BEFORE
TIE COMMITTEE
Ask That There Be No Re
duction of the Tariff on
Glass Products.

PITTSRURG. Nov. 2S-One OF the
most important meetings OF window
glass men held this year took place
Saturday evening at the Fort Ptst,
when the manufacturers and leaders
of all the workers ganlzatfons took
up the subject of wage rates and then
arranged for n hearing before the
congressional committee IN Washing
ton. D. c.. today. at which time train
evislon affecting window glass is be-
ing. considered. 1t was determined 20
have a strong delegation of glass-
workers and glass men at the hearing,
and com mittees OF each are present
Myron L. Case and ]. r. Johnston
o fthe manufacturers and the presI-
dents OF the various workers organi-
cations are to attend. 1t was stated
that there was general ignorance of
the attitude of the committee on low
ering the tariff on window glass. but
the possibility of such a step being
taken is what concerns the trade.
AT present the window glass trade
is in precarious condition aud any
reduction in the present tarin would
mean it's destruction. SO far as the
workes are concerned for the lower
tariff would mean lower prices and
lower wages for the men. who arc
now barely able to exist at the com-
petItiye prices in force.
In addition to this matter the sub
ject 70 rtlle proposed formation Of a
company to take in all OF the exist
ing Independent window glass manu-
facturers to meet the competition OF
the machine factories was discussed.
Mr.. Case said that the matter had not
advanced sufficiently to call another
meeting OF the nanufac turers. but
was moving along in a manner that
made 1t appear that such a call would
be issued in the near future. and with
abundant evidence that the plan
would then go through In fact. there
is said to be but one factory standing
out against the proposition at this
time.

CHINA SENDS
MANY GIFTS
By Special Commissioners
Who Has Just Arrived
Here From Home.

Tang Shao vi. the high commits
sioner of the Chinese Empire to the
United States, who came so many
thousand miles to thank the United
States government for RENTING
part of the Boxer indemnity, is one
lof the most brilliant and capable men
of the Flowery kingdom. I'm fact,
he is American in many ways, hav-
ing received his early education at
Springfield, Mass. He arrived there
in 1874 when twelve years old be-
came guest OF the family of E. G..
Gardner, but later moved to Hart
ford, Conn, where ne attended the
high school, preparatory to his en-
trance into Columbia University at
New York. He was attending that
university when he was recalled to
China in 1881.
Tang Shao vi is not only the
bearer of letters and rare presents
to President Roosevelt and other Of
ficIals of the American government,
as a token of China's esteem and
gratitude, but he is commissioned to
observe and absorb all he can con-
corning the commercial and financial
systems OF the United States, so
that upon his return his country
may profit by what he has learned.
After his education in this coun-
try. Tang Shao vi was made man
ager of the Imperial Railways in
North China and later became Am
bassador sotThibet, ~nere he adjust
ed successfully a difference between
England and Crina over the perpet-
ual Thibetan question. Later. he
was made minister to England and
then became mandarin of a Man.
churian province from which he was
promoted to the board of foreign af-
fairs.
At present Tang Shao VI is direc-
tor general OF railways of the Chinese
Empire. high commissioner of GUS
toms and member of the grand
council which governs tho nation.
While Tang Shao VI for "A time
was an ardent progressive, he Is now
identified with those whose motto Is
China for the Chinese" But THOSE
who krow him best assert that this is
simply diplomacy with him, that he
firmly believes in progressive and oc-
cidental civilization but he realizes
that he can hope to bring it about
only by degrees.
That his visit to this country means
more than the mere presentation Of
letter of thanks from the emperor,
is thoroughly understood. not only to
master the lntricacies OF the Ameri-
can financial system but to adopt 1t
to the peculiar conditions that exist
in the FIowery Kingdom.

Salvation Army Officer Here
Springs a Big Sensation
in This City
MAYOR IMPOSES FINES
Capt. Slayton Claims to Know
the History of the Couple
Last Several Years.

General w. 3. Mobley, head OF
the Gospel Army. with headquar-
tiers In Washington. D. C., and a
woman named Maise bpt giving her
name as Hart. were Before Mayor
3. ]. Wood Saturday evening, on
complaint of Captain ]. r. slaytou
of the local Salvation Army corps,
charged With living together unlaw-
fully
Captain slayton furnished the evil
dence in the case and General Mob
ley and the woman were fined, hav-
ing to pay all told $3.50, after
which they were released from GUS
.tody.
The arrests were made on a sta
ton street car as they were going to
the sttaton to leave the city for Graf
ton. 1t was brought out at the trial
that he had tried to rent rooms at
Vannort's boarding house for himself
and woman, as well as at other
places.
Speaking of the case Captain Slay-
ton of the Salvation Army says he
has known the couple a number OF
years. He knew them, when he was
a detective, belonging to the United
States detective bureau. The woman.
he says, is the wife of drunkard,
and General Mobley has a wife in
Kansas, who Is insane.
According to Captain Slayton the
commissioners at washington prac-
ticalIy ran Mobley out of that city,
owing to alleged fraud practices. In
order to do this they had to curtail
the privileges of other and legitimate
orga nizations, but at last accom- p
lished it.
Captain SIayton gays Mobley so
llcts money at places but never ac-
counts for it and thus obtains
money under false pretenses. He
says the practice hurts and brings
into disrepute the Salvation Army,
which is conducted on honest prfnci-
pies. and that 1t is the duty Of the
Army to run down and prosecute
persons engaged in such frauds.
or his own work here Captain
exhibited books, statements,
checks and reports, showing the ma
ture of the work done here, the ac-
of all the money collected,
the itemized reports of the relief and
religious work done and stated that
once every three months division
officer comes here to inspect the
books and the work. These reports are
made out every week by Captain
and sent to Pittsburg, thence
theN. go to Cleveland and then to
New York, where the New York
Auditing Company, one of the larg-
est and best in America, audits them.
The action against Mobley and the
woman was made by Captain Slayton,
he "a VS., for the protection OF the pub
lie and the preservation of legitimate
religious and charitable work,
General Mobley ana the woman
left here for Grafton after they had
been released from custody.
