Buffalo, N. Y, June 16.-Major Rich

tnRton. d, c., and President OF the In
transitional Association OF Chiefs of
Police. In opening today's convention OF
that organization declared that foreign
and domestic preventive detective In
torests call for the adoption OF the
closest relationship and liberal inter-
change of information and Identity OF
action.
IT therefore occurred to me-" he
continued, that the general govern
ment should. by appropriate resolution,
accompanied by provision for entertain
ment. tender an Invitation TO foreign
governments that they delegate their
respective police heads to gather In a
police congress with those OF the Uni
ted States. which would prove an I'M
portant seconding of the EFFORTS car
ried on by this association, without ex-
pense to the state or general govern

quite a commotion was caused at the
police chiefs convention today at noon
by the reading OF a paper by Chief
FRED Kohler, OF Cleveland, o., describ-
ing his golden rule" system and an
effort by some OF Kohler's admirers to
have adopted a resolution indorstng
that method OF policing city. For
two hours the debate waxed warm, and
Il appearing that bitterness would be
enRendered in the association II a vote
was had. the introducer withdrew II

ANONYMOUS WRITERS
SQUEAL ON INCONSISTENCIES

Inquisitive but anonymous persons
should cease their daily letters to
Judge Thomas @. Jones. OF the Federal
Court for the Middle District of Ala
bama, in which they ask for detectives
to run down blind tigers and moon
sinners. That is the way Judge Jones
feels about 1t and said SO yesterday.
II looks like every mail brings 70
the Federal Court Judge a letter from
some section Of Alabama requesting
that he send a detective or detectives
to their midst. where a tip would be
given that would lead TO the breaking
up OF an Illicit still. The writer's Of
the communications, whether trying a
decoy or playing in Ignorance. are very
persistent. They represent that since
prohibition took away the legalized
thirst parlors the moonshiners have
thrived and are becoming nuisances
where they never existed before.
The court invariably throws them in
the waste basket. for there is no adj
dress. Even II they HAD sent their adj
dresses Judge Jones said he could only
have referred them to the Internal
Revenue Collector. That is the officer
to furnish the detectives he said, and
the court could only deal with moon
sinners after they are caught and not
before.

II has been found that hogs contract
the disease principally through feed
ing. Samples Of raw skinned milk

OF the leading dairy States were in
jected into guinea pigs and in one in

covered. Hogs from Arkansas, Okla

To Keep Alive Chinese
American Agreement.

Berlin, June 16-The American pro-
test at Pekin against the conclusion
by the Chinese government of the loan
agreement with German. British ana
French bankers for $27.5O0,U0O for the
construction of the Hankow-Sze Chuen
Railroad. without having given Amer
lean fnancIers an opportunity to par
ticipate, has made stir in diplomatic
circles here and among the financial
houses with Far East interests.
The action OF the State Department
is regarded oflcially in Berlin as iu-
tended to keep alive the Chinese Amer
lean agreement of 1904. in order that
the present loan shall not be taken as
a precedent. 1t Is not supposed that
washington seeks a cancellation OF the
loan contract. Foreign Secretary Won
Schoen fs understood to have said ver-
bally to Ambassador Hill that the Ger
man government had nothing TO 40
with this loan: that 1t was solely a bus
mess agreement between the bankers
concerned and the Chinese government

tation OF the "open door" policy.
The German group of bankers par
tIcipating in the loan in question con-
siders that the present loan has been
closed. They are surprised that an
American syndicate desired to partici-
nate, because neither here nor In China
was anything made known of the
