WANT PLANTS, NOT PEOPLE Bureau at Washington, D. C, Con ducts Large IK-partnient for Gath er! ns Species Which Add to Wealth of Country. WASHINGTON', D. C April :0. That Jt.on Immigrant representing prac tically every quarter of the srlobe hve been admitted to this country In the at 14 rears In spite of the fact that they could neither read nor write, and were deaf, dumb and blind Into the bargain. In a fact as little known that I'nelo Sam has brouicht them In without consulting their wishes and f them to work without even a cent o wages. Most surprising of all. however, through the activities of these, appa rentlv liopelesalr useless aliens, bun Hreds of million' of dollars have been added to the country's wealth. aaae Are Aflstoerals. These curious Immigrants, however, tome of whom are aristocrats and some Plebeians, are not human beings, but riant, and the method of thflr Intro flurtion to this country constitutes one of the most Interesting as well a one of the least known features of a work of extreme Importance to the whole rountry which the Government Is carry ing on. Though few persons are aware . of the fact. I'ncle Sam for a decade and a half has rywtematlcaily been en couraging vegetable Immigrants. To assist In this work a plant Immigration station Is maintained here, where each specimen arriving goes through an e amtnation very similar to thAl to which human Immigrants are subjected. Kacli specimen Is si-ruttnlxed to see that It Is free from disease and likely to be come a desirable citizen anti. If so. helped to become established In this country. How successful these aliens have been Is shown In the fact that in the last' 14 years 31.00 of them have been admitted by the Kureiu and put to work Increasing our National wealth and diversifying food supply. Generally speaking, these plant im migrants, while all are useful, may be classed as aristocrats and commoners. One of the former In which the De partment is especially Interested, which Is in a fair way to be given citizenship In our markets. Is the mango, irom India. It Is totally different from the West Indian secdilrg mango, reekln? of turpentine. Mr. Kairchlld pronounces 11 ine moat urutiviis u un u. describes It as tasting a little like pineapple, but without the acidulous quality of that fruit, possessing a bint f the apricot and a delightful aromatic flavor rare In fruits. A hundred mungo - trees were planted in California In 190; and In 1910 one bore boo fruits, which soId at 12 cents apiece, while the latest reports from orchards now in existence promise a large crop. In Iir lla annual celebrations are held In honor of the mango tree, of which there are hundreds ot varieties pro during fruits ranging in size from a plum up to six pounds. Two other strange fruits which are In a fair way to become contestants for American honors are the loiuat. from China, and the carrlsa. from Southern Africa. The latter fruit is about ready to come on the market from American orchards in Callfornl It Is a brilliant red In color, about the size of a plum, but without the large seed of the plum. Dozens of other rare transplanted luxuries are growing In odd corners of the country awaiting the time when they may successfully tickle the National palate. Sagar Beet Valaed Issmigraat. Among the better known plant aliens of recognized desirability which have Immigrated from distant shores and lave become useful citizens are figs. dates, rice, sugar beets, camphor, tea and edible bamboo. Perhaps the most important, even though It be of ple beian origin, one which has literary built cities and provided a livelihood for thousands of people, produced an industry capitalized at m"re than $100. ftO.000. and benefited aliunde of agri culture Incalculably. Is the sugar beet. At first confined to California, it has spread over some 1 states and Is an nually grown on 4:3.014 acres with a direct return to the farmers of 1-1.-ton.000. The estimation in which the beet is held by .the farmers was shown not long ago. when they protested before a Congressional committee against the destruction of the sugar beet Industry through the elimination of the tariff on sugar, saying that not only would they lose an enormous amount of money di rectly, but much more Indirectly be cause of the Increased yields of oats, ' rye. wheat, corn and potatoes due to rotation with the sugar beet. A promising Immigrant from Japan l the Oriental persimmon, one of the hlef staples of Japan, where It out ranks the orange In popularity and Duantitr of production. It grows to a size of from four to five inches In diam eter and can be sliced like a peach or frozen after It Is thoroughly ripe and eaten like a sherbet. It is also dried, and In that condition may be eaten !lke a fig or prepared by stewing. A planting of sn.uno trees has Just been made In Florida, and the combined crop of the South this year will be consid erable. Investigation revealed the fact that the female Smyrna fig tree alone hears fruit, white the male, or aprl fig. sup plies pollen. Moreover, it was discov ered that a single insect. Blastopha gas. brought about the pollination nec essary for fruit production and that there are none of these Insects In this country. They hred In the caprl fig and were short-lived. The date palm, which 4000 years ago grew on the banks of the Kuphrates and Tigris rivers and made habitable many otherwise useless regions of the Sahara and Arabia. Is another Immi grant now well established In this country. It bids fair to be one of the most important Introductions ever made. Ckw tmr SBWkrltM Pewter. There Is a potent reason for grow ing camphor tn adjition to its produc tion as source of wealth In the fact that practically nl camphor comes from the Island of Fommih, belonging to Japan, and that camphor Is a necessary Ingredient In making smokeless pow der. GERMAN PRINTER IS SPY Attempt lo Steal Trade Socrrt Brings $1500 Fine. MANCHESTER. April German spies In England are not all In search of military secrets. Franz Wlnacn. son of a German textile printer, has just had to pay 11500 for trying to spy out trade secrets from the workmen of Sharp Sons, who have a big business In that line In Yorkshire. This was one of the prosecutions undertaken by virtue of the prevention of corruption act. Wlnzen came over from Germany especially to extract the details of the secret process used by the Sharp Company, and he went about his spying In a systematic way. Calling on an engraver employed at the Sharp, works, he asked him to get a bottle of the printing mixture useu and as much Information as possible as to the machineryoffering $130 for the work. But the engraver was loyal to his concern and told his boss, who ar ranged that he and others should have further Interviews with the spy and lead him on to commit himself to more definite extent. So. the tricky Teuton was made to pay sundry dollars to the engraver, and finally drew up an agreement to en gage another of the Sharp men who knew the process, for his German fac tory for five years, tr When that Inter view ended Wlnzen was arrested, but the Eharn Company was content to make him pay the fines and costs as a warning, and did not press for a prison sentence. , PRIZES AWAIT NRDHEN (iHF.M AMKIUCAX CirtCl.IT OF FKRS MAXV VXIQl'E AWARDS. Chioaco Chosen as Starting and Stopping Point In "Air Track' 1810 Miles Long. NEW TORK. April 20. (Special.) The Aero Club of America, with the co-operation of the Aero Clubs of Illi nois. Michigan. Milwaukee. Kansas City, St. Louis. Indiana and Clnclnanti. O., Is organizing an aeroplane circuit of 1SI0 miles, which will he hold In the month of August, and will be known as the Great American Circuit. Chicago will be the starting and fin ishing point of the circuit. The route proposed Is Chicago, Milwaukee. Cedar Rapids. rxs Moines. Omaha, St. Joseph. Kansas City, Jefferson City. St. Louis, Charleston. Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland. Toledo. Detroit and Chicago. stops will be made at each city, where there will be a "control" or station, and possibly at other cities situated along the route. The circuit Is to be open to all licensed pilots of all nationalities, who will be free from Injunction umlr the Wright patents. The prizes probably will amount to $100,000. and will Include a grand prize of $25,000. second prize of $5000 and third prize of $2500. Among the other prizes to he given are: Prizes for first and second machines to reach each control, a special prize for American built and flown machine, first to arrive, and special prizes for least horsepower to complete course. passenger carrying, first to flash a wireless message to a control, great- t number of wireless messages deliv ered, best maps made en route and de scription of conditions; first aeroplane fitted with a stabilizer to arrive, and most completely equipped machine. The Great American Circuit Is ex pected to be greater than any of the circuits held last year in Europe, and will Include features never before In cluded In aerial contests. All the cir cuits last year were essentially races for speed between two points, and the prize went to the fastest. No effort was made to bring out the qualities of aeroplanes other than speed. Thus. hile the splendid performances of Beaumont. Vedrines. Garros and other clever airmen created a great deal of enthusiasm and interest, there really. was little of practical value brought out that the world did not know or that would bring the aeroplane nearer to the average man for general use. In the Great American Circuit every In ducement Is given to bring out and demonstrate the practical side of avla- tlon. Unless less horsepower, carrying pas. sengers over a long distance, using wireless telegraphy for communicating from aeroplanes, using automatic sta bilizers and less human element, and having aeroplanes fitted with scien tific Instruments for travel and devices to promote comfort these are all prac tical features, which; when applied, will make the aeroplane cheaper, safer nd a vehicle of service as well as pleasure. IRISH CHIEF BARON WITTY Mot of Famous Court Dignitary Long Preserved. TH'BLIX. April 20. Special.) Sir William Waller Bruce, Bart., who died suddenly In the National Liberal Club In Lomlnn last Saturday, was a great grandson of the Right Hon. Standlsh O'Orady. Viscount Gulllamore. Lord Chief Baron of the Irish Court of Ex chequer from 103 to 1SS1, who was noted for his acrimonious humor. Borne of his mots have been preserved. On an acquittal of two culprits for an atro cious burglary, their counsel demanded their Immediate discharge. "Oh. will you allow me. If you please." was the reply of the Chief Baron, "to get half an hour's start of your clients out of the town" The Earl of Hardwlcke. who In formed the House of Ixirds the other night that he had worked under ground lor two years as a miner In America. would hold the title of Baron Morden today. In addition to the others which he possesses, but for the fact that his great-great-grandfather. Lord Chancel lor Yorke. declined on his deathbed to authenticate the patent of the peerage conferred upon him on his elevation to the Woolsack, on which he never sat. The second son of lxird Chancellor Hardwlcke attained his ambition to reach the same high office as his father, but survived his appointment only by three days. The present peer Is not the first of his family to have seen the rough side of life, nis father, who died In 190. saw active service as a Naval officer In the Crimea, while his grandfather. he fourth earl, who was also In the Navy, had some exciting experiences In connection with the suppression of piracy In the Mediterranean. An ear lier holder of the title was the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland at the time of Robert Emmett's rebellion, and his ac ton, or lack of action, at the time was he subject of considerable debate in the Imperial Parliament. Keeall In Virginia Mountain. Harper's. fco tragic a matter as the shooting of Julge Massle and his court officers at Hlllsvllle. Virginia, makes a bad setting for a smile, but If It were not for that one would smile at the reca.ll ers. confronted with thia example of their theory carried out in Its simplest form. Everybody knows about the mountain people of Virginia and the adjoining states, their Isolated com munities, feuds, clannlshness. and law lessnesses. The pity of the good Judge's death Is almost equaled by the pity of his murderers' crime. These mountain people are like children who have run wild, and very like the Highland Scotch as we read of them In Scott's novels. It Is an 111 task to hunt themJ-was down, and a dangerous one, too, but of course there Is nothing else to do, and It Is being done apparently with prop er vigor. ST IS VIVIDLY TOLD American' Describes Scenes m Chinese City Following . Revolution. NATIVES SHOW GOOD SENSE Dancerous Situation Caused by Lack of Money Relieved W"hcn Citizens Subscribe J.ilierally and For dsn Loans Arc Made. BY FRANKXYX M. BERWICK. CANTON. China, April 20. (Special.) During the revolution and after the cessation of hostilities, ono nf the most careful observers of conditions con nected with tho evolution of this coun try from an empire to a republic was an American, It. S. Kinney, of the For eign Lmnguagc School. in an endea vor to learn tho experiences of the people of this great city. 1 sought Mr. Kinney and heard from him tho follow- ng Interesting details. Ho said: "The revolution in Canton passed through three manes.-so to speak. All Is quiet now. though the air is full of ominous rumors, and the fourth stage may be Impending. "The first stage waa the period im mediately succeeding the overturning of the government. This was marked by an era of good will and freedom. The heavy suspense of tho preceding weeks was over, men breathed more freely and there was a general feeling of relief and satisfaction that all had been done without bloodshed. The shops were all opened within a few days and appeared to be doing a good business. The streets, which for weeks had been almost deserted, were thronged with people and many who had lied to Hongkong or Macao re turned. Coortenjr Shorn Foreigners. . "One very marked feature of this period was the extreme courtesy shown to foreigners. Then, too, the Christian religion, the flrst time for a Jong while, was perfectly free and men were at liberty to preach anywhere that they could get an audience. Before that time the Bible had been branded as revolutionary literature and it Is a fact that at least one man waa shot for selling Bibles, on the ground that he was circulating revolutionary litera ture. Many had been Imprisoned for this offense. But the very day after the revolution I saw a man on one of the most Important streets of the old city openly hawking and selling Bi bles and Testaments. A few weeks before he would have done so at the risk of his life. 'In many open places of the city men were proclaiming the principles of republican form of government or giving lectures on various ethical sub jects. But there were some bad fea tures, one of which was the prompt opening of gambling places In all parts of the city. This, however, was not for long, as a notice was posted to have it stopped and a half dozen who refused to obey tho order were promptly shot. The effect of this was salutary, for I have not seen the slight est sign of gambling since. "The first period was followed by what I will cull the era of suspicion. Men charged with being royalists were escorted through the streets with their arms tied behind them or In chalnB, and some were executed. There were several street skirmishes between so-called royarlsts and revolutionary soldiers, and in one case, many of the royalist suspects were captured. Their leaders were shot. Finally, men were hunted down In the streets, houses were searched and street fighting became general: the climax was an engagement that kept up all night. Many were killed In the street fighting and a score or more taken prisoners. It would have been better for the prisoners If they had been shot with the others, for their fate was worse than language can describe. Royalist Arrests Mopped. "Public Indignation at last put a stop to this kind of thing, and for some time I have not known of any arrests of royalists. I really doubt if there was anything of much consequence In the charges in any case. I think the move ment was more political than anti revolutionary In its aspect at all times. "The third, and so far the latest, stage was the period of financial strin gency. The money question has be come very acute Indeed, though recent ly the tension has been relaxed a lit tle. In order properly to understand the situation, it Is necessary to go back a bit. Prior to the revolution in Can ton, the revolutionary leaders had paid large sums to certain of the robber and pirate chiefs to raise disturbances In various parts of Kwang Tung and so embarrass the old government. After the overthrow of the throne, the rob ber chiefs with their men were asked to come to Canton and enlist In the new army, called the "People's Army.' They came by thousands, and In less than a week there were 20.000 of them in this city. This move was explained as done to draw away pirates from the country districts and have them under control In the army. However. I think the move had a twofold object. First, it was in fulfilment of some promises that had been made by leaders of the revolutionary movement: and second, it was to overawe any possible tendency on the part of the regular army to re main loyal to the Manchu cause. As to the second part. It was quite unneces sary, for this whole people, almost to a man. has been heart and soul favor able to a revolution. The government also called for recruits, and a host of Idlers and ne'er-do-wells, together with many good men. flocked to the stand ards. In a short time the army swelled' to Immense proportions, but the rob bers continued to come. Finally, an edict was Issued saying that no more men were to be recruited. This did not deter the robbers, for they were under their own chiefs and recognized no cen tral authority. They went to their re spective leaders, who gave them places. Money Required far Army. "Then trouble arose over the neces sity of obtaining money to pay this Im mense army, said to number almost 500.000 men. When officials, of the for mer government fled, they looted the treasury, leaving it empty. The people of Hongkong came to the rescue and in a single day subscribed over $000,000. which w-as sent to Canton at once. But there was no collection of taxes, nor has there been yet. The government has been forced to depend upon vol untary contributions from the people. Practically all civil officers have been getting no salary at all, or working for halt pay. But the army had to be fed. rlothed and paid. This soon drained the treasury, and It was reported there no money In sight. Boon tbe sol diers had not been paid for two months. People became alarmed: there were threatening rumors. It was feared that If the soldiers were not paid they would CANTON RUGGLE proceed to pay themselves with loot. Robbery, murder and Incendiarism be came of common occurrence. This was said nearly always to be the work of soldiers. In one case, some of them went to a man's house in broad day light and compelled him, under threats of being blown up by bombs which they carried, to sign an I. O. U. for $000. The next day they called and collected the money. This waa reported two days later. Then the man fled to Hongkong. Complaint was made, but the command ing general said the soldiers had not been paid for some time and the man was rich and need not mind the loss of a few thousand dollars. There were many Instances of this nature, In one of which the villains dug up the graves of their victim's ancestors and held the remains for ransom. Foreign Loans Made. "Fortunately, European nations and America have loaned the government money now, and these days are past. The army Is being sent to other por tions of the country, and this danger Is no longer ominous. But Canton waa on the verge of Issuing flat money indeed, somo had been printed, but it never got Into circulation, and it is to the credit of the Chinese people that they are as a rule opposed to the plan of Issuing paper money without a sil ver or gold reserve to support it. "While tho trouble and danger were at their height, the British authorities at Shameen took unusual precautions to guard the concession. This was done, It was said, on direct orders from Lon don. Breastworks of sand bags were erected in various places, barbed-wire entanglements were put up opposite the Chinese section, and soldiers and ar tillery men were brought up from Hongkong, so that the place looked as If It were In a state of siege. Costly treasure of all kinds was brought to the concession for safe-keeping, and when that became known there were wild threats of attack. Before such an event could materialize, word came of the foreign loans and we were saved GUY BREEDS HORSES ASTOR'S SOV-IX-IvAW ALSO IS A FRIEND OF IRELAND. Cnptntn Communicate With Board of Agriculture Relative to Im proving Quality. . DCRLIN, April 20. (Special.) Cap tain Spender-Clay, Waldorf Astor's son-in-law, evidently does not share the Astor family's antipathy towards Ire land. Before his trip to India a few months ago, he was In communication with the Irish Board of Agriculture with a view to promoting the breed ing of steeplechase horses that would ultimately bo the basis of 'a breed of animals suitable for army purposes. To encourage the experiment he offered to place $50,000 at the disposal of the Board. While the Agricultural Board has been looking around, considering the practicability of the proposal, the cap tain In conjunction with his friend Sir Gilbert Greenall. has decided to start a breeding establishment and has set tled on -erne of the most pleasant and picturesque spots In the whole of Ire land Mount Coote, near KUmallock In County Limerick. This Is another reason for the pleas ing reflection that while Irish Land lords are deserting Ireland quite a number of American, and English busi ness men are taking their place, whoso operations. It is hoped, will have a dif ferent effect on the temper of the people and the National prosperity of the country. Captain Spender-Clay's experiences of the South Africun war taught him that Irish horses were superior to any oth ers for military purposes. ARTIST'S WORK REALISTIC John Collier to Paint Surgeon and Operating Table. LONDON. April 20. (Special.) Real Ism has become a specialty of the Hon. John Collier, the distinguished British artist and son of the late Lord Monks well. A year or two ago he sent to the Royal Academy a picture of a doc tor in his consulting-room telling a young man he was doomed to die. This year he is going further giving the scene at the operating table of a great surgeon. J. Bland Sutton, one of the best- f known surgeons In London, will be the central figure In th s daringly realistic work. He will be seen standing by the bright copper.operatlng table, with Its side array of anesthetics, glass shelves and . blank white walls, lecturing the students on the work In hand. Those who have seen the picture In the artist's studio predict a storm of controversy over it when the Academy opens. A Spring Song. Carlyle Smith In Harper's.

Now, who can tell me who this was?" Silence for several moments: then a hand raised, and a small, sympathetic voice: "Please, ma'am, it was the fatted calf." HOME RULE NOT FEARED FAVORITE ORANGE BOGEY DE NIED BY METHODIST CLERGY. Lurid Tales of Protestant Persecu tion by Catholic, Told by Con servatives, Have Little Erfect. DUBLIN, April 20. (Special.) Whenever the Conservatives want to start a campaign against home rule, they begin first of all with the Eng lish Methodists and weave Jurld tales of the persecution of the Protestants that would result from the establish ment of a Parliament in Dublin. Now they are answered out of the mouth of Methodists, for a special commis sioner of that faith has been going the rounds In Ireland and has Interviewed the most prominent Methodists In the island, north and south. Tho result Is that the commissioiier has reported that he is "astonished at the large number of moderate men to be met with, and the strength of their feeling against the Irreconcilable attitude" taken by a recent meeting of Metho dists In Belfast. i The opinions by the most prominent of these Irish Methodists will serve as examples of the broader feeling that prevails outside the Orange fac tion the Right Hon. Thomas Shilling ton, of Belfast and Portadown, and Mr. Jasper Wolfe, ' of Sklbbereen. a lawyer well known throughout the South. Mr. Shllllngton said: "I do not anticipate any persecution of Protestants under self-government In Ireland. To put the matter on the lowest grounds, it would not pay. The commercial and financial status of the country before the world will depend upon the prevalence of equitable legis lation and administration, and the Irish people are not fools. Under ex isting conditions persecution could be much more easily carried on than un der a local legislature. I have a pro found belief that the Irish people will be found tolerant and reasonable un der home rule." Mr. Wolfe remarked: "As an Irish Methodist living In a remote southern circuit, I have no fear of the consequences of home rule. As aprofesslonal man living solely on the proceeds of my profession In a district almost entirely Catholic. I can not truthfully write that home rule has for me any of the terrors which It has apparently instilled into the minds of some of my Northern breth ren." He added that if he believed home rule would mean persecution he would be a pronounced anti-home ruler. But, he said, no cry of persecution comes from the south of Ireland, where the verv existence of the Protestant mi nority depends on the toleration tff cat nones. The statements of these leading Protestants are confirmed by the ac tual records of Ireland. Some of the most popular leaders of the National ist movement have been, and are to day, avowed Protestants. Moreover, the comparison of religious toleration in local administration shown by Catholic cities like Dublin and Prot estant cities like Belfast is all In fa vor of the former. In the Far East.
