WILLING TO GIVE REPORT TO PUBLIC* Interior Department Didn't Want Committee Chairman to See It. N'O BEARING OX PROBE So Declares Member Inve-tigaunp Gore (.barges of Indian Lands Fraud and Bribery. FI.XPTUR. OKU.. Aug. 20.— "There is no secret about the Howell report made to the Committee on In- j dtan Affairs, and while it may never have been generally circulated, the subject matter la well known and prac- i tically all of it appears in the printed hearing of the House Committee on the proposition to reopen the citizen ship rolls." This statement was made bv Chair- man Burke, of the Core Investigating committee, to-day, after the statement from Washington that he was believ ed "to have something up his sleeve" j In the Howell report, was read to him. Burke insisted that Howell’s report had no bearing on the present inves tigation. "Him e!T Epcllt Several Weeks in Ok- lahoma‘investigating the methods, of putting the Indians on the rolls," said Chairman Burke, "and made an ex haustive report on many cases. At first the Interior Department was reluctant to give me a copy of the report, but when I got it I let lawyers and every- j body else who wanted to see it. "The report is now in my office at Washington, and 1 would not hesitate to let anybody have it were I there.” Further Proof Given. WASHINGTON, D. C-. Aug. 20.— Further proof of the intimate knowl edge possessed by J. W. Howell, the Ulterior Department expert on Indian allotments, of the activity of J. W. MeMurray. the attorney involved in the Gore charges. It is said here to day, was given by the testimony of MeMurray before the investigating committee yesterday --j—-j The facts given by MeMurray, It U stated, were ail known to Howell and were all substantially included In hie unpublished report that MeMurray** testimony, which appeared to the pub lic as a revelation, probably was al ready known to Chairman Burke. Howell told In his testimony before the House committee on Indian affairs, at an "executive" session last winter, the details of the JT6Q,000 fee allowed Mansfield. MeMurray and Cornish In the citizenship cases, and also de tailed other contracts that this firm1 held, particularly those with the Choc taw anti Chickasaw nations. Another fact set out by Howell, which came to light here to-day, wai that he obtained affidavits from In diana showing the ••paternal” attitude of Mansfield. McMurrny and Cornish towards the Indians. One of these, the affidavit of an Indian lad, Giles Thomp son, tells of bis going to the office of the attorneys to aak about his right to be enrolled, when this firm was then drawing a salary to keep as many In dians as possible off the rolls. The Indian said ho was forced to go to them because they held the only re cords In his case. The Thompson affi davit was sppke.n. of by- Howell In his testimony as "somewhat sensational." i THIS NEGRO CARRIED HIS OWN DISTILLERY UA.WILLS!, Aug. 20.—"Will" Brooks, a negro suspected of being a I fugitive from North Carolina, was ar rested here. In his trunk was found a glass distillery with various cheml oal compounds, together with a book of instructions, telling how to make Imitation whiskey quick and cheap A {gallon of fluid marked alcohol was also seised The outfit was put up by k Milwau kee concern and letters found In the trunk Indicate that theoegro had been doing a thriving business with his min iature liquor plant. MR. SWT OPENS FIGHT IN NINTH Makes First Speech at Gate City, and is Cheered by Great Crowd HOLDS SLUMP UP AS SUPPORTER OF CANNON Will Conduct Campaign on Higii Plan, Hat ft Republicans In sist Upon Aludslinging They Will Receive Attention. (Special to The Richmond Virginian.) GATE CITY. V A.. Aug. 20.—Th» unterrified Democracy of Scott and adjoining- counts** gave Henry C. Stuart a'memorable reception here to day on the oci aslon of the first speech of his campaign. He was morally lion ized by the hosts of Democracy, who have sworn to redeem the Ninth dis trict, and who have the assistance of a formidable Republican Insurgency from one end of the district to th* other. Mr. Stuart spoke to an Immense audience iu the court house at noon. J. F. Wjrsor, the Democratic war hors* from Pulaski, made the opening speech of a half hour, and was cheered to the echo. When Mr. Stuart started to speak it wa« some time before he could be heard above thunderous ap plause of the crowds. Arraigns the Republicans. Mr. Stuart’s speech was a terrilio arraignment of the Republican party and Cannonism. He scored Congress man Slemp, his Ilepubllc&n opponent, for his support of Cor.soB when fen showed that the untrammeled Repub lican leaders are repudiating. A cam paign can be conducted on higher plane than either of the parties de sire to place it, said Mr. Stuart. "For my part," he declared, "I propose to conduct a campaign on a high plane, but If we are forced to It we will meet the mu dstinging now being injected Into this contest. I think they have all been amply met and am willing to rest them.” Mr. Stuart, made no direct referenda to the trunk Issue which the Slemp cohorts have sprung, growing out of the customs house incident. The opinion prevails here that Mr. Stuart will sweep the Ninth district in November. Many prominent Repub lican* are openly Insurgent, while the Democrats are solid for Stuart and determined.

He also advocated the es tablishment of a navy yard at Mem phis. Tennessee, which was done *t>y eongrese. Under his directions were made, at that point, by Lieutenant Marr, the first series of observations upon the flow of the Mississippi. He proposed a system of observa tions which would enable the ob servers to give information, by tele graph. concerning the state of the river knd Its tributaries. He advocat ed the enlargement of the Illinois and Michigan canal, that vessels of war might pass between the gulf and lakes. He suggested to congress efficacious plans for the disposition of the drowned government lands along the Mississippi. In the Interest of com merce. he brought forward and suc cessfully advocated the "ware-housing system." In IK 42 he was appointed superin tendent of the depot of charts and in struments at Washington. Up to this time the field In which Maury labored was limited to his own country. Placed la a position which offered the means necessary to full employ ment of his powers, he speedily de veloped the plans which he had previously cherished and earnestly ad inratg/f Th* limnla f.-tw /.haa und instruments was transformed Into itn observatory. Surrounded by such men as Walker, Ferguaeon, Hubbard, Coffin. Keith and other faithful work era whom he inspired with his own enthusiasm, he made the naval ob servatory national in Its importance and relations to the astronomical world. This accomplished, he added to those labors of the astronomers, ’rultful of results for future years, the ask of unraveling the winds and cur -enta of the ocean, and collected from he logbooks of ships of war, long itored in the government offices, and him all other accessible sources,, the material suited to hts purp >ee.

In these labors he was inactively assisted by Colonel John M. Brooke, then on duty In the naval ob tervatory, and whose deep sea eound ng apparatus first brought up speci mens, whilst it fathomed the depths >f the ocean. The Investigations, of which they sere the first fruits, presented ma :ertals for work to make clear to andsmen as well as mariners the vonderful mechanism of the sea, with ts currents and It# atmosphere. “The Physical Geography of the Sea.'* uhlch has been translated Into many anguages, is an enduring monument :t> the genius and usefuless of its iuthor.

Of the Household THE BOY PUZZLE IT J KIRTLKY. SEEING THINGS BY DAY. "Seeing things at night" Is tame H Compared with the way a boy sens things with his eyes wide open, things that are not so, st that. »om the time j he Is four or five years old that power j to see the unseen, to make Images of -'invisible things. Is perfectly riotous. Two facts about him seem to contra dict each other. One It that his acute j senses make very sccumte observa- tlons of real things, the other that his active Imagination knows no bounds. It is not hard work, either; It does Itself. In that case we call It passive imagination. There is something in him like wings and they Insist on fly- tag. He does not yet care where they take him. So they flit from point to point, aa they will, without restraint or direction from reason or will After awhile he will be abie to hold that Sight on an object as long as he wishes and his Imagination will enter on a new phase. At first the things he remembers attract him most. and. for that reason, some have called It mere memory: yet It Is something 7 'Rtore. But when he begins to take charge of It. we say It Is active 1m agination And perhapa here le where we can appreciate Binet's remark that It ie "the faculty of creating roupe of Image* which do not correspond to any external reality." This ‘day dream ing Is not wrong either. He has to do it. whether right or wrong, though he —.may do It in a right or a wrong w ay. in that first stage be is always turn ing something Into something else more to his- liking, as when little Billie, standing by ^h# post, began to turn an unseen faucet and catch unseen soda water In his real cup. making the fls* with his lips, and to call out: "Como on, boys; it's my treat,” and every boy saw what Billie saw and' drank his soda water, till they came to Joe, who showed that he was a freak, by soearllng out: ‘New; you ain't got no soda water; yo know you ain't." He changes toys into soldiers and has i them fight each other, makes his sis ters fairies and another iitUe girl a queen. He says, "I am a coachman." and he Is one. One minute he is Theo dore Roosevelt at the head of his Rough Riders, and the next minute the tame dlElhinff IdliflnP rhnriritio> iha koen/v pciUmi in Africa. The transformation -‘•f dogs Into beam and cata Into tiger* I is no trick at all. We can easily tnlsunderstand him. We must not fall to recall the story, told so often, of that small boy, whose Teports of what w* saw distressed his good mother till she Anally forbade i any more such talk on penalty. But It was not long till he came running In j with: "O, mamma. X saw a great big Black bear out In the orchard." His j sister was called and said It was only a little black dog. His mother took I him to her room and said: "Now, i Ned. go In there, shut the door, kneel l down and tell God what you have I done and ask him to forgive you.” In j a few minutes he came out with a Bright face, "And did you tell God and aek him to forgive you?” she ask- r *d. "yes, mamma." he answered, “and j foe said the first time he saw that dog Be thought It was a bear, too." After he Is seven or eight he sees things more In groups and connec tlons; and still later. In his teens, his reason and purpose take charge of the V —rial thing. Sometimes they succeed in killing it, and, In that case, he Is dead, from that time on. The reason r the Wrights and Curtiss and Hamll- j ton and the other flyers can navigate! the air Is that they have been doing It, in Imaguination. for a long time. So j it Is the magical power that begins,: Whgn he is very young, and stays with him'till he dies, or till his heart dies, i It la his Aladdin's lamp whose rays dis close all he wishes and changes j ■tones Into crystals; "Fortunatus' purse that holds the treasures of the universe,” It Is the mother of his mirth, the spring of his smiles. It Is closely and casually related to a sav ing sense of humor. That is why a boy In Kansas P City rose from his seat In a crowded atreet car when a fat woman entered P and said; "Gentlemen, I will be one of three to get up and give this lady a Mat’' Even his unconscious humor I dows from this source, as when the y teach weald: "Tummy, who do you tfolnk I scold too asuchT’ "’Cause you git kinder fretful teaching school, 1 ■•pose," was his hq^est reply. That la one reason why he enjoys the present so much and anticipates the future so eagerly—he sees so much in them. And. It may bo added, that Is the reason he can eftdure the pres ent. when older people treat him so unjustly on the ground that he Is only a boy, and It makes no difference how Be Is treated. In one reapect, he Is like muses, who endured because he aaw the invisible There is no other way to explain Bow he can do so much—he set s it be forehand. Mr. Ferris was told that By the laws of mechanics no such wheel was possible, but, after long atudy, he suddenly saw that wheel, with his mind’s eye. an he sat in a res taurant In Chicago; and thsn building it was the easiest part of It all. Von Sioltke was In bed when the word came that France had declared war. and he quietly told the messenger to look In a certain pigeon-hole for sev- I «rml telegrams and said, "Send them.” Then he went to bed. He had fore- a»*n it all and had every plan made. _ Imagination gives wings to his hope, PICTURE PUZZLE blouae of blackamtth, reversing picture, lad an Indian native. feet to hts rouon, force to hie decis lon* and vividness to hte memory. It furnishes him invincible armor end vlctorloue arms for hie battle agslnet the false and vicious and vulgar; for he can picture to himself the ideal, true and virtuous and good and then make them real. It enables him to se cure control of himself at the time when he is becoming acquainted with his own volatile and mysterious pow; ere: for he can be made to see the vast benefits to come from such self control. A hoy has that profound something in him which we call subconslouenese, and imiglnatton is the means of bring ing in suggestions from the outside and taking them out again Into the life. After awhile It does better than that—It enables him to make sugges tions to himself, and we call that auto suggestion. Personal care of the body gets aid from the imagination, ns the latter helps him fashion an ideal for his true self, which always works towards health and symmetry and artistic ex cellence. A good imagination Is good hygiene. Kiperience and Imagination Join In teaching him to anticipate the results of a given action so vividly as to restrain from the wrong and con strain to the right Oluskap, hero of the Micmacs, asked the animals, Just before the appearance of man: "What would you do If you met a man?" The boy looks ahead Me will need it In his business. If he Is a bootblack or a merchant or a Inwyer or a well, anything. But peril must be faced If his Imagination Is not disciplined and if he is very fond of success, he will become a liar of the worst kind. He will need assistant with the splendid thing. Home one must help him use it for hts true pleasure and his profit; attach It to his reason, and, most of all. to his conscience; emplay it in practical life; make it service able to his fellow-men. GARDENER MUST GUARD SEEDLINGS FROM SUN'S RATS Only With Great Care Can c\v Crop of Perennials Be fc»a>t d. For the next four weeks the sun will be the greatest enemy to be com bated if a new crop of perennials Is to be saved. Vet this ts the season when seeds of many kinds should be put In that they may make a growth before frost. The object of this is that, if they are sufficiently protected not to b« winter killed, perennials will bloom next year, thereby saving a season. The most inexperienced gardener haji only to consult catalogues now to know what she may sow to make her place bloom next summer, but it takes a little experience to know how best to protect the seeds so that they will develop properly. Th'ey require moisture to germinate and protection from tun. These two requisites are piet with by covering the grounds or seed beds with boards The seed Is lightly sown and the soil firmed down by patting with the hands. It Is a mistake to do this so gently that the seeds are not sur rounded by soli, for then they have no opportunity of growing. Neither are they to be dug In too deep, or the soil made so hard that delicate tendrils cannot break through. A general rule for planting Is to put seeds double their depth, and to pat the soil firmly, but not hard. Ah soon as this Is done the ground is to be wet with the rose sprinkler or a water ing pot, and then boards are put down over. Germination may take anywhere from one week to ten days, or two or even three weeks. During that time the soil is to be kept damp, but not wet, and this Is not difficult If a very fine spray la used. Jt will probably not be necessary to wet the soli every day, hut the boards may be raised at any time to see what is the condition, and as soon as spraying Is done the boards are returned This Is repeated offtll the first leaves break through the surface. After that boards would be fatal. Nevertheless, the seedlings need shade, though they must have light. Ordinary cheese doth gives the l>eat results, stretching It over on four pegs and keeping it five or six Inches above the leaves. If the corners are tightly fastened to the pegs, there will be no danger of the cloth sagging, and suf ficient sunlight wll. be dtfTused through. This is to be kept over until the little plants begin to be strong, although young, or until the fierceness >f the sun has been abated by au tumn. Mint Revise Addresses.

I The Immerse quantity of false hair required for producing an up-to-date coiffure leaves no room for any add!- tional adornment, so that the puffs, curls, braids and knots may be deslg- l rated as the garnitures instead of the ribbons. Combs, pins, etc., lhat are usually considered the legitimate hair ornamentation. The oniy accessory that Is at all pronounced 1s the ha- rette. and the variety of these Is le- gion. There are tiny shall cu.u has from one no larger than a breast-pin that Is used to secure the few short hstrs In the nape of the neck to an Immense affair, both In regard to length and width, supporting a perfect structure of hald that must surely topple over I without some aid of this kind. Then 1 there are all kinda and sizes between j the two extremes. Heavy pins of a decorative nature are used to hold the henry braids down to the head, but these are prac tical, too. and In place of tho Jewelled combs, fancy halrpalns and other or- j naments so popular a season nr two ago. a puff will be added, or, perhaps, tiny curls mounted on a' hairpin. Of course, there are styles in bu rettes and hairpins that are newer than others, and one established law In regard to choice is that the shade of the shell barette shall match the hair as nearly as possible. There are dozens of different tones, as Iron gray, blue gray, purr gray, white and all the between shades. Even hair streaked witn gra\ is not excepted, for pretty combinations of gray tones are seen In barettos of gray shell mounted in dull silver, bright silver, stell and the darker tones of gun metal.

Some women have the Idea that the I summer season Is peculiarly adapted to the practice of economy. 1 have I observed that those who nave com I mltted themselves to this theory are i visually the very ones who do not practice It. There are a good many forms of feminine extravagance but whenever It Is mentioned one phase only seems to be uppermost in the mind—the extravagance Is often productive of great evil, no doubt, but I believe that It Is less pernicious In its effect on the sex and on the community In general than certain other forms concerning i which much less Is said and wrlt ten. It Is not difficult to understand why the summer season brings about an Increase of what Is popularly known i as extravagance—In dress, in extra provision for comfort and In. extra I provision against discomfort. It Is not so easy to find the actual reason why other kinds of extravagance— In manner. In speech. In personal con duct, perhaps—seem to expand at i the approach of warm weather. One cause. 1 suppose, may be found In 1 the Increased opportunity afforded by the summer outing. Women leading the ordinary, all the-year-round home life have suffi cient to occupy their minds without resorting to these extravuganees. It Is only when they are on the summer outing that they develop an Increased capacity for such things. Nine times out of ten It Is the direct result ol the Idleness which they vainly mis take firr rest. The temptation to make use of ex travagant speech is peculiarly strong at the summer resorts. Life at these places is so essentially artificial that even the speech becomes Infected j after a certain period of exposure. It 1 Is said that it is practically lmpos i slble for an American to live a year In London without adopting certain insular expressions and vocal inflec tions peculiar to that metropolis. It is equally true that few women, after spending a summer at a seaside or mountain resort, fail to show tt tn their speech. Now this may be due to the fact that the Imitative faculty is so well developed in women. If everything spoken in these places were worthy of imitation there would be no oc casion for remark. I'nfortunately. i however, the conversation heard on the veranda or in the ball room of a summer hotel Is but a pitiful relies of the artificiality that is general. As a rule those who have the gift of profitable speech summer elsewhere, and the standard of conversation at such places halts midway' between banality and suggestion, if there is any less desirable sum- mer school for a young woman of cor- j rect tendencies than one of these aem- inaries of extravagant speech 1 do not know where to find it. I care not how well grounded In womanly Integrity I she may be. there always remains the danger of contact with something that j cannot fall to contaminate if tt be permitted to touch Kxtravagance in thought Is another j temptation of the rummer seaaon. It may be regarded as the natural #e j quenee of extravagance of speech, and Is likely to arise from the same cause—mental Idleness that has 1 usurped the place of legitimate and wholesome rest. It Is one of the most dangerous extravagances In which a woman can Indulge, and It should be combated vigorously. Qlven rein.

The temptation to be extravagant In manner is. perhaps, most seductive of all. What has keen said about Imi tation applies also to this temptation. As long as the Influence is for good, there is no fault to be found. The danger comes when a selection of an unworthy model Is made. Of course, much of this extrava gance comes from the Intensity ot youth. That of Itself is an extrava gance which must be met with cau tion. and the most unfailing tact. There are certain youthful tempera ments so Intense that they seem to have room for but one Idea at a time —all their energy Is concentrated on a single thing, and they give them selves up to it with an extravagance of thought and speech and manner that would be ludicrous In a grown up. Fortunately for them and for their future. It Is their Inconstancy that saves them from eccentricity. if I were asked what. In my opinion. Is the premier summer temptation, the temptation most to be feared and avoided and courageously withstood by the woman whose conscience Is ever on the alert, 1 should answer "the temptation to be extravagant—not In luxuries, not in personal adornment, not in anything material, but In her rule of life" And that, of course, applies to men as well as women.

Bl CHARLES P. STEWART. (Suit Correspondent of the United Press.> CERBERE, FRANCE, Aug 20.—Juet j how quickly the pending Church-end- I State situation In Spain Is going to develop real fighting Is pretty hard to guess. Hostilities may begin almost any day, or they may be warded oft for a good many months.

So j that if the Spanish ant I-clerical# are Injuring their atanding as Roman pen to the lay community.

Premier Maura was forced out of of fice and Premier Moret tried to con tinue the aame old eye tern. Ne, too, failed and waa succeeded by Premier Canalejas.

Thsy cannot back out because they believe they would precipitate a revolution by do ing so. They cannot delay too long or the anti-clericals will become suspicious of them and the ever-lm mlnent revolution will etart. There in that much reason for thinking that the cUmax will come soon. Mil, It la certain that the King and Premier win move ea elowly as they dare. The church does not want to fight at all If It can avoid It. It knows that fighting wtll Involve it In heavy risks It hopes against hope that the State will yield. If the State should show a disposition to do so. tht church weutd do anything In Ite pow sr to make surrender easy—-to save the State's fsce. wm right. But when It actually comes to the point of making up Its mind whether to light or to surrender any part of Us power and privilege the churdh will fight. It la already preparing to tight, its wealth.

But they will do it the moment they be come positively convinced they have lost him Carliat agents are already busy in the country In anticipation of thsir chief. Jaime has stated that he will abt Interfere In Spain unless It becomes necessary for him to main tain or restore order. The clerical# will see. In due season, that he is furnished with the excuse he say* he wants. In Doubt How a tight between Alfonso and Jaime would result—admitting the latter to be supported by the clerical* —nobody knows. It rather look* a* If Alfonso would win but the fieri cals are tremendously strong. Assuming that Jaime and the Cleri cals lose ft is still no foregone con clusion that Alfonso. Individually, will win. The Vatiean believes the pre sent agitation in 9patn and Portugal Is not only enttolerlcal but antl-mon srchical and that th« agitators pro pose a union of two countries under a President. Whether this Is true or not. there is no doubt that the Span ish radicals question the possibility of permanently satisfactory conditions under a monarchy. Alfonso happens, for the moment, to he on side but they distrust him and would arsuredlj take advantage of any good opportunity they might see to throw him over board In the confusion of a civil war Alfonso's change from the clericals to the anti-clericals has changed the iltnation somewhat since last sum mer. The Issue w*g clear cat then between Alfonso and the clericals and one side and the anti-clericals and republicans upon the other Alfonso has allied himself now with the group which apparently ought to win In the sml. But whether victory for his group will make for greater secur ity of his own tenure Is mc-ra doubt ful. Alfonso Is In a dangerous |>lace.

Fearless newspapers do m*t hesitate, not only to criticise even the King himself, but even to report the details of scandals in which Royalty may have permitted itself to become involved. The action of the court in this instance is based upon another principle, which is the constitutional right of the Accused to a fair and unprejudiced trial. The courts, in other words, have rights equally with the press, and the prisoner at the bar rights equal with either. When the press in the oxer Oise of its power of opinion undertakes to im pingo upon the right of the prisoner to have his cause beard bv unbiased minds, the court takes affront at the injustice done to one under its care and protection. And this is quite a different matter from the attempt frequently made by courts more sensitive than profound to punish as for contempt criticism of their own judicial «ets. In the latter ease the courts, after all, are no more than public servants, equally with other persons invested with official position; in the ease of a prisoner they are the protectors of his right to the assumption of innocence with which the law surrounds him. As American police methods suffered by com parison with the care exercised lest Crippen be lee to incriminate himself, so in this instance is re flection cast, upon American newspaper methods English justice is noted for its speed, its certain itr, and its fairness. The "Fredum of the Press' could not hope to be better, and should not irv to be. Yet it needs only that a man fall undei grave suspicion for American papers to at onee any real reform of the tariff; if a halt is ever to be called in the pro gram of centralization; if there is ever to come a time when the aim of parties is to again be to legislate within the law and in conformity with the constitution, instead of to legislate despite the constitution and to act in defiance of the law. it is tho Democracy which must be charged with bringing these reforms to pass. The Insur gents. so far as these vital needs are concerned, differ as greatly from the Democrats ns the Stand-patters otherwise differ from them. A CHICAGO VIEW OF THE SOUTH. “Judicious Advertising”, published at Chicago, lives up its name. Its purpose, we take it, is to direct the attention of the Northern and West ern manufacturer and capitalist to tho fields most fertile of profit. At least, in tho July issue which we have at hand, that is the effect from I which the purpose is easily deduced. In a fore i word by the editor, entitled “Awaken to a New South”, wo find in black letters a number of 'paragraphs of which characteristic samples are: “You northern manufacturers, you advertisers—do you realize the mag nificent field 1 hat. the South of to-day presents “.The industrial regeneration of the Smith I* nr-iA-s to the world. It is a bit? thing after years of adversity. '‘You advertisers whose mental grasp of Southern Business conditions is still hitched to a business picture two de cades old—you have not kept the pace the South has set in its marvelous re generation. “A few Northern manufacturers al ready have blazed a business trail through the new South—their cam paigns have won and these business scouts Itccken the rest of you into a new, virgin field. “Yoti advertisers, always ambitious to expand, have a now a great new country into which to expand your forces-amid 28,000,000 people. The true principle of Southern hospitality breeds admiration for meritable art icles—that’s why Southern campaigns win under proper coaching." Following which, the magizine devotes a. num ber of pages to a comprehensive and detailec write-up of Southern conditions in represent# tive communities, in which facts are minglec with appreciative study in au almost bewildering story of success and progress. What is said o: Richmond is at once so concise and inclusive tbu we make room for it in greater part: “The purchasing power of Richmond is very large because so many Rich mond’s citizens are turning their time into money. How popular this occupa tion is may he gathered from the fact that Richmond has 1,753 manufactur ing plant#, employing 31,388 hands, and selling annually eighty-five and a half million dollars’ worth of products. It has one of the largest, purchasing powers of cities of its size in the South. Mete dollar swapping is no test of the real vital strength of a community, ana vur, nicnmona s uank clearings ior 1901) were $3(11,000,000, an increase of 21 per cent over 1908. These clear ings represent business done in Rich mond alone and are not the aggregate of the clearings of smaller outlying cities. The 31,388 hands who were employed in Richmond in 1909 piled up the bank deposits in that, town by over $3,000, 000. The bank deposits for 1909 reach ed a total of $38,243,000. ‘‘Now these figures are best under stood when we compare them with the figures of ten years ago. In the last ten years the number of manufactur ing plants in Richmond has increased 41 per cent. The number of hands employed, 48 per cent. The amount of capital employed, 97 per cent, and the annual sales have increased $44, 000,000, or 106 per cent. Bank clear ings have increased nearly $200,000, 000, which is 207 per cent. Fost-offiee receipts have increased nearly $400, 000, the figures for 1009 being $831, 205, which means the post-office has grown 159 per cent. “Best of all, Richmond is not a one industry town. Tt has the largest wood working establishment in the world, the only locomotive works in the South. In tobacco Richmond employs 8,118 hands. Many of these are women and girls in the cigarette departments, who earn large wages. In all walks of life and for all classes of labor Richmond offers a steady employment at satis factory wages. And the prosperity of the city has developed In' and along with the prosperity of its citizens of all sorts.” Applying these facts, the writer finds in Rich mond a “distinct character”, in which ‘kind liness and liberality” are marked. He finds it a place in which homes are easily established, because “it is above all else a city of homes and homo lovers. The tenement and the slum are unknown in Richmond. Class antipathies do not, exist. And the strength and success of the city in a large measure depend upon the eo-op eration that exists between all classes, a co-op eration which has developed the manufacturers and the trade of this community and which pre sages an even greater and more desirable growth for the future.” These be, it is true, kind words. 1 he best, of it. is that they hold nothing of exaggeration. They %re the professional report of a business man who has explored the South for the purpose of interesting Northern and Western people and capital in this section. Hence, they are mani festly accurate without prejudice for or against They stand as the revelation of a condition. Ihe things that the forthcoming census will abundant ly point to the student of commercial economies have been here anticipated in a practical vein for j the practical benefit of business men. Without- a doubt, “Judicious Advertising known* it* business and live? up to its name. ART AND PRACTICE, j Colonel Roosevelt continue? to 6how that he is in a very real sense possessed of the artistic temperament. A sure enough artist recently de j dared that “Art is a lie”, meaning thereby that lit was a thing apart, from ihe individual by i whose eye, brain or hand it found expression. Jn saying that the Colonel continues to prove himself an artist, we have no intention of sug gesting that he ought to be forced into involuntary association with the membership of his own Ananias Club. On the contrary, we grant him the virtue of that same peculiar sort of subcon scious veracity which forces an utterly unscrup ulons artist occasionally to declare himself in j visions of perfect truth. The Colonel yields the 1 palm to no man in knowledge of -what it is right for other men to do. If he himself goes wrong, i bis eternal verities remain. He has simply, for i the nonce, decended from his art to the ground of human weakness. For that reason is he, then, any less tho God Speaking from the same platform with Book er T. Washington at a meeting of the Negro Business Men's League the Colonel conceded that the ‘“white man of the South is the vital man to have sympathy with the negro. When your neighbor likes and respects you, you have won your battle. The white man of the North’’, he admitted, “does his worst work in interfering j between the t wo peoples of tho South, and his best work when he improves their relations”. Again: j “every down-at-tbe-heel. ramshackle negro cabin is not only bad for the people who live in it. but I is a reflection on the race”. The Colonel told his auditors that he believed in the league: “As II wrote live years ago, when 1 was President, I i believe in it because it is out of politics”. Let us admit at once the obvious truth of these propositions—and then let us remember that the immediate result of them upon the convention was that a negro Bishop arose to pledge the un 1 divided support, of the race for any political pro I motion which the speaker might desire of the people. And in the light of these words of wis jdom. if is perhaps not amiss to recall that, "when II was President”, “1” also did my apparent ut termost to combat just this particular doctrine 'of business regeneration and respectable labor outside of politics that then, as now, solemn ly counselled. Indeed, it would be sad were it possible to say to what extent negroes were kept in idleness, how many of them waited like political Micawbers for the lightning of office to strike from Washington to illuminate their ease. It is perhaps too much to expect that the ne groes generally will be able to achieve the difficult c_i _—_l_ the name time disapproving of what he does. It is easy to say, “Do as I tell you to do, not os l do’’, but it. is hard to separate doctrine from ex ample. That the Negro Business Men’s League remembered better than they listened is shown I by the instant political appreciation with which [they rewarded a purely non-political talk for racial uplift.

MAYOR’S SUICIDE NOT PROVED. At the time it was announced that the detec tive theory was that Mayor Bousman's death i was caused by his attempt to oommit suicide while giving his death the appearance of assas sination, The Tirgmx-an expressed its doubt of a solution which involved the simple device of charging the crime to the victim. This is a not unnsual resource of baffled detectives. In this instance, however, the cruel charge seems to have 'been given almost universal credence. We are therefore glad to see in the Roanoke Times a communication from the acting Mayor of Ridge way, in which he states that the reports as to the conclusions of the detective have been exaggerat ed, and that his conclusions have not been of ficially or otherwise accepted in Mayor Bous inan’s home. He says, indeed, that the report of detective Funk was not laid before the council of tho town of Ridgeway until August 15 and was not then officially accepted as being correct. “In fact”, says Mayor Griggs of the report, “it did not contain any conclusion of the detective at all, but simply gave a list of circumstances that tended to the theory that Mayor Bousman might have been the author of his own destruc tion, but admitted that there were missing links in tha chain of circumstances that fall short of proving this theory as conclusive, and in fact tome members of the town council” and a Targe auml>er of our citizens do not believe this theory »t. all. And there are a great many circum stances that strongly refute it and I will thank roti to give space in The Times to this letter, that his erroneous idea may be corrected." When a man is seen lying peacefully upon the rrass in his front yard, and is next seen, after a erritic explosion, lying maimed unto death with wth legs blown away, it ought to require some hing more than a plausible chain of deductions to found against him the charge, much less the rind ing of suicide. Detectives arc al ltoo ready, when hev do not. succeed in putting hand on the crim inal, to declare that there has been no crime, or that it has been committed by a man whose lips have been stopped by death. The Richmond boy who is trying to stage a play with local color would do well to secure a j copy of Dugger’s “Balsam Groves of Grand- father Mountain”. By applying such ruses as this famous author employs to Richmond ho- j tels and enterprises, the means for production would he legitimately forthcoming in advertising j returns. “The masticating department of the Yarborough House”, for instance. The King and Queen of Italy afford a striking contrast to the. King of Spain and his consort. In Italy, disaster finds the rulers on the spot ready to face the common danger; in Spain the threat of trouble empties the palace across the j border. Perhaps that, is one rcasop why the threat of trouble is so much more frequent in Spain than Italy.

Don’t beat the devil around the »turns.—Charifuud Children. No Mistake After All By GERALD PRIME. (Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press.) Three months after she had promised to marry Dick Hathaway, Molly Abernathy was convinced that dy. that h- who recognition immediately as an A •\'o 1 fellow among the men and—the women. Ignoring his plainness of face and awkwardness of figure and movement, the Eureka young women of all ages hud become greatly interested In the sayings and, even more especially, In the doings of H Earllng'on Hopper. And that, of course. Included Molly Abernathy, who for some reason unrevealed to her was led by this Interest to doubt the co-opera tion of heaven in hfr choice of Dick as a life com panston. By a most amazing coincidence there was also a “but” In the rase of Dick Hathway. A certain vyvung woman named Helen \Vart> had come to town to visit her uncle, the rector of Ft. Jarlaths. Before she had been at the rertorv a fortnight all th young men In the parish. and a hoat of those "ho were outside of It, woke up to the fact that she was an unusually attractive young person, and Dick was one of the young men of the parish. He did not precisely understand how ft was. but when ever he stood in the presence of Helen Ware he found himself wishing—well—he found himself wishing. Both Dick and Molly were members of the mixed choir at 8t. Jarlath's. Iiick sang tenor when he did not forget and reiapae into baritone, and Molly was possessed of an excellent contralto voice, but she was an indifferent reader. That was why it was necessary for H. Earlington Hopper, who had been made choirmaster on account of ht» musical ability, to coach Molly privately whenever *n alto solo »t» to he sung Hopper believed that he had discovered great possibilities in Molly's voice, and after a whila aJto solos were frequent at St. Jarlath’s. About that Um* the organnat succumbed to tbs Infirmltes of old age, and Miss Ware consented to substitute temporarily. Hhe did not profess to be mistress of the noble instrument, but she agreed that if some one wot-id come to her assistance—sit beside her on thabenoh at rehearsals, puli stops and turn music—she would do her very best. Every man in the choir volunteered in the same breath It actually frightened Molly. Abernathy to discover how Uttia it diaturbed her to have Dick named as the preferred one. For more than two years Dick had walked home with Molly after choir practice, but the time cam# when neither of them felt aggrieved over the willing ness of the other to abandon the habit. The inter ruption came about so n&turaliv. Miss Ware was re sponsible for the deed. One evening after an un usual tug at a refractory anthem, which persisted In going wrong after every effort had been made to Induce it to do otherwise, the organist requested the tenor to rsmatn for a few minutes after rehearsal In order to perfect himself In his part. Instead of waiting until Dick should prove himself either the victor or vanquished, Molly was possessed of a sudden whim to start off alone, only to be In tercepted at the door of the parish house by the i holt-master, who had returned in search of a paper he had mislaid. “If you will give me one minute. Miss Abernathy,’* he said. "X will walk home with you—provided, of course, you will permit me." Without pausing to receive her consent, he disap peared Into the building, reappearing in rather lees than the specified time with the recovered paper "X notified Hathaway of my intention,'1 he laughed as they moved off. _ _ _ "TT "WaWf aT~ aTT necessary." she declared em phatically. “He didn't hear me. X couldn't attract his atten tion.'' Was he singing?’’9he knew he wasn't but she wanted to hear the answer. “He hadn't begun. He was seated on the bench, his back toward me, and Miss Ware was talking earn estly—giving instruction, probably.” "Probably,” she said, with an air of indifference that seemed genuine to him, lawyer though he was. After Dick had sung over the baffling two measures or so at least a dozen times and had at last attained perfection Miss Ware dlemlssed him with a parting Injunction not to forget that he was a tenor. "And 1 hope I haven’t offended Miss Abernathy by depriving her of your company—-or you, either,” the added, without looking at him. "So need to worry on my account," Dick assured her. "As for Miss Abernathy— "I suppose Mr. Hopper availed himself of the op portunity to seat her home safely. Ha seems to b# greatly taken with—with her voice,” she said. They were at the door of the pariah room that opened Into the rectory. The sexton, who was wait ing to put out the lights, stood grumbling audibly. "Wouldn't it be Jolly if those two—" Dick began anti than “No—It wouldn't!” she returned so promptly and no decidedly that he wondered at It. Before he could a.«k her why not she had bidden him a haaty good night and passed within. Next evening when Dick put in hie customary' ap pearance at the Abernathy house he waa told by tha maid who admitted him that Molly had gone over to the rectory. He waa both ashamed and relieved— humiliated by his treachery toward the girl who had promised him what he asked and relieved to And that the dreaded confeeeion might atilt bo poatponed. It so happened that Dick waa spared the pain of that confession. An affatr that came to a culmina tion on the very next night—an epleode that stirred the social fabric of Eureka to its foundation—brought Dick and Molly together again, this time secure in the belief that their only mistake had been to doubt, oven for a single moment, the gentleneae of their at tachment. This Anal state of affairs waa made poaelble by the elopement and marriage of H. Earllngton Hopper and Helen Ware. They had been lovers long before coming to Eureka, but the young woman's friends had not taken kindly to the man of her choice. She. however, knew of her own mind and was convinced that she was making no mistake. Farmer Not Use Villain. The man who started the hue and cry against thg farmers, charging them with being responsible for the high cost of living, must have had either a most vivid and lurid imagination, or like the thief who cried “stop thief” to divert attention from himself, were seeking to turn the public mind from themselves. One has but to scan the local market quotations. In any community, and then compare these with the prices he pays for the same commodities, to be Impressed with the ridiculousness of the charge. In Fredericks burg at this time the farmers are being offered cer tain prices for their butter, eggs, beef on the hoof, etc.; they must take these prtoes or carry their pro duce home, as they cannot or do not fix prices them selves. On the other hand, tha consumer. If he buys from the midteman, must pay anywhere from >6 per cent, to *00 per cent, advance for jany or all of these necessities, even In Fredericksburg, where conditions are far better than In most places. We do not know that even at these prices the middlemen are mailing Inordinate proAts, as It costs them so much to handle merchandise, but we want to point out tha fact that the farmers are not responsibly for tha high price# .which tu, AMtft

o. RICHMOND, V A., S A T URDAY, A U G U S T, 20, 1910. in mmm Real Estate Agents Report One of Best Weeks of Year. 11 ANY BUYERS COME FROM THE FAR WEST .Vacation Period Causes Dullness in City Sales, But Demand for Property to Rent is Enormous. Although there hate been com paratively fen- aalea of city property during the past week, the spirits of the various real estate dealers are kept more than buoyant by the stead ily Increasing number of customers ueslring to rent. Tnis applies, of course, only 10 inose uealers who con iine tneir operations annum exclusive ly to property within the municipal limns. .Dealers /.i inrm lands are jubilant. In practically every in stance comes tne report that tne week just ending has oeen one of the most successful of ihe year. This state ol affairs, despite its con trast to the temporary inactivity re garding city property. Is easily to be accounted lor. There has been but little demand for the later from a buying Hnd setting standpoint because the average Kichmonder possessed of means enough to buy. Is taking a vacation. He does not wish to talk n v* j uic muri ui» the other hand, in moat of the sales recorded during the week, the buyer of farms has been an out-of loan resident. He too, ao far as his own locality Is concerned, is on a vacation, but he uses tnat period ot recreation in coming to Richmond to Inspect properties whloh he ha* seen advertised. And in a goodly majority of instances these visitors turn out to oe customers, and good customers. Its Ins a Factor. The inactivity in the local market has really been no more pronounced during the past week than ha* been the case for several weeks. Business has unquestionably been dull. Even had the “coming back" period been on the verge of setting in. however, it would have been at least delayed tty the intermittent rains which have swept Kichmuntl so many times dur ing the past seven days. There Has been little or no chance In show property to its best advantage, and when such Is the ease it is diffi cult to make a sale. Appearances count for much in the real estate man’s business, and knowing this, the wise dealer has not even attempted to take his prospective customer to the spot he hoped to sell him. On the other hand, however, a num ber of "good prospects'' have been Jined up. and when the vacation season ends these will be seen, and probably be Induced to help swell the total profit* of the local concerns. Even though there have been few sales, the activity of the demand for houses lo rent has more than com pensated the agents. According to a member of the firm of Green Redd, it Is not improbable that there will be less than a scare of vacant houses cm September 1. Many people are mov ing. but these, of course, must have hew quarters. The houses and apart ments they vacate, too, are rarely al lowed to remain unleaaed for more than a few days. It has been neces sary to replenish the printed slips con taining a list of house which may be leased several times at all th-j offices engaged In this business, and the clerks are kept busy drawing up rental agreements. Demand Is Even. There seems to be a remarkable evenness between demand for apart ments and for houses. During the early part of the week there was little tall for anything save apartments. Throughout the lost three days, how ever. the demand has veered and cus tomers have wanted houses. Those who wanted the former. In almost every instance, were young married couples. Those who wished the latter were more settled couples, not Infre quently with several children. I The apartments and houses which have met with the most popular de mand have rented for 1360 or *400 an nually. Such a rental suits the purse ot the average salaried man. There has. however, been no lack in the de mand for more expensive homes, and apartments renting as high ns *1,000 annually have been leased during the PHa# week. ^Jhe demand for farms, as already st^ed, has been unusually active. Tracts of land containing anywhere from 60 to 1.200 acres have been sold by the Wilds Land Company, by R. B. Chaffin dr Co., and by Oasseltnan Co:, put through fouh sales within the past week, the largest of these being a 700 acre farm In Powhatan county, the purchase price of which was J1J, 000. This farm was sold to a Western man. who Intends to raise sheep. Other farms have been sold in Hen rico and Chesterfield counties, all bringing good prices. In addition to the sales already made, the dealers In farm lands are being practically swamped with letters of Inquiry from Interested persons In all sections of the country. In years gtme by a' majority at thelse Inquiries went to dealers in property In North and South Carolina, but more recently Virginia farms are leaping to the fore and are commanding almost undivided atatention from those bent on taking up rural life. Many Western Bujfera. Strangely enough, too, a majority of tbege Inquiries are from the far .West; Arkansas being especially well represented. Those Westerners who have already bought farms In this State have written such glowing ac counts of their success to their friends In their former homes that the latter seem te have become possessed of a desire for emulation. There I* too, another class of buy ers who might be classed as business lentlmallsts.

Where one dwelling costing 15.000 or 110,000 would be built In the heart of the city, five or ten resi denies that coat no more than 11.000 1 each would be erected in the suburbs, i Oak Grove has become a city lr. i Itself and now rivals Swansboro In j size and surpasses It in the beauty of i its architecture.

GREAT OUTLOOK FOR PRESENT CROP g Summer Yield Was Enormous and1 Indications Aro That Fall Fruit Will Surpass Former High Standard. (Special to The Richmond Virginian^ CROZET, August 20.—Virginia promises to surpass Its wonderful record of previous years this sea*o»'| In the matter of apple growing. H« in the heart of the Piedmont the home of the famous Albem* pippin, indications point to a trtMSS mandous yield this fall. The summer crop has been enorn|« I ous and farmers have netted splendfcjff profits from the sale of their fruit. Reports from throughout the Stata, point to favorable conditions. ;ila This Commonwealth ranks elghU»;| in the number of apple trees grouts Ing. More than 100,000 trees, wt Albemarle far in the lead, are gros In the following counties: Angus Bedford. Patrick, Rockingham, T5 son, Franklin, Rappahannock, Ft crick, Floyd, Carroll, Botetourt*| Roanoke, Pittsylvania. Shenandoah,! Washington. Rockbridge, Am her Scott, Ia>e, Madison and Fairfax. 10.000,000 bushels of apples have been produced annually in this Stale. Farmers Encouraged. Last year's crop brought a gra deal of money into the State fruit growers were more encour than ever. Many new orchards wets set out. The reliability of the Vir ginia orchards i* noted. The bearing quality and longevity of Virginia or chards is something which the cannot equal. On the other side of the Mississippi twenty or twenty-flvo years is about the lift of an orchard, while in this section today there ara trees which have neen bearing fruit for seventy-five and eighty yearn. S'-me trees are known to have largo crops of fine quality when more than a century old. From Coveaville, this county, corn# some of the finest and highest priced apples. About 50.000 barrels ad*; shipped annually from that point at prices ranging from $3 to |«.T5. One grower of Covesvllie never gets lean than *5 a barrel for his apples. All first class apples from this section ara. shipped direct to English market* where they are said to be superior to any received in the United Kingdom. They frequently top the market in price, exceeding that paid for the beat Oregon fruit. Frederick County. is In Frederick county the annual crop is valued at about 1200,000, tha growers receiving from $1 to |2 barrel. Rappahannock is always pro* ducing apples of high quality, while Augusta. Patrick. Bedford and all of tha Valley and Piedmont cuiVtUW. fn the same class. Each year the apple industry o| the Old Dominion is increasing. Grow. ers of the fruit are patient and per*. severing and with the application Of business methods in the orchard ut in the markets the gain In reward 1 steadily increased. As a fruit _ ing center, Virginia offers one of finest agricultural investments in United States. Packing. Few people outside of the wh sale Jobbery trade and the fancy tail store realize the Importance it fine style of package in putting fruit for market. The grower sees his fruit on trees and It looks fine; he sees hil neighbor’s trees and they about the same. The two nelghti start packing; one makes a pack and a perfect grade; the makes an ordinary pack and an nary grade: The two may through the local merchant or thi aociatton and little difference w be noticed. The two package* 1 scarcely been opened before the taller will order more of the flj»eg and before he realizes It the saler will find his stock of the pack exhausted and Is wiring for i while the ordinary pack, though gq drags along and gets "dead look.il and Is finally sent to the counter. Many who know say: "In pack handle your apples like loose Bruising Is sure death to a package of apples. It takes an pert to properly pack apples. usual way is to pour the frwtfei until within a few incites of the.! hoop of a barrel, then without 1 pretense of leveling squeeze do press until the juice files.

In adopting this type of rar the company has three principal object? in view: Firat: The prevention of accidents to passenger* entering or leaving car. Second: The facilitation of the collection of fares by the conductor, enabling him the more closely to attend to the operation of the car. Third; The elimination of pushing and crowding, hy keeping the.conductor out of the car and by providing separate doors for entrance anti exit of passengers.

It is believed that the above results can be fully realized here if the company has the co-operation of its petrous in the observation of a few simple rules, as follows: 1. Passengers are requested to have exact amount of fare ready, cash or tickets. 2. Passengers will enter only by rear platform at point marked "entrance on car and follow the direr un the aliove drawing.

Transfers will be asked for at time of depositing fare in fare box Passengers desiring change, tickets or transfers are requested kindly to allow those with exact fare and not needing transfers to pass in first, thus facilitating the movement into the car. 8. Conductors are not required to change bills of larger denominations than $2.00. ti. Standing on rear platform will not be allowed, as it blocks entrance and exit. 10. No baggage or bundles will be allowed on the platform. If too bulky to be taken inside, bag gage will not be allowed to be taken on car. 11.

The IS 10 (Hidden tour proved to be a whole lot more than a mere re liability test of automobiles. Before more than two or three days had elapsed, it became evident that the run was equally an endurance test of men. By the time Memphis was reached, the Gliddenltes were begin ning to inquire hi>* much life insur ance was carried by Dai Lewis, the official pilot, ami there were some oc casion when thing# looked dark for the Jovial man at Buffalo, i Dal was probably tn moat danger I from Joe Matson, who drove tho Chalmers pilot the last seven days of the tour. Matson nates sanci more than anything In the wofld. He can endure mud, stumps, rocas and almost every other form of rough going, but when his i ar begins to slew about In the deep sugar sand, the famous rac ing driver is about ready to quit. Kach day Lewis promised Matson that there would be no sand, but each day found the Chalmers pilot, some time during the run, again ploughing Its way through the going which Mat son hates. Kach time some sand was encountered, Matson would turn to the and call him every name to which no always good-natured pilot of the tour could lay his tongue. Lewis would smile cheerfully and invariably end the conversation by asking: "What 1* the matter, Joe? You will hit a lot rockier roads than this be fore finally reaching the place where all naughty boys who ourse their friends are sure to go.” Not only did those who were forced to make the 1910 (Hidden tour find the best road conditions In Iowa, but they met with a reception that would gladden the heart of au In /eterate pessimist All along the famous •River to River" route, the farmers hung out flags, (Hidden tour signs and gay bunting In honor of the tourists. There were some stretches where not a -farm house lr a distance of more than fifty miles was left undeco rated. The Chalmers pilot car had to make some pretty early starts and its crew did not anticipate very enthusiastic receptions, since the pilot came along about two hours earlier than the tour was expected. But most Of the farnv* ers remembered Dal Lewis from the pathflnding trip. which also made In a Chalmers, and did their best to make hl.s progress across Iowa pleasant. In a number of Iowa towns brass bands and elegations of young women turned out to welcome the Chalmers confetti car. At nearly every cross roads, picnics were held, farmers coming from far and near to watch the Ollddenites go by. The most striking feature of these gathering was the number of auto mobiles one saw. On several of-castons the crew of the pilot car counted as many automobiles as horses and wagons. It la said that one farmer In every five In Iowa owns a motor car. From the enthusiasm with which the Olldden tour was received. It will jnot be long before nine farmers In every ten own automobiles.

Aug. 20 —Re fused entry by Cuba, rejected by his nativs land, and apparently “a man without a country," Marceltno Uribe, a Mexican, was to-day accepted by Im migration officials at New Fork city In response to orders from the De partment of Commerce and Labor. Uribe first came to America four years ago and obtained a position as an iron worker. To all appearances he has been Industrious and happy. But he heard the call of the land of. h.la, childhood. A year ago he smuggled himself as a stowaway Into the hold of a veaael bound to Cuba, satisfied that he would soon see the shores of his homsland. When the vessel reached Its desti nation Uribe was apprehended by tha Cuban immigration officials, refused entry, and was ordered deported to the United States. He escaped from the Cuban officials and succeeded In stow ing away In a Mexican veaael, deter mined that he would In some way reach Mexico. When the boat arrived at her dock he was "naabbed" again and re fused entrance. Trial after trial he made to gain access Into the interior, but all were futile. Wearying of these unsuccessful attempts, he decided that the United States was good enough for him. He made his waV back to New York, only to be detained again by Immigration officials and confined on Kills Island. He told his story and the case was appealed to the depart ment. It was learned that his former employer would take him back, and to* i day Uribe Is happy—at Mast teg
