GOES To CHINA
TO MOLD THOUGHT
PROF. STEIGER SAYS FARE
WELL TO CONGREGATION
VIII Take Chair of Literature In
Shanghai College - Ten Years
Will See a Great
Change

| A farewell service was held at the
Church of the Neighborhood last even
ing for Prof, G. N. Steiger, who leaves
today for China, and who has acted as
lay reader at the church the past
two years.
Prof. Steiger leaves this morning for
San Francisco, where he will sail to-
morrow on the Manchuria. He goes to
Shanghai to take the chair of literature
In st. Johns college, a well established
Episcopal missionary college there.
Prof. Steiger goes as a teaching mis-
sionary, and while in China expects to
complete his studies for the ministry
and to be ordained there.
Rev. Thomas C. Marshall, the rector,
presided last evening and made a short
address. Prof. Steiger spoke of the
work to which he goes. He said:
Il have been given a chance to say q
few words of farewell this evening and
have been asked, in this connection, to
tell something Of what my future work
Is to be.
Hard though 1t is for me to say
goodby, 1 am indeed very grateful to
Mr.. Marshall for this opportunity of
taking leave from my friends and from
the little Church of the Neighborhood,
in which I have worked and helped the
last two years.
Leaves To-Day
II leave tomorrow for China and
will arrive in Shanghai about Sep
tember Z. When 1 will next be per-
mitted to speak to you I do not know,
although 1 hope to return for a vaca-
ton in about three years.
"AS to the work which 1 am to take
up, nominally am to hold the chair of
English literature to teach the young
Chinese minds to appreciate the beau
ties of Shakespeare, Milton and the rest
OF the great English writers. Actually,
however, there is a much wider field
open to me.
China is awakening. The Boxer
movement, the China-Japanese war
and the late war between Japan and
Russia have shaken the orient as
mighty earthquakes.
Ten years from now the men in
charge of affairs will be the men who
today are either studying in foreign
countries or attending the Christian
colleges in their own land.
who, then, has greater opportunities
to mold the destiny of a great nation
than he to whom God has given q
chance to work in the educational work
in that great country? 1 thank him for
this chance which has been given me-"

SOC0RR0 BANKER SAYS
QUAKE WAS EXAGGERATED
TUMBLING GIMME s THE ONLY
REAL LOSSES SUFFERED
New Mexico Now Has Eight Million
Sheep Grazing Within Her Con-
flnes-Irrigation Puts Prosperity
Into the Territory

''rhe reports which have been sent
out In regard to the recent earth
quakes in Socorro, New Mexico, have
been grossly exaggerated. ] was in So
corro less than a week ago, and the
total amount of damage done by the
shocks could not have been more than
$400," said S. Luna of Albuquerque.
Mr.. Luna is president Of the Bank of
Commerce, the largest financial insti-
tuition In Albuquerque and one of the
largest in New Mexico. and came to
Los Angeles on business.
1.-THE chimneys of a few OF the Oldest
adobe houses in Socorro were shaken
down, 1t is true, and the chimney of
the court house was destroyed but not
a soul was injured by the shocks. and
when | place the damage at $4O0 it is
a high eetimate.
Financial affairs in New Mexico
were never more easy. Money is easy
and everyone seems to have money
From the eighth position, as regards
sheep, New Mexico has risen to sec
ond position among the states and ter
rltories, and at the present time there
are more than 100000 sheep grazing
In New Mexico.
"The mining prospect seems better
than ever, and with the passing of
each year more mines are developed
and more ore sold. Irrigation is MAX
ing the land of the territory more val
liable, and where water is available
large crops are being produced.
What do 1 think of the joint state
hood? l rather fancy that the two
territories Will vote favorably upon 1t
when 1t comes to a vote In November.
At first, know. the people of Arizona
We're much opposed, but after the sem
ate approved of the plan the opposl-
tion quilted down to great extent
"of course New Mexico will vote ia
vorably by a great majority. 1t seems
comes TO a vote enough OF the voters
of Arizona will have been convinced
Of the worth of the proposition to carry
that territory also"

GREAT FEh
 OF FICTION Trouble iLooked For
 at Algeciras. THE POSITION OF GERMANY Wants Hand in the Policing of
 the Frontier. ItaIy's Position is Delicate, Being Placed in Aattitude of Having Played France and German Against Each Other.

London, Jan. 4.--According to official Information received in London from Berlin, Germany not only demands that the Powers shall participate in the re- forms in Morocco. but that the work of watching the frontier be divided among them thus realizing the fears expressed by Foreign Office official in an inter view with an Associated Press repre- sentative last Thursday. that the Ger man delegates might insist on regula- tions clashing with what France con- sidered her special privilege, for in- stance, the policing of the frontier.
 If Germany persists in this determi- nat.un In the conference, serious com plications are sure to arise, as France will resist and Great Britain will sup port France. Great Britain, while be- lieving that the conference will reach a satisfactory settlement, realizes that the German insistence will create complicated situation which will re- quire all the efforts of the delegates to remove, and In this 1t expects the sup port of the United States, Spain and Italy
 The British public is busy with the elections and Is not taking much tn- terest in the question. In official and unofficial circles the possibility of war is considered the remotest. even If the conference fails. particularly as those that are inspiring the German policy do not belong to the war party.

All of the injured are foreigners who were laboring in the quarries. The cause of the explosion is not known. but 1t Is supposed that "a box containing 100 pounds of the explosive fell from the top of another case while it was being warmed prior to being used for blasting purposes. and that the explosion of this amount set or the balance of the 5000 pounds.
 The building iff%svhfdh the dynamite was stored was at one end .os n asF quar- ry. in which about forty men were working. There were seven men in the building which was also the boiler room of the plant. Three of the men, who were instantly Killed. were at work in a trench about fifty feet from the building in which the dynamite was stored. The other two men were killed by the air concussion while working in a blacksmith shop close to that Tn which the dynamite was stored.
 Of the forty men at work In the quar- ry hardly one escaped Injury of some kind from the falling debris of the wrecked buildings, but only eleven of them were so badly hurt as to require assistance The building in which the dynamite was being warmed was en- tirely demolished. and all of the other structures. belonging to the plant were badly damaged. It is estimated by of- ficials of the company that the total loss to property will amount to $25. 1000.
 The force of the explosion was felt for twenty miles around and many windows were broken in houses stand ing within three or four miles from the scene of the accident.

 TarfR Laws.

Washington, Jan. 6.-In a session of five hours today the House placed on record a speech in favor of the Philip pine tariff bill. one against it, and 6 twenty-mlnute talk for tariff revision according to the Republican demand of Massachusetts
 MT. Hill of Connecticut occupied three hours and was listened to with the greatest interest in detailing the knowledge he gained from two visits to the Philippines; the last one as a member of the party of Secretary Taft last summer. He paid particular at tention to the tobacco feature of the measure, and explained away much of the misapprehension as to tho enor- nous products that might be expected from the islands.
 Their territory, he said, was small and their fertile lands still further lim- ited.
 MT. Wendell of Wyoming. who has led the light against the bill in the in terest of the beet sugar industry Of this country. spoke vigorously against the measure and against the policy of helping the Filipino people by grant ing them open markets in the United states. He said the passage of this bill would be the death knell of the beet sugar industry in the United states.

Claims That He Did Not Act Wlth
 Fraudulent Intent.
 Philadelphia, Jan. 6.-In the trial of John w. Hill. formerly chief of the Filtration Bureau. charged with forg- cry and the falsification of accounts for the benefit of certain contractors, District Attorney Bell today establish ed the fact that D. J. McNicol & Co. had exceeded by eighteen months the time limit specified for the completion of the Torresdale filter plant conduit. For this he said the firm was liable to a penalty of $212,O00. but the total contract was paid and the firm was not assessed for damages. The common wealth case was then closed and re- cess was taken.
 Tn his opening address former Dis trict Attorney Graham, principal coun- sel for Hill, stated that it was the de- fendant's intention to go on the stand and relate the entire story of the con struction of the filter plant.
 MT. Graham rehearsed the various counts and stated that the defense would disprove the Commonwealth's testimony that the contractors were paid for work not performed He re- viewed the evidence thus far sub mitted and promised to offset it by witnesses for the defense.
 MT. Graham characterized the testi- mony of Engineer Schaffhauser as un- worthy of belief because most of it was inspired by malice. He declared the defense would prove that after Schaffhausers discharge he had made threats against Chief Hill desbite his assertion under oath to the contrary Mir Graham concluded by declaring that Chief Hill had at all times acted by authority of the director of public works and was guilty of no fraudu- lont intent.
