A CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—Charging
: that a primary campaign manager
for the U. S. attorney at Seattle.
Washington, had filed a fraudulent
ticket of pretended LaFollette elec-
tors, one of which bears a name
listed in the Seattle city directory
— as that of a stenographer employed
9 by the U. S. attorney, John E. Bal-
laine, LaFollette manager in the
state of Washington, today ap-
pealed to the U. S. attorney general.
This information was received by
1 Representative John N. Nelson, na-
1 tional manager for LaFollette, to a
copy of a telegram sent by Ballaine
to. Attorney General Stone. The
message named Thomas M. Cun-
mingham, identified ae U. 8. Attor.

I Hew Rubber is Grown.
But come with ms for a ride over
the Basilan plantation and see for
yourself just how rubber is grown.
Mr. Blum has come down to the
wharf with his motor truck and will
act as our guide. We shoot out of
Isabels over a red dirt road as
smooth as a floor, and wind our
way through several miles of the
plantation, great coconut groves ■lin-
ing the road on one side and rubber
groves on the other. . The trees are,
laid out in regular order, and in all
directions the rows of coconut or
rubber extend on and on. Now a

The coconut trees are numbered by
tens of thousands. They are thirty
feet apart, and are now yielding
something like three million coco-
nuts every year. As we rids we can
see the Moros and Yakans walking
among the trees with poles thirty
or forty feet long. At the end of
each pole to a knife which they
prose against the ripe nuts high
overhead, and the big green balls
fall to the ground. Other men are
gathering the fallen nuts into carts,
which the great humped bullocks
of India are dragging to the mill
where they will be turned Into

Now let us lech at the rubber for-

Some of them are fifty feet high.

sap or latexdrops into the cup. The
cup is about the size of a wine glass,
or perhaps one-third the size of a
beer bettle. Indeed, many of the
cups are of beer bottles broken off
two thirds down from the top. These
bottles were brought la during the
world war when the conditions were
each that there were no pottery cups
to be had in the market.
We leave the car and Mr. Flam
taker us to one of the trees, where
a little long-haired Yakan scars the
bark for us. Me does this with a
chisel made for the purpose,” and
as the knife runs along the tree the
milk, as white as that fresh from
the cow, flows out and drops Into
the cup. It comes drop by drop,
only about a half cupful running
out in a day. The yield varies ace
cording to the tree and its age, but
there are some trees which yield as
much as twenty-el* ‘pounds In one
year. The average is around seven
pounds of rubber per tree.
There are ninety thousand trees
on the plantation, and meet of these
are now yielding rubber. The milk
must be collected each day, and men
go from tree to tree with two or
three gallon buckets, lift, up the
cups and pour the milk in. When in
the bucket the milk looks for ell the
world like cow’s milk.

We return to the truck and ride
on to the factory, where the rubber
milk we have seen is turned into
the rubber of commerce. I can de-
scribe this part of the business boat
by comparing it with a sanitary
dairy where the greatest of care is
taken to keep the milk clean. The
dairy is assreat shed roofed with
galvanised iron and floored with
concrete and tiles. Scattered here

tables with tops of white porcelain
tiles fitted together as closely as
those of your bathroom, and as
beautifully clean as any porcelain
equipped kitchen. These are the
tables for cutting the rubber cheese
which we shall eoe lator on. Among
these tables are vats about three
feet wide, four feet long, and per-
haps two fet deep. They have bases
of concrete and are lined with these
same tiles of white porcelain. It to
