RIGHT TO Use THE LABEL
Treasury Department Flooded With
Protests From Tobacco Interests
Regarding Philippine Cigars.

Washington, Nov 24.-Despite a flood
Of protests reaching the treasury de-
partment from American tobacco inter.
ests haying the government because OF
the use OF a label which is claimed to
De the government guaranty on Phil
ippine cigars, the fault lies, not with
the United States government, but
with the Philippines. which uses the
label complained Of at its discretion.
This statement was made officially at
the treasury department today, and il
was pointed out that the remedy lay
with congress.
Cigars enter this country with a label
attached by the Philippine government
attesting their production under gov
eminent regulation. According "a
Washington authorities where that la
bel does not encrosch upon any Of the
marks, stamps or brands required by the
law and regulations Of the treasury de-
partment, its use cannot be objected 10.
The new tariff law differentiates plainly
between internal revenue taxes collect
ed for the benefit OF the United states
and Internal revenue taxes collected for
the benefit OF TIE Philippine govern
ment. The Philippines, like Porto Rico,
have a regularly organized taxation
system entirely separate from the inter-
nal revenue system.

MAIN SHAFT Of MINE
IS NOW THREATENED
Impossible to Bring Remaining Vic
tins of Cherry Disaster to
the Surface.

Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 24.-After more than
$50 bodies had been discovered in the
st. Paul mine early today. efforts to
carry them to the surface were tempo
rarily abandoned while battle was be-
gun to check a fire that again threat
ened the main shaft
If efforts to control the fire are not
successful early tomorrow, it is prob
able the mine again will be sealed and
will remain so for weeks, if not months.
Today flames from the fire in the sec
ond vein, $40 feet below the surface, had
swept fifty feet up the main shaft. Then
the fire was forced back. Mine Man
ager Taylor says that destruction Of the
main shaft is at all times imminent. and
with it will go the only possibility of
removing the bodies. That no men sur
vive in the mine is now generally con-
eeded. even by the most optimistic.
The only part of the mine as yet I'M
explored, and in which living men pos
sibly could be found, is the east work.
ing of the second vein, at the entrance
of which the fire is burning fiercely.
Twice rescuing parties that have ven
tured past the fire area have been tenn
porarily cut off by the flames and res
cued with difficulty. No further at
tempt to venture into the fire zone will
be made until the fire is extinguished
which may be work of days.
George S Rice of Pittsburg, the
United States geological survey expert,
has made scientific tests relative to
black and white damp, which it is be-
lieved will be of use to the government
in rescue work in future mine disasters.

EASTERN EXPERT IS
INTERESTING TALKER
Big, Blonde and Jolly, He
Makes Unusual impress
sion in Salt Lake.
RICH AND POOR VISIT HIM
CLAIMS TO HAVE MET $500 PER
SONS SINCE HE HAS BEEN IN
UTAH METROPOLIS.

He was a big, blonde man. His face
was creased with good-natured wrin-
kles radiating from kindly, steady blue
eyes. A voice musically masculine
only became more subdued when he
emphasized a point in talking. His
eyes grew grayish and fairly snapped
and sparkled with sincere enthusiasm.
Half a dozen people were in the
group before him. One was a day Ia
borer, evidently; another seemed a keen
business man, and the others were
women, one plainly attired and carry
ing a baby, while her sisters were more
fashionably dressed. With common
sense logic he held their attention close
ly.
The scene was typical of one that
has taken place hundred times a day
at Smiths Busy Corner" Drug Store,
Second South and Main streets, during
the past three weeks.
It was the Cooper stomach man" in
action. Made fun of by some, but
praised by thousands of others, Cooper
has made an impression in Salt Lake
City that cannot fail to be recognized.
He claims to have treated the stom-
achs of more than $500 persons in the
Zion city, and investigation would in
dictate that his statement cannot have
been much of an Overestimate.
His unique ideas about the treatment
of disease and his theory that 95 per
cent of all i'll health is caused by stOiH-
ach trouble have created a veritable
furore of comment. His headquarters
have been thronged with visitors daily.
Several hundreds of persons have an
nounced themselves in newspaper inter
views as Cooper converts" declaring
that they have been cured of all kinds
of diseases through practicing his health
doctrines.

CALL ON TAFT
full, According to Verdict of
Twenty-fOur Ohio Girls.

Washington. Nov. 24.-President Taft
is bashful to the point of extreme diff
dence.
This is the verdict of twenty-four
pretty girls from Ohio, the Presidents
native state, who called at the White
House today. They are reputed to be
the most popular representatives of
twenty-four counties of the Buckeye
state selected through a voting contest
conducted by a Cleveland newspaper.
All are pretty and vivaeious, and the
President seemed overcome when they
rushed" him in the executive office.
According to them, the President lapsed
into a state of blue funk" and seemed
to be completely overcome by their
presence. He shook hands with each
and wished them pleasant trip on the
rest of their journey, but that was all.
When the young women filed out they
were in love with the President, but
they said unanimously that he fell
down" when il came to paying them
compliments. A report that some of the
girls attempted to kiss Commander
Robert E. Peary at the White House
at the time was Indignantly denied, both
by the explorer and the girls them
selves.

EXPECTS TO COMPLY
WITH LETTER OF LAW
Views of William G. Rockefeller
Anent the Standard Oil
Decision.

New York, Nov. 24.-William Rookie
Teller, a vice president and director of
the Standard Oil company, gave diff
ferent color today to the appeal. which
Mortimer Elliott, the company's gen
eral solicitor. had announced is to be
taken from the decree of the United
States court.
Legal affairs Of the company, Mr..
Rockefeller said, would continue to re-
main IN the hands of its legal depart
ment, but as a layman he wished to in
dictate that his own attitude and that
of his associates had its share Of al
truism.
TT seems to me desirable" he said,
mot only for my own interests and
those Of my associates, but for the pub
lie at large and for all other great bust
ness ventures, that the Sherman act
should be finally set beyond contention
as interpreted by the supreme court of
the United States. Undoubtedly our
case will be appealed, and for this rea-
son.
Il am not a lawyer, and cannot dis
cuss the decree of the circuit court, but
Mr.. Elliott has said that an appeal will
be taken, and the matter is entirely in
hands Of counsel of the company.
''In this connection ] want to say, as
a large stakeholder, however, as the
case eventuates there will be no unwill-
ingness to comply fully, not only with
the letter, but the spirit of the law, as
it shall be settled by the supreme
court"

CHIEF Of BIG TONG
WANTED BY POLICE
Indictment of Tong King
ChOng by the Grand Jury
in San Francisco.

San Francisco, Nov. 24.-Tong King
Chong. secretary of the Chinese Free
Masons, said to be one of the most in
fiuential and widely known Chinese in
the United States, was indicted by the
grand jury today on charges of com
plicity in some of the seven murders
which have followed the outbreak of a
blood feud between the zee family and
the On Yick tong. Five other Chinese,
Gee Hong On, president of the on
Yicks; Lee Suet, the interpreter Of the
tong, and Chin Let, Pick Hew and Ho
Kim Tew, alleged gunner of the So
ciety, were also indicted. Lee Suet is
the only one of the five in custody, al
though warrants for the arrest of Chong
and On have been awaiting service for
several weeks.
The police believe that all are in hid
ing in the interior of the state
The feud between the On Yick tong
and the Yees followed the elOpement of
30 Cue, a pretty Chinese girl. who was
the property of a member Of the tong,
with a man of the Yee family The girl
is now an inmate of a mission home.
Tong King Chong, it is charged. con-
spired with others to cause the deaths
OF members of the Yee clan. He is ed
itor of the Chinese Free Press in this
city. has a splendid education. both Chi
nese and English. and is the head of the
Chez Kung tong, or Free MasOns, which
numbers 80 per cent of the Chinese in
this country on its rolls. He is said to

and the right hand man of DIR. Sun Vat
Sen, the Chinese revolutionary leader,
who has been exiled from his native
land for years with a price of $4,000 on
mis- head because of his activities
against the present dynasty.
Chong is something of a reformer, ac-
cOrding to the local police, and at one
time engaged in a crusade against gam
bling in the Chinese quarter, which re-
suited in a bloody tong war and the in
dictment of twelve tong presidents on
charges of murder. The disaster of 1906
destroyed the evidence in these cases
and they were dropped.
