ANGRY CLASH DURING THE
 HEARING OF ARIZONA CASE

Washington, January F.-For two hours today the House committee on ter ritories and the delegation of the joint Anti-Statehood league of Arizona engaged in "sparrlng contest which eliminated in a personal clash between Representa- tive Powers of Maine and Delegate Smith of Arizona. that concluded with an apolo- gy by MT. Smith The break came while R. A. Morrison of Prescott Ariz., was addressing the committee. Chairman Hamilton of Michigan had asked MT Nor rison many questions about inadequate taxation of mines and railways in Arzo- ma, to which MT. Smith objected When MT Powers began questioning MT. Nor rison as to the proportion of Mexican population in Arizona and New Mexico, Mir Smith again objected.

nounce the charge as false" MT. Smith retorted.
 You may impugn the motives of the chairman but when you impugn my mo- lives l shall resist
 MT. Powers replied emphatically: q shall ask all the questions I want to-"
 The committee room was in an uproar by this time and after Chairman Haml- ton called order and asked the members to be more calm MT. Smith offered an apology saying that perhaps he was mis- taken, but that MT. Powers question struck him as though inspired by parti sanship and not designed by desire for information.
 On account of the frequent Interruptions by members of the committee and prompt ings and interruptions by members of the Arizona delegation, MT. Morrison was un- able to make an extended argument. The feeling was so intense and the hearing So unsatisfactory that the committee de- cded that at the hearing to be held to- morrow morning all speakers shall be permitted to complete their arguments be- fore they are subjected to questions by members of the committee.

China's Hope for Reform
Many Americans Members of Body Seeking

The recent visit of the Chinese i'm
perial commissions to this country has
brought out, in a curious way, the fact
that there is a definite relationship be
tween the reform movement in that
country and certain manifestations Of IN
terest in this country.
American Officers for Army.
About two years ago there was much
interest in this country in the effort
of the Chinese reformers to enlist
American officers for the Chinese inn
periai army. Gen. r. \. Falkenburg. OF
San Francisco, was at the head of the
movement which was widely exploited
by Gen. Edwin F. English. of Iankton.
General English Travelled considerably
about the country making coatrac-s and
comforting commissions on young and
progressive Americans who had seen
service in the Spanish and Philippine
wars, under which they were. at the
proper time. to be called to military
positions under the Chinese imperial gov
eminent. to raise. {, ganize. and train a
great modern army tor that country.
Many contracts were made. bat moth

and the impression became general that
the whole movement was failure. If

Following this military enterprise. the

enlisted for the Chinese military service
were taken into IT,
This Order Of the Dragon represented
itself as having a highly benevolent
purpose. Its officers have within a fort
night sent out little booklet setting
forth it's principles. which declares that
its purpose is the regeneration and re-
organization OF China; that il wants to
open the door Of the country to modern
progress; that il deprecates such
troubles as the boycott and the anti
foreign movement now in progress: that
it believes il is rich and powerful
enough 10 be entitled TO a place among
the greatest nations. while il is in fact
denied that place because of its lack
