head of Turkey's secret police who Is In
refuge In London, in an interview yes
terday, said:
"I am glad to be here and it is not prob
able that I will ever return to Turkey.
You must remember that at the bidding
of my superiors I have been the mean of
ruining ministers, the government offi
cials, and 17.000 Turks, many of them of
the most honorable families, during my
term of office, disappeared.
"It mattered not who the persons were
to be removed, the orders from the Tlldis
(the residence of the Sultan) were im
plicitly obeyed: to be denounced by the
secret police was sufficient to ruin any
one. Can you wonder that Turkey lias
seen the last of me?"

"RUBBER LADY" IS MYSTERY I
PILES UP RICHES BY FOLIX5V
XSG STRANGE CALLING.
Imports Old Rubber From Coun
tries of World and Sells It
Again Successfully.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8. (Special.) The I
',.,hh. lav" hm ion a- been a creature
of mystery along the North River front
They have called her the "rubber lady"
because, for the last 10 years, consign- I
ments of old rubber shoes have" been
coming to- her from abroad.' :
Had it been new ruBDer tney woum
have thought nothing of: it, but tney
wondered why a woman should want to
Import old rubber shoes from Europe.
--At,m- 4A thi Vnhhar ladv" herself.
the sale of the apparently worthless
stock nets her a large annual mwuic.
Vrnm all th. eountrles of EurODe. but
principally Russia and Turkey, she re
ceives old ruDoer, wnicn is kdi to re
claiming plants In various parts of the
country. There the good rubber is ex
tracted and used over again m tne
manufacture of articles containing
rubber.
Lays up Goodly Pile.
By this trade the "rubber lady." Mrs.
inffiTBta Vafrnpr ha been made Inde
pendent. She lias brought up a family
or six cnuaren. one is .n umvwi.,y .
this special branch of the rubber busi
ness. Seated before her desk In her home
Mrs. Matzner doesn't believe in separat
ing her business Interests from her
home, as she is a mother first and a
business woman afterward she told
the history of her brief business career
in this country, which covers a period
of 12 years. Her business was started
by a chance Query sent in a letter
from a frlena across the water:
"Is there any . place in America
where I can dispose of old rubbers?"
waa the question. It set Mrs. Matzner
thinking.
"I will find out," she said to herself,
and then started out to vtolt some of
the big establishments that deal in rub
ber goods.
"I at once discovered." said Mrs.
Matzner, "that it waa not only possible
to sell old rubber overshoes but that
there was a big demand for them. At
once I wrote to my friend and told him
to send the rubbers along. Without
capital I carried on my business for a
couple of years, always carrying my
account at Tms bank. At the end of
two years I went to the head of the
bank and calmly asked for a good
many thousand dollars' credit.
"'Do you think you are good for HT
asked the banker.
"I told him I thought I was, and then
explained my business, with the result
that he gave me credit without hesitation.
From that time on I did as much busi
ness as J could conveniently handle.
"First, I got my stuff by the carload,
then by' the 200 tons, and now I get many
thousand tons at one time. By far the
largest part of my foreign stock comes
from Russia. Now. I know you will ask
me why; every one does.
"Well, It is this way. Nine-tenths of
the population of Russia wear overshoes
nine-tenths of the year. Both Summer
and Winter rubbers are worn.
Big Supply In Russia.
"So when it is understood that the
yearly collection of old rubbers in the
United States amounts to about 16,000
tons, it may be Judged what the export
from a country like Russia might be.
Turkey comes next in the amount of rub
ber scrap exported. .
"By far the largest reclaiming plants in
the world are In the United States, and.
altogether, the 1 do an enormous amount
of business. It is said that ons of them
expended within 24 months as much as
$750,000 for 11.000 tons of old rubber shoes.
The price of rubber scrap varies from 3
cents to 4H cents delivered at the factory.
"It Is a fact that the supply of old rub
ber Is not equal to mix old rubber with
new In manufacturing many articles. New
rubber is too heavy, for one thing, to
form the entire composition, and then of
late years the supply of new rubber has
been growing smaller each season. The
situation will Improve in time, for im
mense rubber plantations, have been
started and old ones renewed, but it will
be at least 20 years before the new
harvest will be reaped.
Short Life to Shoes.
"Women are heard frequently to re
mark that their rubbers don't wear so
long as they used to. The reason for this
is that there is a demand for light-weight
storm foot coverings and consequently
lees rubber Is used in them than in the
old-fashioned rubber shoes. The" result Is
that they do not wear so long.
"There Is an increasing demand for rub
ber each year. I import "between $300,000
and 2400,000 worth and am the sole repre
sentative of European firms. Some years,
of course, the importation amounts to
mors than that.
"I have always superintended the recep
tion and unpacking of my consignments.
In a way the business is something like
selling grain or cotton; for I make my
sales several months ahead, deal In fu
tures, as it were, precisely the same as Is
done on the exchanges." It may seem an
odd business for a woman, but it has
been a profitable one, and has enabled me
to earn my living, bring up my family

BOLL WEEVjL LOSES GRIP
i . '
Damage Xot So Great as In 190 7,
Says Report.
DALLAS, Tex., Aug. 26.-The United
State Bureau of Entomology has Just
completed a special Investigation to de
termine the exact present status of the
boll weevil. In this work entomologists
have visited 34 representative localities.
Of these localities. 34 were In Texas,
seven In Louisiana, two In Oklahoma
and one in Arkansas.
The result of the examination indi
cates the damage by the weevil to be
considerably less this year than In 1907.
The most Important indication is that
damage by the boll worm, though ex
tensive, will not offset the reduced dam
age by the' boll weevl!.' At each of the
places visited careful examinations were
given a number of fields which were
selected to represent the general condi
tion of the locality. In almost all cases
fields were visited that had been ex
amined earlier in the season and also
during previous seasons. From this . in
vestigation It is considered that the es
timation of damage has been reduced
to as exact a basis as Is practicable.
The report was prepared by Dr. W. D.
Hunter, a special field agent for the
Bureau of Entomology and in charge
of the boll weevil investigation in the
ScfUth.
TRAITORS AR BETRAYED
Chinese Mutineers Turned Over tc
Government for $17 Each.
HONGKONG, Aug. 26. Admiral LI, of
the Chinese navy, with his flagship and
several gunboats, sailed from Wuchow
today for Canton, taking with him as
prisoners 60 of the mutinous soldiers
from Konghaw, whore 1000 men revolted
on August 12: killing their commander
and several others, routing a force of
loyal soldiery from a nearby town and
finally withdrawing to the mountains of
Talking, where they Joined forces with
the wild tribes of the hills.
Admiral Li's prisoners were taken by
means of the villagers at Konghaw, who
betrayed them Into the hands of the
government forces for 25 taels (about 217)
a head. The rebellious soldiers spoke
a strange dialect and their detection
and subsequent betrayal to the authori
ties was an easy matter.
At Wuchow the gates of the city,
which have stood open for weeks past,
have now been closed owing to the dis
turbed state of the country following the
mutiny at Konghaw.
ADMEN HOLD CONVENTION

thls morning at the opening of the fourth
annual convention of the Associated Ad
vertising Dubs of America. The gather
ing will continue in session through Fri
day and subjects of importance will be
discussed by men well known In the
newspaper and other advertising lines.
Three sessions will be held each day, and
to cover the intervening time an. elabo
rate programme of entertainment has
b?en planned by thejocal club.
Today's convention programme includes
addresses by Smith B. Queal, of Clncin-
have only on the authority , of a well
known writer on the subject.
There was some discussion here tooay
of the position alleged to have been
taken by. Senator Hopkins, of Illinois,
that the policies of a Presidential candi
date, so far as they are not contained in
the party platform, are not binding pn
the party. Judge Taft declined to make
the matter a controversial one. It may
be said, however, that attention was
called to the fact that the rate bill that
was recommended to Congress by Mr.
Roosevelt waa not specifically approved
by the Republican platform of 1904 but
that it was adopted by a Republican Con
gress on his recommendation.

party will leave the Virginia hot springs
at 8:30 Friday evening in a special car
which is to be attached to the regular
train. The newspaper correspondents
will accompany Judge Taft in the special
car, the cost of which is borne by the
party in common.
Athens, Ohio, will be reached at 10:40
A. M. Saturday and Judge Taft will de
liver a non-political address to the veter
ans there. The departure from Athens
will be at 3:28 P. M., and the arrival at
Toledo will be after 10 o'clock Saturday
night. In order to avoid Sunday travel
the party will embark at once for Middle
Bass Island, where Judge Taft will de
vote a week or two to fishing. His chief
of staff, A. L Vorys, will Join him at
Athens, but will not go directly to Mid
dle Bass Island. He will rejoin Judge
Taft there at a later data next week.
The only excursion from Middle Bass
now on the programme la scheduled for
September 2, when Judge Taft will at
tend the G. A.-R. National encampment
at Toledo. Although the date is not
definitely fixed the party probably will
leave for Cincinnati on September 7.
Judge Taft is receiving a number of
communications indicating that the sup
port of the colored voters has not been
withdrawn from him. Copies were re
ceived today by the candidate of reso
lutions of endorsement adopted by the
Colored Republican Club of New Rochelle,
N. Y., and the Charles E. Hughes Afro
