ASK MILLION FOR -
FAMINE VICTIMS
Missionaries Declare Suffering
Has Been Intense and. Relief
Must Be Given at Once,
Associated Press.
New York. Feb. 13.—The Presby
terian board of foreign missions has'
received from its missionaries in the;
province of Alhui, China, an account
of the famine conditions prevailing 1
there. The missionaries declare that ।
at least a million dollars will he need
ed to tide the suffering provinces'
over till the next harvest time. Crop .
conditions are so bad, they add. that ■
it will take the district several years i
to get back to normal conditions in [
the flooded districts.
The Rev. E. C. Lebensteine. who
made a long tripjof Inspection through
the flooded district around the Hwai
Yuen mission station, writes as fol- 1
lows: 1
"The inhabitants are face to face:
with the worst famine in their history. I
The raiafall last summer was the
greatest which there is any record of l
and the autumn crops were a total i
failure over a regibn of approximate- I
ly 7000 square miles. It is estimated i
that three and a half million persons'
are practically starving, and the death
roll is bound to be very large.
"In order to acquaint myself with
the actual conditions I made two
trips into the famine district. I met
between 200 and 300 refugees each
day. Thousands had already left to
seek support elsewhere, but these had
remained to plant a little wheat so
that they would have something to
return to in the spring. Then they;
left to try to keep body and soul to-1
begging or by such scanty!
work as they could find.
“Only about one-third of thei
amount of wheat planted each autumn'
could be sown this year, owing to the
abject poverty of the inhabitants. It
will, therefore. take them several
years to get over the effects of this
summer's floods, even if they man
age to pull through • alive till the
spring.
“For six months hundreds of thou
sands will be absolutely destitute and
more than 1.01(0.000 persons will be
upon charity.”
MANY DANGERS BESET
IGNORANT IMMIGRANTS
Taking for his topic the work in
the slums. Rev. Oliver Bart Bronson,
who is doing settlement work in New
York city, in the East Side, under the
direction of the Presbyterian board,
gave an interesting talk last night at
St. Mark's Episcopal church upon the
conditions which surround the immi
grant upon his advent into this coun
try. Through their ignorance of the
language and of the currency of the
country they are frequently victims of
confidence men of their own nation
alities. who very frequently victimize
them with counterfeit money, and
practice upon them all kinds of fraud.
Dr. Bronson, who is connected with
Hope chapel in East Fourth street in
the heart of East Side in A district
populated almost entirely by Russian
Jews, and the people of the far east,
described the conditions under which
these people live and work, living in
crowded tenements and working in
sweat shops, where they are robbed
of nioir earnings by the under boss.
I’he children have no place to go but
the streets, and they learn profanity,
obscenity and sin from the time they
are able to lisp.
The schools, declared Dr. Bronson,
do a splendid work for the children,
but through this means they-soon out
grow their parents, and then a new
danger besets them. They soon learn
to discount their parents. During this
process the churches and the settle
ments try to teach the young to ap
preciate what is good in their past
and what is good in their present.

VIRGINIA GIRL WIFE
OF SERVIAN MINISTER
Mrs. Slavlo Grouitch. wife of a Ser
vian diplomat and formerly Mabel
Gordon Dunlop, who has arrived in
America for the first time since her
marriage, twelve years ago. During
her residence abroad, the American
girl has won her way to the first
rank in diplomatic and social circles in '
Servia. She has made a deep study
of conditions in that country, especial
ly those pertaining tn women, and
while in New York she will visit the
school of Applied Designs for Women,
with a view-to founding an institution
to be conducted along the same lines
upon her return.
“In Servia, you know," says Mrs.
Grouitch. "women do most of the
work on the farm, and I mrenrt tn
make an extensive study of modern
agricultural methods during my stay
in this country. The women abroad
also do much embroidery and design
ing work, and I will make a study of
those arts, too.”
Mrs Grouitch is a member of a
prominent Virginia family.

"boozy. " The others were charged
with vagrancy.
The individual who informed the
police that he was minus four silver
dollars, was the first to testify., lie
related how he had meandered do«|u
the street, saw the other trio seated
about a red hot stove in a house and
"list dropped in,” as it were, to get
out of the cold weather. Five minutes
later when he took himself away he
said he found that his four cart
wheels had mysteriously skidooed
from his jeans.
one of the fair damsels in her
statement averred that “she had just
drove up” when the police arrived
at the house. How could she be re
sponsible for the loss of the silver,
she asked the court. She said she
could not see how she could be guilty
under such circumstances. She
certain she didn’t get it. The other
oamsel declared that she didn’t knew
anything about the money. She saw
the gentleman as he stepped in to
warm himself by the fire, but said sin
never moved from her chair. How
could she have gotten the money?
she wanted to know of the court.
The other man in the case was
hardly more than a boy. The money
question was something new to him.
He didn't know the man had any
money, and he didn't get any if he
did have, he said.
“I slings hash in a chop suey joint,
an' just went over there to get an or
der," testified this individual.
Just what became of the money was
indeed a mystery. The testimony, how
ever. bearing directly upon the charges
proved satisfactorily enough and the
women were each sent to Jail for ten
days. The victim of the incident was
soaked for a one dollar fine on his
drunk charge and the case against
the lad was dismissed with a lecture
to the boy and a warning that he had
better get a job "slinging hash" sortie
where else.
IMPORTANT FOREST BILL
I’rovldcs for Acquirement of Land for
Protection of River Sources.
Associated Press.
Washington. Feb. 12.—Friends of
conservation are awaiting with interest
action on the Weeks Appalachian for
est bill, appropriating $11,000,000 for
the acquirement by Uncle Sam of a
large area of wild mountain forest
for the protection of the headwaters
of the river systems of the Atlantic
seaboard and flood prevention.
Such a measure has twice passed
the house. Conservationists regard
the appropriation as the first of any
size in the furtherance of their move
ments. In support of their contention
that millions of dollars have been
lost in floods, they point to the re
port of the United States geological
survey just issued, in which Prof.
L. C. Glenn, of Vanderbilt university,
portrays what will result in the 30,-
000,000 acres of mountain forest and
stream lands unless protective meas
ures are soot/ instituted. He finds as
an outcome of forest denudation in
the higher mountain areas, constant
ly increasing flood dangers, damage to
navigable streams lower down and
growing loss to waterpower develop
ment and supply.
iS OPPOSED ID
PARTITIONS IN CARS
"How can any one pacify ten or.
fifteen wild and frenzied steers crowd- |
ed into one end of a stock car. long;
enough to build a partition?"
This is the question J. D. Jackson I
of Alpine, second vice-president oi i
the Cattle Raisers' association ol
Texas, is going to ask the members'
of the railroad commissioners at Aus-1
tin tomorrow. The commission is con- ।
sidering the proposed ruling of the ‘
railroads that in mixed cars the cat- i
tie shall be separated by partitions. 1
Mr. Jackson was in San Antonio yes
terdy on his way to Austin to argue I
the case with the commissioners. His'
pockets are filled with affidavit.: and;
his head with facts of his own .-ela-l
five to the proposition. He laughs atj
the idea and declares that all prac-1
tical cattlemen do also.
If the railroads insist upon the I
building of the partitions—a thing
which Mr. Jackson declares is practi
cally Impossible—he will insist upon
an alteration of the minimum charges.
Mr. Jackson also intends to appear
before the appropriations committee
and urge the appropriation of more
money for the live stock sanitary com
mission in order that it may extend
its operations. He will also oppose the
Caves amendment before the mining
committee. This amendment permits
only the leasing of certain mines.

Having declined to participate with

tem advances as a reason its belief
that the southwest ought to be colo

"The reason for our action Is that
the traffic is not remunerative,'' says
a circular issued by the managements
of the Katy system, 'after deducting
the items of expense, such as tariffs,
advertising and the loss through
agents' errors in improper sales, there
is practically no margin left to cover,
the cost of handling the business.
"Furthermore, it is our policy to
encourage and promote the movement
of settlers into the southwest, and not,
through the agencies of these low rate
colonist fares from our territory to
other sections."

CATARRH
A SYSTEMIC BLOOD DISEASE
Catarrh is not merely an affection
of the mucous membranes; it is a
deep-seated blood disease in which the
entire circulation and greater part of
the system are involved.. It is more
commonly manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because of the sensi
tive nature of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms of Ca
tarrh, such as a tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, throat clogged
and dry, hacking cough, etc., show
that the tiny blood vessels of the mu
cous membranes are badly congested
and inflamed from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure Catarrh per
manently the blood must be purified
and the system cleansed of all un
nealthy matter. Nothing equals
aS S for this purpose. It attacks
I ■■ 1 ' membranes begin
;c heal, the head is cleared, breathing
jecotues natural alrd easy, the throat
s no longet clogged, and every un
jleasant symptom of the disease dis
ippears. S S S. is the greatest of all
ylood purifiers, and for this reason is
;he most certain cure for Catarrh.

New Hampshire Lawmaker Proposes

Associated PreM.
Concord, N. H„ Feb. 13.—A bill
which will be presented in the New
Hampshire state legislature this year
provides a fine of $lO for ‘each and
every offense of unlawfully breaking
in on a telephone conversation or tak
ing down a receiver and listening to a
conversation between others on the
party line.” The bill has been prepared
at the request of telephone subscrib
ers in the rural districts, where four
and five party telephones are numer
ous. .
"A great deal of trouble has been
caused," said Representative Clark,
'through people listening to telephone
conversations which they knew were
not intended for their ears. Why down
where I live there has been so much
of this telephone listening going on
and then these private conversations
repeated that the section has come to
be called 'tattle point.' ”
