Followed With Great Interest in Far
East-China and japan,

LONDON, September PA dispatch to
the London Times from Peking today says
that the labor troubles at Vancouver are
being followed with much interest in the
far east, where an analogous problem has
now arisen between China and Japan. A
Japanese imperial ordinance No. 352, Of
July 27. 1S99 vigorously forbids all foreign
ers, whether European, American or
Chinese, from working in Japan as labor
ers in agriculture, fishing, mining, manu-
featuring and other classes Of industry
outside the narrow residential settlements
defined in former treaties, except by spe-
cial permission Of the local authorities. The
dispatch adds:
"Such permission, we are informed here
is never given. Article five of the ordinance
provides that any Chinese working with
out the necessary permission are liable to
expulsion from Japan. Considerable num-
bers Of Chinese laborers were recently in
troduced to work on the government rail-
ways Of japan by certain japanese con-
tractors who had not previously obtained
this necessary permission.

LONDON, September 21.-Formerly Lon

but whether because of the climatic con-
ditions this year or motors, which make
people independent of seaside hotels, Lon
don Is now filled with fashionable Ameri-
cans. Friday Mrs. Marshall Field. Mrs.

Mr.. Stern, a member Of the board of edu
cation of New York, has developed a facul-
ty for diagnosing his countrywomen. He
declares that he can always tell an Ameri-
can woman who has been to Paris, and Is
passing through London on her way to
America She wears a strained, anxious
expression, which has been acquired by days
of uncertainty as to whether her new gowns
would come in time for her to catch the
train.

year ''diabolo' RACES, and kite flying flour

Dean Of American Londoners.
For a number Of years Morgan Rich
ards, father of the late Mrs. Craigie, has
been recognized as the senior American in
London in point Of residence, but icono-
clasts In the American society. through
researches, have just discovered that he is
not entitled to the distinction, which
rightly belongs to Charles Churchill, an
importer of engineering tools. Richards
has been a resident of London for forty
years, but Churchill came to England in
August, 1862. In celebration of this dis
covery, leading Americans have arranged
to give Mr.. Churchill dinner October 8.
Mr.. Churchill, who is now vigorous
septuagenarian, told a reporter of The Star
that he was the first man to introduce
American engineering tools in England.
When he arrived here the only American
tools 1t possible to obtain were
reapers, which had been introduced some
years previous. He started in business
assisted only by Office boy. He found
intense prejudice against Americans and
American products. From his small staff
Mr.. Churchilis business developed, and
now his Office force numbers 120.

Purchase Precipitated Suit.

The suit was brought by District Attor-
ney Thames as the result of the purchase
of an independent compress at vicksburg
by the Gulf Compress Company. 1t was
alleged by the state that this compress was
purchased IN violation Of the Mississippi
antitrust law, which prohibits one corpo-
ration from purchasing the interests Of a
competitive corporation. For defense the
Gulf Compress Company set up that the
Vicksburg independent plant was purchas-
ed from an individual. to whom 1t was cold
short time previously by the old corpo-
ration.
Back of the proceedings are numerous
complaints from cotton men of Vicksburg
and the other sections Of the state over
the alleged discrimination Of the Gulf Com
press Company in handling cotton.
When the district attorney filed his suits
here temporary order was issued by the
chancellor restraining the operation of all
plants owned by the company in the state.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SARANAC LAKE, N. Y, September 21.-
Israel Dukett, resident Of Forest Home,
has been missing for three weeks. and his
family and friends fear he has met with
an accident or foul play. Dukett left home
to go fishing and shortly after entering the
woods he disappeared as effectually as If
the earth had opened and swallowed him.
Searching parties have been out almost
continuously ever since his disappearance,
but not trace of him has been discovered
a reward of $50 has been offered by Super
visor Pine for the recovery Of the body,
but beyond this the authorities have taken
but little interest in the case
Dukett was about thirty-six years of age,
and has always lived in the woods. He is
familiar with the entire forest tract and
was in good health. His cousin, Aleck
Lashaway, who started out with him, but
left him an hour after they had entered the
woods, says that Dukett started alone to
go to Branck pond to get some hooks, but
said he would be back at o'clock that
afternoon. This was on Sunday, September
l. Since he and Lashaway parted In the
depths of the forest not a trace Of Dukett
has been found.
Had $50 With Him.
II Dukett has met with death in the
woods, as many fear, his body should have
been found long before this, for the search
ers declare that they have been over. every
foot Of the ground. If he is dead, others
contend, his body must either have been
buried or sunk in the waters Of one Of the
lakes.
Duhett was married seven years ago. He
has a wife and three children. Mrs. Dukett
declares that her husband was never lost
in the woods as he knew every foot Of the
forest. She fears he has met with foul
play, but accuses no one. She says her
husband had $50 with him when he left
home There is a small mortgage on their
home, and he was saving to make pay
ment on the mortgage. He feared to leave
the money at home on account OF the
danger of fire.
Friends of the missing man have con-
suited spiEitualists and fortune tellers, and
these have told that Dukett Is dead and
will be found buried in the woods. One
fortune teller, more explicit than the others;
has told that his dead body will be found
hurled under a pile Of leaves in a lumber
camp. with a bullet hole In the head.
