mercial Cub held banquet last night at
the Nlrrsg4rsett House st which 100
members and guests sat down. The
chiefly distinguished guests of the even
pg were Hon. r. Q Mills Of Texas,
chsirman Of the House WAYS and

Breckenridge Of Kentucky Of the same
committee, who discussed tariff reform,
Representative Mills addressed his re-
msIks Chic fY to the wool and Gotten
manufacturing, IS representing the chief
industries Of this State, and spoke gorge
Dusty for an hour urging free raw mate
rails, as in tee best interests OF the maa-
ufac urer, the lsborer, the consumer and
the nation. He assured his audience that
they need not be alarmed lest If
ne raw material went on the
free list, the manufacturing product
would have to go too. On the other hand
the same vote that would put raw wool
on the free list would keep the mspu-
Pictured product from beirg plscsd
there. He reviewed the history of the
tariff from the h:st prohioitory set
1924 to the present day to show that me
price Of wool has gone down when 1t was
protected and up when Il Was free.
Said he: "Cne wool last yesr brought
into this country was 265, 1000, 600 pounds
of Manufactured wooden goods. Count
ing four pounds Of raw material to one 81
the manufactured product, that so, 600 coo
pounds represents 820,o00,e00 pounds OF
raw material that WAS made up abr 80

II has recently come to the knowledge
of Amsricen capitalists and promoters
that tnsle is systematic and carefully
planned buresu of blackmail In ex!steace
in L )ndou, the workings OF which sre
concealed from the public, but
which have proven thorn in the
side Ct numerous American enter
ortses. S lar as known, the head OF the
bureau Is Z man who moves N fair bust
ness and sC 81 circles IL London and has
il e .euce IN two or Tnree newspaper
Offices, including "f lancisl" paper. He
has i number OF cores JUndenls on this
side of the Wster, where he formerly
lived for q number of years. They keep
him informed &s to Americans who go
abroad TO rase money for the promotion
Of enterprises Of various kinds. The

have the courage to DO that.
A shreWd American promoter who told
of these things from experience, added
this sdvice: "The best way to be rid OF

Yesterday We visited the Cbe-helen's

in the morning some friend CT his gave

friend, however, was detected in his mer-
ciiul ministrS;ioDs by the authorities,
thsra Is no doubt that he would be pun

similar cage.
II would seem that the yamen people
made no provision for providing the pTjs
Oner while in the csge with any kidd Of
food, and thLt they also direct DIRE
threats against anyone who might give
him any. The man is described as s. des-
perate thief, and hiss been in prison ten
years. His last ofeuse was stripping
prisoners of their clothes and steal
ing everything else Of the little
that these wretched beings possessed
His legs sre weighed down with
heavy chains, and, altogether, his tortures
in the horrible contrivsnce cave strong
contradiction to the belief that the
Chinese are becoming more humane OF
their Judicial system. In no other coun'
try of the world Boosting of any sort OF
civilization would such thing be toler-
ated, snd the worst festure OF it Is thai
the people generally applaud the cruelty
of the Cae.hein and haVe no sympathy fol
the unfortunate man. Our impression
was thai they were very much disspp9int
ed that the stone was given to him. ST.
though they made no attempt to remove
It while we were there, ana they also de-
nouncet the humanity Of the man who
fed him.
