RELIEF WORK SWAMI PED
Committees Can Not Take Care of
100000 Starving Chinese.

Washington. Jan. 30.-The appalling
conditions in China as the result of the
famine as told in Chinese newspapers
and other mail advices reaching the
state department. coupled with the
warning given by Consul General Rodg-
ers, of the possible effects of the out
breaks which daily occur in the fam
inc districts have attracted the atten-
ton of the government authorities and
developments will be closely watched.
One of the greatest dangers the re-
lief workers confront is an epidemic
In the great concentration camps which
have been formed by refugees, who have
fled from the stricken districts to the
south by the tens of thousands, the peo-
pie live, some of them only partially
clothed. others entirely naked, in mud
huts held together by mating. Medical
supplies and skill are badly needed In
these self formed camps, as we'll as food
and clothing.
The native officials and authorities
are doing their utmost to control the
situation. but the task is now far be-
yond them and outside aid is badly
needed. Relief committees have been
formed in various centers composed of
high native officials and foreigners.
Everything possible is being done, but
the task appears so gigantic that most
serious conditions will result before any
Roadway is made. The government has
opened public relief works where men
can secure employment. The grand ca
work on the Improvement being started
merely to give employment to some of
the starving. Estimates have been made
of the cost of feeding each starving
person and the total amount will reach
close to $40, 600 daily. This estimate is
based upon calculation that 1000 600
people are actually starving.
Some of the incidents of the famine
related in the Chinese press are most
revolving A story is told of one family
the mother and father and two chill
dren. The mother left home on a
search for food. While away, the faith
er despairing of aid. threw both chill
dren into the river. The mother return
ed and learning what happened threw
herself into the river and drowned.
The grief stricken father followed and
thus the whole family persisted.
The government is selling grain and
salt where it can. In some instances
the public selling places had to be
closed because of the great rush of ma
tives to buy. In Hisuchcufu in Decem-
Der three or four women were crushed
to death in a mad rush for food. The
price of vegetables has doubled and coal
and coke costs more than ever before

Representative KirtIand, ex-Printer.

Many years ago Kirkland wanted to
be state printer. He made application
for the job and received citrus limo
mum instead. Perhaps by this time. he
realizes that he was in luck, and cher
ishes that lemon among his keepsakes.
The victims of circumstance who oc
cupy the press table of the house, can
always tell when Kirkland has some
thing to say by the CLINT in his pale
eyes and the preliminary CULVER of his
thin buffalo-bilious mustache. On all
other occasions his lips are tightly
sealed as though he were retaining
with an effort, from expectora ting on
the carpet. When he talks he has some
thing to say.

RESIGNATION OF swETTENHAM.
London Public Still Believes That
Governor Is Out.

London, Jan. 30.-There is reason
here to believe that the resignation of
Sir Alexander Swettenham as gov

though the officials of the foreign Of
fee refuse all information on the sub
ject. This official reticence is at
tributed to a desire to complete the
arrangements for succession to the
post before announcing Swettenham' s
retirement. 1t is expected that the
latter will leave the island as soon as
details can be completed for handing
over the affairs of his office

There may be several rabbits in the
senate, but they do not seem to be in
the majority. and it occurs to an on
locker that said senate is just aching
for a chance to work out on the anti
Sunday baseball proposition which the
house spread on the calendar. The SEN
ators are not hampered, as a rule with
orders from their ''constits.' but one of
them treasures communication from
a group of home residents, which reads
as follows: Dear Senator: We hope
you can conscientiously vote against
that - anti-baseball law" The SEN
ator in question says that he can con-
scientiously deliver the goods.
