CHINESE CREW
MUTINY At SEA
Four American Miners Aboard
Steamer LOnSdaIe Round
Up MalContentS.

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 21.-The steamer
Lonsdale. which returned this morning
from Salina Cruz. brought a Mexican
crew in place of, the Chinese crew TAX
en- south, the Chinese. who mutinied
when 120 miles from Salina Cruz, being
jailed. Had 1t not been for the timely
interference of four American miners,
who blocked the passageway leading
aft and cowed the Chinese with a Win
chester rife and two revolvers, there
would have been blOodshed. The Chi
nese rfngleaders confessed at Salina
Cruz the plan which was prepared
some days before, this being evidenced
by the fact that the hammer had been
filed from Captain Shadforth's revolv-
er, making ii useless when he tried to
fire at the mutineers, who were to cut
the Threats of the seven white officers
and throw them overheard. First Off
Ger Day was on the bridge and had
seen the Chinese sharpening their
knives and pickaxes early in the morn
ing.
Miners Blocked the Way.
When captain Shadforth went for
ward to see why they did not turn to,
Chinese quartermaster, who was at
the wheel, put it hard over and tried
geles lighthouse. The chief officer took
the wheel away and blew alarm signals
with the whistle. Meanwhile Captain
Shadforth had run aft, followed by a
shower of missiles. and the Chinese
chased after him, only to find four
American miners, who had noticed the
trouble, blocking the alley
way through the shelter deck with
pointed rifles and revolvers. When the
white crew, well armed, came to their
assistance, the Chinese were forced
forward and held at the points of re-
volvers until, with the assistance of the
passengers, the steamer was worked
into Salina Cruz.
Japs Refused Landing.
The Lonsdale brought thiPty-thre
Japanese from Mexican ports, but
owing to the recently enforced regula-
tons permitting immigrants to land
only when they come direct from their
home country or place of citizenship,
they were refused landing. Seventeen
were transferred at the wharf from the
LOnsdale to the outward japanese liner
Aki Maru, and the others will be re-
turned to Mexico.

CAUGHT WITH THE
GOODS ON THEM
ShOntS Family Annoyed" by
Customs Officials Who
Searched Residence. =

New York, Jan. Equitable goods
valued at between 81 200 and $500, on
which no duty was paid when they
were brought in from Europe by Mrs.
Theodore P. Shonts and her daughter,
were found by customs officials who
made d search in the Shonts residence
yesterday. This statement was made
today by a representative of Mrs
Shonts, who had been apprised OF the
result of the investigation. 1t was
said at the time, however, that no eff
fort at concealment had been made
when the family arrived; that the
twenty trunks which they brought in
were thoroughly examined by the Gus
toms officers at that time, and that
the only reason duty was not paid was
that none had been assessed.
Betrayed by Servant.
In the statement given out today. 1t
is said that the report to the customs
officials-was made in a spirit of spite
by a woman servant, who had been
discharged for cause, and Mr.. Shonts
regards the report as proven by YES
terday's investigation to have been
unfounded.
when the Shonts family returned
from Europe" said the statement,
they had with them twenty trunks
containing wearing apparel. There
had been purchases made abroad, but
every one of these articles had been
worn. 1t now appears that the GUS
toms officials have considered some of
these dresses that have been worn as
dutiable, but at the dock that discov-
overy could have been made if the in
spectOrS had properly questioned the
family
Mrs. Shonts stated further that de-
auctions allowed under the customs
law for each of the four members of
the family who brought in the articles
in question reduced the sum due to
about 1920.

In the Party's Interest.

He said he did come to Kentucky
not for Beckham. but for the Demo
cratic nominee, and that If McCreery
were the nominee for senator he would
be here speaking for McCreery.
Il am here" he said. because be-
lieve the Democratic party has a good
chance for success this year. 1 don't
know who the Democratic standard
bearer may be, but I know that ii
takes a Democratic senate and house
to uphold the president. l don't want
to be a president simply to sit in a
chair, but to do something for the peo-
pie.
"All the popularity of the Repub-
lican president has come from adop-
ton of Democratic principles and re-
form. We cannot rely much on Re
publican senators. We may get the
house. but il will require an over
whelming victory to get the senate. l
am hopeful we may make enough
gains to secure the senate for Demo-
cratic reform. On the vote of one
senator may rest the fate of the Dem
ocratic principles.

One Possible Relief.

For a generation we have had
government under corporate control.
This government was sold to the high
est bidder. and since that time a satur-
nalian feast has existed in Washing
ton. The only relief is a Democratic
triumph this fall, not only in the
White House, but also the house and
senate. The legislature of Kentucky
faces great responsibility, and
should arise to the occasion and elect
Democratic senator, on whose vote
the deliverance may rest
He said personalities should not be
allowed to figure in politics. He said
1t was wrong for Democrats to refuse
to support men just because they did
not want them. He said in 1904 he
took his medicine in Parker. Parker
was the man above all others he did
not want, but" declared Mr.. BRYAN.
he stood for more Democracy than
the Republicans did, and I accepted
him and did what 1 could for him.

Rear Admiral Baird. who for a time

made q statement before a subcommittee
Of the Senate District Committee that

and qualifications OF the board. It will

BRINGING HARTMAN TO BOOK
Government Suit May Not Be wholly
barren of Result.

From the New FORK Evening Post
It is wholly untrue that the Northern
Securities decision accomplished nothing
The conservative part of Wall street will
admit that a public service OF the highest
value was achieved. The problem, clearly
recognized by Mr.. Knox, was to stop the
deliberate plan Of few powerful capi-
talists for getting the whole railway en-
terprise of the country irrevocably into
their own hands. Through their invention
of the holding company" and through
their daring use of credit, they were
rapidly effecting the purpose of buying
up railways, regardless of the price pay
ing for them in bonds Of other railways
then lodging these other railways in the
hands Of corporation whose own stock
was Issued for them I'm such huge
amounts that the interests dominant al
the hour OF consolidation could never be
disl0dged. Mr. Hartman has used the
credit and surplus Of his railway to buy
stocks of other railways on a scale
Of unexampled recllessness. Purchase of
stocks. with view TO getting a voice in
the management if not complete control
has been carried to an extent which left
the public mind in absolute dismay as 10
the possible limitation Of the movement.
For the time. a very decided limit has
been set by the panic of 1907. for the
severity of which the Union Pacifc's
stock exchange operations we're very
largely TesponSible--a fact virtually ad-
mitted by Hartman himself. al the crisis
OF the panic, by his promise 10 consider
the matter of ridding his company of its
holdings of other railways. With manic
past. nothing further has been heard of
this spasm Of repentance, and the govern.
ments purpose now appears to be to find
now Tar the pressure of the law can be
applied. That the Sherman act is a very
imperfect means to effect that purpose
no one is likely to deny. But it may be
the best we have, and the results of the
suit in the way of breaking down these
unsound and reckless practices Of rail
way finance, cannot be wholly barren.
