Buffeted by Squalls, Crippled and
Adrift, Tired Out Crew by Des-

from Sinking
By Associated Press.

TACOMA, WASH, Aug. 1s.-With a
cargo of black powder for the Du Pont
de Nemours Powder company, the
American barkentine Good News ar
rived in from Wilmington, Del, after
tedious and eventful passage of 200
days.
The vessel had been through severe
weather off Cape Horn, where she
struggled forty days to get into the
Pacific. However, she was not dam
aged at that time.
On May 26, when off the latitude of
Valparaiso, a sudden squall carried
away all the yards and practically all
of the sails.
For days the crippled vessel was un-
able to make much progress, while her
wornout crew worked to fix up jury
rig.
New sails had to be cut and bent.
When she arrived the vessel had fore
topgallant mast, mizzen topmast and
other parts aloft missing. She carried
but one yard, a spare. topgallant spar
improVised as a foreyard.
Captain Peter Erickson and twelve
men comprise the crew. The vessel was
long overdue and quoted at SO per cent.

DECLARES CHINA

CHINESE EDITOR POINTS TO
NEED OF FRIENDSHIP
Publisher of Leading Paper In FIowery
Kingdom Believes We Could Be
Much Benefited by john
ing Hands
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, Aug. 1S.-Li Sun Ling, the
Chinese editor of the China Mail, who
originated the idea of an alliance be-
tween the United States and China,
during the course of an interview yes
terday affirmed that China is the log
ical ally of the United States and de-
clared that Germany was not fitted for
an alliance with the United States,
and that she would be unable to rem
der help in the east.
Further, he declared an alliance with
Germany would arouse the hostility
of Japan and Great Britain, the most
powerful factors in that part of the
world.
On the other hand, he continued,
China would be able to afford COM
mercial facilities to the United States
and In event of war the Chinese army
would be sufficient, added to the forces
of the United States, to overbalance
the power of Japan.
In addition in case Great Britain s
treaty obligations forced her to join
with Japan, the German anti-English
sentiment, Lii Sun Ling declared, would
certainly lead Germany to throw her
sword in the balance and dictate the
result of the struggle

What the attitude of Mrs. Hams will
be is Of paramount interest and inn
portance to the lawyers for the Hams
brothers and to the district attorney.
Rumors were rife today that Mrs
Hams will drop her hostile demeanor
toward her husband and will take her
place at his side when the trial comes.

CHINESE SHRIMP DEALER
GIVEN LIBERTY BY JUDGE

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ia writ
of habeas corpus directed to William.
]. Biggy, chief of police of San Fran
cisco, was filed in the United States
circuit court today in favor of All Sing,
a Chinese shrimp dealer. 1t is alleged
that All Sing was about to ship fifty
seven barrels of dried shimps to Call
lao, Peru, when the shipment was seized
by the California fish and game com
missioner and the petitioner was ar
rested and thrown into prison.
All Sing contends this is violation
of his constitutional rights in that the
constitution provides that congress is
the only body which may make laws
regulating trade between nations and
that under the federal law there is no
objection to the expectation of shrimps.
District Judge Van Fleet issued the
writ, making it returnable before Aim
at 10 a. m. Monday.

MANY VOCALISTS'
THROATS TESTED
AFTER FAILURES
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Chorus sing
ers had field day yesterday in the
Manhattan opera house, and for about
five hours tall, short, brunette and
blonde girls sang to prove their abili-
ty to become members of the grand OPP
era chorus. An accompanist sat at a
piano and Oscar Hammerstein sat at
his desk, and between these two the
voices were tried one after another.
The impresario had decided to find
out why those who failed were lacking
in voice, and to this end DR.. Frank E.
Miller, a specialist, was called. He sat
in darkened room, fortified by re-
flector and numerous instruments, and
the unsuccessful applicants filed before
him. He examined throat after throat,
catalogued the ailments and explained
why the voices were hampered and
robbed of beauty.
1t was a novel experiment. DR.. Mil
Ter also accounted for the voices of
the successful ones. 1t was new idea
of hunting a grand opera chorus along
scientific lines.

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 1s.--In his annual
address today to the members of the
National Editorial association Presi-
dent H. B. Warner asserted that in spite
of the frequent charges of corruption
against the press it was the newspa--
pers that first cried stop, thief!' and
were chiefly responsible for the aWak-
ening of the public conscience.
Mr.. Warner severely arraigned the
paper trust for forcing it's product upon
the newspaper at its own prices.
1.-THE paper trust is murderer ana
not hero" said President Warner. 1t
is criminal and it's tendency is to un-
dervalue human life"
Mr.. Warner urged strong organiza-
tion to combat the paper trust and es-
tablish the justice of the newspaper
demands.
Past President E. w. Stevens of Co
lumbia, Mo-, who has just returned
from a tour of the world, stated the
United States has the greatest news
papers in the world. I'm fact, the ideal
newspaper" he said.
