post in Seoul .and that when he re-
turned to the orient it would be as

and to the Japanese settler Korea, said
Sammons. is the land of opportunity.
In response to the question. What
sort of a place is II for Koreans? his
response was that they would have
good government Further than that
he would not discuss il. The japanese.
he said. are going into Korea at the
rate of 1000 a month. Most OF them

Koreans were not always willing
parties to the sale. but said that the
subject was one that he could not pur-
sue further.
He preferred TO speak OF the nber-
ality with which Japan was treating
those Americans who, under mining
concessions granted by the Korean en-
peror. were developing the mineral re-
sources of the hermit kingdom. The
American missionary schools are also,
he said. treated with great considera-
tion and are making good progress in
the work of education.
SammOns declared that 10 per cent
of Korea's importations are from the
United States and on a percentage
basis this made Korea the second best
customer that Uncle Sam has in the
orient. Standard oil products ard

but that there were other men whom
he would not pay that amount. Ihe
board was of the opinion that there
should not be any discrimination and
recommended that the company be de-
claired unfair. Since that report was
filed the manager agreed to pay the
minimum rate to all laborers, and the

OF the first beginning OF the business.
q. Did you send out testimonials
concerning these cures, etc, alleged

Z did not come into Court with Clean Hands,

the opium cure The only trouble
about II was neither OF us knew any
tn ng about It, At that time Kelley
was continuing his private practice,
which was absolutely necessary in
order to make as much money as he
could. as the business wasn't maGing

find bearing on the subject. and made
a careful study of the opium and
morphine habits. Every night Kee-
ley and | would get together i'm the
office and / would go over my resear-
ches with him. Some times | would
drive out in the country with him
when he went to see his patients, so
that we could talk IL over. And az
ter we had gotten something like a
definite knowledge of the opium and
morphine habit. the question was
what we should use first as an anti
dote. We experimental with a great
many drugs before we finally got a
mixture we thought would be OF any
use as a cure for the morphine hab-
IT, but even after We got to using

gold cure.

Q. Well. how would the partner
ship represent this Chord of gold
so iium was manufactured?
a. Why. from that material:
that was the basis OF the remedy.
You see. we were keeping up the fic-

tanned gold?
A. Constantly We were assailed
| by people claiming that there was
no gold in the remedy.
Q. Did you ever have A test case q?
A. Yes.
Q. What was that?
a. why, that was this way: Kca-
| ley thought we had better get an
authoritative statement that the
! remedy contained gold, so he sug-
gester to man called s. r. X.
| Prime, who lived about a mile from
! Dwight, who. by the way, had come

pie generally did not believe there

suggested 20 MIN that he take two
! bottles and have IL analyzcd by Pro-
| lessor Mariner, the celebrated analy-
teal chemist in Chicago.
O. Well. how was that arranged
now?
A. Well. It was necessary to have
| some gold IN The bottles for that
| purpose. so Oughton fixed up two
/ bottles with gold In them. and nut
the two bottles I'm row hat was hall
full Of bottles and they were the
/ last two bottles in that row. and
when we had everything ready we

naturally he selected ne first two
