KNOX OUTPLAYS
THE Willy
JAP
Especial to The Press.)

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Al
though the intelligence has not
yet dawned upon most people,
there is a we'll settled conviction
among the insiders in the game of
world politics that Secretary of
State Knox has executed neat
coup on Japan by boosting the
game of American finance in China
and securing for American bankers
portion of the loan for the Han
kow railroad extension.
automatically speaking, 1t
amounts to putting a spoke in the
Japanese wheel. There have been
no outcries on the part of the
Japanese press. The mikado has
been busy reading dispatches from
Admirals Uriu and Ijichi telling
about the hospitality Of Americans.
On the surface, Japan is tickled to
death with everything-except, per-
haps, Hawaii. Those who know
how to interpret tn silence of the
Japanese press, however, as we'll as
it's utterances-it is absolutely
obedient to the will of the state
see in this silence chagrin and ut
ter rout. 1t is evident that the
oriental government regards the
coup as of such Importance that
the newspapers have not been al
lowed to comment upon it. The re-
port of the new policy to promote
American financial interests in
China has been received with utter
silence.
1t is not too late to expect some
counter move on the part of Japan

WASHINGTON, June 25.--
Stories of his observations in
Porto Rico told by Congressman
olmsted of PENNSYLVANIA have
proved highly entertaining to his
colleagues. Here are three little
ones:
Il watched for an hour the yok-
ink and hitching up of pair of
oxen by five men. One third of
the time was taken up by dress
ing their horns with red cloth. Aft
er they got them attached to the
cart it was found that they would
not pull because they were yoked
on the wrong side. Then all had
to be done over again. I did not
await the result for fear that con-
gress might adjourn sometime this
autumn and I wanted to get my

Grateful for
Eczema Cure
Any Suffer Can Write to Robert
Sussman of Toledo, Ohio, for
Full Information.

There are undoubtedly many
frauds in the testimonials of medi-
cal firms-letters written by
friends or even employees of the
advertiser. But on the other hand
in some cases the testimonials are
thoroughly genuine, gladly offered
by prominent citizens who are
grateful for the cure.
Such a case is that of Robert
Sussman, a well known furrier of
Toledo, Ohio, who for years suffer-
ed with a severe case of eczema.
He described his case as almost
uncomfortable. About five years
ago he was induced to try the oil
of wintergreen compound known
as D. d. d. Prescription for ecze-
ma sufferers. He has gone out
of his way to find sufferers and
to tell them of this remedy. He
has done this without pay, of
course, and without even having
been requested to do so by the d.
d. D. Company. 1t was simply the
fact that his health, his very life,
had been restored that made him
so enthusiastic. Mr.. Sussman re-
Gently wrote letter offering to
write to any eczema sufferer and
to describe his case. If any read
er of this paper should write Mr.
Sussman, We request that self ad
dressed stamped envelope be en-
closed.

sented. 1t will constitute another
complication in the already COM
pick relations between the coun-
tries. If the mikado prefers to
look upon it as a beneficent move
ment for encouraging the develop
ment of China as a world market,
it will, in a sense, combine to a
greater extent the interests of the
two nations. In the meantime Dip
lomatists and financiers are wait
ing and watching.

ously threatened. On the con-
trary, the production of children,
especially of the dark color, is
largely on the increase. 1t costs
nothing to raise them, either as
respects food or clothing. The
country ones are naked until they
reach the age of 10 or IL years,
and thereafter they are but little
better clad. Their food consists
mainly of the windfalls of fruit and
refuse, if they can beat the dog
or the hog to it."

FARM LABOR THE TROUBLE.

FARM LABOR THE TROUBLE.
"High prices for foodstuffs in the
United States cannot be justified" says
Secretary Wilson, of the Department of
Agriculture, "but if you want to know
the real inside explanation will give it
to you.
"The farmers can't get help. While
the population of the United States has
been steadily increasing through the
usual additions at home and from i'm
migration, the cultivated area OF the
country is decreasing Thousands Of
acres formerly raising products that
made the food OF the country have gone
back 10 psstursge. The farmers sim.
ply cannot get the men to raise crops.

who might 90 to the farm, but the boy

excitement of miugling with people there
are the shorter hours and the better pay.
The farmer has doubled his wages in the
last Is years, but the farmer 10 his busy
season must work 16 hours day, while
in the city eight hours has become the
rule. 1t would seem to be wise
policy to get the immigrant away from
the large cities and out into the country
where his services are needed and where
be has a chance to grow into property

many of the immigrants arriving would

They are from cities of Europe or have
iarmed in a primitive way and would

will not allow American farmers to i'm
port real farmers from Europe who
know how to DO the work."

Clever Scheme Discovered by Logan

When market quotations ceased coming
in Yesterday afternoon a force Of carpenters
be came busy in the office OF the firm OF
Logan 4 Bryan in the Board OF Trade
building at sixteenth and Farnsm streets.
The carpenters were changing the location
OF the big blackboard on which fluctuations
in prices are chalked up as they occur.
The reason for this change Involves the
story or the discovery OF a big market re-
port theft,
while the scenetof the wholesale quota
ton stealing is in Omaha, and the discov-
cry of the mode Of operating was made
here. fun details have, only reached Omaha
following the return 3 TO Chicago from
Omaha Of Ben Bryan, junior member OF
the firm OF Logan & Bryan and one Of the
best known men on the Chicago Board Of
Trade.
For some time the firm of Logan &
Bryan has believed It's quotations and mar
ket tips were being stolen. Bucketshops in
Omaha. Kansas City, 81. Louis. Denver
and a score or more Of small country towns
have been utilizing the quotations and mar
ket gossip which has been emanating from

to start an investigation.

BANCROFT, Neb, April 2.-To the Ed
itor OF The Bee: Please decide the follow
ing q ~~estion: In a wet town, where no ordi-
nance has been passed limiting the num-
her OF saloons, A says the board can issue
one, .two or three licenses, just as 1t thinks
best. b says the board is obliged to issue
licenses to all applicants, providing all have
complied with the Law and are proper per-
soma 20 run a saloon under the Slocumb
law. Which Is right?
A READER OF THE BEE.
Answer-Under the Slocumb law, the city
council or village board has the power to
fix the number of licenses that may be
granted to saloons, to limit the number and
the territory. to assess the amount Of
license fee. save that 1t shall not be less
than the amount prescribed by law for
the different classes OF communities, and
TO fix the hours for doing business. save
that the saloons may not be legally kept
open between the hours of / and 4 o'clock
a. m. on week days or at any time on
Sundays. The so-cslled daylight Law
passed by the last legislature takes away
from the village boards OF city councils no
power granted by the slocumb law. but
fixes the time a saloon may legally be
kept open at from 7 o'clock a. IN. 20 S
O'Clock p. m. The local authorities may
restrict these hours still further II they
choose.

SUMMING UP At MEsSINA
Losses I'm Life and Money CaIcuIated
by an American COrre-


In casting the balance sheet Of Messina,
the chief loss, speaking merely In terms OF
economics, is that OF human life. How
many are dead we shall never know ex-
actly, but the materials for a tolerable esti-
mate are already at hand-in the condition
of the ruins, the rough statistics of the
escaped, and the Impressions OF the cooler
observers in the first hours and days of
the cataltrophe. One who, like. Captain de-
Angels. counted the dead and living IN the
villages toward the Faro, visiting also the
ruins OF the city, Is in a position to make
a pretty close estimate, In the commune
OF Messina he believes $1,000 souls have
persisted, or considerable more than half
the population, which was roughly 150.Ooo
My reckoning was made on the conviction
that two-thirds of the inhabitants of the
city proper containing 80, 400 people, had
persisted, and of these three-quarters in
simultaneously or through slow exhaustion
deep In the ruins The first shock of the
earthquake, / believe, either killed or
trapped no less than 10000 people in the
city. In the outlaying district, where the
houses are lower. the deaths from subse-
quent exposure and famine perhaps ex-
ceeded those caused Immediately by the
shock.
Reggie, across the straits had an urban
population OF a,0O0. The whole
a large one, had n. 400 inhabitants Here
help came slowly; there were no mistaken
prosperous towns near by to give aid and
asylum. and the tidal wave drowned many.

the dead In Sicily outside the mmu Of
Messina, and In Calabria those who DER

were is a mere guess. But think 1000
Is not an excessive estimate. In these out
laying districts. with dearth of food. water
and surgical aid, the death rate among
the refugees was appalling. II we say
that in the entire field of destruction 10000
men, woman and children persisted. we
shall not be very far from the facts, and,
/ think, well within them.
The Mattino OF Naples, which is uncom-
monty well Informed in this case, writes:
We may reckon as destroyed the houses
OF 10000 inhabitants in the province OF
Reggie. and Of $4,000 In that OF Messina. -
II proceeds to qualify these figures I'm a
favorable sense, but roughly they give the
measure OF the work that must be done
Nearly 10000 people must be housed In
this region. The Msttino, basing its figures
on official valuations, estimates the value
of the destroyed houses on the tax roll al
100000. Including the little houses not
taxed. and the cost OF rebuilding the public
structures, the construction bill IN sigh
cannot be less than $4,000. O0 Evidently
this is a wide guess. Public building II
VIGOROUSLY expensive in Italy. while Il II
doubtful II private owners will be in hast
TO rebuild. But something like Ho.OO00'
may represent the loss In real estate. Blu
recent emigration from these regions makes
me suspect that the figures are based on a
census OF eight years ago, The true fig.
ures must be somewhat smaller.-Frank ]
