ROBBERS NOT YET CAPTURED Police Maintain Secrecy and Even the Name of the Vie tling Are Kelnjr Withheld From the Public. New York, Aug. 8. The motit ex tensive Jewelry robbery ever perpe trated In this country, Involving a low of $200,000, Is reported by the Herald to be engaging the attention of the police and scores of private detective In eastern cities. Great secrecy sur rounds the robbery, which appears to have been committed about June 21st, in the Newport residence of a promi nent New Yorker whose name Is with held. Diamonds and other precious stones valued at the sum mentioned are missing. The matter has only be come public through the publication of a list of the missing Jewels. Orders have been Issued to spare no expense or labor to find the robbers and restore the Jewels. Every sug gestion that could be had In the dis covery has been covered but thus far the case is still involved in mystery. No effort has been relaxed, however, and the detectives are confident that they will clear up the case. For a week past notification of the robbery has been quietly given to pawnbrokers and diamond , dealers throughout the country In order that no opportunity should be offered for the disposition of the articles. It Is known that the victims of this gigantic robbery are among the wealth iest and socially most prominent of the summer residence of Newport. For this reason as well as for the possible advantage the thieves might have gained from the excitement following the utmost secrecy has been maintain ed concerning the case. winters necessitate the use of an enor mous amount of fuel This fuel can be grown within a few hundred yards of the house, far more cheaply than coal or wood can be delivered by the rail roads. The woodlot will not only fur nish fuel, but also, if the trees have been properly chosen, all fence posts and general repair material needed. wooaiots need not be planted as a separate venture. They can be grown In connection with and partly as the result of the establishment of shelter belts. The wider these are made, to a certain limit, and the more thor oughly they are extended around the farm, the greater the advantage In crop protection and the larger the an nual cut of wood obtainable. The first object of the bureau of forestry In its work in the Dakotas is to ascertain If the trees now growing there are the species that can be most profitably planted. The study will also cover the methods and cost of the tree planting that has been done, with the expectation of offering suggestions for Improving those methods and les sening the cost The results of this work can not fail to be decidedly ad vantageoua to the farmers of those states, who, It is to be hoped, will fur ther the work by offering the field parties all the information and as sistance in their power to give. BRAND NEW DISEASE- TREE PLANTING IN THE DAftOTAS We want YOUR Company I How Forestry Can Help to More Re munsrativ Agriculture. The growth of planted trees in the two Dakota s will be studied this sum mer by a field force of the bureau of forestry. Some little work of Inspec tion has previously been done In those states, but the possibilities of tree planting there are relatively unknown. The country Is high and level for the most part, though broken here and there by canyons and small streams. There is less planted timber than In Nebraska. The plantations are usu ally the work of those who took up timber claims. Unlike much of the planting under the same law elsewhere, that done in the Dakotas was generally not perfunctory, but careful and Intel llgent Those who took up claims planted not only because it was neces sary to make their titles good, but, since they felt the need of trees, they cultivated them properly, and they are now rewarded with valuable assets In their plantations. This growth will be carefully examined and measured as a basis for recommendations concern ing scientific tree planting and man agement The field force this summer will be six experts, divided into two parties. They will begin in the southern part of South Dakota and work northward, covering both states east of the 99th meridian. All persons In this area owning specially thrifty groves, and also, those who are experiencing dim culties in growing trees, will assist this investigation and will obtain the advice and assistance of . the bureau by communicating with Mr. J. M. Fetherolf, at Sioux Falls, S. Dak ..who is in charge of the force. The topography and climate of the Dakotas make tree plantations essen tial to the highest development of the rich agricultural lands. The rainfall is less than in Nebraska or Kansas, but this Is largely neutralised by the shorter crop seasons. The winds In summer are hot and dry, and of about the same velocity as in the two latter states. Because the rainfall Is so small and the evaporation, accelerated by the high dry winds, is so great, trees In abundance are required to off set these disadvantages. Properly selected, and planted as shelterbelts and windbreaks, trees will greatly In crease the yield from all crops by cut ting down the force of the wind and conserving moisture. The creation of woodlots Is one re sult of tree planting that should spe cially appeal to the residents of the Dakctas. The long and bitterly cold Ailment Peculiar to Linotype Operators Makes Its Appearance. Portland Journal: With the advent of the linotype machine, which has proven one of the greatest labor-saving devices of modern times and which has revolutionized journalism, naa come a new disease. It is peculiar only to lln otypers and those who work near the machines and the cause is attributed to the emanations which rise from the molten metal used in the operation of the machine. It Is called linotyper's disease. S. C Killen, foreman of the Journal composing rooms, is the first Hnotyper of this city to be attacked by the malady. He has been III since the 1st of July and has been under the con stant care of Dr. J. T. Walls. At first the doctor was much perplexed over the malady which affected Mr. Killen, but at last noticed that there were both symptoms of lead and anti mony poisoning. At last the physician concluded, after a careful study of the case, that the disease had been caused by breathing the fumes from the molten metal of the machine, which metal Is composed for the most part of antimony and lead. He began to treat the patient In order to counteract both antimony and lead poisoning and Mr. Killen began to Improve and is now almost re covered. Another case has recently come under the notice of the doctor. In many respects the symptoms are very like those of lead poisoning. There Is no vomiting or other evidence of in testinal disturbance, but there is mus cular tremor of the upper limbs, with tenderness on pressure over the balms and soles. Other symptoms as the microscopical changes of the skin are identical with those produced by a metal of the nitrogen or arsenal group apd not those produced by lead. The antimony has a tendency to destroy the red corpuscles which carry the ox ygen and this gives the patient a pale complexion. An article has recently appeared in the New York Medical Journal in which the views of Dr. Leslie Roberts of Liv erpool, England, Is given with those of Dr. Walls, The medical Journal also comment on the seriousness of the disease and advises that machine men have air shafts and ventilators erected for this purpose of carrying off the fumes. Many such air shafts have recently been erected In the United States. EXEMPTION LOST BY NEGLECT Failure to Declare Articles Purchased Abroad Bars f 100 Exemption. New York Commercial: Failure on the part of a passenger to declare ar ticles purchased abroad debars the passenger from the $100 exemption from duty prescribed by the Dlngley tariff law. This was the ruling laJ4 down yesterday by the Board of Unit ed States general appraisers when a decision was announced unfavorable t T. Bilodeau of New York. ' In overruling the claims made by Mr. Bilodeau, Judge Somervllie says: "The regulation of the secretary of the treasury in regard to baggage of returning American residents, requir ing them to declare on a detailed list all articles purchased by them abroad!. is a valid exercise of the power con ferred on the secretary by paragraph 697 of the tariff act of July 24, 1897. A failure to comply with this regular tion debars the passenger from the privilege of the f 100 exemption al lowed by Said paragraph." The Death Penalty. A little thing sometimes results la death.
