Ile wiIf eubmit first that front Commissiouer Waldo he received numeroue ordure, ae the commander of the teurth in- at,peetiou district (the now fender - loin), and not to enter disorderly houses ior the purpose e of getting evidence, .and that he was told further that the unly evidence neeessary was seeing e saffielent number of men go into such places; 6econd, letters and speeches made by the Mayor advocating "out- ward decency" and as to how police- men should. tet as regards disorderly houses and gambling houses; third, that Commissioner Waldo over the telephone ordered him not to raid dis- orderly houses- saying that the Mayor believed. that cinch activiey was likely to increase, police grafting rather than decrease it. "One difficulty in my ease is that .1 may not be able to show in writing that my orders came from Mayor G•tty- nor," said Hayes, "but I knew, and every inspector in town knew, that the Mayor was running the police de- partment and did not • approve cer the oustomary methods of getting • evi- dence." The former commander of the new Tenderloin eitys• that a lawyer friend of his had come to him and had told hint that he was likely to be indicted as a reeult of the Rosenthal case. One of the things that Hayes' friends said he had in mind was the story • Bridgie Webber 'Told of having been visited in the West Side Court prison at two o'clock one morning by a policeman in plain elothe.s, who shook a fist through the bars of Webber's cell and said: "You eloal thinkwe can get to you, eh? Well, what do you think of me being here? You can say all you please about Becker, but if you men- tion Hayee' oame you'll be sorry for yourself." The inspector tot his friends berme diatele t i cse the story get out that Webber a ite lying if he said that the nocturnal visitor came front Hayes. Whatever the outcome of the po- lice trial may be, it is it. 'fact that In- spector Hayes' position is not without interest in the investigation of the .graft side of the Rosenthan case. His name and the names of other policemen have been mentioned to the district at- torney by Jack Bose, and it was said to -day that Mr. Whitmau might want to question Hayes.

MBER Big Plans for New Forest Industry. Syndicate Will Reforest as They Cut. Toronto, Aug. 1D. ---A great system of forest industriee, employing a small army ot trahied leen and operated upon lines that will male. a mite departure from the westend lumbering methods of the past, is to be started in North- ern Ontario. Negotiations are now wi- der way by whieir, it le expected, a large area in the north oil be seeurled by pri- •vate interests, and devoted to the mak- ing of wood products that will utilize every inch of the trees from the roots to top. With it will be carried. on re- foresting and the scientific culture of tX isting timber. The mail who is behind the projed is F, L: Bartedt, a &Iasi%) capitalist who 4..,orilrolN iiuiIar industrieo in nor- mally and Russia and is interested largely in a number of enterpries itt England. Mr. liarledt is. now in Toron- to awaiting the outcome of the negotia- ttions. Although for a great many ,years a British citizen, a county magistrate and the holder of various public posts, he is German born, a fact tnat may ac - coma for the remarkable attention to details that distinguishes the system he is planning to establish in the north. Mr„Barledt knowe Northern Ontario. lie has travelled great d ista nces through the bush, estimating the tim- ber, studying transportation awl gen- erally gathering data with a view to determining the most promising dis- trict in which to locate. Mr. Barledt's proposition has nothing to do with colonization or with 'farming except ia so far as the building 'up of large induetries .employing many men will provide a market for the settler's produce. "I am interested ouly in forestry," he eaid. "If we get the territory need- ed we will apply our whole attention to that. :We will have different industries. We will also everything from the roots to the top of the tree. The waste that one sees seems to me alone a erhue. With us there will be no waste. Even the dead trees we will use. 'When we go Into the forest we will clear out the timber, all the dead trees, 'We will give the trees a eliance to grow strong and quickie.. How would you grow if you were crowded close to others all the time hrenthmg impure air? Well, tbe trees must have air, they must have room. We, will eleau out the under- brush and the dead: wood and thin out the places where the trees are too taick. An that material we wilt use in making various products. -Then we will plant what berries are suited to that dietrict-and use the ber- ries," he added with a smile. The . plans for the northern venture inelude a systematic 'reforeetation. Ex- pert foresters will protect the trees from disease, see that the land is properly drained and supervise the cutting. if the. thousands of acreneked are secured the men to do the expert work in the industries will be brought over from the old country and will be kept employed in the forest all the year round. "We don't believe -in keeping them for only eight 0)7 nine months.," ex- plained. Mr. Barletta "We keep our -filen with es all the time. They will be no city men. They will have to live in the forest. We will encourage the men by letting OM 6hare in the procas. 'We split them equal, 'fifty per cent. for the men who do the work and the other fifty for the men who mit up itireiatii- tal. If the profits are $100,000, $50,000 will go to the men and $50,000 to us." Mr. Barledt has been coueidering the advantages of starling at qualbet, but favors Ontario for its several advant- ages. CHU AROUSED tflaVeri*letlereaM Execution of GeneralsRais- ed a Storm. Two Oilic3rs Were Killed Without Trial. London, Aug. lie -The Pekincote respondent of the Daily Telegraph says the whole of China, is convulsed over the recent execution at Pekin of two generals who were suspected of a conspiracy to start a new revolution. Presideut Yuan Shih Kai has become alarmed at the violence oS the out- cry, and is publishing the •telegram from Vice -President 14 Yuaz Chung advising the Presluent of the plot with the view of putting the blame on him. It is unaerstood that the Advisory Council will attempt to impeach Yuan Shih Kai, who is so convinced of the poesibillty of his assassination that he has surrounded himself with throngs of troops so that access to him is impossible. The turning point in the life of the Republic, according to • the cor- respondent, has arrived. Yuan Shih Kai cannot much longer delay show- ing his real hand. The correspond- ent, in giving the details of the exe- cution of Gen. Chang, says that there was something curiously devilishin the manner in which it was carried out. Chang, whatever his guilt may have been, was trapped, Bannerman Gen. Tuan Chi Kuni, to whom Presi- dent Yuan had entrusted the execu- tion, dined with Gen. Chang at a European hotel and toasted him re- peatedly. When the dinner ended the victimleft for his lodgings out- side the Chien Mien gate-. Strong bodies of mounted and unmounted gendarmerie held the gate and its approaches. Just as Gen. Chang's carriage neared the gate Tuan, who was in a carriage following the vic- tim, blew g. whistle. A forest of sabres and bayonets sprang up as if by magic. Chang was dragged from his carriage bound with ropes. flung into a mule cart and taken befote a military court, where the judges were already sit- ting. They simply announced that Chang's death had been decreed and ordered that he be instantly shot. No evidence was taken and no witnesses were called. Chang was taken into the court -yard and tied to a pillar. The firing party levelled their rifles aud fired. The unfortunate officer was not killed by the first volley and cried out: -"My heaven, my parents, what. sin have I committed?" The volleyingbcontinued until General Chang had been disemboweled. 'The last horrible detail of the ex - &tenon is that since it was neces- sary to dress the corpse a message was sent to Chang's wife, asking for more clothes, "as your husband feels the cold night air."

Paris, Aug. 18. --Atter the debate in the 'Senate about a month ago over Senator Empereur's complaint that the law in regard to gambling at clubs and casinos Was unsatisfactory, the Govern- ment promised to introduce a 'bill sub- stituting a proportional, progressive tax %on the gambling receipts of casinos in- eead 01' the present fixed rate of 15 per cent. It was shown during the debate that there were 143 of thee casinos at 123 watering places. Thegross receipts during the year 1911 were $9,605,000,000, • out of which the Government received $1,441,000. The Government stated at the time that it was opposed. to the State. taking over the gambling monop- oly, but that a bill would be prepared giving the State a larger percentage of the receipts of the casinos. This bill is now ready. It leaves 15 per cent. of the receipts as, the ;mini- mum rate to be paid. by the casinos. The tax progresses to 55 per cent. when the receipts reach a million of francs.

RARE PAINTINGS Two Old Masters Discover- ed in Italy, Florence, Aug. 18. -Two art (Re- coveries in the Met week have at - tracked great attention to the towns of Rimini and Riviera. Corrado Ricci, 010 general director of fine arts at Rome, while visiting Rimini, fdiscov- ed traces of portraits of Sigismondo, Malatesta and 'sate. the Beloved on the bases or the pillars of the first chapel to the right on entering the temple erected by Siglemondo. The portraits had evidently been mutil- ated, and only the faintest outline remain, It is possible, however, to trace the elegant headdress of the lady tightly drawn back from the brow and gathered healed with. rib- bons and pins, and the graceful neck, and also the hook nose, hawk -like eye, sharp chin and smooth, laurel - crowned h.ea,d of the Lord of Rimini. Signor 1tice,1 also discovered in- ecribed on a decorated ribbon con- necting the first and second chapels the names, which were also partly obliterated, of the sculptor and archi- tect of the temple, Agestiue di Bac- ot, of Florence, and Mateo di Pasta of Vienna. He also found an in- scription under a metal plate which had been placed below Ieotta'e tomb, which read:--"Isotta Arimimensi et vertute Itsalle Decor' 1446." The other discovery was a, hitherto unidentified painting of Jacope Bai- lin', the father of the Gentile Giovan- ni Bellini, in the church at Riviera, whieh Was formerly part of the Sete vite monastery which was suppressed in 1653, and which because of its dilapidated condition is now to be devoted to secular purposes. Prof. Cortini in making a visit to the church before it was dismantled recognized a picture over the high altar of the Madonna and Child which was carried annually in pro- cession and exposed for three days in a neighboring church. It is a valuable work in a fair state of preservation. It is dated 1448, and signed "Bettina" This is the bee- ond picture of Bellini's found in. Italy. Santa, Monica, Cal., Aug. 18. -"It will .be imposeible to tell the exact extent of Mr. Goodwin's injuries or his .chances for recovery for at least four days," said Dr. C. W. Thom- as, one of the physicians who were in conference in St. Catherine's Hos- pital over Nat Goodwin, the actor, who was .perhaps fatally injured at Rocky Point. Mr, Goodwin was thrown on the 'rocks when his row- boat was caught in the breakers. "He will be probably crippled for life,' but we are doing the best we can do. He sustained internal in- juries in the lower abdomen, and several lacerations. The .entire groin. and right leg in the region. of the pelvis are also affected." Mr. Gooiteein is paralyzed from the waist down, and will probably never be able to walk again. This was ad- mitted by Drs. Thomas and Ferberg. The lower part of his body Is bad- ly crushed from the pounding on the rocks he received while under the boat, lt was believed that Mr, Good- win would live several days anyway. There is no ?onger any question that his spine Is oadly injured, which cans -es the paralysis. The wase the doctors expressed it was: - 'We greatly fear that Mr. Good - win's spine is injured and thai the consequent Daralysis of lits lower ab- domen and limbs will not be over- come for a long time," Individually they admitted that the hope held out in thisstatement was pure optimism, for they have not the slightest belief that he will ever be able to appear on the stage again. It was learned that the young wo- man who accompanied Mr. Goodwin and Capt. Albert Hyder,. of the launch Nora, was MISS Marjorie Moreland, leading wonian for Good win's last company. She escaped the accident by remaining on tbe launch when Mr. Goodwin took to the rowboat, STRUCK BY TRAIN • NEW WELLAND INDUSTRY. Pittsburg, Aug, 18.-R. W.
