TROOPERS MADE A HIT DJID LOIS Of HI During a reeent trip of this kind J by a representative <»f the Atchison, j Topeka and Santa Fee Hallway Company, arrangements were made for I the purchase of tle.s, not only In the Hawaiian Islands but also In Japan. It is stated that ties from Japan will : be made from a certain species of! oak which compares in lasting qualities very favorably with the white oak of this country which has been considered the most satisfactory wood for tie purposes. About a > year ago, before the representative j <»f the railroad had started on his • trip, the United States Forest Her- ' vice made a few tests on the ohio wood. The result Indicated that, in point of strength, ohio wood will rank with the oaks. It was thought from i he so teFts that the wood was worthily of further Investigation, and the large order placed by the railroad Indicates that their agent la contldent that Hawaiian wood will prove to be satisfactory material for railroad ties under tho conditions existing in this country. It has been difficult of some of the railroads of this country to obtain wooden ties satisfactory both in quantity and quality and many of them have been looking about for an opportunity to purchase tie timber In other countries. WAsrflNOTON, D. C\ Jan. 2 — A striking Instance of the scarcity of timber suitable for railroad tics in the United Staten is hccii In the rerent purchase of tlie Atchison, Topeka anil Santa l«Ve Hallway Company of 2,800.000 ties of ohlo wood from a lumber company operating In the Hawaiian Islands. Near the body was a newspaper. The authorities concluded that the murder was committed while Lehmann was reading. It is suspected that the motive was robbery, but owing to the fact that the victim had never taken anyone into his confidence in regard to his business or financial affairs it has been found impossible to definitely determine the cause of the tragedy. The dead man's papers and correspondence were found apparently untouched. Lehmann's landlord having seen nothing of his lodger for more than a week reported the matter t«> the police, fearing that something was wrong. The door was broken open and Lehmann's body was discovered in a pool of blood. Nearby was an overturned chair. The dead man's skull and jaw were battered, and he had a bullet wound In his cheek, besides deep gashes. In his face and neck. The walls were bespattered with blood, and everything indicated that a terrible struggle had taken place. Herr Lehman, the victim, was a bachelor of considerable means, who in addition to other speculations lent money at low rates of inteerst to small tradesmen. He lived alone in a Hat, did his own cooking, and was very reserved in his ways. He had lived in London several years, spoke fluent English and was well known to the American and English colony in Berlin. Spccial to The Spirit. BERLIN, Jan. II. — More than a score of dues have been followed up by the Berlin police in connection , with the mysterious murder of Ilcrr Max Lehman, but none of them has proved successful.

The deputy sheriff had a persaonal acquaintance with the murderer at the time of the commission of the crime the latter having been a driver of a garbage wagon while Mr. Sabate was acting marshal of St. Augustine. For that reason much hinged upon his identification by him as the local authorities had followed a meagre thread In making the arrest.
