grafton and Expected to Remove
Causes of Dissatisfaction.

What will probably be the ADMIN
istration program for Chinese legisla-
tion has been agreed upon Tentatively
and il is understood bill Will De
drawn up in December to carry OUT
this agreement, is report that comes
from Washington city.
Briefly it provides for the appoint
ment of special agents of the depart
mont of Commerce and Labor to pc
stationed at the United States sea-
norts of Asia and Europe whose sole
dutv will be to inspect Chinese certl-
ficates and determine whether or not
the holders are entitled to enter the
Tinted States. This inspection is
now done by consuls and their man.
ner of doing it has aroused criticism
and created dissatisfaction. They
sometimes neglect this work and turn
it over to a third party, usually chi
nese Interpreter, whose honesty ana
integrity are matters of doubt.
It is said Secretary Root indorses
this policy as it will center all OF the
Chinese business in the immigration
bureau which is a part of the depart
ment of Commerce and Labor.
Meanwhile Secretary Root Will
proceed to negotiate a new treaty
with Minister Cheng which will more
clearly define the classes of Chinese
eligible to admission to the United
States

to be afflicted with mysterious mall
ady, which affected her health so
much that there were fears that she
would die. She was inclined to attrib-
ute the malady to the anatnemas Of
the Brahmin priests.
"Sooboo" was the daughter of
wealthy parents. Her father was re-
ported to be Hindoo prince. He was
the first to take a double degree at
the University of Madras. When $500
boo was born her cradle glittered
with jewels and feasts were held in
her native city in celebration of her
birth.

married to her nearest marriagable

name when the wedding took place. 1t

MINERS WILL HAVE UNIQUE EX.
PERIENcE AT THE CON-
ING CONGRESS.
Feature Of the Meeting Will be the
in City of Juarez.

Ell PASO, Texas, Oct. 10.-Dele-
gates to the American Mining congress
in Ell Paso this fall, November 1913,
will be entertained In the former cap
iral of Mexico as a part Of the pro-
gram. Ciudad 'uarez, the Mexican
city across the Rio Grande from Ell
Paso, separated only from this Amer
lean city by the boundary stream and
connected with it by two international
bridges and an international electric
car line, was the capital of the sister
republic when Benito Juarez, the pat
riot president, was in flight from
Maximilian's army, and the building
in which he made mis- headquarters is
still we'll preserved; at present it Is
the postoffice of Ciudad Juarez. This
notable old building will be the scene
of an entertainment during the con-
gress.
Bull fights in Mexico, excursions in
20 the copper camps of Sonora, Mex
lean suppers, and other characteristic
Mexican features will make part of the
entertainment of the congress.
From up-to-date Ell Paso with her
10000 wide-awake Americans, it is but
a step to the sister city across the
river, but that step takes the visitor
back several centuries. There he will
see houses built of mud blocks such
as the ancients on the American con-
tinent used in the prehistoric period,
or the Egyptians used in the construc-
ton of their residences in the biblical
days Of Moses and Joshua; a church
over 300 years old; quaint houses with
walled gardens; barred windows, and
cactus growing on the roof; the Mex
leans little herd of goats in the front
yard, with the pigs, and lastly, along
with other unique sights, the burrow
the canary Of the Rockies, the beast
of burden of the acknowledgment
under loads of merchandise, house
hold articles and provisions, all CIV
ing the scene an air Of picturesque
ness that is full of interest for the
visitor.

BACK IN FAITH.
After Being a Christian Ten Years
She Returns to Brahmisism.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 10.-A
letter mas been received in this city
from Miss Grace Stephens, in charge
Of the Methodist mission work in
Madras India, containing the news
that the young Hindoo woman Soo-
boonagan Animal has relapsed from
Christianity and resumed the faith Of
her fathers. Sooboonagam was one
of the few converts to Christianity
from the high-caste Hindoos. Her
conversion attracted attention in the
religious world.
1t was reported last summer that
"Sooboo," as she was Familiarity called
had been kidnapped by Hindoos, while
carrying on ner work of attempting TO
convert her people to Christianity.
The story was that in company with
woman companion she was driving
in her bullock cart on July 1 when
suddenly a band Of men held her up in
a public road, forcibly took her from
the cart and thrust her into a closed
carriage. This Kidnapping story was
believed until definite news recently
reached the Christian mission in Mad
ras that "Sooboo" had renowned
Christianity.
Scooboonagam's conversion to Chris
tianity was brought about by Miss
Grace Stephens. 1t was the thirst for
knowledge that led to Sooboonagam's
change of faith. She was anxious to
learn the Tamil dialect, and the most
available place to learn it was at the
Christian mission in Madras. Miss
Stephens induced Sooboonagam to read
the Bible, and it was not long before
the young princess began to doubt
her religion
It was on Christmas day, 1893, that
"Sooboo' made known her intention
of becoming a Christian. A deputation
of Hindoos and a police official ap
peared at the Christian mission and
entreated her to return home When
she refused they threatened her. Their
threats were followed by attempts on
1ner life which were defeated only when
Miss Stephens spirited her out of the
country. "Sooboo" came to the Unit
ed States in April, 1900, and re-
manned until October the following
year.
"Sooboo's" baptism In the Christian
faith was followed by a three days
funeral over her efagy by Brahmin
priests. The exercises eliminated in
a burial Of the ashes of the efigy.
Several years ago "Sooboo" appeared

Probe for New York Life.
Previous to this time Governor Gull
berson had sent John E. Hollings-
worth as his special representative to
New York to make inquiry In the con-
duct of the insurance company af-
fairs Officials of the New York Life
met Mr. Hollingsworth and pretended
| to open all their books, but in view OF
recent disclosures it is apparent that
he was not allowed to see the secret
| books, such as "Non-ledger Assets"
and the "Unexpended Balance" ac-
counts.
He was instructed from Texas to
make inquiries into the very points
now being revealed, such as political
contributions, lobbying payments, per-
uuisities of officials and the diversion
of funds from policy holders. He made
strenuous endeavors to find what was
suspected, but without definite re-
suits. The books showed nothing and
officials blandly assured him that no
such expenditures were made. These
statements were backed up with the
affidavits.
Letters similar to that written to
the New York Life were sent by
Governor Culberson at the same time
to the Equitable and Mutual Life
companies. In reply he received from
James w. Alexander, then vice-presi-
dent Of the Equitable, capies of the
regular annual report made by the
company to the insurance commits
sioner of New York No direct
answer was made to the question
concerning political contributions
The Mutual Life paid no attention to
the governors request.
Special Agent Hollingsworth was
ordered to call upon these two COM
panies and look into their books. He
was assured that no political contribu
tons had been made, but no affidavits
to that effect were furnished him.
The state law of Texas, adopted
as a result of these Investigations,
is very strict and gives arbitrary pow
ers to the superintendent Of insur
ance statistics and history to bar
from Texas companies guilty Of di-
verting funds.
The apparent contradictions Of the
New York Life officials in regard to
the contributions in 1896 has raised
the question Of accuracy of their
sworn statements. Governor Lam
ham, who found the documents in the
case, has the matter under consid-
Grafton.

RockefelIer's Money.

We have been Watcnlng WIN
great deal of interest the controversy
over the question Of accepting the
500, 900 that John D. Rockefeller re-
Gently offered to the Foreign Mission
board of the Congregational church,
and we confess our inability to see
any good excuse for the raising OF
such a fuss as has been raised.
There may be a question as to
whether Rockefeller's tremendous for
tune has been accumulated by strictly
honest and honorable means. There
is a good deal that may be said on
either side of the subject by way OF
argument; but in the absence Of abso-
lutte facts this amounts to nothing.
However, as we see it, the moral sta
tus of this money Is of no consequence
so far as the board Of foreign missions
Is concerned.
Mr.. Eockefellers motive for making
the contribution in question Is not as
we see 1t a subject for scrutiny at the
hands Of the foreign mission board, or
of any human being. The question is
between him and his God and, we are
all bound to believe that God Is able
to take care Of such matters.
The only ground on which men could
refuse such a gift would be because
of a fear that 1t would work injury to
the cause Of Christ, and 1t Is a pretty
Nlt. h0
cause which can be injured by no
man.
Mr.. Rockefeller's 100000 is large
sum in the eyes Of most Of us; but
when we consider that after all 1t Is
only a part Of his daily income, 1t Is not
difficult to understand, how In the eye
of God, 1t is far less than the Widows
mite, and may be of small Importance.
In this whole connection, 1t might
be Just as we'll not to forget that
while none of us are able to contri-
butte 100000 for missions or for any
other Christian cause, there is not one
Of us who Is not able to contribute
more than Mr.. Rockefeller has ever
contributed. We do not mean In
amount, of course, for amount Is Of
little consequence. We have only to
contribute until we can feel that we
have really given something, and then
keep our mouths shut about the mat
ter.
In the meantime 1t is just as we'll
not to worry about Mr.. Rockefeller
that is for the church not to worry
about him. If Mr.. Rockefeller has
transgressed the law of the land, the
law of the land should vindicate it.
self. If he has transgressed the law of
God, no one need fear that he will be
able to smooth matters over by con-
tributions of 100000 or other amounts.
