BLAMES THE EXCLUSION LAW
Former President of State University
Says Chinese Boycott Is
Serious Menace
BY Associated Press.


BERKELEY, Nov. 21.-IIorace Da-
Wis, former president of the state
university and prominently connected
with the Pacific coast trade with the
orient, declared in a lecture on that
subject before the College of Com
merce, branch of the university. the
boycott on American goods in China
10 be menace to American interests
III the orient, creating a situation so
serious that the Chinese government
mas itself poWerless to control it. This
untoWard condition he attributed to
the marsh administration of the Amer
ican exclusion law.
speaking of the possibilities of the
trade With China alone, he said:
fhe Chinese now have a foreign
commerce amounting to about S1.25 a
heau per year. Japan has in forty
years developed a commerce running
UP from nothing to about $3.50 per per-
son year, or about $3.50, 100000 per
year altogether. If China can be made
to develop such trade as this, in the
same time, it would amount to about
$500, 100000. Now China's foreign
commerce is $393, ,0OO, ,O0O What this
great growth would mean to all the
countries taking part in supplying
Ch1na's needs can easily be understood.
If China could ever be made to devel-
op a foreign commerce equaling per
capita the commerce of this country it
would amount to the stupendous total
OF $4,000, 900 year, an amount all
most inconceivable"

snacIal TO The Herald.

Special TO The Herald
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.--In five min
utes today s5O,OOO,OOO was added to the
market value of this years cotton
crop and caused a panic among the
wall street spectators who had sold
hundreds of thousands of bales they
did not own.
Joseph II. Hoadley and syndicate of
farmers reaped fortune in those ter
rife five minutes, estimated by some
authorities to be as much as $4,000, 900.
Hoadley's personal profit for the five
minutes was estimated at more than
$l,OOO,OOO by close personal friend
Theodore II. Price lost millions for
himself and his bear pool, but Daniel
j. Sully was a winner. The rise was
caused by the government census bu-
reau report of the amount of cotton
glnned up to Nov. Ia. Wall street had
been expecting the report to show at
least S,500,000 bales. The figures were
only I,49S.167. This means a crop of un-
der 10,000,000 bales. The instant the
flrst figure was announced on the ex-
changs pandemonium broke. The
scenes enacted were like football
rushes, some tame and boyish. Only
those brokers where physical giants
were able to get to the market The
smaller men were tossed aside and al
most trampled under foot in the rush.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 21.-When
William S. Manning of this city was

in the New York insurance investiga
tion he replied with considerable heat.

place where he should turn his search
light is not so much on the officers of

The department is much to blame

incompetent"

his dealings only with Mr.. Nichols

said Mr.. Manning, "for opposing before

TALKS ON GRAFT IN
LEGISLATIVE BODIES
r. w. PARKER, ILLINOIS STATE
SENATOR, LECTURES
Explains Some of the Familiar Devices
Made Use of in Governing Bodies
to Kill Measures When Paid to
Do So

By Associated Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-State Senator
Francis w. Parker lectured on Graft
in Legislative Bodies" last night before
the Mems club of the Hyde Park Bap-
tist church.
"One of the familiar devices of the
modern grating legislature" he said,
working in the interest and directly
or indirectly in the pay of those who
have an interest adverse to the public,
is to manipulate the business so that il
Will be concentrated in the final days
of the session and everything will be
killed.
Another familiar pretext is to load
the bill, the passage of which has be-
come inevitable, with conditions and
incidents fatal to its efficiency or which
prolong the period of it's applicability,
until after the next session of the legis-
lature, when it again may become sub
ject matter for discussion.
The graft of the future is just this
kind of negative graft" concluded Mr..
Parker. The great interests adverse
to the people are no longer demanding
legislation. They have their lands,
their charters, their franchises, their
well nigh uncontrolled possession of
regulation of the rates for the services
which they render. They are asking
nothing except to be let alone.
The result is that we have legislative
assemblies-city, state and national
which men, who in ancient times would
have poisoned wells or dehled temples,
are engaged ostensibly in passing laws
for the communities which they rep
resent.
The graft of the legislator is secret.
No books are kept which some day are
certain 10 reveal his crime. No partne"
is in position to reveal the wrong. L.
some one loses money to him i'm poker
game or retains his law partner at a
time when critical legislation is before
him no one can trace the crime to him,
even though all the facts become
known"

WASHINGTON, Nov 21.--Rumors of
a revolution in Panama have reached
Washington this evening, and while
diligent inquiry failed to obtain con-
firmatlon of the report that actual hos
tilities had occurred, 1t is true the re-
.ations between the Amador adminis-
tration and the Liberal party are
strained and delicate situation exists.
General Obaldia, the Panama minister.
said this afternoon that he has heard
certain rumors. but declined to discuss
them beyond the statement that he did
not believe they were true.
r. l.. Farnum, consul for Panama,
who has recently returned from the
isthmus, said this evening he did not
believe there had been a revolution,
and If any disturbance had occurred
1t was due to few hotheads on one
side or the other.
OF course, no serious disturbance
can occur on the isthinus; for If the
authorities should prove to be unable
to ouell it the United States would
promptly exercise it's right to preserve

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-Can a teamster
buy clothing and shoes for himself and
family, pay doctors bills, buy school
books for his children and get the minor
household necessities for cents a day?
That is the question that a committee
from the Oil Wagon union asked Man
ager Stephen N. Hurd of the Standard
Oil company yesterday
The old wagon drivers receive 81 a
day and are asking for an increase to
SIS a month. They adopt a novel
method of presenting their case to the
representative of the richest corpora
tion in the world. A committee, headed
by James Duffy, the business agent of
the union, called on Manager Hurd yes
terday
II want to show you what it costs
the average family to live" said Duffy.
He presented a schedule showing that
rent, food, fuel, light and car fare cost
man $1.97 day.
1--WE get So day. said Duffy, 'and
ask you if you think that we can buy
clothing and other necessary things ON
cents day.
Gould you live on 81 day yourself
Mr.. Hurd?
mo. | don't believe ! could, boys,
replied Mr.. Hurd, land probably you
can't either, but the fact is / can get
plenty of teamsters who are willing to
work for that price. That is really
what governs wages more than the cost
Of living"
The new scale has been approved by
the teamsters' joint council. A meet
ing of the union will be held tonight
to vote on the question of calling a
strike.
Three independent companies have
already agreed to pay the increase.

With a crash and a kissing roar that
could be heard over the entire town of
Redondo Santa F'e freight engine No.
8 plunged through pier No. of the
Los Angeles -Redondo Wharf company,
carrying to death Fireman C. C. Banks
of Fullerton, at 145 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
Engineer o. l.. Watkins also went
down with the locomotive into the sea,
but miraculosly escaped from the
wreck and was rescued from drowning.
Mrs. c. b. Goodrich, a woman 60
years of age, who was fishing from the
pier at the time, was also thrown into
the sea but was quickly rescued
The fatal accident is the result of the
heavy seas experienced along the
southern coast of California during the
past three days. The running seas were
exceptionally strong off the coast of
Redondo last Monday night. So strong
were the tide rips that the Pacific Coast
Steamship company's steamer Santa
Rosa was torn away from her mornings
at the pier last Monday night. The
heavy cables holding the steamer parted
like threads.
The wharf officials claim that the
heay seas of Monday night undermined
the piles.
Workmen at the wharf say that the
pier was weakened by the banging and
jamming of the Santa Rosa against
the pier during the time the steamer
was moored there previous to her cables
parting. Wharf officials, however, deny
that any damage was done to the
wharf by the steamer.
Say Precautions Were Taken
The officials also claim that every
precaution was taken yesterday morn
ing to prevent disaster, They state that
careful soundings were taken before
work on the pier was begun.
Engineer Hopkins and several resi-
dents of Redondo assert that no sound
ings were taken and that work was be-
gun without Investigations of any kind
yesterday morning. Workmen and resi-
dents of Redondo also state that the
piles supporting the wharf near the end
were almost eaten through by wood
boring insects.
The wharf officials say that their piles
are covered by two kinds of wire net
ting. a layer of felt and coated with tar,
for the purpose of protecting them
against the wood-boring insects and the
action of the water. Workmen en-
tected piles have been added only re-
Gently to few of the badly destroyed
piles. The sections of broken piles
floating about the Redondo harbor give
evidence of no protecting material.
At the point where the engine burst
through the pier the water is forty feet
deep. When the locomotive struck the
water terrific roar OF kissing steam
and water arose and added horror to
the frightful crash. Several persons
were on the wharf at the time engaged

The kissing caused by the contact Of
the hot engine with the water and
the noise of the breaking timbers Gre

pier at once set about to rescue the
three who plunged into the water

According to Engineer Hopkins the

being shipped to Los Angeles.
When the wharf gave way four feet
