Ria AND TRADE RELATIONS
OF OTHER COUNTRIES ARE
THREATENED BY ATTITUDE

LONDON. Jan. Ia dispatch to
the London Times from Pekin calls
attention to- the great number of
Japanese soldiers still in Manchuria,
though the country is perfectly
tranquil. and makes complaints Of
their incivility to railway passen-
gers. The dispatch also gives in
stances of the Japanese forbidding
railway construction into Chinese
territory west of the Liau valley and
claims that it is impossible to recon-
cile this prohibition with any ma
tional Interpretation of the OPEN
door policy.
In an editorial on the Oriental
immigration problem the Times de-
plores the breaking up of the Indian
congress as tending to justify the
exclusion of Indians as we'll as other
Oriental races from the colonies, and
advocates the calling of commits
sion representative of all the colo
mics, India and the mother country,
for a preliminary investigation to
assist the next imperial conference
to deal with the subject of immigra-
tion.
1t suggests that the evidence
taken before such commission
might convince some of the colonies
of the impossibility of banding
against Oriental immigration, and
thinks that certain parts of the
British territories most suited to
! orientals and least suited to the
white mans habits might be espe-
cially reserved for Oriental immi-
grafton. The editorial. concludes:
"At present the Oriental races
realize our difficulties, but a swarm
ing in of even unarmed pauper:
cannot be resisted forever"

though there are many remaining
counties in Alabama where liquor

loon closing act went into operation
throughout the state today.
According to this law the night
closing hour in Mobile and Mont
gomery will be o'clock; o'clock
in the towns from 5000 to 10000
inhabitants, and o'clock in the
smaller towns. The prohibition
voted in this county last October
goes into force today. resulting in
the closing Of a total OF $50 sa-
looms in Birmingham. Bessemer and
Pratt City.
Another liquor law which be-
comes operative throughout Ala
bama today is the act prohibiting
the shipping Of liquor from wet to
dry territory. # prevents q. o. d.
by making the place Of
sale the destination, not the origi-
mating point.

NEW DIVORCE
LAW IN EFFECT

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 1.-The
new divorce law recommended by
the uniform divorce law commits
sion and passed by the recent ses-
sion of the New Jersey legislature
goes into effect today. The new law
does not change the statutory
grounds for divorce in New Jersey,
but It does make one very radical
condition. 80
This IS the provision to the effect
that If a person sues for divorce in
New Jersey on grounds furnished
in another state, the decree will be
refused if the offense IS not recog-
nized in the other state as sufficient
for divorce.
For instance, the South Caroli-
MAN will not be able to obtain d.
vorce In New Jersey on any ground
whatever. the offense taking place
IN South Carolina, because no di-
sorce is permitted in that state

LOST OR EATEN.
BY CANN|BALS
DIR. RICE, SOUTH AMERICAN Ex-
PIoRER, IS THOUGHT TO
HAVE LOST HIS LIFE AMONG
THE CANNIBALS

NEW YORK, Jan. Lost in the
forests of the upper Amazon, or
eaten by cannibals is the fate of DR..
Hamilton Rice of Harvard UNIVERSE
ty, whose work as an explorer has
attracted worldwide attention.
His friends hope that he has
merely been delayed by great diff
crlties of travel in the unexplored
country. but fear that he may have
fallen victim of the savagery OF
the inhabitants.
On Christmas day a letter written
by DIR. Rice in September, detailing
some of the difficulties of his latest
exploring expedition, was received
by the geographer's brother in Bos-
ton. Since then his friends in kthis
and other cities have been expecting
daily to hear Of his arrival at Ma
naos, on the Amazon, the nearest
point from which there is cable
communication.
DR., Rice, VINO is fellow of the
Royal Geographical society and a
member of the Societe de Geogra-
phie of Paris. left Bogota, Colombia,
July II, 1907, for his 150O-mile
journey through unexplored coun-
try.
Knew Dangers Of Journey
He had just returned from an ex-
petition with DR.. Hiram Bingham.
a distinguished South American ex-
plorer, to the headwaters of the ORR
noco. The trip on which he started
had been fully planned in advance,
and he was perfectly aware of the
dangers he was likely to encounter
from savage animals and still more
savage men.
II expect to reach Manaos not
later than November 49, he said to
Or. Bingham as they parted at Bo-
gotta. n shall cable you as soon
as l arrive there, and If you do not
hear from me by November 30, you
may give me up as having been
eaten
DR.. Rice referred to the fate of
Nestor Reyes, brother of the presi-
dent of Colombia, who was killed
and eaten by cannibal Indians on a
similar trip.
Explorer of Reputation
On Christmas day, 1906, as DR..
Rice and DIR. Bingham dined to-
gether in Caracas, they discussed
the Reyes expedition, and DR.. Rice
said, perhaps propheticaliy: II
wonder if will suffer similar fate
before another Christmas"
DIR. Bingham said that he received
no word from DR.. Rice. He had been
hoping to hear something ever since
the date set by his friend and CONF
1panion, and he is now great worried
by the absence OF definite informal
ton.
DR.. Rice, who comes of a we'll
known New England family, was
graduated from Harvard in 1898.
Before his graduation he Joined a
polar expedition and won fame in
the exploration OF spitzbergen. He
took his medical degree In 1891
from the Harvard Medical school.
Soon after this he made his first
Journey to South America, making a
"trip from Quito over the Cordilleras
to the Napo river, tributary of the
Amazon. 1t was in recognition OF
HIS work on this occasion that he
obtained the fellowship Of the Royal
Geographical society.

OF vision" came to him on the occa-

attend the Democratic national con-

thus states some OF the revelations
that have come TO him In the West:
THAT there Is keener civic pride
In the West than in the east.
That there Is less drunkenness
and profanity
THAT the men though less accu-
rately informed, are predetermined,
THAT refinement in manners and
conversation is marked,
THAT the most subtle humor is
quickly perceived and appreciated.
"That achievement is valued more
than money.
THAT the best music is known and
admired.
That woman suffrage is a success,
THAT the new architecture Is
charming and that tho cities are be-
ing rebuilt for permanence, With
wide streets. parks and other fine
features.
"That travel is comfortable, the
people are hopeful and hospitable,
and jealousy OF the East is no longer
prevalent"
