THE E%PE F6 fHIgE T

LONDON, April while officials Of
the Government affect to regard the
sanguinary engagement yesterday be-
/ tween Colonel Younghusband's escort
and the Thibetans as tri1ing Incl
dent they are, in reality, great dis
| turbed. An official stated privately
this morning that the government
would have much preferred that moth
ing of the sort had happened. Unofficial
observers generally consider the news
! important, if not startling. They ad-
NIT that the Br' fish must now persist
in the movement to Lhassa, whatever
view may be taken of the matter in
st. Petersburg.
Lord Curzon, Viveroy of India, is
intensely suspicious of the Russians
in Thibet and Downing street is tenn
porarily dominated by his views. The
finding of Russian rifles in the hands
of dead Thibetans tends to strengthen
confidence in the suspicious Of the
Viceroy and to stimulate still firmer
support of the Calcutta policy. Diplo
mats agree that the development of a
serious situation in Central Asia can
be averted only if Russia maintains
negative attitude.
Should the Russian Governments
reply, despite its preOccupatiOn in the
war with Japan, to the British action
in Thibet be a policy of territorial and
political reprisal, it is difficult to see
how a collision could be avoided. Such
will continue to be the case as long
as Lord Curzon dictates British ac-
ton in India, and there is no sign
that the controlling minds of the en-
pire intend to oppose his purposes.
ST PETERSBURG, April AL
though no official expression regard
ing the victory of the British expe-
dtiOn to Thibet is Obtainable to-
night it is certain that the matter
viii not attract the attention which
it would have done before the out
break of the war with Japan, when
Russian interest in the results of the
expedition was very keen. The real
purposes of the expedition were then
viewed with the gravest suspicion, it
being feared that a definite settle
ment of British influence over the

HOW THE CHINESE
FRAUDS WERE DONE
ONE SET OF CHINESE SUBSTI-
TUTED FOR ANOTHER IN THE
COUNTRY JAIL, SAN FRANCISCO.

A day or two ago the cable announced
the conviction in San Francisco of Dep
uty Sheriffs Dasha and Dempsey and
Hon Toon for accepting brides for sub
shutting Chinese who were returning to
China for those to be deported thither.
The following from the Chronicle of APP
ril 2, shows how it was done:
In the trial of the Chinese substitu-
ton case before Judge De Haven in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday
a surprise was sprung by the Govern
ment attorneys that fairly took the
breath from the lawyers for the defense,
when former Jailer Thomas T. Burnett,
the principal conspirator suddenly
took the stand as the initial witness for
the prosecution and proceeded to ex-
pose the details of the plot, which in
volved himself, former Jail Guards
Thomas ]. Dempsey and William f. Da-
sha, who helped substitute Chinese;
Hon TOon, the Chinese bribepayer, and
former Deputy United States Marshal
Gamble, who blew his brains out in Blu
ena Vista Park last September rather
than face the disgrace following the
prompt discovery of the fraud.
He testified that he, Dempsey and
Dasha were deputies at the County
Jail under Sheriff Lackmann; he at
the front door as turnkey, Dempsey in
the jailyard as a guard, and Dasha in
the corridor about the upper tier of
cells as a guard He said that in
March or April of last year the three
entered into a compact for the substi-
tuition of outside Chinese for those in
jail and ordered deported for attempt
ed illegal entrance into the United
States.
Burnett took the witness chair, and
the questioning began, He went on to
relate how the money was paid and
how the scheme was carried out

days before this change took place. I
was on the Broadway sidewalk in front
of the jail. He was there waiting for
me- told him it would cost 5000 a
man. He said he'd pay it.
Did you tell Hon Toon you would give
Dasha, Dempsey or Gamble any part of
that money or did you tell them how
you were going to switch the Chinese?
, I don't know whether or not Dasha
had seen Hon Toon previous to that,
Did you ever have any conversation
with Dempsey or Dasha about this
business?

regarded as Great Britain's object
would be considered as a severe blow
to Russian prestige both in Thibet
and in China.
Several leading newspapers here
have turned a complete somersault,
notably the Novoe Vremya. Only this
morning the Novosti calmly discussed
Great Brtains long standing desire
to obtain a protectorate over Thibet
as being in a fair way to succeed, de-
claring that neither Russia nor China
would object, while a special dispatch
from the Paris correspondent of the
Novoe Vremya said that an entente
between Russia and Great Britain
would be effected on the basis of a
Russian free hand in Manchuria and
a British free hand in Thibet.
LONDON April 1.-The Indian Office
has issued long dispatches sent by
Colonel Younghusband commanding
the British mission to Thibet, through
Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, which
confirm the statement concerning the
engagement between the British and
Thibetans were so hemmed in that
dispatches add that it was the Lhassa
General who fired the first shot, there
by melting the Thibetans to attack,
and show that but for the fact that the
Thibetans were no hemmed in that
they could not use their weapons the
British loss might have been much
more serious.
Later dispatches show that so little
was the onset expected that the Brit
ish officers were eating sandwiches
and adjusting cameras. Mr.. Gambler,
the unfortunate correspondent of the
Mail was sitting unarmed, writing.
He had a narrow escape from death,
receiving twelve wounds. Colonel
YOunghusband and his staff were not
far distant and also wholly unarmed,
and it is evident that but for the per-
sonal courage and presence of mind
of Colonel Macdonald and his officers
a terrible disaster might have oc-
CURED.
The Thibetans displayed logged
fearlessness. The whole affair occu-
pied only ten minutes and even in the
retreat the Thibetans disdained to
scatter and run, and marched SOL
EMMY in line under a hail of fire.

1 had a conversation with Hon Toon
in front of the County Jail about a
week or ten days before the substitu-
ton. He asked me if l would change
the men for him. 1 said I would. He
brought the men to me and I changed
them.

Mr.. Dasha and Mr.. Dempsey.
Where did they get the three Chinese
to be substituted?
The three Chinese in jail were brought
down from their cells and in the pres
ence of Dasha and Dempsey and myself
the substitution was made. The substi-
tuted men We're put back in the cells by

Did Hon Toon pay you anything?
He did; 5000, $500 at one time and 5000
at another.
Who got the money?
I did, Mr.. Dasha Mr.. Dempsey and
Mr.. Gamble.
What part did Mr.. Gamble play?
He furnished us with names of Chi

To Preserve Sea Weed.
If she is at resort where seaweed
is to be found, she will do well to
carry with her a portfolio made of
plotting paper, into which she can
clap any particularly dainty bit of
seaweed she may find. This is the
best way to preserve seaweed. Then
let her take two sea shells of large
size; clam shells will do If nothing bet
ter offers. Have holes drilled at the
top and join the two shells with rib
bon, making a bow on the outside. On
the inside of the shell paste seaweed
with a mucilage which comes especial
ly for such delicate work. The stay
at-home friend who opens these shells
will get a little taste Of seaside life.
The split bamboo fans which are
sold at all resorts at prices varying
from 10 to 20 cents apiece can be
worked into pleasing gifts. The stiff
handle should be cut off close to the
fan and the center vein OF the fan re-
moved, the deep splints being fastened
tightly with fine cord where the juno
ton with the handle formerly came.
The fan can then be pressed into any
shape, such as cornucopia or a long,
narrow roll tied with ribbon of har-
monious color and filled with dried
grasses. A green and white fan tied
with green ribbon and finished with
grasses is a most pleasing combina-
ton.

the variations of then anne. Mayd is
another form occasionally seen in Co.
lonial records. The Anglo-Sax word
maed means moved, or cut down, a
meadow. The Meads and Fields may
perhaps claim relationship. Judging
from an old epitaph, there is at least
poetic license for this supposition. The
lines are:

In 1886 Gabriel Mead came from

scended from Andrew Meade, who
came over in 1928. 1.-The Honest" was
the sobriquet by which he was always
known.
His grandsons, David and Richard,
who were sent to England for their
education, are said to have been the
inspiration of THE Virginians -
Thackeray's grandfather had been the
boys tutor, and his stories of the
handsome, spirited lads from over the
sea gave the novelist his motif.
David Meade, in a curious sketch of
his own life, written in the third per-
son. says he did not take away enough
learning to impoverish the school. He
was a great builder of air castles, but
concluding that he had neither figure.

him for romance, he prudently de-
termined to fall in love and marry

Col Ebenezer Mead was an eye-w@-
ness of Putnam's sensational ride down
the precipice. Titus Mead, living at
Greenwich, Conn, had such a valuable
horse that every night he led him up
the oaken stairs to the garrett for safe
keeping, horses being the most valua-
BILE booty that refugees could lay hands
on. 1T was at a Mead homestead in
Greenwich that Lafayette was enter
tanned when he visited here in 1924.
'Dearfield" was the name of the es-
tate This somewhat sentimental til
tie was given to it because it was a
wedding present from DR.. Amos Mead
to his son Richard.
One of the most celebrated of Colo
NAL houses was the Mead House in
Kentucky, near Lexington. Hospitality
was unbounded. No word was sent to
the host of the coming of company, for
to do so offended him, but every day
at 4 dinner was ready for guests, and
plenty of servants in attendance.
Twenty of us went there one day
without warning, and were entertained

I'm the early days. His marriage took
place in the depth of winter, and tray

so late at the house of the bride that
the guests had departed. A few were
recalled and the marriage took place
at midnight.
