UTILE WITH
Artist Living Man-Ape Life
in tne Maine Woods to
Prove a Theory.
"MODERN METHODS OF
LIFE UNNECESSARY"
BOSTON Mass. Aug. 25 Joseph
Knowles formerly a Maine guide
but more recently a Boston artist
who on Aug. 4 stripped himself naked
and before a body of eminent New
Yoik friends and physicians plunged
into the virgin forest north of Spencer
Maine to undertake an experiment
never before attempted by civilized
man is making good on his effort to
show the world that he can go into
the forest for two months without
"Nothing and ccme out in good health.
JOS. KNOW LES THE C S. MAX"
Stripping on the Eflce of Forest to Live
Tito Months Nude In the "Woods
of Northern Maine.
He says v. hen he emerges that while
he will not wear the clothing of civi-
lisation he will be well enough garbed
to appear on arty city street
The news came today that Knowles
had killed a bear and jiad successfully
fought off a wildcat although he did
not succeed in killing the latter ani-
mal. The idea of the guide is to prove
that man can live today as primitive
man lived without clothes fire fire-
arms or anything more than what
nature provides in the -forest or jungle.
It is one of the most unique experi-
ments ever undertaken.
Took Nothing A? IthTHtm.
When Knowles entered tne- woods he
took with him absolutely nothing. No
weapon no food not an atom of cloth-
ing not even a pinch of salt and
those -who believe he can live without
everything else question as to whether
he can exist without salt. He "plans to
live on berries frogs fish that he will
catch without line or hook and small
same that he will kill with self made
weapons. He will start his first camp
fire by friction using a method known
only to himself. This fire he will keep
going continuously for two months.
Knowles will garb himself from the
animals skins he intends to kill.
He "will trap animals by using the
"deadfall." a deviee known to all trap-
pers. He will catch fish by wading Into
shallow water and driving them into a
self made dam.
Before entering the woods Knowles
was examined by Dr. Sargent of Har-
vard and pronounced physically per-
fect. Dr. Sargent says that if any man
can be successful in the experiment it
is Knowles.
In Grcnt Dancer.
The indian guides that live in the
camps that border the vast wilderness
where Knowles is today living his
rran-ape existence are even more
anxious about the artist than the
thousands of city residents who have
been watching for news from the port-
rait painter. They tell grim tales of
"what has happened to hunters lost in
the wilderness and starving after their
ammunition has given out. But here
is Knowles his bodv softened from
years in the city without manual la-
bor doing from choice something that
has never before been attempted by
civilized man. The magnitude of
Knowles undertaking can not be ap-
preciated by those accutsomed to lux-
ury most such people scoff at his
plan and say there "is something be-
hind it" that he will never be able to
live out his two months alone and un-
protected. The old Maine guides how-
ever know better than the city man
the great test he has etsablished for
hlmslf. They know what a naked man
must endure from mosquitoes and
black flies and all the other flying and
creeping things; they know too what
danger a severe rainstorm mipht bring:
they know of the terrible craving that
men lost In the woods have had for
salt.
Knowles before he started said in
an Interview: "This isn't by any means
a freak experiment of mine. Tm going
Into it seriously as a scientific trial. I
am going to show that it man oniy
am going 10 snow mat 11 man oniy 1
knows h5w and I believe I do know
- uJ -n-T-avt hie iidnr from '
how he can wrest his living from
nature without any of the conventions
of modern life to help him."
"Writes on IJarfc.
Reports of his experiences are "writ-
ten with charcoal on bark at an ap-
pointed spot In the forest known only
to himself and one Maine guide whom
he does no know nor has ever seen
ss: -V .ttiffl? &?&
fmde the message without seeing
Knowles. Sunday he brought in the
first message. In this manner the pub-
lic will be able to obtain reports of
what Knowles is doing and how he is
getting along. Knowles agreed that If
injury should befall him he would
come out into the open and apply for
aid.

PLANS TO REVEAL
"FIENDISH CRIME"
N
EW YORK. Aug. 25. The indict
ment of Chas. F. Murphy leader
of Tammany Hall Aaron J. Levy
leader of the Democratic majority in
the assembly and James Frawley
chairman of the vommlttee which In-
vestigated governer Suizer's campaign
contributions has been requested of
the district attorneys of New York and
Albany counties by Lynn J. Arnold
of Albany an ardent Sulzer supporter.
The indictment of the three leaders
is asked on statements of many per-
sons presented by judge Arnold to the
district attorneys regarding an alleged
conspiracy to put Sulzer out of the gov-
ernor's chair. In so announcing judge
Arnold repeated his declaration that
money had been freely used to accom-
plish this result.
Not a Square Deal He Says.
Judge Arnold who Is publisher of the
Knickerbocker-Press of Albany said
today.
"My newspaper has been friendly to
Sulzer in this fight bocause we thought
he was not getting a square deal. Be-
cause of this friendliness many per-
sons have written to us -and called at
our office to tell us what they know of
a plot on the part of certain men whom
I cannot name now to disgrace Sulzer
and put him out of the governor
chair.
"This evidence has been placed be-
fore competent lawyers and they be-
lieve with me that it Is sufficient to
warrant indictments in connection "with
impeachment proceedings. As an in-
stance of the number of men who are
ready to testify. I will say that 10 men
came to our office Saturday afternoon
with evidence relating to this plot. "We
believe that it is amply strong to war-
rant the indictment of Murphy Levy
and Frawley and others. I cannot say
how many others now nor can I tell 1
the nature of the charges
Plot Against Sulzer.
"They go to show however that
there was a consniracv and a. nlot
o7.i- - - 1-t .
ffInft Sulzer. More than that they
tend to prove a fiendish crime far
greater than that. I cannot say now
in the present unsettled state of af-
fairs what this crime is. Suffice it to
say that it was fiendish nothing short
of it.
"This evidence in part is already in
the hands of district attorney "Whit-
man and the district attorney of Albany
county. They are considering it. "What

SUFFRAGETS AGREE ON
A TRUCE IN ENGLAND
L
0ND0N ENG. Aug. 25. Rumors which have been current of a truce between
the militant suffragets and the British government seem to find support
in a letter written today by Mrs. Pankhurst to her followers advising them
to take a holiday for the present. She
"I am gathering up strength for a
over. I hope that everyone of you also
political activity to take the rest and change you all so richly deserve."
Another indication that an agreement has been reached is the cessation by
the authorities of the enforcement of the "cat and mouse" act. Out of 43 suffra-
gets sentenced to imprisonment for various offences only one is now in jaiL
It is widely believed that Mrs. Pankhurst has at least agreed to a truce in
order to strengthen the hands of those members ot the British cabinet who are
working to make the enfranchisement of woman a government measure.
Rosalie's Call Saves
Pet From the
Catcher's- Lariat
At the front gate stood a little
curly haired girl tear-dlmmed and af-
frighted. Far down the street came
her pet colly dog fleeing the whirl-
ing lariat of the dog catcher.
"H-e-re Colly h-e-r-e Colly!" she
called in broken tones while she
watched with animated breath the dog
speed for his home and protection. On
and on they came the dog and the
dog catcher. At last with a final burst
of speed the dog darted into his mis
tress's yard just as the loop of the
lariat whizzed past his head. Dojr and
mistress ran Into the house.
'I knew Colly would outrun that
horrid dog catcher If I stood at the
gate calling him" said his mistress
little Rosalie Graves 618 Aurora street
to a Herald reporter who had wit-
nessed the dog's efforts to gain his
mistress's side.
Dog catchers invaded the dog-paradisical
hills of Highland Park Sat-
urday much to the woe of the wan-
dering homeless canine. Sundry yelps
were heard echoing through the hills
and canyons' of the suburb as a luck-
less one felt the tightening noose of
a canine lariat in the hands of a fleet
footed Mexican. Due to the number of
complaints being made in that vicinity
of late of strange dogs biting chil- j
dren the dog catchers mate a wide
detour of the neighborhod.

Work of a "Spook"
Masters Colo Aug. 25. The dis-
agreeable habit ot a woman "spook"
who insisted upon borrowing jewelry
annoyed Miss Margaret Bennington so
greatly for tne last ten days that last
night she insisted that sheriff McAfee
arrest -the shade.
Miss Pennington declared that the
immaterial person took her material
decorations kept them a couple of days
and then returned them. She always
returned the property but not1 always
before Miss Pennington had missed it.
Miss Pennington's sister corroborated
the story. The two women had hidden
jewelry to cheat the spook but she
always found It.
Sheriff McAfee after a sleepless vigil
at the Pennington home Saturday night
came upon the spook moving down the
stairs. He turned a searchlight on the
spook and saw Miss Julia Pennington
sleepwalking. The sheriff followed her
saw her hide a piece of her sister's
jewelry and allowed her to return to
her bedroom still asleep. Then he left
a note for the Pennington sisters and
went sleepily homeward.

respectively en route from Los An-

listened to that tune Sunday afternoon
in a joint in Juarez. They left the
place minus eight $10 American Ex-
press travelers' checks three similar
checks for $30 and $23 in cash.
This "was the New xorKers' first trip
to El Paso and having heard so much
about the little revolutionary town
they made the trip across the river.
Theln train halted here just long
enough.
Near the Guadalupe church they "ac-
cidently" met up with a younjg man
just about their own age. He was
also a stranger so he said but had
been in Juarez before. He Kindly of-
fered to show them the points of inter-
est. The last place shown was the joint
located in the one story adobe build-
ings just south of the church.
Had Xot Expected to Gamble.
The boys told police chief I. N. Davis
that they had no Intention of gambling
but there was a man standing near
the "knock down pin" game who com-
plained he was unlucky and asked the
boys to knock down the pins. James
"was the elder and so when the boys
left home he was given the money and
the checks to carry. He successfully
'performed his mission until he went
to Juarez. The pins used in the game
are small and square. There are num-
bers on each one of the sides. The
number up after they have fallen is
the one that counts. However it is so
arranged that the exposed number nev-
er wins anything. After parting with
the checks and cash the boys returned
to this side and told the police and de-
tectives all about it. They left Sunday
night. The detectives are- still trying
to recover the lost checks.

House and Senate Commit-
tees to Discuss Message on
Policy of United States.
ACTION IS AIDED
BY FOREIGN POWERS
WASHINGTON D. C. Aug. 25.
.President Wilson " made it
-plain today that " unless
there was a change in the
attitude of the Huerta government
within the next 24 hours he would
carry out his intention to personally
read to congress tomorrow a message
outlining the poncy of the United
States toward Mexico. He will discuss
the message tonight at the white house
with the entire senate foreisil relations
committee and the house foreign af-
fairs committee outlining the sugges-
tions for the elimination of Huerta
and the establishment of a legally con-
stituted administration.
The message is couched In very kind
terms because the president feels that
the world generally ought to recog-
nize that the situation in Mexico is ab-.
normal being controled by a smalt
group of men. That circumstance the
president believes ought not to ob-
scure the real feeling of the United
States toward Mexicans which is one
of generous friendship.
Powers Are Pre"iinjr Huerta.
That foreign powers generally are
exercising their good offices in Mexico
City pressing Huerta to yeld to the
American proposals now is openly ad-
mitted bv administration officials.
"When questioned today whether such
participation by European governments
in the policies of the western hemis-
phere was considered an Infringement
on the Monroe doctrine it was pointed
out by administration officials that the
United States did not construe an act
of friendship as impairing at any
time the Monroe doctrine.
It was pointed out also that the
activities of foreign governments was
not due to any request by the United
States for assistance but that this
government had decided on a policy of
keeping the nations of the world gen-
erally informed of the steps being
taken to bring about peace.
Central America Cooperates.
Besides Great Britain and France
practically all the Central and South-
ern American countries are lending
their support to the efforts of the
United States to bring about a peaceful
settlement of the Mexican revolution.
That the United States is backed by
x world-wide sentiment in its peace
policy is conceded in diplomatic circles.

The execution near Mexico City of

Jie planned to assassinate president Jdu-

It was reported that between $100-

on the trains being shipped to the
military authorities in Chihuahua City
to pay the soldiers and meet other ex-
penses. High Premium for Cars.
Merchants bid as high as $299 for
cars in which to send merchandise to
Chihuahua City and this much was
