NOT PROPERLY QUOTED.
Miss Burhans' Letter Twisted By a
Reporter.

Mr.. EDITOR Il would like to
make a correction in an article
copied by the ADVERTISER from
Tacoma. In quoting from a purely
personal letter to my sister, the
Tacoma paper has not quoted YER
batim, and has in several instances
changed connection Of words and
meaning. Writing in reference to
the difficulty of securing early re-
port of cases from natives, 1 said :
&" 1t was reported, in one instance,
that the natives were dressing the
man for burial before he was dead. :"
The graphic picture Of newly-dug
grave was not mine. Fortunately
for me it was not stated that the
white people were burying the
native, or / might have been pre-
sented with a feather robe. AS the
letter was private I have no copy of
it, SO make the statement as nearly
as / remember it.
As 1 do not wish to have the
appearance Of exaggeration, or
making false reports even in private
correspondence, you will greatly
oh'ige me by making this state
ment public.
Respectfully yours,
NETTIE BURHANs.

ORIENTAL LUXURY AT HOME

The wonders OF the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
to see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engrossing care is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There is now hardly q fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque In
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure il is the result OF an
inner craving for the beautiful things

Before the enforcement of the

always a busy day IN the emergency

the cases brought in were men in

TO THE TRADE.
Take notice that on and after Monday March 25
the price of cleaned Wellington coal will be SO pei

2240 pounds.
The notice means that the price of coal
| to dealers which Dunsmuir & Sons reduced
80 cents last September, had been restored
''There is no combination to raise the
price of COAL" said John Rosenfeld OF
John Rosenfeld's Sons, one of the largest
! handlers of Wellington coal. at is simply

their desire to increase the price and we
| said all right it simply restores the price
| to what it was before that firm lowered it
AS a consequence retailers now charge theil
customers half dollar more ton for coal
delivered"
| At the office of Dunsmuir & Sons, in the
| absence of the representatives of that firm
| it was stated that the reason for the adj.
| vance was there was no profit in the bust
| ness at prices before the raise, but that
| there was no combination to affect prices
| beyond the Wellington coal.
At the office of Macdonough & Co. it was
| said that this was a result against cut
regard to coal They had cut prices down
so low that there was no money in it, and
now they had come to their senses and put
| the price at living rates. AS yet none OF
the other coal had been affected, but nc
doubt there will be a slight increase in
| that.
Charles R. Allen, a wholesale dealer, in
explaining the situation gave some inter
esting facts about the coal trade. He said
"Senseless competition by both whole
| salers and retailers brought down the bust
ness to such a state that there was actrl-
ally nothing in it; the wholesalers could
not make collections from the retailers,
who showed that they could not get money
| from their customers, and the result was
that every now and then the wholesalers
were forced to hold an inquest on some re-
taller. Some turned in lists of debts
amounting to $500 which were not worth
! $50. So the wholesalers to protect them
selves fixed the price so as to give the re-
| tailers so cents more margin on ton.
1.-THE retailers buy long ton (2240
| pounds) for IS and sell it for $40, which
| gives an apparent profit of 81, but there is
| this to be taken into account. The re-
| taller has to pay an average of so cents
| carriage to his yard on every ton. Is cents
| for screening and sacking-and the screen
| ings are dead loss to him. Then it costs
| him on an average 81 ton to deliver it TO
customers-that makes So rs. But while
he buys long ton, he sells it by the short
ton (2oOO pounds), and if he sells at $40 he
has Is cents and 240 pounds of coal with
which to pay rent and living expenses.
Some of the dealers have been selling coal
almost as cheap as the wholesalers, and it
is no wonder they had to 60 under
"Some dealers sell by the ton to in
dividuals who have to pay for carriage and
for sacking if desired, as the teamsters
dump it in bulk on the sidewalk. The
charge for final deposit is matter between
teamster and purchaser"

NEW YORK, n. Y, March 26. "A
special to the Press from Washington

In a private cablegram from Toxic, re-
ceived by member of the japanese lega-
ton here, is news of worldwide interest.
According to this dispatch, which comes
from the highest officials in Japan, a
German physician, who is president
of the University of Toxic, an expert of
high standing, was sent yesterday, at the
personal request OF the Mikado, to examine
Ii Hung Changes wounds. After thor

extracting, is apparently beyond reach

TORTURE OF A WIFE.
BRUTALITY AND IGNORANCE

WATERFORD, IRELAND, March 20.-A
most extraordinary case of murder arising
from superstition was inquired into to-day
by the Special Court of Clonmel, twenty.
five miles from here. Ten persons were
arraigned before the court charged with
numbering Mrs. Cleary. The prisoners
included the murdered woman's husband
and father, and the evidence showed that
she was suffering from nervousness and
bronchitis, and her husband, believing hel
to be bewitched, obtained a concoction
from herbist of the neighboorhood.
While the other prisoners held the I'M
fortunate woman in bed he forced the
connection down her throat. After this
the suffering woman was held over fire
aud dreadfully burned until she declared
that she was not CIeary's wife.
This torture was repeated on the follow
ing day, after which he knocked her down
stripped off her clothing, poured paraffine
over her body, then lighted it and the
woman burned to death in the presence OF
six male and two female relatives.
Cleary declared that he was not burning
his wife, but that he was burning a witch.
and that she would disappear up the chin
ney. The husband collected the charred
remains and buried them. The prisoners,
who were remanded, narrowly escaped
lynching and had to be removed to Jail
under the escort of strong force of con.
stables

Count William, and by Count and Count

of the household who had witnessed the
presentation. When his Majesty voted
three cheers for Prince Bismarck at the
conclusion it was responded to unani-

Emperor then, amid renewed cheers,
grasped Prince Bismarck's hand.
His Majesty afterward entered the
schloss and lunched with Prince Bis

host with seal from the writing-table OF

Emperor William, in proposing Prince
Bismarcks health after the luncheon. re-
ferred to the services which the latter had
rendered to William I. Prince Bismarck
replied, saying that since 1913 he had only
done his duty and nothing more. AS for
added, he could only deplore the lack of
national sentiment thereby displayed.
The Empress of Germany commissioned
the Crown Prince to present to Prince Bis
marck beautiful basket of roses and a
latter of congratulations The Crown
Prince handed the gift to Prince Bismarck

peror was escorted to his saloon carriage
by General Count Won Waldersee. Before
he departed he had an earnest conversation

At the last moment Prince Bismarck ap-
| peared on the platform in order to take
final leave of the Emperor, and cheers
were raised and continued long after the

citation Means to Do.
There is a good deal of what is known as
"ginger" in the Manufacturers Associa-
ton which has been put into active fer
ment by the recent meeting. The associa-
ton is anxious to be recognized and is be-
ing recognized as a State affair.
The following officers have been elected
by the association for the ensuing year,
and they are already preparing for an
active campaign: President, H. T. Scott
vice presidents-Louis Saroni, w. F. Bow
ers and J. Mills Davies; treasurer, Andrea
Sbarboro; secretary, Lewis R. Mead; ex-
ecutive committee-R. s. Moore James
Sproule, Julian Sonntag, NJ. McGlynn
and Louis Saroni.
The membership of the association is
rapidly increasing, both in this city and in
other parts of the State.
Secretary Mead has been authorized to
employ an assistant secretary.
The $500 on hand has been turned over
to Treasurer Sbarboro, and will be devoted
to paying for the printing of the proceed
ings of the late convention.
AS soon as the finances of the association
are In proper shape, permanent office will
be opened, and competent man will be
employed to visit the various cities of the
State to present the advantages and de-
STABILITY of cooperation and united effort
Tor the general good, as the. membership
cannot be augmented too rapidly.
}. M. Davies of Los Angeles, who was
present at the meeting of the board. spoke
very earnestly in advocacy of widening the
scope of the association and removing the
notion at the extremities of the State that
the association is a local one. He said
that Los Angeles was heartily with the
association in spirit, feeling the need of
cooperation with any body organized for
that the Manufacturers Association would
do great things for the State.
The next meeting will be held on Friday
at the Chamber of Commerce and the
executive committee will at that time
make full report, with recommendations
for immediate action.
