THE IMPERvIOUs MIR. ALDRICH.

Nearly anyone except Mr.. Aldrich
would have lost composure under the
remarkable denunciations that were
made of the chairman of the Finance
Committee in the Senate on Satur-
day, but Mr.. Aldrich met it all with
his sarcastic grin. First Mr.. Dolliver
and then Mr.. LaFollette told him
face to face that he was no longer to
be trusted, and that they could not
accept his statements. Mr.. Delivers
attack on Mr.. Aldrich was little less
than sensational. The Iowan was
even more bitter and vigorous than
in his speech a month ago, which
exceeded in vitriolic power anything
heard in the Senate in recent sessions
of Congress. Saturday he warned
Senator Aldrich of his intention to
attempt to discredit him and his COM
mittee before the country, and de-
clared, as the Rhode Islander left the
chamber, that he did so at the peril
of taking the moral consequences"
of the situation. Bit Mr.. Aldrich
has the backing of the trusts and
that makes him impervious to crit

to be expected. Wheat being the raw
material of flour and flour the raw
material of bread, an increase in the
cost of the first, whether natural or
artificial, necessitates proportionate
advances in the more finished prod
ucts. The only question is whether
the upward tendencies have not been
used by combinations and manipula-
tors to fill their own pockets out of
the needs of the people. There is no
doubt that considerable part of
the advance in wheat is due to the
small amount of last years crop still
available for marketing. There is
general belief that this legitimate ad-
vance has been exaggerated by spec
Telegraph. AS far as this is the case
we may hope that it will be tempo
rary, and that the harvesting of a
good crop this year will restore
prices to fair basis. There are also
indications that a ombination of
milling interests has increased the
old margin between the prices of
wheat and -four, and thus established
another squeeze on consumers. These

ucts cannot be carried very far with

Then the total number in the United

According to the statistics recent
ly compiled at Toxic there were in

were in California and neighboring
states. 1t is in agriculture alone that
anything like signal success has been
attained. There are $4,000 Japan
csc farmers in California, and they
own an aggregate of 100000 acres,
devoted mainly to the cultivation of
fruits and vegetables. An important
feature is their contribution to trade
with Japan, but much more remark
able are the sums RENTED by them
to the home country. In 1904 they
sent to Japan $3,75O,0O0, in 1905
nearly 100000 and in 1906, S.
633, 200. Nothing is said here about
Hawaii, SO we may presume the Jap
anese population is growing on the
Continent.
The acting consul-general of Japan
at New York furnishes the papers of
that city with the statement that the
Japanese are moving homeward.
During the month of April 26 first

210 Storage passengers returned to
Japan; 25 first-class and SO second

tered the United States. For the
same period one first-class and 368
steerage passengers returned to Jap
an from Hawaii, three frst-class and
Y steerage passengers entered Ha-
wall Thus it is apparent that dur
Ing this period SO more Japanese re-
turned home than entered the main
land of the United States, and 1876
more returned home than entered

these were of the working class, as
shown by their mode of travel.-Ma-

SPELLING FOR A SHIP SUBSIDY.

According to program, Hon. c. B.
Lands, of Indiana, delivered yester-
day his address on can American
Merchant Marine in it's Relation to
Southern Prosperity" before the
Georgia Industrial Association in
session at Warm Springs. AS the
Herald had predicted, it was a plea
for the substituting of steamship
lines.
Mr.. Lands as a member of Con-
gress was one of the strongest ad-
vocates of ship subsidies, but unlike
his great speech in Congress on this
subject, in his speech yesterday he
minced no words. He called the
spade a spade, and in plain terms
argued that our government SHOULD
substitute certain steamships, which
he claimed was necessary to secure
for our country it's proper share of
the ocean carrying service.
Like all advocates of ship sub
sidy Mr.. Lands finds it necessary
to state his premises incorrectly in
order to make them fit as a founda-
ton for the arguments based upon
them. He asserted that while the
word subsidy does not appeal to
American enthusiasm and while it is
to be regretted that any industry
should have to be supported arti-
ficially, yet it would seem that if the
United States is ever to have mer-
chant marine it will have to be by
the subsidy method" Does the his
tory of the past bear out this asser-
ton?
There was time when the Ameri-
can merchant marine was inferior
only to England's, when the Ameri-
can flag was seen on every sea, and
the famous American clipper ships
sailed to every port. And it must be
remembered that no subsidies we're
then paid to ships. In competition
with the world the American mer-
chant marine was acknowledged the
best and secured our full share of
the worlds carrying trade-without
being subsidized. Our country is far
richer now than it was then, and
what our people did then they can
do now if the proper effort is made
Mr.. Lands artfully tried to appeal
to the self-interest of Southern man
ufacturers, to incline them to favor
ship subsidies. He said: "In the
year 1907 Southern cotton mills sent
to South America manufactured
products to the value of $11,31318
During the same period England sent
to the South American countries cot
ton cloths and yarns to the value of
6,083, 423. The figures analysed
show that the export trade of Eng
land to the South American countries
in cotton cloths was nearly six times
greater than our own, while on cot
ton yarns and threads it was fifty
times greater"

LONG CROSS EXAMINA-
TION FOR MRS. GOULD
Defense viii Grill Her, So 1t Threat.
ens-Actor Farnum Too I'll to
Testify.

New York, June 24.-Mrs. Kather-
inc Clemmons Gould was again wit
ness today in her suit for divorce and
$250,000 alimony against Howard
Gould. 1t is expected that the case
will 90 over until tomorrow as the
defense expected to call several wit
nesses in rebuttal. Attorney Shearn
for Mrs. Gould had one deposition to
read, that of Dustin Farnum, the act
or, whose name was linked with Mrs.
Gould throughout the trial. Shearn
said he expected to have Farnum as
a witness but the actor is i'll in Maine
and not able to be present. The de.
fense announced its intention of
maintaining long cross-eXamination
of Mrs. Gould.
AS Shearn started to read the dep
osition of Farnum, Attorney Nicoll
for the defense, objected, because
Farnum is resident of New York
and had been in the court room re-
Gently. Judge Bowling permitted the
reading to continue. Farnum said he
met Mrs. Gould seven years ago at
charitable benefit and later took
lunch at Castle Gould with Mrs.
Gould and Miss Mae Robinson; again
lunched with Mrs. Regis at the st.
Regis where the subject of Mrs.
Gould returning to the stage was talk
ed over. He said Mr.. Sells was to
have been there, but came when Far
mum was leaving.
Farnum told of the meeting with
Mrs. Gould at Hartford, Connecticut,
while touring with theatrical pro-
duction. He had lunches with her
there. He told OF the week when
playing in Brooklyn and said Mrs.
Gould came to the theater one night
with a friend and Farnum accompa-
MED them to New York, where all
had lunch. On another occasion they
had lunch at the st. Regis but did not
60 to her rooms. He said in the
Philadelphia meeting, Mrs. Sells, was
with Mrs. Gould when he was in Mrs.
Gould's apartments. He told of
other meetings but insisted that all
were proper and that always some
one else was present.

Washington, D. c., June 24.-The
Republican members of the Senate
finance committee began the final
consideration of the proposed corpo-
ration tax amendemnt to the tariff
bin this morning. For several hours
they we're in session with Senator
Root over various features as drawn
by Root and Wickersham. 1t is be.
lieved that the amendment will be
accepted as prepared but some
members have suggested slight chang
es with view of making the amend
ment as impervious to attacks as pos
sible. The fact has become known
that not only will some of the strong
est corporations over the country an
tagonize the bill but after it's passage
will attempt to overthrow 1t. 1t is
believed that the amendment will
reach the Senate tomorrow.
Senator Beveridge today continued
his efforts for an amendment of the
correct size of tobacco packages. He
declared that though the Spanish
American tax was repealed the man.
ufacturers continued selling the de-
creased size for as great cost with
the result that many millions are
taken from the people wrongfully.
He said the amendment will bring
$21, 100000 revenue into the treasury
and give the people the size of pack
age they pay for.

TWO CH|NKS
WOOED ELSIE
And She Paid the
Penalty With
Death
MODE OF MURDER UNKNOWN
D Decomposition Had Set in
When Body Was
Discovered.

New York, June PA fresh crop
of theories as to the motive for the
murder of Miss Elsie Sigel, whose
body was found in trunk in the
room of Leon Ling in the Chinese
quarter, was brought out today. One
of these is by Chu Gain, who it Is
believed was a rival for the affections
of Miss Sigel. 1t shows that Gain re.
ceived threats from Leon that unless
he ceased his attentions to the girl
both he and the girl would be killed.
Gain said he also received a warning
from his brother, said to have eme
mated from Leon to the effect that
death would follow further attentions
to the girl. The exact cause of the
girls death is also dark because the
body is so far decomposed as to make
identification impossible.
That Miss Sgel was an innocent
victim of Chinese ruffians is the lat.
est theory of the police. 1t is now
believed that the girl who was friend
ly to- the Chinese in her missionary
work, was enticed to Icons room
and murdered because she would not
submit to Icons entreaties. The
further theory is that Leon drugged
the girl before killing her, which is
borne out by the handkerchief story
of Chung Sin who said he saw Leon
kill the girl. The threatening letters
received by Chu Gain were turned
over to the district attorney this
morning. Aside from the fact that
they contain threats, the contents
were not made public. The sugges-
tion that Leon may have gone to Cuba
is advanced by a white woman in
Chinatown who said she heard a
Chinaman express the belief that
Leon was in Cuba.
Chinese After Leon.
New York, June 24.--The Chinese
Empire Reform Association has sent
a letter to ITO branches throughout
the country asking aid in the capture
of Leon Ling, wanted for the murder
of Miss Sigel. At a meeting of the
Christian Chinese tonight an attmept
will be made to raise a fund for the
capture of Leon and to express indig
nation.
