THE SHOESTRING MAN.
By DUNCAN N. SMITH

How does the fellow mortal live
Of live he does) and where
Who comes round selling shoestrings
At five and ten pairE
What Is the manner Of his Hfe7
What does he eat and drinE7
Has he g family and wife,
Pray did you ever think7
Has he a bare and dreary loft,
A room above a store.
"A tumbledown and battered shack
Far in the suburbs or
A more pretentious house and lot
Upon a modest street
win neighbors aRd lot Of things
That make the life complete?
You see him as he passes by,
So ansbtrusive and Eubdued.
AID n would be your brightest guess
That thought by him had been tabooed
Yet that may be a sad mistake
For he may have a view or two
On all the topics Of the day
And what the government should do
You cannot always gaugS man
BY how he gains his livelihood,
For he may have a batch Of facts
And In an argument make good.
And though his coat may ragged be,
Befitting his apparent rank
That Is not every time a guide
He may have money in the bank.

SAL VADOREANS ARE
 GREATLY AROUSED
Removal of Jenkins Causes a
 Sensation
SECRET WORK IS EXPOSED
Government of Salvador Has Filed Copies of Cable Messages With the Department at
 Washington.

Mexico City, July 6.-According to a special cabegram received today by the Associated Press office in this city from Salvador, the recent removal of the American consul general Jenkins, has caused great sensation in the official and diplomatic circles of the republic. An open accusation was made that Consul instigator of the revolution in Salvador.
 It is declared that these charges were conveyed to Washington and Inspector of Consuates Murphy was instructed to investigate the case. After threo- months investigation Inspector Murphy recommended that Jenkins be removed and he was consequently recalled.
 It was charged that during the recent war Jenkins delivered cables to secret agents of Zelaya, who were stationed in Salvador These cables, 1t is said, bore the signature of United States Minister Merry. The government always has de- manded an explanation from President Zelaya because of his unwarranted use of the name of n United States diplomatic officer. In support of the charges the Salyadorean government has filed at the state department at Washington copies of the cables which passed between Pres- dent Zelaya and his agents through the alleged connivance of Consul General Jenkins
 President Zelaya is stationing two thousand troops on the Salvadorean bor- der at the port of Cosiguila preparatory to a second invasion of Salvador.

Fears Break in Relations With
 America
WANTS LAWS AMENDED
Orinental Leader Declares That Many Objectionable Features of the Exclusion Law May
 Cause Trouble.

Mexico City. July G.-rhe most aggres- sive letter that has come from the pen of d Chinese regarding the United States exclusion act, is a document written by Kong Yu Wei leader of the Chinese reform movement, who recently left this city fot New York.
 The dc, ,ument was written in the form of letter to President Roosevelt. seek ing to enlist the Presidents aid in revision of the present laws. Just before leaving the city last week Kong Yu Wei gave to the Daily Record, an afternon paper published here. copy of this letter and authorized It's publication to- day.
 After reciting what the Chinese have done toward development of the west, MT. kong details the treatment the Chinese people have recelvd at the hands of the people of the Unitd States, and says:
 1.-Two decades of rigid enforcement Of the exclusion laws have brought about the ill-iwll of 4OO0O0,O00 people
 "A united Chinese nation will seek to assert it's rights and avenge its wrongs It's anger will be vented in ways that l dread to think of
 '''rhe time will come when a small
  grafton, and the friendly ties between our people be severed beyond remedy.
 Americans have been wont to condemn Russian cruelty towards the Jews How mucn more human has been America $ treatment of the Chinese?
 ''Oan civilized America reconcile such treatment of their fellow cratures with divine law? Courtesy and kindness should be recprocable without q difference be- l tween the treatment Americans reciVe in l China and that accorded Chinese in Amer l ica."
 Among the notifications he suggests to | the existing law Is the abolishment of | the objectionable features of identfiea- tion, such as photographing and body marks: no restriction as to ports of entry be made; and that certificates be issued l to Chinamen by Chinese chambers of l commerce and endorsed by American con suls should entitle Chinese to free entry.
 He asks that this be applied in the Philippines and Hawaiian islands.

 and three secretaries.
 The departHre of the chancellor is very different from that of last summer, whS1 1t was not known whether he ever would recover from the illness that had attacked him. or if he would be strong enough po- litically to overcome the powerful intri- gues against him among members Of the court, led by Prince Phillip Zeulenberg whose downfall from imperial favor and dismissal from the court occurred Tn June.

 minister of interior, with whom coolness
 and differences of opinion existed, has

HaVWO0d's Counsel Consult Him
 in Jail 
STEVE ADAMS NOT CALLED
Defense Fear That Testimony of Adams Would Open Up Way for Prosecution to Bring In His
 Repudiated Confession.

Boise, Idaho, July 6.-Counsel for the defense in the Haywood murder case. held ar extended conference today, both at their own downtown offices and in the cell of Haywood, Mover and Petit bone, st the county jail, and it was stated afterward that it would be Wednesday next before Haywood takes the oath as witness in his own behalf.
 The programme as it now stands, is to begin Monday morning by reading the dispositions taken at San Francisco, as to the explosion at the house of Fred F. -.aley, the minin.. operator. These depo- sitions are to be supplemented later with the evidence of an expert in explosives.
 After the dispositions are put in, there will be additional testimony to show that before he fled from the Couer D Alenes in 1899 Orchard attempted to sell his interest in the Hercules mine, and then there will be showing as to the movements and ac -lons of Jack Si.npkins, when he went to Denver in the fall of 1905, after hav- ing parted with Orchard at Caldwell.
 This will probably conclude the case, with the exception the testimony of Haywood and Mover, and it is believed that the latter can be reached by Tues dag afternon.
 Steve Adams will not be called by the delense To call him would open the way for the state to get his repudiated con- tession before the jury, and it is deemed better strategy to avoid this The di- rect examination of Haywood will, ac- cording to the statement of counsel for the defense be very extended. It is claim e. that there will be no limits established for his protection, and that the gate will be open to the fullest and widest cross examination that the prosecution desires to make. Haywood, himself, will explain tn. the s10O sent to Jack Smpkns nine days before the Steunenberg murder was the balance of a federation expense ae- count. that Simpkins left with Haywood to be forwarded to him at his home in Spokane.
 me presentation of the states case in rebuttal will probably commence on Thursday next and be carried over into the succeeding week.
