the House.

sTURBRIDGE. Mass. March 2s.--Mrs.
Peter Burke in the little hamlet Of Fiek-
dale. after cutting off every means Of es-
cape by fastening windows pnd doors,
crushed in the heads OF her four children
today, threw their bodies into a closet,
scattered oil over them and herself end
then, after setting all on fire, cut her own
throat.
The victims were Lila, aged G, William,
5: Louise, ~. and May Rose, months.
But for the accidental discovery of the
fire the deed might have been hidden for
ever by the destruction of the house. Two
boys happened to be passing when they
saw smoke coming from a window. They
burst in the doors and tried first to put the
fire out with buckets Of water. but IL gained
on them so fast that they were obliged 10
run for help. The neighbors prevented the
flames from reaching above the first floor.
Up to that time no one knew Of the
tragedy. But some one noticed that a
closet door which seemed to be more
charred than the rest OF the woodwork was
open and glancing inside, a blackened mass
was seen. In this heap were the bodies Of
Mrs Burke and her four children.

March 23.-over the length and breadth of

DISORDER IN SOUTH CHINA
Chiefly Due to Bands of Brigands
Operating in That Section
of Empire.

PARIS, March 23.-It is said at the For
egn office here that recent offcial reports
show there is a growing state Of disorder
in South China, particularly along the bor-
der of French Indo-China, chiefly due to
the operations of bands of Chinese brig
ands
Although the French authorities have not
yet taken definite action, the officials here
confirm the reports from Shanghai to the
effect that a continuous disorder will un-
doubtedly lead to the sending of French
troops across the border to suppress the
brigands and insure protection of French
interests.
The Foreign Office has no information re-
garding the report that the French COM
mander at Tien Tsin has demanded $1,000,
900 compensation and new barracks before
he will evacuate the arsenal there. 1t is
said that such a request would necessarily
be made through the French minister at
Pekin. who has not asked for authority 10

DECIDE WOOD PULP CASES
Appraisers Declare Extra Duty IL
Proper on Quebec, but Unjust
on Ontario Product.

NEW YORK, March 2s.-The board Of
classification of the United States general
appraisers today decided the Canadian
wood pulp case. which has attracted wide
spread attention.
There were two protestants in the case,
F. w. Meyers & Co.. acting for Hollings-
worth, Whitney & Co., OF Boston, and the
Sault Ste. Marie Pulp and Paper company
of Michigan.
Two distinct questions were presented to
the board. One related TO pulp imported
from Quebec and the other to pulp from
Ontario. In each case the pulp is made
from wood cut on 'crown lands" Under
the law of Quebec the commissioner of
crown lands is authorized to grant licenses
to cut timber on the public domain, sub
tect to the payment Of tax, a rebate
being allowed on timber manufactured into
paper pulp in Canada.
The United States customs oficials levied
an additional duty equal to the rebate al
lowed. The board Of classification now
overrules the protest relating to the pulp
from Quebec and the action Of the collector
Is sustained.
Precisely the sarEss 3ditional duty had
been imposed upon the pulp from Ontario.
Under the law Of that province, however,
no one is permitted to cut pulp wood on
crown lands, unless 1t is to be manufac-
tured In Canada. AS regards importations
from Ontario, the board holds that the
province Of Ontario 'Tevies no export duty
upon wood pulp exported from its limits
and therefore the additional duty was i'm
properly assessed"
An appeal to the federal courts prob
ably will be taken.

BLOW AT JoBBINe INTERESTS
so-CalIed Pure-Food Bills in Legisln-
ture Regarded as
Menace.

Omaha and other jobbers and manutao-
turers of the state are just waking up to
the fact that the pure food bills that are
being urged in the Legislature are not an
unmixed blessing. In many respects these
bills are an actual menace in the eyes OF
the dealers who will be affected by them.
One Of the leading Omaha jobbers, speak
ing OF Senate Files SO and SO, the pure
food bills, says:
1--WE are strongly in favor OF national
pure food law. as by a national law only
can the manufacturing and mercantile In
terests Of the United States be placed upon
an equal basis. II a pure food bill is
passed by both houses Of the Nebraska
legislature and becomes law 1t VIII place
a restriction upon the manufacturers ana
dealers of this state, both wholesale and
retail, making 1t necessary to mark prod
ucts and articles of merchandise in such
q manner as to render them unstable to
dealers and consumers outside the state
thereby depriving manufacturers and job
bers of very large trade which they now
enjoy. Situated as we are in the western
country, where manufacturing interests are
comparatively small the requirements Of
this law would tend, not only to discour-
age new manufacturers from coming In,
but to cripple some of those we now have.
There is a custom now among num-
Der OF the consumers Of this state to pur-
chase their supplies from eastern houses
commonly called catalogue houses IL the
dealers of this state are required to mark
or brand certain articles of merchandise 1t
will have a tendency to increase the pur-
chases by consumers of the foreign 'cata-
logue houses even with the knowledge
that the quality of the selections made is
exactly the same as those kept for sale by
their home dealer, but which by necessity
of the pure food law carries special labels
or brands.
Eastern catalogue houses can and will
with impunity brand their goods abso-
lutely pure, quality guaranteed to be sold
to the consumer in this state, when in fact
the quality will be no better, II as coed,
as that Of the merchandise sold by home
dealers. and in no way can pure food law
OF this state reach them"

owher to occupy two rooms and, represent
ing that he was the agent of the building
when the legation moved in, he collected
rent. Grassland boarded with Faulkner
and his wife.
After some time, as Mr.. Hill was not
receiving his rent, he came to inquire about
II and after hearing the story decided to
lease the building to the United States.
Grassland then ordered Faulkner to move
out, and then the shooting began and
Faulkner assaulted him with a razor On

ner without provocation and in self defense
