"Chinese Official Declares His Authorship
Among the books of last season, few
created more comment than the anony-
NOUS "Letters from Chinese Official"
expressing an Oriental's view OF our occi-
dental civilization. The little volume
was interesting because it disclosed and
scored SO vigorously and justly our short
comings. our shams, and insincerities.
1t is interesting therefore, to hear that G.
Loves Dickinson, author of Religion: A
Criticism and Forecast" just brought
ont BY McClure-Phillips, now admits to
the authorship Of Letters from a Chinese
Official" which WAS at one time seriously
attributed To the former minister from
China, Wu Ting Fang.

ORDERED RELEASED.

y Judge Dayton, of the United
States court. in chambers at Wheel
ing heard the petition Of Judge De
spuy, praying for the release Of Har-
yey H. Broadwater from the custody
of the officers Of the state on a writ
Ipf habeas corpus, Judge Dayton
granted the writ, and Broadwater
will be released.
Broadwater is the cattleman who
on Tuesday was taken from Parkers-
burg to Braxton county by the au-
thorities and jailed on the charge
of getting goods under false pre-
lenses. 1t was set up in the petit
ton to the United States court that
the imprisonment Of the cattleman
would work a hardship on him and
that it would interfere with the adj
ministration of his estate which he
has thrown into bankruptcy for the
benefit Of the very creditors who had
him jailed and that he did not cons
nit any criminal offense in issuing
the checks which later proved to be
worthless since he had sent to the
bank at Pennsboro, on which they
were drawn sufficient money to cover
them and that the bank had applied
this money to other obligations.
1t was set up that the bank had
honored his checks on previous oc-
casions and he had reason to think
that it would do SO in this case.
A pretty legal question arises as
to the proper procedure in the SER
vice of the writ. When arrested by
the Braxton authorities Broadwater
was in the Northern District of West
Virginia. The body is now in the
Southern District and the question
is whether the United States mar
shall for this district or the q. S.
marshal for the Southern District
should serve the papers.
