Manuel and according to the story told
at police headquarters sought to settle

weapon inflicted severe scalp wound
and Fraser was treated to a free ride
in the patrol wagon to the police station
where he awaits a hearing today
on the charge of assault and battery.

.RANSACKED THE
SERVANTS HOUSE

All Sing is in the police station on a
charge of vagrancy. According to the
story told by the officer who arrested
him All Sing is not so much of a va
grant as something else. Yesterday
he went into the servants quarters in
the Montana residence in Manoa Valley
and was ransacking the place when
the servants discovered him. Then he
ran away and found refuge in the Ian
tana scrub. The Montana employees
discovered that they had been robbed
of watch, necktie or two, and sew
eral other articles and gave chase.
Other servants in the neighborhood
Joined in the chase and All Sing was
captured but he did not have the watch
on his person and as no one saw him
take it they We're unable to charge
him with larceny. The police were
telephoned for and went out and took
All Sing into custody.

in western America and the world-mar-
xet price in western Europe there is a
variable difference to be divided be-
tween the distrlbutive agencies, lnclud-
ing traders, bankers, and transporters
The trader does his part of the work
for fixed rate OF commission plus a
speculative profit; the banker obtains a
/ egular rate of discount, from which
risk Is practically eliminated by insur-
ance; and the transporter tries TO get
the residual share. but is subject to
the foresight OF the trader and the
banker. who are really the custodians
of the commodity in store or on its
way between producer and consumer.
If the transporter holds his services too
high for trader or banker to profit, the
commodities await a higher price or q
lower freight charge, and production is
ultimately restricted. If the trader
holds his services too high, the banker
himself may find 1t to his advantage
to utilize surplus credit in financing the
movement Of commodities. If the bank
er in turn exceeds the limit of reason
able charges, credit from elsewhere
comes in to do the work. Such Is the
mobility both of capital and OF business
management within national limits
that no representative of commercial
service can for any considerable time
make his own terms for his part in
the annual distribution of any agricul-
tural surplus.
The student of commercial charges in
their relation TO prices of foodstuffs
finds that there is one governing tend
ency pervading the whole history of
trunk-line operations, viz, that this
difference between producers price and
consumers cost tends in the long run
to become a diminishing proportion per
unit of the value of foodstuffs gener
ally. In other words, the residual
share, made up of the difference be-
tween what the producer gets and what
the consumer pays, goes to commerce
in its various functions, but that the
portion to be divided up among trad
ers bankers, and carriers has been
gradually pared down to a margin
which probably ten years ago would
have been regarded as ruinously unre
munerative.
The problem has, from this point of
view, twofold character: First,
whether as a question of general eco
nomic welfare it were better to inject
a larger element of competition into
trunk-line business, and thus for some
lines, If not for all, diminish still fur
Their the residual portion which must
be shared among the participants in
trade; or whether, on the other hand,
it were better to maintain conserva-
tive limitations on competition in the

TRAFFIC..

"Trunk-Line Traffic and the Differ
entail Rates to and from the Seaboard"
is the title of monograph just issued
by the Department of Commerce and
Labor through its Bureau of Statistics.
1t forms part of the Monthly sum-
mary of Commerce and Finance, and
discusses the pending question of diff
ferential rates on the trunk lines be-
tween the seaboards and the great
grain and stock producing interior of
the United States.
The trunk-line railroads between the
North Atlantic seaboard and the sur
plus grain States of the Central West

GATHERING GENERALlTlES.

Every nation has its fetch and the
one Americans bring out and worship
on the Fourth of July is embraced in
the phrase, invented by the French
idealists of the eighteenth century, that
"all men are born free and equal"
jefferson wrote part of it into the Dec
laration of Independence, holding the
truth to be self-evident'' that "all men
are created equal" Being a slavehold-
err he did not quite say that all men
are born free but he went so far as to
insist that they had an inalienable
right to freedom. But it was a right
If one at all, which Americans denied
nying Indians yet; right which is
challenged politically in the case of
Southern negroes today. Indeed, when
one looks over all races and finds so
many that need tutelage and the dis
cipline of the strong hand, races that
must be curbed for the sake of the
worlds peace, the hollowness of the re-
sounding phrase is manifest.
AS for men being born equal" that
is an affront to common observation.
Horses are not born equal; neither are
dogs or cattle. There are plenty of
different. The car horse is not born
equal to the racer; the scrub range COW
is not born equal to the Jersey; the
NANCY cur of the gutter is not born
equal to the prize mastiff of the bench
show. And so with men. OF ten thou
sand babies born In 1909 in the Ken
lucky backwoods, one was Abraham
Lincoln. How many of the remainder
We're born equal TO him? Quality is the
test OF men and quality varies in them

IN RE sTRAUCH ET. AL.

Despite urgent inquiries Mr. Strauch
has not yet made good in the matter
of credentials. His own assets do not
appear TO be large. In a schedule of
bankruptcy filed by him in the Fed
eral court yesterday it appears that he
has six chairs, value SO; one table,
value 81 and one bicycle, old model,
value $12; total $40. He also has a
half interest in the Interstate Mercan-
tile Agency, value unknown. Had Mr.
Strauch listed this at 81 we could
cheerfully credit him with private
banking capital of $40, except that he
claims exemption on the chairs, table
and bicycle. What the property re-
sources are of Mrs. Strauch, Mr.. Rod
gers and Mr.. Sedgebeer, the latter an
employe of the local Fire Department
we do not know; certainly, whatever
they are, they are not set apart to
guarantee the safety of deposits.
Inquiry thus comes up to the San
Francisco packers" Who are they?
The public has heard certain names
from Mr.. Strauch, but it lacks the fol-
lowing useful data about the men:
a. Do they actually exist?
(2) If so, what relation do they bear
to Mr.. and Mrs. Strauch's Home Fur
nishing Society?
(3) Can they be held responsible If
the Strauch's do not carry out their
contracts with subscribers? That is,
should the Strauch's die or otherwise
become incapacitated as free and
reachable agents would the San Fran
cisco people stand between the con-
tract-holders and loss? Would the lat
ter furnish homes to those who had
earned them?
And one more question! Why Is 1t
that the last San Francisco directory
a copy of which may be seen at the
First National Bank, omits the names
of three of the four alleged San Fran
cisco hackers of Strauch in the Equita-
BILE Underwriting e Trust Co. unc)

by Strauch as follows: Thos. T. Lyon.

PHILIPPINE TRADE.

The Filipinos who have come to the
United States to look up matters of
trade with the New World are not the
first of their race to do so. over 800
years ago, Manila enjoyed a large trade
with Mexico. Fleets of merchant gall

fury and those who escaped from it
are represented today in the native
population by supposed descendants.
A few years ago a Chinese traveller
in Mexico a learned man, was struck
by the Oriental type of certain Indians
whom he met on the west coast. From
their appearance and the fact that they
had Oriental names for their straw
sandals and for some of their food, he
evolved the theory that Chinese immi-
at very early date 1t is more prob
able, however, that the influx of Fill
Pine traders, between 800 and 400 years
ago, accounts for the physical resem-
blances which the Chinese traveller
noted. OF Mongolod origin, the Fill
pinos readily transmit the strong facial
peculiarities of the Asiatics. Indeed
Aguinaldo, as type, might be accept
ed as pure japanese. There are many
who look like him in the mountains
back of Guaymas and Mazatlan.
The trade between Mexico and Manila
lasted, through much piratical vicissi-
tude, $50 years; and then it was trans,
ferred to the coast of New England by
Yankee traders who supplied Mexico
in turn through the port of Vera Cruz.
Filipino merchants did not venture in
the new paths and their race was I'M
represented in New England except as
cabin boys and the like. They stayed
at home and sold goods, cigars. manila
rope and bags, principally, and bought
what they wanted from trading car
