Baroness Denies Statements.

The Baroness Won Roques stated to a
Star reporter late this afternoon that
Judge Yarrell never called her attention to
the Armstrong matter; that he never So
licited the suit nor did she have any COM
munication with him about it until she
learned from the press and through Sec
rotary Blaine and others that Mr.. Arm
strong was disposing of large tracts of
land and was representing himself as her
attorney in doing so.
This she said, was at the time New
York newspaper was raising funds for
the purpose of reopening Mrs. Maybrick' S
case and that the press commented on the
fact that she should accept funds procured
in that way when she owned so much
property which was being sold by her at
torney in this country.
Il was told she said, that this would
cause an international scandal, and reflect
upon my integrity in the highest degree.

THINKS AGITATION uNw1sE.
State Department Discourages Discus
sion Of Chinese Boycott.

sion Of Chinese Boycott.
The State Department frankly discour-
ages any further discussion in the south
and elsewhere on the question Of the
threatened boycott OF American goods by
China, and 1t Is stated on pretty high au-
thority that the State Department hopes
to arrange things SO that the agitation in
China will die out. The State Department
believes 1t would be good plan for the
cotton mill men to wait until they are
hurt before they begin to make plans for
relief.
Acting Secretary Loomis Of the State De-
partment. has had several conferences with
Sir Chentung Liang-Cheng. the Chinese
minister. and found the representative Of
China disposed to advise against talk in
China Of a boycott, although feeling that
the United States ought to deal more rea-
sonably and leniently with Chinese coming
to this country.
An important conference between the
President and the leading cotton mill men
of the south Is scheduled to take place at
the White House tomorrow. 1t will deal
with the threatened boycott. The cotton
mill men of the south and of New England
are united in urging the President to order
fairer treatment for Cinnamon coming to
the United States. The President has re-
ceived letter along the same lines from
Boston. the document being signed by thir-
teen large cotton manufacturing concerns
and commission merchants.
The delegation that will have a confer
ence in this city tomorrow, before proceed
ing to the White House, represents the
American-Asiatic Association of Cotton
Manufacturers, and will be headed by Capt
Ellison A. Smythe, president of the Pelzer
S. G.. mills, the largest cotton mills in the
south.
State Department officials privately do
not blame the south for urging fairer immi-
grafton laws for the Chinaman, inasmuch
as the south's cotton business abroad for
many years must be in China and the far
east. Then. too, there are suggestions that
the Chinaman would be the best immgra mt
the south could get to take the place of
the negroes, who are going elsewhere

CHECK THE CHAUFFEUR.
Reckless Automobile Driving - A
"World" Problem.

"OA1u 4AObAOAAs
From the Chicago Record Herald.
The other day our news columns pub
lished a startling summary Of the auto
mobile accidents and their results in and
about New York and vicinity since Janu-
airy 1. The record carried it's own moral.
The laws cannot be strictly and properly
enforced, even where they are in them
selves sufficient and adequate for the pro-
lection of the public. where the total Of
automobile casualties reaches 1913. with
CO deaths and so to 30 cases of perma-
nent Gripping and manning of the vic
TINS in so short time. In one week four
fatal accidents have been reported from
Philadelphia and three from Pitt.burg.
In many Instances, 1t Is morally certain,
sheer recklessness and brutal disregard
by the drivers of the safety and rights OF
pedestrians and others accounted for the
casualties, and to such persons as these
small fines are virtually license to con-
tinue their exacting and perilous sport
It is hardly necessary to point out that
II such misconduct is not checked within
a reasonable time drastic legislation will
be loudly demanded by the public. In the
words of the London Automobile Club,
nothing could be more prejudictal to au-
tomobilism than a general belief that
the leaders of the movement are indiffer-
ent to the safety, the comfort, the good
opinion of the public" What the London
Times, which mas nothing out SOOu III
the development of motoring, says edi-
torially for the benefit of those who OPP
pose or break reasonable rules applies to
our own automobile crank or nuisance:
THE libertines of the road who run
amuck with a high-speed locomotive are
not to be tolerated. The highways are
for the public, and are not racing tracks.
They were made for. all. on foot. driving
or on horseback"
These emphatic words are provoked by
the fact that every day, all over Eng
land, and in steadily increasing numbers,
drivers of automobiles are fined for vio-
Iation of the law as to driving. Some
Justices. have been obliged to fix special
sessions for hearing of summonses for
this offense, and so numerous have been
the protests and complaints that the
house of commons has addressed large
number of questions on the subject to the
home secretary. The problem is the same
throughout the world, and our own care
less or reckless violators of the auto
mobile laws or ordinances had better
ponder the warning addressed by the
great conservative organ we have named
to English offenders: There Is every
prospect" 1t says, that If matters do
not improve the whips of the existing
motor act will be transformed into the
scorpions of the motor act of the future"
A few penitentiary sentences for man
slaughter would, we imagine, have
most salutary effect.
