JEROME HEARS JEROME
The Noted Humorist Attends One of
His Namesake's Meetings.

New York, Oct. 26.-Jerome K
Jerome, the English humorist, saw his
first American political meeting when
he went a night or so ago to hear his
namesake.
AS speaker after speaker vehement
" denounced the grafters, while
plentiful references to graft sprinkled
their speeches, the humorist become
more and more puzzled. He turned
to his companion, and with a decided
emphasis on the broad "a" asked:
ooh, 1 say, y'know-what is this
'gr-a-ft?"
AS soon as the other man could re-
cover he told the humOrist as best he
could.
Now, that's odd yknow." returned
Jerome. Il never heard that word
before"
One of the speakers referred to
President Roosevelt as mot only the
first American, but the first citizen of
the world, the man who is more in the
eye of the world than any other man"
4 guess that's right" said Mr..
Jerome, 4 don't know any man who
comes before him. The German en-
perOr used to have the center of the
stage, but I guess that Mr.. Roosevelt
has it now without any question-the
first man in the world"
Jerome K. Jerome is one of the
most noted humorists of the day.and is
the author of articles appearing week
ly in the Sunday edition of the State
Journal.

record shows that in September 283
Chinese were admitted and but II re-
jected. In September of last year the
number admitted was 128 and the re-
jections SIS. This, it is said, is the re-
suit of lessening the tension at the
ports of entry. Since the executive
order was issued inspectors charged
with enforcing the Chinese exclusion
law give more weight to what
Chinaman says in making his demand
for admission. It is decided that it is
much easier for the inspectors when a
Chinaman is a merchant" or does
not belong to the excluded class than
it was previously.
A recent modification of the regu-
Iations, it is declared, makes an abso-
lutte breach in the exclusion wall. The
regulation in question required. before
it was modified, a bond of $500 to be
furnished by the transportation com
pany for every Chinaman in transit
through the country, and no Iaborer
would be allowed in transit. This
bond has been entirely done away
with. This fact, taken in connection
with the ease with which a laborer
can now persuade an inspector that
he is a merchant and only desires
to pass through. constitutes the breach
in the wall. Once in the country Gin

off the train at any desired point and

ulations in favor of the Chinese has

HOLE IN THE WALL.
Chinese Are Creeping Through in
Largely Increased Numbers.

Washington. Oct. 27.-It is the I'M
derstanding that the efforts at treaty
making between the United States and
China will await the action of con-
gress 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 gov
ernments to get together on a treaty.
Soon after China brought the treaty
of 1894 to an end on the Sth of De-
cember last she presented the draft
of a new treaty to the state depart
ment. This was turned over to the
department of commerce and labor
which has jurisdiction of immigration
matters When this department con-
cluded with the treaty it was returned
to the state department for transmits
sion to China. China utterly rejected
the instrument in it's 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 manifested by
the increased number of Chinese who
are coming into the United States. The

DEFENDS ON THE TIRES.
Eastern Tests Show Increased Size
Help Autos Along.

New York. Oct. 27--Some interest
ing data was recently secured by a
motorist who used tires of different
sizes with a view of noting the differ
ence in speed in racing. He used a
twO-cylinder car and claims a great
gain and comfort with tires of larger
size. When he first started with his
car it was equipped with two inch
solid tires, and the average speed he
was able to attain varied from twelve
to fourteen miles per hour. Increas-
ing the size of his solids to Two and a
half inches he got up to eighteen
miles.
With four inch pneumatics he was
able to strike a gait of twenty miles,
and increasing these by an inch on the
back wheels gave him twenty-four
miles an hour. He claims that all this
was with the same car and the same
engine, the only difference being in the
size of the sprockets employed. This
furnishes an eloquent argument for
the large size tires in the racing
game.
