r. = f GONZALES GOES TO (TKA. i Circumsiuices Which JIake Appointf ment Captain Gonzales Peculiarly Appropriate. i Washington, June 13.?Capt. Wil- j # I liam E. Gonzales, editor of the Colum- j bia State, wa^ today nominated by President Wilson as minister from :he ; United States to ih-e Republic of Cuba. This action by the president had been expected for several days, and will b? gratifying news to the friends of Cai\t. Gonzales in South Carolina and else where. The appointment of Capt. Gonzales J hi :o the post ai Havana is peculiarly approyriate. His fath r. the late Am. brose Jose Gonzales was a distin| . guished Cuban patriot; his brother, the late X. G. Gonzales, saw service j with Gen. Gomez's army during the I" war with Spain, and Capt. Gonzales himself commanded a company in the F 2d South Carolina regiment, which! 1 went to Cuba as part of the army of j k pacification. His .Journalistic Record. iCapt. Gonzales has been identified j "with the press of South Carolina for many years. His first newspaper j work was don? as a member of T"no News and Courier's bureau staff. He has been with the Columbia State since the founding of that publication, becoming its editor-in-chief upon the death of his brother some years ago. He has been a consistent supporter of President Wilson ever since the latter's name was mentioned in conneotinn with the chief magistracy, and (is also considered on? of the presitden:s warm personal Iriends I It is not expected rhat the confirmation of Capt. Gonzales's nomination will meet with any opposition, and he will no doubt, be ready in a short while to assume his diplomatic duties.

Harrisonville, Mo., June 12.?Mrs. Arthur Kellar late today confessed that it was she who killed her husband, a railroad laborer, and their daughter, Margaret, 7 years old, last r_Tuesday. K-:llar and the girl were slain with an axe as they lay in their beds. The confession, which was signed (by Mrs. Kellar, brought to a quick termination the coroner's inquest that had "been in s-ession two days in an alttempt to place the responsibility for the murder. The jury returned a verdict holding the woman on a charge of murder. Mrs. Kellar was taken to jail. "God knows I would not have killed them had I known what I was do ing," Mrs. Keiiar saia m ntr coiuession. She declared she had frequently been irresponsible for her actions since she received a blow on the head k two years ago. After telling of the slaying of her husband and daughter, Mrs. Kellar said she picked up the axe and broke ^ a piece off her own bed that sibe might 1 V make it appear that she also had been attacked. Her 5-year-old son is declared to have informed a detective that the H mother told him to say a man had ' - * (come to tne nouse ana Ku.eu uis ia?.uer and sister. George was asleep in another room in the house at the time the crime was committed. A REMARKABLE PEOPLE. Sew Gumeans Shy of Natives and White Jlen. . Dr. Bruno Beheim gives the following description of the mysterious and little known race of the Kukuhuhus, V of New Guinea. The Kukuhuhus are in a part of English territory through which Runs River Jpfikehamu and L , which is situated near the German 1 boundary. This territory is looked upon by the said race as their inalienable birthright, and every usurper is regarded with hostile eyes. Xo European has been able to meet the Kukuhuhus in their dwelling places. "* i * "?- rr* ?; _ I Prosecutors alia t,ngnsn oiiiuais have made repeated attempts to appp :tch them, but tbeir camjis were 'i'.y r. y. or- ii v-'i'r; the campfir-es still burning. Many a tim- have Europeans left 1 presents highly prized by other naI tives, such as corals, red cloth, looking glasses, axes, etc., in the desert-ed camps, in :he hope of establishing friendly relations wun mese peopit". But on returning ;o the same places a few days or a few weeks later, although the camp show d recent traces of occupation, such as live cinders and fresh footprints, the goods intended for presents remained untouched where they had b-:en ploaccd. Other races of New Guinea fear the RUKunu'ilUS as poison. in y nave learned to their cost what it means to cross the boundary. Some disappear for all time, while others are found dead, thrust through with spear wounds. The Kukuhuhus, however, do a bartering trad with orher natives in the following way: The latter bring salt, earthenware, dried fish, etc., and deposit them in a certain indicated place. They then retir? for a few hours being notified to do so by a curious cry from the .distance. The timid mountain dwellers then descend to view the goods offered for sale. If they want them' they put down oth-er goods, such as skins, feathers and other jungle produce, next to those articles wanted by them. Th-n they j retire in turn, and wh-en the way I senilis clear the coast dwellers approach again. If the latter are satis j fied ?vith what is off. red in exchange | they take the goods put down by the niountain people and go away; if not 1 satisfied they retire again as before with empty hands. Th-ese business transactions between wild races show ! a sense of humor that resembles careful thought. Doctor Be'heim regards the Kukuhu I hus as the most remarkable of the ; ethnological wonders of New Guinea, and he was not successful in discovj ering tlie secret of their origin.

That girl babies are not always welcome, even in this day and age, and | that in orher ways both suffragists * ? cc-~ <-?? ? > otill Vinlr? tlio iHPfl I ana anu-suui agists xxv*u of the primitive woman, is the theory of Mrs. Herbert Parsons, widow of a widely known politician and lecturer j of sociology at Barnard, according to the Boston Post. She says even the "coming out" of I :he debutants is a custom not peculiar [to civilization; that husbands and -1- 1 * mnet ctill hp WIVi S, ai in pU'UUV, iuuk;w kj ~ w (as one, and that manv people long be|yond the power of words for children, however much they may conceal the act Girls Not Always Welcome. Mrs. Parsons does not s-eem to think that girl babies are always welcome. " 'I am just as glad to have a girl cis a boy,' says the motner, wno, iroxu piety or sentimentality, thinking she ought to be, or averse, perhaps to j commiseration, fails to realize how j much by her own words she gives 'herself away. 'I suppose you are glad it is a boy,' is another remark judged fitting to the occasion. Do I merely imagine I discern disparagement, concern or mockery in the intonation of 'all girls,' or 'only girls' in reference to a boyless progeny? "One admits to being fanciful in thinkiner of such turns of speech as survivals of female infanticide." The subject of children, their bearing and rearing, is one upon which Mrs. Parsons is particularly eloquent. On the subj ct?of childlessness she writes: "Nowadays, whether husband and wife be responsible, childlessness may still be a cause of polygamy?or polylandry?but outside of Napoleonic l minds it is not a cause for divorce, nor, despite White Hiouse or pulpit endeavor, to revive an archaic point of view, does any social stigma attach to it. "The reason is plain. Children are ? i~~/y/innnmin occpfe pither in , X1U lUIigCJ CV-UUU1U4V ! this world or the next, to their parents. In fact, from a utilitarian standpoint they are too costly to be desirable at all by the individual, and that j they have value from their individua( iistic points of view is a comparatively new ,-dea. State Has Not Awakened. "The idea of th-eir value to the community is much older, but the modern State has as yet acted up to this idea bu: faint heartedly. It has only begun to tnke care of its existent 'future citizen;' to Ii's production it gives little or r.o encou:??ement.

I "Even now therfc are many women and some men, married and unmarri d who, long beyond words for children. Their craving is sometimes a varitable obsession. As their number increases and they become aware of it, taking courage from their soli clarity, they may rebel against those conventions and traditions which thwart the satisfaction of their paramount desire.

June 12.?Andrew Drew' ! pupil of Orville Wright, volplaned to ! death here this evening in a blazing j biplane. Drew was kiled as a result I of a desire to take "just a little joy i ride"?his last words to his partner? in a machine he had not thoroughly j tested. His partner in a local school1 ! of aviation, J. C. Brabazon, had urg! ed him not to make the trip. i He fell 200 feet. He was dead when iBrabazon and several workmen at t j ithe Lima State Hospital pulled his | body from under the wreckage. Drew and Brabazon went out to the 'aviation grounds, about a half mile ! from the State Hospital, during the | afternoon and Drew and his mechanicians set up the machine. It was dusk jwhen they had finished. Drew was j anxious to try out the machine and I urged Brabazon who had made several flights with him, to go along. J | "Let's take just one little joy ride," he laughed, "and then I'll go and eat with you,' said Drew. Brabazon demurred on the ground i that it was getting too dark to fly and | there were no places suitable for a 'good landing. The machine which th>3 | aviator used was t'he one in which I Calvin B.

Timo 19?.President wasuiiigiuu, uuuv Wilson wall visit the aPnama canal zone as soon as congress adjourrs. He told Col. Goethals, chief engineer of the canal, today but did not hazard any guess as to when that might be. Col. Goethals said he expected to turn water into <fhe canal about October 1. President Wilson expects to refrain from any attempt to organize the permanent government of the zone until the canal is practically completed. When he visits the isthmus he will not only make a careful examination of the great waterway as an engineering accomplishment, but probably will take up with Cel. Goethais me general plan of organization of a civil government for the zone. In addition to mechanics to actualy operate the canal, a large clerical force must be maintained on the isthmus to look after the measurements of vessels and the collection of tolls, the purchase of the vagi I quantities of supplies needed for the j enormous fleet of vessels expected to j pass through the waterway annually, as well as material which will be u.sea constantly to maintain the work in condition. Preliminary to the presid: it's visit, Secretary Garrison p:~objably will make a hurried trip to the canal.
