CALL FOB DIMINUTIoN OF TAXES
Convention at St. Louis Organizes .
Push" for the CuIIom Bill
Woe for congressman.

Indianapolis. Nov. 21.-At the open.
ing session of the Grain Dealers Ma
tional association yesterday morning
12J delegates were present, represent
ing all of the states and territories OF
the United States. Secretary-Treas-
urer Charles S. Clark strongly advo-
Gated the removal of the documentary
tax so far as it affects the farmer and
grain dealer. Legislation on the re-
mOval of the documentary tax, the car
shortage problem. and the reorganiza-
ton Of the association are the princi-
pal subjects to be handled at this
meeting. Upon the first point a COM
mittee consisting of Captain III. 7.
Russell, of Des Moines, Ia, II. S.
Grimes, of Portsmouth, o., and F. L.
Collins, of Cincinnati. was appointed
10 draft a set of resolutions to be
Transmitted TO the ways and means
committee of the next congress with
view of having the documentary tax
removed from all papers concerned in
grain transactions.
Want Their Share of Prosperity.
The resolutions presented set out in
the preamble that the farmers and
grain dealers have not shared equally
with the merchants and manufacture
ers in the general prosperity of the
times, and that grain in process of be-
ing marketed pays an accumulated
tax quite unreasonable and inconsist-
ent with the intended operations of
the law. Further il is set out that
the expenses of the government do
not require the full volume of money
now being derived from the war tax.
and that fn tn
enup should be imposed almost ex-
clusively upon luXurjes and those in
dustries that afford large profits.
Thinks Organization Only Can Win.
In an address delivered by Captain
VI. T. Russell, of Des Moines, the
speaker proposed n plan Of reorgani-
cation, asserting that the only relief
from the evils to which dealers are
now subjected lay in a better and
larger organization. His plan as
outlined in his address is to organize
associations among the grain dealers
in every congressional district Of the
United States. \ president and Sec
rotary are to he elected by each of
these associations, and the former is
oX-ofticio member Of the board of
governors of the state organization.
which he proposes shall be formed
and elect n president and secretary.
The president Of the state Organiza-
tion is TO he 4 member of the govern
ing board of the national association.

egates and committee was appoint

Some Lynching.
Chicago, Nov. PA mob composed
OF men and women defied drawn re-
volvers and fought with twenty police
men last night in an attempt to lynch
Harry Evans, a colored man arrested
on a charge OF assaulting 7-year-old
Freda Guendal. The hundreds of
persons who had gathered around the
home of the little girl. whose death
was feared. were greatly excited when
Evans, who had been captured an
hour before. was brought before his
victim for Identification.
The two officers who had charge of
the negro. after a free use of their
clubs on the maddened crowd. finally
managed to shove Evans into the
house, where the little girl identified
him as her assailant. When the
mob outside learned that Evans had
been identified il became frenzied and
made another rush for Evans. In the
meantime. however. a riot call had
been sent in and a wagon load of
bluecoats appeared on the scene just
in time to prevent the crowd from
overpowering the officers and securing
the negro.

Great Fire is Raging in the
Chinese Capital.
RUSSIANS PRESSING ON
Cars Commander Declares War is
on and Is Striking for the Sacred
Centers- Holding Back
ON the Ground the CeIestiaIs Have
Been Sufficiently Punished.

A Victoria paper of August "a, brought
last night by the Queen, says:
London, Aug. 24-rhe Daily Mail pub -
fishes dispatches from the Chinese capital,
dated as late as August II, declaring a
great fire was then raging in the imperial
CITY. The fires appear to have been started
by the Chinese. The Russian commander
has declined to accept the decision of the
other generals not to violate the imperial
precincts and street fighting was going on.
Gen. Chaffee, it is asserted. maintained
the Chinese had been adequately punished
already, and that it would be unwise to
take the imperial palace. This explains
the withdrawal of the Americans after
breaking through the gates, as cabled BY
the special correspondent of the Associated
Press. The Russian general, however,
maintained that his government hal de-
cleared war against China, and that there
was nothing to prevent him carrying hos
tilites into the sacred precincts. 1t is un>
derstood, however that the commanders
have adopted a middle course and footing
may be prevented.

NEW YORK, July 21.--A despatch
to the Journal and Advertiser from
London says:
Active diplomatic negotiations are
passing between the powers regarding
a coalition against China. England
and the United States foreign offices
are arranging a close accord on the
question of partition. These two gov
ernments probably will declare openly
against it in few days.
Numerous dispatches are passing be-
tween Hay and Salisbury, with the idea
of the two countries forming identical
policies.
When the proposition was made
to allow Japan, owing to her prox-
Unity to the scene of trouble, to land
more than her quota of troops in China
and take the lead in the advance on
Pekin, all the powers agreed to it.
Russia was most hearty in her APP
prevail of the scheme
Then England, between whom and
Japan there exists a secret treaty of
alliance, proposed to the powers that
Japan be given mandatory power to
settle the China difficulty. TO this Rus
STA did object, and objected most siren
uously.
England then appealed to Germany
to use her influence to secure Russia's
consent TO Japanese supremacy In the
operations and settlement Of the out
break.
Germany replied in diplomatic Ian
guage, but with a strong accent that
she would do nothing of the kind
Japan, not being given mandatory
powers. has held back and some even
hint that England is holding her back.
