TO SAVE MONEY
FOR UNCLE SAM
SUGGESTIONS BY THE ACTING
PUBLIC PRINTER a
Declares That Vanity Is the Cause OF
Much of the Unnecessary Work
Now Required-5ig Waste
in Patent Office
By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Acting
Public Printer Ricketts, today made
several suggestions for the saving of
money to the government in its public
printing to the joint committee on
printing of the senate and the house of
representatives. A volume of 4SOO
pages was exhibited by Mr. Ricketts,,
being one of tWenty-four such volumes
issued annually by the patent office and
containing pictures of patents issued.
1t was the belief of Mr.. Ricketts, that
100000 a year might be saved in the
patent office printing alone by a con-
densation of the subject matter. He
also ventured the information that the
$4,000 annual appropriation for. franked
envelopes for members of the senate
and house was more than the actual
requirement.
BY reason of the wages of the EN-
ployes of the government bindery be-
ing 25 per cent higher than in COM
mercial offices Mr.. Ricketts, was of the
opinion that much of the binding done
for the government could be done out
side with q great saving to the gov
ernment. Mr.. Ricketts, expressed the
opinion that 20 per cent of the pres
ent cost of composition is due to cor
Tections in proofs, which expense, he
showed, could be saved by more care
full editing before sending copy to the
printer.
Representative Lands, chairman of
the committee, took occasion during the
hearing to say that he thought that
vanity is in a measure responsible for
the immense amount of printing turned
out by the printing office. The propor-
ton was, he thought, largely dependent
upon the prominence of the authors
names on title pages.

NEARLY BECOMES TRAGEDY
Make-BeIieVe Rescue Of Woman on
Running Horse Is
Reality
RY Assoclated Press.


CHICAGO, Oct. PA dispatch to the
Tribune from New York says: In
tended merely for a moving picture
scene action, make-believe rescue of a
woman on a supposed to be runaway
horse in a park yesterday became an
episode fraught with imminent danger.
Miss Adele Won Oil was the woman
rider who was to be rescued. Policeman
Fitzgerald was to do the rescuing.
The race, with every mark of reality
about it, was almost run. Just then
Miss Won Ohrs horse was seen to
swerve. She was not prepared for it
and lost her poise in the saddle. She
grasped the pommel of the saddle or
she would have fallen and have been
dragged head downward. Her left foot
was still in the stirrup Clutching
therein, she hung while her horse gal
loped on for twenty or thirty feet, her
head and arm grazing the ground.
Fitzgerald at the first sign of real
danger had redoubled his efforts. In a
flash he had abandoned his original
intent to stop the horse. He now was
bent upon rescuing the rider. He over
took the horse and leaned down and
seized Miss Won Ohl's waist. In an
other second he had lifted her and
swung her over in front of him and
upon his own horse. Miss Won Oil had
tainted.

FOUR FIREMEN HURT
IN SAN FRANCISCO BLAZE
PINNED UNDER FALLING WALL
BUT RESCUED ALIVE
Building Occupied by Central Cam
neries Company at North Point and
Mason Streets Is Completely De.
stroyed-Loss, 100000; Insured
RY Associated Press.

by ASSOCldleu
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-Pinned
under the fallen wall of a burning
building for from one to four hours
each, but finally rescued alive, was
the experience of four firemen early
this morning. The fire, which started
from an unknown cause in the estab-
lishment of the Central Canneries COM
pany, on the corner of North Point
and Mason streets, completely de-
stroyed the big two-story frame struc-
ture occupied by that corporation and
did great damage to the adjoining
works of the California Ore Testing
company. The loss is estimated at
about 100000, we'll covered by insur-
ance.
The first call for the firemen was
quickly followed by a general alarm,
which brought most of the department
to the scene. Nearly all of the adja
cent buildings being of wood, a SER
ious conflagration seemed imminent
and the force was urged to it's utmost
in subduing the flames.
Suddenly, while four of the firemen
were inside the burning building, one
of it's walls collapsed and buried them
under a mass of burning debris. They
were:
Lieutenant David Harrison of Truck
No. 2; Jack Erata, Truck No. 2; Frank
Cassassa, Engine No. 5; Harry Wilson,
Engine No. 5.
Great difficulty was experienced in
extricating the men from their peril
Gus position. Lieut. Harrison, who lay
PROSTATE with a heavy iron girder
across his limbs, did not lose con-
sciousness, but directed the work of
the rescuers. The men had to cut
through the girder with steel saws be-
fore his release could be effected. All
the imprisoned men sustained serious
but not fatal injuries. Several other
firemen were in perilous positions and
one or two were slightly hurt

CHINESE TREATY WILL
AWAIT CONGRESS- ACTION
RIGoR OF EXCLUSION LAW is
MATERIALLY LESSENED
That the Wishes of the President Have
Been Carried Out Is Evident From
the Increased Number of Coolies
Arriving in the United States
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-It is the
understanding that the efforts at treaty
making between the United States and
China will await the action of congress
in the matter of amending the Chinese
exclusion act, in accordance with an
expected recommendation of President
Roosevelt in his next annual message.
So far there has been utter failure on
the part of the two governments to get
together on a treaty. Soon after China
brought the treaty of 1894 to an end on
December s last she presented the draft
of a new treaty to the state de-
partment. This was turned over to
the department of commerce ana
labor, which has jurisdiction over
immigration matters. When this de-
partment was through with the treaty
it was returned to the state department
for transmission to China. China ut
terly rejected the instrument in its
modified form. Since that time no
further steps have been taken in the
matter, although the understanding
here is that China is preparing a new
draft.
That much has been done to lessen
the rigor of the exclusion act in ac-
cordance with the expressed wishes of
President Roosevelt is manifest by the
increased number of Chinese who are
coming to the United States. The rec
ord shows that in September twenty
three Chinese were admitted and but
eleven rejected. In September of last
year the number admitted was 12S and
the reflections eighty-tive This, it is
said, is the result of lessening the ten
sion at the ports of entry. Since the
executive order was issued, inspectors
charged with enforcing the Chinese ex-
clusion law give more weight to what
a Chinaman says in making his demand
for admission.
A recent modification of the regula-
tions makes, it is declared, an absolute
breach in the exclusion wall. The regu-
lation in question required, before it
was modified, a bond of $500 to be fur
nished by the transportation company
for every Chinaman in transit through
the country, no laborer to be allowed in
transit. This bond has been entirely
done away with.

the American minister, Mr.. Russell.
and President Castro have conferred
with a view to finding settlement
of the diplomatic difficulty between

both withdrawing their notes as a
preliminary to adjusting the contro-
versy regarding the French Gable
company. ... .'.
However, such basis finds favor in
official quarters and the negotiations
tend toward an adjustment along such
lines, President Castru's silence alone
deferring a determination.

pany's great coal crushers, which sup
ply coal for it's coke ovens, were de-
