KAIFUNG.
A New Capital with an Old and
Strange History.

From the Chicago Record-Hcrild.
If the empress dowager makes Ka-
fung the capital of China because shc
is afraid 10 return to Peking, she Will
not confer an unprecedented dignity
upon the former city. The province Of
Honan. to which it belongs, was once
the political center ot the empire, the
middle kingdow, whose designation
overspread the whole, and kaitung 1t"
self was the empires capital between
the pears $50 and 1929.
1t lies at a little distance from Vel
low river. which is a constant menace
to it in times of high water. The eX-
pedient Of building dikes to protect
it was adopted many centuries ago,
and a Chinese general who was be.
leagured there opened the iood-gates,
like the Dutch, TO destroy the enemy,
and thus doomed to death, it Is said,
some 300, 600 Of Kaifung's inhabitants.
Probab bly, the number was eXaggerat-
ed, or perhaps the city was so hurt by
the disaster that it was unable to re-
cover its former state. At any rate
It is credited now with population Of
only 100000, though it has remained
provincial capital.
1t has a unique interest in that il has
been the home of the remnant Of the
Jwish colonies in China for the last
three centuries. These people had a
temple there, but 1t had disappeared
when Rev. w. \. p. Martin visited the
place in 1866. All that remained of il
on the spot was tablet which record
ed the building of the synagogue in
1883 and it's rebuilding in l4SS, An en-
trance tablet marked in gilt with the
words "Israels Possession" had been
removed TO a mosque, and thither
some of the colosts had followed il is
worshippers
The Jews at that time numbered be-
tween 800 and 400, but stubborn as is
the race it had succumbed to greater
stubbornness. Though Dr. Martin
says that the face of young man with
whom he conversed was the face ofa
Jew he talked no language but Chinese,
and neither did any of the others,
Hebrew was absolutely unknown to
them Regarding tn disappearance OF
the temple it was explained that the
people We're all very poor and that
they had sold it piecemeal to supply
them with food,
DR.. Williams, the historian of China,
makes "A note of visit of delegation
from the colony to Peking at some
what later date on a search for help
He says that it failed of its object
and adds concerning the Kailung Jews
as a whole
1t is probable that in a few years
their unity will be so destroyed in the
removal of their synagogue that they
will be quite mingled with their coun-
trymen. One or two are now Buddhist
priests, others are literary graduates,
and all of them are ignorant of their
peculiar rites aud festivals.
The continued existence of the colony
speaks we'll for Chinese toleration, but

TO COLLECT BOND.
Poor Boards Solicitor to Proceed to
Collect surcharges Against Ex-
Director Edwin Moon-other Mat
ters of Poor Board Session.

Attorney II. C. Butler, solicitor for
the Carbondale poor district, informed
the directors at their meeting last
night that the shortage. or surcharge
against ex-Director Edwin Moon not
having been paid by him or his bonds
men, he tihe SOLICITOR would proceed
to their collection on the bond held
against Mr.. Moon. There is no ques-
ton in my mind" said Mr.. Butler in
informing the board. that the bond
will be paid. whether through legal
measures or not. 1t is a good bond
a collcotan!e one, and l will proceed
to recover on it,"
The limit fixed by the board for the
settlement of these surcharges has ex-
pired, and this explains the solici-
tors reason for taking the steps to
recover on the bond.
The meeting of the board was the
most uneventful in months.
Mr.. Mcmillan took exception to be-
ing styled the leader of one faction
of the board in the fight over the
doctorship, as The Tribune had re-
ferred to his championing the cause Of
DR.. Bailey. Mr.. Mcmillan did not
deny the fact that he had been cham
pioning, he did not intend any CEN
sure for so referring 10 him, for he
conceded that the Tribune man heard
him do most of the talking with Mr.
McCabe over the doCtOrship contest,
but he said that the other directors,
particularly Mr.. Lynch might think
that he, newcomer, was trying to
run things in the board meetings He
did do a great deal of talking, but it
was all done in the meeting: and he
had had no conferences whatever with
any of the other directors outside of
the board room. 1t was this eXplana-
ton that he wanted to make in order
To disarm any fears of Mr.. Lynch that
he CMcMillan) was trying to be su-
perior though only a newcomer
Mr.. Mcmillan was representative on
this point, for Mr.. Lynch hadn't the
least fear that he was being over
ridden, and so laughingly informed
Mr.. Mcmillan
Mr.. Mcmillan, after repeating that
the reporter had not swerved from
the laws Of truth in his statement, sat
down apparently satisfied.
The bond of John Jones, the newly
elected tax collector was referred to
the solicitor, the board to meet next
Friday To receive his report. This is

CLOVER LEAF COMPANY
and ITS PAY DAYS
company's Employees Will Be Paid
Weekly Hereafter, Though This
Was Not Brought About, Presi-
dent Hendricks Afirms, by Any
Means but of the Company's Own
Volition - Discharged Employees
Reinstated.

The Glover Leaf Manufacturing COM
pany, where the wholesale discharge
of young men employed in the making
of bobbins took place on Wednesday
last because of the demand made by
them, in a petition. for a semi monthly
pay day, is arranging to pay its em-
ployes weekly hereafter.
The new order of disbursing money
among the thirty employees in the
shop will go into effect as soon as
the company can arrange to that eff
feet.
Hon. L. +. Hendricks, president Of
the company, stated to The Tribune
representative yesterday that the COM
pany had in contemplation as many as
three months ago the paying of the
employees, not semi monthly, but
oftener, once week. Pressure of
other matters, however, caused 1t to
he put aside, thouah it was not lost
sight of. AS to any disregard of the
law providing for semi-monthly pay,
it was not wiful on the part of the
company. Hendricks continued. The
fact of the law being on the books was
overlooked or more likely forgotten.
IF it's the law" said Mr.. Hendricks,
then it must be observed and the
company has no wish to evade, and
1t will even do better and will pay the
men every week, as was in mind by
myself several months ago, but was
not made effective because of my be-
ing pre-oCcupied with various other
duties" The deputy factory inspec-
tor, declared Mr.. Hendricks, was noti-
fled yesterday of the company's inten-
ton and purpose after he had called
the company's attention to the law
which had not been observed, though
unwittingly.
AS indicated in The Tribune, it was
not the asking of the semi monthly pay
day, but the way in which it was
done, that ruffled the temper of the
foreman, The word request" had
been erased, it is asserted, and in it's
place demand" was inserted. 1t was
the circumstance chiefly that brought
about the discharge first of the en-
ploye who presented the petition and
of the others later.
The Tribune man was also informed
that a number of the discharged nine-
teen men were already reinstated and
that as many more of the remainder
that the company deemed necessary
would be taken back in the course of
a few days.
Mr.. Hendricks further repudiated the
claim of a Scranton paper that its
editorial references to the matter
brought about a more speedy settle
ment than was contemplated by the
companys officials themselves.
