WARNED THE HOUSE
INDIAN Nsas4cRHTARY MORLEY AD-
 v1sES GREAT CARE.
Rritaia Liable to Be More Enabarraasea la Reference to Aslntfc Poases- sions Than Was Case i'm
 TranavaaI.

London, July 20.--In introducing the Indian budget in the House of Com mons today. Indian Secretary Morley sounded 8 warning note on the neces- sity of excluding India from the field of party politics
 The most expressing of Great Brit aims foreign relations were the Asiat- ic, those involving this country with China, Japan, Russia which was a great Asiatic as well as European power Any false step in India would send Great Britain m a confusion infinitely more dire and more disastrous than had the false step taken in South Af- rica.
 'Tndia's case in the free trade con troversy can be put in a nut she'll" he declared. .Her prosperity and comfort the growth of her trade and commerce, the solvency of India hang upon her exports. The United Kingdom takes Europe and the Far East takes 75 per cent. Thus when the peo- pie of Great Britain asked India for preferential duties they were asking her to discriminate against three-fourths of her customers"
 MT. Morley considered the time ripe for an advance in the improvement of the system of government of India. Everybody knew that there was a new spirit abroad in India. There might be discontent but there was no disaf- lection among the people and the pres- ent government of India was in full sympathy with the desires of the peo- pie for the introduction of more Wes- tern ideas.
 With this object in view, the viceroy was appointing commission to in quire how far the extension of the rep resentative element in the Legislative council. could be expedientiy carried out,
 The Indian Secretary also said he considered that the natives ought to be given greater access to the higher post in the administration of India and he believed in granting greater free dom of speech and meetings in order to make the administration of the country better and more efrective.
 In the course of his speech, MT Nor ley paid a tribute to the former vice roy, Lord Curzon of Kedleston and his Conspicuous. passionate and sels-sac- rifcing devotion to the interests of In dia," and in behalf of the House he ex- pressed sympathy with Lord Curzon fin the cruel blow which has desolated his hearth" referring to the death of L1dy Curzon.

A NERVY BURGLARY
GANG WORKED IN PRESENCE OF
 CROWD
Headed by Woman, Thieves Loaded Confents of Broadway Store on Trucks While Continental
 Hotel GQests Watched.

New York, July 2o.--With woman as their chief, a gang of burglars dar- ingly entered a wholesale clothing store a few doors from Broadway on POS Street late Wednesday night, car- ried out truck load of valuable ap- pareI while occupants of the Continen- tai hotel opposite. looked on.
 The woman directed the men of the gang in selecting the material to he taken. She accompanied them from the truck Into the store and followed each bundle of clothing out to the street There she superintended the packing of 1t on the wagon.
 All this Continental patrons saw. not suspecting that the store was being robbed. They believed the concern was moving and that the woman was of the work The place was that of L. A. Harris and Brothers at number 42 East 20th street
 The bright lights of Broadway It. luminated the entrance to the build ling and it would not have been possi- ble for the burglars to make the raid without being observed. for at all hours of the day and night persons fin the hotel across the street are awake.
 It is evident that the burglars had taken this into consideration and plan ned accordingly At II o'clock We'd nesday night they drove to the build ing in the truck A glass cutter and a jimmy were used to gain an en- trance. Then the doors were thrown wide open and the men went leisure ly about their work They lighted ev-
 electric light in the rooms and ba- gan carrying out bundle after bundle An inventory taken yesterday discloa ed that 1000 pieces were taken. among them 300 skirts and 250 rain coats, valued at $S.000.
 When the woman chief thought ev- ervthin9 worth taking had been load d upon the wagon, the burglars drove away. The robbery was not discover ed until yesterday.

REPRESENTATIVES, oRrEEa CAUSES OFFI--
 CtALg AEUCH TROUBLE.
War Department Werns Inspec<ors to Have Evidence Before Prosecu- ting Contractors For Viola
 tfons of Mandate.

Washington. July 20.--The executive offices of the various departments have already found themselves confronted with much diniculty in the application of the Presidents order in regard to violations of the eight-hour law by government contractors.
 The subject 10 very complex one and 1t is apparent that the Attorney General will be called upon to pass many opinions on the application of the law to the different classes of employees.
 given Instructions to the chief of en- gineers and the auartermaster general in whose charge are most of the pub lie works under the war department that their inspectors and other em- ployes in a position to know the con- ditions under which government work Is being executed by coutractors shall report to the department for certifica- ton to the Attorney General only such cases of violation of the law as they are certainly able to support by legal evidence.
 This instruction will probably affect q large class of government work where there is reasonable ground for believing that the employees work more than eight hours.
 Thus. for instance. where the depart
 
 where government work is being turn ed out. he will be expected to report any violation of the eight hour law. But fin the case of supplies, shoes and clothing. for instance, inspected only upon delivery. the department cannot know officially what conditions exist In the factory and offenders against the law in such cases will probably be prosecuted only through the produc- tion by labor unions of the necessa- ry evidence upon which to base suits.
 The question has been raised as to whether the decision affects work on naval vessels in private yards. The contractors strenuously insist that the law does not operate outside of government reservation and that the ship is their own property until it is turned over to the government There is a difference of opinion on this point between the government solicitors, but the navy department officials appear to believe that as the government pays installments of money for the ships as the work progresses upon them 1t is the actual owner of tho vessels.
 How the law is to be applied to ma terial purchased for government work is uncertain. Where the factory sets aside one department exclusively for government work the task will be easy. but where the government mate rial coAies out of the stock pile, such as dimention stuff, standard size plates, beams and the like, it would seem inl- possible to dlnferentiate and tell what part of the stock was for government use and what for private builders.

AMERICAN MEATS BARRED.
Germany Adopts More Stringent and

Germany Adopts More staingent and
 Prohihftive Inspection Laws.
 New York, July 20.--The Heralds correspondent cables as follows from Berlin:
 Notwithstanding Presidents Roose- velt's assurances that the new inspec- tion laws will guarantee the purity of American meat exports, I am in- formed that Germany will enforce new and more stringent regulations after September 16, against imports from American packing houses.
 Meat inspectors at various ports have been instructed that beginning on the date named, they are to scruti- nize glands of all imported meat cuts for tuberculosis and if symtoms are discovered, the meat is not to be per- mitted to enter.
 This constitutes a direct blow at what remains of the American meat import trade in Germany as the meat comes with the glands removed be- fore shipment, packers being unable to leave in the glands without spelling other cuts not destined for export. So the pieces in question will be practi- cally excluded from Germany after the regulations go into force. I al- so learned that the government has stopped the shipment of American can ned goods to troops in Southwest Af- rica although a supply until October. was contracted for via the free port of Hamburg.

CAUSES OF INSPECTION.
Germany Tells Why Stringent Laws
 Were AdODted

Berlin, July 20.--As tbe result of in- QuIries instituted owing to the report that the German government has de- cided to enforce such stringent laws on all American canned products as to vlr- tually exclude them 1t is learned that several recent seizures of meat unfit for food made at custom houses on the Russian frontier caused inquiries to be made by the customs authorities and the Prussian ministry of agriculture regarding the system of inspection.
 It was learned that the practice had been. ordinarily, either not to break a package or if opened not to cut slices of its contents for close examination. This causal inspection permitted 1t Is believed. considerable trade in diseased ana tainted meat and also in unborn calves.
 Changes in the regulations requiring close Inspection before the official stamp is used are in course of prepara- tion by representatives of the custe ms and agricultural authorities for sub mission to the Bundesrath.

 The peace commissioners adopted resolutions thanking the president of the United States and Mexico for their intervention. s
 The Central American war. which bade fair to involve four or more re- pubiics in addition to the two original 1y concerned. Salvador and Guatemala, began in May with the departure of expeditions from Salvador to assist Guatemalan revolution under the lead ership of General Toledo. Engage rnents with varying results were fought between the insurrectionary forces and those of the government of Guatemala until Salvador formally en- tered the conflict A little later a Guatemalan force intered Honduras. the resulting being to array that re- public on the side of Salvador.
 From tho moment the trouble passed beyond the phase of an internal dis turbance the government at Wash ington set about instituting measures <.- Aka1 1.f A(t IT a cruiser Marblehead was ordered from Panama to La Libertad with directions to report to Leslie Combes.

 At the samesftinne David E- rhomp- son. American Ambassador to Mexico, was instructed to make such repre- sentations to the Mexican government as might enlist It's efforts for the same end. Mexico's desire for peace be- tween its neighbors being well known. Mexico entered heartily into the pro- ject and its diplomatic representatives in Guatemala and Salvador were in- structed to cooperate with Ministers Merry and Combes.
 Guatemala. Salvador and Honduras agreed to an armistice beginning at o'clock the morning of July IS in order that representatives of those governments might meet with tho American and Mexican diplomats on board the cruiser Marblehead to con- slider terms for treaty of peace.
 The conference began July 19.. the cruiser then being on the high seas off the coats of Guatemala, the Mar biehead being practically neutral ter ritory. The negotiations proceeded expeditiously with the result that terms mutually acceptable to the three republics were arranged July 20.
