Pacific officials working in conjunc
tion with Koolbergen, who caused
stories to bo inserted in the Canadian
papers telling of the destruction of
important tunnels by mysterious acci
dents.
The affidavit also declared that
George Wllhelm Von Brincken, Bopp's
assistant in the San Francisco consul
ate, worked out all the details of the
plot and that he and Bopp went over
maps of the Canadian Pacific railway
with Koolbergen in the consulate and
directed the latter -where to blow up
the tunnels where they would inter
fere most with the transportation of
munitions of war. The affidavit states
also that Koolbergen was instructed
to steal the dynamite for these plans
from certain construction camps on
tiie Canadian Pacific, the location of
which was outlined to him by Bopp
and Brincken.

who nro charged by Van Koolbergen
with having paid him "money when the
latter deceived them into believing
that he had blown up a tunnel in Can
ada, issued a statement to-day In
which he vigorously denied the truth
of Van Koolbergen's story.
He termed the indictment of T 'on
Brincken as "nothing short of an out
rage upon Lieutenant Von Brincken.
Nothing but a speedy and complete
1 indication can result from a test of
this charge," he added.
McGomun in his statement, referred
to Van Koolbergen as "an adventurer
and a British spy."

Darkens Beautifully and Restores

Common garden sage brewed into a.
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant; remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Mixing the Saga Tea and Sulphur re
cipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get the ready-to
iifce tonic, costing about 50 cents a
large bottle, at drug stores, known as
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound," thus avoiding a lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, ladort liair is not
sinful, we all d%««ire to retain our
youthful appear.- .ce acd attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulpaur, no one can
tell, because It does it so uaturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared. Alter an
other application or two your hair be
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
