Jade Experts Watch for Missing
Treasures to Reappear


A BUFFALO politician, long

Washington at the Mckinley
inaugural ball CARRIED in more
kinds of diamonds than had
ever before been seen in the
District of Columbia at a gov
ernmental function.

Now when it comes to the pos
session and the wearing Of jade,
that is an entirely different matter;
not that there is lack Of it, but
because SO few of us ever get hold
of a piece worth wearing.
Not until the beginning Of the
present century did jade attract at
tention among discriminating buy
ers. Prior to that, comparatively
few, and they Chinese and Indians,
had any conception Of where Jade
would bring up in the jewel market
of the world. The preferred jade
came from northwest China or Chi
nese Turkistan, overland to Pei
ping, where the best jade carvers in
the world turn it into jewelry. From
Yunnan and surrounding provinces,
as well as from Burma, great
deal of jade reaches Canton, the
finest quality coming into Peiping,
regarded as the central trading
point for the green stone in all its
variations. While there are over
ninety tones, tints, shades and fla
whites called mutton jade, the yer
dant stone governs the market.
Jade Passion Spreads.
Following the Boxer upheaval
which suddenly released a grea
deal of beautiful jade formerly the
property Of the Chinese aristocrat:
and noblemen, a passion for jade
spread throughout the world; prin
cipally among people who had The

be warranted.

LYMAN FARBER
UNDER ARREST
SAID TO HAVE POSED AS REP.
RESENTATIVE OF Mi
AMI NEWSPAPER

Hyman Farber, alias Gus Farm
er, Jr:, who has beer posing as a
representative of the Miami Her
aid and making a gentle touch
when opportunity afforded, is
now an inmate of the Monroe
county jail.
He was arrested on a charge of
possible vagrancy and it was said
he would have been tried on that
charge had it not been that specif-
ic adyices were received today
from the office Of the Miami Her
aid asking that Farber, or Farm
er, as the case may be, be held on
a charge of obtaining money un-
der false pretenses.
The prisoner had a card case
with a part of a letter head of the
Herald underneath piece of
transparent material. On the let
terhead was typed his commission
as representative of the paper and
under the transparent covering
looked impressive and convincing.
That his efforts to obtain small
sums of money were productive
was evidenced by the fact that sew
eral persons had given him small
sums, they so reported, and in
his pocketbook three dollars were
found.

TEXANS, TEXANS? %.
THAT'S QUESTION

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 14.-The

the Lone Star state into two
camps over whether they should
be known as Texans or Texans.
The argument was revived re-
Gently after Mayor LaGuardia of
New York sent Governor James
V. Alfred an old playbill describ-
ing a program given Jan. 2, 1886,
in the American theater On the
Bowery for the benefit of the
Texans"
Cove Alfred publicly suggested
residents be referred to as 'Tex-
ians." An Ell Paso attorney,
Richard F. Burgess, took the OPP
posite view ON the ground "Tex-
ans" sounded more distinctive.
Both sides found ready converts,
and debate has reached Homeric

Root Rot Control
Developed In Texas
en-. Associated I.--rsl

TEMPLE, Tex, Dee. 14.--Dr.
C. H. Rogers, plant patholegist at
the Blacklands experimentation
here, has developed a new method
of root rot control dfofV small
plots of shallew-rooted gornamen-
tai plants. 81 .jseH
He digs the sod from around
the plant to a depth Of three feet
and four feet in area and replaces
it with soil known to be free of
root rot. He mixes this with one
part copper sulphate to so parts
earth.
DIR. Rogers says chemicals viii
not penetrate deeply enough TO
kill all root rot infection when
applied at the surface or even at
pillow depth. Thorough mixture of
the chemical with the soil kills the
