SYMPATHY FOR SAILOR.
Taeoms.ns Give Money to Send Hineto
His Sweetheart. -

TACOMA. Wash, Nov. i22.-David
Laidlaw, steward on the British ship
Strathearn confined in the Pierre
county Jail ia Tacoma for hearing as
to his sanity, will be released and sent
to his home in Scotland. For months
Laidlaw has refused to explain the
cause of his dependency and queer
actions, merely begging that the ships
officers give him his release. To a
prisoner in Jail was confided the fact
that he had promised to wed a girl
in Scotland in September, and that
when he applied for his release from
the ship it was denied him. He re-
fused to have anything to do with his
shipmates and this was taken as a
sure sign Of insanity. He was ar
rested upon arrival of the Strathearn
at Tacoma.
Prominent Tacomans investigated his
story. found it to be true, raised a
fund and will send d4a1dlaw back to
Scotland and tis sweetheart the au-
thorities having consented.

MS KEPT
FOR JAPANESE
Lille Brown Men Worked
Standard Oil Octopus
SALARIES BUT NO SERVICES
AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY
WAS ALSO FORCED TO PAY
TOLL FOR TRANsAcTING
BUSINESS IN ORIENT.
SALARIES BUT NO SERVICES

VANCOUVER, Nov. 22-How the
Standard Oil and American Tobacco
company were compelled to recognize
the fact that they were strangers in a
strange land and had to submit to
the levying of tolls which they would
have scorned to submit to in their
home lands was told late yesterday on
oath, to Commissioner King who is
investigating the Japanese problem,
by ]. H. Bathgate, for many years a
resident of Japan.
He told how the Japanese govern
ment held up the Standard Oil by
compelling them to- merge their Japa-
nese company with a paper native con-
Germ and forced them to put number
of Japanese directors and officers on
company pay rolls at high salaries for
nominal service. The Standard ac-
cepted the terms and did so.
The Japanese success with the
Standard caused them to work the
same scheme when the American To-
bacco company asked privilege to do
business in Japan. They forced the
American Tobacco company to merge
with Mural Brothers, a Japanese firm.
while the opposition of the govern
ment is not open," declared Bathgate,
almost insurmountable obstacles are
put in the way of foreigners who wish
to do business in that country. The
policy of Japan is to keep Japan for
Japanese"

NOT BOTHERED WITH PAN|Cs
CHRISTIANS TRAVELLING TOWARD
CITIES WHERE STREETS ARE
LINED WITH GOLD.

In the course of his sermon last night
Evangelist Hart turned his thoughts
toward the money panic and in as
suring Christians of the future life he
said:
We are travelling toward a city
where the very streets are lined with
gold and where money panics can
never come"
The text for last nights sermon
was taken from Zachariah, 9:12, Turn
We to this stronghold, We prisoners of
hope. even unto this day I declare I
will render a double portion of my
blessing unto you"
The sermon was on the future re-
ward of the righteous and the punish
ment of the wicked. Both were por-
trayed in strong colors and contrasted
in such manner as to make everyone
want to be good.
