Alarming Reports Come from
Famine Stricken Districts
in China.
NEW YORK TO SEND HELP
SQUARE MILES is AFFECTED
WHOLE COUNTRY Is COVERED
WITH WATER.
Publishers Press. ]

New York, Feb. ia communica-
tion was received by E. r. Johnston,
OF the Christian Herald, today, from
prominent civic society in China to
the effect that unless immediate sue
cor be sent to the famine sufferers in
the district north of the Yangste riv-
er, the lives of 100000 starving Chi
nese farmers will be snuffed out with
in a few weeks.
Immediate steps will be taken by
charitable institutions Of this city to
send relief to the sufferers.
1.-The famine in north China is the
most terrible in the history of the
world" said Mr.. Johnston. Not even
the famines of India can compare with
it, 1t covers an area of more than
10000 square miles, with population
of 100000. 1t is inevitable that
this whole population will be wiped
out unless relief be sent at once.
Last October and November it rain
ed in this district for forty days with
out cessation. Every crop was ut
terly ruined The Chinese of that sec
ton rely for food entirely upon what
they raise. They are mostly small
land holders or tenants.
Country Covered with Water.
"The whole country was covered
with water, and, as there were no
crops there was no seed for a new
planting. In December 100000 of
the ten million inhabitants were des-
titute and thousands had died. BY
February /, the whole population was
starving and the suffering was terri.

Late Chairman of Canal Com

SAYS SAFETY is WANTED
DECLARES PEOPLE WOULD RATH-

THEIR SYSTEMS RATHER THAN
CUT THERE RATES.
IPublishers. Press.1

New York, Feb, 15.-Theodore p.
5honts, formerly chairman of the
Panama Canal commission and new
head of the New York Interborough
company was the principal speaker
at the banquet of the Iowa society
at the Waldorf Astoria tonight. His
subject was transportation problems
of the day and his speech in part
was as follows:
1.-The attitude of the present nat
ional administration on the question
of rates has not been to secure their
reduction, but to prevent unjust dis,
elimination. Railroad rates in the
United States are lower than any
where else in the world while the ser
vice. under normal conditions, is bet
ter. / do not think that the public Is
demanding cheaper transportation SO
much as it is demanding safe, reliable
and adequate transportation. In the
matter of improvements the railroads
of the country, have been pursuing
a hand to mouth policy which has
proved costly to themselves and irri-
tating to the public. Before improve
ments necessary to relieve existing
capacity has been exceeded by the
growth of traffic and this has been ir-
ritating to the public because at no
time in recent years has the public
been able to get free from the delays
and annoyances of a continual state
of congestion. The result is that to-
day, when railroads are confrontee
with conditions requiring more COM
prehensive improvements than ever
before, they are confronted with a
state of public mind extremely hos
tile to themselves.
Crop of Receiverships.
"The situation is grave one. If
the various states continued arbitrari-
ly to reduce rates, as some of them
are doing, and the various labor or
CARNATIONS continue to press their
demands for increased wages and
shorter hours, the next unprecedented
crop harvested in this country will be
a record breaking crop of receiver
ships.
There is no doubt the attitude of
certain railroads officials has had
something to do with the public hostil-
ity Not long ago some railroads
were operated apparently Tor the sole
benefit and convenience Of those in
charge of them. The ideas that the
owners had any rights the officer of
these properties were bound to res
pect never occurred to the latter; and
so far as the public having any appre-
ciable interest in railroad problems
was concerned. this was to them an
undreamed '.irridescent dream" The
concentration of greater control in
fewer hands, and the consequent as
sertion of power, has of late given
the owners much larger voice in
corporate management, and the senti
ment which President Roosevelt re.
fleets, but which he did not create, is
securing for the public the consider
alton and treatment that it deserves.
In fact it is becoming more and more |
apparent that those officials who best
