COrsican commits a crime and gets to
his blessed island, he can stay there
for me. To arrest him the gendarmes
might have to kill his whole tribe:
they hang together like flock of wild
hogs"
Yes, too much. Now I'll tell you
what l want you to do for me, Emory.
l want you to act as buffer"
"A buffer agin what?"
Against the intangible. l haven't
settled exactly against whom, but
listen to my story. 1t won't take over
half an hour. Then you'll know how
to act"
Rapidly, but under his breath,
Barnes tells the American detective of
the extraordinary, uncalled for and
mistaken Corsican blood feud that he
fears instead of having been satisfied
two nights before by the death of two
men, has been increased and extended.
During the first of his story, Emory
beams upon him with the genial smile
of a man expecting ducats. During
the latter part of it, his face grows
worried, several times he nervously
wipes the perspiration from his brow,
and squirms all over his seat uneasily.
At the close he shudders: Gee whiz,
you want me to put my finger in a
regular Corsican vendetta? Not on yer
blooming life! Not for all the rhino
in Barring Brothers. Besides, women
sometimes take hand in these affairs
and play the very devil"
Eyes, it's because one unfortunate
lady is already in this affair and an
other may be drawn into it I speak to
you," implores Barnes. Il know money
won't tempt you, Emory, but a coun.
trywoman, or rather one who will be
c0untrywoman-"
"Oh, you mean the future Mrs.
Barnes of New York. Well, for her
sake, hang me If don't go you!"
THANK you!" Barnes gives Emory
"a grateful grip, adding, earnestly:
Now, let's look over this affair.
There's money enough in the pockets
of one or two of these people to carry
the feud to the ends of the earth. A

thought had killed her brother to

will attend no banquet in Georgia
at which wine is served He set n
precedent for this course when he de-
Clinod to attend the annual banquet
of the Virginia Society of Atlanta to-
night.
Some days ago the Governor ac-
cepted the invitation TO attend the
banquet and respond to a toast, but
today he learned that wine would be
served and Immediately wrote to the
officers of the society saying he could
not attend The Governor says it is
very probable that to serve wine at
public banquets in Georgia is a VIC
lation of the rigid prohibition law
now in force and as it is his duty to
enforce the law he does not think he
should attend a function where the
statutes will probably be violated. The
Virginia society regretted Governor
Smiths absence. but the banquet was
a success and wine was served.

Two hours Of ti"esome toll marked

for the various departments of the

to handling such bids and don't know

Discussion resulted in an agreement
to that effect.

in that he wanted an authorization for
$500 and more for goods supplied and
work done for the department, whereas
The claims had not been written out on
regular forms and put in before the

was explained by Harvey, Cox and Ar

been for burying the otherwise poor
dead and that the police could not all
ways tell just when man was going
to die. The chair conceded this, but

JAPAN KEEPS
HER PROMISES
REPORTS SHOW
THE TOXIC IMMIGRATION RE
STRATNT is EFFECTIVE.

WASHINGTON, January 2O.-Japa-
nese emigration to America is decreas-
ing. According to official reports re-
ceived by the migration Bureau the
falling off for December, 1907, was 3
23l, as compared with December, 1906.
This is regarded by the immigration
authorities as proving that the immi-
grafton restrictions placed upon the
japanese last spring are proving ef-
fective.
While the immigration of Japanese
during the past eight or nine months
has shown an increase over the cor
responding period of last year, it is
believed by the immigration of Japan
to this country has been checked. No
doubt is expressed by officials Of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
that the Japanese Government is using
every possible means within its pow
er to prevent the coming to this cOun-
try of Japanese laborers and coolies.
