FRAUD
Chinese Said to Have Entered
North Dakota on Bogus
Certificates.

Neso York. SaIa, Special Servioe
Washington, Jan. 24.-Fraudulent Chi
nese certificates, it is charged, are being
manufactured by Hip Lung & Co. of Chi
cago, by the means of which 1t is believed
large numbers of Chinese have entered
the United States in direct violation Of
law. Evidence was presented to the SEN
ate committee on immigration when two
Chinese, Chan Ling and Lee Sang, ap-
peared before the committee and adj
mitted that they had entered this coun-
try by means Of fraudulent certificates
made by the Chicago concern.
Charles Kee, the interpreter, an en-
ploye of the immigration bureau, described
the methods employed in the manufac-
ture of the spurious certificates He testi-
fed that In 1898 he had made an investi-
cation along the North Dakota border
and had assisted in apprehending III
| Chinese, thirty-six of whom claimed to
be members of the firm of Hip Lung &
Co. Most of them were deported.
Then the two Chinese were put on the
stand and swore they had purchased bogus
return certificates in Hongkong, paying
$439 for one and $40 for the other, both of
which purported to certify the two Chi
nese were merchants of the firm of Hip
Lung & Co. They admitted having
crossed the North Dakota border on these
certificates in 1897 and had lived in this
country ever since.

or later to the effect that parallel and COM

The supreme court has held more than once
that the antitrust law requires the main

law. The form in which this restrain is put

st. Louis, Jan. 24.-Two distinct shocks
in many Of the towns in the immediate
vicinity of the city few minutes before
s O'Clock this morning. The first shock
was light. The second was more severe
and awakened persons who had slept
through the first. The shocks were &C
companied by rumbling sound.
The shocks were very generally felt
throughout the city and suburbs. They
occasioned the rafting of crockery and
swinging of pictures. In Chamberlain
Park the shocks were not severe. In
many houses families gathered in undress
in one room Immediately after the first
shock, but none was sufficiently alarmed
to take to the street.
DR.. Hyatt, the local weather bureau
chief says an acquaintance of his from
Clifton Heights reported that the shocks
there were very severe and several per-
sons went into their yards, fearing the
houses would be shaken down.
The shocks were felt distinctly in the
tri-cities, across the river in Illinois

Menace to Business, Says
Senator Washburn.
PROBLEM A GRAVE ONE
1t Involves the Very Life of Small
Industries.
VIEWS ON LEGS NEW REPORT
Railroad Men Admit Certain Abuses
Exist, but Doubt Efficacy OF
Suggested Remedies.

The people of the United States must
solve the transportation problem of their
country. In this traffic conquest, widely
divergent interests must be opposed and
the Industrial bases of the country must
be shifted like chess figures when the
game is for money and the advantage OF
position.
The report just transmitted to congress
by the interstate commerce commission
has touched the railroad carriers of the
country as no act has ever done since
the creation of the commission. Almost
to man the railroad presidents, direct
ors and managers do not believe in the
interstate commerce body.
To many students Of the railroad prob
lem, government direction seems the
only solution of the tangled web in which
the traffic interests of the country are in
volved.
That rank discrimination exists in
favor of the large shipper, as charged in
the commissions report, railroad men ad-
nit. That these same shippers hold a
club over them and compel them to cut
rates, they avow with equal frankness-
when their names are not to be made
public.
These traffic men believe that the coun-
try, for the sake of it's own business inter-
ests, should not allow the railroads to
weaken themselves by rate wars to con-
dition that means chaos in the industrial
world.
The small shippers and the countless
horde of people who are constantly dis
eliminated against in favor Of the big fish
demand that stop be put to favoritism
In the view of the best traffic experts
of the country to-day, the transportation
problem overshadows all others OF ma
tional import.
They declare that the placing OF tint
rate-making power in the hands of a few
men would demoralize the business inter
ests of every community and plunge al

Senator Washburn stands by the com
mission. Mr.. Day, as thoroughly traine'

Chicago, Jan. 24-What is expected to
ibe the most interesting sessions of the
interstate commerce commission yet held
pearance of J. ]. Hill and E. H. Harri-
man, who are supposed to know all about
the community Of interests" plan of the
railroads, and who are expected to en-
tighten the commission on various pointe
concerning the plan, brought crowd Of
curious people, chiefly traction men, into
court.
1t is the expressed purpose of
the commission to discover whether the
carrying out Of Community Of interests"
has affected the rate situation in way
contrary to law, or, if 1t is likely, as
claimed, for it to bring about stability and
nondiscrim1nation in rates for which the
commission has long contended.
Hill There, Miller Testifies.
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Hartman both reached
Chicago during the morning and Mr.. Hill,
accompanied by Mr.. Grover, his attorney,
came at once before the commission.
Chairman Knapp, being appealed to,
stated that Mr.. Hill would be allowed
to testify at time which would permit
him to take train for New York tonight.
Mr.. Hill would not talk to reporters who
sought an outline of his testimony.
Darius Miller, first vice president and
traffic manager of the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy and former traffic manager
of the Great Northern, was the first wit
ness. In answer to questions by Mr.. Day,
attorney for the commission. MI. Miller
stated that the Burlington was absolutely
independent in sits operations and in the
making of rates."

LAKE ERIE FALLS
When Buffalo Harbor Is Bus
lest the Water Is at
Lowest Stage.

Buffalo, Jan. 24.-According to table
arranged by Major Thomas Nv. Symons.
United States engineer corps, the level
of Lake Erie at Buffalo has been falling
for the last four years. The fall was
gradual until 1900, when it became great
er than in preceding years. Major Symons
has found that the lowest water in the
period Of navigation occurs in the spring
and fall, when the harbor is busiest. He
says the highest water reached in four
years was Nov. 81 1900, when the auto
matte gauge showed plus ga feet. The
lowest water was Dec. 4, 1898 and March
IA, 1901, when minus A. was reached; that
is, reckoning with the mean level Of Lake
