Plavs Poker and Still Lives.

tPASADENA, Nov. 28.-J. NJ. Bland Of
she Railway Firemens Association, who
brought the body Of the fremen killed in
The Needles wreck to Los Angeles. has
been visiting in Pasadena. He was for
merly a conductor on the local electric
railway. Bland owes to a game of poker
the fact that he was not killed instead
Of the friend whose body he brought to
Los Angeles. Bland had been assigned to
4 hreman's position on the eastbound
limited that met the Westbound in the
collision at Franconia, but he applied for
and secured a lay-off he says, for no
other reason than that he desired a lit
tie vacation just at that time. He spent
the evening playing poker. The man who
took his place was killed.

LONDON, Nov. 28.-Sixteen reporters
and six British business men gathered this
afternoon in response to the London
Chamber of Commences general invita-
ton to hear Seymour Bell, the commercial
agent of Great Britain in the United

America wanted from abroad was daily
getting smaller, but that Great Britain
was being cut out of even this small por-
ton of the market by France and Ger
many.
Bell attributed this to Great Britain. s
backwardness in using labor saving and
automatic machinery. He declared the

that their use was essential before Great
Britain could compete with America.
Bell also said there was no doubt that
reciprocity in the United States would
result in the removal or reduction of many
of the duties now enforced, but it would
be in articles in which the United States
was quite safe from foreign competition
Bell said there was a growing need for
tea in the United States. The fact dis
closed that the Ceylon tea merchants had
entered into a pooling arrangement for the
purpose of promoting the sale of their
brands in the United States.
The commercial agent denied the state
ment that American cement was inferior
to Portland cement.
One of the merchants present declared
that American trade was completely GUST
ing British trade from Central and South
America.
Discussing what became of old men in
America Bell said that man over 45
years of age had hard work to get any
position there and that this was one of
the most serious factors in the future
American business life.

being made in New York and exported
in large quantities to South America.

Of these applications have been received,

thus far are for the postmastership az the

The reason why there viii be only three

land is non-taxable. that the ara OF the
