Harry F. Per-
kins, Of the University of Vermont,
probably will head the Investigators.
Full and authentic information con-
corning the habits of the birds is lack
ing, and, in an effort to clear up some
disputed points, the scientists propose
to attach small bands to the legs of
the young birds to serve as identified
ton marks during the migrating sea-
son. The task will not be accomplished
without difficulty, as the old gulls are
known to resent strongly any inter-
ference with their offspring, and the
investigators look forward to receiving
some severe buffetings from the out
ragged parents.
The plan is in line with the aims of
the National Banking Association,
whose members make a record of every
bird banded, and send copy for file to
the headquarters of the association at
Washington. Whenever bird with a
band upon its leg is captured by a
member of the association, headquar-
tiers is notified, and in this manner in
formation relative to the movements of
birds is obtained.

still believe youngster is playful

grim persistence of steel wise may
still be firm in his belief that it's best

Appleton, Wis. - While $50 armed
men were rushing to the village of
Shiocton, near here, to block every
automobile avenue to the town, rob-
bers working on the safe in the Bank

an over-zealous citizen Of the village

bers fled from the bank in an auto
mobile few minutes before the poss-
es, coming from three directions,
reached the village. E
The bandits stole an acetylene torch
from q Shiocton machine shop and
used it to burn off the lock and hing
Is of the vault door. One of the hing
es and the lock had been removed when
the shot gun was fired. No attempt
vas made to pursue the bandits.
This was the second attempt to rob
the bank in four weeks and the fourth

PLANS TO LEAVE

LaVallette, N. J. = Henry Stevens,
brother of Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall,
widow of the Rev. Edward W. Hall,
who was murdered with Mrs. Eleanor
R. Mills near New Brunswick on Sep
TENDER ID last, is disconnected at the
delay in the official inquiry and con-
templates bringing matters to an issue
by leaving town, Mrs. Ethel Stevens,
his wife said in an interview here to-
day.
eve think it is about time that we
pull up our belongings and go away
from here just to force an issue with
the authorities who are investigating
the murder" she said.
Stevens has told the Investigators
that he was fishing near LaVallette
on the night of the murder and has
sons who he says saw him. Mrs. Jane
Gibson, farmer, has told the \authori-
tise that man committed the MUIR
ders and that he was accompanied by
woman in grey coat.
Mrs. Stevens received the newspa-
per men in her home with cordiality
and served them with sandwiches. She
explained that her husband was across
the bay at a cunning point but that
he could be reached by system of
signals she had arranged with him.
eve were ready to go on world
tour when this thing happened" said
Mrs. Stevens, "but we gave it up be-
cause we thought-it would be better
for Henry to stay here and face what
ever was in store for him. Now, how
ever, we think the authorities have
had time enough to act and we think
that the best way TO force them to do
something will be for us to leave town
and start our trip.
81 believe the solution of this crime
has not even been limited at yet. Has
any, one thought of looking up other
men who might have figured in Mrs.
Mills life?"

Ask County to Act.
The problem of providing a bond

approximately $500 and since the city
acts as a collector for the county it
will be suggested to the county board
that the city should not be forced
to stand the entire expense for such
a bond.
